The UN Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for Arab States, Abdullah Al-Dardari, announced on Wednesday details of bilateral talks with Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, confirming that the government is adopting economic reforms based on digitalization and combating corruption.
Al-Dardari told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "During our meeting, Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi presented a vision for addressing the Iraqi economy. He spoke about economic institutions operating according to a real economic model and combating corruption to revitalize the Iraqi economy."
He continued: "The Prime Minister also discussed automating and digitizing the Iraqi economy and public institutions, and developing the financial system to attract and mobilize financial resources, particularly Arab and foreign private investment, to operate in Iraq."
He pointed out that "local development was discussed, including in Sinjar district, to achieve economic and social stability for its residents, in addition to achieving economic stability in the liberated areas that have been reconstructed, as these areas are facing an economic crisis due to the absence of effective economic activity and the failure to establish companies and economic entities."
