Parliament or government? Who is responsible for amending the 2024 budget law?
Economy News - Baghdad
Today, Thursday, the Finance Committee clarified the powers of the federal government and the role of the House of Representatives in the current year's budget.
A member of the parliamentary finance committee, Mustafa al-Karawi, said in an interview with "Economy News" that "amending the federal budget law or not is related to the government and the extent of its need to make amendments to some sections and items according to the need and requirements."
He added that "the House of Representatives obligated the Council of Ministers, in accordance with Article 77 II of the Constitution, to send tables related to its forecasts of revenues and the actual volume of spending for 2024, while the rest of the budget items are supposed to be in force."
"If the government requests the amendment of some items, the House of Representatives will discuss them and work to reformulate them in a way that suits the government program and the requirements of the Council," the finance committee member said.
