Money and business Economy News _ Baghdad The Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee will hold its consultative session next week to discuss the partnership law between the private and public sectors, indicating that the law’s obstacles include how to preserve the state’s assets and separate them from the investor or partner, while confirming that the passage of the law will eliminate 50% of unemployment.
Committee member Nada Shaker Jawdat said in an interview with Al-Sabah newspaper, which was seen by Al-Iktissad News, that the bill contains many obstacles that hinder its legislation. Among them is how to clearly guarantee the rights of the state and separate them from the rights of the investor, indicating that it is possible to use the laws of successful partnership in force in the countries of the world, as “partnership” must depend on whether the investor or partner of the state has a specialization.
