Here is the summary of this whole interview
Proposed Reforms: - Issuing a New Currency: Mazen Al-Ishiqir proposed replacing the current currency with a new one pegged directly to the US dollar (1 Dinar = 1 Dollar) to ensure long-term stability. -Digital Governance Dashboard: Mazen Al-Saad emphasized the need for a “dashboard” management system based on real-time data to monitor state resources and oversee administration, replacing outdated paper-based bureaucracy. -Reactivating the Reconstruction Council: Al-Ishiqir suggested allocating 30% of state revenue to an independent Reconstruction Council to ensure funds are directed toward strategic projects, mitigating corruption. -Fair Tax Laws: The guests highlighted the importance of a progressive tax law to regulate revenue from the private sector (hospitals, universities, housing complexes), which currently utilize state assets without significant returns. Pegging the Dinar to the Dollar: -Al-Ishiqir stated that he discussed the idea of pegging the Dinar to the Dollar with the US Treasury, who informed him that the process could be technically achieved within three months, contingent upon the political will and an agreement between the Federal Reserve and the Central Bank of Iraq. Implementation of Digital Currency and Governance: -Mazen Al-Saad argued that digital transformation and managing state operations through a data dashboard can be initiated with a single decision, asserting there are no technical obstacles to the transition.
