The State of Law Coalition warned, on Wednesday, of attempts to create a financial crisis in Iraq through rumors about the salaries of employees and retirees, stressing that the current situation is good and salaries are secured for the current year.
“The issue of the financial crisis is not at the level that is being talked about. Compensation, allowances and delayed entitlements have been paid to employees of some ministries and retirees, and the state is in a good position,” coalition member Imran Karkoush told Al-Maalouma Agency. “What is being circulated are attempts to create a new crisis in Iraq. At the moment, there is no such problem. The situation requires more reassurance from the state and government to the Iraqi public opinion and not to allow a crisis to occur there.”
He added, “The situation in the region is moving towards some kind of stability, especially with the imminent cessation of the Zionist aggression on Gaza and reaching an agreement to end the war. Iraq also has good understandings with countries, in addition to the stability of oil prices,” stressing that “there are no major concerns and the Ministry of Finance confirms that salaries are secured for the current year 2025.”
It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Finance decided to stop bonuses for employees’ salaries and not allow transfers between ministries, appointments or the calculation of higher degrees during service, while some confirm that these measures are indicators of a lack of financial liquidity in the state.
