New salary scale and inflation concerns

Khudhair Hussein Al-Saadawi

Still a lot of segments of the population is waiting impatiently for the new salary scale approved by the Iraqi parliament recently approved by the Council of Ministers, which carries with it it seems a lot of hope in raising the living standards of the sectors

State officials and those who have suffered deprivation and need, despite pay large charged by the employee as compared with the previous regime but high prices and all goods and services lost huge salaries importance and the hope and promise remains obsessed with inflation and rising prices again haunt the citizen that the high prices become a global phenomenon not confined to Iraq only, so the government are invited to take into account the phenomenon of inflation, which will accompany the anticipated increase in wages since it is not reasonable to pump in the Department of monetary circulation of the country billions of dinars, without the price increase or is happening to inflation, it is worth mentioning that higher prices related to economic ties to inflation ..Economists know inflation ((a few commodities chasing a lot of money)), it must be the economic planners in the country to take this phenomenon into account and to not only benefit the citizens of the increase in salary as long as there is a direct correlation between salary increases and higher prices. For information, prices began to rise before the employee receives one dinar from the expected increase ...

This introduction leads us to in-depth study of the reality of the economic activity of the country and the tributaries of national production and observed at the production in country is a result of the policies of dictatorship impromptu and unplanned economic planning is the Iraqi economy and still one-sided that is dependent by 99% or say 100% on imports of oil and so far , and these constitute a major threat to future generations because there is no industry or agriculture or any other activity that supports and imported oil any simplistic sense that the government sell oil to meet our needs, daily food and medicine. What if I run out of oil, or turns the world into a new source of energy even in the long run As happened when the world has turned from coal to oil how to be a state of the economy of Iraq, certainly we will not distinguish anything about Africa's poorest countries that are threatened by starvation and living on the charity organization.

So far, no clear Government's economic program in a clear and obvious is that they have abandoned the economic outlook of socialism and state ownership of all means of production and state control of all economic activity, has yet to be seen to note that the state controlled all means of production, but we know that in the approach Socialist there to protect the national production of goods and services produced locally in order to develop local production and the trend toward self-sufficiency, but which notes that the Iraqi market has become a byword for all produced in the world of goods and lost Iraqi goods between the brands famous not only brought the attention of any individual is ((making in Iraq)) after it drowned this item apart from the competition due to lack of ability to cope with the global product of efficiency, quality and reasonable prices.

One may say what is the relationship, including the salary scale according to say that there is a dialectical relationship between the frequency and means of production and national economic well-being of each country the higher the balance of trade of any country, any positive value of exports is greater than the value of imports is reflected in one way or another on the income of the individual.

Iraq is an agricultural country and this is what we have studied and I met him, but successive governments and the different doctrines of economic tried to twist this fact and declare that Iraq is a country agricultural, industrial and which has distracted effort of the State between the fields of agriculture, industry and the result we have not lived in any of them stayed agriculture in the country were primitive and backward after he proceeded dictatorship to Empty the Iraqi countryside of the workforce in agriculture through a policy of unplanned imposed by the wars waged by the system when it encouraged migration to the city by granting plots of land housing for servicemen and families of the victims in war and missing in the cities and give them the money to build housing in the neighborhood had become a burden on the cities of services designed where the numbers of information from the population. Faced with this situation the legislator Iraqi economy and the new government to announce its economic present and future is going in the footsteps of previous regimes in the socialist approach and control over all productive enterprises, and this is not possible amid the financial and administrative corruption was rampant in the country, which threatens economic disaster since the State is preparing to eliminate the twin terrorism, which is administrative corruption, after finishing the eradication of terrorism, which began its rules break down in most areas where it has taken root, or is it pursues a merger between the socialist concept and the concept of capital in getting the Iraqi economy, I say humbly that the state should be directed to the development of the agricultural sector to promote it to become a tributary important in enhancing the national production has been suggested previously that the ((agriculture durable oil)), especially since all the ingredients of Agriculture found in Iraq, such as:

Labor, capital and agricultural land vast and untapped so far, and abundant water, both irrigation Alchristi or by proxy all of these things followed by other steps, including:

1 - Activating the role of agricultural colleges and institutes and the emphasis on acceptance of children of peasants and farmers in these colleges and institutes.

2 - Granting the graduates of these colleges and institutes loans or grants with lots of agricultural land and provide them with the State agricultural mechanization for the exercise of their functions in these farms.

3 - To encourage migration from the city to the countryside after the provision of services to the villages and rural areas.

4 - Attention to livestock through the provision of fodder and subsidized by the State as well as veterinary services.

These proposals are not difficult to achieve the State budget of more than 50 billion dollars, according to Oil Minister that oil revenues will reach 100 billion dollars by the end of this year, it's great wealth we need to think carefully about how to use them in the development of resources other than oil and, most notably agriculture because it is not arbitrarily be called Iraq the land of black.

What I remember in the siege, when the state was compelled to support the simple to the agricultural sector, the area on the outskirts of the province of Dhi Qar is the hand Dawaya recorded the highest production in the yield of tomato and became fed most of the domestic market of the province and neighboring provinces, although that state support was limited for farmers in these areas for the reasons known to say of competing Iraq in the production qualities of good rice, and everyone knows Fame regions Mashkhab in the production of top quality rice is Amber, from competing with Iraq in the production of the finest and best types of dates in the world, Inafsn in the presence of rivers immortal Tigris and Euphrates in the abundance of waters, not deserve this wealth to stand the government in a long time to produce the food basket of the citizen, which provides cash to the State can be at its disposal in the area of health or education.

Iraq has always been called the "Cradle of Civilization" which could mean the" Paradise" spoke about in the Bible. It's a pity they have suffered so much because of having so much natural resources ambitioned by others.
