While the popular and official circles are awaiting the approval of the general budget, and the announcement by more than one parliamentary source that there is a political agreement to pass it during the current month of May, the Ministry of Planning revealed that the budget for the current year includes new items that address the impact of changing the exchange rates of the US dollar on the Iraqi citizen.
The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Planning, Maher Hammad Johan, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "Many items have been included in the general budget for the current year in favor of the citizen, as a result of the damage incurred by him as a result of the change in exchange rates in the past months."
He added, "The response was made by adding these items according to human and food security, as well as the economic impact, the general situation of climate change, global economic inflation, and the expected recession."
Johan stressed that "if the new budget is approved in accordance with the items discussed, a large part of it represents a response to providing food and covering the requirements of the social protection network, in addition to supporting the private sector in specific areas." He explained that "serious discussions were conducted by the ministry with the participation of the Investment Authority Government agencies, the Federation of Industries and other concerned authorities, regarding exchange rates and their impact on the market and therefore on citizens,” pointing out that “the Ministry of Planning worked under the guidance of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani in this field.”
And regarding the budget and the date of its approval, a member of the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives, Aref Al-Hamami, told Al-Sabah: “The Finance Committee is working to put the final touches on completing the budget law, and then it will send it with the final report to the Presidency of Parliament, which will set the date for the voting session on it.” He stressed that "the budget will be voted on during the current month of May."
He explained, "The political blocs agreed to pass the budget during the current month, and there are technical procedures and demands for some governorates and committees to add or delete items, and all of this depends on the Finance Committee to complete these requests and vote on their paragraphs."
As for the member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karawi, he stated that “there are a number of points in the budget that were not discussed by the Finance Committee, including what is related to the share of the governorates and the region,” noting that “after completing the discussion and voting on all budget items, it will be submitted to the House of Representatives, if The issue has been resolved politically."
Al-Karawi expected that "the budget law will be submitted to the Presidency of the House of Representatives this week," noting that "the most prominent amendments made to the budget relate to increasing non-oil revenues and regulating the work of collecting services provided such as electricity and the municipality, the issue of managing banks, automating government departments, and others."
In turn, committee member Youssef Al-Kalabi said: "The Finance Committee has completed most of the articles of the general financial budget." He added that "what remains of the budget items are approximately three paragraphs related to the Kurdistan region," noting that "these paragraphs were left to the political blocs."
Al-Kalabi indicated that "the House of Representatives will vote on the budget law within a week as a maximum," explaining that "the budget will be read and voted on in two sessions, due to the large number of its articles and items."
