Parliamentary Finance: The budget schedules will reach us within 24 hours

Information / Baghdad… Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Representative Mudar Al-Karawi, confirmed on Tuesday that the 2024 budget schedules will reach us within 24 hours.

Al-Karawi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, “The government sent the 2024 budget schedules to the House of Representatives, after which they will be sent to the Finance Committee after being signed by the acting Speaker of the House,” expecting that “the time will not exceed 24 hours for them to be before the members of the committee.”

He added, “It is too early to determine the size of the financial deficit and the complex items in it, but in any case there are many variables that will occur, especially with the presence of requests related to many segments whose rights we seek to guarantee in the 2024 budget tables.”

He pointed out that “the consensuses may accelerate the resolution of the vote on the 2024 budget tables within 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, we may need a longer period,” pointing out that “the budget, according to the readings, includes complex items that need to be studied and scrutinized before proceeding with it.”

The 2024 budget schedules are important in determining government spending mechanisms and financial rights for several segments, in addition to re-evaluating the financial deficit.
