The head of the Parliamentary Investment Committee, Representative Riad Al-Tamimi, warned Tuesday of a “catastrophe” that could kill investment in Iraq, calling on the government to take quick and firm decisions to strike corruption.
Al-Tamimi said, in a statement: “I am again addressing Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi in his capacity as the first person responsible for the reform file in the country, and I am talking about a disaster that kills investment after it plummets Iraq economically.
He added, “Iraq needs to develop investment, revitalize it and support the general budget through the investment and economy files, but the surprise that is always repeated is the administrative changes that are from bad to worse.”
He continued, “The director of state real estate was assigned to look at matters only without having the possibility of real work, and a vision that stimulates investment, and has become a media tool for speech without real action.”
And he considered that “the file of banks and banks has become a killing tool for investment, because their goal is personal interest without public interest.”
He called for “a quick and expanded meeting with the relevant authorities to speak frankly about what is happening in the concerned departments with the aim of stimulating investment.”
He explained, “The Investment Committee aims to strengthen the economy and investment, and today we note the killing of the Iraqi economy by the currency auction and state real estate and the Supreme Committee for the allocation of lands in your esteemed council.”
He called for “firm, quick and effective decisions that change reality and hit the heads of corruption, because the stage is sensitive, critical and dangerous, and there is no more risk and delay in decisions.”
