Al-Atwani said, according to the statement, that "the parliamentary finance committee, as part of its ongoing efforts and continuous efforts to maximize non-oil revenues, is currently working on amending the law of the General Authority for Monitoring the Allocation of Federal Revenues, so that it can play its role in evaluating, monitoring and collecting these revenues in a sound and regular manner, in addition to including a new task in the law related to evaluating the performance of the budget and expenditures."
He added that "the committee is conducting an in-depth study of the Stock and Commodities Market Law, which it intends to legislate during the coming period, and is holding specialized workshops in order to encourage Islamic banks to enter into banking and financial activity."

The points of contention have been identified and diagnosed by the committee, and the legal and constitutional path to overcome them has been determined; as we hope to reach a final agreement in the next stage, in order to resume the export of the region's oil, in a way that ensures the enhancement of the state's resources." In
turn, the institution's delegation confirmed its interest and keenness to support the financial system in Iraq, through a long-term strategy, specialized training and consultations to develop Iraqi systems and legislation. https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/22785
