budget negotiations
Money allocation discussions
Budget negotiations are discussions between parties—typically government officials, legislators, or organizational leaders—to reach agreement on how money will be allocated.
The term implies competing priorities and the give-and-take required to finalize spending plans: Budget negotiations in Congress stalled over defense spending.
The process often involves compromise, deadline pressure, and political maneuvering.
