second was related to implementation projects.

Commenting on the speech of Finance Minister Ali Allawi about the occurrence of varying percentages in the implementation of the white paper by the ministries of the state, Abdul Hussein said, "The disparity does not mean the inaction of parties, as there were problems in implementation that led to a decrease in its percentage in some ministries, and the total percentage of projects of the white paper reached Applied for 61% in terms of evaluating the targets, not the completion rate, six months after the application of the paper, which was launched as actual implementation on August 1, 2021.”

He added, "We in the Reform Management Cell have set timings for each target, and we ask the project implementing agency for its detailed plan every month to the end of the implementation stages.
A report is sent at the end of each month on what has been implemented, and a team is sent by us to determine what has already been accomplished."
He pointed out that "the main objective of the white paper is to reform the state's finances and the financial and economic procedures in it through its various ministries,
which leads to the development of the economy to make it a job-creating economy with the aim of contributing to solving the unemployment crisis and providing additional income."
