A road map for solving the financial crisis

 

A road map for solving the financial crisis
 


a member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Sahib al-Darraji, has proposed a road map to solve the financial crisis.
Given that the economic and financial situation in Iraq has reached the bottleneck stage, there must be solutions applicable to the near and far ranges, and through some of the professional experiences gained in the areas of government executive and parliamentary legislative work, with accumulated experience from working in the private sector and touching the economic and service situation of the Iraqis at various levels. Here I would like to present a short-term road map to contribute to solving the financial crisis and protect the economy of the country must be followed by medium and long-term measures to reform the Iraqi economy and find a clear economic doctrine for Iraq that changes the form of spending and financial resources for the country in a manner commensurate with the societal nature and global ruling conditions for energy prices and the diversity of means Production.
This plan is summarized as follows: -

First: - The general budget
1 - A simple budget for construction and installation must be submitted and approved for the remainder of the year 2020 showing the ruling real revenues and expenditures and what relates to these two items only and the ways of filling the resulting deficit and without touching on any other items.
2 - Building a budget for the year 2021 on a sectoral basis and on a fixed oil price for the operational budget and a mobile for the investment budget, directing the budget for salaries, purchasing the ration and medicines, sterilizing water and the educational process only and listing items that encourage dependence on investment and the private sector to address other sectors so that these provisions govern the budget law All other laws and restrict them in favor of financing the unfunded sectors.
3 - Providing the final accounts for the past years and validating them to know the deficiencies in financing certain sectors in exchange for extravagance in other sectors in order to create an economic balance between the service and productive sectors.

Second: - The cash block:

Withdraw the cash mass stored with the community and try to invest it in an investment through the following: -


1 - Raise the interest rate for cash deposits in banks even if the monetary authority is forced to support the banks.
2 - Establishing projects in which the state contributes a certain percentage and the rest is offered for subscription, especially in projects of city centers (dawn town) and major industrial projects such as petrochemicals (Nebras).
3 - Offering some of the winning companies (or that could win by changing the management tactic) for subscription, such as the air navigation company, airlines, cement, fertilizers, and others.
4- Selling oil coupons locally. At the prevailing price now and buying it a year later at the prevailing price then.
5 - Building confidence between the state and the citizen by committing to pay interest and profits.

Third: - Oil licenses
1 - Negotiating to postpone the dues of oil companies or pay them in kind outside OPEC's share.
2 - Evaluating company spending and reducing them to a minimum.
3 - Re-negotiate in consensual ways with oil companies to improve the terms of contracts for the state when the oil prices drop.

Fourth: - Legislative measures
1 - Revoking the Coalition Provisional Authority's decision to ban the export of raw materials and the export of some materials such as gravel, sand, and others.
2- Requiring the government to start licensing rounds to invest some mineral resources, such as phosphates, and others.
3 - Preparing a new salary scale that takes into account the economic situation and achieves social justice and encourages the employee to leave the job with a set of privileges outside the framework of the job.
4- Prepare a special bill to reduce all allocations granted under previous laws by a certain percentage.
5 - Amending some transitional justice laws and laws that have concessions that are no longer needed.

Fifth: - Governance and automation
1 - The Ministry of Finance issues the e-dinar for the purpose of collecting government revenues and fees and what distinguishes them from being non-negotiable in the market as cash and thus we have reduced corruption in this aspect as well as the state's knowledge of the value of those imports quickly, to be issued by a government bank It is not done through private companies.
2 - Encouraging and organizing electronic payment, obligating banks and institutions to electronic payment, and encouraging sales outlets in the private sector to use electronic payment devices without commissions and ensuring that their accounts are fed by the national exchange in the Central Bank daily.
3 - The necessity of automating the ports and customs and linking them to any process of transferring the dollar or opening bank credits for the purposes of importing and controlling the border outlets and preventing militias and gangs from controlling them.

Sixth: - Monetary policy
A - The exchange rate
1 - Begin to gradually reduce the Iraqi dinar price to reach 1500 dinars against the dollar until the end of the year 2020 and review the economic situation.
2 - And then start another reduction up to 1,800 within 6 months.
3 - Then we study the possibility of deleting the zeros, so we will end with a fixed price of 2 Iraqi dinars per dollar.

B - Methods to address potential inflation and the effects of the devaluation of the Iraqi dinar so that this procedure is accompanied by the following steps: -
1 - Increasing nominal salaries for grades five to nine and increasing the salaries of the social protection network by 12% to reduce the impact of potential inflation on the
 vulnerable classes .
2 - Amending the currency selling mechanism to maintain the hard currency inside the country and that the dollar and other foreign currencies are sold and traded directly in the currency markets or through the stock market in order to get a real price of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar and that the guarantor of the prices is the value of the available reserve The Central Bank of Iraq has hard currency.
3- Government projects pricing in the investment budget in dollars and financing the exchange units budget for the investment budget in dollars.
4- Setting an import platform, stopping some imports, controlling customs outlets, supporting the tax system and exempting the local product from income tax for a period of two years.
5 - The state imports commercial foodstuffs into the market and injects it into the ration program in the event of high prices.
6 - Supporting fuel for public transport, factories and irrigation projects, and giving high relative importance to the food industries.
7 - Pumping a hard currency to the exchange markets to maintain the price level of the Iraqi dinar, which prevents price fluctuation due to possible speculation.
8 - Activating the role of economic security and entering the relevant government agencies to control the cash rhythm in the currency market and the food market.

Seventh: - State property
1 - Liquidate unexploited government assets from real estate, buildings, vehicles, furniture, etc. by selling them or entering in investment partnerships
2 - Selling overdated lands for those overruns at the same price to give a justification for recovering them from those who do not pay (and vice versa it cannot be recovered and ejecting the exceeders)

Eighth: - The private sector
1 - Increasing the credit ceiling of government banks to give loans.
2 - Activating the central bank loan initiative and easing guarantees for industrial, construction and agricultural projects, while controlling payments and linking them to completion rates and opening credits to move the private sector.
3- Finding ways through joint financing or external borrowing to finance government-funded projects and completing projects with
 high percentages .
4- Reducing the restrictions of letters of guarantee and their expenses for ongoing unpaid advances due.
5 - Displaying productive projects for the purpose of investing them by the implementing agencies in exchange for completing them and entering the service.
6 - Moving the housing fund and real estate bank loans to move the construction sector that withdraws unemployment as it is the largest
employer sector .
7- Increasing taxes on imported commercial products and reducing them from imported raw materials to encourage the national product.

White Paper Plan .. Will it be the key to solving the economic crisis in Iraq?

image.jpeg.a0f2f5e82f19532cc4ca9f3221b03304.jpeg

 

15th July, 2020

The Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, described dependence on oil as a failed experiment that put the state and the government into a permanent embarrassment, and there is a plan to break free from his slavery.

Al-Kazemi emphasized that the lack of funds and the lack of liquidity came due to mismanagement and absolute dependence on oil, and there is a "white paper" plan to reform the financial and administrative system to be free from it. He pointed out that Iraq relies to this moment on oil by 95 percent, and this was reflected in the provision of liquidity and hard currency when prices were subjected to collapse, indicating that the private sector, including agriculture, must take its role in building the financial economic relationship in Iraq and the relationship with society and building job opportunities For the citizen.

Will Al-Kazemi succeed in drawing a new economic policy for Iraq?

The economist, on behalf of Antoine, says, according to a report of the Russian Sputnik, that "dependence on oil is not a failed experiment, but it must be harnessed in other economic sectors.Mismanagement and corruption have brought us to what we are now, and the process of transforming the Iraqi economy from oil-dependent rentier is not With the easy process, it needs talents and an honest government, and in general we should start now better than not starting."

Antoine added: "There is a distorted budget in Iraq, where 75% of it goes to salaries and concessions, which pushes the government towards borrowing and mortgaging oil, and the white paper for the Prime Minister needs to be implemented, and the question is who will implement this paper, which needs an efficient and impartial administrative apparatus to achieve it?" ?, The task is difficult in the presence of forces obstructing any reforms and causing the loss of more than a trillion dollars.

He continued: "The real window of reform is to create a safe environment for investment away from extortion and bureaucracy. Otherwise, the country is moving towards decay, because the government did not benefit from the experience of oil decline in 2008 and 2014, because of the same faces in power, and if no sincere faces came It is difficult then to change the economic direction of the country.”

Policy 07/15 2020 22:19 1310     

Baghdad today - Baghdad 

 

, the former adviser to the international coalition, Kazem Al-Waeli, said today, Wednesday, the cancellation or postponement of the visit of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to the American capital, Washington, because of the Corona pandemic. 

Al-Waeli spoke during his hosting on the program (Shortest Roads) , presented by Dr. Nabil Jassem on (Sharqia News) screen about the recent developments regarding the relationship between Baghdad and Washington, saying that "the visit of the commander of the US Army Central Command, General Kenneth McKinsey, to ordinary and traditional Baghdad, which is included in his duties and statements It does not represent the official American mood. "

"McKinsey is a military commander who does not represent the policy of the United States, and perhaps his messages about Al-Kazemi and what he said about an Iraqi desire for the continued American presence to speak in the words of the US State Department, and he cannot say anything without a green light," he added. 

He continued, "I do not think that there is an official decision currently from the Iraqi government requesting the departure of the American forces," noting that "Washington installed the serum system in the American embassy in Baghdad confirms its seriousness in preserving its interests in Iraq." 

"If America wants to get out of Iraq, it will leave and will not remain under the framework of NATO or others."

"There may have been negotiations to legalize the American presence away from combat missions, and perhaps also to stop training missions," he added. 

And that "the American presence at the Harir base in the Kurdistan region may be aimed at protecting the region from any Iranian or Turkish interference."

On the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to Washington, the former US adviser suggested "delaying the visit," saying that "there is a possibility of closing the White House due to the danger of the Corona pandemic, upon the recommendation of the American Institute of Infectious Diseases, and President Donald Trump will stop receiving any of the leaders because of it." ".

Regarding the assignment of the former Interior Minister Qasim Al-Araji to the duties of the National Security Adviser and the American position towards him, Al-Waeli said that "Al-Araji has acceptance from all sides, and he has proven successful during his administration of the Ministry of Interior in the previous period."

Political analyst: The United States is able to support Iraq economically with a renaissance project .. Trump will stay for a second term


127453.jpg?watermark=4

 

Policy 7/15/2020 22:06 581     

Baghdad today _ Baghdad  

 

Political analyst, Ahmed Al-Abyad, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the United States is the only country to help Iraq in its financial crisis, expecting that President Donald Trump will stay for a second term, which requires Iraqi steps to ensure support, according to what he saw.

During his hosting of the program (Shortest Roads) presented by Dr. Nabil Jassem on "Al Sharqiya News" channel , Ahmed Al-Abyad stated that "the United States chose former Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi between lining up with it and obtaining assistance or going to Iran, then they discovered that he was forced to To be under the umbrella of Iran, "noting that" Al-Kazemi is in the middle of the road until now, not with Iran or with America. " 

Al-Abyad added, "Prime Minister Al-Kazemi has two paths, either as a postman between countries on his upcoming visits to Saudi Arabia, Iran and America, or with an Iraqi national project," calling on Al-Kazemi during his upcoming visit to Tehran that "he requests a bilateral dialogue that takes into consideration common interests with Baghdad." ".

He continued, "The current indications indicate that Trump will remain for a second term and this threatens Iranian interests, and we believe that Iran will eventually concede for the sake of its interest," noting that "the United States is able to support Iraq with a renaissance project that needs Iraqi vision and political will to advance its economy."

And on the status of Iraq in the list of high-risk countries financially by the European Union, political analyst Ahmed Al-Abiad said that this means "depriving Iraq of financial transfers between banks, and only Washington is able to support Iraq in this aspect." 

Regarding the issue of removing American forces from Iraq, Al-Abyadh said, "I do not think that Al-Kazemi will risk moving ahead not to implement the decision to withdraw American forces, because he will face perhaps withholding confidence in Parliament, because there are blocs insisting on implementing the resolution, which is capable of collecting a majority of 165 votes."

19:07 - 07/15/2020
 

On Wednesday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee criticized the government statements about its actions, not the budget decision 2020, affirming the government's lack of revenue and expenditure estimates and the lack of proven oil prices.

Member of the Finance Committee Ahmed Hama told Al-Maalouma that the governmental statements about its intention to approve the 2020 budget and send it to Parliament are unrealistic and have nothing to do with reality.

He added that "it is not possible to approve it in the absence of fixed oil prices, as well as the government's lack of estimates of expenditures and revenues."

He explained that "the House of Representatives is in a legislative holiday that ends on the third of September next," noting that "the best solution for the current stage is to approve the final accounts and move to prepare a draft budget for 2021."

He added that "the elimination of the financial crisis is subject to activating investments and bringing efficient or local international companies with a view to introducing infrastructure in residential areas and new lands, provided that their wages are collected from the residents of those areas and with comfortable installments."

And that "most countries of the world do not possess oil, and depend on revenues from services, infrastructure, housing plan and sale of lands to citizens, in addition to industry, trade, agriculture and tourism, but the infrastructure file is necessary in Iraq for the sake of citizen comfort and achieving a great return for the state."
