Central Bank announces the establishment of a joint lending fund to fund important projects
Central Bank announces the establishment of a joint lending fund to fund important projects

 Baghdad / Zahraa al-Jassim 

The Central Bank announced the establishment of a joint lending fund with a capital of 500 billion dinars, and according to the Banking Law, this fund can grant a 10% loan to finance the infrastructure projects of the country, an expert confirms that the idea is open to a number of banks and banking experts eight years ago, but the entry of the central to apply now, It should give it momentum and strength of lending, provided that the process of lending from the lenders and brokers and routine, and half of its members from the private sector to start new methods of easy to lend without complications or extortion.

The adviser to the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Walid Eide, said in an interview with the press, that the Central Bank established the joint lending fund with a capital of 500 billion dinars to finance projects that develop infrastructure, noting: The Banking Act allows the bank to grant a loan of 10% of capital as a result of the challenges facing The economy because of the security situation and the weakness of the guarantees provided. He pointed out that the Central Bank decided to establish a joint lending fund with a capital of 500 billion dinars, which can be increased and with compulsory participation from all commercial banks, explaining that each bank will contribute to the capital of the Fund by 4 billion dinars. 

"The loans that will be granted by the Lending Fund are related to the development of infrastructure such as the establishment of hotels and hospitals, financing the government's dilapidated projects and the construction of schools and others," he said, stressing that the interest of the Lending Fund would be very small compared to market interest. On the one hand loan. 

According to the expert on economic affairs, in the name of Antoine in an interview with (range), that this idea was presented by a number of banks and banking experts more than eight years ago, the establishment of a lending fund shared by all Iraqi banks with a joint capital to activate investment in Iraq But the idea remained a dead letter and was not implemented. However, today, when the central bank enters into this process, it must give it momentum and strength to lend to many companies that can choose projects that create job opportunities for the unemployed and reduce the poverty rate. It is also one of the means of financing especially that the bank Focus previously allocated five trillion dinars amount to the industry, agriculture and housing. 

Antoine confirms that the lesson is not in the allocation of funds, but in the tools of implementation, because we did not see the movement to the required level, especially in the industrial sector, where the previous lending process had very difficult conditions, and now we can see the same situation, but we hope that the process After the completion of the selection of members of the fund and money, is to start new methods of lending without complications and routine, because without it we will see this idea dead, because in Iraq we have a problem is the gap between planning and implementation, and the rampant financial and administrative corruption is also a handicap and obstruction, not to mention the bureaucracy And routine utilities For the process of extinction. 

In the case of this lending fund, there is a major obstacle. Who will manage this fund? Will a government administration also have the same process of red tape or will it be shared by private banks? There should be a hand for the private sector through a board of directors, half of which will be from the private sector. To facilitate the process and obstacles and reduce the complexities and freedom, it is a sound step if the monitoring and follow-up and the selection of people appropriate to this process, and can provide something important and solve part of the economic problems of the country, but we must keep this fund on the file of corruption and hegemony for the presence of people trying parasites Blackmail We should also issue a law in the fund called the Lending and Financing Law, so that there will be a nucleus for this process, including selecting the appropriate fund managers to witness the success of the idea. 

Iraq has about 70 banks licensed by the Central Bank and their capital is more than 11.7 trillion dinars, which gave the banks operating in Iraq, government and private loans more than 37 trillion dinars, according to data issued by the Association of Iraqi private banks.

More than $ 100 billion is the cost of reconstructing the liberated areas according to the estimates of the Ministry of Planning; Iraq in general needs more funds to sustain the infrastructure that stopped expansion and renewal since the eighties of the last century; the cost of our right to modern economic system and exit from the climate of war is a longer story More expensive; we must face ourselves with difficult facts; oil is no longer able to heal our wounds and our economic diseases, even if returned to high prices. 

Minister of Planning Salman Jumaili: The sources of funding for reconstruction are three (budget, investment, grants); we know that the budget already suffer from the deficit and problems even in the management of ordinary affairs and there is nothing to help the completion of the reconstruction process and the maintenance and modernization of infrastructure and development The Iraqi economy; we also know that the ropes of foreign grants are long and do not have a lot of money and may benefit some of the projects after long trouble and negotiations and procedures; there is only to us investment and here we need a road map and difficult decisions and bold. The Iraqi government will go to several donor conferences where we have seen similar promises and commitments made by political and economic steps. There are also negotiations in every grant; this is inconclusive; we must ask the countries of the world to help Iraq by investing in it. Of course, no one will invest in real projects with conditions, laws and procedures that will expel even domestic investment, let alone a foreigner. 

Iraq needs to establish an integrated environment to facilitate investment, from granting land at low prices and perhaps free to change laws related to individual freedoms provided that investment in specific sectors is agriculture, industry and energy; not by the method of malls, restaurants and hotels; investment in Iraq should first mean job creation More and less imports at least for consumer goods, primarily food; and the end of the method of investment, which is based on the granting of government contracts for companies established by Iraqis abroad depend on the advances provided by the government; real investment is not paid by the government Anara one but it 's the evolution of tax institutions to earn him a fair degree of money to make Iraq an attractive investment environment. The first step in this way is to change the leaderships and systems of all the institutions and entities that managed the investment during the past years. They are partners in the failure. The second step is to remove the projects from the Iraqi cities as they no longer bear the repelling of any real foreign investor because of the chaos and congestion and waste and weakness of the infrastructure; It is better not to pass the foreign investor in most cities of Iraq and if it can be avoided suffering the arrival lounge at Baghdad airport, it would be better if this hall was upgraded to enter the twenty-first century, we must completely abandon the people and entities that were shopping for Investment in Iraq, where it made the meetings and conferences to encourage investment occasions of mutual acquaintance and discipline and political meetings without solving one problem. 

There will be no real investment except by imposing the rule of law, specifically by confronting armed gangs with clan names to seize land, attacking companies, threatening employees, cutting off roads, restricting workers' freedoms and imposing themselves upon them; then complaining about the unemployment of their sons, to satisfy their elders with bribes, To win not to enter into fights or to die. 

The establishment of an attractive investment environment requires the enactment of new laws, changing public awareness of foreigners and resisting many arrogant and racist ideas; citizens and politicians must understand that their lives depend on the success of foreign investment in Iraq; the transfer of an important part of government attention to areas far from political conflict such as the governorates of Samawah and Diwaniyah And the south of Babylon and the areas of Najaf far from the center and the province of Wasit; empty land more and cheaper and tribal problems and security less; it is an area of proximity between Iran and the Gulf States; these countries will be the first investors targeted to attract in addition to It is the closest to the Asian regions of the markets as well.Investment in this stage is the only way to rebuild in two ways. The first is the contribution of investors to the reconstruction of infrastructure in return for granting them land and tax and customs facilities; the second is that investment through its sectors to establish new human centers (towns and villages) on industrial or agricultural projects or near; The new construction will not be completed soon, but it should start quickly to save old cities that have not experienced real expansion or maintenance; and that the fortune of real estate investment Drainage is the least because it will only drive more foreign currency and create a temporary and fragile economy under the pretext of a psychological complex called Dubai and other Gulf cities where the buildings are wonderful but not crowded with the unemployed. The countries of the world near and far are certain that Iraq's instability and economic and service weaknesses have a catastrophic effect on international security. The displaced and the terrorists have crossed the borders and worried Europe and America in a way that affects the laws of the two countries on the two continents and affects the way people live there and their culture. The Iraqi government should focus on this subject to encourage the countries of the world to help attract investments; and to send a clear message that the deterioration of Iraq economically and servicefully will become a cross-border security problem; Here seeks to transform Iraq ally continued or yard proxy war that failed in its quest first; these forces realize that Iraqin which meet its economic interests and ways of better trade.
