and began to work symposium of approving the minister that the sons and the reconstruction of Iraq without touches the private sector, this goal is enshrined in the Constitution of Iraq, which passed several paragraphs in this direction.
the challenges of the implementation of projects
and the Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing brocade thorns was the closest in identifying the challenges facing the ministry, including the imposition of the need to enter the private sector in implementation, and reviewed the budget ministry which he said they do not meet the goals and aspirations of the Ministry in the foot on the implementation of mega projects that awaited the country.
corporate finance
, said that the shifts in the country requires us to work continued to impose a corporate finance as well as suffering from the challenges of other large and this prompted the Authority advisers in the Cabinet to that calls for the financing of these companies and their support or being converted into joint stock companies, in addition to that the ministry is working through the seminars to the love of efforts with the private sector which has the expertise and good potential, pointing to the need to push for legislation legal for these companies and the merger or union.

allocations miserable
initially reviewed the undersecretary of the ministry allocations of the Ministry for the year 2012, amounting to 875 billion dinars, and said that this amount represents less than (1 percent) of the needs of the ministry to implement their own projects infrastructure of roads, bridges, project buildings for housing and through the review of thorns, the ministry's plan emerged as the major challenges faced by the ministry when He said that the budget of the Ministry and Albalqh 875 billion dinars, not enough to the role expected by the companies, ministries, specialized technical, pointing out what has happened in these companies from loss of most of the Hardware implementation of mega projects with the survival of an accepted part of the angel specialized technical engineers and technicians known for their potential in the implementation of projects.
brain drain and capital

thorns mentioned the importance of creating bridges of trust between the ministries and private sector companies and support to take its role in the construction and investment, adding that the ministry had not received any government support, but managed their potential modest recovery activity of its own by investing in its human resources of engineers and technicians.
assigned the ministries of non-specialist to the implementation of projects is very important
Thistle drew attention to the phenomenon is correct when he referred to the commissioning ministries is not related to the construction sector, for example education, environment, immigration, immigrants and others to implement their own projects while marginalizing the Ministries of Construction and Housing is involved in the implementation of strategic projects in accordance with the objectives of its establishment, this error led to block the implementation of projects. He was supposed to do all ministries identify their projects and then assign the Ministry of Construction and Housing having jurisdiction to implementation.
the private sector a genuine partner
in the meantime, said Minister of Construction and Housing that the State is unable to promote the project without the private sector, has no possibility that the adoption of something as long as the totalitarian mentality earlier in control of the government departments which does not believe in the private sector despite the fact that the Constitution assigned to this trend.
Contractors Tarion on the profession
Darraji disclosed with full transparency and disclosure of the reasons for the reluctance of the implementation of projects in the country and attributed to several reasons, starting from the assignment of contracts to people who Tarin and not with the experience and competence, and placed the the blame on the agency responsible for granting identities of the contractors and classified according to the degree of well-known internationally and this mess is deepened corruption in public administration.
delayed allocations and advances
The second challenge, according to Darraji delay in allocations pay the ministry a lack of commitment to these advances contractors good and what is reflected in the performance and the delay in implementation and sometimes to foul and rejected entirely due to fluctuations in prices, which reflected on the loss of the contractor and the employer also called on to deal clearly and constructively with business owners, because the private sector a genuine partner in building the country and urged the private sector to the need to push for the issuance of laws and legislation supportive and modify the rest of them in this direction.
an invitation to reconsider the law of commercial agency
the minister pointed to Article 14 of the law regulating commercial agencies that warn dealing with local agents in this case and in order to get the machines and different equipment must rely on the agent of Jordan and the UAE without the Iraqi and this cost large to be borne by the state and you can imagine the size of challenges. In the meantime, student president Business Council in his speech the Minister to seek to amend the law 22 and that allows the public sector departments in partnership with private companies of Iraq in order to give the private sector a role in the construction and reconstruction and promised to work to adopt this proposal.
7 of the committees to achieve the required reforms
of these propositions provoked the representative body advisers d. Hamid Anbari who participated in the seminar and expressed his surprise at the lack of request to the competent authority to amend the laws to achieve the required reforms.
He will work the advisers with the Ministry of Construction and Housing to the inclusion and presentation of the law 22 on the relevant committee and modified to allow the private sector the opportunity to partner with public sector companies as well as Article (14) of the Act (21) concerning commercial agencies.
sustain projects

And so back to work contexts correct to ensure the safety of projects and sustainability throughout their useful life.

construction and classification of contractors
in the intervention to the Minister of Construction and Housing criticized during which the performance of the sector Special, which was founded after 2003, pointing out that contracting construction sector that require technical skills and high potential modern technology entered into each of the bear is offended to the profession the task and blamed on a circle classification of contractors to put strict controls and binding and called for a review of the Commission in Ministry of Planning and the formation of a competent authority for this purpose.
call for the establishment of joint stock companies and mixed
in the meantime came the intervention an economic advisor in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Shonia and called through to the establishment of companies, according to Law 21, which allows the establishment of joint stock companies and mixed, pointing to the importance of establishing a construction company joint private and public sectors and international companies for the implementation of development projects provinces.
assessment documents the central indents private banks successful
intervention the other came from the Chairman of Ashur International Bank for Investment and Wadi Handal and response in which the indictment of Iraqi private banks dragging its feet and said can not be calculated error bank or two at the expense of 37 banks, pointing to the existence of an assessment of the private banks by the Central Bank indicate the strength of the gravity of these banks, allowing to deal with the problem of some banks lagging summed to grant letters of guarantee is not guaranteed and the people who are not trusted them and the reply came from one of those concerned that the assessment documents did not happen and replied, bitter melon for Apple occurred by the Central Bank in 2011.
If there is to say it must be emphasized that such economic forums are particularly helpful was characterized by high level of transparency and clarity of the constraints, proposals and solutions and we find it important to call for the continuation of such seminars to enhance the processes of economic reform and change is required.
