The elected representatives of the National People’s Assembly (APN) continued, this Tuesday morning, the debates on the 2026 finance bill (PLF) for the third consecutive day. These debates were followed, in the afternoon, by interventions by the presidents of the parliamentary groups, then by responses from the Minister of Finance, Abdelkrim Bouzred, to the questions and concerns of the deputies.
During the debates, several questions were raised by the deputies, who insisted on strengthening financial control and digitalization. Thus, the elected interventions of the Lower House of Parliament focused on financial and economic issues, in particular the gap between planned revenues and expenditures included in the finance bill, as well as the increase in the public debt ceiling, considering that this situation represents a real challenge which will inevitably have repercussions on the daily lives of citizens.
Some of them insisted on the need to explain “the allocation of 12% of the budget to unforeseen expenses”, calling for them to be subject to parliamentary control in order to guarantee their appropriate use. Criticizing the weakness of parliamentary control over the execution of public expenditure, due in particular to the delay in the transmission of financial documents, several speakers proposed the creation of a digital platform allowing deputies to periodically monitor the execution of the budget.
Others pointed out the fact that public spending must translate into tangible improvements in the lives of citizens, particularly in the sectors of housing, transport and education, while mentioning local problems linked to the regularization of land in certain wilayas.
The positive aspects contained in the bill, such as the credits allocated to the construction of seawater desalination stations and the financing of projects promoting sustainable local development, were highlighted by the elected officials, who also paid tribute to the efforts of the President of the Republic to maintain major economic balances and the continuation of the policy of support and social transfers, despite global economic challenges. This, in addition to having devoted significant resources to promoting productive investment in the agriculture and services sectors.
The need to accelerate the digitalization of the tax sector was further highlighted by elected representatives of the Lower House of Parliament, with a view to improving tax collection, increasing revenues and reducing the deficit while combating tax evasion.
