Economists call for financial reform facing challenges

 
The national economy is exposed from time to time to tremors that affect the revenues of the public budget, and today we live in a situation of sharp decline in global oil prices as a result of the lack of agreement to reduce production, between OPEC countries and the oil producing countries outside the organization led by the Russian Federation, as well as the repercussions of the Corona virus, which affected The effectiveness of the entire global economy.

 

Financial reform
Professor of Public Finance at the College of Administration and Economics at Baghdad University, Imad Al-Ani, said: "To address the current financial conditions properly, requires pursuing 👉 a policy of financial reform in a serious way, and by activating the tools of this reform, 👈 which is diversifying public revenues and controlling expenditures."


He added: "The financial reform process is one of the most important major steps for economic reform, especially in the Iraqi economy, as this process constitutes the main driving force for bringing about comprehensive economic and social reform as it is a basic and necessary requirement to build a society on sound foundations that focus on private economic activity and give it an opportunity to participate in Building Iraqi society. "

 
General revenue
Al-Ani focused on "the necessity of reforming the public revenue side, improving its collection and creating new ways to increase it. The most important paragraph in this aspect focuses on reforming the tax administration and its policies."
He continued: "It is important to emphasize that the policy of reforming the financial sector requires emphasizing the importance of linking financial policy and plans for economic development programs to reduce poverty, and this requires making the process of preparing the public budget based on general strategic directions linked in terms of the nature of the state's role in light of Market mechanisms in general and the role of financial policy in particular in managing the national economy.

 
Oil revenue
He pointed out, "There is a great distortion in the structure of public revenues, as it depends primarily on oil revenue and the survival of the unilateral budget structure for its dependence on oil revenues. Here, a clear strategy must be adopted to revitalize the industrial, agricultural and service production sectors, which can supply the general budget with diversified revenues." Enhances the capacity of the economy the National".


 
Rationalization of spending
He said: "Government spending represents a significant proportion of the total demand, and that trying to reduce and rationalize this spending will lead to the liberation of the government from large burdens that have been confusing its financial and economic activity and its role in providing public services and the level of satisfaction for public needs, in addition to that process leads to a reduction The public budget deficit, and thus the government can partially eliminate the size of the public debt, and the parameters of rationalization in government spending can be drawn through partial and gradual disposal of economic support borne by the government due to the existence of productive units in the public sector that do not operate according to standards or foundations Economic, making it an obstacle to any progress economic".


 He continued: "This will be through certain means, the most prominent of which is the liquidation of these units originally or selling them to the private sector, and this is done on a selective basis and working to manage them on economic grounds in order to achieve real profit, reducing the government’s entry into investment projects that the local private or foreign or joint private sector can It performs it, and that the role of public investment, that is, the government, is restricted to the areas related to building pivotal structures.
