The Finance Committee in the House of Representatives confirmed, on Friday, that it did not officially receive the draft general budget bill for next year.
Committee member Magda Al-Tamimi said, according to the official agency, that “the Finance Committee has not yet officially received the draft budget for next year,” noting that “the Central Bank is responsible for the exchange rate, and it is not the financial committee’s authority to interfere with it.”
Al-Tamimi added, “The Financial Committee seeks to reduce the effects of changing the exchange rate on the vulnerable classes of people with limited income,” confirming that its committee seeks to increase social welfare allocations and the ration card items.
She pointed out that “there is a new mechanism presented regarding the ration card file, away from the current approved mechanism,” indicating that “the new mechanism will protect the local product.”
The Council of Ministers voted on the federal general budget for the fiscal year 2021, during the extraordinary session held on Monday, headed by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
