Iraq ... Fragile democracy and the Government of uncontrolled Executive Summary of the International Crisis Group on Iraq Network news: After years of uncertainty, conflict and instability, it appears that the Iraqi state has become more coherent and through success in reducing violence to allow the emergence of what looks like a normal life. But in the meantime allowed the widespread corruption in its institutions and its spread. This in turn contributed to a sharp deterioration in public services. Has exacerbated the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, this problem of interfering in the issues of fight against corruption, and manipulation of investigations for political benefits and intimidate its critics to prevent a repeat of the pattern of popular movements that brought down so far three systems in the region. As a result, the government's credibility has vanished in the fight against corruption; and this, combined with the authoritarian tendencies of concern, provides ammunition for critics of the Prime Minister. Maliki's government to be able to boost its legitimacy from crumbling, it should launch a vigorous campaign to combat corruption and improve service delivery and create checks and balances in the state system. After the spread of violence in the aftermath of the invasion of the United States in 2003, the country has suffered as much as the population suffered. Mounted in an environment where kidnappings, bombings and assassinations, deteriorated public services fully. In the wake of dramatic bombings in Samarra in February 2006, completed the ministries of the whole of its employees, did not dare, where officials and employees to go to work. And overnight was abandoned projects continued to work on it for years. The judges found that they, parliamentarians have become targets. And forced regulators to roll back its operations, although they are supposed to be less prone to risk due to the absence of direct contact between them and the general public, leaving the institutions of the state without the controls and safeguards against corruption and exploitation. As a result, the state output fell drastically over a number of years, even with the lifting of the budget on an ongoing basis due to high oil prices. Paralysis of the state shares in the breeding and the spread of criminal elements and personal interests in other joints of the bureaucracy. By 2009, the State to impose itself by a combination of factors. A crowd of U.S. military (2007 - 2009) an initial important for improving security, but in terms of institutions, the security forces that have been built has been able to strengthen the safety factors and safety enough to enable administrators and staff return to work without protection or assistance from U.S. forces. Today, judges enjoy the protection of Interior Ministry forces. The Council of Representatives and exclusively on the local police and private contractors to maintain their security. The state has regained most of its functions. Despite improved conditions, public services appear to be prohibiting Taatari severe shortcomings, especially with regard to the rampant corruption, which has spread Kalveros in all state institutions during the years that missed the law, which lasted until 2008. One of the main reasons for this deplorable situation in the failure of the control frameworks in the state, which has allowed successive governments to operate without any controls. Needs of the 2005 constitution and the legal framework a number of institutions - BSA, body integrity, and Inspectors General, Parliament and the courts - to monitor government operations and financial performance in the implementation. However, none of these institutions have not been able to stand in the face of government interference, and its intransigence and manipulation, and the presence of incomplete legal framework and constant threats of violence. These factors have prompted senior officials to resign, including most notably the President of the Integrity Commission on September 10 / September 2011. Even civil society organizations - which was to intimidate the government in the form of anonymous threats, and the arrest of political activists and the use of violence, including the brutal practices of the police - have proved unable to set controls for government practices. On the ninth of September / September 2011 killing of prominent journalist was organized weekly protests against government corruption. Although it is not found the perpetrators, but that his death contributed to the growing fears of authoritarian tendency of the Maliki government. We have established the framework of the existing control by the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2004. The Coalition Provisional Authority conducted a number of reforms is studied since the beginning. Stripped of Supreme Audit, which was the only institution of its kind in Iraq, from the broad powers including the exclusive authority for the control of public procurement and to refer cases of suspected corruption to the courts. Coalition Provisional Authority transferred those powers to the Commission on Public Integrity, an organization that was established in 2004 to be the authority in charge of all anti-corruption activities. Although the risk of beating had threatened its existence in its early years, the body can not even today do its own investigations independently due to problems in human resources and the difficulty of access to some government departments. Therefore relied on inspectors general, the other institution established by the coalition and put auditors and investigators in all ministries and other state institutions. But, given the weakness of the serious is going on legal and administrative framework, this institution has been unable to organize its work and remains one of the weakest performers in the state institutions. May be the House of Representatives, a key institution in the framework of the new surveillance due to the discharge of the reform of all areas of governance, these institutions are less effective at all. Characterized by its internal working methods Btaúfah too, but its rules of procedure is complex and imperfect, so the Council can not enact legislation was supposed to issue long ago to repair the damage done to the state institutions since 2003. Moreover, as a result of the balance of delicate political concluded after the elections of December / December 2005 and March / March 2010, which saw the emergence of coalition governments expanded lacks the parliamentary opposition are real, the Council was not able to exercise effective control over the government, for fear of prejudice to the alliances of political underpinning. In the meantime, showed the judicial system (especially the Federal Supreme Court, which is supposed to be the arbiter in all constitutional disputes) to the severe weakness of political pressure. Sentenced Federal Supreme Court in a number of major disputes in a way, launched by the Maliki government to control as it wants, without hindrance from institutional censorship. All the latest significant impact: the embezzled billions of dollars from state coffers, most often because of legal gaps in the regulations governing public procurement; the parties and questions of ministries as bank accounts; and nepotism, bribery and embezzlement on the rise. Partly as a result of that, living standards have fallen, even in comparison with the recent past of the country. This applies to virtually all aspects of life, including the sectors of health, education and electricity, all of which are characterized by poor performance, despite the significant increase in their budgets. There are also serious concerns about the deterioration in environmental conditions, particularly with regard to the increase in dangerous dust storms and desertification. Rampant corruption has impeded the state's ability to deal with these problems. If corruption has taken root, the reason is not due to the absence of opportunities for reform. Technical experts have provided excellent practical suggestions, but not adopted any of them about. Because of the weak part of the work of Parliament, and also because of government obstruction, the Assembly can not approve any of the current legislative reforms since 2007 at least. These include legislation, not to mention a few, a law forcing political parties to disclose financial interests; and rules of work of the Office of Financial Supervision, and the Integrity Agency and the inspectors general; and the law protects the independence of the Supreme Court. And that is to take these steps and other steps similar, the government will continue to work without supervision, with the problems caused by the chronic abuse of power, corruption and the growing authoritarian trend were the inevitable result of the failure of control mechanisms. Recommendations To the Government of Iraq and the Council of Representatives: 1. Set a framework for a new anti-corruption cooperation and allows greater coordination and more effective among the various state institutions involved in the fight against corruption, especially by doing the following: A. To allow all officials of the audit and the fight against corruption to refer criminal cases directly to the courts; B.

Increase the training budget in each of the oversight institutions to develop the skills necessary to carry out surveillance and investigation missions independently of other institutions; Issuance of effective legislation to protect witnesses, and ensure people's ability to access to information about government. 2. Pass a law on political parties imposed on the parties to make financial transparency and dissemination of financial accounts in detail, including all sources of income and expenditures. 3. Reform of the rules of procedure of the Council of Representatives, including the withdrawal of the administrative powers of the President of the Council, and to facilitate the drafting of laws and speed up the process of enactment. 4. The organization of legislative procedures by doing the following: A. Clarify and strengthen the working relationship between the institutions involved in the preparation of new legislation; B. Clarify the role of each institution; C. Develop clear lines of communication between these institutions. 5. Reform of the regulatory function of the Council of Representatives to focus on policy implementation, and accountability through the administrators and technicians as thin, rather than politicians. 6. Law prevents the Chief Justice served as Chairman of the Federal Court, and protect the independence of the Supreme Court to prohibit any political interference. To the United States and other members of the international community: 7. Openly express dissatisfaction with the failure of Iraqi government and parliament with regard to a long-overdue reforms. 8. Provide direct and immediate support of the Council of Representatives and by delegating the experts in parliamentary development to work directly in the offices of the Council and the long-term basis. 9. Support efforts to reform the framework of the fight against corruption, especially through the provision of advice on making the administrative functions more effectively.

Experts stress need for the banking system to a new structure Sat 10/08/2011 7:50 □ Baghdad / to author The whole number of experts on the urgent need for re-evaluation of the banking system in both its public and private sectors and restructuring, at the time of moving necessary to confirm the independence of the central bank authority cash in the country. He said economic expert Dr Majid picture: There are two main axes in the restructuring of the banks first, Restructuring of the Rafidain and Rashid, at the same time restructuring the supervisory body in the central bank carries out supervision on the work of banks, while the second axis is the issue the instructions required for the development of banking business. He added that the recommendations of the Basel Committee on banking sector committed by the Iraqi Central Bank through the issuance of regulations, which included government and private banks alike, but the unfortunate thing is that these regulations delayed issuance of the years 2008 to 2011, which includes consulting and other procedures that have been published in the Official Gazette. He said the picture that there is a problem in the process of making such regulations at the present time there is a difference between regulations existing between the potential of these banks and the supervisory organ of the Central Bank, and thus there is a need to regulate these regulations, and put the right foundations in dealing with banks with the availability of modern technology, indicating that without the presence of these developments, there will be no action in these regulations, since the basic problem in the use of modern technology in order to reach management or control of susceptibility susceptibility to the work of banks, and will not happen without the development of concrete in the banking business. He pointed out the picture that the basic problem is that the central bank comes to him information in a month or two months to be able to release the budgets for the banks, which means that there is a need for a period of six months to monitor the performance of banks, a topic important to study what happens during the previous period, as can technological development to provide preliminary information for any topic in the same moment, through which monitor the performance of banks in order to apply the policy needed banking, which requires a move towards the application of modern means of monitoring the performance of banks and the Central Bank, which functions not related to the bank alone, but the World Bank as well as to restructure the banks governmental and civil society in Iraq. For his part, said Dr. Falah Athwaina professor of economics at the University of Mustansiriya The quest to maintain the domestic price and strengthen the financial system stable and competitive, according to the laws of the Central Bank supports the promotion of sustainable growth and prosperity in Iraq, and that the issue of independence of the Central Bank as a central subject of the economic policy of public and how assume its responsibilities defined by law. He added that under the study of monetary policy of the central banks in the countries of the world, clear set of standards that prevail in specific circumstances, some of the key variables against which specifies that the central bank independent or otherwise, and those standards the amount of time to set the governor and the party that you set or change , the standard the other is the formulation of monetary policy, and the fact that the central bank is responsible for drafting or there is a role for the Ministry of Finance or the ministries and other institutions with a role, and the third criterion is to determine the objectives of monetary policy and the selected bank or the other. He said the standard the other is the stability of government, since many of the professionals in regard monetary preparing this axis, or the standard critical point, which gave him 50%, if we go back to the other criteria, we find that the standard change the conservative 20% of the set of criteria other While in Iraq is the standard rate of 15% as a contribution to the legislative authority of the Central Bank Board of Directors in the appointment of the Governor. He pointed out that the percentage of the standard setting monetary policy in Iraq, amounting to 8%, while the actual proportion of 15% and the subordination of the Central Bank of the economic policies of other, as for the standard stability of the government and through which we recognize the strength of the monetary authority, monetary policy and the implementation of procedures in Iraq, amounting 46% of the 50%, while the gross proceeds of 78%, the ratio is high, according to the determinants of monetary policy, especially for the period after 2003, as they were not before that time the lowest elements of monetary policy such as those present. As each ministry is currently working on its own without coordination with other ministries and relevant authorities in the common areas

Economics: cash reserve Borrowing, and the negative Sat 10/08/2011 7:51 Abbas Ghalibi The foreign exchange reserves were real supportive and sober for the local currency, where all countries are trying to raise this reserve to cover and be conservative on the currency of the decay in the abyss of the collapse of the exchange rate off the foreign currency. And sought the Iraqi Central Bank strives to raise the level of foreign exchange reserves during the past seven years closer to the road from the banks of the 70 billion dollars. Deposited in many banks in the world sober, at the time maintained the central bank through its monetary policy hard-line on the Iraqi dinar exchange rate trend of foreign currencies, using tools other cash properly somehow led to the decline is striking in the levels of inflation, where you talk to government figures of the Ministry of Planning decrease of 35% in 2004 to less than 3% during the year 2010, indicates the safety and direction of monetary policy to curb inflation and then make it move in the spaces of transition economy aspiring to the adoption of market mechanisms. This as well as daily public auction for the sale of foreign currency, which was a source to provide optimal cover for the provision of adequate funds for foreign trade and the process of trade, particularly for the private sector which was more moving within the area of ​​his handling of the dollar. All of these policies, mechanisms and procedures that have emerged from, the Central Bank keen to raise the volume of cash reserves in proportion to the force required for the local currency, which saw the stages and Ford's retreat, the breaking point because of the economic policies of blundering and indiscriminate past and that made a big difference between the Iraqi economy is collapsing and global economies other competitor countries, particularly Iraq's production and export of oil. The central bank fights on in place reserves on two fronts: First, is trying hard to raise the volume of foreign exchange reserves, and the other in pursuit of the government to borrow from the reserve under the rationale for dealing with the deficit made in the annual budgets or finance strategic projects as projects of electricity, where the segment of those who call themselves Balaguetsadaan calling on the public to borrow from the cash reserve and accuse the Central Bank of exaggerating the risk expressed by if they were borrowing from the cash reserve, but the insistence of the Central and persistence on his position is based according to the opinion of many observers inside and outside Iraq, and even the opinion of other international organizations such as the IMF and World Bank in terms of economic policy, the right to maintain the stability of the currency and Rsantha and rival to the value of other currencies, as we see that the position of the CBI stems from the ability to extrapolate things and follow the procedures and ways to deal with fluctuations that may occur in the economic landscape, accounting for currency and the monetary policy, one of the most important pillars of stability financial and monetary stability and then economic.

Add to the Fact that the CBI Law requires a 1 to 1 exchange, old currency for new currency. -

DENVER -- A company selling investments in Iraqi money has been ordered to stop by the state of Colorado. The cease and desist order is for AmIraq Fund, LP, its general partner, BB&M International Corporation, and the managing director and CEO of both, William Burbank, all of Coronado, Calif. The AmIraq Fund sold investors on buying Iraqi dinar by saying the dinar is currently undervalued, Iraq has great long-term potential and that the dinar will recover post-war, officials said. Colorado investors were offering one million dinar for $975, securities officials said. The funds were to be held in an Iraqi bank. "Promoters often offer investors an opportunity to get in on the ‘ground floor’ of a new idea or concept and make a great economic return," Securities Commissioner Fred Joseph said. "Unsuspecting investors can be lured into these schemes, especially if the returns sound good. These offerings require careful research and a strong reminder that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true, nor will it be profitable to anyone but the promoter." Colorado officials alleged that Burbank was offering securities and that he failed to register its security offering. Burbank agreed to obey the cease and desist order, but neither admitted to nor denied the allegations, state officials said.
