Sparky   '''do like the talk of the dysfunction, because of delay in reforms...thanks Zig for Kap's article...Third: Solutions

First: Fighting and preventing corruption, as no step toward economic reform can be taken unless the disease of corruption is truly addressed out of courtesy and media statements.

Second: Working on the issue of social transformation so that the community receives the new system, interacts with it and gains its effects, as economic progress cannot take place in light of the community’s reluctance to receive the new system and interact with it.

Third: The clarity of the economic vision, meaning that the economic vision must be clear to the decision-makers in order to ensure that the reform steps proceed in the correct direction represented by the market economy.

Fourth: Paying attention to the legislative aspect through legislating laws with economic dimensions, as mentioned above.
