The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mudhher Muhammad Salih, clarified on Saturday, the future fact of the 2022 budget and the path of the white paper.

”The white paper is an economic constitution, which respects economic life in the future, it must respect what is stated in the paper,” said Salih in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

He pointed out that "the white paper needs an appendix to the policies and for the future on how to implement it. It is a correct and reform path. For the first time, it becomes an understanding and belief that the economy is reformed on the basis of a document that we call the economic constitution,”

Salih ruled out that "the next government will cancel the white paper and reforms as it may amend and improve them or add other policies because they were established correctly,”

On the future fact of the 2022 budget, Salih explained, "The budget awaits the integration of the legislative body and its committees, and I think that the first project that the new Iraqi parliament will study is the budget,”

"The budget is now with the Ministry of Finance and is awaiting the formation of the legislative and executive bodies to send it to Parliament," he included, stressing that "the vision exists and the next government will study it as the next parliament will set its vision under the constitution,”
