Parliamentary economics criticizes the lack of a government vision to support the budget with money
Parliament on Monday criticized the lack of an economic vision of the government towards providing the necessary resources and revenues that supply the budget with money, pointing out that Iraq is shameful to import fuel from abroad at a time when it sells oil at a very low price, unlike the fuel it buys .
Member of the Parliamentary Committee, Nada Shaker, said in a press statement: “The government's moves and its lack of control over economic resources have aroused the discontent of the Iraqi people, especially with regard to border outlets and other productive sectors, and not to take action with the region to force it to hand over its funds to the center.”
She added that "the government pays millions of dollars to buy gasoline, while selling oil at a very low price, and this matter is very defective and indicates the lack of strategic economic planning."
Shaker stressed "the necessity of relying on a deliberate economic policy, and attracting expertise and competencies to amend the course of the economic plans pursued by the government and keeping it away from the policy and internal and external interventions."
Specialists warn of the repercussions of the devaluation of the dinar
link more people saying it makes no sense to devalue
Baghdad/ Hussein Thaghb
Mustafa Al-Hashimi
While reports that the government is considering devaluation of the dinar against foreign currencies, as measures to counter the financial crisis caused by falling oil prices and the repercussions of (Corona), a group of economists confirmed that the devaluation of the dinar against the dollar is not based on objective grounds and cannot be adopted because of the damage to the Iraqi economy, the purchasing power of the citizen, the strength of Iraqi bonds abroad and the country's credit rating.
According to economist Dr. Fadhil Mohammed Jawad, "the Central Bank is directly involved in the matter, as it is the government's financial and monetary advisor and therefore cannot be excluded from the process."
He added that "the Iraqi-Jordanian Business Council (the author of the proposal to devalue the Iraqi dinar) - according to Jawad - will not be affected by the decline as it affects the citizen living inside Iraq, as it bears more consequences than those who live outside it and deal in dollars and foreign currencies and not in Iraqi dinars."
Jawad called on the Central Bank and Iraqi economists inside the country to clarify their opinion on this sensitive issue, which concerns the nation and the citizen."
"The proponents of devaluation of the dinar are not oblivious to its inflationary effects, and the resulting social tensions will deepen the misallocation of income," said Dr. Hammam al-Shamaa, economic adviser to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, adding that "because they could not convince the public not to affect price levels, they are trying to convince the government and entice it to increase its foreign exchange earnings when the exchange rate is lowered."
"They promise the government an additional 60 billion dinars and a total of 18 trillion dinars a year if the proposal is implemented, but they forgot that the cost of establishing a solid and strong network for social protection for five million Iraqis below the poverty line, and compensating 73 percent of retirees who are less than Their monthly income of 500,000 dinars, and the compensation of 1.5 million employees with monthly income of less than 500,000 dinars, will generate huge numbers of people who are supported by this measure, which may amount to as much as the amount deposited due to the reduction."
"The social protection network will be an ongoing case, as in the 32-year-old ration card program, which no one dares to cancel yet," he said.
Al-Shamaa said that "the proponents of the reduction forgot the experience of printing paper and converting it to a currency in the 1990s and how this printing was weakening the purchasing power of the middle class, which turned into a destitute without the adoption of the ration card program at the time," pointing out that "the reduction of the exchange rate of the dinar is a process quite similar to the printing of paper. "In the end, it means that the government is wasting part of the purchasing power of fixed income earners, which is ultimately an innovative way to deduct part of the salaries of employees by 60 billion dinars per day, starting with the fact that price relations will soon create rising inflation for the poor."
"The proponents of the reduction are the beneficiaries of promoting their local products, whether agricultural or industrial, and this is legitimate and we call for administrative and market measures to reduce competition for the local product and not by reducing the exchange rate of the dinar," he said.
"The monetary policy that the Central Bank is drawing up and implementing, both in Iraq and in any country in the world, is independent of the will of the executive, but this does not mean a lack of coordination between the fiscal and monetary policies," he said.
"Exchange policy and its system are one of the most important pillars of monetary policy, so to say that the central bank has nothing to do with the exchange system is a lack of awareness of the economic realities, and to say that money is government money is a fallacy because the government, monetary authority, legislative and judicial authority are the components of the state that is the foundation of the people," he said.
For his part, economist Dr. Ahmed Husseini said that "it is not appropriate now to make a devaluation, especially since thinking about this measure coincides with the global economic recession and the stagnation of the local economy."
"The devaluation of the currency in order to finance the budget deficit will have unwelcome economic consequences, especially the rise in the overall level of prices due to the increase in inflation," he said, noting that "the economy currently does not tolerate such effects, as well as "The devaluation should not be the first line of action to address the financial crisis caused by falling oil prices and the repercussions of corona," he said.

The Iraqi Central Bank announced, on Tuesday, the reduction of loan interest to support the economic and productive sectors.
The bank’s media stated in a statement that Mawazine News received a copy of it, “With the continued economic repercussions caused by the Corona pandemic and the restrictions it imposed on economic activity in most of the productive and service sectors and the decline in oil revenues, the Central Bank of Iraq decided to enhance the liquidity of the“ existing projects ” Which was funded from the initiative (one trillion) in the amount of (5) million dinars for those wishing to do so, with the guarantees of the same project in exchange for administrative commissions and without interest.
The Central Bank directed, according to the statement, the banks and guarantor companies "to reduce interest from (4.8%) to (3.5%) for borrowers within the 1-20 million dinar segment and reduce the bank loan interest from the 21 million to 1 billion dinar segment after it was (6.3%) to become (4%), “He also directed banks to take into account projects related to the tourism, hotels and restaurants sectors whose recovery may be prolonged by studying postponing their installments for a longer period until recovering from the pandemic crisis.”

Parliamentary finance is surprised by the lack of payment of salaries of employees, despite the provision of liquidity

Ayna News - Baghdad
Member of Parliamentary Finance Committee MP Ahmad Al-Saffar confirmed on Monday that the reasons for delaying the salaries of state employees are unknown to the committee despite the availability of funds in Iraqi banks.
Al-Saffar said, "It is assumed that the salary payment instruction should start since the passage of the internal and external borrowing law because the law is in effect from the time of formal voting in Parliament, in addition to that there is an official directive from the government to the Ministry of Finance to expedite the disbursement."
He added, "The financial liquidity is in the banks, but we do not yet know why the Ministry of Finance was late in spending it," expressing his hope to "expedite the payment of salaries at the earliest opportunity possible, especially as millions depend on them for their livelihoods."
The House of Representatives was closer last Wednesday to the internal and external borrowing law to give more room to the government to secure the payment of salaries to state employees.
