He added that "the launch of bonds may have a positive impact on the reserves of the Central Bank as the amounts received in foreign currency, and if it does not have a positive impact does not have a negative impact, because the dollar bonds against the Ministry of Finance transferred to the dinar by the Central Bank The situation is neutral, and there is no negative impact, but positive, as it is a strengthening of the reserves of the Central, which is the agent of the government and manages such operations.

"The decision to launch the bonds is not made by the government through the public budget because it is not launched only by law, and there are positive indicators in the case of the need to issue such bonds, and there is a successful experiment if it is decided in the budget for 2018 there will be foreign bonds."

Al-Alak pointed out that "recourse to external financing is one of the options to cover the deficit, because the size of internal domestic debt reached high levels difficult to expand, because it affects the liquidity of banks that buy part of the remittances of the treasury."

"Iraq towards bankruptcy" ... Experts warn of a decline in reserves of cash

Roudao - Erbil

Warned the expert in the economic affairs, Mohammed Abdul Rahman, from the decline in Iraqi reserves while continuing to rely on the "unilateral economy", which is the export of oil. 

"The debt of Iraq has reached 120 billion dollars, and with the fluctuation of oil prices, the cash reserves may see a frightening decline," the academic Abdul Rahman told the RODAO news channel. 

He attributed the dependence of Iraq on the export of oil as a major source of income of the country to weaken the domestic process in front of the volume of foreign exchange and therefore the Iraqi cash reserves may see a decline. 

He added that Iraq depends too much on the "unilateral economy" of the export of oil in the absence of development of other sectors, including agricultural and industrial, and all those reasons may push the reserve of cash to decline.

He also warned of entering Iraq in danger again, with the continued withdrawal of the Iraqi government from the reserves of the Central Bank to address the growing deficit in the budget, with the decline in oil prices globally and the country's consumption about one third of the budget on monthly salaries. 

"Iraq is on its way to bankruptcy and the Iraqi government will be unable within two months to secure the salaries of state employees by relying entirely on the Iraqi cash reserves,
which are about to come into force," the sources said. 

He added that Iraq has been adopted since the era of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on the export of oil and the importance of reviving the rest of the country's natural resources did not enter the country in the spiral of "bankruptcy."

where is the truth?

 

13:22 25.12.2017(Updated 13:30 25.12.2017)
 

Interview with the economist Dr. Karim Al-Fatlawi Professor of Economics at Mustansiriya University

 
 
00:00 / 15:43

 

Iraq's foreign currency reserves fell to $ 49 billion in 2017 from $ 80 billion in 2013. Unemployment and poverty rose by 25% and 30% respectively in 2017 compared to 12% and 19%, respectively, before the war against the terrorist "Da'ash" .

 

As well as losses of infrastructure estimated at 350 billion dollars as a result of the destruction of about 80% of them, and the decline of electricity capacity in Baghdad for about 8 hours a day. 
The International Monetary Fund expects the Iraqi debt to reach around $ 123 billion in 2017. Where recently Iraq has borrowed from the International Monetary Fund and some countries in order to fill the budget deficit and cover the expenses of the war against the organization "Daash." Many economists expect Iraq to turn into a new economic policy largely different from its previous economic policies after parliamentary elections in May next year.

On this subject says Dr. Karim Al-Fatlawi:

Because of the war against the organization "Da'ash" terrorist in addition to the political and social conditions led to this economic recession in Iraq, and this recession is accompanied by a drop in oil prices, and as Iraq is a country of rent depends on its imports of oil, Iraq's revenues decreased significantly with an increase in expenditures , Especially the war expenses, in addition to the loans obtained by Iraq from the International Monetary Fund and conditions set by the Fund, also increased the financial crisis.The budgets of the past year, as well as the budget for this year, are free of jobs. This indicates that the level of unemployment will rise, and this unemployment can not be absorbed by the private sector because of the weakness of this sector. This has led to a decrease in foreign exchange reserves in Iraq. The crisis is absent from the plans and strategies of the Iraqi government, and the lack of a vision for the coming years, and the solutions that offer nothing but a patchwork solutions, political differences, all indications indicate the need for Iraq to an economic vision for the future.

Mr. Prime Minister of Iraq stresses the need to diversify sources of income, which is a very important point, but how, this subject is so far unclear.

 

I think there is no way out of this crisis at present and in the short term, except by resorting to treaties with some countries. Iraq needs the international community, because the problem that happened to Iraq affects not only Iraq but the entire world. Is a global threat, so the government should invite countries to invest in Iraq, and this requires the Iraqi government to create an environment conducive to investment. The Iraqi law in the field of investment is a weak law and many of the gaps and the capital is cowardly, To security, and Iraq after the victory over the organization The security situation is pointing to stability more than it was, but political upheaval impedes the creation of a safe environment to attract investment.

 

Iraq is a great investment opportunity, it is from a rich country, and on the other hand suffers from the collapse of infrastructure, but it needs economic plans to manage this issue.

Names, companies and fake bills that outperform billions of dollars

مستشار Investment Advisor to "(Range) sale window currency theft state will close next year and forwarded to the forgers to eliminate

 

Economists say that the sale of the dollar in the Central Bank of Iraq is one of the reasons for the failure of the economic development of the country and the theft of state funds, as the fictitious profits earned by the bank has exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars, at a time depends more than 90% of the work of the auction On the false invoices and companies and individuals with fake names, according to investment adviser Thaer al-Fili, who reveals in an interview for "(range), that the government decided to close the auction next year and the transfer of all documents and forged files to the judiciary.

The opening of the auction of the currency in the Central Bank of Iraq on a daily basis (except public holidays), where the offers of banks and financial transfer companies and banking in the form of a closed envelope, the presentations are the quantities requested or offered by banks, and where determine the central prices, banks and financial transfer companies and companies Registered Banking sign a pledge in which you agree that all information and financial statements you provide are correct and otherwise bear all legal consequences.
The adviser and expert on investment Thaer al-Fili, said that the subject of the window selling the currency in the Central Bank of Iraq since the period is traded in the seventh unit of economic reform in the Prime Minister, as this auction disrupted the contribution of banks in development and disrupted the work of the Iraqi private sector, To close the selling window of the dollar in the first quarter of 2018, and Iraqi banks to leave living on this window and is directed to the development of the Iraqi private sector and private investment, in order to start a real investment revives work and development in the country through the revitalization of the private sector.
Faily explains why the decision to close this window for several reasons, saying: We all know in 2004, the US Coalition created the window of sale of foreign currency and continued until now and was the reason for the time financing the purchases of the Iraqi state of the dollar on the fact that oil sales were and still stored in the Fund Especially on the basis of the fact that most of the private sector banks have increased and become 95% of their work is to get the dollar from the window between the currency, any of the currency auction in the Central Bank, which is the reason for the fictitious and profitable profits earned by the bank at the time of The currency is not in any country in the world, and Iraq is now the only country that has a currency auction in this way that contribute to the loss and full depletion of the Iraqi economy.
Al-Faily confirms that all economists believe that this auction is one of the reasons behind the backwardness of private sector development in Iraq. The reason is the fictional figures that Al Nubuk earns from this auction. However, all the banks in the world are developing. When one is established, it must contribute to development and boost the economy. By private sector, only Iraqi banks have no contributions in the private sector at all, and if some of them have contributions they are no more than shy and do not exceed their "2 or 5%" contribution, while 95% of the banking activity depends On the currency auction, because the profits earned by these banks and that For the size of 7% per day, per week up to 35% of their profits, up to an annual rate of 1820% profit this imaginary reality can not believe him one, a percentage will not be realized in the event of his money if invested in the private sector.
If we take the example of a bank that invests its money in the private sector, the highest rate of profit it will earn will be 10%, which is also high. The 10 million dinars contributed by the bank will return with one annual profit of one million dollars, which is the normal level for all the banks in the world. And a high level where most banks live on the rate of 2 or 4 or even 5% and have achieved natural profits, not to mention that this percentage of profitability "2 or 4% contribute to the revitalization and development of the wheel of the economy in the private sector.
He said: "The 10%, the high rate in the case of an Iraqi bank invests 10 million dollars in the auction of the currency, which they do now, one day the bank will receive 600 or 700 thousand dollars, while in the week will get 3 or 3 and a half million dollars From the auction of the currency, and annually will get from 160 to 180 million dollars profit of ten million dinars, so naturally the bank goes away from the development of the private sector and away from investment in it, which has frozen and frozen our investment in the private sector, despite the presence of 46 banks have recently arrived To 50 banks, a private sector whose contribution was still very little and did not exceed 3% Private sector. In Fili:
But in any case, the sale of currency depletion of Iraqi energies and funds and the theft of the state budget will not continue at all, because there is a decision will be issued gradually by referring all files of fraud to these banks to the judiciary, and there will be a real chase through cooperation between the concerned authorities to disclose documents and papers Counterfeit to banks, because we want to finish soon the process of auctioning the currency that rely on the wrong documents. 
The central bank sold $ 413.4 billion in the currency sale window between 2004 and 2016. The central bank sells the dollar at 1190 dinars. The central bank decided to set up the currency auction to finance the foreign trade of the private sector and transfer money To individuals outside the country and to cover the market's need for foreign currency.
The central bank has defended its measures to open a window for the sale and purchase of foreign currency, which was considered a way to ensure and stabilize the dinar exchange rate.
