The specialist in economic affairs, Muhammad Al-Saadi, explained how to overcome the intersections that may occur between the government and parliament regarding the latter’s amendment of some paragraphs of the budget, which creates a change in the government’s plan and program according to which the budget was drawn.
Al-Saadi told Al-Maalouma, “It is unlikely that the House of Representatives will make substantial amendments to the items of the financial budget, as the discussions that the Finance Committee is conducting with the executive authorities are a positive case in reviewing the ministries’ allocations of operational expenses and investment allocations, and they constitute a kind of transparency.” Knowing the gates of exchange.
He added, “The parliament’s amendments do not constitute any obligation on the government to reduce expenditures, except in the case of transfers, which is unlikely because it affects the government’s plan to implement its ministerial program.”
Al-Saadi stressed the need for there to be an initial agreement between Parliament and the government regarding the amendments to block any step towards the appeal that previous governments have always followed with the budget amendments.
