2013 budget considers provinces that lack natural resources

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Member of the Economic and Investment Parliamentary Committee MP Aziz al-Mayahi declared that “The 2013 budget will grant a percentage for provinces that suffer from shortage of natural resources.”

Mayahi reported in press statement received by IraqiNews.com on Thursday ”The Financial Parliamentary Committee has approved the suggestion, which was submitted by the Economic and Investment Parliamentary Committee, to add a percentage from the State budget to the provinces which suffer of shortage in natural resources,” noting that “The financial budget already includes a percentage for high population provinces.”

”This suggestion will be useful for provinces which have not any economic income, like Oil and tourism, to upgrade the living level in these provinces,” he added, stressing that ”Many provinces will make use of this amendment such as Diwaniya, Muthana and Salah-il-Din.” \
