 THE EUROPEAN UNION ORGANIZES A WORKSHOP IN BASRA ON CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION AND THE WEALTH DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The European Union organized a workshop in Basra on central administration and the wealth distribution system.

Basra Governor Asaad Al-Eidani stressed during the workshop that the distribution of wealth has limitations for the poorest areas as well as areas with high population density, in addition to areas that were damaged by the wars that Iraq witnessed.

He added that Basra has three resources for distributing wealth in the budget, which are: regional development, border crossing revenues, and petrodollars. Basra may not be given its full revenues, which are according to the constitution, due to the financial situation and challenges facing the country. He pointed out that during the past two years there are debts owed to the governorate that must be given those entitlements.

Al-Eidani explained that “the infrastructure projects being implemented in the province have contributed significantly to improving the economic situation in various housing units, noting that house prices in the province have witnessed a noticeable doubling during the past few years, reaching ten times their previous value.

Al-Eidani pointed out that these improvements reflect the impact of development projects on improving the standard of living and enhancing the value of real estate assets in Basra.”
