    He pointed out that “the financial budget resources from outside the oil sector are estimated at an average of 8% of the total budget resources,” stressing “the need to proceed with real reforms, as in the white paper proposed by the government, including improving collection from customs and taxes, and how to benefit from these resources to increase revenues.” non-oil.”
     
    He continued, "This requires a plan to increase the fiscal space for the state to invest these resources in strategic sectors such as education, health, social protection and infrastructure.

When asking for new projects.

Which affected the service sector, which represents about a third of the Iraqi national economy, due to frequent closures.”
     
    He pointed out that “the Corona pandemic and the drop in the oil price have affected poverty rates and raised them between seven to fourteen percentage points, or about 2.7 to 5 million Iraqis who are threatened with poverty as a result of the pandemic and the fluctuation of the oil price.”

    Mansour indicated that "the World Bank does not impose sovereign conditions on any country in return for granting it loans," stressing that "the bank's mechanism for granting loans depends on three things. The first relates to the economic, social and environmental feasibility of the project. The return must be high."

We stress the issue of governance, especially those related to the projects that we finance, if it is in terms of combating corruption, transparency and access to information in order to avoid any obstacles or problems,” noting that “the third is related to the request of any government to support the budget, so the condition There, it will be accompanied by a clear reform plan, and the macroeconomic framework must be sustainable in order to ensure that such a loan actually contributes to confronting any crisis that arises or contributes to growth or reducing poverty rates.”
