ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – In a significant step toward economic stability, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has successfully secured parliamentary consensus to advance a crucial budget amendment aimed at resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region. 

Following a meeting on Wednesday with the heads of parliamentary factions, Vian Sabri, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) faction, confirmed that lawmakers had reached an understanding to support the amendment. 

“The prime minister emphasized the urgent need to restore oil exports to mitigate economic damage, urging all parties to collaborate in passing the government-backed bill,” Sabri told Kurdistan24. 

With broad agreement among Kurdish, Sunni, and Shiite factions, approximately 200 MPs are expected to vote in favor of the amendment on Sunday, marking a potential breakthrough in Iraq’s energy and economic sectors.
