Parliamentary Finance to Nina: Parliament will first approve the amendment to the budget law, then its schedules

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed that the Council of Representatives will first approve the draft amendment to the General Budget Law, followed by the approval of the budget schedules later.

Member of the committee, MP Moeen Al-Kazemi, stated to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / that “the draft amendment to the General Budget Law relates to resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region fields at a cost of $ 16 per barrel instead of $ 6, and this is within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Oil and the Prime Minister’s advisors,” noting that “the Ministry of Finance is not aware of the technical details related to this.”

He explained that “the Finance Committee sought to mature and clarify the feasibility of the draft amendment to the law to the representatives, in order to pass the amendment to the text of Article 12, Second C of the General Budget Law.”

He added, “The texts of the three-year budget 2023-2024-2025 are completely fixed except for the text that the government submitted an amendment to, and therefore the government decided to wait for the House of Representatives to ratify Article 12, Second C, to enable it to calculate the cost required to extract and transport oil from the fields of the Kurdistan Region,” indicating that “the House of Representatives will first ratify the draft amendment to the General Budget Law and then proceed to ratify the budget tables later.”

The House of Representatives is scheduled to hold its regular session this afternoon, Sunday, and its agenda includes voting on the draft first amendment to the Federal General Budget Law for the fiscal years 2023-2024-2025 No. 13 of 2023. link
