Baghdad The Parliamentary Finance Committee expressed its astonishment at the appeal submitted by the government in some paragraphs of the budget that will deprive the oil-producing governorates of their petrodollar allocations, after the Finance Committee added a paragraph in the budget that guarantees the rights of these governorates.

The committee, according to a parliamentary statement, also expressed its astonishment at the government’s rejection of the parliament’s decision to increase the purchase prices of wheat, barley and rye crops from farmers, as the Finance Committee included this paragraph in the budget in support of farmers and the advancement of the agricultural sector.
