Information / Baghdad..
The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, today, Wednesday, that the government did not send the 2025 budget tables to the Parliamentary Finance Committee due to amendments being made to them after the House of Representatives voted to amend Article 12, Second C, related to the region’s oil, expecting it to be sent next week.
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Kojer, said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The Council of Ministers has not yet sent the budget tables to the House of Representatives, and we in the Parliamentary Finance Committee are waiting for those tables to come from the government to discuss and approve them in the Council,” while he indicated that “the budget deficit may be close to the planned deficit in the 2024 budget.”
He added, “The delay in sending the 2025 budget tables was due to making amendments to them after the House of Representatives voted to amend Article 12, Second C, related to the region’s oil, and it needs to make changes,” expecting “it to be sent next week.”
It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives voted to amend Article (12/Second/C) of the Triennial Budget Law for the years (2023, 2024 and 2025).
