Wednesday, a member of the House of Representatives, Taher Al-Battat, revealed the date for the 2023 budget to reach Parliament.
Al-Battat said in a press interview, “Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani pledged during the last meeting of the State Administration Alliance to send the budget to Parliament and complete it in full during the month of February.”
And he indicated that “approving the budget will not take long, especially with Parliament’s full readiness to receive it.”
Iraq did not approve the 2022 draft budget due to the political crisis that has gripped the country since the “early” elections were held on October 10, 2021.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani directed, in the first meeting of the Council, the Ministry of Finance, to send the draft budget law to the Ministerial Council for the Economy with “the possible speed for its study,” according to a statement of the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers.
The preparation of the draft budget is the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance, which in turn submits it to the Council of Ministers to enrich and vote on it, before it is referred to Parliament for enactment within a law.
