17:44 - 27/01/2020


The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Monday, that the House of Representatives will receive the federal budget bill for 2020 from the Council of Ministers next April.

Member of the Committee, Siham Al-Aqili, said in a statement to "Information", that "the cabinet will send the federal budget bill for the year 2020 to the House of Representatives beginning of next April", pointing out that "sending the budget is dependent on resolving the position of prime minister during the coming days."

She added that "resolving the position of prime minister during these days and forming the new government within one month will require the cabinet to send the budget early next April," indicating that "the draft budget law is complete and will be sent immediately to the parliament after the formation of the new government."

It showed that "the budget deficit may reach 48 trillion Iraqi dinars in the operational budget, according to preliminary data."

And the deputy of the Al-Hikma stream, Asaad Al-Morshedy, affirmed earlier that the parliament had not succeeded in finding a legal formula that would allow the caretaker government to send the federal budget bill for the year 2020 to the parliament.
