Despite inheriting numerous problems and facing challenges and crises, the ninth cabinet has successfully strengthened the Kurdistan Region over the past three years.

Since entering office, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani has taken several steps to achieve promised reforms, reemphasizing that they are a long-term process that requires the inclusion of all government institutions without exception.

With the recent increase in oil prices and the government's efforts to diversify the sources of its income, the Kurdistan Region is recovering as it enters a new phase of economic development.

The KRG ninth cabinet is making every effort to upgrade the agricultural and industrial sectors, strengthen the economy, and increase imports. The cabinet also wants to create an open and attractive region for local and foreign investors.

Prime Minister Barzani has repeatedly emphasized that crises will not stop the government's programs and plans to build more robust infrastructure and services to benefit the people of the Kurdistan Region.
