Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani announced on Saturday that the national unemployment rate has dropped to 13 percent, attributing the progress to private sector growth and recent legislative reforms.
He emphasized the importance of the private sector in addressing societal challenges, especially unemployment, noting the role of the new Pension and Social Security Law, which ensures equal benefits for both public and private sector workers.
Sudani also stressed that the private sector still needs infrastructure support and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to backing locally manufactured goods.
