Tohme warned against "the foreign borrowing policy and its burdensome sovereign and economic effects, especially since many of the projects proposed to allocate these loans to them are not a priority in the government investment approach. What supports our rejection of these loans is that allocations of local investment projects amount to 24 trillion dinars, which are sufficient amounts to cover development investment projects."

He added that "what has been allocated in the 2021 budget to repay the debt with its installments and interest exceeds (9) trillion dinars, which constitutes 10% of the estimates of total operational expenditures," considering that "the continuation of external borrowing will double annually the amounts paid to pay the installments and interest in an accumulative and unjustified manner."
