Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Hussein Mounes, ruled out on Tuesday the possibility of the draft state budget and its detailed schedules reaching Parliament at the present time, pointing to the existence of major obstacles to its approval.
Mounes explained in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency that “there are several reasons behind this delay, most notably the large deficit resulting from the differences between revenues and expenditures,” pointing to “the lack of a clear vision regarding the financing of investment projects included in the budget.”
He addressed the issue of the region, stressing that it constitutes an additional obstacle and said: “We do not yet know the size of the expected revenues, nor the value of the expenses resulting from them,” expressing his “expectation that the budget schedules will not reach Parliament under the current circumstances.”
It is noteworthy that Parliament had previously hosted the Minister of Finance to discuss the budget schedules and the reasons for the delay in sending them.
