He pointed out that "a large number of projects have been transferred to investment during the past years, but most of them are either lagging illusory projects," noting that "thousands of dunams have been acquired for several years without any progress or progress in the projects."

He stressed the need for "coordination between the commission and other ministries concerned with investment to expedite the completion of investment projects," noting that "the National Investment Commission and the authorities in the governorates are required to take the necessary measures immediately to cancel project licenses that recorded a percentage (0 to 35%) and the time period has expired."

Al-Kazemi continued, saying, "We are working very hard to launch a comprehensive investment campaign in which Iraqi and foreign investors participate. Iraq is a great country and has great talents, and we must work hard to take advantage of them and encourage investors to work on strategic projects in the country," noting that "investment provides a better life for Iraqis."
And it reduces the pressure on the government in the field of recruitment, as it will provide many opportunities for the unemployed."

He stressed that "bureaucratic procedures and corruption are among the reasons that impede investment and we are working hard to address them, and just as we started a campaign against corruption, a major investment campaign must be launched," warning at the same time against "leniency with the corrupt or offenders or what harms the national interest of the country."

He pointed out that "the decisions that I made today regarding the delayed and unfinished projects and the withdrawal of licenses will be attacked by the corrupt, but we are continuing with them and it is part of our reform project."

Najjar said, in a statement issued by the National Investment Commission, that the portal grants investors a number of privileges after creating their own accounts. It includes the ability to submit and disclose all the required documents electronically and follow the status of the requests to see if they have been approved, rejected, or are still under study, in addition to adding the information authorized by the concerned investment entity.

Najjar emphasized that this approach came within the framework of the commission’s serious endeavor to reduce the red tape and bureaucratic procedures that often accompany the application process, and to reduce the possibility of the investor being exposed to any form of deliberate delay or extortion in a way that contributes to creating an attractive investment environment.

Baghdad - Iraq today:

 

“The deadline given to the corrupt by the government to settle files and return the money voluntarily has apparently ended, and the stage now is comprehensive accountability and no one will escape from it.”
 

With these words a political source concludes what is happening now in Baghdad, where he sees that “President Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi reasonably prepared his comprehensive war against corruption, and offered a settlement to return the stolen money of Iraq, and he meant that exactly as it turned out, and that the man is determined to recover the money, after accountability, and he will not be satisfied with the arrest of the corrupt. "

In an interview with (Iraq Today), he describes the scene in the political and governmental corridors, that the autumn season has come in its time for the corrupt, whose files have begun to be subjected to in-depth criminal investigations, and it seems that escaping from the grip of the Diwani Order 29 Committee headed by the human rights team Ahmed Abu Ragheef has become distant Very fetched. "

He added, "The major task of the Al-Kazemi government was to organize early elections and restore the prestige of the state and the law, but the man put an important agenda on his program, as if he was saying that any early elections and restoring the prestige of the state and the law can only pass through the path of eliminating the corrupt, so he goes on despite - Since it has no party, no bloc, and no clear political support - moving forward and will not back down anyway. "

The Iraqi Public Integrity Commission announced the issuance of arrest warrants and summonses against 58 current and former officials accused of corruption.

"The judiciary issued eight arrest warrants and 50 summonses against current and former officials last March," the commission said in a statement.

And she added, "arrest warrants against a deputy in the Iraqi parliament, a former deputy, a former minister and a former deputy minister."

The statement indicated that the arrest and detention orders included current and former governors, as well as 25 executive directors of state institutions, including current and former officials, in addition to a number of government employees appointed to temporarily fill vacancies.

The statement indicated that 22 members of local councils and others are also wanted by the authorities.

The commission did not name the parties concerned or the charges against them, and it was content with their involvement in corruption cases.

In February 2020, the authority announced the issuance of 82 summons and arrests against former and current ministers and their subordinates, in addition to summoning 624 executive directors during the year 2020.

Last August, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, formed a special committee to investigate major corruption files The tasks of implementing arrest warrants were assigned to the Special Forces headed by the Prime Minister.

Cash) ".
 
 He added, "Where the desired market demand for foreign currency is met by exchanging the dinar for foreign cash that is in the possession of the monetary authority, because that authority is the monetary issuance authority, that is, it is the one who issued the same dinar and it is concerned with preserving the stability of its value and purchasing power."
 
 He continued, "Those excess levels of cash liquidity in dinars are pressing, generating a demand for foreign currency, which means a demand for foreign goods, services and benefits, as foreign currency contributes to financing Iraq's foreign trade, that is, import trade, which provides the supply of foreign currency and mainly to the market that is in the bank’s possession.
 
"The Iraqi Central Bank, no one else, through the accumulation of its efficient reserves of foreign currency represented by the very high coverage of the dinar, so the Central Bank undertakes the sale from its window that practices defense of the stability of the exchange rate within its official prescribed limits of 1450 dinars per dollar."
 
 He pointed out that "based on the foregoing, the daily monetary policy operations that perform their function by controlling the monetary liquidity in dinars and exchanging it at a stable exchange rate (as a nominal fixer of the external value of money), that is, to absorb that liquidity after exchanging it in the foreign currency at a fixed rate, it must be reflected in the stability of the exchange rate and from Then the price calm and stability successively, because the price is the value of the currency, expressed in money.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi issued on Wednesday a decision to suspend the operating licenses for 1,128 unfinished investment projects, saying most of them are either too slow to be completed or are fake.  

“This chaos must end,” Kadhimi said during a visit to the National Investment Commission, according to a statement from his media office, saying sustainable plans and strategies are needed.

"There are thousands of acres of land that have been acquired for investment projects for years without any progress being made.”

The PM called on the Investment Commission to suspend 1,128 projects that are up to 35 percent finished. 

"I will be held accountable, according to the law, for any failure to rectify the situation,” Kadhimi said.

In August, the PM formed an anti-corruption committee in a campaign to combat corruption, an issue which factored into the outbreak of the Iraqi protests in October 2019.

Iraq’s parliamentary integrity committee said on Monday that it has “big corruption cases” against a number of former and current ministers, with an anti-corruption body saying it issued 58 warrants and summons last month.

Iraq is ranked one of the most corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency Internationalwhich ranked it at 21st in 2020.

A member of the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee, Falah Al-Khafaji, confirmed today, Wednesday, that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi is trying to present achievements, but some obstruct his moves.

"The Iraqi government decided to open importing vegetables to control prices," Al-Khafaji said during the (Deep Breath) program broadcast by the "Tigris", pointing out that "a non-Iraqi company is following the movement of the dollar in Iraq."

He added that "there is a major collusion of the Parliamentary Finance Committee with the government regarding the price of the dollar," noting that "Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi is trying to present achievements, but some obstruct his moves."

Concerning the recent statements of the Minister of Finance, Al-Khafaji commented, saying: "The Minister of Finance declares that he lives in another country," adding that "the white paper cannot be applied on the ground."

He noted that "what falls on the shoulders of the government at this stage is to return its accounts because the citizen will not be silent in the next stage," considering that "the contractors' compensation came because of their association with the political blocs."

Speaking about the Investment Authority, he stated that "the Investment Authority has been suspended since Sami Al-Araji's exit, while the current president is unable to manage the authority."

Al-Kazemi will visit the United States next July

image.jpeg.fd03d321b475642afce9646cfeebe062.jpeg

 

22nd April, 2021


A member of the Future Bloc in Parliament, Sarkut Shams al-Din, revealed, on Thursday, that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi's visit to the United States of America is expected next July.

Shams al-Din said, in a statement received by Mawazine News, a copy of it, that "the United States of America is in the process of writing a strategy for the Middle East, including Iraq, next month."

From the American side, it will be provided to Iraq after this stage and how relations will be with it, and he will be informed of what this strategy will include with regard to Iraq." 

He added, "Al-Kazemi was the first prime minister in the Middle East that US President Joe Biden called after he won the elections and was installed as president of the United States."

Shams al-Din stated, "The Iraqi-American dialogue focused on shifting the tasks of the American army and the coalition forces in general from combat to training, in addition to the responsibility of the camps in which these forces are located to the Iraqi side after completing the task of training them to maintain their security and protect the foreign forces present in them."

So that the camp would be a pure Iraqi, with few American trainers present."

The deputy added, "Within the dialogue, the Iraqi side pledged to protect American forces before the complete withdrawal and diplomatic missions, and to confront any attack on them, whether by missiles, explosive devices or others, and foreign forces cannot intervene or take any step towards these attacks," stressing that "

This mission will test the ability of the Iraqi army to maintain the security and sovereignty of the country."

Shams al-Din explained, "The dialogue also focused on the issues of investment and the economy, as American companies began to work in the southern governorates in the field of oil and gas and others, after an interruption of years."

He hinted that "there were different points of view between the federal government and the Kurdistan region during the strategic dialogue, as the latter requested that the American forces remain while the first party was committed to the presence of those forces for a specific period, while the American side had a view that its forces did not remain forever.

The protection of Iraq must be handed over to the elements of the Iraqi army and their readiness during the next stage in confronting the armed groups outside the law that have negatively affected security and which may cause the perpetuation of the US forces' stay in the country."

Today, Wednesday, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi affirmed that there will be work to launch a comprehensive investment campaign with the participation of Iraqi and foreign investors, while calling for coordination between the National Investment Commission and the ministries to accelerate the completion of investment projects.

Al-Kazemi said during his visit to the National Investment Authority, according to a statement from his office received by Al-Sumaria News, "The Investment Authority has a major role in the process of rebuilding the country, and therefore it must be corrected and corrected from previous mistakes, as there is a defect in the country's infrastructure and wrong establishment and this mess must work to be completed according to sustainable plans and strategies." 

He pointed out that "a large number of projects have been transferred to investment during the past years, but most of them are either lagging illusory projects," noting that "thousands of dunams have been acquired for several years without any progress or progress in the projects."

He stressed the need for "coordination between the commission and other ministries concerned with investment to expedite the completion of investment projects," noting that "the National Investment Commission and the authorities in the governorates are required to take the necessary measures immediately to cancel project licenses that recorded a percentage (0 to 35%) and the time period has expired."

Al-Kazemi continued, saying, "We are working very hard to launch a comprehensive investment campaign in which Iraqi and foreign investors participate. Iraq is a great country and has great talents, and we must work hard to take advantage of them and encourage investors to work on strategic projects in the country," noting that "investment provides a better life for Iraqis."

He stressed that "bureaucratic procedures and corruption are among the reasons that impede investment and we are working hard to address them, and just as we started a campaign against corruption, a major investment campaign must be launched," warning at the same time against "leniency with the corrupt or offenders or what harms the national interest of the country."

He pointed out that "the decisions that I made today regarding the delayed and unfinished projects and the withdrawal of licenses will be attacked by the corrupt, but we are continuing with them and it is part of our reform project."

The rate is coming get ready peeps 

 

They have indeed come way to far to not complete this this time. I have a feeling we are sitting right on top of this blowing sky high....I just read about Iraq being lumped in a Basket (SDR's) of various middle Eastern Currencies and something about all the middle Eastern Countries hold a variety of other middle East currencies in their reserves.

 

So should Iraq come out of the Gate High in Value the Basket of those Currencies Goes Up.....All of the middle East Profits  from this.

 

Then Iraq can truly become the Central hub of the Middle East and move the Middle East back to the Glory Days of the Past.......Tourist Destination/Trap, Holliweird Film Hot Spot.

 

They had better begin Relieving that there are a lot of other Middle Eastern Countries that also stand to gain for Iraq getting off the pot and getting this done.
