The 4% growth in the Iraqi economy reflects the beginning of a positive shift towards sustainable economic diversification. According to the International Monetary Fund’s expectations, this growth reflects the country’s efforts to reduce dependence on non-renewable natural resources and shift to an economy that relies on other sectors.
Experts consider the development project initiated by the government to be a qualitative step towards restructuring the national economy. They point out that this project includes developing a strong infrastructure, developing the industrial and agricultural sectors, in addition to attracting foreign and local investments, which will enhance Iraq’s ability to face future economic challenges.
In this context, experts point out that Iraq has already begun implementing some of the recommendations of international conferences, such as the Munich Conference and other economic forums held in Washington and Riyadh, as the government seeks to attract international companies and enhance the role of the private sector in the economy.
The government’s move towards multi-pronged development programs is part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at transforming the Iraqi economy from an economy that relies primarily on oil to a
diversified and sustainable economy.
Development Plan
Economic expert Dr. Adnan Bahiya explained in an interview with "Sabah" that the World Bank in its adoptions for Iraq depends on a large number of important factors, foremost of which is the existence of a development plan for the next five years, which it prepared in a directed way for the development process in Iraq, through which the scattered development trends are limited to one correct direction.
Government Program
Bahiya promised the existence of a government program for the past years and the current year, with the ambition that achieves a large number of accomplishments, foremost of which is working to end the files of stalled projects, as their number has decreased by more than half, noting that this indicator is good for growth.
Economic Process
He noted that the stability of oil prices, even in light of the unstable political and security atmosphere in the Middle East and the world, where prices range between 70 and 80 dollars per barrel, encourages the continuation of the economic process in the country, as the Iraqi economy depends on oil for 95 percent of its capabilities and revenues.
He pointed out that the current policies in the field of combating corruption and returning looted and smuggled funds outside Iraq are important, especially if these funds are used to create an advanced industrial, agricultural and service base that will move the country
in the right direction.
Advanced ranks
Economic researcher Suhad Al-Shammari explained to "Sabah" that the International Monetary Fund reports confirm that Iraq has advanced ranks in the Arab world in terms of expected economic growth, amounting to 4 percent, outperforming Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Algeria, Jordan and Qatar. "
The right planning
Al-Shammari attributed the reason for this to the role of the state and the current government in proper management and planning to enhance the growth of the economic sector and protect the local market from the economic fluctuations that are sweeping the region, in addition to providing the requirements of the Iraqi citizen from social welfare salaries and a food basket, which made a clear difference in protecting the local market from exchange rate fluctuations. She added that the investment and service projects that began with the government program and directly with the current government by launching them and the international conferences in which it participated, including the Munich and Riyadh conferences, have returned Iraq to the global platform.
Foreign investments
She added that Iraq is an important geopolitical player, possessing the potential to secure foreign investments and joint cooperation between the Iraqi and foreign private sectors, stressing that the country is capable of finding a substitute for oil and has all the solid economic components, as evidenced by the efforts of most countries to contribute to important projects, including the development project, which is a qualitative shift in the Iraqi economy.
