He added that "attractive offers were made to the exporters, by giving ten percent of the invoice value free of charge, in support of the Iraqi exporter, as our goal is not only to export, but to make the transfer in Iraqi banks, and to provide hard currency."
He pointed out that "the Council of Ministers previously issued a decision to make the export absolute, but we were surprised to stop exporting most of the materials due to the existence of laws that contradict the decision."
He explained that “when traders started exporting, they were surprised to stop exporting gravel, aluminum industries, etc., as we must take sectoral approvals, after which export is allowed, in addition to the existence of laws issued in previous years that prevent the export process, and therefore we must present a proposed law to the Council of Ministers and ratify it. And it is sent to the House of Representatives and presented for the first reading and the second after which a decision is issued.
