Parliament and private sector portals

 
Thamer Al Himas
 

Calls for the prosperity of the private sector and its economic importance are very numerous, and this includes its banking and its relationship to the rest of the agricultural, industrial, commercial and educational activities, but when we measure things by their results, this sector is still living in a very narrow field, except for the quantitative expansion in education, in front of the public sector Since 2003, when we entered the transition from state capitalism to a market economy. Perhaps one of the most prominent factors in prolonging the turn is that the private sector, with its agricultural and industrial wings, is due to the absence of legislators who defend it, as the next parliament should have representatives from businessmen and industrialists, private banks, labor unions, teachers, peasant associations, farmers and agricultural companies. The private sector, commercially and financially, has expanded exceptionally in import, and the banking service has been a logistical tributary through the transfer of hard currency and its (very liberal) market, to play a pivotal role, even at the level of digitally supportive companies. After we learned that the stalled and stalled projects amounted to more than 6000 projects, with government projects and factories stalled, paying salaries only since 2003, in addition to a paralyzed mixed sector, why do these opportunities not constitute for Islamic banks, for example, participation, what devotes non-interest in the financial sector? It may need legislation, as well as the rest of the banks and stakeholders, so work with the currency market was and still is the most effective and secure in the foreseeable horizon, at least, and does not need legislation, because the constitution approved the principle of the market economy, and the details of this are according to non-development rhythms. Although the investment law was enacted years ago, the single window (the investor's dream) is still in place, as well as other factors that collide with bureaucratic extortion, so that the latter becomes an essential part of the problem. Perhaps the gaps in the transition to a real economy as an alternative to rentierism, represented in the absence of scientific research in quantity and quality, to become a theoretical weapon in the hands of unions, societies and federations, despite the quantitative expansion of universities that have not moved from education to research, the fact that the commercial nature is a decisive reason, despite the fact that the world's most prestigious universities are civil Like Harvard or Oxford. Sustainable development and the real economy are not achieved through consumer import and the currency market, as they are a guarantee of stability and social balance. As for the state, the agricultural and industrial economy will thrive at the expense of the rentier and parallel economy, the latter is not subject to direct or indirect tax, and this eats into the cliffs of the overall economy. Therefore, the next parliamentary portal will be the only option for industrial and agricultural professionals, with their workers, associations and unions.
