The meeting of the finance committee in Parliament, started this Monday, September 1, 2025, ended yesterday, in the middle of the day in a tense climate. And this, despite the fact that the parliamentary session has not yet officially startedreports Mosaic FM.
The vice-president of the commission, Issam Chouchane, denounced what he describes as “violation of the law” by the Ministry of Finance. In question: the absence of transmission to deputies of the hypotheses and general orientations necessary for the preparation of the finance bill for 2026.
Faced with this situation, the members of the commission demanded the holding of an urgent meeting of the assembly office as well as the sending of official correspondence to the Ministry of Finance in order to obtain the required clarifications.
Chouchane also specified that “the deputies decided not to start the 2026 budget examination as long as an meeting with the Minister of Finance did not take place”, invoking the need to preserve the principles of the rule of law and the institutions.
The finance law, adopted each year by Parliament, constitutes a central tool for economic and budgetary planning. It defines state revenues and expenditure for the coming year, sets the main priorities of economic and social policy, and must meet strict legal deadlines to guarantee transparency and predictability of public finances.
Delays or breaches in the transmission of budgetary assumptions compromise not only the parliamentary examination, but are also likely to weaken the confidence of economic and social actors.
