He explained, “The government is preparing these amendments, which will include {the cost of crude oil production, an increase in the allocations of the rations of the ration card, an increase in the number of people covered by social protection, as well as an increase in the allocations of the purchase of wheat and milk crops} and other things and decisions issued by the Council of Ministers that need funding that will be included in a financial schedule.”


Al-Kadhimi added, “In general, the highest ceiling of the budget will remain {199} trillion dinars, and these amendments will be referred to the House of Representatives and considered by the Parliamentary Finance Committee and then approved under the dome of Parliament without being exposed to the {78} items within the tripartite budget.”
