Shafaq News / The Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, announced on Sunday that the salaries of employees will be paid directly in the event that the parliament approves the borrowing law, and a two-week deadline was set for the payment of the salaries of last October in the event that this law was not passed.

Allawi said in a press interview with the official Iraqi News Agency, which was followed by Shafaq News, that “the financial crisis that the country is going through is not a newborn today,” explaining that “reducing Iraq’s share of oil exports has an impact on revenues.”

He added that “options to maximize revenue quickly and in the short term in order to bridge the deficit are almost impossible.”

Allawi pointed out that “the current government faced the crisis without financial liquidity,” noting that “the salaries of employees for the month of October may be paid after two weeks if the deficit financing law has not passed.”

He continued, “If the House of Representatives votes on the deficit financing law, salaries will be released directly,” noting that “the amount contained in the deficit financing law, which is 41 trillion, will secure salaries until the first two months of next year.”

Allawi pointed out that “the mechanism of repayment of internal borrowing is done through the revenues generated from oil and the benefits resulting from hypothetically,” noting that “there is a strong trend to activate the collection of electricity through the installation of electronic meters.”

The Minister of Finance stated that “Iraq’s foreign debts range from 60 to 70 billion dollars, and the internal debts are estimated at 60 trillion dinars.”

He noted that “the 2021 budget will be presented this month and includes the implementation of the first phase of the white paper,” noting that “the price of a barrel of oil in the 2021 budget is $ 41.”

Allawi said that “the majority of employees are not covered by the proposed deduction, but rather includes allocations for specific groups,” noting that “the 2021 budget does not include functional degrees, but there is the possibility of investing degrees of deletion and creation.”

He pointed out that “there is a tendency to collect the retirement of workers in the private sector with the National Pension Authority with the unification of the years of retirement and deductions,” explaining that “Resolution 315 is difficult to implement in the absence of the budget law.”

Baghdad today – Baghdad 

The reporter of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Saffar, determined today, Saturday, the amount of the government’s fiscal deficit in one month, while voting on the borrowing law was likely during the current week.

Ahmed Al-Saffar said, in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that “Parliament read the loan bill for a second reading, after the meeting of the Finance Committee. We attended the report of the committee and it was presented during the session and we listened to the opinions of the representatives regarding it.”

Al-Saffar added, “The coming days will witness gathering information from the government and preparing the law in agreement with the government party,” noting that “the focus will be on the necessary expenditures only, including salaries, retirees, social care, ration card and medicine.”

He pointed out that “the government has a deficit of about 3 and a half trillion per month, and I expect the approval to be between 10 and 15 trillion, to secure the necessary expenditures until the end of this year, and pending the arrival of the 2021 project to the council during the current month, according to the Minister of Finance.”

He suggested the decision of the Finance Committee in Parliament, that “the vote on the deficit financing law will take place in the House of Representatives next Wednesday or Thursday, because the House of Representatives and Parliament are embarrassed about the issue of salaries.”

Today, Saturday (November 07, 2020), the Parliamentary Finance Committee in the House of Representatives expressed its opinion regarding the fiscal deficit financing law, which by passing it will provide the salaries of employees for the past month.

The committee stated in a statement received (Baghdad Today): “We are keen to pass the borrowing law in a manner that guarantees payment of the salaries of employees and retirees, the social protection network, and other expenditures, and the implementation of financial and economic reforms by the government.”

She added, “We have documented information and data that the amount of the borrowing is exaggerated, compared to the disbursement of previous months, as well as by hosting officials in the Ministry of Finance and knowing the data before it.”
