ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has welcomed the parliament’s approval of amendments to the federal budget law, describing it as a responsible and constructive step, according to an official statement published by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) on Sunday.
Al-Sudani also urged both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Federal Ministry of Oil to immediately begin implementing the revised provisions of the budget.
Iraqi government spokesperson Basm al-Awadi emphasized that the parliament’s vote on the amendments, which align with the text proposed by the Council of Ministers, marks a significant milestone in ensuring political stability and strengthening cooperation between the executive and legislative branches.
"This decision reflects the high level of cooperation between the government and parliament, reinforcing a shared commitment to accelerating development, reconstruction, and reform efforts," al-Awadi stated.
He further stressed that the government remains dedicated to addressing challenges with a strong sense of responsibility, prioritizing Iraq’s supreme national interests.
Call for Immediate Action on Oil and Resources
Following the amendment's passage, al-Sudani called on the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Federal Ministry of Oil to swiftly implement the revised provisions, ensuring the optimal utilization of the country's natural resources, particularly its oil wealth.
"Let this resource serve as a pillar of stability and a driving force for further achievements in national development programs that meet the needs of our people," he concluded.
The budget amendment is expected to play a key role in fostering greater economic cooperation between the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Region, addressing longstanding disputes over oil revenues and resource management.
on Sunday, the Iraqi Parliament approved a key amendment to the federal budget law. This crucial step will allow oil exports from the Kurdistan Region to resume.
