Al-Jubouri: Encouraging the diversification of Iraq's resources does not mean going for staff salaries

Speaker of Parliament Saleem al-Jubouri said on Monday that encouraging the diversion of Iraq's resources does not mean going for the salaries of employees and retirees, stressing the need to look for other sources to boost income.

"Iraq should not rely solely on fixed oil resources, but there should be encouragement to the private sector in a clear and frank way," Jubouri told a news conference in Baghdad attended by the economy news.

"The diversification of Iraq's resources and the encouragement of the private sector does not mean also going to cut the salaries of employees and retirees, but must be maintained and look for other outlets we can boost the income."
