Ruqaya al-Nouri, a member of the committee, told Baghdad Today that "Iraq over the past years was going through a recovery phase due to the difficult security conditions it went through, especially during the period of occupation of the terrorist organization ISIS and after the liberation operations, and the advancement of the country's reality needed efforts and a long time."

Al-Nouri added that "Iraq is currently past the recovery stage and has entered the stage of development at various levels, especially with regard to the service and urban aspect and many others," stressing that "there is great government interest in developing all banking and service sectors, and Iraq during the next two years will witness a remarkable and significant development in various aspects."

Since taking office in October 2022, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has achieved a record number of policy achievements. The "service government," which he heads, has completed a range of projects including the construction of roads, highways and hospitals, the signing of multibillion-dollar agreements to ensure energy independence, the completion of a deal with Tehran to swap gas for oil So that Iraqis can withstand the sweltering heat in summer when temperatures reach 50 degrees Celsius, and work with the government to pass the federal budget for three years.
