The Follow-up Cell in the Prime Minister's Office revealed today, Friday, that the government will be able to distribute the salaries of the current month of March, while 👉 it will resort to some solutions 👈 to ensure the provision of salaries next month.


The head of the government follow-up cell, Mustafa Sanad, said in a radio statement followed by Mawazine News, that "Iraq's monthly income from oil is currently estimated at one billion dollars only (after the price of a barrel drops to 18 dollars)."


Sanad said, "The salaries of employees amount to 3 and a half billion per month, which may push Iraq to borrow or to print the currency as a last option," as the state of the state will be affected starting from the next month.

The Central Bank of Iraq (Basra branch) for Al-Mirbad: Next Tuesday is a last date to pay the salaries of all employees

The Central Bank of Basra for Al-Mirbad: Next Tuesday is a last date to pay the salaries of all employees

 

The Central Bank of Iraq, Basra branch, announced that next Tuesday is the last date for the payment of salaries of all employees of the governorate departments, indicating that it has begun from the day before yesterday to grant funds and notices to banks for the purpose of disbursing the salaries of employees in all departments in the province.


The director of the central bank in the province, Qassem Raheef, said that there is no delay in the bank’s work, explaining in his response to citizens ’communications in the program that the Basra treasury sent books to the bank, which in turn gave the exchange notice to the banks concerned.


Among Raheef, a financial exchange notice was given to the salaries of employees of the defense, the interior, borders, and the welfare of minors and the Directorate of Education, as well as other departments since yesterday.


Raheef pointed out that the problem of delaying salaries lies as a result of the momentum on some banks and consequently the reason for the delay, considering that it is possible to grant exchange notice for a period not exceeding 15 minutes if you complete what is required of it at the state treasury and banks.


The Crisis Cell in Iraq announced that it excluded the employees of the Central Bank in the capital and the rest of the provinces, as well as employees of the Ministry of Finance and employees of government and private banks from the curfew in order to expedite the payment of employee salaries.

 

(Next Tuesday sounds like an important deadline -JMO)

He pointed out that "when the Ministry of Finance wishes to finance spending on the various spending units and salaries, it requests the central bank to strengthen its account in Iraqi dinars in exchange for withdrawing from its account in dollars .. No amount is deposited into the finance account in dinars unless there is a corresponding withdrawal from its dollar account."

He continued, "The Central Bank Law does not allow him to lend to the government, whether by printing currency or any other way, direct or indirect, and he is entitled to deduct treasury transfers, if they are present in the secondary trading market, as it is one of the tools of monetary policy, if he deems it based On accurate objective data serving the objectives of monetary policy.

Adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, spoke on Saturday of the salaries of the employees, while noting that the government has procedures that will not lead to the stalling of salaries.

And the Iraqi News Agency quoted Saleh as saying that "the salaries of the employees are among the priorities of the government and they have financial measures that will not lead to their failure," noting that "our options to confront the financial situation are heading towards pressure of expenditures."
 
 
He added, "There is a team working with the Ministerial Council to restructure state expenditures," noting that "the issue of printing the currency is only a personal opinion and a proposal that is not consistent with the Central Bank Law."
