Clare: Adam Smith International assists with Iraq Budget Prep
23rd October 2024 By John Lee
The Iraqi government has started discussions on the structure of the 2025 budget, with expectations for its submission to Parliament early next year, according to Atwan Al-Atwani, head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee.
State-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) says Al-Atwani hosted a delegation from Adam Smith International to discuss public financial management reforms, including tax, customs, public debt, and development fund sectors. Key financial challenges, particularly the oil revenue dependency, were highlighted, as well as ongoing efforts to boost non-oil revenues through legal reforms.
A major issue remains the oil dispute with the Kurdistan region, which the committee is actively working to resolve through dialogue. Al-Atwani also indicated that reforms are underway, including amendments to the General Authority for Monitoring Federal Revenue Allocations Law and new proposals related to Islamic bonds and financial market regulations.

Militia Man I'm surprised we to date have yet to see Alaq at a podium telling everybody and the people their new Real Effective Exchange Rate they can be proud of. He has not done that yet. Is that an expectation? I think so. I think it really should be expected.
Walkingstick Sudani is slowly allowing banks to be relicensed again but he's bringing in these currency exchange centers as well. When he relicenses a bank, he will have full control of that bank. When he brings in these money exchange centers/banks he will have full control of them also. Sudani and the CBI watch every process of the monetary reform... They will be giving a percentage to these centers and banks of the volume they will be bringing in. It is a symbiotic relationship where they will both benefit...
