Planning Offers A Short-Term Alternative... The Five-Year Plan Is Nearing Completion And Its Effects Are Absent!
Posted On2022-10-13 By Sotaliraq Baghdad / Hussein Hatem The five-year development plan is approaching its end at the end of this year, as set by the Ministry of Planning (2018-2022), and the ministry has begun to develop a short-term plan of three economic, social and spatial axes to address the financial crisis.
The five-year development plan is financed according to the budget strategy and its quantitative objectives, according to government officials, while specialists believe that the five-year plans are passing without achieving tangible results on the ground, calling for a change of the authorities and personalities that draw up the plans.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul-Zahra Al-Hindawi, said, “Iraq is in the last year of the five-year plan, which was set from 2018-2022, and we have started preparing to write the third development plan 2023-2028.”
Al-Hindawi added, "Our ministry headed towards three axes and basic plans, as a result of the conditions that Iraq went through after 2020 due to the Corona pandemic, and the financial crisis took the five-year plan off some of its tracks, and in order to address it, we developed a short-term plan for two years from 2022-2023."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Planning explained that “the first axis relates to the economic aspect, which talks about supporting the economy in its various sectors and supporting investment and the private sector,” noting that “the second axis is social and includes addressing the reality of health, education, social protection, and the ration card.”
Al-Hindawi pointed out that “the third axis is spatial, which is concerned with bridging the development gaps in the governorates within the vision map set by the ministry,” pointing to “the distribution of tasks to ministries, independent bodies and the governorates to implement the policies and programs stated in the plan.”
For his part, the Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said, “The basic and main criterion that the government adopts in drawing up economic policy is the five-year development plan,” stressing that it is “the tool and pattern that indicates essential goals, foremost of which is the people’s happiness and well-being.”
Saleh added, "The five-year development plan is funded according to the budget strategy and its quantitative objectives, whose estimates extend to at least three years, and are renewed annually on a continuous basis with the mechanisms for preparing the annual federal budget and its legislation, as investment projects are divided sectorally according to fundamental criteria, the most important of which is the amount of their contribution.
In the annual economic growth, which is indicated by the development plan, and according to the priority of the investment project in achieving economic diversification and sectoral integration, and its ability to operate human energies and various other local capabilities and resources, and their humanitarian necessities without neglecting their geography, which should touch the most disadvantaged areas in the country.
In turn, the economic expert Salam Sumaisem says, "The successive governments have developed many five-year plans and projects over the past years at different levels," adding, "But in reality, there are no such projects and plans, but we hear about these plans in the media only."
Sumaisem added, "The country has approached poor countries in several aspects, especially since the Ministry of Planning announced some time ago that the fifth-degree employee is one of the groups that live below the poverty line," noting that "some governorates where poverty rates have reached a high rate that exceeds or approaches the 50 percent.”
The economic expert asked, "What is the point of such plans and projects without achieving anything of them on the ground?" And the personalities who make such plans do not actually implement it.”
Iraq has achieved a large financial surplus since the beginning of this year, due to the rise in international oil prices to 130 dollars per barrel and their stability at the 100 dollars barrier, in addition to the repayment of Kuwait’s debts, as it was deducting an amount of 5-7 million dollars per day to pay compensation, in addition to the decision of the Organization OPEC raised the country's oil export ceiling by more than 400,000 barrels per day, which is added to the total revenues.
