Parliament Supports The Government's Investment Plans

Wednesday April 28, 2021  57  Baghdad: Farah Al-Khafaf   The Parliamentary Economic Committee announced its support for the government's direction in the investment file and its revitalization.

These developments came at a time when a real estate expert expected an urban renaissance after the decisions of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi. The Economic and Investment Committee, headed by MP Ahmed Salim Al-Kinani, recently hosted the head of the National Investment Commission, Suha Al-Najjar. During the meeting, they reviewed the progress of work in the authority, in addition to discussing a number of important investment projects.

Al-Kinani confirmed that "the Economic and Investment Committee supports the government's intention to withdraw investment licenses," calling on the Investment Authority to study the files of lagging investment licenses and follow the legal contexts against violators according to the applicable investment law.

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi had directed the cancellation of licenses for investment projects whose completion rate ranged between (0-35%) and the time period available for their implementation has expired, as the number of projects to which this applies is 1,128 projects, with full commitment to implementing the provisions of Article 28 of the Investment Law During the forwarding of warnings for unfinished projects. "

Vacations Withdrawal

Al-Kinani said: "The committee has previously called for the Investment Authority to withdraw the investment licenses that have been lagging for a long time, and no progress has been made in its projects based on the investment law that imposed penalties and fines against violators, including the withdrawal of the investment license." Noting that "the cancellation of the investment license is not related to the end of the period of implementing the project itself, and it has not been started. Rather, the cancellation of the license is done according to the violations stipulated in the Investment Law."

Specified timings

Al-Kinani also indicated that "there must be specific timings that government agencies adhere to, which would facilitate the investment process, starting from granting licenses to approving designs and other operational procedures that government agencies adhere to. In return, there must be a commitment by the investor." "In completing the project according to the specified times, and imposing legal procedures on the right of the lagging investor in the absence of a real excuse for delaying work."

An investment renaissance

In the same context, the expert in the field of reconstruction, Saad Al-Zaidan, expected a revolution or a major investment renaissance after the government's decisions.

Al-Zaidan told Al-Sabah: “Al-Kazemi's directives will contribute to moving incomplete projects and will cancel more than a thousand lagging projects, which will lead to the entry of new active investors, whether local or foreign, especially with the provision of a new investment map and areas of vast lands.”

Labor market

He continued: "If the prime minister's directives are properly invested, then we expect tens or hundreds of new projects to be announced for investment, which will result in moving the labor market and providing thousands of job opportunities."

It is noteworthy that the President of the National Investment Commission, Suha al-Najjar, had promised in a previous statement to "Al-Sabah", directing the Prime Minister to cancel all licenses for investment projects whose completion rate ranged between (0-35%) and the time available for their implementation had expired.
