The Ministry of Finance announced on Wednesday that it is discussing an agreement with the World Bank to grant certain salaries to the unemployed in five Iraqi provinces.

The ministry said in a statement received by the Economy News that its Minister Fouad Hussein discussed with representatives of the World Bank, the Minister of Labor and representatives of the International Organization for Migration a grant agreement for a certain period during which the unemployed are trained in order to qualify them and put them in the labor market.

She added that "this agreement will include the provinces of Anbar, Babylon, Diyala, Kirkuk and parts of Baghdad as a first stage," noting that "this agreement is part of a large project between the Ministry of Labor and the World Bank to support the segments who need to work immediately to improve their living and social reality."

For his part, the Deputy Prime Minister stressed the need to achieve the maximum benefit from these projects in order to support small families, especially in the liberated areas after the return of displaced people and find jobs for the youth segment, stressing the importance of achieving these projects away from political debates and suspicions of corruption.

For his part, the World Bank expressed its full readiness to support the package of decisions issued by the Council of Ministers and the House of Representatives on the opening of jobs and support for employment programs and granting small loans and other projects.
