The Parliamentary Commission on Economy and Investment, on Thursday, proposed to the government 8 measures to manage the financial crisis.

He added: “The committee requests the government to take a number of measures and decisions through which it can manage the financial crisis, as follows: –
– Stopping investment spending and reducing operational spending in all aspects of government activity immediately.”
– Agreement with the creditors to postpone the payment of Iraq’s external and internal debts until the financial situation improves.
– Obtaining state debts on mobile phone companies and telecom companies.
Stopping the payment of amounts to the investors of the electricity sector.
– Working to enhance government imports and supply the treasury with the region’s value of crude oil exports and border crossings.
– Review the exchange rates from the Central Bank of Iraq to ensure prices that do not affect the citizen and at the same time secure the salaries of state employees.
– Forming a supreme committee to impose the management of Iraqi treasury funds, and to follow up the ministries, agencies, and institutions that are reluctant to pay the money obligated to collect them for the public treasury.
– Any other measures that the government deems necessary to maintain the hard currency and prevent waste in spending.
