 Al-Sudani Directs To Reconsider Some Economic Decisions

Economy | 08/07/2024  Baghdad - Mawazine News  Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani confirmed today, Monday, that the government has provided the private sector with great supportive opportunities and worked to empower it, while directing a review of some unproductive economic decisions and policies. Al-

Sudani chaired the periodic meeting of the Ministerial Council for the Economy, in which the decisions related to the economic reality and the implementation of the reform aspects included in the government program were followed up, according to a statement received by Mawazine News Agency.

At the beginning of the session, Al-Sudani pointed out "the importance of reviewing the economic decisions and policies that were taken in previous stages, and that the time has come to stand up to a number of unproductive work contexts and practices, and that reform requires strong and correct decisions."

The Prime Minister explained that "the government has provided the private sector with great supportive opportunities, and worked to empower it and launch its projects, and it is closely following up on everything required to continue the pace of growth, and its supportive decisions will not be directed towards the benefit of groups that live on specific outlets, without providing a contribution or returns to the country."

The statement added that "the Council discussed the report of the Diwani Order Committee (24573), headed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning, to follow up on the volume of support directed to petroleum products and fuel supplied to factories and plants and to the Ministry of Electricity."

The statement explained that "the Council also followed up on the issue of taxes due on companies and ways to organize them, and approved the adoption of a clear mechanism for the tax, in addition to approving the work to separate the real operating factories from the fictitious factories and audit the numbers and tables presented in the report and adopt an economic vision that supports the export of factory products and expansion of production."

The statement continued that "on the organizational side, the Council approved the formation of a technical committee from the sectoral bodies in the Ministries of Oil and Trade, in addition to the Council of Ministers' advisors; in order to control roles and resolve loose ends," and directed "to set the next meeting within a week to make final decisions."  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=250986
