A member of the parliamentary legal committee Kamel al-Zaidi, on Monday, that the possibility of passing the bill of the budget in 2018 in the meeting Wednesday will not exceed 50%, which means that pass it will be critical.

Al-Zaidi said in a press statement that it was hoped to meet the three presidencies before the meeting of the Council of Representatives scheduled on Wednesday as representing the three main components of the Iraqi society to resolve all points of contention on the budget to facilitate the passage, but the travel of Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jubouri and not set the date of meeting presidencies will postpone their meeting for the week Next '.

He added that there are other ways to attract the Kurds to pass the budget of 2018, but the ratio of the possibility of passing the budget in Wednesday's meeting does not exceed 50%, pointing out that it is a swing rate can not be relied upon.

It is worth mentioning that the draft budget 2018 faces objections from the Kurds and some Sunni blocs and deputy Shiites from oil-producing provinces, but the real dilemma is the demand of the Kurdish blocs to allocate 17% of the general budget of the region.
