The Finance and Budget Parliamentary Committee passed and sent the 2022 budget to the Parliament general assembly, despite not agreeing on all points, committee chair MP Ibrahim Kanaan said. The budget could either be passed in its current form by the legislature or abandoned. The committee had received the budget after Cabinet approved it in February, with discussions recently culminating after fiscal income and expense disclosure deadlines were issued to the Finance Ministry and committee members expressed disagreement over certain items.
