​The calls for the need to adopt a package of economic reforms to contribute to the restructuring of the Iraqi economy and to respond to the pressures facing it, in the context of the accumulation of imbalances, as a result of the policies of wars and siege, which lasted for several decades, in addition to the consequent national economy of debt burdens.
The Economist Muzaffar Hosni, called for working to achieve total stability in the economy by reducing the external debt of Iraq and re-scheduling, reduce government support and stabilize the dinar exchange rate, and control inflation rates and reduce unemployment rates, and find new sources of public revenues accompanied by the reform of the tax system in  
Iraq. 
He pointed to the need to pave the way for the transition to a market economy by reducing the support of oil derivatives and ration card and the development of the social protection network, pointing out that this would achieve social justice in distribution, restructuring the public sector and make way for the private sector to exercise its business in economic activity. 
Hosni said that achieving these goals contributes to reducing the budget deficit rates, which the International Monetary Fund demand mainly for its impact on aggregate demand, and then its impact on debt reduction.
The Iraqi economy suffers many problems in its production and service sectors, which have exacerbated the problems in many joints that need great efforts to restore life. 
He said general and private production processes in Iraq had changed direction after 2003 in the economy, adding that the duration of international sanctions in the 1990s also led to a decline in production for most sectors that could be tax-financed. 
"Reducing the deficit should be by cutting government spending, which starts from restricting operating spending to government investment, in return for expanding domestic and foreign private investment. 
He pointed out that reducing the government deficit is difficult to achieve by raising public revenues by activating the tax system with its current structure, which is not commensurate with the Iranian trend.

 Twilight News / Kurdistan Regional Government decided to postpone the late completion of the companies and individuals for three months, attributed to the mechanism of the system of direct deduction of imports of employees and companies.

 The tax law was passed by the private sector in 2011 and has been in effect since that date. However, since April this year, changes have been made to the mechanism of tax collection in a way that the companies' budget was submitted to the General Directorate of Taxes within one year in order to meet taxes. The salaries of employees are directly taxed, but today the changes have been made every three months instead of one year. However, if any company is delayed, it is penalized by increasing the tax rate by 5 percent. If it is too late, the tax is doubled.

 According to decree No. (2617) on the Council of Ministers of the region signed by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, it was decided to postpone the benefits of delays in the payment of taxes on the income of workers in the private sector from the end of the first financial period on 21 April 2017 until 21 July 2017.
According to the official book, reference was made to the reasons for the decision which are the changes made to the mechanism of direct interpolation system.

The decision to raise taxes on private sector salaries is implemented until April 21, 2017 and includes all companies.

There are more than 3,000 foreign companies in Kurdistan and 23,000 local companies operating in different sectors.

Abadi used the same scenario in the process of replacing the government cab, but he stumbled a lot before he could change less than half the government and keep three ministries vacant so far. 
The prime minister was delayed by three years, before announcing last week that he would open the application for private positions in those institutions.

MP Rasul Abu Hasna, a member of the Dawa Party, said that "the government will begin to receive the names of candidates for the presidency of independent bodies on the first of next September."

Here we have to activate the issue of loans in the country and its adoption in the activation of development projects and service lagging whether local or foreign loans, especially that the investment law No. 13 of 2010 and its amendments and support the Iraqi investor soft loans to operate the local workforce and the size of the loan obtained.
If we started the housing sector, the housing project loans were not economically viable because they were given individually need to cost, although the amount of up to 35 million Iraqi dinars often reach the beneficiary often, and if these investments in housing projects, the economic feasibility was better than Through the production of integrated residential units and services necessary as well as maintain the basic design of the city, and reduce corruption in projects. 
Thus, we must work in different directions to know what is required by the current and future stage in order to create an effective national economy capable of promoting all sectors of service and productivity.
