Adopting development plans as an independent law in the budget

 
 Baghdad: Haider al-Rubaie

Next year, 2022, during which it focused on four main pillars: governance, and the associated pillars and components, and the private sector, being a fundamental pillar for the advancement and development, and a road map for reconstruction and development of the governorates, as well as poverty alleviation.
Al-Sayegh said during his speech to Al-Sabah that "the concept of economic development and advancement depends on the ability of various sectors to change their business pattern and produce various goods and services that they provide to society," stressing that "development requires the production of goods and services that enhance the welfare of society, and works to raise the value of income. Material individual. "
 
National plans
Al-Sayegh pointed out, "Since 2004 until now, Iraq has witnessed many attempts to bring about economic development, through national plans, and international support programs to enable economic activity to move away from unilateralism, but all these attempts have not succeeded in changing the reality of the economy, by relying on The oil sector, and the creation of new sectors to create economic activity that accommodates the disrupted human potential, criticizing at the same time the lack of real implementation of development plans, and the absence of their implementation due to their lack of obligation because they are no longer law.
 
State revenue
Al-Sayegh explained, "The Iraqi economy lacks a real lever for growth, offset by an absence to support change and the transition from a rentier economy to a productive and efficient economy," stressing the need to create a real sector capable of supporting state revenues, other than the oil sector, and can contribute to enhancing levels of growth And it works to assist the state in restarting other sectors, which will lead to creating new job opportunities and meet the needs of society.

In his turn, a member of the Businessmen Union, Mahmoud Mahdi, stressed "the necessity of full and undiminished belief that the private sector is a major partner and actor in development, while providing the legal ground supporting it and changing the business pattern of governmental institutions, and transforming them from a typical ineffective bureaucracy to active and efficient institutions that work." With the mentality of the private sector and compete with it in performance, implementation and quality. "
 
The economic activity

On changing the lifestyle for the better, taking into consideration that it is discussed annually with the private sector, civil society organizations, specialized experts, and university professors to achieve the largest possible participation by specialists.

The 2021 budget: solutions to economic problems or the opposite?

 
 Prof. Mohammed Helou Khorsan
 
 
The political, economic and social developments in Iraq have proven that one of the most urgent economic, administrative and financial problems for treatment lies in the budget, because the underdevelopment of the foundations for planning and preparing the general budget made this tool a routine means, which limited the effective contribution to developing the efficiency of administrative performance. 
The budget: is a document that flows into a financial template based on goals and numbers. As for the goals, they express what the state intends to do in terms of programs and projects during a future period, and as for the numbers, they express what the state intends to spend on these goals and what it expects to collect from its various resources during the time period. It is usually determined by a fiscal year.
The financial conditions of the modern state have imposed the necessity of indicating the extent of the economic, social and political effects that the budget can have. The budget represents the framework through which the state’s options for its goals and the tool to achieve them are reflected.
However, with the state’s intervention in the fields of economic activity and the spread of the idea of planning and the use of various tools to influence economic life, the importance of the public budget as a tool to achieve the goals of society, especially economic, social and political, has emerged. Emerging from a comprehensive view of all the mutual effects between the financial phenomenon and the conditions of the surrounding environment.
And because the budget is a plan or program of work that the government presents to the House of Representatives, in which its economic and social policy is translated into annual numerical goals, and it is not just a work program for the Ministry of Finance that shows efficiency in managing funds only, and the effectiveness of the budget is not determined by itself, but rather is measured by economic and social results and not With only physical results.
In the 2021 budget, we did not discover the desire, coupled with actions, to find realistic and acceptable solutions to the economic problems in Iraq, and how we wished that the delay in approving the budget, discussion and continuous meetings and pushing and pulling to achieve the above goal, and that if this happened, it would constitute a positive situation in favor of the country's economy, but unfortunately focus Controversy, debate and statements about side matters.
The main problem in Iraq's budgets for previous years lies in their adoption of the rentier side (oil) in a very large way, amounting to 93 percent of total revenues, despite much talk that was said and written and resulted in workshops, conferences and seminars, but without actual political desire, so it seeks to activate other resources. Non-oil to finance expenditures.
The second basic problem is in the volume of unjustified large spending that is increasing year after year, despite repeated calls to rationalize spending, but that rationalization collides with obstacles that are difficult to overcome, so that the reduction remains mere words and wishes that are not supported by actual measures and a strong will. A thousand dinars, we find that most of it is allocated to operational expenditures, as the expenses actually allocated to investment are less than 17 percent of the total expenditures, and this is a negative indicator and does not achieve the objectives of the basic budget in finding solutions to economic problems.
The country's leaders should think about quick solutions and move away from prosthetic measures that address (or try to) economic problems, by increasing appointments and contracts, increasing allocations for salaries and the number of people covered by social care networks, and these complicate economic problems, instead of finding effective solutions to them.
The actual solutions lie in increasing the proportion of investment expenditures, through which it is possible to operate the large stalled factories and activate economic initiatives with adequate allocations, instead of just talking, in a way that contributes to the establishment of cooperative farms in which a large number of graduates are involved in agricultural engineering, agricultural technical diploma and agricultural preparations. And a large number of workers making good use of the vast areas of arable land, and the water that God gave to Iraq that was not used in the best way, in addition to supporting and encouraging the private sector producing to be achieved through the foregoing an attempt to achieve self-sufficiency for industrial, agricultural and construction products, in a way that reduces foreign import Depletion of hard currency.

Representative Finance: Unenforceable opinions are not binding on the government

 
 Baghdad: Hoda Al-Azzawi
 

Members of the House of Representatives submitted proposals regarding salaries, market prices and other files that followed the approval of the general budget law, while the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bashir Al-Haddad, announced that the 2021 draft budget will be referred to the relevant department for review and scrutiny. The law is likely to be sent to the President of the Republic this week for approval and publication In the Official Gazette, to come into effect after the Ministry of Finance issued instructions for implementing the budget.

Al-Haddad said, in a statement: "After the budget is approved, the Parliamentary Affairs Department will check the articles of the law and match its texts with the final version before sending them to the Presidency of the Republic."

In turn, the head of the Human Rights Committee, MP Arshad Al-Salhi, called on the government to distribute the salaries of employees for the next three months in dollars.
In this regard, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Adnan Al-Zorfi, confirmed, in an interview with Al-Sabah, that “what the deputies propose is not binding on the government, and these proposals are not necessarily applicable,” indicating that “the matters that are applicable are those presented in the budget law, as for the proposals of the representatives perhaps Create some ideas and opinions, but it is not binding on the government.
He added, "The application of these proposals is due to the government and the monetary policy of the Central Bank in the process of approving the exchange process, and not to meet the desire of the representatives.
The Adviser to the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers for Financial Affairs, Obaid Mahal, told Al-Sabah: “Paying salaries in dollars to employees, as suggested by one of the representatives, is a defective thing, regardless of the economic damage that he will cause if this proposal is implemented, since the flag and currency are from State sovereignty, and we are in a sovereign state, and sovereign states have an exclusive right to dispose of their currencies.With regard to the budget and the texts that have been voted on, Mahal explained, “All the articles that have been voted in violation of the constitution, one of the articles of the constitution confirms that the session of the House of Representatives does not end without the approval of the budget and the discussion of it is not less, but with its approval, and this is what happened in 2014 and 2020 And it should have been approved before the end of the session, and in Article 60, those who prepare draft laws are the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers only, and parliamentary proposals are submitted to the Council of Ministers, not to vote on them directly. The budget and presenting proposals to the government to increase some items, and when necessary, Parliament proposes to the Council of Ministers to increase the funds for expenditures, ”noting that“ until now we do not know what changes have been made to the budget, ”stressing that“ everything in the budget is against the constitution. ” 
The head of the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee, Arshad al-Salihi, had attributed his demand to the government that salaries should be distributed for the next three months in dollars so that the aggrieved citizen could return part of his stolen right, which would lead to an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar directly.
In a statement, Al-Salhi said: His claim comes after the Oil Ministry’s statement on the amount of its exports for the month of March, whose revenues amounted to $ 5.8 billion, the amount of exported oil 91 million and 311 thousand and 929 barrels, at an average price of $ 63.329 per barrel, despite OPEC’s decision to reduce production, indicating that The poor segment has been exposed to outrageous damage as a result of the high price of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar by the Central Bank.
He added that the responsibility entrusted to us is part of our supervisory duties, and based on the principle of preserving the rights of citizens, we demand that the salaries of employees be distributed for the next three months in dollars.

Won’t happen dinars and rate will change
