Al-Ziyadi: The government is either unable or deliberately obstructing the submission of the 2025 budget schedules
Al-Ziyadi: The government is either unable or deliberately obstructing the submission of the 2025 budget schedules.
MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi accused the government on Thursday of being unable or deliberately delaying the sending of the 2025 budget tables to the House of Representatives, which led to a paralysis in the provision of services to citizens.
Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The government is either unable or is creating obstruction by not sending the approved budget tables to the House of Representatives," adding that "all local governments today are unable to provide services to their people due to the absence of a budget and the failure to approve its tables.
" He called on "the Prime Minister to assume responsibility and send the budget tables to Parliament as soon as possible, stressing that "the ball is now in the Prime Minister's court, and his government must act quickly so that citizens can see the services they deserve."
It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives had previously hosted the Minister of Finance to discuss the budget tables and the reasons for the delay in sending them. link
Tishwash: Parliamentary Finance: Current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of central and regional employees and retirees.
Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."
Al-Atwani explained in a statement (published by Al-Masry today, Thursday 7/24/2025), that “the Ministry of Finance, along with other ministries, is currently working on solutions after adding stalled projects and projects to relieve bottlenecks, to indicate the new obligations included in the 2025 budget.”
He explained that "Iraqi oil sales on the global market are currently sufficient to cover the salaries of employees and retirees, but the irregular flow of cash may cause delays in paying those salaries," noting that "current revenues are sufficient to cover the salaries of all employees and retirees in the central government and the Kurdistan Region."
The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee reiterated that "employee rights are fully protected and secured, and that once the budget schedules are approved, bonuses and promotions will be issued and will take effect from the date of issuance of the relevant orders."
The Parliamentary Finance Committee settled the controversy surrounding the budget deficit ceiling reaching approximately 83 trillion dinars, while reassuring employees and Parliamentary Committee Chairman MP Atwan Al-Atwani stated, "There is still no real ceiling for the budget deficit. This is because expenditures and revenues have yet to be studied to determine the overall budget deficit ceiling."

WALKINGSTICK : IRAQI BANK AKI UPDATE: "Iraqi Bank Insider Hints at New Dinar Rate Between $2–$3, Awaiting Official Release"
Walkingstick reports that Iraq is no longer under any international sanctions, including financial restrictions.
The IMF has officially given Iraq full freedom to manage its exchange rate, confirming developments inside the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).
The restrictions or "handcuffs" on Iraq’s currency have been removed, allowing the country to move forward.
Although Iraq is still in a legal transition phase, there are no active limitations on the CBI or its currency operations .
An update from Walkingstick’s Iraqi banking contact "Aki" indicates that while Aki himself hasn't seen the new exchange rate yet, his boss in Iraq has it and will share it when appropriate.
Both confirm there's frequent discussion about the new rate, with expectations that it could be between $2.00 and $3.00 USD per dinar, in their opinion.

Revealing The Cause Of The Economic Recession In Iraq And The Dollar's Connection To It
Time: 2025/07/23 20:29:01 Reading: 930 Times
{Economic: Al-Furat News} Economic researcher Ahmed Abd Rabbo revealed that the decline in the dollar exchange rate in local markets, although an indicator of economic and Iraqi dinar recovery, comes amid an economic recession primarily due to the failure to approve the budget and the decline in oil prices. Abd Rabbo warned, in a statement to {Al-Furat News}, that:
"The current recession is mainly caused by the failure to approve the budget and the decline in oil prices, which could significantly increase the fiscal deficit," warning that "the fiscal deficit could rise to
85 trillion Iraqi dinars, according to current indicators."
Abdul Rabbo pointed out that "there are significant efforts by monetary policy that are not limited to the dollar exchange rate alone, but also include supporting borrowing and stimulating the market,
including the "Baghdad Pulse" initiative and others, all of which aim to support the civilized image of the capital and the economy."
He explained that "those who control the price of oil are external factors subject to wars and demand, and therefore price fluctuations negatively impact Iraq."
The economic researcher stressed that "maximizing non-oil revenues is something that must be achieved," expressing his "regret for the lack of a genuine will to support the country's agricultural and industrial sectors."
