    The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, stressed, during the issuance of the presidential decree on holding the elections on October 10, that they are important, articulated and foundational, while calling on the security services to assume responsibility in maintaining security.

    Concurrently, the European Union provided 5.51 million euros for a UN-led project to support capacity building in the Independent High Electoral Commission.

    Saleh said in a statement: "The elections come after a popular protest movement calling for reform and correcting the tracks, and securing the right of Iraqis to choose their representatives away from pressure, blackmail and stealing their votes is a top priority, to get out of the sediments and accumulations of the previous stages."

    The President of the Republic called "everyone to prepare for the elections, to participate seriously in them, and to express free will. Elections are an opportunity to realize the noble aspirations of the people."

    He added, "Let our electoral voices be decisive and resolute in affirming the transition in Iraq to a stage in which it is more advanced, fair, stable and independent."

    He emphasized, "The relevant state institutions are called to accelerate the fulfillment of the requirements for conducting fair elections, in a way that removes the concerns and doubts that were a major reason for the reluctance of a sector of not a few citizens from previous elections.

    He continued, "It is imperative to create the political climate required to alleviate suffering and achieve justice in choosing strong legislative and executive powers capable of maintaining sovereignty, preserving the state and its prestige and establishing justice among citizens."

    In addition, the United Nations in Iraq welcomed the contribution of 5.51 million euros by the European Union to a project led by the international organization to support capacity building in the Independent High Electoral Commission.

    European funding will also contribute to supporting the deployment of United Nations electoral advisers, at a time when the Electoral Commission is making the necessary preparations to organize the general elections next October.

    He continued, "There is a population explosion in Iraq, where the number of citizens has reached more than 40 million and will increase over the next 20 years to 80 million."
    Baghdad and Washington issued a joint statement last Wednesday, after the end of the third round of the strategic dialogue rounds between the two countries.

    Interest in seaports enhances Iraq's economic position

    Baghdad: the pillar of the emirate

     

    Iraq has an important maritime location that could give it an important economic power and enhance its global position, as the state’s possession of multiple sea ports helps to develop and develop its economic sectors, and build international relations with major global economies, and in the case of Iraq it could be a global trade corridor and an international industrial center. 

    Taking advantage of its geographical location between the poles of the Western and Eastern world 
    Trade traffic


    Expert of the Strategic Center for Arab and International Studies Dr.. Ahmed Omar Al-Rawi said: “Iraq has a sea coast estimated at 58 km, and it has factors that contribute to enhancing the strategic position of its maritime ports, as a result of several factors, including its geographical location, which made it a conduit for trade movement between East Asia and Europe, through the so-called dry canal, and its possession The oil reserves estimated at 153 billion barrels, which would qualify it to provide industrialized countries with the main energy source for decades to come, especially the countries of East Asia and Europe through its maritime ports.

    He added that «the maritime site of Iraq in the north of the Arabian Gulf contributes to the export of more than three million barrels of oil per day from its seaports, and it is expected that trade traffic in Iraqi ports will increase in the future, to double during the next two decades and cards outside the current capabilities of the national ports», indicating that «these The economic fundamentals oblige Iraq to develop its ports, which now need expansion and the establishment of new ports, that meet its commercial needs as a result of the increase in foreign trade, especially if we know that the capacity of the current ports does not exceed 15 million goods. 
    It is noteworthy that the maritime shore of the country is limited compared to the Gulf countries, as we find that the indicators of benefiting from its maritime domain do not exceed 700 km2 and the marine area of Kuwait reaches 12,000 km2, Iran is 155,700 km2 and Saudi Arabia is 186,200.
     
    Investment opportunities
    Academic turn Dr. Amr Hisham stated that «the limited investment opportunities for Iraq in developing its border ports, and the reason is that its ports are located in waterways (Khor Abdullah and Khor Al Zubair) with limited depths and the abundance of sediments, which are thrown by the Shatt al-Arab and transported by water currents to those passages, which requires cleaning operations to pass medium-tonnage vessels In line with the depths of the waters of the creek, and one of the other challenges is that its maritime domain is limited relative to the land domain. ”
    "These challenges have led to making the port of Faw of great importance for the development of the Iraqi coasts and achieving sectoral interlocking in order to find a comprehensive development for the country, by investing in its coast to develop navigation and stimulate trade with different countries of the world," Hesham emphasized.

  10. Adapt to the exchange rate

     

    Monday April 12, 2021


    alsabaah-73601.jpg

     

    Muhammad Sharif Abu Maysam 

     

    On the 16th of last March, the Central Bank of Iraq explained, through a statement, the reason for the decline in the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market - especially in February - from the official selling price after changing the price by the bank at the end of December of 2020, and the central explained This decline in what he called "the domestic market shock" which required a period of adjustment to make the settlements that occurred between each of the merchants (wholesale, retail, singular) and the settlements of wholesalers with banks, as imports decreased to severe levels, and then the demand for Foreign currency decreased. ».


    However, this interpretation based on the market mechanism did not take into account the impact of the political space on this mechanism, as the apprehension of many of the public, including many traders and speculators, remained escalating at times and decreasing at other times, according to the statements and promises regarding the influence of the central decision and the intention to retract it in favor of Slogans, which were employed to win positions, without taking into account the nature of the variable that requires preparation for the influx of foreign investments and the establishment of an investment climate led by capital allied to globalization capital in the region, which requires working on several axes in order to achieve this trend, and the exchange rate has not increased in the parallel market Only after approving the budget, and ensuring that the relevant authorities proceed with their policies without return, to create a competitive environment that protects the local product from the decline in the prices of goods produced in the geographical neighborhood countries and to pave the way for monetary stability that encourages foreign capital to enter the Iraqi arena in a security, legal and stable monetary environment.

    But adapting to the exchange rate will not take its form that attracts investment, except by liberalizing the exchange rate and creating monetary stability in an atmosphere of freedom of exchange and circulation to ensure the movement of capital into and out of the Iraqi interior, without any effect of the difference in the value of the exchange rate with Other currencies .

     And to ensure investment accounts in the feasibility studies prepared by the investors, as they are keen in the financial feasibility studies to ensure that the price does not change in the parallel market, during the life of the project to achieve the feasibility of establishing the project, as well as the importance of competitiveness to protect the local product, which is likely to adopt the method of "floatation." Al-Madar »in the next step, in conjunction with the increase in the central reserves, which will contribute to giving more freedom to maneuver those in charge of monetary policy, and to ensure adaptation to the fluctuations of the parallel market up to For stability.
