Shafaq News/ The Prime Minister’s Adviser for Financial and Economic Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, ruled out on Sunday setting a supplementary budget at the end of this year.
Saleh told Shafaq News Agency, “During the past years, after the increase in oil prices, the government has created a supplementary budget in which the budget is corrected by adding some projects and other things that the country needs,” expecting that “there will not be a supplementary budget under these circumstances and with the presence of an election year in November.” “.
He added that “the next year’s budget is supposed to be 2022 by the end of this year,” wondering “how to solve this problem with the end of the parliament’s life.”
Saleh expressed his hope that “the 2022 budget will be presented and approved by Parliament, discussed and approved before it dissolves or as soon as the elections are successful and a new government is formed quickly and a new parliament will be presented by the Ministry of Finance to present the new budget to Parliament in the first or second legislative session of Parliament for discussion and approval quickly.”
Early elections are scheduled to be held on the tenth of next October of this year, according to the vote of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, and the House of Representatives voted to dissolve itself three days before the elections.
Parliament and the government often fail to approve the budget before the end of the year as a result of political tensions between the blocs.
