Al-Arabawi said in a statement that Alsumaria News received, a copy of it, that "the first method is the revolution, and in order to achieve its goal, it should be general, in which the marshes, the mountains and the norias revolt against Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish corruption, indicating that the principles of (torch, their fire eat their wood) do not change anything.

The House of Representatives changes its position: We will vote on the borrowing bill after the election file is completed

Political blocs have retreated from their opposition to the approval of the borrowing law. While they were predicting that the legislation would topple the country in a swamp of debt within 6 months, they now say that they will go through the law after the election file is completed.

In turn, the Parliamentary Finance Committee says that the deficit bill will enable the government to borrow about (41) trillion dinars to secure the salaries of employees and retirees and social care for the remaining months of the current year.

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Sherwan Mirza Qadir, confirms, in a statement to Al-Mada, that “the fiscal deficit financing bill will be an alternative to the 2020 Federal Budget Law, which the government withdrew from Parliament a while ago,” explaining that “the finance law will regulate the process of paying employees’ salaries until the end The current year ”.

Kader adds that "the new financing law specified expenditures for three months at 57 trillion dinars and imports at 16 trillion dinars, which means that the deficit amounted to 41 trillion dinars," indicating that "the government wants to allow it to borrow (41) trillion dinars to fill the deficit in revenues for the three months of This year".

According to the Ministry of Finance, Iraq needs about seven trillion dinars per month to pay the salaries of 6.5 million employees, as well as retirees' dues and social care, and to secure government expenditures such as paying loans and other expenses.

The Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, had stated in a televised interview with his (Al-Mada) that “with the beginning of the month of September all our financial capabilities were exhausted, including borrowing amounts, which are 15 trillion dinars for internal borrowing and 5 billion for foreign ones,” indicating that “providing salaries depends on receiving the ministry. A positive attitude by the House of Representatives by approving the borrowing policy.

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee clarifies that "the finance law grants the Minister of Finance the powers of internal and external borrowing to bridge the deficit for the remaining three months of the current year," calling on the government to "expedite sending the economic reform paper to maximize non-oil imports."

The Minister of Finance pledged to prepare the reform paper while he was hosting the last in the House of Representatives some time ago, but he admitted that the reform program will not be easy. He said that "the economic reform program needs a long time because the economic situation in Iraq is going through a critical period due to the repercussions of previous cumulative economic policies."

The government had sent a bill to bridge the fiscal deficit to Parliament to allow it to borrow 41 trillion dinars for the last four months of this year in order to be able to secure the salaries of employees and retirees and social welfare.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee said, a week ago, that Iraq would be bankrupt within 6 months if the new borrowing law was approved, while Finance Minister Ali Abdul Amir Allawi pledged the release of employee salaries by the House of Representatives vote on the borrowing law.

For his part, Mazen Al-Faili, a member of the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee, explains that "the Minister of Finance stated earlier that his government is unable to pass the 2020 Budget Law to ensure that it includes a large deficit."

The circumstances of the financial crisis and the collapse of oil prices in global markets and the repercussions of the Corona virus pandemic prompted Mustafa Al-Kazemi's government to review the financial policy in Iraq in order to overcome the financial distress threatening the Iraqi economy.

Al-Faily clarifies in a statement to Al-Mada that "the finance law sent by the government regulates the process of paying salaries to employees, retirees and social welfare, as well as the payment of compensation to Kuwait and the dues of licensing rounds companies."
