Iraqi economy “grows in post- Bin Laden era”
Erbil, Two Iraqi lawmakers anticipated after Osama Bin Laden’s death the economy of the Middle East countries in general and Iraq in particular will boost.
The US President Barak Obama announced Monday morning that Bin Laden, the leader of the militant organization of al-Qaeda, was killed during a US attack in northern Pakistan.
Abdul-Hussein Yaseri, a deputy in the finance parliamentary committee, told AKnews Bin Laden’s death will reassure the investors and encourages them to put their assets in Middle East.
“Terrorism” has spooked the capitalists and prevented them from launching any considerable investment in Iraq, but after the death of al-Qaeda leader “we expect a rise in investment in Iraq and some countries in the Middle East.”
Bin Laden’s organization is responsible for most of the insurgent attacks carried out across Iraq and Afghanistan.
Haydar ‘Abadi, another member of finance committee, expected in the post-Bin Laden era “the Middle East countries, including Iraq, will host a higher number of tourists.”
He, too, anticipated a faster influx of investors into the country as their fear “has declined.”
