Planning discusses the financial and economic reform proposals that the government brought to face the current crisis

The Ministry of Planning discussed the financial and economic reform proposals that the government brought to face the challenges the country is going through during a workshop held at the Ministry’s headquarters in the presence of the Undersecretary for Technical Affairs and a number of general managers, heads of departments and divisions.

The technical agent, Dr. Maher Hammad Johan, said that this workshop is very important in all its names, as the country stands today at a crossroads in the file of reform at various economic, administrative and social levels to address the current crisis that the country is going through. He added in a speech during his opening of the workshop that the Ministry of Planning is Responsible for finding solutions to the country's problems.

And he indicated that the economic crisis was represented, starting with the Corona pandemic, and resulting in the repercussions of the drop in oil prices and then the change in the exchange rates of the dollar, or the administrative problems represented by job slack and the inability of the private sector to absorb the preparation of the unemployed to withdraw the momentum on the public job.

For his part, Director General of the Department of Economic and Financial Policies in the Ministry, Dr. Alaeddin Jaafar, said that in light of the double crisis that the world is going through, a set of government initiatives have been prepared, including the White Paper and the resulting reforms, as well as the document issued by the House of Representatives that complemented the White Paper. .

He continued by saying: The Department of Economic and Financial Policies has submitted several proposals since the beginning of the Corona pandemic and raised them to the higher authorities as treatments for the dual crisis, which included treatments for the financial and monetary crisis on the basis of other proposals and in coordination with the technical agent department on treatments for the productive and service sectors that are the basis of reform and not only the expenditure side. And revenues, stressing that a number of executive procedures and proposals have been taken and submitted to the higher authorities to take what they deem appropriate from these treatments.
