DinarThug Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 CNN. Broadcasting The Reality On The Ground While Passed Out On The Floor ! 2017/10/15 (00:01 PM) - 'The last chance to save Iraq from inevitable collapse d. Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi The Norwegian government has issued a ban on the sale of any new liquid-fuel vehicles (gasoline and gasoline) in Norway starting in 2025. Today, the proportion of new cars sold in Norway with liquid fuel is less than 50% (50% Batteries, hybrid cars with battery and liquid fuel), followed by the Netherlands with a similar decision to be applied in 2025 as well as France and Britain since 2040, but at the same time we discover that these countries are moving towards increasing the purchase of electric cars due to increased demand of citizens, The proportion of electric vehicles is estimated Gene purchased in France in the first half of the year 2017 about 25% of the cars. India has taken the same measure to be implemented in 2030. India's first motive is to increase air pollution from liquid fuel vehicles. Ten other countries have taken similar measures, such as Germany, Austria, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Japan, Korea and China, which now make up about 40% In the world; so far eight US states have taken similar action.The above dates are set by state governments, but what is the reality on the ground? The surprising fact is that the desire of people to purchase battery-powered cars and to charge electricity on the ground is much larger and faster than the legal deadlines set by their governments, because people are very much attracted to their advantages and low operating costs. In the price of a car powered by electricity, if we compare the example of the Tesla (TESLA), a luxury electric car and a car with the same capacity and specifications of liquid fuel, the cost of liquid fuel in Britain, for example, more than eight times the cost of But when the first electric car was produced five years ago it was priced at $ 150,000, and now the price of the car from the same brand, but from another brand new for 2017 about 35 thousand dollars, and became The car is the first in sales ratio in the US market. Japanese company Nissan has begun to manufacture electric cars and sell them for 30 thousand dollars, and the prospects for the possibility of manufacturing electric cars by many international companies at a price of about 20 thousand dollars, became feasible in two or three years, and therefore will be priced parallel to liquid fuel vehicles With a very simple operational cost, a person who wants to buy a car after two years from now has no reason to prefer the liquid fuel car (gasoline) to the electric car with these specifications and the low operating costs !!!Nearly all of the world's auto production plants have gone to produce electric cars, and many companies have decided to stop production of liquid-fueled vehicles only as a Swedish Volvo company that will stop manufacturing liquid-fueled cars alone from 2019.The electric vehicles, as well as being economical, have many other advantages, not to pollute the environment and the low cost of maintenance, and developed specifications compared to the specifications of electric cars that were manufactured in the past, so the process of shipping in one night enough to travel distance of 350 kilometers and can be shipped by chargers Which is located in public places near cafes and shopping centers around the world, where when shipped for half an hour it will be enough to walk more than 250 km, and can walk at speeds of about 250 km / h.As a result of these features, global economic reports point to expectations that all global automakers will shift from making liquid-fueled cars to electric cars only, and expect full change by 2025 as people in the future do not want to buy liquid-fueled vehicles for high operating costs He would like to review many of the global economic reports on this matter, such as the report of the British Telegraph newspaper:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/bus.....-report/ Economists are likened to buying a liquid fuel car in 2025 as a buyer in Today our Kodak camera depicts 20th century stage films. What is the reflection of this global reality on oil consumption and prices? Globally, about 68% of the world's oil is consumed as fuel for cars. This means that global oil consumption will fall by 2025 to less than 50% of current oil consumption. This also means that oil prices will fall sharply, Global outlook to a future price of between 15 and 25 dollars per barrel. How will Iraq's economic situation be in the near future?Because of the lack of export of Iraqi oil in half due to the lack of global demand as well as the drop in oil prices by half or a third of the current price, oil resources will shrink significantly, and will not be sufficient oil resources to pay a quarter of pensions of employees in the government sector; In taxes and fees you will not be able to cover this huge shortfall, and the wheel of investment and reconstruction will stop completely. In addition, the construction of the Alesso dam in Turkey will be completed and completed within a period of not more than two years. The Tigris River will be greatly reduced and will become increasingly salty. This is exacerbated, and this is a major concern. If you leave things on their faces. What is the solution?Global reports indicate that oil prices are stable and even partially raised until 2021-2022, four to five years from now, after which oil prices will drop abruptly and consumption will fall rapidly. When I was Minister of Communications, I submitted an integrated study in 2011 to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and sent copies to the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and all the governors in all governorates to develop the private sector and attract young people and graduates to work within their own projects and not rely on oil resources. But they have been neglected and nothing has been implemented other than the provision of concessional loans to the industrial and agricultural sectors by the Central Bank in 2015, but this will not be effective and achieves a real renaissance of the country if not within the integrated plan presented in my above study. In 2012, it agreed with Booz Allen, the global consultancy, to conduct an integrated study to develop the Ministry of Communications and identify the weaknesses and transform them into a joint profit organization as a mixed sector that will serve as an example to be followed by other ministries. The project of the Smart City, the project of the central cable connecting Europe and the East of the globe and generating a great profit. On the country, the project of gates of entry, which has earned the ministry more than 60 million dollars annually, and the project of important information centers in Baghdad and several other provinces, as well as the security project for the security of Baghdad and security of the Iraqi-Syrian border, but all these plans were neglected after the Ministry, These plans do not check for those responsible In more than one TV program at the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, I have been alerted to the increase in global oil production on global consumption, which means the fall in oil prices, based on World Bank reports and other global reports; oil prices have already fallen in mid-2014, But if there was a sense of responsibility from the rulers at that time, he would move to develop an economic policy to diversify sources of income to reduce dependence on oil, but to develop a practical and effective plan to build a solid economy that does not depend on oil, as so many countries in the world do not own oil ? I can confidently say that this would have been possible if the real intention, sincerity, efficiency and a well thought out economic plan were possible!In several television programs and articles published in the media in 2015 and 2016, she put forward solutions to how to put in place a sound monetary policy to reduce loans, but there was no sense of responsibility for those in charge. Iraq's debt to date is about $ 120 billion, Iraq is more than 60 billion dollars for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and now will owe more than 20 billion dollars for the year 2018, how will we pay these loans and their benefits ?! There are some defenders who claim that we will repay this debt from the rise of world oil prices! These statements are just fantasies, and unfortunately my talk in the valley and their hands take over things in another valley.This is not my own analysis, it is for global economic studies; yet we still have four to five years to set up an economic policy to diversify sources of income and not rely on The oil resources only, to promote the country industrial and agricultural and all other fields of production are many and can generate income to compensate for the budget deficit easily with the need to bring about a revival in the private sector and develop it and open the doors of foreign investment, but what I fear is not the existence of economic policy wrong and incorrect For the country, but e Unfortunately, they do not even understand the meaning or definition of the term "economic policy". We have not heard from them the features, plans and objectives to be achieved in order to formulate an economic policy. Sound and correct for the advancement of the country To get it out of the quagmire of the economic crises it is experiencing today and to save it from an unknown and dangerous future far more dangerous than the deteriorating economic reality we are living today. I can confidently say that it will be our last chance to save our country from inevitable collapse. link 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEPatriotsFan1 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Therefore, we call attention to those responsible for nominating and selecting representatives of delegations to achieve a balance in the right choice of the diverse business sector because the current stage can not wait but accelerate the investment of the situation in favor of building and developing the country.

Sage449 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 DT, I get the desire to move away from fossil fuel. What will be used to make electricity? Won't be coal, won't be fossil fuel - then what? Can't burn trees, don't want to use nuclear-powered, wind won't make enough. Just curious. Wondering what the tree huggers think how all this electricity is going to be produced. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarThug Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 From Bombs to Bytes: How Tech can Transform Iraq’s Economy One of the big hits at this year’s Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC) conference was the tech panel (pictured) with four leading Tech companies using tech to deliver their unique services: Zain Telco, launching Zain Cash, Restrata who offer cyber security to the traditional and emergent digital economy, and Gulftainer, the logistics to connect Iraq to the world of commerce and Inevert, a start-up tech investor. There is a clear appetite and ambition in youthful Iraq to connect with the modern world and repurpose the Iraqi economy. The digitisation of the Iraqi economy could usefully transform several objectives in one swoop and be a massive agent of positive change: Prime is the need to diversify the economy away from reliance on oil and gas. Iraq has plentiful supplies of oil but the price is volatile and the country still needs to find employment for millions of young people. Digitising the economy would not only provide hundreds of thousands of jobs, but connect the economy to the modern world virtually and in reality. A bi-product of tech will enable the rapidly growing young generation, who are numerate and tech friendly, to have engaging jobs and fulfil aspirations, instead of a distractive poverty and extreme ideologies. Secondly, Tech as a transactional mechanism also drives transparency, especially when money is concerned. Tech bypasses corruption: It’s no secret that Mastercard is seen as a benign influence in eradicating fraud and corruption in emerging economies. Likewise, Zain cash now offer online payments via Facebook for entrepreneurs to sell their products and services. Not only does this open up e commerce to millions of naturally entrepreneurial Iraqis, but also to people and markets in the wider region, along with options to pay for advertising and marketing support. All this without the need to pay middle men or bribes. Tech is ‘the agent’ of transparency, for the people and for government. Finally, Tech is an agent of cultural transformation and change – as people engage with each other in social media, collaborate in business, and young people learn from educational programs , as Maeve Walsh of UKs DCMS says, the UK Government conducts swathes of its civic, electoral and societal business via the internet. Likewise Iraq can transform government activity within the country, and ‘Iraq Tech’ can also change external perceptions of the country . What can make this happen? Much of the infrastructure is already in the country through the private sector: Zain telco and its Zain cash wallet- Restrata have the cyber tech to protect businesses and Omar Hussan of Inevert is eyeing opportunities for investment- along with Zain, who also intend building a tech hub in Baghdad. Clearly much more investment is required into the emergent start up economy, and despite availability of the free ‘Google skills,’ the government needs to embrace tech education, infrastructure and online transactions- but the private sector can already see entrepreneurial commerce as the driver of change. With a young and educated population of natural trading entrepreneurs, keen to get on with their lives, it’s only a matter of time before the country leapfrogs less liberal countries in the region. Iraq has been held back for too long, but now could be the time the dynamism of the people, their access to electronic platforms, and relative stability could be the trigger that pivots Iraq into a golden age of tech.
