Baghdad, May 12 (Aknews) - The outgoing Iraqi government welcomed the Framework Agreement signed with the United Nations in the areas of economy and rebuilding its infrastructure that will contribute to the recovery of the economic situation in the country.

"The agreement done with the United Nations insists on activating the economic role of the international system that would contribute in the recovery of the economic situation that will push Iraq to get rid of the restrictions imposed on it by Chapter 7," the economic adviser of the Cabinet’s advisers committee, Salam al-Quraishi has said today.

"There is a real problem facing the Iraqi economy, the international community is still apprehensive of dealing with it due to Chapter 7."

"If the agreement was activated, the United Nations will play a prominent role in the progress of infrastructure and economic growth in Iraq", he added.

The outgoing Iraqi government signed with the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, “UNAMI,” an agreement by virtue of which the UNAMI contributes in building service sectors and improves the environmental situation and protection of human rights, as well as promoting good governance and economic growth.

The deputy special representative of the UN Secretary-General Christina MacNab said in news conference that she "will work to develop the Iraqi economy through the development of practical mechanisms for the advancement of economic situation in the country."
