The source added that after MPs read the general draft
budget bill, it will be transferred to the
Finance Committee.
The budget speech usually takes place in late November or
early December, but due to the transport strike and other circumstances, it was
delayed to the beginning of 2023.
The Finance Committee usually takes up to one month to
deliberate the general draft budget bill, meaning that the likely date for deputies
to discuss the budget under the Dome is in February.
Article 113 of the Constitution stipulates that "If it
is not possible to enact the
General Budget Law before the beginning of the new
financial year, expenditures shall continue by monthly appropriations at the
rate of 1/12th of each month of the previous year's budget".
