Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed that the US Treasury informed him that Iraq’s progress on the dollar issue “represents a revolution we’ve been dreaming of,” announcing the imminent launch of the most important plan to reform the private banking sector in the country’s history.
Al-Sudani said in a press statement that “Iraq’s account with the US Federal Reserve is now under the control of the government and is not subject to Washington’s tutelage.” He explained that he responded to questions about the United States’ silence over the past 20 years by saying, “America wants to verify the final destinations of its dollar, and this is its legitimate right.”
He stressed that “there is no American request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces permanently.”
The Prime Minister indicated that his government has no regrets about the one million job positions included in the three-year budget, stressing that this decision stems from the government’s commitment to addressing accumulated structural and social problems.
Regarding the industrial sector, Al-Sudani revealed that products from 54 Iraqi factories are being exported to foreign markets, indicating that this step reflects a significant development in enhancing national production capabilities.
In the energy sector, Al-Sudani announced an increase in electricity production from 19,000 to 27,000 megawatts, stressing that these efforts are part of the government’s strategy to improve services and meet citizens’ needs.
