A study of monopoly domains in the public sector in Iraq

Abstract

This research paper aims to review some aspects of the public sector's monopoly and dominance over economic activities, which makes it impossible to achieve real investment. To achieve this goal, descriptive analysis was relied upon by relying on data from official bodies and analyzing the structure of the public and private sectors and the most prominent they practice. The paper concluded that the shortcomings lie in the existence of a large number of economic activities monopolized   by the state, which represent brakes on the investment process and real growth. Accordingly, the most important thing we recommend is the necessity of fully striving for a full partnership between the public and private sectors in accordance with existing legislation and determining the aspects assigned to each side to prevent monopoly and support competition that enhances access to the market economy
