Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad presented the administration's draft of the national budget bill for Iranian calendar year 1391, which starts on March 20, to the Majlis on Feb.1.
The proposed national budget amounts to about 5.1 quadrillion rials (approximately $416 billion). The national budget for the previous year envisaged about 5.39 quadrillion rials of expenditures.
The administration's draft national budget plan also allocates more funds for development, scientific research, and health projects.
