The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, confirmed today, Monday, that the 2025 budget’s priorities include securing salaries and governing expenses.
Al-Atwani’s office stated in a statement received by Al-Maalouma Agency, “The latter chaired an expanded meeting of the Parliamentary Finance Committee with the senior staff in the Ministry of Finance to review and discuss a number of financial files and issues. He hosted the directors of accounting, budget and public debt in the Ministry of Finance, files on the size of spending and available liquidity, the problem of delayed financing, and the percentage of the budget deficit.”
He added, “The meeting discussed the financial situation in the country and ways to overcome the challenges facing the country’s financial policy, the latest preparations for preparing the 2025 budget schedules, and the mechanisms and plans to ensure the financing of salaries and governing expenses during this year.”
He pointed out that “the meeting reviewed the file of the external and internal public debt, where the size of the debt was reviewed, whether inherited from the time of the former regime, or that which was resorted to after 2003 through external and internal loans, and the mechanisms of its repayment schedule, in addition to the measures taken to amend Iraq’s credit rating.”
Al-Atwani added, “The main goal of the three-year budget was to solve the financing problems, but the condition of the availability of financial liquidity before contracting took us back to square one, and we took the path of positive integration with the executive authority with the aim of enabling it to implement the paragraphs of its government program.”
He added, “The 2025 budget’s priorities include securing salaries, governing expenses, and everything that affects citizens’ lives. The Ministry of Finance must have sound plans and programs to manage financial policy in a way that achieves sustainable development.”
