That you are robbed as you go through the chaos and congestion in the streets of Allawi Hilla or the eastern door or in any market Valqdeh expected because (denial) spread regardless of the place, but to steal from a bank said it was approved by the Central Bank of Iraq, the issue needs more than a question, and Al-Warka Bank for Investment and Finance was established in 1999 and when it was established, its objectives were formulated to contribute effectively in the field of economic development of the country in accordance with the provisions of the Central Bank of Iraq and its instructions and the law of companies and other applicable laws.

The Other specialized offices, including brokerage offices for the sale and purchase of financial shares and the Office of Foreign Exchange, the bank also had a large deal with all sectors (government, mixed, private), the bank's assets amounted to 694 billion dinars and capital of 105 billion dinars in 2010, at which time Some expected that the Warka Bank will turn To compete with government banks inside Iraq or to be at the level of regional and international private banks and reliable in bringing the desired development in the banking sector,the bank has witnessed a fall to say the least that it is a dramatic and unexpected fall and contradicts all views and indicators of development and the increasing rise in performance levels, overnight The bank has become insolvent and unable to meet customer withdrawals and does not provide banking services and facilities to them under the pretext that it suffers from an administrative crisis, and instead of taking measures to ensure the rights of depositors and investors through borrowing, merger or other transactions. GAT, it failed the large number of dealers with bank branches in Baghdad and the provinces and outside Iraq when the disappearance of the administration and the lack of visibility or authorization and reassure depositors on the safety of their deposits, but it has been closing or suspending the work of most of the branches and only the operation of the bank's headquarters in Arsat al-Hindi False and Evade


From 2010 to date, depositors have received only false promises because their money has not been returned to them. All that has been distracted is distributing cash payments in humiliating amounts to deposits of less than 10 million dinars in a selective and bureaucratic manner. 
The authority overseeing the private banking sector in the country, because the disruption of the return of the amounts deposited in dinars or dollars by a bank under the authority of the Central Bank of Iraq is a clear violation of the Constitution, which stipulated in many articles that the private ownership of the citizen must be preserved as an act contrary to the standards of honesty and transparency 

The tedious years of dealing with the bank have not been free from the promotion of rosy news or other colors that have nothing to do with depositors such as placing wills, filing them, submitting to local arbitration and passing international arbitration.

What is the benefit of such news and depositors' money evaporate during these years due to high inflation rates and low rates?

Benefit After placing the bank in the D rating and then moving to the C rating on interest and banking, some might argue that Warka is not the only national bank that has failed customers as other private banks have done the same thing to the public and the central bank has done nothing about them.

The bank exchanges accusation with the Central Bank of Iraq regarding the release of funds to the bank's public, which makes them in a difficult situation, although they have absent funds between the Warka and the central, which is not corruption, but appointed corruption because corruption is related to funds difficult to disclose their sources and stolen, while the Warka funds exist and undeniable Confidence officially and all you need is a decision to return it, and add to that the Bank Warka (spoiled) government for reasons we do not know yet has been subject to the patronage and tenderness of the Central Bank of Iraq, as he was allowed to enter the dollar auction daily for more than a year, and has banking transactions With the auction sell currency daily as indicated by the daily bulletins

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi holds protesters responsible for postponing the Baghdad International Fair and completing the 2020 budget


12568.jpg

 

3rd November, 2019

 

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi held protesters in Baghdad and other provinces responsible for postponing the Baghdad International Fair and delaying the completion of the 2020 budget

" We postponed the Baghdad International Fair for a period of time because of the situation, and delayed the completion of the submission of the 2020 budget," Abdul-Mahdi said in a press release issued a month after the October demonstrations, and was seen by the "Economy News

He added, "Many countries are concerned about the situation of the country, as well as the owners of development projects nationally and externally, not to mention the internal interests that have been stalled due to the events, which have suffered and suffered great losses, which requires a rapid return to normal functioning

He stressed that "the threat of oil interests and cut off some roads to Iraq's ports cause huge losses exceeding billions, and delays the arrival of goods, and this and other raises the prices paid by all citizens and the poor, especially disrupting the provision of jobs and the growth of the economy and put patients at risk because of the closure of medical clinics and obstruct the movement of ambulances

 

I'm calling :bs:  AGAIN !! on the Iranian puppet PM Mahdi and his Iranian influenced government.

 

More pathetic superfluous dialogue and rhetoric.

its time for  PM Mahid and his Iranian influenced government to  hit the road ...:butt-kicking:

Kap never walk his own theory....

He said the exchange rate of dinar will increase gradually from 1190:1 to 1:1 over a certain period of time ( 6 months, 1 yr or even 2 yrs).

 

😎 any exchange rate movement from 1190:1 to 1:1, no matter how 'gradual' they are,  no matter which way you are looking at it ~ they are going to be huge, massive & enormous.

And I think Kap needs to understand, the relationship between exchange rate and economic development....


My main problem with his theory is price stability. The very mainstay of CBI policy and existence (not to mention IMF policy as well).

 

~ How do you maintain price stability if the exchange rate keeps changing on a daily or weekly basis? 

 

~ then there is domestic borrowings. If today (@exchange rate of 1190), a small trader borrows 5 million dinar (abt. 5000 USD) for a period of 12 months.....how much will he be paying back monthly and how much will he be paying back eventually, 5 million dinar or 5,000 dinar? 

 

~ How often will every government Dept and companies in Iraq, will have to adjust their employees salaries (as the exchange rate keeps changing and increasing)?

 

~ traders changing their prices everyday day? every week?

 

And jumping onto the bigger issues ~ how do they plan and manage the cost of reconstruction?

~ And how do they purchase their raw materials (when exchange rate is rising)? Do they purchase them now (and pay with more IQDs), or hold it until later (pay with less IQDs).

~ What if every contractor decides to hold until later (until when the exchange rate reach 1:1)? What  happens to their reconstruction plan?

 

~ what if, even the govt decides to hold, as it will more viable to do so economically? Will their economy still be buzzing?

What if everybody then decided to keep their money and not spend them now?

And then...of course, the currency speculators. What do you think they will do when they see the exchange rate of IQD keep rising and rising on forex?

 

For me, no country will allow these kind of exchange rate uncertainties, hovering over their economies ~ there will be financial chaos.

 

Iraq and IQD is not yet in open market and based on that point alone, we know that the value of IQD was never at equilibrium/true value, so........to avoid financial chaos (in open market), CBI/Iraq need to price their dinar accordingly and as close to market equilibrium as possible and keep it STABLE from then on (allowing appreciations or depreciations within certain range, just like any other countries in the world).

 

We are currently waiting for Iraq to re-price their currency (IQD) before taking the next big step to move into open market. And I sincerely hope, 1190 is not their starting point.

 

excellent Zul...

Tehran fury as Iraq’s Shiite leadership rejects Iranian ‘interference’

download

The mass demonstrations in Iraq have heightened tensions between Najaf’s supreme religious authority, led by Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Al-Sistani, and Iran’s supreme religious leader Ali Khamenei, sources close to Sistani told Arab News on Saturday.

Baghdad and nine southern Shiite-dominated provinces have been witnessing mass demonstrations since Oct. 1 as people protest over corruption, unemployment and lack of daily basic life services.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi and his Iranian-backed allies led a brutal crackdown on demonstrations in its first week, killing around 150 protesters and wounding 7,000 others.

The demonstrations stopped for two weeks but returned last Friday after Abdul Mahdi vowed under local and international pressure not to use live ammunition. Despite this commitment, more than 250 demonstrators were killed and more than 6,000 wounded, mostly in Baghdad and Basra.

Most demonstrators in Baghdad and Basra were killed by tear gas canisters, while in the other provinces by gunfire of guards of political parties and armed factions, whose headquarters had come under attack from protesters.

Demonstrators’ demands increased to include the overthrow of the government and early national parliamentary elections preceded by a change in the election law and the appointment of a new election commission.

Iraqi political forces and armed factions backed by Iran would be the biggest losers if the demands of the demonstrators are met, top senior officials and politicians said.

Sistani is the leader of the world’s Shiite community and is the most influential man in Iraq, considered the godfather of the political process since 2003. Although there are many religious and sectarian points that he and Khamenei share, Sistani does not adopt the theory of velayat-e faqih and does not recognize absolute right of the clergy to control the state.

The two men have been at odds over managing the situation in Iraq for years, but it turned into a rupture a year and a half ago, according to Sistani’s associates.

The dispute resurfaced last Wednesday, when Khamenei demanded in a public statement that
the demonstrations in Iraq and Lebanon end. Many Iranian clerics have accused Iraqi demonstrators of being in the pay of Israel, America and Britain during their sermons at Friday prayers in the past few weeks.


Sistani, in an open letter read by his representative, Sayyed Ahmed Al-Safi, in Friday prayers said that no one is a guardian of the Iraqis and that no person or group or regional or international party has the right to impose their will on them or determine their choices regarding the management of their country or the reforms that they want.

Sistani’s message “irritated Khamenei and worried his allies in Iraq,” Iraqi politicians and sources close to Sistani told Arab News.

“The message was earth-shattering,” a top senior Iraqi official said. “No one, especially Khamenei, expected that Sistani would announce his rejection of their intervention in this way.

“Iran threw all its weight behind Abdul Mahdi. They believe that this government is their government and they cannot allow it to fall.

“Any early election or amendment to the election law would mean losing the control of their local allies over the country, which they would not allow.

“They (the Iraqi forces backed by Iran) are currently rejecting any solutions to get out of the crisis and any activation of the constitutional procedures that can dismantle the crisis, means launching an endless cycle of violence because they they have weapons and power.”

Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards who runs Iran’s operations in Iraq, arrived in Baghdad on Thursday and asked to meet Sistani on Saturday to discuss the latest developments and try to calm the situation between Najaf and Tehran, sources close to Sistani said.

“Sayyed Sistani’s office agreed to his request to meet,” the sources said.

“Sistani now has an interest in meeting him to tell him directly about their displeasure with Iranian positions.

“Although Sistani stopped meeting with any of Sayyed Khamenei’s envoys more than a year and a half ago, now the country’s interest requires his meeting Soleimani.

“Their groups (Iranian-backed forces) are ready to burn the country and the message must reach them clearly.

“The Iranians must take their hands off the demonstrators and curb their groups.”

Budgets and financial control


Monday 04 November 2019

Thamer Alhims 

 
Quantitative accumulation leads to a different new quality, so the logic says, the accumulation of knowledge does not vary in place but extends continuously with his world and his environment shake off the old days and thus the rest of the accumulations that result from life positively or negatively. But leaving things on their own is usually derailed due to the loss of the declared objective that traditional or added safeguards do not protect.

For example, the SAI did not keep pace with the budgets, which led to the loss of the principle of measuring things with their results, so that the regulatory element is merely a tabulation process and not corrections. 

Administrative surplus.

Financial control points to large irregularities, for example, it found that the investment budget is lost between the operational budget projects as a gateway within the powers not authorized to order transfer, which may open the door to corruption through lag, and thus violated the investment budget for administrative reasons.

Financial control is effective despite its respectful cadre and its relationship with a service board that will put the right man in his right place and cross to the West Bank and put solutions and open the impasse reached by the quota, and thus we are forced to make understandings (Christa and work) with China and the US Import and Export Bank, All this because we can not bet on our executive to come down as a partner with the investors, while we have the resources envied by friends before the enemies if we rely on ourselves to move to activate our hoarding and convert it to savings instead of international conditions for borrowing. Ktens by oil revenues represent 77 percent of the cash Ktltna, here should be the role of the private banks Balavadh comes from this block and using them to serve the national economy and make it the perfect capital cycle achieve the highest benefit levels for our national economy, and the orientations of attention poultry production provided 600 thousand jobs.

At the same time, the Governor of the Central Bank said on 18/9/2019 that the size of the foreign currency reserves exceeds the standards International.

World Bank assesses the situation of Iraq and the future of its economy

 

World Bank assesses the situation of Iraq and the future of its economy
 
 
2019/11/4 11:49 
 
 
The World Bank issued its report on Iraq and its outlook from the previous years.

The report showed the following results:

1. In the absence of structural reforms and accelerated reconstruction, Iraq's recovery may be short-lived, and growth is expected to continue its positive path and peak at 5.1 per cent in 2020. However, growth is expected to slow to 2.7 per cent. cent in 2021.

2. Higher spending with lower oil prices will lead to the expected fiscal deficit at 3.3 percent of GDP in 2020 and will remain in a similar scale in 2021. It is expected that the ongoing fiscal deficit will raise public debt to more Of 48 per cent of GDP by 2021.

3. Lower oil prices and increased imports will keep the current account balance in deficit, with GDP expected to average 4 per cent over the period 2020-2021. This is expected to be financed in part by the accumulation of previous international reserves. As a result, the CBI's foreign reserves are expected to fall to an estimated US $ 51 billion (or 5.7 months of imports) by 2021.

The report also illustrates a range of challenges facing Iraq

- a fragile political environment
- a 
total reliance on revenues. Oil
- lack of services, corruption and lack of jobs.
