Parliamentary Finance reveals the reasons for the delay in launching the 2023 budget
10/12/2023
The Parliamentary Finance Committee explained the reasons for the delay in launching the 2023 budget, despite two months having passed since the publication of instructions for its implementation and its arrival to the ministries and governorates.
Committee member Moeen Al-Kadhimi said that last week, the Minister of Planning and the governors were hosted to discuss the delay in launching budget funding and distributing it to the ministries.
He added that the Federal Ministry of Finance was supposed to begin releasing the budget to the ministries during the next week, indicating that the ministry does not have sufficient financial liquidity to cover the launch of the budget.
He pointed out that there is a problem facing the ministry due to problems related to purchasing the dollar and the fluctuation of the exchange rate, pointing out that the Iraqi currency is stored in homes and citizens are afraid of the fluctuation of the exchange rate.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, announced last September that the bank would dispense with “foreign transfers” next year, while deciding to limit internal commercial transactions to dinars instead of the US dollar, with the exception of those delivered to travelers.
It is noteworthy that the Central Bank recently adopted a new mechanism for auctioning foreign currency, in accordance with the requirements and conditions of the Federal Bank, in order to track the dollar and stop attempts to smuggle the currency abroad. LINK
