    The International Monetary Fund announced on Saturday, (14th of current November 2015), the determination of the Council of Ministers amendment next year's budget in 2016, in line with the macroeconomic framework of the program watched by the Fund.

    But a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jabbar Abdul Khaliq, 'denies the government to withdraw the draft federal budget of the House of Representatives to make adjustments in line with the demands of the International Monetary Fund'.

    To confirm that the other member of the parliamentary finance committee, Acadr Mohammed, that 'the International Monetary Fund gave tips to the Iraqi government to increase financial support for electricity and fuel sectors, and the ration card, and demanded that spending commensurate with the size of their revenues'.

    MP says Mohammed, he said that 'the International Monetary Fund believes that Iraq might be able to overcome the financial crisis and pay off all its loans, if they reduced the size of the public spending', and adds that 'the IMF aims behind his reservations improve the performance of the Iraqi economy during the next 2016 '.
