A number of economists called for the dismissal of Finance Minister Ali Allawi, due to his inability to find solutions to confront the financial crisis that struck the country since the beginning of this year as a result of the outbreak of the Corona virus and the drop in oil prices.

The economist, Rafa Al-Baldawi, said on his Facebook page, "The Iraq crisis today is basically a public financial crisis, and the first solution is to dismiss the Minister of Finance, who clearly does not understand anything about public finance, does not know the priorities, and does not have any vision for a solution." .

He added, since his appointment until today, we only heard from him the problems that all specialists and interested people know, and the House of Representatives has done well by refusing to pass the new borrowing law in its current suspicious form .

Meanwhile, economist Aqeel Al-Ansari said, " He is the basis of the problem (Ali Allawi) because he was a finance minister in the transitional government," adding that "the white paper that he presented is a review of the problems."

He stressed that the government has so far not provided solutions to the problem, except for borrowing and even the numbers that were presented are unrealistic .

He indicated that the problem lies in the responsible person himself, and the solution is to resign, because the devastation he made is more than the devastation that was before his conversion.
