توظيف الموازنة العامة لسنة 2019 في تحقيق التنمية المستدامة في العراق

Abstract EN

The public budget is on the same time an art and a science.

As an accountable science it seeks balance between public income and public expenditure for an accountable year.

And as an accountable art it seeks to achieve economic balance by distributing equitable income in order to reach sustainable development.

This is the optimal use of all natural and human resources to address scarcity of natural resources facing the increase need of human resources by spending on education, health, environment, housing, agriculture and industry to achieve social justice for the current generation and future generations.

Since the first budget in Iraq on 1921 an accounting budget, is balancing the sections and items has been adopted and since the public budget of 2004 public, expenditure has been increased and the deficit has become a chronic deficit on successive budgets without any achieving tangible results in terms of economic growth.

Rather, the government is addressing the external debt deficit, which is putting a heavy burden on servicing the debt on the present generation and the next generation.

To avoid long recession and prompt economic cycle, the government should move towards a zero budget in order to prepare a budget for programs and performance through the implementation of the five-year development plan for the years 2018-2022 and implementation of the government's program to reduce capital expenditure and seek to increase the investment budget to equalize the capital budget for the implemention of sustainability development and social justice in its three pillars namely economic development, social development and environmental protection and keep Iraq away from vicious circle of resolving the debt by the debt.
