Industry unveils plan to restart stalled plants
Baghdad - Waaa - Nassar al-Hajj
The Ministry of Industry revealed on Saturday the number of factories and government companies suspended, while confirming the existence of a plan for the ministry to return the suspended ones to work by presenting their files for investment or participation.
Ministry of Industry spokesman Morteza al-Safi told The Iraqi News Agency (AAP) that "the total number of factories in companies (227) is 227, while the number of factories operating (140) is 140."
Suspended factories and private sector companies
He pointed out that "the number of industrial projects operating up to 30/4/2019, (2248) industrial projects, and the number of industrial projects fully established up to 30/4/2019 (20415) industrial projects."
"18,167 industrial projects are out of business," he said.
Loss-making companies
"There are many measures to address the problem of the losing companies, restructuring and evaluating existing production lines and developing economically viable ones," al-Safi said.
The problem of inflation is also addressed through the activation of the Business Development Center, which cares about employment outside the labour force and seeks to redistribute employment to cover the labour needs of both government and private sectors, in addition to activating partnership and investment contracts with the local and foreign private sector sought to address the obstacles to expansion in the field of investment.
"As for the time ceilings, they are linked to the timings of the implementation of the industrial sector strategy adopted until 2030, as it is planned at the end of the term to transfer most public companies to the private sector, except for strategic industries that will remain linked to the state."
Reasons for factory shutdowns

"Most factories and factories were damaged and destroyed by the entry of ISIS terrorist gangs in 2016, and the military operations to liberate the areas occupied by these gangs," he said.
"One of the reasons is also the lack of economic feasibility in operating some factories, factories and production lines due to random imports, market openness and the presence of similar products imported at very cheap prices and supported by exporting countries to hit the Iraqi product," he said.
"There are many other reasons related to the security situation of some provinces and cities where these factories are located or the import procedures for raw materials involved in production and others," he said.
The next Ministry's Policy for Industry Development
According to a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry, "the ministry has prepared in accordance with the government platform the plans and programs studied and aimed at rehabilitating factories, factories and their subsidiaries, which are scattered throughout the provinces in the coming years to improve and diversify local production and develop the production process.

Technology and the signing of investment contracts that include the investor's rehabilitation and operation of the invested plants and is committed to paying a percentage of the production under the design capacity of those factories."
He pointed out that "the ministry has begun to implement the axes of the government program for the years (2019-2022) and was able to achieve different activities and achievements during the 100-day period," pointing out that "the most important thing achieved is to get decisions supporting and encouraging the national industry are the decision to sell in advance and exempt goods and goods."
