The office said in a statement today that the budget re-evaluation came after experts and legal and financial advisors examined and scrutinized it in detail to diagnose the most important constitutional, legal and financial violations of some of the articles, items or paragraphs that need to be addressed before ratification.

An adviser in the office of Masoum told Shafak News, earlier in the day that the Iraqi president broke dozens of legal and constitutional violations in the budget items, and decided to return them to parliament for amendment.

The Iraqi parliament approved on the third of this month the final version of the draft federal budget for the year 2018, after achieving a quorum by 176 votes out of 328 deputies.

And ratified the Iraqi parliament on a budget worth 88.5 billion dollars for the year 2018, despite boycotting Kurdish parliamentarians to vote in protest against the reduction of financial allocations for the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

The budget was based on oil exports expected to reach 3.9 million barrels per day, producing Kurdistan Region 250 thousand barrels per day of them. The budget set the reference price of the barrel at $ 46.

The Iraqi budget plan expected revenue to reach 77.5 billion dollars, while the projected deficit was estimated at 10.6 billion dollars with 20.8 billion dollars allocated for investments.

It was supposed to pass the Iraqi budget before the beginning of 2018, but several key points of disagreement between the central government on the one hand and Sunni Arabs, and Arab Shiites and Kurds on the other prevented the draft budget on time.

It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, welcomed earlier in the day the decision of President Fuad Masum to return the financial budget for the current year to the House of Representatives and not to ratify it.
