{Economic: Al Furat News} The Parliamentary Finance Committee suggested that the financial budget for the year 2021 will be spent as salaries and operating expenses only.

Committee member Ikhlas al-Dulaimi said in a press statement, "There may be no implementation of the budget, except for the operational budget as salaries for employees, according to the current conditions that the country is going through."

And she indicated, "4 trillion dinars have been allocated to the governorates as a budget for the development of regions and investment projects. How will these projects be accomplished by the governorates and the rest of the fiscal year's life is 5 months or less?"

Al-Dulaimi explained, "The issue had major problems, which is the delay in the budget in terms of legislation and implementation, and that the citizen paid the price."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee had considered that the country’s general budget for 2021, with all its numbers, and in practice, is only a half-year budget, and accordingly it should have been reduced, especially since five months have passed since the current month of June.
