In the midst of interactions and movement toward a stable and work to translate the visions and ideas to the construction projects and construction, as it is known that governments work for the prosperity of the national economy because the engine to the wheel of politics is not only,

It appears that the determination of Iraq had worked successfully, and generate the new Iraqi government towards the implementation of its economic program, which is tantamount to the masses of the economic programs of the blocks announced by the Iraqi government will be the next upcoming workshop.

What we want to say here today that the Iraqi economy needs to extraordinary efforts to upgrade it, through the activation of the Investment Law No. 13 of 2006 and the First Amendment it. Eight of the national economy of Iraq has several qualifications in the private sector of Iraq, which must embrace and work, it seems that the Kurdistan regional government has succeeded in this matter and we hope the new central government that embraces the Iraqi private sector and work on integration for business and the progress of reconstruction, because Logic dictates that the fact that foreign investment outside alone will not move the Iraqi market, and therefore we need to give a boost and a real incentive for the Iraqi private sector in order to stimulate the local market.

Add to this the success of economic forums within and outside Iraq, has worked to provide the appropriate climate for business development partnerships between the Iraqi private sector and regional and foreign companies a way to move the potential and capabilities of the private sector that need to be techniques of contemporary big capital and this will only come through partnerships with international companies.

That what we want from the Iraqi central government and local governments within the auspices of the Iraqi economy, provincial programs, promotional actions to move the joints and segments of the Iraqi economy.

So what we want we are now saying we need to intensify efforts toward a national economy that is working to maximize the economic programs aimed at achieving the integration of national economy productive and effective.
