🏛️ Ministry of Planning: Key Highlights from the 2023–2028 Development Strategy

The Iraqi Ministry of Planning is taking a decisive turn away from oil dependency, focusing its latest five-year planon activating non-oil revenues and ensuring projects directly benefit citizens.


🔑 1. Plan Structure & Vision:


💼 2. Diversifying the Economy:

The ministry is actively shifting toward non-oil sectors, including:

  • 🌾 Agriculture

  • 🏭  Industry

  • 🏖️ Tourism

  • 💰 Tax reform to improve and expand domestic revenue

“We must reduce the impact of both global and local variables by diversifying revenue sources.” – Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi


🧱 3. Prioritizing Essential Services:

The government will prioritize projects based on:

  • Service urgency (sewage, water, schools)

  • Spatial/development gaps between governorates

  • Strategic sectors like education, roads, industry, and agriculture

📍Example:

  • If a governorate lacks sewage systems → Sewage projects get priority

  • Another governorate with water issues → Water projects prioritized


📌 4. Project Oversight & Implementation:

  • No project is executed without feasibility studies and inclusion in the national plan

  • Ministry follows up on:

    • Project progress

    • Deviations or errors

    • Issuing directives to fix delays

  • Coordination ongoing with ministries, governorates, and implementing companies


⚠️ 5. Challenges Noted:

  • Project delays often caused by:

    • Disputes between implementing firms and beneficiaries

    • Lack of coordination

    • Budget constraints

  • The ministry is actively intervening and coordinating to resolve bottlenecks


đź§  Bottom Line:

Iraq’s 2023–2028 plan signals a serious move toward economic reform — but success depends on real execution, inter-agency cooperation, and breaking free from oil dependency.
