The MP for the State of Law Coalition, Thaer Mukheif, confirmed that: "The budget can be approved within two days if a single condition is met."

Mukheif said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / that: "In the event that the discussions among the political blocs on the budget take place naturally and professionally away from the bloc demands, and to stop those demands, the budget can be approved within two days only, but it is these demands and disagreements that delayed approving the budget until now.

He explained that: "So far, there are disagreements, demands, financial and non-financial (political) problems, and means of pressure from one party against another related to the budget of the political blocs."

He pointed out: "The parliament, in any case, is determined to approve the budget before going to the legislative recess," stressing: "The speed of approving the budget depends on the political consensus among the blocs."
