World Bank and Iraq launch social development project
Water scarcity cuts grain production by half
Sep 24, 2018
BAGHDAD - The World Bank and the Iraqi government on Sunday launched a project for the country's Social Fund for Development, with an initial capital of $ 300 million.
"The project will be implemented in three phases, the first of which will include the provinces of Muthanna (south), Salahuddin (north) and Dahuk (north)," the ministry said in a statement.
The project aims to "improve living conditions and opportunities for the poor and the disadvantaged by improving their access to services and jobs."
In the second phase, the project will include three other governorates (unspecified) and Phase III will include all remaining provinces of Iraq. The Ministry has indicated that the project, which will last for five years, will come from a concessional loan from the World Bank.
The project targets education and health, water and small economic infrastructure, market access and strengthening the capacity of MFIs to support the development of SMEs. The government's planning minister, Salman al-Jumaili, said at the end of last year that the poverty rate had risen to 30 percent, up 6.5 percent from the previously announced rate in 2013. On the other hand, the Ministry of Planning announced a decline in the production of strategic grain crops, 45.3 percent, due to water scarcity. According to a report issued by the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Ministry, wheat production reached 2.178 million tons, down 26.8 percent from last year's 2.97 million tons.
The area under wheat was 3.154 million dunums, down 25.2 percent from 2017. Barley production declined by 37.1 percent to 1.91 million tons, an area of 601,000 acres, down 26.7 percent from the previous season.
The report attributed the main reason for the decline in production, and the agricultural areas of grain crops, to «lack of rainfall and water scarcity, and low average yield of acres, because of rainfall in the off-season».
Iraq, along with wheat and barley, produces corn, long-grain rice, short beans, beans and beans, all of which fell by up to 60 percent.
The census did not include the provinces of Nineveh, Anbar, Salah al-Din and the province of Hawija in the province of Kirkuk, because of the security situation, in addition to not include the northern provinces of the country.
Iraq canceled last June the cultivation of rice, maize, maize, sesame, cotton and sunflowers from the summer plan because of the water crisis.
Iraq depends on water security mainly on the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and their tributaries.

Receding Risk Aversion Drives Dollar Lower Against Most Major Currencies
The U.S. Dollar finished lower against a basket of major currencies last week after an easing of tensions over the trade dispute between the United States and China encouraged investors to lift dollar hedges. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) warned on risks to its outlook from U.S.-China trade tensions and weak wages, while reaffirming its next interest rate move would likely be a hike. The New Zealand Dollar was boosted after data showed its economy grew at a faster pace than expected in the second quarter. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) reiterated last Wednesday that it would keep interest rates extremely low “for an extended period,” holding to forward guidance it first introduced in July.

Siesta during long travel does not relieve fatigue
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Many people are tired and tired after long flights, and researchers and experts attribute it to an imbalance in the body's biological clock as a result of shifting between different time zones
The symptoms range from stress to difficulty in concentration, and although there is no treatment to deal with the biological clock, there are some tips to alleviate it, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail
Dr. Joseph O'Geeley, founder of the Clayton Sleep Institute in Missouri, reveals why it can take days to adapt, and why "traveling west is better"
When it's 11 pm EST, and you know you're going to sleep, your body tells you that the timing is exactly 8pm PST, and it's better to head west, where you have time to rest, or if you go east, It will be time in the morning, and you will have to get up and go to work.
Our biological clocks coincide with light changes in the dark and regulate multiple physiological processes including body temperature patterns, brain activity and hormone production. Dr. Ogli believes that siesta does little to deal with this problem and can even counterproductive
There are two internal hours that organize the sleep and wake up cycle. The first is called the stable sleep engine, which balances sleep and wakefulness. The other is our daily rhythm, which is responsible for the optic nerves in a specific area of the brain.
Light is the key that affects the daily rhythm. When the sun rises, the brain sends signals to the pineal gland to suppress the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep
These two hours require little time to restore synchronization, resulting in fatigue and fatigue during travel and moving from one time zone to another.
