    A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ikhlas Al-Dulaimi, confirmed on Monday, the need to host the Finance Minister Ali Allawi again in Parliament regarding the amounts required for the draft law on Emergency Support for Food Security and Development, while confirming the existence of a preliminary agreement to reduce it to 23 trillion IQD.
     
    "The committee continues to discuss the Emergency Support Law for Food Security and Development and some preliminary matters have been completed," Al-Dulaimi said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency – INA, explaining that "there is a preliminary agreement between the members of the committee to reduce the total amount from 25 trillion to 23 trillion, and this It's not a final agreement,”.
     
    She pointed out that the law will allocate funds to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as social welfare, but the numbers of those allocations have not yet been written, and there is an agreement among the members of the committee to support them.

    "The hosting are ongoing, including setting a second date to host the Minister of Finance, because there are some questions that we need the minister's answers to know the vision of the Ministry of Finance about some of the amounts specified in the law and what are the motives that the ministry set in the law," she included.
