Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil has sent memos to the ministries asking them to start preparing for the 2020 state budget.
The draft for the 2020 budget is supposed to be devised next month.
“Based on the deficit reduction in the 2019 budget, it is normally expected to reach a lower deficit” in the 2020 budget, Khalil told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Wednesday.
The 2019 state budget was referred to Parliament after 19 haggling sessions in which the Cabinet managed to lower the deficit to 7.59%.

This guy was so happy to be the center of attention for 20 sessions, that he is having withdrawal pains, and wants to repeat the experience...
But really, anyone saw the budget? Ridiculous changes. 20 sessions loss of time. Only change is increasing tarriffs by 2%. All the rest is empty pistachios. :-)
