LINK Dr. Saleh on the rise in the dollar exchange: sacrificing a side of the central bank’s reserves would allow price stability and ensure the stability of the standard of living 14th April, 2021 The economic expert and financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Dr. Mazhar Saleh, said about the possibility of a rise in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar that the rise in prices at a rate of 4.5% affects the consumer's livelihood, but it is not dangerous, considering that the fear is from the accumulation of inflationary expectations from the side of the forces generating inflationary expectations, namely the exchange rate speculators. In an interview with the obelisk, Saleh considered that it is natural that imported goods and services have increased by reducing the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar, as the decrease reached about 23% ؜, but there are services and local goods (including government) such as fuel, electricity, and others, which remained constant in price. The economic consultant, known for his accurate readings, continued that the lease contracts remained stable, making the annual inflation rate measured last month moderate compared to the low exchange rate, as the consumer price index in Iraq recorded an annual increase of 4.5% after it remained throughout the three years. The past is stable and with small annual rises between 1% ؜ and sometimes less, and I call it zero inflation. The Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ihsan Shamran Al-Yasiri, said, Tuesday, April 13, 2021, that the World Bank had proposed to Iraq to amend the exchange rate of the dollar to 160 thousand dinars per 100 dollars, as it is the real price. Dr. Salih added: The price increase at a rate of 4.5% ؜ affects the consumer's livelihood, but it is not dangerous, but the fear of the accumulation of inflationary expectations on the part of the forces that generate inflationary expectations, which are the speculators at the exchange rate, which makes monetary policy obliged to meet the super-demand for foreign currency from The window of the central bank or auction and maintaining a fixed exchange rate of 1450 dinars / dollar. He continued: Defending stability on this price is through the policy of continuous intervention and sacrifice of a side of the central bank’s foreign currency reserves to ensure that inflation remains within the goal of the one-decimal place in order to achieve stability and stability in the standard of living. And Saleh considered that this is consistent with the monetary policy objectives in achieving stability in the general level of prices and preserving the purchasing power of the monetary income, which is denominated in the Iraqi dinar. The Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq had said that "one of the demands of the World Bank during the negotiations to raise the exchange rate of the dollar is to reform the public financial departments, which are taxes, customs, levies and financing part of the financial savings achieved for the benefit of the vulnerable classes." In the context of urgent solutions, the ration card items must be improved to reduce the damage caused by adjusting the exchange rate, according to economic experts.

Mazhar Saleh: 72% of SOEs are {losing} Saturday 17th April 2021 Baghdad: Hazem Muhammad Habib The financial advisor to the Prime Minister Mazhar Muhammad Salih said that out of the 173 public or state-owned companies, only 28% work and make profits, and the rest 72% are losing companies, pointing out that there are nearly 400,000 workers in these companies who receive monthly grants in the form of salaries Without performing productive work. Saleh said to Al-Sabah: “Since 2003, the production activity of the government sector has been subjected to stoppage and neglect. Out of the 173 public or state-owned companies, none of them actually works at the present time and makes only 28% profit. While the remaining 72% are losers, "revealing that" more than 20% of those companies were removed from existence due to the war operations that took place in the second Gulf War and led to the demise of the previous regime. "Profitable public companies are those associated with the rentier activity of the oil sector, which enjoy quasi-monopolistic advantages in obtaining raw materials and marketing the product and prices, which makes them profitable, and they are profitable operations surrounded by a lot of support, "noting that" there are about 400 thousand workers who receive monthly grants in the form of salaries Without performing productive work for eighteen years, "affirming that" the fault is not the fault of these workers and employees, but the reason is due to negligence and negligence in the economic policy that depends on oil and neglecting any other resource. " Saleh pointed out that “technical expertise has diminished due to lack of accumulation of human capital, learning during work, transfer of technology, or renewal of production lines that have become technically obsolete.” He added that “the Ministry of Finance has attempted to support the operation of these companies and their factories by providing them with operational capital (after that I guaranteed them with government bank loans) but unfortunately nothing was achieved on the ground and the money went in vain, explaining that “these loans are estimated with a loss of interest at about 16 trillion dinars.” And that “these loans and funds were unable to move the wheels of production, raise productivity and maximize efficiency. Production, especially in industrial companies that exceed 80% of state-owned companies, "and added that" these loans remained, due to their sovereign guarantee by the Iraqi government, an integral part of the current government debt and calculated with it until the moment. " Ministers, that "According to the White Paper adopted by the Government of the Republic of Iraq in the year 2020 as an economic reform approach, those losing state-owned companies that are suspended or lagging should turn into profitable and productive companies, to increase the diversity of Iraq's GDP and reduce the heavy losses incurred by the national economy. As well as raising its financial burdens and shifting them to maximize the diversity of non-oil revenues in the sources of the federal public budget. LINK

LINK A breakthrough is imminent." Adviser to the Prime Minister: Three factors to curb the rise in prices 04/16/2021 11:27:04 The Prime Minister’s Adviser for Economic Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, identified three basic factors to limit the rise in prices of goods and commodities in the local markets. Saleh pointed out in a press statement, "There is an emergency seasonal price gap controlled by the increase in the prices of some imported food commodities that are determined by the global stock exchanges, for reasons related to the recession that hit the global economy last year, and as a result, the costs of producing foodstuffs increased." This coincides with the increase in global demand for food in light of the openness of the economy and international trade this year due to the expansion of vaccination levels against the Corona epidemic and the rapid opening of global markets compared to the previous year. He added that "Iraq is currently living in the months of the agricultural transition from the winter season to the summer, which are months when foodstuffs are scarce in most, which is what drives them to increase their prices." Despite stressing the government's responsibility to protect consumers and maintain reasonable prices, Saleh pointed to "3 basic factors to limit the rise in prices, the first of which is the provision of sufficient hard currency for the commercial sector to finance foreign trade requirements, and the second is customs taxes and reducing them to the lowest possible level, especially those related to them." With basic food items. "As for the other factor, Saleh said, "It is related to the upcoming summer agricultural season which is approaching, which will provide a great food supply in the following weeks." It is noteworthy that the month of Ramadan falls this year in light of a significant increase in food prices, especially after the official authorities decided to reduce the dinar against the dollar. The devaluation of the local currency cast a shadow over many low-income citizens, as not only the middle and poor classes were affected, but the decision affected merchandise merchants who import goods and pay their value in dollars. And the pressure on Iraqis increases during Ramadan, the continuing outbreak of Corona, as the impact of the precautionary measures extended to the abolition of Ramadan traditions that had been in place for decades, specifically those inherited social customs that the Iraqis did not leave in the most difficult circumstances that the country had previously experienced. Among the most prominent customs that the Corona pandemic has stopped is the overcrowding of markets with people who shop before breakfast. The sellers were frustrated because of the lack of buyers in the market, and he says that the month of Ramadan every year was a month in which there was a lot of commercial movement, and it usually represented a source of great profits for traders, but the current wave of high prices changed that this year at least. They held the government responsible for the rise in prices, noting that the devaluation of the dinar against the dollar in the state budget for 2021 - which was approved at the end of last month - led to an increase in the value of goods by more than 20%.

Parties and militias put Iraq on Europe's list of high risk countries in money laundering crimes - 13 Hours Elapsed Researcher Shatha Khalil * The inclusion of Iraq by the European Union in May 2020 in the list of high-risk countries for money laundering and terrorist financing came as the warnings of the European Union ambassador in Baghdad, Martin Hutt, about the seriousness of the situation, confirmed that there are foreign powers that are using Iraq as a battlefield by the proxy to implement their agendas. Regionalism, which increases internal and regional instability, and everyone should realize that a weak and unstable Iraq can only end up in failure with disastrous repercussions in the region and beyond. While the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi is struggling to ensure that the salaries of employees, retirees, and beneficiaries of the social protection network continue to be paid, after the sharp decline in public treasury revenues due to the decline in oil prices under pressure with the outbreak of the Corona virus, those efforts received great disappointment after the re-inclusion of Iraq by the European Union in May 2020 is on the list of high-risk countries for money laundering and terrorist financing, along with North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen, which has had catastrophic economic and financial repercussions on Iraq. After the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, Iraq became a fertile ground for the emergence of money laundering networks that benefited from the repercussions of the radical change of the political system and the accompanying political, economic and security chaos fueled by feverish competition between political factions and representatives of ethnic and sectarian components for their possession of the largest possible amount of power and influence, which facilitates Exploiting state resources and collecting money that found its way abroad through organized and politically covered money laundering operations, and this was the main reason behind the disruption of control mechanisms over the movement of money and trade with other countries in light of the state of comprehensive openness to the global economy, despite the creation of many Regulatory bodies, such as the Federal Integrity Commission (CoI), offices of inspectors general in government ministries, agencies and institutions, as well as the Federal Office of Financial Supervision (FBSA), the Economic Crimes Directorate in the Ministry of Interior and the Economic Security Department of the National Security Agency, all of these The bodies were unable to combat this phenomenon due to political interference that used insecurity and sectarian warfare as a cover and a pretext to evade more. More than a decade of pressure exerted by the World Bank and global financial institutions that have repeatedly threatened to put Iraq on the blacklist if it does not enact an anti-money laundering law, which did not happen until 2015 when the House of Representatives passed Law No. 39 on combating money laundering and terrorist financing Which provides for the establishment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing Council, which grants broad powers, as well as the formation of an office within the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) called the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing Office. The first report of the "Basel" index for combating money laundering (AML) for the year 2012 placed Iraq in the sixth place among the worst countries in the field of combating money laundering. This was called by the European Union in July 2016 to place Iraq on the list of countries that do not apply international standards, while the The European Union - in a goodwill gesture, by removing Iraq from its blacklist in 2018 despite its ranking first in the Basel Anti-Money Laundering Index report for 2017 as the most dangerous country in this field, yet the Iraqi government failed to take advantage of that, and lost an opportunity To improve the country's image by taking steps towards assuaging the concerns of its international partners. Since 2003, Iraq has been included in a horrific corruption list that includes all the joints of the country, and the sources of money laundering are divided into the following:  Investment budgets: were allocated by successive Iraqi governments after 2003, and their estimates range between 300 to 500 billion US dollars, for the purpose of rehabilitating infrastructure and developing public facilities. They were a major source of profit for the ruling parties by allocating corrupt contracts and tenders to shell companies or Ineligible or ineffective in return for huge commissions believed to be not less than a fifth of the value of each contract, and these contracts were often executed in a non-conforming manner, or their delivery periods were extended for additional years under the pretext of insecurity.  Oil smuggling:In addition to the survival of the southern oil export platforms without meters until the end of 2017 and the use of the ullage method to measure the volume of oil tanker cargoes that were costing Iraq thousands of barrels of oil per shipment per centimeter not calculated, and the oil pipelines extending between fields and ports continue, Which operates to this day without meters, including at the level of oil fields, secondary pumping stations and refineries, and to be the preferred target for stealing crude oil and its derivatives. These practices are estimated at between 100 thousand and 250 thousand barrels per day of Iraqi oil production, in addition to Other aspects of administrative corruption in calculating the quantities of oil entering and leaving the refineries, in the central and northern regions, the oil fields and oil smuggling networks that were financing ISIS after the fall of the city of Mosul in mid-2014 are still operating as usual, albeit in favor of the Shiites loyal to Iran, so the militias are in cooperation with The Kurdish parties themselves are also active in oil smuggling Producer in the Kurdistan region, this leads to the accumulation of huge funds that must be laundered in order to facilitate their integration into the global financial system.  Drug trafficking and smuggling and arms trade: Before 2003, Iraq was free from this poisonous trade, and the laws of the state became as far as possible, as it was one of the cleanest countries in the region for this scourge; After this date, the consumption of local drugs became one of the most profitable and fastest growing businesses due to the involvement of Shiite militias and armed clans in them, especially in Basra Governorate, which is witnessing a fierce conflict around it. The monopoly of their smuggling routes from Iran to Iraq, which often manifests itself in armed clan conflicts.  The problem of out-of-control border crossings, until the beginning of July 2020, the land, sea and air border crossings remained completely outside the authority of the state due to the control of outlaw forces and militias over them, not to mention the Kurdistan crossings, the area whose government has refused since 2003 to enable the federal government to supervise According to the constitution, this costs the public treasury estimated losses between 5 and 10 billion dollars annually as a result of customs evasion and organized smuggling that is practiced there. Reflection of the decision on the Iraqi economy: Following the European Commission’s decision, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein issued a statement expressing his surprise at the inclusion of Iraq on the list of countries with high risks in money laundering and terrorist financing. He recalled the measures taken by Iraq during the past two years, as Iraq is deemed to have met all the conditions for being removed from the blacklist. However, the state of denial revealed by the minister's statement reveals a number of indicators, the most important of which are the following:  Money laundering has become entrenched in the structure of the political system as one of the manifestations of financial corruption that placed Iraq at the top of the list of the most corrupt countries in the world. Money laundering has strategic importance with regard to Iran's plans to secure financial support for its allies and proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Bahrain, by taking advantage of the uncertain Iraq situation from the perspective of the American administration, which does not seem to be in the process of a complete division with Baghdad until the elements of the Iraqi rejecting interior have matured. For Iranian hegemony over the country.  Because everyone has been involved in laundering operations, whether they are supportive of his government, neutral or not.  The absence and backwardness of the tax system and banking systems in Iraq, which made it difficult to keep pace with the movement of funds, verify their owners and settle their tax status, and the lack of clear controls for banks and exchange offices that are selected to participate in the hard currency auction, especially those that do not provide actual banking services and whose records are It is fraught with irregularities, and the failure of regulatory and judicial institutions to track down people whose Central Bank of Iraq data reveal that they have transferred billions of dollars with forged import permits.  The lack of legal cover to follow up on people who show manifestations of wealth that are not commensurate with the jobs and businesses they do, or are not commensurate with the prices of the services and goods they sell, especially if they are below the cost price or do not even cover transportation costs, such as fruits and vegetables imported from Iran As happened in June 2020 when Iraq imported $ 70 million worth of Iranian tomatoes, even when Iraqi farmers in the Kurdistan region threw their produce on the streets because there was no one to buy them. More importantly, the great influence that the loyalist factions and their backers Hezbollah play within government institutions, which makes it difficult to stop the money laundering operations carried out in Iraq and linked to various illegal activities, from the smuggling of oil, drugs and weapons to kidnappings and the imposition of fees on businessmen and investors, in particular. In the Sunni provinces. In July 2020, Iraq announced a political and diplomatic campaign with European countries to remove its name from its list of high-risk countries that witness money laundering and terrorist financing operations, as this poses a risk to the Iraqi economy and foreign investments on its soil, as the implications of this listing impose further restrictions on transfers Finance from and to Iraq, as it gives a sign of distrust by global financial institutions, including the ten banks called mothers, which control the capital in the world, and which will put Iraq in front of serious financial sanctions, which make it difficult for Iraqi and European investors to work in the country that is already suffering. From a stifling financial crisis. It will have a harmful economic and social impact on cooperation with European countries and on the credit situation and foreign investment in the country. Everyone's interest is for everyone to contribute to the establishment of a prosperous, internally and externally stable, strong and sovereign Iraqi state as a basic condition for the stability of the region.

The reasons for the high prices in Iraq are "hidden" behind a wrong diagnosis .. Is the government wasting its time? 2021-04-15 Yes Iraq: Baghdad The Iraqi government continues to blame the high prices of commodities and foodstuffs, coinciding with the advent of the month of Ramadan, on one defendant who boils down to "the greed of merchants", which is contradicted by economists, in addition to previous statements of the Ministry of Interior, which seem to have returned empty-handed from its campaigns to monitor food prices. Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, for the second time in a period not exceeding two weeks, removed the accusation of high prices from the dollar and any other reason, accusing greedy merchants of raising the prices of foodstuffs, and while directing the Ministry of Trade to work continuously to provide more foodstuffs in the ration card and to exert its utmost efforts, he indicated "The increase in commodity prices is mostly linked to the greed of some traders, and we have campaigns to prevent this price manipulation." The interior is empty-handed dating This threat to campaigns against merchants and prices came after a previous directive, which resulted in the Ministry of Interior coming out with statements denying its ability to reduce commodity prices because they are linked to global and local indicators that are not related to the greed of merchants, which prevents the Ministry of Interior from taking any measures against merchants. The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, Major General Khaled Al-Muhanna, said in statements to the official agency on April 5, that after complaints about the rise in some foodstuffs and the Directorate of Economic Crime Control conducted an audit, it became clear that the high prices of oil and sugar were related to a rise in global stock markets due to the Corona pandemic and what came with it “. In addition to fish and poultry, where the ordeals indicated that the high prices of these two materials came due to global conditions, including the growing demand for foodstuffs, and while he did not deny the existence of some monopoly, the ordeals confirmed that they were in small proportions and were addressed. Two factors behind the rise in prices ... and they will not decline! Economists oppose to hold merchants responsible for the rise in foodstuffs, to point out the issue of reducing the value of the dinar against the dollar in Iraq, while they oppose restrictions on merchants as it opposes the principle of the free market in Iraq. Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi says, "The high general level of prices is the natural result of lowering the exchange rate of the national currency in a country like Iraq that does not have a broad national production base,and it later leads to a decrease in the volume of overall demand, especially the consumption associated with most of it with import, which leads to a reduction in the flow of foreign exchange." Outside and reducing the deficit of the trade balance and the balance of payments, as it leads to an increase in public revenues in local currency, and then reducing the public budget deficit. He adds that "this fact is supposed to be clear to the economic decision-maker, who must take some government measures to increase the commodity supply to reduce the prices of some basic commodities consumed by the poor, especially by strengthening the ration card, for example, or supporting consumer cooperative societies." He shows that "waving an iron beating at the hands of traders and exploiters to reduce prices, it means that the government does not understand its procedures and that it gives a wrong message and a promise to people that the reason for the high prices is related to the merchants and not to reduce the exchange rate, and then they are waiting for the results of the government's iron policy without success, which will expose it to criticism Later, due to its ineffectiveness in reducing prices. He confirms that "the policy of striking with an iron hand is one of the tools used by countries with planned economies that plan, determine and control prices. However, this policy is not commensurate with countries that adopt a free market economy, including Iraq that is economically open and commercially exposed at very high rates in which prices are determined." According to the supply and demand mechanism, in which the state’s role is organizational without interfering with the details of the economic process and determining the prices of cucumbers, onions and poultry. Al-Marsoumi expected that "accordingly, commodity prices will remain high due to the reduction of the dinar exchange rate, which is the most important and because of the rise in global prices of some basic commodities in 2021, the largest in 7 years."
