The financial advisor to the prime minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said that there are projects that will be implemented in the coming days that were pending the approval of the 2021 budget law.
Saleh told {Al-Furat News} that “government expenditures constitute 50% for the operation of manpower and its effects for the operation of economic activity constitute 85%.”
The government consultant added that “economic activity depends on government expenditures,” stressing that “voting on the budget has a positive effect to initiate economic activities.”
He pointed out that “there are new projects that will start work in the coming days and will provide thousands of job opportunities for the unemployed.”
Saleh pointed out that “there are operational programs to combat poverty and promote the ration card items, which were awaiting the vote on the budget law.
The House of Representatives voted late last night on the articles of the Budget Law for 2021, after rounds of negotiations and conflicts that lasted for three months.
The political blocs, which participated in the voting session, added two articles that were not included in the draft budget. The first obliges the Council of Ministers to send the names of those assigned to the positions of independent bodies and special ranks to Parliament, by no later than June 30, to end the management of those positions by proxy.
As for the second article added to the law, it stipulates allocating 30,000 job grades for the return of those whose contracts have been avoided by the members of the Popular Mobilization Forces.
Five articles (20, 38, 42, 43, 47) were dropped in the vote. Parliament voted on Article (11) on the Kurdistan region’s share smoothly, and this article was one of the most prominent articles that obstructed the vote on the law.
