The government’s decisions in the budget law have sparked political criticism, particularly its move to devalue the dinar against the dollar to secure liquidity and address the financial deficit, while simultaneously burdening the budget with new appointments and the regularization of contracts.
Former member of the parliamentary finance committee, Mohammed Ibrahim, told Al-Maalomah, “There are many questions surrounding the government’s decision to devalue the dinar against the dollar to provide liquidity and increase revenues, while the existing deficit and liquidity shortage raise questions about the government’s motives for releasing appointments and creating new job positions.”
He added, “The issue of appointments to permanent positions does not necessarily translate into economic returns for the state or increased revenues through the productivity of the new employee,” noting that “there is no problem with some employees remaining on contracts; this is a successful practice in other countries and has proven that such employees will be productive.”
He explained that “releasing appointments in the budget while the exchange rate is changing confirms the existence of contradictions, especially since securing liquidity, providing it, and addressing the deficit cannot be achieved by increasing financial burdens and straining the budget with new appointments.”
