- Parliamentary budget office
Members of parliament have proposed establishing an independent Parliamentary Budget Office to provide unbiased budget analysis, with a 2025 private member's bill introduced but opposed by the Ministry of Finance. The bill was referred to a committee for review, but no amended draft has been presented for the 2026-27 budget debate. Examples of existing parliamentary budget offices in countries like Australia, Canada, and Afghanistan are cited.
