At a seminar in Erbil the American-Kurdistan Friendship Association (AKFA) Wednesday assembled experts in a bid to search for answers to economic challenges the Kurdistan Region faces amid a war against the Islamic State (IS) and budget cuts from the federal government in Baghdad.
One of the event’s organizers, an AKFA board member and lawyer from the Kurdistan Legal Services Rejna Alaaldin sounded optimistic.
“Kurdistan has the capacity, experience, and political maturity to move forward and resolve its economic challenges,” Alaaldin told Kurdistan24 in a statement.
“More importantly, the crisis has forced the KRG to re-think its economic policies and adopt an economic model that is sustainable in the longer run and that, fundamentally, ensures the mistakes of the past are not repeated,” she concluded.
