Information / private ..

Independent deputy Nada Shaker Jawdat explained that the main alternatives in budget financing are far from deducting the salaries of employees and retirees, pointing out the importance of relying on communications, border outlets and the currency auction to cover the budget deficit.

"The financial problem has many priorities to overcome without resorting to deducting the salaries of employees and retirees, as the first was to resort to the huge consultative delegation of the Prime Minister before resorting to the option of deduction," Jawdat said in a statement to "The Information".

She added that "ports, border ports, currency auctions and telecommunications companies represent quick resources and finance the budget with large revenues that can be used instead of deducting salaries."

It showed that "the government can take simple measures to solve the salary crisis in light of the low oil prices instead of resorting to salaries, by relying on the resources of sectors other than oil to fill the budget deficit." 25 n ended

Allawi: The economic crisis we face is worse than 2006

 23/06/2020

 

  

Information / Baghdad ..
Finance Minister Ali Allawi warned, on Tuesday, that the Iraqi economy may face "shocks that we will not be able to deal with" unless reform measures are adopted in less than a year.
"If we do not adjust matters during this year, we may face shocks that we will not be able to deal with," Allawi said in an interview with Agence France-Presse, seen by him.
Allawi, who was also finance minister during the transitional government’s period between 2005 and 2006, indicated that the situation today is “worse” because Baghdad faces an “existential economic situation”.
At that point, the price of a barrel of oil was approximately $ 35, but the number of state employees was less than a million.
Today there are more than four million employees, and many other Iraqis who are paid salaries and pensions. This means a monthly sum of between four and five billion dollars.
With one out of every five Iraqis receiving government aid, the bill becomes heavier for the country that depends on paying all its expenditures on oil whose prices collapsed months ago with a severe shortage of demand for it.
According to Allawi, the government must pay the salaries of the months of June and July, on time, by borrowing from government banks.
Allawi warned that these measures are possible for a short period, otherwise "they will affect the price structure, and consequently on inflation, which will in turn affect the exchange rate and the reserve in the central bank." End / 25
