The financial expert and former Director of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Salah Nouri, explained the mechanism for the House of Representatives’ vote on the federal budget.
Nouri told {Al-Furat News} that: “If the budget reaches Parliament, the vote will be on the tables only.”
He added, “Parliament will also vote on the paragraphs proposed by the government for amendment, if any, and not all of the budget paragraphs.”
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Haitham Al-Zahwan, announced on the 21st of this month that there is a possibility to send the 2024 budget and approve it before the legislative recess of the House of Representatives begins on the 9th of next May.
Al-Zahwan attributed the reasons for the delay in the arrival of the 2024 budget schedules to “the continuation of work on them,” expecting that they will be sent in the coming days.
The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, said in a statement that the committee is awaiting the arrival of the 2024 budget schedules during this month. While he stressed the effort to correct the budget path by maximizing non-oil revenues, encouraging the private sector, and reducing operational spending.
