Baghdad / Al-Ghad Press:

A member of the Board of Trustees of the Information and Communication Authority Ashraf Al-Dahan said Tuesday that the telecommunications sector continues to grow and achieve revenues and contribute to the gross national income, indicating that the government aspires to export the global indicators of the sector among the countries of the region.

"The telecommunications sector continues to grow, achieve revenues and contribute to the total national income of the Iraqi state, despite the decline in revenues in several countries in the region and the world," Al-Dahan said in a statement received by Al-Ghad Press on the sidelines of his participation in the Arab Organization for Information and Communication Technology "The development of the sector and its growth comes within the strategy of the Information and Communications Authority and under the direct supervision of the Iraqi government, which aspires to export the global indicators of the sector among the countries of the region as ICT is the driving force of the economic development of any country."

"There are strong efforts to achieve many achievements in the sector and at different levels, but the current challenge in the telecommunications sector is to provide infrastructure that serves the government and national economy," he added.

He pointed out that "the Commission is in full and direct contact with the licensed telecommunications service providers, to ensure that the sector continues to grow and the absence of damage related to the development of the sector on the one hand and on investment projects that are implemented for the future on the other."

"Investment in telecommunications infrastructure is very important, as it is very lucrative, and every increase in US $ in investments to support ICT infrastructure is offset by an increase of US $ 3 in current GDP growth rate and US $ 3.70 By the year 2020 to jump the ratio in 2025 to $ 5.
