MP Maher Ketari, a member of the parliamentary Finance Committee, revealed in a statement to Tunisienumerique that the total number of legislative proposals submitted by deputies after the adoption of the amended 2026 Finance Bill has reached 146 proposals.

Minister of Finance requests 24 hours for review
Maher Ketari explained that the Minister of Finance, Mishkat Salama Khaldi, has requested 24 hours to examine the proposed articles and assess their impact on the State’s financial balance.

Consolidating similar articles under study
The Finance Committee member added that efforts are underway to combine similar articles to streamline the review process.
“We have asked bloc leaders to work on consolidating similar proposals… in addition to studying the financial implications of these amendments and evaluating the possibility of postponing some of them to next year,” he said.
Ketari recalled that several articles already adopted have significant financial repercussions, which makes it essential to thoroughly assess the new proposals to safeguard the country’s financial stability.
