'The government is ready to submit the project'

Technical Adviser to the Prime Minister expects the price of a barrel of oil in the 2022 budget

2022.05.07 - 20:50

 

  

Baghdad - people   

Haitham al-Jubouri, technical advisor to the Prime Minister, expected, on Saturday, the adoption of the price of a barrel of oil in the 2022 budget between 60 to 70 dollars a barrel, while indicating that the "safe price" will be adopted, not the current prices based on the crisis of the Russian-Ukrainian war and other global crises.  

  

  

Al-Jubouri said in a statement to the official channel, followed by "Nas" (April 7, 2022), that "the government and parliament do not have the right to waive the decision of the Federal Court regarding the management of the region's wealth, and the latter must implement it and not discuss its merits or application or not."  

  

He added that "the budget will not be a solution to the differences between Baghdad and the region, because its paragraphs are not fully applied, and the budget cannot be legislated without implementing the decision of the Federal Court or enacting a law in this regard (the region's oil)."  

  

And he added, "If the parliament votes to authorize the government to send the budget, the latter is ready, especially since the finances have finished their work."  

  

And he indicated that "Finance and the Council of Ministers will choose the safe price of oil in the budget, and I expect that the price of 60 to 70 dollars will be adopted if the sale is at 100 dollars."  

  

He stressed that "in the event that the Ministry of Finance finalizes the draft and agrees with the Ministry of Planning, the Council of Ministers is ready if Parliament votes to authorize the current government to submit the budget law."  

  

The Head of the Legal Committee in the House of Representatives, MP Muhammad Anouz, announced, earlier, that work is currently being done to issue a parliamentary resolution obligating the government to submit the budget, while noting that the constitution did not prevent the caretaker government from sending bills to Parliament.  

  

Anouz told the official newspaper, and "Nass" (April 28, 2022), that "the political blockage led to the delay in approving the budget and the disruption of bills, which cast a shadow on the economic situation of the country and the living reality of citizens."    

He pointed out that "there are about 120 laws that have been transferred from the previous parliamentary session to this session, some of which affect the economic aspect."

{Political: Al Furat News} The parliament member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Majid Shankali, ruled out approving a federal financial budget for 2022.

Shankali said in a press statement: "All Iraqi budgets are failing because they are consumer and have one resource, which is oil."

He added, "The budget needs to issue a parliamentary decision to send it from the current government, and the legislative term ends on June 9, after which a legislative holiday will last for a month, and then the budget will be for only three months, which is useless."

Shankali indicated that "the emergency support law is not a small amount, especially since it included the majority of the funds that the citizen needs, and we have to build a real budget for 2023 that is developmental and investment and completely different from previous years."

{Local: Al Furat News} Legal expert Mosaddeq Adel clarified, on Monday, that the House of Representatives can vote on a parliamentary resolution authorizing the government to send the draft general budget law.

Adel said in a press interview with {Euphrates News} that "the House of Representatives can vote on a parliamentary resolution authorizing the government to send the draft general budget law."

He added, "The authorization is for the budget only, and it is not permissible for a food security law or any other law." 

Yesterday, the Federal Supreme Court decided to cancel the draft law on emergency support for food security and development, based on a lawsuit filed by Representative Basem Khashan.
According to documents obtained by {Euphrates News}, the court issued a ruling to cancel the Food Security Law sent by the Council of Ministers to the House of Representatives.
Adviser to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, announced that the court’s decision regarding the powers of the caretaker government prevents it from sending the draft financial budget law for 2022 to Parliament.
Saleh told Al Furat News: "There is no alternative for us except by applying the Financial Management Law 1/12 until the legislation of the new budget, which appears to be linked to the formation of a new government, and the current government cannot send the budget even if Parliament requests that because the court's decision has suspended any legislation currently."

Hymns to the law of financial management

Tuesday 24 May 2022 49

 

 Mohamed Sharif Abu Maysam 

 

Article 13 Second of the Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019, in the event of delay in approving the budget, gives the government the right to spend on ongoing investment projects, based on the completed work or the actual preparation of the project, after ensuring the availability of cash and which have allocations within the draft budget law for the year suffix. And in a third of the same article, the law considered (the final financial statements actually disbursed as a basis for the financial statements for the year, in which the budget was not approved) as soon as they were submitted to the House of Representatives for the purpose of approval, as well as the right to exchange at a ratio of 1/12 or less of the total actual expenditures for the current expenditures for the year Previous financial under Article 13 first and until the approval of the federal general budget. 

Law No. 6 of 2019 was published in the Iraqi Gazette and became effective in August of 2019, after working for sixteen years with the Financial Management and Public Debt Law No. 95 of 2004 whose provisions were heavily foreclosed by civil governor Paul Bremer, who did not grant the right to exchange Except for 1/12 of the value of current expenditures for the past year only, in the event that the general budget law is not passed. This hindered for years all sincere attempts to implement projects due to the political tensions that prevented the enactment of the budget law in 2014, and for about four or five months of each year, the legislation of the annual budget law was obstructed, in light of repeated calls for the enactment of a new law. 

And when Law No. 6 of 2019 was enacted, those concerned about financial exchange breathed a sigh of relief, and it was considered a visionary gain later on the tracks of events during which we witnessed the repercussions of the Corona pandemic, which led to a financial deficit caused by low oil prices. It was truly a timely treatment to support government performance. Today, we are witnessing a remarkable rise in oil prices as a result of the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, and a financial accumulation that can be invested in financing ongoing investment projects, based on the completed work excuses or the actual preparation of the project, while the current government has the right to present the final financial statements actually disbursed, as a basis for the financial statements For the current year in which the budget has not been approved, as soon as it is submitted to the House of Representatives (as data and not as a law) for the purpose of approving it, the government has the right to spend according to these data, as well as the right to exchange at a ratio of 1/12 or less of the total actual expenditures for current expenditures for the fiscal year

A bit bizarre, but this is part & parcel for their mindset, isn't it.

Perhaps they have a special " Standings of the Levels of the Poor "

Such as POOR all the way down to Scraping Meals From Rubbish Bin Poor.

Then what are you waiting for? The only solution is just rv'ing your currency, so the price of all goods won't be so pricey. Therefore, ordinary iraqi citizens can afford to buy goods at affordable price and finally, the rate of unemployment will decrease.
