On August 2, the Government of National Union (GUN) asked the House of Representatives (CoR) to postpone the examination of a bill on the budget, before presenting the next day a new bill increased to 111 Md LYD, including 44 billion LYD for salaries, 19 billion LYD for operating expenses, 20 for capital expenditure, 23 billion LYD for grants and 6 billion LYD for emergency expenditure.
