Parliamentary Finance nears end of budget discussions

Baghdad – NAS  

The Finance Committee in the House of Representatives is close to concluding discussions on the general budget paragraphs, as it has come a long way by hosting the relevant ministries and institutions, stressing its efforts to increase the allocations for the development of regions in the governorates within the draft budget.

The second vice president of the Finance Committee, Ikhlas Al-Dulaimi, said in an interview with the official newspaper “Nas”, (May 13, 2023), that “the budget discussions have reached advanced stages, after the committee hosted most of the ministries and institutions, of which only a few remain.”  

She pointed out that “the committee reached a vision that it is very difficult to reduce the volume of spending in it, as we found real spending needed by the state because of the obligations or amounts of money it incurred due to exceptional circumstances, demonstrations and other major problems, in addition to the fact that the launch of appointments added great financial burdens on it.”  

She explained that “the size of the budget reached 198 trillion dinars, and it is very difficult to reduce it, but we are trying to address the imbalance of the deficit by maximizing state revenues and developing texts that achieve collection, as our non-oil revenues are not at the level of ambition, and we need to support and organize revenues to match oil revenues or at least be at a reasonable percentage in the budget and not this very small percentage.”  

Al-Dulaimi added that “the financial committee’s orientation towards supporting the families of martyrs because their budgets are few and do not live up to ambition, especially those who were martyred in recent years during the war with (ISIS) to the present time,” and while referring to the meeting of the (State Administration Coalition), which set May 17 as a preliminary date for voting on the budget, she stressed that “the committee will proceed with approving the budget as soon as possible because the Iraqi street is waiting for the opening of the door for spending to change the difficult living conditions it is going through.”  

For his part, a member of the Finance Committee, Mueen Al-Kazemi, explained in a statement to the same newspaper, “The committee appreciates the needs of the governorates, and in appreciation of the good performance of some governors, there is a trend to increase the development of the regions from 2 trillion and 500 million to 4 trillion dinars, taking into account that the emergency support budget was disbursed to the governorates at the beginning of this year 2023 and not much of it has been spent so far.”  

“The governors have nearly 8 trillion dinars, distributed and not used so far, in addition to the remaining amounts of previous years, so the provinces have a great opportunity to complete projects and the funds will not remain rounded,” he said.
