Setting A Date For The Completion Of The Land Bank In Iraq

Construction and building  Economy News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Construction, Housing and Public Municipalities, in coordination with the Ministry of Water Resources, will complete the land bank during the coming year to be a central authority that can be relied upon to acquire land for various projects and future investments.

The official spokesman for the Ministry of Construction, Istibraq Sabah, said that his ministry, represented by its management, the Supreme Committee for Lands, has begun since the beginning of this year to prepare the necessary requirements and supplies to establish a land data management center after obtaining the approval of the Council of Ministers to do so, in order to be a reliable entity that can be relied upon to obtain the lands needed for projects, infrastructure, and various investments.

He pointed out that the Supreme Committee for Land Management in the country has reached advanced stages in establishing it, stressing that it will be fully completed and put into service during the coming year, noting that it will be affiliated with the Ministry of Water Resources since the maps of the lands are available with the General Authority for Survey.

In the same context, Sabah explained that work is underway to complete the requirements for equipping it with the computer supplies, electronic systems and software that must be available for the center to operate, in addition to an engineering and technical staff trained to manage it, as it will adopt a unified smart system for inventorying and managing lands and determining ownership and use.

He stated that the main objective of its establishment is that the various governmental and investment agencies face a major challenge in obtaining information related to lands, as they are distributed among various land-owning entities, and therefore there is no single source to rely on in this area. He pointed out that the center will facilitate effective decision-making regarding land management, which will contribute to shortening the time and effort spent by various entities in obtaining lands.
