Yassin Iraq: Baghdad

 

The Oil Products Distribution Company of the Ministry of Oil sent a "strongly worded" ultimatum to Al-Rasheed and Al-Rafidain Banks, due to the delay in spending the salaries of the company's employees for two consecutive months, without knowing the reasons.

A document seen by Yassin Iraq, directing the Oil Products Distribution Company to Al-Rashid and Al-Rafidain banks, showed a strong warning, that commitment to the terms of the salary settlement agreement signed between the company and the two banks should be adhered to, while the company threatened to end the contract and bank compensation.

The White Reform Paper ... a step to maximize the country's financial resources


Wednesday 01 July 2020

Baghdad / Hussein Faleh

 

Economists believe that the white financial and economic reform paper that the government intends to implement will maximize the country's financial resources and reduce unnecessary expenditures and fight corruption, in addition to that it will focus on the living economic aspects that generate additional resources for the state, as it will target the development of productive sectors and the activation of taxes and customs duties . 
Member of the Committee on Economy and Investment, Nada Shaker Jawdat, told Al-Sabah: “Her committee held a meeting with Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi in the presence of Finance Minister Ali Abdul Amir Allawi to discuss the challenges of the financial and economic situation in the country, as well as the white reform paper.”

 
Economic aspects
She added, "The Prime Minister spoke about the reform paper, and emphasized that his government is in the process of preparing this paper, which will target vital economic aspects in order to maximize the country's financial resources, reduce unnecessary expenditures and combat corruption in some parts of the country."
She suggested that "the reformist white paper targets border ports, whether in the central and southern governorates or in the Kurdistan region in terms of controlling them and stopping the rampant corruption in them and forming new departments for those outlets, as well as targeting seaports and activating customs duties on goods to be a money-generating port, as well as Activating taxes on other companies and projects. "
 
The oil sector
She added, "It will also focus on the telecommunications sector, which is no less important than the oil sector, since tax money can be collected by telecommunications companies, and also can benefit from Tunisia's experience in this field, which forced telecom companies to donate billions of dollars, stressing the need to impose taxes on an auction.

" Selling hard currency to the central bank. "

She noted that "the hard currency auction needs to be reconsidered because the amount of money sold daily does not match the size of the importer, indicating that it submitted an application in official books to impose taxes on the money that goes to the imports."
She stressed the necessity of activating the agreement concluded with the Kurdistan region to hand over the dues of the region in exchange for delivering 250 thousand barrels of oil to Baghdad, stressing that the Kurdistan region has not yet complied with the agreement concluded between the two parties while the federal government is committed to paying salaries and dues to the region.
 
Domestic product
She went on to say, as "the government must impose its control on the local markets, imported food and products in order not to compete with the local product, especially in relation to agriculture, pointing out that there are money wasted in the energy sector, as Iraq imports annually gas, oil derivatives and electricity while He can invest gas, build oil refineries, and build power stations within a year or two. "
 
Productive sectors
She stressed "the importance of supporting and developing the productive sectors, such as industrial, agricultural and tourism, indicating that the development of old industries such as dairy, leather, foodstuff, electrical and other industries could generate additional money for the state."
She pointed out that "the government will focus on developing the local industry and imposing protection on the local product to create self-sufficiency from some industrial products."

of Libyan supplies

30th June, 2020

 

Oil prices retreated on Tuesday, as traders deliberately sold for profit following strong gains in the previous session and the Libyan Oil Corporation announced progress in talks to resume exports, which may boost supply

Active Brent crude for September delivery fell 24 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $ 41.61 a barrel, by 0610 GMT, reducing Monday's gains of 92 cents. The August contract, which expires on Tuesday, fell 24 cents to $ 41.47

US crude fell 33 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $ 39.37 a barrel

Corona virus infection continues to increase in the southwest and southwest states, but strong growth in planned US home sales has sparked some optimism that global fuel demand is rising

Analyst: The United States can change the world by devaluing the dollar

 

1024.jpg

 

June 30, 2020 07:33 PM 
 

Direct: An economic analyst claimed that it would be better to depreciate the value of the dollar rather than continue to focus on quantitative easing initiatives, which could change the world. 

"Hugh Hendry," director of investment portfolios at an asset management company, said during comments with the US "CNBC" on Monday that quantitative easing programs, where central banks buy government bonds to pump liquidity into the economy, are not successful. 

He suggested that policymakers should consider the issue of the value of the US dollar rather than targeting bonds as a form of economic stimulus. 

Hendry" pointed out that something is wrong with regard to quantitative easing, saying: "Simply deploying or expanding the central bank's ineffective reserves and trying to spread fear that they are printing real money is actually a scam."

The analyst, who believes that the dollar is the new gold standard, claimed that the real problem is that there is a shortage of green paper in global markets. 

He added that the United States was determined, over many decades, to impose the dollar as a global lending and monetary standard on the rest of the world.

He pointed out that "if she wants to be the king but must behave like the king, stressing that if she is going to impose a standard for the dollar on the world, it must provide sufficient liquidity, and this is in fact what they failed to do," he said. 

And he attributed the wave of large-scale selling last March in part - a period that witnessed a decline in global markets amid growing concerns about the Corona epidemic - to investors having to sell assets in order to create dollars and pay off debts. 

Although the analyst acknowledged that the dollar swap lines approved by the Federal Reserve were successful in that period, he pointed to the need for an alternative approach that supports the economy. 

"Isn't it better not to target bond prices, but rather to target the actual value of the dollar?" He asked. 

He pointed out that there is a need to print less dollars, and that we need the Treasury and not the Federal Reserve to rise in the forefront, which would change the world.

By 12:58 pm GMT, the main index of the dollar, which follows the performance of the American paper against 6 major currencies, rose by more than 0.1 percent to 97.662.[/size]

%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9
 

13:08 - 01/07/2020

 

The deputy of the Iraqi Iraqi Forces Federation, Zaytoun Al-Dulaimi, confirmed on Wednesday that the House of Representatives has full conviction of the difficulty of sending the budget for the current year despite our time to submit it within three months, indicating that there are many reasons for not sending the budget for this year.

Al-Dulaimi said in a statement to "Information", that "the House of Representatives has become fully convinced of the difficulty of submitting the 2020 budget because the government is working with the money it receives and that the public treasury does not have significant funds from outside of the money it receives."

She added that "the ruling data confirm that this year does not have an integrated budget, but Parliament continues to communicate with the government in carrying out reforms and it closely monitors these measures."

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi Council of Representatives voted on the third of June voted on a decision obligating the government to send the budget within a month.

The committee member, Adnan Al-Zorfi, said, according to the official media, that "the salaries of the employees will be launched by the Ministry of Finance during the coming days after the completion of transferring the procedures for transferring cash from hard currency to Iraq."

He added that "the reason for delaying the payment of salaries is due to the procedures for the currency conversion period and not to transfer the salary payment every forty days as it is rumored."

Earlier, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi directed the Ministry of Finance to expel the salaries of employees.

Al-Kazemi's economic agenda focuses on encouraging investors, attracting talent, and converting oil revenues into development projects
 

146055.jpg?width=750&&height=375

 

30th June 2020

Iraq seeks to lay the blocks for reviving the multi-resource economy, which relies on oil revenues excessively, and the first step on this path, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi's meeting on June 22, 2020, with the Chairman and members of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy and Investment to discuss economic, financial and administrative reforms And plans and strategies to meet the challenges faced by the country.

Special sources say to Al-Masala that Al-Kazemi attaches the utmost importance to encouraging foreign and local investors to work inside the country, attracting the existing talents inside and outside, and improving the low level of services, transferring oil revenues to development projects.

According to economic reports followed by the obelisk, the most important thing that impedes the entry of foreign investors into the country is the political instability of the Iraqi state. The Economic and Investment Committee revealed an intention to amend the investment law to encourage foreign and domestic investors to invest inside the country. And local media quoted a member of the committee, Mayada Najjar, as saying, during press statements, that the current investment law repelled investors, as well as the killer routine in promoting investment transactions.

Najjar explained that the deliberate neglect of the competencies that exist at home and abroad and pushing them away from the circles of work and application, and bringing those who are characterized by partisanship and belonging to political blocs is harmful to the business climate.  Global reports indicate Baghdad's ability to tackle unemployment and poverty crises, improve the low level of services, and combat bureaucracy and corruption are still limited.

Al-Kazemi finds support from the economic community and Iraqi parliamentarians for the reform steps announced by seeking to establish an investment fund for future generations. Member of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy and Investment Nada Shaker Jawdat said that the Prime Minister's reform steps are moving in the right direction, the most important of which is the transfer of oil revenues to development projects.

Iraq ranks 172 out of 190 countries in the annual World Bank Index for ease of doing business, and this classification reflects the difficulty of entering the market of the OPEC member country. And Iraq has vast potential to attract foreign investors, thanks to the population of about 40 million people, which makes it one of the largest consumer markets in the Arab region.

The Iraqi economic scene is witnessing a relatively small shift in the extent of global companies’ willingness to work in the country, and analysts believe that Iraq’s compliance with the International Monetary Fund can enhance corporate confidence and give a glimmer of hope, especially after Iraq obtained the first credit rating despite being high risk.

Al-Saffar reiterated that "the implementation of Law 12/1 is not permissible in such circumstances, because the general situation of the country differed, and everything related to revenues, oil prices and exchange gates also changed, so without a budget approval the government is not entitled to receive any revenue, and the legal cover The only one is the Budget Law." He pointed out that "the committee communicates with each other via the Internet because of the health status of the Corona pandemic and the disruption of the council," noting that "the proposals that the government must legally put in place are that the government works to send a semi-annual budget for the next six months; it includes the operational budget only And part of the investment approved by the House of Representatives within the borrowing law, and up to 15 percent of the amounts borrowed for ongoing projects in the 2019 Budget Law, and approved in the House of Representatives, with work to prepare the budget of 2021 with both its operational and investment aspects, and that is the legal solution.”

Al-Saffar stressed that "the government should focus on the operational side of the semi-annual budget, as well as focus on moving the investment part for 2020 to the budget of 2021, and that the government start preparing the draft budget for 2021."
