Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi chaired the meeting of the Supreme Committee for Reform in Iraq. Al-Kazemi said, according to a statement by his office, “Since we launched the reform white paper to address the rampant corruption in the country and we have been working to create an appropriate atmosphere for its application, and our meeting today is to announce the start of implementing the administrative and executive mechanisms for the economic reform plan within the white paper.” He added, “We strongly aspire to restore the country’s economy to its strength after the situation reached very low levels as a result of rampant corruption. This plan would rebuild the Iraqi economy in a proper manner that would achieve sustainable development for the country.” Al-Kazemi continued during the meeting, The reform plan will provide a solution to the chronic economic management crisis, which is represented by complete dependence on oil, and the failure to diversify sources of income. We want to prove to the Iraqis that we are serious about reform. Therefore, the plan for managing the economy was not short-term, nor was it timely to resolve, but rather aimed at an integrated reform until it is completed within 5 years.” He indicated that “the damage to the Iraqi economy is very large; For this reason, it is impossible to implement the reform plan in a short time, and whoever promises to do so is delusional. Our goal is to advance the Iraqi state, not the current government. Governments go and the state remains, and for this we want with all our determination to restore Iraq’s economic prestige. Since we took over the executive branch of Iraq, we have been working hard to implement reforms; In order to get out with minimal losses for all of us, the future of our children is more important than anything, they are the builders of Iraq, and they will lead it, so let us leave our interests and think about our children.”
