Today, Sunday, Prime Minister Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani announced the imminent approval of the fiscal budget for 2023.

Saleh said in a press statement followed by (Baghdad Today), that "the government's decision to reduce the official price prompted the reformulation and restructuring of the project again according to the new official price of the dollar."

He stressed that "the budget for the year 2023 will be completely different from previous budgets, in terms of service projects and financial allocations to complete important projects that have high completion rates, and the deficit in them will be estimated, and will be filled through surplus funds from the last fiscal year."

According to parliamentary leaks, the 2023 budget is expected to be the highest in the country's history, and included in its items the largest operational part, estimated at 80 trillion dinars, including government expenses and employee salaries, while the price of a barrel of oil in the budget was set at estimated figures not exceeding $ 70.
