The Significance of the Triennial Budget for Foreign Companies as Perceived by the Iraqi Parliamentary Finance Committee, 19 AUGUST
The Significance of the Triennial Budget for Foreign Companies as Perceived by the Iraqi Parliamentary Finance Committee
The head of the Iraqi Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, recently emphasized the importance of the triennial budget to foreign companies during a meeting with a delegation from the US Embassy in Baghdad. This statement underscores the budget's role in shaping the country's economic landscape and its potential impact on foreign investment.
The Role of the Finance Committee in Budget Law Oversight
Al-Atwani highlighted the Finance Committee's responsibilities in monitoring the implementation of the General Budget Law, particularly focusing on provisions that aim to maximize non-oil revenues and support the private sector and investment. This oversight ensures fiscal policies align with national goals and attract foreign investment by creating a stable and predictable economic environment.
The Triennial Budget as an Economic Message
The triennial budget serves as a strategic tool for communicating Iraq's economic intentions and priorities to the international community. Al-Atwani's remarks suggest that the budget's provisions on non-oil revenue and private sector support are intended to signal Iraq's commitment to diversifying its economy and fostering an investment-friendly climate. This could potentially attract foreign companies looking for opportunities in a market undergoing economic reforms.
Implications for Foreign Companies
For foreign companies, the triennial budget's emphasis on non-oil sectors and private sector development can indicate potential areas for investment. The budget's provisions, if implemented effectively, could lead to a more diversified economy, reduced dependency on oil revenues, and a more stable investment climate. This could translate into more opportunities for foreign investors, particularly those interested in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services.
Conclusion
The Iraqi Parliamentary Finance Committee's stance on the triennial budget underscores its importance as a message to foreign companies. By focusing on non-oil revenue and private sector development, Iraq aims to attract foreign investment and diversify its economy. Foreign companies considering Iraq as a potential market should closely monitor how the budget's provisions are implemented and the broader economic reforms taking place.

Question: "What are you looking for next?" I'm looking for Sudani to come out and show the Iraqi citizens their new currency, their lower notes in whatever fashion that he'll take.

Question: "How long do you think the US Treasury will be in Iraq? Are they staying to see the finish?"
IMO yes.
Question: "As far as the training videos, are there any more subjects remaining with the RI and monetary reform that the Iraqi have not seen?"
Yes. Right now they're teaching them about the float. They hadn't seen that up until two days ago.
CBI document released [Sunday] This is good. What is the reason why we don't have the monetary reform?Sudani is working with the United States Treasury. IMO the Untied States Treasury is sitting in the seat of the governor of the CBI where Alaq normally sits...I find this to be a catalyst to see the Untied States Treasury there. I'm very excited about what's going on...

The United States Treasury, Federal Reserve, they showed up...What do you think that means? You think they're going to sit there and allow them to be lackadaisical, to be lazy, just to take your time ? No. The Untied States of America works on a nano second...I find it very encouraging to speed up the monetary reform process.
