Mazin Al-Eshaiker, as well as Adel Abulmahdi, is among a shortlist of candidates rumored to be nominees for Iraqi PM.

Sources with close knowledge of internal political consultations have asserted that among the names being floated by political groups for Iraq’s premiership include that of Mazen al-Eshaiker.

Several observers have said that al-Eshaiker might have better chances in case Adel Abulmahdi is not able to grab the opportunity of becoming Iraq’s next prime minister.

Sources said that the political powers had reached a shortlist of candidates for the prime minister position on two conditons: One who would not belong to any party and two, did not hold any position in the previous governments.

Al-Eshaiker meets both conditions.

Speaking to Al Arabiya English, al-Eshaiker said that rampant corruption in Iraq due to the poor choices of ministers who represent the interests of various political parties led political parties in preferring an independent.

“By selecting an Independent technocrat PM who picks his or her own ministers who will be responsible and accountable for the actions of all ministries instead of being accountable to the parties that nominated them,” al-Eshaiker told Al Arabiya English.

Sources also said that the political groups had agreed that the next prime minister would have the freedom to choose the ministerial structure of his government.

Al-Eshaiker confirmed that he was among the nominees for prime minister and thanked all those who trusted him as an independent technocrat candidate.

Al-Eshaiker, an electronic engineering graduate from the University of California in 1985, expressed via Facebook his appreciation for the people’s trust and support for his candidacy. He highlighted that the incoming government has many challenges to improve the political, economic and security situation.

“Ministers needs to be chosen according to integrity, experience and competence standards,” he wrote.

Al-Eshaiker pointed out that Iraq is on the edge economically. “There is no way to continue with the quota system. Dividing the ministries according to the nationalities and sects was the reason for the reluctance of most voters not participating in the last parliamentary elections,” he wrote.

Al-Eshaiker, an economic and political expert, was born in Karbala governorate. He was previously one of the Bairaq al-Khair al mondawi in the Victory Alliance headed by Haider al-Abadi. So far, al-Fath, Saairun, al-Qarar, al-Wataniya and al-Hekma had approved accepted him to be one of the candidates, while he awaits for other blocs to approve.

Al-Eshaiker had established many electronic labs in the US, Mexico, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore, he was the General Manager of Motorola Iraq from 2003 to 2007.

Then he became an economic expert in the premiership before being CEO of Asia cell Telecom in Sulaymaniyah and then he managed the Nalco Oil Company in Basra.

The main factors of al-Eshaiker’s program mainly depends on a strong developmental economic program, aside from the policy of piling employees in the governmental departments and allowing the free economy to take its natural place in construction, industry, agriculture, trade and tourism to absorb the Iraqi competencies and the unemployed labor force, to raise the living standards and service for all the Iraqi people.

Close to him: Allawi's approach to choosing his cabinet was a shock to political forces

 

 

 

10:04 - 03/03/2020

 

A deputy close to Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi said on Tuesday that Allawi's approach to choosing his cabinet was a shock to political forces.

"The number of signatures that were collected in order to determine the required specifications for the candidate for prime minister amounted to 170 deputies, and it seemed acceptable to nominate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi," said Muhammad al-Khalidi, head of the Bayraq al-Khair bloc, in a statement reported by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper and seen by him / the information.

Al-Khalidi added, "The number of signatures that were necessary for his candidacy, which were submitted to the President of the Republic, was 56, and thus he was assigned by the President."

Al-Khalidi explained that “Allawi’s approach to choosing his cabin was a shock to the powerful forces and parties that did not accept the equation that Allawi came up with, according to which he broke the monopoly of the nomination authority for these powers throughout the previous years to those he represented in the government cabin, and therefore did everything that would hinder his passing. Through impeachment quorum sessions, while he completed the cab, and was awaiting approval or rejection in the parliament dome.”

The appearance of Muhammad Salih honestly reveals the true reasons for the failure to pass the Allawi government

 

Policy  ,   03/20/2020 18:56  
 

 

 

Baghdad - Iraq today:

 

The appearance of Muhammad Salih, one of the most prominent members of the ministerial formation of the Prime Minister-designate, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, confirmed on Monday that the failure to pass the Allawi government is due to "the parties that announced their support for the formation of an independent government, did not fulfill their promises and renounced Allawi's support", in A reference to the Shiite alliances, the most prominent of which are the "Al-Fateh" and "Saeroun" coalitions.

Saleh, the candidate within the Allawi government for the Ministry of Planning, who is the financial advisor to the resigned Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, said, "The plan of Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi was to replace the ministers of Adel Abdul Mahdi with others more close to the Iraqi events, particularly the figures that could make a quantum shift at the level of Ministerial action and ending quotas that are legalized by the parties and which are basically not legitimate, "according to the new Arab website.

He added, "Allawi's ministerial formation was independent, and it represents the true technocrats that the Iraqi people demanded through the demonstrations," considering that "if it had succeeded, it would have established a new political and economic system for Iraq, away from partisan and sectarian quotas, and would have controlled the public financial budget and moved away Partisans about it. "

He explained, "Allawi and the ministers he chose were well aware that their success in obtaining parliamentary confidence means that they will face fierce opposition from political forces, and they would stick with their wheel."

He continued, "We were aware that the popular opposition will be harsh on us as well, because the demonstrators do not believe that the transitional stages are the basis for change, not the political revolution and the rapid qualitative change as the young men aspire to in the protest arenas."

On the reason for the failure to give confidence to the Allawi government, Saleh said, "The formation did not receive any political and parliamentary support from the parties and blocs, and even the Saeron Alliance of the Sadrist leader, Muqtada al-Sadr, was supportive of Allawi as a form, but on the ground the coalition members were sitting in (a cafeteria Parliament) did not enter the House of Representatives so that the quorum for the session of granting confidence is not completed. "

He pointed out that "the deputies who attended the session yesterday, Sunday, who are about 108, do not know whether they believe in Allawi or not, because the current parliament came through a political system controlled by the parties."

And Saleh added, "Those who supported Allawi were deputies in a small number, that is, they supported the new independent formation, with their parliamentary and not their partisan qualities, and there are some deputies from the party blocs, who were supporters of Allawi's formation, but they did not take any action because they did not want to break the cloak of their Political blocs. "

He stressed that "the Shiite political grouping in Parliament, which announced its support for Allawi, did not attend the session, although he could have formed a parliamentary majority."

Parliamentary efforts to reduce the interest of bank loans

Wednesday 04 March 2020

 

Baghdad / Al-Sabah / Shaima Rashid

 

The Parliamentary Finance Committee ruled out that the budget for this year 2020 would be voted on due to the lack of time remaining, while its efforts to reduce the benefits of bank loans indicated that it leads to a decline in the economic growth of the country. Member of the Finance Committee Ahmed Al-Hajj Rashid said in a statement to "Al-Sabah": "The issue of interest is one of the methods of monetary policy, and the benefits are measured by the economic activity of the country. The more successful the activity, the higher the benefits and vice versa, meaning that the activity if it is weak must be benefits." Few, and if the government wants to reduce public expenditures, it must increase interest. "

He added that "the economic situation in Iraq is deteriorating and flabby, and the high benefits lead to people not borrowing from banks, and therefore the funds in the banks are idle and inactive money, which in turn leads to a decline in economic growth," noting that "the central bank is responsible for monetary policy It is an independent authority that no one can interfere with, noting that “the Finance Committee will strive during its upcoming sessions to host them and discuss the possibility of reducing benefits.”
As for the 2020 budget, Rashid said, “There will be a budget for this year due to time constraints,” noting that “the 2020 budget It has a deficit of 50 trillion dinars, which is what g Late in the Ministry of Finance, and therefore the parliament can not be passed, and only arrived in the financial statements. "

To that, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, called the boards of directors of Iraqi banks to reduce the interest rate on loans.

Saleh said: "The economic problem of Iraq lies in the fact that the interest rates are high for many reasons, the most important of which is the liberalization witnessed by the Iraqi banks, as freedom was given to the administration of the Council of Banks by determining interest on loans and deposits in the central bank, when one participation is called the monetary policy interest that banks borrow from the bank".

Our economy, the government of voluntary absence and the independence of the central bank

 

5th March, 2020

 

The central banks in the world are independent financial and sovereign institutions in the implementation of their tasks and monetary policies and outline their strategy to achieve their goals in supporting the national economy and promoting economic stability in a way that achieves the welfare of society

After 2003, the Central Bank of Iraq, in accordance with its Law 56 of 2004, followed in the footsteps of international banks, especially after the country passed the economic and financial crisis and security turmoil in 2014 for known reasons

His role was clear in supporting the national economy and achieving economic resilience and on the occasion of the statement of the Prime Minister of the resigned government to the President of the Republic and the House of Representatives and his declaration that he is going to voluntary absence and will not exercise his constitutional and legal powers due to the political reality that the country is going through now and the attractiveness of choosing a prime minister New to the new interim government after the Prime Minister-designate apologized

Going to voluntary absence and not forming a new government means that the 2020 budget will delay its approval and that its economic effects will harm the national economy and consequently will harm citizens and construction and investment will stop and it is expected that the planned deficit will rise to the limits of more than 50 trillion dinars with expectations of global oil prices falling to less than 50 dollars a barrel until the third quarter of this year due to the consequences of the Corona virus and slow growth in the global economy and this is certainly in the case of continued economic conditions in Iraq will lead to economic stagnation and then recession after several months and then we will return to square one Which it is suffering experienced by Iraq in 2015

And considering the essential role played by the central bank at the time when it addressed the economic and security shocks and supported the national economy and helped it withstand good governance and sound policies and applications of monetary policy with daily procedures and mechanisms

As the Central Bank of Iraq administration, its work team, and its cadres proved that they had a prominent role in promoting economic resilience and taking a steady step towards economic stability through wise and rational efforts and measures in the applications of monetary policy and development policies of the Central Bank in the difficult economic phase of Iraq, they were able to draw a clear roadmap for the goals And aspirations to achieve economic stability and stimulate economic growth through important achievements they achieved during the past five years, the most important of which is to maintain inflation by no more than 2% and a good level of adequacy of foreign reserves within Acceptable rates according to international standards, maintaining the stability of the exchange rate, stimulating the banking sector in an organizational, supervisory and supervisory manner, facing the current political crisis and conditions of popular mobility, and ensuring that the Iraqi banking sector is solid and able to withstand shocks compared to neighboring countries that have gone through the same conditions

The available data confirm that the critical situation of the Iraqi economy needs the intervention of the central bank to face the new conditions and this requires the new government to believe in the independence of the central bank and not to interfere in the appointment of its leadership and technical and professional cadres during its interim period and until early elections and the coming of a new parliament and government come because the current administration It proved successful in the most difficult of circumstances and saved the national economy from collapse when the Minister of Finance announced in 2015 that the government would not be able to secure the salaries of employees and retirees. Because the focus is on the independence of the central bank and its distance from tensions and Political interests are the solution to overcoming economic crises and achieving economic stability

Al-Alawi: The Prime Minister cannot be passed without a US-Iranian agreement

 

 

Policy  ,   05/23/25 13:58   

 

 

 

Baghdad - Iraq today:

 

Iraqi thinker and politician Hassan Al-Alawi said Thursday that the prime minister cannot be passed without a US-Iranian consensus.

Al-Alawi said, "Without a US-Iranian consensus, it is difficult to pass a new Iraqi Prime Minister because of the different circumstances, facts and the nature of the conflict between the two parties."

Al-Alawi added, "Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi is an Iranian fancy; but he was unable to persuade even many of the forces close to Iran, because he did not come across the known consensus." Iran has a great influence in Iraq, which has withdrawn from its influence in Iraq, as the Soleimani killing has changed many equations in Iraq and the region, and thus things have become more complicated even in terms of passing a prime minister.

He explained that "the passing of an Iraqi prime minister is linked to external factors; not only internal."

On the ongoing efforts to return Adel Abdul-Mahdi, Al-Alawi said that "Adel Abdul-Mahdi is not a leader; rather, he is a soldier who commands the matter of the power to which he belongs, but he is neither aggressive nor vengeful and also not bold in making decisions, while we need a bold man in making decisions." .
