Parliament to read next year federal budget Tuesday
1/15/2012 4:47 PM


BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Next Tuesday's parliamentary session will see the first and second readings of 21 draft laws, including the second reading of the federal budget of 2012, which has been postponed on multiple occasions due to al-Iraqiya Bloc's boycott of parliament sessions, a parliamentary media source reported today.



The sources told Aswat al-Iraq that the government submitted the budget after decreasing it to 115 trillion Iraqi dinars, with reasonable deficit.



The previous draft law of the budget of 2012 allocated 131 trillion Iraqi dinars (112 billion dollars) as a federal budget, with an increase of 36 percent from the previous year, with a deficit of 20 billion dollars.

Thank you for this great post.

Your welcome Helen, just trying to help out a lil bit

They already said they read it the second time if im not mistaken, this would be the third reading.

Sadly, I doubt they will have a quorum. Hopefully we wont have to wait till after the national conference but that's only a few weeks out.
