AL-Nusairi Calls On The Media To Be Patriotic, Transparent And Supportive Of The National Economy
Money and business Economy News – Baghdad Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi called for economic media to be national, specialized, accurate, honest and transparent in diagnosing economic problems and imbalances, and to be a real and supportive contributor in proposing solutions and treatments to the supervisory and regulatory government bodies, and not to be a media that is satisfied with directing criticism and accusations without relying on accurate and transparent sources and information.
Al-Nusairi pointed out that the economic analysis of those called analysts or experts should be realistic and committed to reaching accurate information from reliable sources so that the government and its economic institutions can benefit from it for the purposes of diagnosis, treatment and accountability.
Al-Nusairi warned against some non-economic media (or non-specialized media) that have recently promoted and analyzed incorrect news that is tainted with lack of credibility and fallacies in transmitting and analyzing the news according to specific visions,
intentionally or unintentionally, that harm the course of economic, financial and banking reform, disrupt the movement of monetary and commodity trading in the local market, and hinder the efforts of the government and the Central Bank in achieving the goals set to achieve the desired reform steps,
stressing that the non-committed media contributes to adding another problem that affects the nerve of the Iraqi economy in addition to the challenges that the country and the region are currently suffering from, which is creating a state of economic instability and fluctuations in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar and the rise in the prices of basic and necessary goods and materials such as food and medicine.
He pointed out that it is necessary here for media workers in all its fields and analysts who roam satellite channels and lack experience and intent to realize that specialized economic media has an important and fundamental role in creating economic stability and goes beyond that to contributing to economic reform and enabling and assisting the concerned state agencies and institutions to control economic problems and spread economic culture and avoid failure cases because economic media must be national economic media in word and meaning.
Al-Nusairi explained that media and economy are in a multi-faceted and permanently related partnership, and they are on the same front to face the challenges they face together, and if we assume that the economy can create successful media, then it is certain that the media can also create a successful economy, and this is what results in the success of the media institution if it has specialized economic leaders who are aware of the role of national media.
Iraq's experience in this field is considered modern, as the economy needs support and assistance in promotion, analysis, planning and support in order to deliver a distinguished media message to the audience, whether through the press, television, radio, or modern media and communication channels.
Al-Nusairi concluded by saying:
“Therefore, the economic media that can deliver a purposeful message and serve the economy and economic institutions is the one that attracts an important segment of society. It will remain and continue and achieve the strategic goals of supporting the national economy and developing the work of productive, financial and banking institutions.
The economic media must undertake positive participation in the process of development and economic reform by presenting an image of the nature of the future trends of the economy and identifying economic and development activities and events and available energies and encouraging and stimulating the economy and investment.”
