Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Koujar, called on the government today, Tuesday, to expedite sending the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives.
Koger said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The current year is approaching its end, and despite that, we do not know anything about the 2025 budget schedules, nor do we know what projects, financial specializations, or financial deficit it includes,” stressing “the need for the government to expedite sending it.”
He explained that “the budget should normally be voted on before the end of any fiscal year so that it is ready for disbursement at the beginning of each new year,” noting that “there is no justification for this disruption and delay in sending the tables.”
He added: “Many parliamentary letters were sent by members of parliament to inquire about the date of sending the schedules and what they included, but until now we have not received any official response from the relevant government agencies.”
It is noteworthy that the 2024 budget revenues amounted to “144 trillion and 336 billion dinars, while expenditures amounted to 210 trillion and 936 billion dinars, with the deficit amounting to 63 trillion and 599 billion dinars.”
