I ran a search and could not find where this IMF report had been posted


REGIONAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Mideast Sees Fragile Recovery Amid Conflicts and Transitions

IMF Survey
 

October 27, 2014

The Middle East and North Africa region continues to experience lackluster growth for the fourth year in a row, the IMF said in its latest regional assessment.

The IMF’s Regional Economic Outlook, released on October 27, projects growth to increase slightly to 2.6 percent this year (see table). Growth could pick up in 2015 if security conditions improve.

“Intensifying security problems, including from the deepening conflicts in Iraq and Syria, pose downside risks to the outlook. The regional economic impact has been limited so far, but an estimated 11 million of displaced persons are already putting pressure on budgets, labor markets, and social cohesion in neighboring countries,” said IMF Middle East Department Director Masood Ahmed who unveiled the report in Dubai.

“The region needs sustained, stronger and more inclusive growth to markedly reduce unemployment—a critical issue facing nearly all countries in the region,” Ahmed added.

CAR102714A-B.jpg

Oil-exporters need a new growth model

The IMF expects overall growth of the region’s oil exporters to remain subdued at 2.5 percent this year owing to the deterioration of security conditions, mainly in Iraq and Libya. Growth could pick up next year, but a possible further deterioration in security conditions in Iraq, Libya, or Yemen, could deepen economic disruptions and derail the projected recovery.

The IMF cautioned that, on current fiscal policies, oil exporters’ fiscal surpluses are set to vanish by 2017 and noted that all countries outside the Gulf Cooperation Council and Bahrain are running fiscal deficits already (see chart 1). The marked decline in oil prices by 20 percent over the last two months adds to fiscal risks.

“If oil prices stay at current lows for a prolonged period, oil exporters on aggregate could move from fiscal surplus to deficit already next year,” Ahmed told reporters. For countries that have buffers, it will be important to adjust their fiscal positions gradually to limit the drag on economic growth, he added.

Key reasons behind weakening fiscal and external balances are large energy subsidy and wage bills. These countries need to contain government spending to ensure fiscal sustainability and to bequeath future generations an equitable share of the resource wealth, says the report.

CAR102714A-C.jpg

Oil exporting countries have been relying on a growth model that was dependent on growth of government spending on the back of rising oil prices. To transition to a more diversified, private sector-driven model, Ahmed said that countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council in particular would benefit from the following reforms:

• Encouraging the efficient production of tradable goods and services rather than activity in non-tradable sectors with low productivity growth;

• Reducing distortions in labor markets that foster the private sector’s reliance on foreign labor; and

• Improving the quality of education so that it better matches private-sector needs.

Priorities in countries outside the Gulf Cooperation Council include improving the business environment, addressing infrastructure bottlenecks, and enhancing private firms’ access to finance, says the IMF.

Oil importers need reforms to create jobs

The IMF highlighted some positive trends in the region’s oil importing countries. Exports, tourism, and foreign direct investment are gradually improving in some cases as political uncertainties ease.

In addition, many countries—most notably Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan, and Tunisia—have made progress in containing their energy subsidy bills. The objective has generally been to re-channel part of the savings to support growth and reduce poverty through better-targeted social safety nets and growth-generating investments in infrastructure, healthcare and education. Countries are also using part of the savings from subsidy reform to rein in fiscal deficits, says the report.

Nonetheless, the combination of deep-rooted socio-political tensions, structural bottlenecks, as well as spillovers from intensifying regional conflicts, has been holding back growth from reaching the levels needed to reduce the prevailing high rates of unemployment, the IMF says.

Against this backdrop, the IMF expects economic activity in these countries to remain lackluster this year at about 3 percent, and to pick up to about 4 percent in 2015. However, this outlook still faces significant risks.

“Spillovers from regional conflicts, setbacks in political transitions, as well as lower-than-expected growth in key trading partners could undermine even the modest recovery that we are expecting for the region,” Ahmed said.

The report also cautioned that debt-to-GDP ratios are still rising and gross external financing needs for this group of countries are expected to reach $100 billion next year. The IMF urges many of the oil importing countries to maintain the reform momentum going forward to bring down high unemployment rates (see chart 2).

CAR102714A-D.jpg

“For most people in the region, improvements in their living standards are not being felt yet as some reforms take time to bear fruit,” Ahmed told the conference. Building on the efforts underway would help ensure a sustainable public debt path and promote confidence in the future, which in turn would help boost growth and create job opportunities, he added.

The IMF emphasized that lasting improvements in medium-term growth and job prospects will require deep, multifaceted transformation to spark economic dynamism in the private sector, leading to higher growth potential, more jobs, and less inequity.

“To enable this transformation, policymakers should articulate and implement a bold and credible economic reform agenda that enjoys broad public support. Giving priority to reforms in the business environment, education, and labor market efficiency will be critical to boosting potential growth,” said Ahmed.

The report added that additional financing from the international community, a focus on capacity building, and enhanced trade access would support countries’ reform efforts and allow for more gradual and less painful macroeconomic adjustment. The Fund remains strongly engaged with the region through policy advice, financial support, and technical assistance.

Long-Presse / Baghdad

Intends Government Basra, which met their portfolios, recently, the head of the government, Haider al-Abadi, in Baghdad, back to the capital to collect the money, "rounded" since 2013, the past, not be returned to the province in the current year, while demanded Kirkuk, in the meeting which brought together Abadi, the first on Thursday, with 15 governors, to maintain output from the circle areas "militarily fallen," asserting that the security forces are in control throughout the province except Hawija (55 km southwest of Kirkuk).

While officials attended the meeting, which touched on ways to implement the amendments to the powers of the provincial law says 21, that law enforcement mechanisms did not move a single step since the legislation last year.

 And faces the law, which is expected to expand the administrative and legislative powers to the provinces, according to local officials, obstacles set in front of the most important application of a lawsuit revocation made under the previous government, and refused to hand over some of the political blocs "share" of the ministries to local governments.

He says the governor of Kirkuk, Necmettin cream, in an interview with the newspaper (range), "The meeting, which brought together governors of Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdistan region, with the prime minister, discussed the issue of the popular crowd and volunteers who support the security forces in the liberation of the areas under the control of so-called organized Islamic State (Daash) ", and refers to the" vision Abadi and heads of local governments, to go to those groups are organized by the Ministries of Defense and Interior and Local Governments of the Governor. "

He adds cream, that "the conferees called for the need to increase support of the security forces, the People and the crowds in the provinces of Anbar, Salahuddin and Nineveh," and shows that "Abadi discussed several topics with the Conservatives highlighted the problem of liquidity, and give priority to the strategic and security projects, in government expenditures, and the implementation of the amendments Law 21, "and asserts that" law, which faces a veto from the Maliki government, agreed upon in each of its paragraphs, even those relating to the security aspect, which would allow local governments to act freely with the local armed forces, with the exception of the Federal Police, which will be one of the central functions of government. "

 

The Second Amendment's powers governorates not organized province, which challenged the previous Council of Ministers of the law, legislation angered team Nuri al-Maliki, last summer, and step revolutionary for the application of the principle of decentralization, which is stated in the Constitution, and remained a dead letter, and treat Parliament after severe claims, particularly MPs from Basra and Nineveh, where he participated in the writing of the amendments advisers from Canada and experts in the federal systems.

 

But the governor of Kirkuk, says, "The implementation of this law mechanisms has not moved since the year 2013 enacted the past."

Under the law, the transfer of powers of the nine overalls service to the provinces, and this requires, according to the governor, "a long time for the preparation and development of the Angels that will work on those broad new powers."

And continue to cream, "you correct the ignorance of the government on the security situation in the province, where they viewed that as if an area under the control of Daash, while Daash not only dominated the Hawija."

And see the governor of Kirkuk, that those "erroneous perception has led to restrictions on the transfer of funds to maintain and converted, and the allocation of projects as not safe, despite the invalidity of that."

Controlled militants (Daash), after the fall of Mosul, on the tenth of June, the government and security buildings in Hawija, and aspects of Zab, Riyadh and Al-Abbasi and Rashad, west of Kirkuk, without resistance from security forces, which pulled out of them.

From the other side says, well-informed views in the province of Basra, had attended a meeting the governor, Majed Nasraoui, with the Prime Minister, in an interview with the newspaper (range), "The local government will revert back to Baghdad after the approval of the Prime Minister, in order to get a rounded funds from last year in 2013, belonging to the province, has not been launched in the current year 2014 ".

Show those actors, that "al-Abadi was Mtfhma funds retained in the case, as it was also serious about expanding the decentralization of powers to the provinces."

This confirms figures attended the meeting, that "Abadi vowed to launch financial allocations for strategic projects, such as electricity and security issues, despite the budget deficit."

Conversely skeptical senior member of the Council of the governor of Basra, Ahmed Al Sulaiti, the possibility of granting "broad powers" to the provinces, attributing the cause to the difficulty of giving up some political forces on the ministerial quotas, which fought for it, "a long conflict."

It is expected Sulaiti, in an interview with the newspaper (range), that "this incident is repeated with the next government, which will not accept the transfer of ministerial powers to the provinces."

The Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, has presided over last Thursday, (the sixth of this November), the supreme body for coordination between the governorates not organized province with the participation of governors and heads of provincial councils and deputy ministers meeting, and said that the priority in spending in the current conditions in Iraq for projects that stimulate economy and support the armed forces, noting that the government is seeking to create a local security systems for managing files, maintaining security, rather than the army.

He also said a statement issued by his office that has been the focus of discussion during the meeting of security cooperation between the provinces and the affairs of the displaced, and the axis of the expansion of powers of the provinces, according to Law No. 21 of 2008, as amended.

The prime minister in his speech at the opening session that the purpose of this meeting is to the success of the provincial labor and building healthy relationships with the federal government to achieve the supreme interest of the country and the provision of services and infrastructure development.

***WHAT THE CBI BANKING LAW MAKES NO MENTION OF – ISLAMIC TRADE NOR ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, because these laws on Islamic Trade and Electronic Signature law (only the one from 2012) do not fall under the auspices of “Banking laws” – they fall under Trade and Telecommunications, respectively.

 

*** BABE I JUST DID A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CBI BANKING LAW AND THE GAZETTE BANKING LAW – THEY ARE THE SAME – CHECK IT OUT PULL BOTH UP IN TWO/INDEPENDENT WINDOWS – SIDE BY SIDE

OKAY, NOW HERE’S SECTIONS FROM THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW (2012) FROM THE GAZETTE. WE FIRST NEED TO EXAMINE DEFINITIONS – I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED KEY PHRASES WE MAY HAVE MISSED LAST TIME WE EXAMINED THIS.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS ONLY THE ORIGINAL LAW FROM 2012 

THIS NEW ELCTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW FOUND HERE: http://www.iraq-lg-law.org/en/node/2602

REMEMBER, THE NEW ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW, TITLED: “Order No. 3 of 2014 electronic funds payment services issued by Council of Ministers resolution No. (186) for 2014” (Here are the two main dates mentioned on the first page – within first paragraph is the date: “03-18-2014” and the date in the next paragraph is “04-15-2014” and the date in the lower left corner is “06-23-2014” and the publication date in the gazette is “06-23-2014”

IS UNABLE TO BE TRANSLATED RIGHT NOW/ONLY AN ARABIC PDF – SO I HAVE ONLY EXAMINED THE LAST PUBLICATION OF THIS LAW FROM 2012 –

BY COMPARISON, BASED ON THE PARLIAMENT SITE’S STATEMENT OF THIS LAW, IT PERTAINS TO ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE (ONLY) RE/IN ARAB COUNTRIES – BUT YOU SEE THAT THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF THIS LAW (AS IN THE GAZETTE VS THE PARLIAMENT CITATION) HAS NO MENTION OF “ARAB” OR “ISLAM” OR “COUNTRIES” – SO THIS MEANS BECAUSE THE MOST RECENT ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW POSTED IN GAZETTE IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, STATES THAT IT IS THE LAW AS APPROVED BY THE COM – THE COM HAS BYPASSED THE PARLIAMENT AND JUST UPLOADED IT:

Ok, from what I'm interpreting from this article as it states:

 

The CBI was granted leave under No. 94 of the 2004 law for more than 18 branches of foreign banks, including 8 of Lebanese banks and 5 banks Turkish and banks Iranians, in addition to the branch «Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank» and another for «Standard Chartered Bank» and for «Citibank »British, in the context of opening up the banking sector to foreign policy and encouraged him to open branches in Iraq, or to participate in the Iraqi capital of banks, as this has a positive impact on the national economy and the financial sector.

The CBI has bypassed the government amendment of this law to allow private banks to participate in activities that were one forbidden. Even the private banks of Iraq  were bound by articles 27 and 28 of the banking Act.  Private banks in Iraq are pretty much bound to making money by selling foreign currency. They have not been allowed to make money form loans or other banking transactions, and today we see the CBI giving foreign banks the opportunity to carry on what the state owned banks have only been able to do.

 

Article 27 Banking activities

 
1. A bank may engage in the following activities subject to the terms and conditions of its banking license or permit:
 
a. receiving money deposits (in the form of demand deposits, time deposits or other types of deposit) or other repayable funds, bearing interest or not;
 
b. extending credits (whether secured or not by collateral or liens), including without limitation: consumer and mortgage credit; factoring, with or without recourse; financing of commercial transactions, including forfeiting (purchasing negotiable instruments at discount without recourse); and financial leasing services; subject to regulation of the CBI, a bank may charge interest on interest, and the total amount of interest it may receive shall not be limited by the principal amount of a credit;
 
c. buying and selling for its own account or for the account of customers (including underwriting and brokerage services) of any of the following: money market instruments (including checks, bills of exchange, promissory notes and certificates of deposit); foreign currencies and precious metals; exchange and interest rate instruments; stocks and other transferable securities; and forward contracts, swap agreements, futures, options, and other derivatives relating to currencies, stocks, bonds, precious metals or interest rates;
 
d. entering into contingent commitments, including guarantees and letters of credit, for its own account and for the account of customers;
 
e. providing clearing, settlement and transfer services for money, securities, payment orders and payment instruments (including checks, credit, debit and other payment cards, travelers’ checks; and bank drafts, wire transfers, and pre-authorized debits and credits);
 
f. money brokering;
 
g. safekeeping and administration of valuables, including securities;
 
h. providing trust services;
 
i. providing services as portfolio manager of securities or as financial adviser, agent or consultant;
 
j. providing financial information and credit reference services; and
 
k. anything that shall be incidental to the foregoing and such other activities, not prohibited by Article 28, as the CBI may by regulation authorize as banking activities.
 
2. The CBI may, in its discretion, and subject to such conditions as it may stipulate, require banks to conduct certain banking activities through separately capitalized subsidiaries that are wholly or majority-owned by the relevant bank.
 
Article 28 Prohibited activities
 
No bank shall engage in or participate as an agent, partner or co-owner in wholesale or retail trade, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture or fisheries, mining, building, re-insurance, insurance underwriting or other business activities except for activities that are authorized by Article 27. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and with the prior written approval of the CBI, a bank may temporarily carry on or participate in the carrying on of such activities to the extent necessary to obtain satisfaction of claims, provided that the CBI may require the bank to cease such activities by a date specified in the license or permit.
 
Article 29 Prudential requirements
 
1. Each bank shall develop and maintain internal policies in the form of maximum and minimum ratios, exposure limits, risk-management standards, investment policies and other prudential ratios to be maintained by the bank concerning its assets, off-balance sheet items and various categories of capital and reserves. Such internal policies shall be consistent with regulations on prudential requirements issued by the CBI pursuant to paragraph (3) of this article. 
 
2. In particular, banks shall establish and apply internal policies on prudential ratios governing:
 
a. their liquid resources in relation to the value or change in value of their assets (including guarantees and collateral received), or in relation to their liabilities, provided that banks shall be permitted to meet the requirements concerning liquid resources by maintaining with the CBI money deposits of an equivalent value;
 
b. the maximum aggregate amount of all or certain categories of their credits and investments;
 
c. the classification and evaluation of assets, and provisions to be made on the basis of such classification and evaluation, and the time when earnings on non-performing loans may no longer be accounted for as income except as received in cash; and
 
d. prohibitions, restrictions or conditions concerning: (i) the types or forms of credits and investments made, and liabilities assumed (contingent or otherwise); (ii) matching as to maturity and interest in respect of assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise); and (iii) unhedged positions, exceeding a specified ratio, in foreign currencies or precious metals; exchange and interest rate instruments; stocks and other transferable securities; and forward contracts, swap agreements, futures, options, and other derivatives relating to currencies, stocks, bonds, precious metals or interest rates.
 
3. The CBI shall by regulation prescribe prudential requirements as well as the common procedures and methods of calculation to be followed by banks in their application. The CBI may specify requirements, prescribed in response to exceptional circumstances, concerning the rate of interest, maturity and other conditions applicable to any type or form of financing extended or received (including deposits) or applicable to contingent liabilities.
 
Article 29A   Net domestic assets required for branches of foreign banks
Each branch of a foreign bank, if so directed by the CBI, shall maintain in Iraq an excess of assets over its liabilities to third parties other than any other office, or any affiliate, or any subsidiary of the foreign bank in such amount, if any, as the CBI may direct.

What's your take on the 1199 market rate? I'm trying to keep my excitement tempered but things seem to be really coming together:)

The dinar is pegged to the Strengthening US dollar. I believe much of the foreign reserves are held in New York in USDs.

I forget the percentage that they must maintain between Market and posted rates.  I think i've seen this somewhere in an IMF document

Buitifldrm might no what their monetary regime requires.

 

If the market rate increases the Central may make a move with the rate , pip for pip.

Then again maybe not.
