The government’s economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed today, Saturday, that retirement salaries in Iraq are legally secured through the financial system in a perfect manner, and there are no concerns about them.
Salih said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, that “the gray signals that are sometimes issued are nothing more than incorrect speculation,” stressing that “expenditures related to retirement pensions have priority in the general budget allocations in its operational aspect.” He explained
that “the retirement administration is managed with high professionalism and focuses on developing payment methods according to the schedules programmed with the banking system and digital payment systems. ”
Salih pointed out that “these systems are constantly evolving and rely on updated databases of beneficiaries, within an integrated and high-level financial governance.”
During the past two months, the salaries of Iraqi retirees have witnessed a delay in their usual disbursement date at the beginning of each month for reasons that have not yet been officially revealed, which raised the concern of a large segment of retirees, before the government repeatedly affirmed its commitment to guaranteeing retirement benefits and disbursing them without interruption.
