Finance Committee to Resume Meetings Next Wednesday

The Finance and Budget Committee held a session chaired by MP Ibrahim Kanaan, with the attendance of the Minister of Finance in the caretaker government, Youssef Khalil. It began with a "moment of silence in mourning for the victims in the south" before continuing the study of the 2024 Budget draft. The committee concluded its session on Monday and canceled several articles that were "hastily included" in the 2024 Budget. It started discussing the articles related to the financial stamp duty and income tax and will resume its meetings next Wednesday, with several ministers present to address their proposals regarding increases in some newly introduced fees, which the committee had previously suspended.
