Donziman Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 This looks like a way to track all money and where it's going. The biggest scams ,as we all know, are done thru the auction. Maybe the bad guys will not be so quick to steal the money if the CBI can track it. Seems like fake invoices showing a need for dollars purchased, better end up in the listed sellers bank account. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public budget figures have reached high amounts over the past years," the bank said in a statement. "On the basis of this, there is a lot of debate among specialists and non-specialists about these large dollar revenues and what size and how they were disposed of and the doors of spending, we hear from time to time shaded data based on inaccurate information that harm the reputation of Iraq."

yota691 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Transparency and disclosure A consistent approach to the CBI Articles Samir Nusairi The Central Bank of Iraq issued a detailed report on the revenues and expenditures of Iraq for the years (2005-2017), considering that the Central Bank is the financial adviser to the government, which manages the accounts of the Ministry of Finance of foreign exchange of Iraq's exports of oil, which is the main supplier of foreign currency and constitutes about 93% of the total Budget revenues and 65% of GDP. The report showed high transparency and disclosure on the accuracy of the data as revenues totaling 706 billion dollars and government expenditures totaling 703 billion dollars and the remaining was converted as the opening of the Ministry of Finance for 2018. The main and most important thing in this report is the most obvious and significant part of the government expenditure over the years, which focused on operating expenses by a large percentage, security expenditures, the war on terror and government revenues in light of the contracts concluded by the ministries, particularly electricity, oil and service ministries. Which occupied the salaries and wages of the highest proportion of them. It also notes that the report clearly indicates that the highest oil revenues achieved in 2012 and the highest spending achieved in 2013 and the lowest revenues achieved in 2016 and analysis of the data in the report we note that the Central Bank of this report to public opinion as follows: 1 - The data contained in the report confirms the transparency and disclosure of the Central Bank of Iraq for the first time since 2003 at least to declare a certified and transparent report of the total revenue from foreign currency and total expenditures of the foreign currency of the government according to approved exchange doors. 2 - The data contained in the report refutes all information data authorized by specialists and non-specialists in the various media. 3 - The data contained in the report has nothing to do with the sale of currency and foreign reserves of the Central Bank, which exceeded the limits of 56 billion dinars, which are measured enough to cover private sector imports, which are enough to 15 months in the event of non-export of oil. I think that the central bank's disclosure of the foreign currency data with the exact accuracy required me and my colleagues and researchers to conclude that the continuation of oil prices at current rates or a slight rise due to the economic, political and security conditions that surround some regions of the world during the remaining months of 2018 will help That the price of Iraqi oil source up to $ 67 a barrel (net), which will increase revenues and cover the deficit in the budget will increase foreign reserves and provide the government with space and good flexibility to implement its service plans and investment Views 22 Date Added 31/07/2018 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalDinar Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Iraq has spent more than $700 bn oil wealth since 2005 By AFP PUBLISHED: 09:40 EDT, 31 July 2018 | UPDATED: 09:40 EDT, 31 July 2018 e-mail +1 An employee stands at the Zubair oil and gas field, north of the southern Iraqi province of Basra on May 9, 2018 Iraq has raised more than $700 billion from oil since 2005, but almost the entire amount has been spent, the central bank announced Tuesday. "Between 2005 and 2017, the finance ministry has taken in $706.23 billion dollars in foreign exchange" from oil, it said in a statement. "A total of $703.11 billion, or 99.5 percent of the amount, has been spent," it said. Since Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared victory over the Islamic State group last December, marking an end to decades of conflict in Iraq, social grievances have boiled over in a series of protests. After erupting in the oil-rich southern province of Basra on July 8, unrest has quickly spread to several cities, as people have vented their anger over unemployment, high prices, power cuts and a lack of usable water. Fourteen people have been killed in clashes between security forces and demonstrators, frustrated over the lack of basic services in what has been ranked one of the world's most corrupt countries. According to parliament the equivalent of $227 billion in public funds in Iraq, OPEC's second largest crude exporter after Saudi Arabia, has gone missing through shell companies. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-6011177/Iraq-spent-700-bn-oil-wealth-2005.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Dollar Matching Significance 02/8/2018 12:00 am Dr.. In the name of Brahimi Well did the concerned in the Central Bank of Iraq when they announced two days ago in a clear statement matching the imports and expenditures of foreign currency for Iraq for the period from 2005 to 2017, in the context of the stabilization of the financial transparency, which we call, and this statement came at a time when the confusion arrived To the end, to the extent that some have said we have lost a thousand billion dollars for others to pass this speech without evidence, which drew a big question mark about the fact that happened on the financial side during the said period and if the previous speech is not accurate, what are the exact numbers . Some of the statements unfortunately were issued by people specializing in economic affairs, but it seems that they have other goals, as they say, forgetting the truth of what this talk of a negative impact on the overall economic relations and not only political, as the relationship between economy and politics are becoming so difficult to separate the boundaries of the relationship between them, According to his role as consultant and accountant for the government, the central bank records the movement of the government account (the Ministry of Finance), which prompted him to announce these figures to clarify the facts. The figures revealed dollar revenues of 706 billion dollars during the period 2005 - 2017 was spent 703 billion dollars, and the rest is a round balance is at the expense of the Ministry of Finance, about 70 percent of revenue went to the budget expenditures, especially ongoing, which are mostly salaries and wages, while 22 percent went to government imports, 6 percent to oil contracts and military contracts, while the remaining 2 percent was used to cover Iraq's debt payments. Some of them comment on the statement that it shows the financial statements of revenues and main doors of expenditures in terms of size and proportion without analyzing the efficiency of performance, and we see that this is normal in light of the state institutions because it is not within the jurisdiction of the Central Bank, but the competence of other supervisory or supervisory institutions to follow up spending and exchange doors with This is another topic that the statement did not aim at, and therefore we must prove the positive signs that this statement carries in presenting the facts and communicating with the public in a transparent manner in order to be a good year for all other institutions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
