I'm surprised they did this while the cabinet is fallen.

That's just the cabinet, so lawmaking is on hold for now, but the government and the ministry of economic affairs is still operational. A government can't just stop working because a small (albeit important) part of it is waiting for the elections.

They can't make laws, but they can still enforce laws.
