Parliament awaits the arrival of the budget schedules.
After a period of waiting, the general budget schedules for the year (2025) return to the forefront of the government and the House of Representatives’ concerns, amid anticipation of its final path, with the announcement of the representatives’ readiness to hold an extraordinary session in order to end this file urgently.
Member of the Finance Committee, MP Jamal Koujar, expects the tables of the 2025 General Budget Law to reach the House of Representatives soon, noting that their arrival is linked to the government completing the process of officially preparing them. In a statement to Al-Sabah, Koujar confirmed the House's readiness to hold an extraordinary session immediately after the tables are officially received, with the aim of discussing and approving them quickly.
T he MP explained that the Finance Committee does not expect the session to witness a lengthy or in-depth discussion regarding the new budget schedules, given that they will not witness any fundamental changes compared to last year's budget, which was approved over three years without any significant amendments. He pointed out that this reflects a clear trend in Parliament towards facilitating the procedures for approving the schedules with the aim of ensuring the rapid activation of financial spending and the continued implementation of projects and services during the remaining period of the year.
Koger also pointed out that even if there are some minor amendments to the draft budget, the prevailing trend is to pass the law as it was received by the government, in order to preserve the stability of the financial and economic process, and avoid any delay that might negatively affect government performance and needs.
