The Echo Iraq Observatory monitors monthly spending and revenues and indicates a financial deficit.

The Echo Iraq Observatory confirmed, on Saturday (October 11, 2025), the existence of a financial deficit due to the country's dependence on oil revenues, while monitoring the size of monthly spending and revenues.
The observatory stated in a report received by Baghdad Today that "monthly public spending reached approximately 11.5 trillion dinars, compared to revenues that did not exceed 10.5 trillion dinars, indicating a clear financial deficit resulting from the state's reliance on oil revenues and weak non-oil revenues."
He added, "Monthly public spending is 11.5 trillion, while monthly revenues amount to 10.5 trillion."
He continued, "Oil sales in August reached $7.1 billion, with $104.7 million exported, at a price of $65 per barrel," believing that "the price per barrel will approach $60."
The observatory added, "Monthly, oil revenues reach approximately 9.3 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues do not exceed 2 trillion."
