Iraq's PM Al-Kadhimi faces four urgent challenges
Iraq has become a country like Lebanon, relying too much on sectarian and ethnic balances.
New Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi does not have his own power base, so he has to rely on the support system" rel="">support that the sectarian and ethnic groups will extend to him.
Several problems have accumulated since the resignation of the previous Iraqi government and are awaiting solutions. Four of them are more important than the others: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the status of the US armed forces in Iraq, the dwindling oil price, and corruption.
COVID-19 is the most urgent issue because it cannot wait. Like the entire international community, Iraq was caught unprepared for the pandemic. As a result of years of war, social unrest, ethnic fights and Daesh, there was a big shortfall in medical facilities, equipment and medical staff, so the country has had to quickly find the missing components for its fight against the virus.
When Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan phoned Al-Kadhimi to congratulate him for the formation of his government, the only other issue they discussed was COVID-19.
The second important task the government has to deal with is what Washington calls the “US-Iraq Strategic Dialogue.” Baghdad prefers to describe it as negotiations over the status of forces agreement (SOFA).
The date for talks has already been fixed for June 10.Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale is designated as the negotiator for the US side. On the Iraqi side, there is not even a foreign minister who will be the main person in charge of these negotiations.
Turkey negotiated a similar agreement with the US in the 1980s. The rights and privileges granted to the US military personnel had proliferated and neither side knew their exact extent. Turkey wanted to compile them in one single text and appointed an outstanding negotiator, Sukru Elekdag, to conduct the negotiations. Thanks to his strenuous efforts, a SOFA was agreed.
Iraq’s negotiations may prove to be more difficult because the US may have acquired more widespread prerogatives as a result of the close cooperation between the countries since the US military intervention in 2003. Now Iraq has to negotiate and eliminate those prerogatives that it does not want to perpetuate.
The tendency in Baghdad to reduce the prerogatives of the US military has become more acute since Qassem Soleimani’s assassination in January. After this deliberate act of violence, the Iraqi parliament adopted a nonbinding resolution to expel US forces from the country altogether.
Furthermore, Al-Kadhimi’s government program provides for the preservation of Iraq’s sovereignty. This must be a diplomatic way to tell foreign countries, especially the US and Turkey — and perhaps even Iran — to withdraw their forces from Iraqi territory.
The Iraqi SOFA is further complicated by the US’ interest in turning Iraq into an outpost for waging attacks and operations against Iran. Therefore, it may prove to be more difficult to negotiate.
The third important issue that the Al-Kadhimi government has to tackle is the extremely low oil price. This issue has a special importance for Iraq because about 90 percent of its state income is generated from oil-related activities.
Voting on two key portfolios — the oil and foreign ministries — was postponed during the parliamentary vote of confidence in Al-Kadhimi’s government.
This will, of course, complicate things because of oil’s importance to the country’s economy. If the oil price remains at its present low level, Iraq’s economic difficulties will continue to grow and the protests that initiated the political upheaval will become more widespread.
The fourth important issue is corruption. Like in almost all countries in the region, corruption in Iraq is a social phenomenon that disturbs the general public.
Almost everybody complains about it, but very little is done to come up with a lasting solution. Corrupt practices were banned in Iraq some 3,770 years ago, with severe punishments suggested by the Code of Hammurabi.
More recently, in the 16th century, the poet Fuzuli, who joined the ruling court after Baghdad was seized by the Ottomans, complained in one of his works: “I greeted them. But they did not accept my greeting on the grounds that it was not a bribe.” Al-Kadhimi may not be able to uproot such a deep-rooted tradition, but he can certainly make an attempt in that direction.Challenge #1...RV currency

05/18/2020
The information / Baghdad ..
Former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Monday that the United States of America abandoned Iraq when the " ISIS " criminal organization invaded the country during 2014 and did not help it with one dollar.
"The United States of America abandoned Iraq when the terrorist organization ISIS came and did not help us with one dollar," Al-Abadi said in a televised interview, followed by "The Information," stressing that " America will not help Iraq without return."
He added, " Iraq has fallen victim to the American-Iranian dispute," noting that "my accusation of a tendency to America was born of the electoral conflict."
Al-Abadi pointed out that "external interference has decreased a lot and we must take advantage of this golden opportunity," considering that "the deep disagreement between us is what makes others impose on us."

Most of the Arab countries' holdings of yellow metal did not change during the month of March of this year, compared to February, in order for the UAE to maintain the same position in the 10th rank at the level of the Arab countries
The UAE was ranked fourth among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries after Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar

If my math is correct, at today's price of gold per ounce, that is $52,941,888,000. Looks like they have plenty of money to work with for an RV

Thursday 14 May 2020 | 3:30 pmParliamentary source: Al-Kazemi's government will print the currency to pay employee salaries
Baghdad / ...
Parliamentary source confirmed, Thursday, that the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will go to print a new local currency in order to pay the salaries of employees.
The source said to "Eye of Iraq News", "This measure is one of the solutions to overcome this economic crisis that is ravaging the country, so it is necessary to find harmless solutions for future generations such as the use of cash or gold reserves in the central bank."
He pointed out that we, "after the application of this procedure, we expect a decrease in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against the dollar," stressing that "this will have a positive impact on activating the industry in Iraq and not resorting to global or regional markets that provide goods to Iraq at low prices because of the high exchange rate The dinar compared to the price of currencies in Turkey, Iran and others. "
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, had determined, on Wednesday, the loan disbursements that the government intends to request from home and abroad. Saleh said in a press statement, "The government submitted a draft law to Parliament in order to authorize it to borrow from internal and external financing sources, in order to bridge the deficit and enhance public financial liquidity when necessary." And, "The borrowing came because of the financial hardship that the country is going through, and in order to bridge the revenue deficit gap against fixed expenditures, especially in the operating budget." He added, "The legal cover did not provide the government with internal and external borrowing, due to the lack of a federal budget law for the year 2020." He pointed out that "internal or external loans will be included in the event of legislation for the budget for the year 2020 or its alternative the final account at the end of the fiscal year (as a reality)." Saleh said, "External loans will go toward supporting investment projects and completing the stalled ones and the urgent need to launch them, while internal loans will be allocated towards the operational budget in the government's needs for insurance of salaries and others."
It is mentioned that the Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the draft of the domestic and foreign borrowing law to finance the fiscal deficit for the year 2020 and refer it to the parliament in accordance with the provisions of the constitutional articles. Finished 2

Mazhar Saleh: Al-Kazemi’s government will launch the first package to revive the economy
Baghdad - peopleOn Thursday, Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, revealed the existence of packages of measures to revitalize the national economy.
Saleh said in a statement to the official agency, followed by "Nass", (May 7, 2020), that "there are packages of important measures to revitalize the national economy," noting that "the first package of them includes the adoption of small loans for young people on very soft terms, as well as large private loans In the areas of agricultural activity, manufacturing, and services, especially as they are income and revenue generating.
He explained that "this initiative represents the integration of the monetary and financial policies of Iraq towards building economic stability and strengthening markets in addition to advancing sustainable development paths and raising levels of employment and use and combating recession."
Saleh added that "the package will go out as a priority to revitalize the agricultural movement in fundamental aspects, including facilitating the acquisition and acquisition of agricultural lands, supporting agricultural production and agricultural technology, and in accordance with the requirements of strengthening Iraq's food security and advancing national agriculture."
He continued, "The first package will be taken over by the Al-Kazemi government to support system" rel="">support the macro economy and the national market and move the state apparatus more efficiently."
Expectations indicate that Iraq may witness an annual performance that is the worst for the country since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, especially since Baghdad is currently considering the possibility of deduction of huge public salaries, in a move that will receive popular rejection and may renew the wave of protests with a new government taking over .
According to a report published by the French news agency, and followed by "Nass" (May 7, 2020), the GDP of Iraq is expected to decrease by 9.7 percent this year, and poverty rates may also double, according to the expectations of the World Bank, making this the worst annual performance The country since Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003.
The second largest producer of OPEC was affected by a double blow, firstly by the collapse of oil prices, and secondly by the Covid-19 pandemic, which dramatically affected its oil revenues.
And Iraq’s oil revenues last month reached 1.4 billion dollars, less than a third of the four and a half billion that the country needs per month to pay public sector salaries, compensation and government costs.
That is, the Iraqi government suffers every month from losing $ 3.1 billion in oil revenue.
In the face of this crisis, officials may put massive payrolls on the deduction list, according to two senior officials involved in discussions to suggest solutions.
The basis for salaries is more likely to remain the same, and austerity measures will extend to the large "allocations" that made up two-thirds of the $ 36 billion budget for salaries in 2019.
These allowances include rewards or benefits such as cars and homes, based on factors that include seniority, educational level, children, or informally political and family relationships.
An Iraqi official says that "the cuts we are studying include reducing the allocations of high-ranking public officials by more than half, the average level by 50 percent, and the low level by about 30 percent."
The government will also consider freezing recruitment and promotions, cutting military spending, and stopping maintenance of government buildings to save more money.
The authorities may even print the currency to pay salaries, which will force the central bank to use its foreign reserves of $ 60 billion to support system" rel="">support the dinar exchange rate against the dollar.
These measures are part of the $ 54 billion "emergency financing document", just over a third of the amount budgeted for the 2020 draft budget that parliament has yet to pass.
"It is the first time that we have had to do something similar."
" Too little, too late. "
And Iraqi economic analyst Ali Mawlawi told France Press that, with the deficit increasing every month, "What kind of measures will the government take now to try to avoid the economic disaster? It is really very little and very late."
The government pays salaries to four million employees, pensions for three million, and aid for a million others, which means that one out of every five Iraqis receives what can be considered payments from the state.
Maulvi says that the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, as its predecessors, has appointed employees to please political allies.
He adds that "oil prices rose when Abdul-Mahdi took office, which led to a false sense of safety from his government, and expanded in the public sector to the stage of losing control, which led to this serious financial crisis."
For 2019, the government monitored a 13 percent increase in salary expenses, and jumped 127 percent in pensions, according to a World Bank analysis.
Late last year, the government employed at least 500,000 people in an effort to appease angry anti-government protesters protesting against unemployment and corruption, which led to salary inflation inflated again by 25 percent.
Public jobs are inherited from the previous era in Iraq, as university graduates are theoretically employed by a related ministry upon their graduation. But this strategy has overburdened the public sector engulfed by corruption.
The benefits associated with government positions mean that they are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars by grade, while the private sector is regrettably unrepentant.
"This is an economy that does not create jobs," says Wael Mansour, chief economist at the World Bank in Iraq.
This raises problems in a country with rapid population growth, and is set to increase ten million in the next decade to 50 million.
"If they really want to make an impact, the only place to do that is by salaries," says Mansour.
difficult decision
However, similar austerity measures "could spark more social unrest, with public services already weakening and unemployment rising," according to the World Bank.
The new Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, had hoped that he would not have to start his mandate with cuts, but fear of public reaction prevented the caretaker government headed by Abdel-Mahdi from implementing the cuts.
"No one wanted to take responsibility," says a second official involved in developing emergency procedures.
The same official describes the meetings in which caretakers were more focused on signing last minute contracts that would earn them quick bribes, knowing that their days in government were numbered.
Given the prospect of a further drop in oil revenues in May with lower prices and demand, things could get worse.
"If we don't agree on something swift, there will be no money in June. We will have to announce a full government shutdown, and this is a precedent," the official said.
I hope the first package begins with a R and the second package begins with a V

The delegation of the region returns to Erbil after a series
of meetings in Baghdad
1/05/2020 18:41:39The delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, returned this evening Friday to Erbil.
And the Kurdish delegation held a series of meetings with government officials and parties in Baghdad, which focused on the salaries of the region, the budget, the Kurdistan oil, and consultations to form the new ministerial cabinet.#############
Kurdistan delegation returns to Erbil after "positive" talks in Baghdad
1st May, 2020
The Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq reported that its delegation returned to Erbil on Friday after "positive" discussions in Baghdad
The government said in a statement received by Shafak News, that the delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government returned to Erbil after positive discussions with Iraqi government officials in Baghdad regarding the outstanding differences between the two sides
She pointed out that the talks will resume next week between Baghdad and Erbil with a view to resolving the differences and outstanding issues between them, especially those related to the financial budget of the country and oil
The delegation of the region had arrived on Tuesday evening to Baghdad and held, on Wednesday and Thursday, two rounds of discussions with the Iraqi government, as well as consultations with leaders and officials of Iraqi political parties on resolving the outstanding differences between Baghdad and Erbil
The visit came days after the Iraqi government cut the salaries of employees of the Kurdistan Region after it said that the region had not fulfilled its obligations in the financial budget represented by the delivery of 250 thousand barrels of oil per day to the federal government
In its statement today, the regional government said that it confirms its commitment to the items of the financial budget for 2019 and the agreement concluded with Baghdad in early January 2019
The agreement includes the delivery of the Kurdistan Region, the amount of 250 thousand barrels per day of oil to the Federal Government in return for handing Baghdad a share of about 13 percent of the budget to the region in addition to the salaries of employees and peshmerga
The cut in the salaries of the employees of the region sparked widespread criticism inside and outside the region, where observers considered that this decision comes in the context of political pressure coinciding with the efforts of Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kazemi to form the new government
There are pending issues between the two sides for many years, chief among them the disputed territories, how to manage oil wealth, the budget of the Peshmerga forces, and others
She pointed out that the talks will resume next week between Baghdad and Erbil with a view to resolving the differences and outstanding issues between them, especially those related to the financial budget of the country and oil
I thought was already decided more than a year ago.....their share would be 17%.

And, "The remainder of the government formation discussions is identifying people to take over ministries only, because discussions about the distribution of ministries between the political parties are over and Al-Kazemi has set the share of each political party."Prediction number 1.....It will not happen on Thursday because of Prediction number 2...the Kurds will be doing all the itchingbay. Why do I say this??? Because this has been the pattern since the days of Noah and the Flood. Or at least it seems like its been that long... Select candidate, they select their cabinet, Kurds itchbay and nothing gets done. Over and over and over again. PLEASE Kurds.....PROVE ME WRONG THIS TIME. If you do, THEN I believe we will be on our way to the finish line. What say the others in DV????

Thanks Adam! Agree with dumping the rubies. As far as Uncle Joe’s VP goes, I believe it will be Stacy Abrams. I just hope the President can get Americans out of the house and back to work quickly. If the economy is bad for the remainder of the year he will really need to work some magic to get re- elected. Maybe an RV?
Which is exactly why China let this virus go in the first place. They covered it up until it was too late to stop it. They knew what it would do for the world economy. Especially in the US. The only way to defeat Trump in November was to tank the economy. They hate him for what he has done to them on trade and tariffs, and this was their payback. JM2C

UPDATE......Hurricane Laura turned just enough east to spare Beaumont of major damage. No damage to our home or our subdivision. The same, however, cannot be said for our friends and neghbors in SW La. especially Lake Charles. Prayers for them.
