White Paper Calendar

Saturday 24 October 2020 23

White Paper Calendar

 
Yasser Al-Metwally

In addition to the above, future professions will depend on artificial intelligence, knowledge and communication technologies, while our university outputs most of them are not related to these disciplines, and the paper lacks the foundations, type, conditions and means of implementing governance, as it has been referred to without clarification of the mechanisms, objectives and means of implementing them. Finally, the paper lacks a definition of implementation tools for the proposed reforms in terms of quality, quantity, time and place.
We hope that the government will take into consideration these observations and proposals to enrich the paper and present it in its entirety. It is a completed paper as I mentioned, but it lacks some of the aforementioned notes.

White paper and sinks

White paper and sinks

 
Thamer Al Himas
 

There is no doubt that the white paper cannot be crammed into a particular current, ideology, political, social, or ideological spectrum, as it raised the Iraqi concern above the sub-identities, so it is a roadmap for its flexibility, objectivity and Iraqi identity.

The private banks have defaulted for mostly objective reasons, reflecting the instability at all levels. The white paper has diagnosed and wrote the recipe, but there are those who say that we have been hearing for 17 years that there is a restructuring of the Rasheed and Rafidian banks. Together with the rest of the official banks, they account for 90 percent of the monetary mass. Without restructuring, the monopoly of banking remains governmental, so restructuring becomes the infrastructure on which the public and private sectors in banks in general, including foreign banks, are based, as an encouraging prospect. 
For the purpose of framing the infrastructure by restructuring the Rafidain and Rasheed banks, the economic identity must be defined in response to the challenges of the current experience, with its bitterness, between oil rents and the fragility it revealed through the white paper indicators.
Capital is not as cowardly as it is rumored, as it is objective and practical, as it often reaches the risk of risk. The objective conditions for banking, in light of what was stated in the paper, diagnosed the existence of cheap labor in light of unemployment of 31 percent among the youth, with 6000 businesses lagging, Governmental companies and factories lose and the state pays their costs from the public treasury to become a financial burden on me 
The budget.
 On the other hand, we have liquidity that encourages people to buy consumer goods through various advances or loans launched by banks, which may be organized in coordination with consumer associations, government banks and electronic payment companies, but there is a problem with payment at present represented by late payment of salaries.
Therefore, the paper focused on insurance to cover risks, as stated in page 56 of the paper, paragraph 4, by reviewing the Industrial Bank Law and increasing its capital, in order to expand its business base, and present it as a model for reforming other government banks. 
So the white paper has put its hand on a defect, the least that is said to be fundamental, for the central bank remains the supervisor of the roles of banks in coordination with the relevant authorities smoothly and laws and instructions do not accept jurisprudence so that private banks can play a fundamental role in sustainable development without which banks return to an unenviable role. -
