W460

The Finance and Budget Committee approved Thursday a $150 million World Bank wheat loan, head of the Committee MP Ibrahim Kanaan said.

Kanaan said the committee will press the Cabinet for a unified exchange rate in order to approve the 2022 state budget.

A subcommittee had reviewed Wednesday an IMF-requested law that would lift bank secrecy in order to fight corruption and to detect and investigate financial crimes.

The Finance and Budget Committee will discuss the bank secrecy law on Monday, Kanaan said.
