Iraq's parliament approves remaining ministers in al-Zaidi's cabinet
Iraq's parliament has finished approving key ministers five months after the government led by al-Zaidi took office. The approval comes amid growing concerns about the country's economy.
Iraq's parliament has completed the appointment of the remaining key ministers in al-Zaidi's government. The vote came five months after the government took office, meaning the cabinet of the Middle Eastern country has now been approved in full.
The decision closes a period in which the government worked while several important ministerial posts were not yet finally filled. Al Jazeera, the news outlet that reported the development, says the cabinet's approval comes at a time of growing concern about Iraq's economic situation.
The brief report does not say which ministers were confirmed, what their portfolios are, or which specific economic risks are behind the concerns.
