dijlahpoint - The First Deputy Head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Masari, confirmed that the federal budget bill has not yet been presented to the House of Representatives, attributing the delay to the re-allocation of financial provisions for newly established ministries within the new government structure.

Al-Masari indicated that passing the bill and referring it to parliament depends on completing governmental discussions and officially voting on it in the Council of Ministers, amid expectations that these steps will be accomplished in the coming period to discuss expenditure items and proposed financial estimates.
