On Wednesday, the reporter of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Saffar, confirmed that there is a difference of views among the committee members regarding whether to pass a law on financing the fiscal deficit or not, while he suggested reducing borrowing money to the very necessary chapters.

Al-Saffar said, "There is a difference of viewpoints among the members of the Finance Committee regarding whether or not to pass the borrowing law. There are those who support the law and there are those who reject it completely, and a third party deals in moderation, given that the government is really in a financial crisis in need of funds to cover the necessary expenses," indicating "The law has seen it and the amount required therein, which is more than 41 trillion, is a large sum, as it is intended for a mini-budget and not for borrowing in order to cover basic expenses."
