Information / Baghdad..
MP Jamal Koujar, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, said on Monday that the 2025 budget schedules are likely to reach the House of Representatives soon, indicating that the Ministry of Finance and the government have violated the Financial Management Law by delaying the budget.
“According to the information we received from the Iraqi government, it intends to send the 2025 budget schedules within the next few days,” Kocher told Al-Maalouma News Agency.
He added that “the main reason behind the delay in sending the 2025 budget tables is to make changes to the tables after the House of Representatives voted to amend paragraph (12A, second) of the Triennial Budget Law (23, 24, 25, 20) related to raising the costs of producing and transporting a barrel of the region’s oil from (6) dollars to (16) dollars,” while he explained that this matter does not justify the government’s period of delay, but it is in violation of the Financial Management Law.
It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister’s Financial Advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said in a previous statement to / Al-Maalouma / that Article 77/Second of the Federal General Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, which regulates the preparation of the three-year budget, stipulates that the government sends the budget tables for the years 2024 and 2025 to the House of Representatives for approval before the end of the previous fiscal year.
