Iraq: Reconciliation Hinders Remaining Ministries
The article discusses the crisis facing the formation of Iraq's new government, where Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi encounters difficulties in completing the cabinet formation due to political disagreements over the creation of deputy prime minister positions and new ministries. Additionally, political forces are exerting pressure to accommodate all factions and serve their own political interests. The country also faces financial challenges stemming from the declining value of the dinar against the dollar, which has widened the gap between the official exchange rate and the market rate, leading to increased government expenses amid weak oil exports. Efforts continue within parliamentary institutions to conduct the vote on ministerial posts, but disagreements, legal challenges, and external interventions—particularly the American veto—make the process difficult to complete. Ultimately, the article indicates that the expansion of ministries and political interests are intensifying the budget burden and threaten efforts to achieve financial reform.
