The Iraqi government has started discussions on the structure of the 2025 budget, with expectations for its submission to Parliament early next year, according to Atwan Al-Atwani, head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee.
State-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) says Al-Atwani hosted a delegation from Adam Smith International to discuss public financial management reforms, including tax, customs, public debt, and development fund sectors. Key financial challenges, particularly the oil revenue dependency, were highlighted, as well as ongoing efforts to boost non-oil revenues through legal reforms.

A major issue remains the oil dispute with the Kurdistan region, which the committee is actively working to resolve through dialogue. Al-Atwani also indicated that reforms are underway, including amendments to the General Authority for Monitoring Federal Revenue Allocations Law and new proposals related to Islamic bonds and financial market regulations.

 Article: " 'Hybrid Monetary Policy'.. Al-Sudani's Advisor Reveals the Central Bank's New Step"  

 Quote:  "The Central Bank began...on October 24, to reduce the monetary policy interest rate...by about 200 percentage points, by lowering the interest at which the Central Bank deals with banks from 7.5% to 5.5%, which means...an expansionary policy in targeting the money supply...

Despite the above... new policy did not neglect the importance of continuing to control local liquidity levels and carrying out high sterilization operations,

 by offering debt instruments called Islamic certificates of deposit...which are considered sovereign debts that can be mortgaged or discounted in the secondary market and are excellent debts...
