Economist Basem Jamil Antoine explained, today, Saturday, that it would have been possible to address the economic crises if the government had listened to economic experts and specialists in this regard.
Antoine said in an interview that “the country’s economic situation and previous accumulations are very large between corruption, mismanagement and tampering with public money, which led to an increase in the poverty rate over 35%,” noting “a significant increase in the unemployment rate, which in turn burdens the citizen.”
And the economic expert continued: “But the question here is is it borne by the Iraqi citizen, certainly not, but by the corrupt who caused this economic crisis in Iraq.”
Antoine explained that “the budget has great exaggerations, and the trick lies in hitting the dollar in 1450, which led to a significant increase in the proportion of the budget, which in turn caused many exaggerations.”
