Saleh: The year of government formation is devoid of the annual budget
Every time, after any elections, Iraq enters a phase called negotiations, and this is what the political forces used to do after 2003.
The negotiation stage continues for several months, which may even penetrate the Iraqi constitutional timings, due to differences and the formation of the largest bloc and the selection of the three presidencies.
Economists expected that the current year will pass without a budget, similar to the years 2014 and 2020, amid expectations that the formation of the new government will be delayed, which will lead the government to rely on a ratio of 12/1 to facilitate financial matters, especially in the period of “conducting business.”
In turn, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed in a statement that he followed (the Iraqi Media News Agency / INA) that the legislation of the budget law for the year 2022 depends on the date of the formation of the government and the upcoming parliament in all cases.
According to political analysts, the formation of the new government will be much delayed because of the problems that the political process will go through in the coming days, as there will be disputes between the various political parties seeking to obtain the three presidencies.
And after the coordination framework objected to the outcomes of the first session of the House of Representatives and submitted an appeal to the Federal Court, which in turn issued its decision to temporarily suspend the work of the parliament’s presidency, which will lead to a delay in resolving the new government.
In this context, the economic expert, Hassan Al-Rubaie, said that the political aspect is still ambiguous and the current developments in the formation of the government are unknown, especially after the temporary suspension of the presidency of the parliament by the Federal Court, noting that the approval of the 2022 budget will depend on the course of the current political process and the matter is not linked at all to any economic file.
