Could jaki jest here also mean how is, in the sense of "How is the budget for next year?" I.e. is it good or bad, is it coming along or are people dragging their feet, etc.?

As with many Duolingo sentences, it does sound odd in isolation, but I think one could imagine a context in which it would be appropriate:
"We are spending way too much on repairs, aren't we." "Yes, it's only April, and we are over budget." "What is the budget next year? Whatever it is, I think we will have to talk to the finance committee about raising it."
I always try to imagine a context for a sentence when deciding whether it is really something we would never say or rather something we would only say in a specific context.
