Parliamentary calls to reconsider calculating the price of a barrel of oil in the 2025 budget

Information / Baghdad… The State Support Parliamentary Bloc called, on Thursday, for the necessity of reconsidering the calculation of the price of a barrel of oil in next year’s budget.

Bloc member Mohammed Al-Ziyadi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “Stopping the war in Ukraine will return oil prices to $50 per barrel, so the government must reconsider calculating the price of a barrel of oil in the budget for next year 2025.”

He added, “Reconsidering the calculation of the price of a barrel in the general budget is not enough, but rather it is necessary to take important measures to reduce government spending and work to activate non-oil sources of revenue and accelerate the completion of governance in all state institutions, especially taxes and collected funds to eradicate corruption.”

The State Administration Coalition held a meeting yesterday, Wednesday, in the presence of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, where a number of files were discussed, including the emphasis on supporting the step of amending one of the articles of the federal general budget related to oil.
