The Iraqi Central Bank adviser Walid Aidy said, in a statement on Sunday, that the austerity and fiscal deficit crisis resulted from low oil prices have ended and Iraq has overcome the financial crisis and the coming days are promising.
He added that Iraq will attract a lot of foreign investments as foreign international companies are competing to invest in the recovery of cities liberated from ISIS.
