The College of Administration and Economics at the University of Basrah held a scientific symposium entitled "The General Budget for 2023 in Iraq between the contradictions of reform and waste of resources"
The symposium aims to demonstrate the importance of financial resources and how to use them optimally and not waste them under political pressures in a way that leads to the reform and development of the national economy.
The symposium concluded that the chronic problem in public budgets in Iraq is their complete dependence on oil revenues, which accounted for 87.1% of public revenues for this year. As for the waste, it is caused by employment policies, as the cost of the new degrees for this year amounted to 13.9 trillion dinars.
