Multilateral cooperation between the Kurdish political parties is crucial to help the reform package

ERBIL — Kurdistan Region is aiming to become an integral part of the global economy through its recent reforms, says Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Spokesperson.

Safin Dizayi, the official spokesperson for KRG, said in an interview with The New Mail that Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani is sparing no efforts to improve the situation in the region and help Kurdistan occupy a prominent economic place in the Middle East.

Kurdistan is trying to create a private sector and a middle class over time, we are trying to change the public sector to private sector, Dizayi said. To achieve the goal, KRG gets support from most experienced institutions in the world, including the World Bank and Rand Institute.

Dizayi insists that a multilateral cooperation between the Kurdish political parties is crucial to help the drastic reforms succeed and bring about fundamental reforms at KRG’s administration and economic levels.

Earlier in February this year, Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani introduced a reform package to fight corruption and improve the financial, economic and administrative situation in the region.

Following Barzani’s order, Kurdistan Region’s Integrity Commission detained several officials, including the head of Kurdistan Region Central Bank, his deputy and many others, for being involved in corruption.
