Cougar said, in an interview with the official newspaper, followed by Al-Maalouma, that “the government is supposed to send this year’s budget to Parliament with all its financial paragraphs because they are subject to change, as some of them include sums allocated to projects that have been fully implemented and completed or partially implemented, in addition to… Other paragraphs, the goal is to study them and make changes, if any.”
He added: “We still do not know what the current year’s budget contains, even though the operating budget has increased significantly from last year’s budget.”
He pointed out that “the 2024-2025 budget schedules are supposed to change when it is sent to Parliament, as well as the salary schedules, because there are those who will be retired and there are promotions and bonuses.”
He continued: “We do not know the government’s expectations for the oil price on which the budget will be based, and the release of raises and allowances in the budget depends on the government’s assessment of resources and the economic situation.”
Cougar pointed out that “the issue of the region’s salaries will be resolved in this budget, and it is among the paragraphs that do not contain numbers, but rather texts, and they will be changed.”
