The Economic Affairs Observatory “Eco Iraq” announced on Wednesday that the expenditures of the Presidency of the Republic during the year 2025 amounted to about 143 million dinars per day, calling on the House of Representatives to legislate laws that determine the salaries and expenditures of the three presidencies.
The observatory said in a press statement, which was received by Shafaq News Agency, that the total expenditures of the Presidency of the Republic during the year 2025 amounted to 52,366,674,988 dinars, which is equivalent to 143 million and 470 thousand dinars per day.
He explained that more than 52 billion dinars were spent on salaries, operating expenses, food and the purchase of goods, while investment expenses amounted to 218 million dinars.
The observatory added that during the year 2025, the Presidency of the Republic did not submit any draft laws, nor did it record any significant actual activity in the framework of implementing the provisions of the constitution or providing direct services to citizens, despite the size of the expenditure allocated to it.
In its concluding statement, the Observatory called on the House of Representatives to enact laws regulating the salaries and expenditures of the three presidencies, considering that the current level of spending burdens the country’s budget, which suffers from a large deficit, and calls for a reassessment to ensure the efficient use of public funds.
