PLANNED VISIT BY KRG BUDGET DELEGATION TO BAGHDAD POSTPONED 11 Hours ago 377 Viewhttps://nrttv.com/En/News.aspx?id=22334&MapID=1#NRTnews SULAIMANI — A negotiating delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) postponed on Tuesday (July 7) an expected trip to Baghdad because federal officials have not completed a review of financial, personnel, and administrative files related to oil and the KRG’s public sector workforce. According to sources in both the Kurdistan Region and Baghdad delegations, it is not clear when the KRG officials will ultimately make the trip, although it will only do so after the review is complete. NRT reporter in Baghdad Omed Muhammed said that the two main stumbling blocks to reaching the long-awaited comprehensive budget agreement between the federal government and the KRG were the agreement’s duration and the amount of money that Erbil will receive from budget transfers. According to sources, the federal government has demanded the Kurdistan Region’s total oil and non-oil revenues and in return Erbil will receive 550 billion Iraqi dinars ($462 million) per month to pay public sector salaries and other expenses. The KRG has reportedly responded with two offers: one where Erbil gives all oil income and half the receipts from local taxes and border crossings in return for 650 billion Iraqi dinars ($546 million) per month or another where all income is transferred to Baghdad in return for 900 billion Iraqi dinars ($756 million) per month. On Monday, before the trip was postponed, a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) lawmaker had expressed confidence that the differences would be easily resolved. In late April, Baghdad cut off all budget transfers to Erbil, leaving it with a massive shortfall that was compounded by the effects of a drop in the global price of oil. Unable to pay its public sector workers on time or in full, the KRG has repeated delayed distribution of salaries this spring and recently moved to cut the pay of most workers by 21 percent or more.

Peshmerga and Iraqi force coordination rooms to 'enhance stability in Kirkuk': army chief https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/070720204 hours ago Lawk Ghafuri IRAQ Peshmerga members take part in a graduation ceremony at Zakho's military academy on January 30, 2018. Photo: Safin Hamed / AFP ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The establishment of three rooms for joint coordination between Iraqi security forces and the Peshmerga will bring safety back to Kirkuk province, a top Iraqi Army official said on Tuesday. “The coordination room with the Peshmerga forces will enhance stability in Kirkuk province," Iraqi Army Chief of Staff Lie. Gen. Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah said in an interview with state media. The comment follows a Monday visit to Kirkuk by a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs, where members met Iraqi defense and interior ministry officials and an Iraqi federal police team, according to spokesperson to the army's commander-in-chief Yehia Rasool. Rasool announced that same day that Iraqi force-Peshmerga coordination rooms would be established in Kirkuk, Diyala and Nineveh provinces - territories disputed by Erbil and Baghdad. Contention over the areas has led to a security vacuum conducive to a resurgence of the Islamic State (ISIS). “The visit to the Federal Police headquarters in Kirkuk province was successful,” Yarallah told state media. “The relationship between the Federal Police and the Peshmerga forces and the means to enhance the security of Kirkuk province were discussed.” However, Rasool stressed that Peshmerga forces would not be redeployed to Kirkuk, from where they were removed by Iraqi security forces in October 2017. Nasr al-Shimari, spokesperson and deputy secretary general for the Iran-backed Harakat al-Nujaba militia, called any move to redeploy the Peshmerga to the province as “unconstitutional”. “The return of Peshmerga to Kirkuk province is a degrading step to all the blood that have been spilled by the Iraqi forces to return control of the state over the Iraqi province [Kirkuk],” Shimari tweeted on Tuesday. ISIS was declared territorially defeated in Iraq in December 2017. However, remnants of the group continue to operate in the disputed territories, returning to earlier insurgency tactics including ambushes, kidnappings and targeted killings. Operations to entirely clear their presence from the area have failed, and military bodies worldwide have warned the group is continuing to resurge. Several Kakai villagers were killed in an ISIS attack in Khanaqin, Diyala province in mid-June, prompting Kurdish leaders to renew calls for joint security coordination in the disputed territories. Jabar Yawar, Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs, previously warned that the ISIS resurgence has been underway for some time. “According to our data, the group increased its activities in 2018 and 2019, especially in Kurdistani areas outside of the Kurdistan Region administration, including Diyala, Hamrin, Kirkuk, Tuz Khurmatu, and Qarachogh. In Qarachogh, they even established bases,” Yawar told Rudaw in April.

He added, “We are representatives of the Arab and Turkoman components, as we categorically refuse to take the commander in chief of this step in agreement with the region without taking the views of our components that have a bad memory with these forces, which destroyed dozens of villages after liberating them from ISIS, we remember that it would harm the civil peace and stability that was achieved in Kirkuk After law enforcement in 2017. ” He added that "neglecting the great achievement of returning the security file to the federal authority in Kirkuk, which was achieved by former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and preserved by Abdul-Mahdi, which is consistent with the provisions of the Iraqi constitution, places the Commander in Chief under penalty of constitutional and historical responsibility." The statement pointed out that "had it not been for the observance of the Corona pandemic and the prevention of rallies, the people of Kirkuk will resort to all constitutional means to prevent this provocative move."

During the comprehensive roaming ban for more than 30 days and reducing the permanence and banking activity during the partial curfew, which led to a significant decrease in revenues, despite the many measures taken by the Central Bank in providing several facilities package to banks, including enhancing its liquidity by reducing the percentage of legal reserve, postponing loan installments, stopping and postponing imposed fines On the banks. "According to the analysis of official data and statistics, the structure of the Iraqi banking sector consists of 7 government banks that hold 86% of all government and public deposits and 78% of all assets and private banks constitute 70 commercial and Islamic banks and invest 78% of the capital of the Iraqi banking sector and did not happen Only on 13% of the total annual profits achieved at the total level and that the goals set for the banking sector in all government programs of previous governments are focused on achieving them is lending for development and considering banks as a lever for development and restoring confidence with the public and achieving financial inclusion in the sense of expansion and spread by providing banking products and services and practicing Real banking and digital transformation of the banking sector.

Al-Nassiri suggested the following: First: The nature of banking activities depends on the nature of the activities of the economic sectors . and as long as the activity of economic is concentrated in the trade (imports) remains the activity of banks concentrated on the conversion external and associated so ..lma unless moving sectors other (industry, agriculture, tourism and others) do not expect the diversity of activity The banker. It is worth noting that without controlling imports, these sectors will not rise, which explains the lack of progress on serious loans through the Central Bank initiative to finance small and medium projects. Second , the legal environment must be provided and the rule of law should be extended in order to eliminate the phenomenon of defaulting in the repayment of loans, as bad debts amounted to (5 trillion dinars) up to 30 June 2020, and they constitute a large percentage of the total credit granted, and thus banks are reluctant to provide loans and facilities.

Education and the market economy in Iraq, interdependence or repulsion? https://annabaa.org/arabic/economicarticles/23744 Hamed Abdul-Hussein Al-Jubouri Education plays an important and significant role in receiving or leaving any system, being; It is supposed to create the social environment necessary to receive it in order to interact with it as required, beginning and ending. As education contributes to improving economic performance at the micro and macro levels alike, the economic unit managed by an educated person is, without a doubt, the best performance of the unit managed by an uneducated person, and this is reflected positively on the income level of the unit and the individuals working in it. It also performs education; To reduce unemployment, as it is mostly the case, especially in economies that function properly; You find the percentage of people who get a job, whether in the public sector or the private sector, are the educated and not the uneducated, and this means reducing the size of unemployment, which is one of the indicators of the macro economy. Interconnectedness or repulsion? There is a strong correlation between education and the market economy. At a time when education supplies the market economy with the educated workforce, the market economy provides education with suitable job opportunities for that educated workforce. It is not a correlation and the effects are very bad. This relationship can be examined, that is, is there a correlation or disharmony between education and the market economy in Iraq? Through the effects that occurred, especially after 2003, represented by the unemployment index. Unemployment is the indicator through which we can clarify the extent of interconnectedness or repulsion of education and the market in Iraq, where it appears through unemployment, there is inconsistency or even blatant incompatibility between education and the market economy, as statistics indicate that the unemployment rate rises to more than 40%, including learners, and what The continuing demonstrations of graduates and holders of higher degrees in the capital, Baghdad and the provinces, to demand job opportunities except evidence of the high rate of unemployment, even among the educated! The rise in unemployment in general and among the educated ranks does not mean that the shortcomings on the part of the market economy because it can not provide job opportunities even for the educated, but rather education is a partner in the shortcomings as well, and as we mentioned above, Then the relationship becomes a dissonance relationship, not an interconnectedness, and the effects are very bad. Palaces of the two parties, education and the market In other words, education focused on quantity without quality, and this means an increase in the number of graduates and holders of higher degrees without paying attention to the quality of outputs required by the market economy, which made the latter, which suffers mainly from weakness due to the state’s interference and the lack of space for it, is also violating its obligations Towards education, he was no longer able to provide job opportunities to employ these armies of graduates, the result was a high rate of unemployment and continued demonstrations to demand employment opportunities. It can be said that the high unemployment rates in general demonstrate the failure of the economy more than education in providing job opportunities, and that the high unemployment rates among learners is evidence of the lack of education more than the economy in providing good outputs, since it focuses on quantity rather than quality, since Education was unable to focus on quality and the market economy, unable to provide job opportunities, and they became in stark dissonance, so the deficiencies of the two sides were not one party. The shortcomings are the result of a long march The shortcomings of education and the market economy did not come overnight, but rather as a result of a long historical march, which started from the Ottoman external occupation and ended with Saddam's internal tyranny, contributed to the consolidation of this deficiency in the depths of education and the market economy. Given the close interdependence between the political system and the economic system on the one hand, and the political system and the educational system on the other hand, the result was in Iraq, which recently adopted a one-party political system, for a period of time not short. The economic and educational system is holistic in nature and can only be managed according to Central planning and what the single party and its leader see, which has entrenched the failure of both parties. The state enters and the withdrawal falters Managing the Iraqi economy centrally and according to what the single party sees for a long period of time, means the state’s direct intervention in the economy, and this has diminished the importance of the private sector, which represents the main driver of the market economy. The latter was weak and unable to provide employment quickly, in harmony with speed. the shift. What has increased the weakness of the private sector even after 2003 is the failure of the state to withdraw from the economy, as it still has many elements of production and dominates the oil wealth and the banking system in a large way, and continues to place obstacles in front of the private sector. On these obstacles, the private sector and then the market economy became unable to provide jobs. Employment and absence of modernization of education Education previously was subject to central planning and was employed according to what the party and its leader saw, and this is what has made education dictated by the leader's ideas and ideas, and his focus on quantity rather than quality, because the party does not care about the quality of education outputs as long as the economy responsible for providing job opportunities, with his grip, can guide those Outputs wherever his priorities and his leader are required, not where society and its economy are required. And with the end of the one-party system politically in 2003, the educational curricula and administration were not updated, but remained as it was, and this means that education retardation continues from bad to worse, and this is reflected in the educational outcomes, so its outputs were weak and did not have high skills through which it can To impose itself in the labor market, and thus a large portion of unemployment in Iraq has become the unemployment of educated people. The bottom line At a time when the relationship between education and the market economy should be a direct correlation relationship, it became clear through the unemployment index, that there is a blatant inconsistency relationship between them, and the reasons for its incompatibility, which were represented by the intervention of the state and the withdrawal of the state from the market economy, the employment of education and the absence of its modernization on the one hand, became clear. Education. And after it became clear the disharmony between education and the market economy in Iraq, it became obligatory for those who want to restore the relationship between them to where they should be, to work on two points: First: Addressing the state’s interference in the economy, not placing obstacles but rather overcoming them and fighting corruption so that the private sector takes its real role in the economy according to the principles of the market economy, such as private ownership, economic freedom, competition, and antitrust prevention. Second: Keeping education away from politics, developing its management, and updating its curricula in a way that leads to improving the quality of its outputs, whether human resources or scientific research, and in line with the requirements of the market economy, and thus unemployment is slowly decreasing. * Researcher at the Al Furat Center for Development and Strategic Studies / 2004-2020 www.fcdrs.com
