MP Baqir al-Saadi expected on Saturday that the 2025 budget schedules would be finalized by the end of May.
Al-Saadi told Al-Maalouma, “Despite talk of the possibility of postponing the budget resolution until after the November 2025 elections, there are indications that the budget schedules may be finalized by the end of this month. Thus, after the end of the legislative session’s recess, the parliament will have the opportunity to finalize it or hold extraordinary sessions to discuss and vote on it.”
He added, “The existence of 2025 budget schedules is important to ensure project funding and provide financial support for local governments, enabling them to proceed with implementing service projects across all sectors.”
He pointed out that “the delay in finalizing these schedules and the Cabinet’s failure to send them to the Parliamentary Finance Committee for review before submitting them to the Parliament Presidency for a vote has negative repercussions on the funding of service projects in ministries and local governments, in addition to securing financial cover for the dues of many segments.”
It’s worth noting that several MPs and political forces have criticized the Cabinet’s delay in finalizing the 2025 budget schedule and submitting it to the House of Representatives’ Finance Committee for review before voting on it.
