Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi confirmed today, Tuesday, that the government is looking forward to expediting the approval of the federal budget law by the House of Representatives.

The media office of the prime minister stated, in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the Council of Ministers held its regular session headed by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi." 

Al-Kadhimi stressed during the cabinet session that "challenges continue in the country due to the nature of the situation, which requires the solidarity and cooperation of all to overcome them." 
He added, "We look forward to expediting the passage of the federal budget law, and the paragraphs it contains that address the needs of the poorest classes, and support service projects that affect citizens' lives."

And Al-Kadhimi said: "We hope to stay away from auctions on the issue of the dollar exchange rate, as the decision was taken by the Central Bank according to a purposeful vision and strategy, and we began to see the results on the growth of cash reserves, and on Iraq's international credit rating." 

Al-Kadhimi called on all ministries to work with all their efforts to support the Ministry of Trade in order to distribute the ration card items to citizens and not to give some merchants an opportunity to exploit the citizen’s needs.
