Jamal Kojar, a member of the Finance Committee in the outgoing parliamentary session, ruled out on Saturday the implementation of the “White Paper” project for economic reform, explaining that the current government has no powers, in addition to the absence of a budget.
Kujer told Shafaq News Agency, “Talking about implementing the White Paper and carrying out economic reforms is incorrect, and it is not legally possible, considering that the current government is finished and cannot implement any economic measures.”
Kujer explained that “implementing the White Paper requires studying and including the economic reform paper in the budget law, and this law does not currently exist.”
It is worth noting that the White Paper is a project adopted by the government of former Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, to serve as an economic reform program, and it was written by the Emergency Cell for Financial Reform.
Al-Kadhimi had announced on August 2, 2022, the launch of the economic reform plan within the White Paper that he had previously announced as a program for his government’s work.
The outgoing government, headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, launched several economic papers, most notably those related to the banking sector and its restructuring, and work began on them.
