Samson: The establishment of investment funds ... the first steps of the rise of Iraq economically
19th August, 2019 by Hussein Al Falouji
During the past fifty years, Iraq has experienced significant economic fluctuations that could have been positively invested if the means and tools for advancement were available at that stage.
The discovery of oil early and in large quantities and the increasing global demand for it and high prices and the decision of nationalization were great opportunities were not invested properly by the Iraqi state, which reflected negatively on the political, economic and social reality. Perhaps one of the most important reasons for the loss of these opportunities is not to build solid institutions for the development of investments properly, which led to the Iraqi economy has become a distorted present.
The important question in this regard, is to remedy it. In my opinion, yes, it is possible to rectify the issue, but we need to be accurate in diagnosing the imbalance and courage in proposing the solution.
In a previous article, we personally and beyond any doubt, that the depth of the problems of Iraq is of an economic dimension, and stressed that abstract political solutions alone will not lift Iraq from its inaction, and according to this diagnosis, we must begin with solutions with an economic dimension.
After a large study of the situation of countries near Iraq, which had successful economic experiences, we found that the best step towards the predominance of economic solutions must begin with the establishment of a national sovereign and central followed by the establishment of a number of investment funds specialized development.
Without a sovereign fund to accumulate cash surpluses and channel them into sustainable development sectors, all other measures would be an absurd increase.
The first measure: begins with the formation of a higher committee whose task is to study the best international experiences in this area and what are the best legislation that organized those experiences.
A federal law is then enacted to create a national sovereign fund, followed by the establishment of a number of development investment funds with a clear development plan that includes the objectives and sectors to be promoted.
When reviewing the experiences of the countries that founded investment funds was not better than the case of Iraq at the moment of the establishment of those funds, but we will find that the difference has become a big difference between the reality of Iraq now and the reality of those countries.
