Baghdad - INA - Nassar Al-Hajj
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the percentage of non-oil revenues from the gross product reaches 5 percent, and while determining the percentage of activity of individuals in the private sector related to public finances, he identified two mechanisms for conducting tax reform.

 

Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The Iraqi financial sector today needs to update the maps of non-oil revenues, especially from revenue vessels belonging to taxpayers who have completely neglected collecting from them, without at the same time burdening citizens with limited or low incomes."

He added, "The government support system" rel="">support equation in the general budget today exceeds 13 percent of Iraq's gross domestic product, which is guaranteed by government spending from oil revenues mostly, and it touches the needs of the poor and the rich on an equal footing without discrimination, requiring a very fair and comprehensive non-oil revenue equation."

And he continued, "The proportion of non-oil revenues (which is still very low and is estimated at 4-5 percent of GDP)."

Regarding the funds of individuals and the extent of their contribution to the market activity, Saleh explained, “There is what is known as voluntary vessels, which are called (gray colored) containers, which evade paying their financial obligations regarding the state’s tasks and tax requirements. It is the activity of vague, gray individuals, which constitutes 60-65 percent. Of the total activity of the private sector or the market sector in Iraq today, which are evaded or neglected vessels that are subject to taxes, but are not known before the collection agencies in the public finances.

He stated, "The problems of the rentier economy in our country have generated a culture of ignoring the few or meager revenues collected, while the world's public finances consist of the accumulation of scattered financial grains of sand, which are collected from few but widespread and numerous tax and revenue vessels, and at the same time achieve goals." public budgets in their countries.

And he indicated that "tax reform has also become important and inherent in providing financial discipline in Iraq and in two directions: the first: the adoption of soft flat taxes on income segments of various denominations according to easy collection methods that encourage immediate payment and enhance tax revenue in a transparent manner, and the second: the use of electronic payment and collection methods for accounting taxpayer in an easy way, provided that each taxpayer carries one tax number.

And he stressed, “This requires cooperation with international financial institutions to choose and apply the simplest technical means and the most capable of reaching the taxable bases, which makes tax or other revenue revenues, such as fees and service wages, and others, relative to the gross domestic product, equal at least to the support system" rel="">support rate in the federal budget.” , as a financial goal that should be pursued within the government program," pointing out, "taxes and fees are broad and comprehensive and imposed fairly without burdens on taxpayers, and encourage them voluntarily to contribute nationally to supporting public finances in our country."

Reassuring messages about the budget {deficit}

The first  2023/06/25

 

 

 Baghdad: Raghad Daham

 

Despite the delay in approving the country’s federal budget law until the middle of the current year 2023, it has not lost its economic viability, and its implementation does not include increasing fears of an increase in the fiscal deficit in it, as governmental and other parliamentary sources stated that the deficit rate will be controlled through several chapters, including the surplus. Cash accumulated for previous months as well as government bond issuance and internal borrowing.

 

And the economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, stated in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “after the Presidency of the Republic approves the budget and publishes it in the Official Gazette, it will enter into force, as the budget instructions will be issued jointly between the Ministries of Finance and Planning, and this whole process will not It takes more than one week."

 

He stressed, "There is no fear for the budget from fluctuating oil prices, because in the current reality it managed for half a year, but its approval will require additional expenditures during the second half of this year."

 

Saleh added, "Expenses will increase from now on, and those expenses will be covered from oil and non-oil revenues, and any financial deficit can be remedied through internal and external borrowing."

 

On June 12, the House of Representatives approved the general budget law for three years, after months of discussions and over 5 consecutive days of its sessions, to be the longest period and the largest number of parliamentary sessions due to a number of political differences over them.

 

For his part, the former director of the Office of Financial Supervision, Salah Nuri, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "The implementation of the provisions of the budget law will be in accordance with the actual financial liquidity, especially with regard to investment projects." He pointed out that "all previous budgets were unable to achieve the expected revenues, and because the financial liquidity is much less than expected, the priority is given to the operational budget of salaries and ruling expenses." Nuri concluded by saying: "If all items of the budget are required to be implemented, then the financial ceiling will be covered by borrowing, and investment projects will most likely not be completed because half of the year has passed until the budget is approved."

 

Meanwhile, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Nermin Maarouf, said: "Iraq's revenues depend 83 percent on crude oil exports in the 2023 budget, and if the price of a barrel falls in global markets, it will inevitably affect the implementation of the budget," adding: "The price of oil is expected to remain around $70 per barrel, so there are no risks to the budget for the current year." Maarouf added, in a symposium on the budget held in the city of Sulaymaniyah: “The total oil and non-oil financial revenues in the budget amount to 134 trillion dinars, but the actual budget is 199 trillion dinars, and there is a large deficit in it that reaches 64 trillion dinars.”

Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, on Wednesday, the power of quantitative and price monetary policy tools in managing public liquidity, while identifying the factors for stabilizing the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Some are betting on the impossibility of being able to control the levels of local liquidity generated by government spending, especially in the federal general budget 2023, which is based on methods of financing the budget in Iraqi dinars in exchange for oil revenues in foreign currency mostly, as oil revenues constitute the reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq, which helps to intervene in the money market to sterilize local liquidity levels and control them when they rise through the ability to meet the increasing demand for cash. foreigner".
He added, "The bet is losing on the inability to intervene and control the liquidity levels in dinars, which will increase with the rise in government expenditures due to the conditions of the compliance platform and the fear of them in meeting the demand for foreign exchange, as monetary policy and the strength of foreign reserves, which are the highest in the country's financial history, are the only ones that have different price and quantitative tools in influencing the liquidity levels generated by government spending in the majority."
Saleh continued, "There is a force of coordination and integration between monetary policy and the joints of economic policy and fiscal policy, which affects the drawing of the rules of price stability factors and building an efficient commodity supply in order to achieve the objectives of the Central Bank in stabilizing the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar, based on the objectives of Decree Law No. 56 of 2004."
He noted that "there is a very pessimistic extremist imagination that spreads from time to time and is not at all commensurate with the power of quantitative and price monetary policy tools in particular and the opportunities available to government policies in general in addressing the shocks that are occasionally raised in the subject of public liquidity management."

CBI always complaints about the increase of the dollar price in the Black Market

but the CBI is the only one in charge of monetary Policy. They know the only

solution to end this problem is removing exchange control and let the dinar be 

free, subject to the forces of supply and demand.

 

Go end of exchange control

Go free dinar (float)

Go supply and demand

Go stronger dinar $1+
