On Thursday, the Finance Committee, headed by Atwan Al-Atwani and attended by its members, held its second meeting on the 2024 budget schedules.
Al-Atwani said in a statement received by Al-Maalouma, “We are analyzing the data of the budget schedules and discussing their contents in detail, in order to complete them in an optimal manner and in record time. We are also working to establish a correct financial path that everyone agrees on.”
He explained, “The meeting reviewed the numbers and tables for the financial allocations for the years 2023-2024, and also included reviewing a detailed report of the actual expenditure for the year 2023 with regard to current and investment expenditures.”
The Chairman of the Committee stressed “the necessity of not expanding spending in a way that adds financial burdens to the government, while emphasizing the Ministry of Finance’s commitment to complete financing for 2023 projects so that state institutions can fulfill their contractual obligations.”
Al-Atwani pointed out that “the Finance Committee agreed to host the Minister of Finance at the beginning of next week, to study the reasons for the increase in operating expenses, as well as the financing file, and will then host the Minister of Planning,” stressing “the determination to complete the budget schedules before the legislative recess begins.”
He stated, “It was agreed to complete discussions on the Owners Amendment Law at the next meeting of the Finance Committee in order to present it to the House of Representatives for the purpose of voting on it.”
