The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, affirmed on Tuesday that the Iraqi economy is going through a pivotal phase that combines positive indicators and promising opportunities with structural challenges that require radical reforms, which the government program is working on with determination and a coherent approach.
Speaking to Al Furat News Agency, Saleh explained that “the gross domestic product is expected to achieve growth of approximately 5.3% in 2025 compared to previous years, indicating the strength of economic investment activity in the country.”
He added, “The government has proposed more than 160 investment projects in the electricity, refineries, and ports sectors, reflecting a significant trend toward revitalizing the private sector within the services-oriented government.”
He pointed out that “the economy will continue to need to reaffirm two fundamental paths without interruption. The first is to continue sustaining infrastructure projects as a lever for growth and the development of direct productive activity. The second is to activate the strategic partnership with the private sector to lead sustainable development within the social market philosophy, ensuring a high degree of economic diversification, in accordance with the objectives of the National Development Plan 2024-2028 and beyond.”
