Former member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Abdul Hadi Mohan, confirmed on Thursday that the government has the ability and capacity to secure salaries for two months, while ruling out the possibility of the government stopping the payment of employee salaries despite the current challenges. Mohan told Al-Maalomah, “The federal budget has been significantly delayed and has not yet been enacted despite the need for it. This delay is linked to the time it took political parties to form the new government and the problems within the cabinet.”
He added, “Recently, the Ministry of Finance, which represents the most important aspect of the federal budget, especially at this critical time, has been finalized, along with other ministries, to allow the Prime Minister to complete the budget.”
He explained, “There are significant challenges facing the current government, especially given the current situation in the region. However, Iraq has the capacity to secure salaries for the next two months, and it is unlikely that there will be any interruption in salary payments in the coming period.”
