need to follow sound frameworks that can limit economic downturns and unexpected shocks that the general budget may be exposed to, especially with regard to calculating the price of a barrel of oil and the planned deficit,
stressing the possibility of achieving these factors through what they described as "Fiscal discipline" that can distance the budget from economic crises and lead to achieving a number of positive factors, including enhancing economic growth, curbing the fiscal deficit and achieving a budget surplus.

Dr. Imad Al-Ani, a specialist in economic affairs, believes that
