The symposium aimed to discuss the general budget for 2021 and indicate its strengths and weaknesses.
The researchers recommended several very important recommendations including that the budget is very large and needs to reduce public spending and the government’s request to raise Basra’s share in the general budget as it is inconsistent with the province being the most producing crude oil, Finally employees’ salaries should not be affected, as they represent the largest percentage of local demand.
