Between security stability and economic challenges... the last year of Al-Sudani's government
As the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani enters its final year, many challenges emerge on the scene, despite the achievements made in various fields.
MP Hussein Al-Azirjawi confirmed in an interview with "Baghdad Today", Sunday (March 9, 2025), that "the security situation is stable and has not been affected by regional events," pointing to the readiness of the security forces to confront any emergency.
On the economic level, Al-Azirjawi pointed out that “there are some difficulties, but they are less severe than what previous governments faced,” stressing that “the government is continuing to address the crises, especially with regard to paying salaries and reviving development projects in various governorates.”
He also pointed out that "Al-Sudani's government has achieved broad popular satisfaction, thanks to the resumption of work on a number of vital projects, such as bridges, hospitals and factories.
Despite the challenges of low oil prices, he stressed that "the government has the solutions to overcome the obstacles," expecting that "the economic or security file will not constitute a major obstacle in the next stage."
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani assumed office in October 2022 amid complex political and economic conditions, as his government came after a long formation crisis following the early parliamentary elections in 2021.
Since then, his government has faced sensitive issues, most notably improving the economic situation, enhancing security, and combating corruption, in addition to trying to achieve internal and external political balance in light of the tense regional situation.
As the current government enters its final year, new challenges emerge, particularly in light of the fluctuations in oil prices and their impact on the general budget, in addition to the continued need to implement economic reforms and combat corruption to ensure sustainable improvement in government performance link
