MP Thaer Makhif confirmed on Friday that the 2025 budget schedules will not be finalized during the current year, warning of the serious repercussions of delaying it on ministries and government institutions.
In an interview with Al-Maalouma, Makhif said, “The 2025 budget tables were expected to be decided in February or March, but the government did not send the tables to the House of Representatives for review by the Finance Committee before submitting them for a vote, causing a delay that negatively impacted ministries, agencies, and local governments.”
He added that “the absence of schedules has delayed the resolution of project financing issues and the coverage of expenses and financial dues, noting that with the approaching elections in November, sending the schedules to Parliament has become difficult.”
He added, “The file may be postponed to the next government, which means a delay of several months before the budget is finally decided, which will exacerbate financial problems, especially with operating expenses rising to high levels.”
