On Monday, outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani directed that the financial impact of reform measures be measured by rationalizing spending and maximizing revenues.
A statement from the Prime Minister’s office, received by Shafaq News Agency, stated that Al-Sudani chaired a meeting of the Ministerial Council for the Economy, and the meeting witnessed a discussion of the procedures of ministries and government agencies related to the outcomes of the previous meeting, which aim to reduce government spending and maximize revenues.
According to the statement, Al-Sudani directed the relevant authorities to measure the size of the financial impact after the implementation of the reform measures to rationalize spending, as well as to measure the size of their effectiveness, stressing the application of financial and structural reforms to rearrange the priorities of public spending.
He pointed to the importance of proceeding with reform steps that would create more job opportunities in the private sector, and open doors to new investments in various sectors to increase revenues and reduce the burden on the general budget.
It is worth noting that the outgoing Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, stressed last Thursday the need to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and restructuring of all tax administration systems in Iraq, including their specific policies.
