Al-Atwani emphasized in the statement that “approving the tripartite budget gave the government great flexibility in terms of contracting, implementing projects, and attracting foreign companies to implement major projects.” He also mentioned that “the Finance Committee seeks integration between the legislative and executive authorities through monitoring spending and financing and implementing plans and programs.” Since this administration is making steady progress toward realizing the goals of the people, we want it to succeed.

“Provide the necessary support to Iraq in the areas of exchanging experiences and training national cadres, to develop our banking system, especially as we are moving towards activating the digital financial dealing system and automating taxes, customs, and other service sectors that generate financial revenues for the state,” demanded Al-Atwani of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
