Controversial bank loans: 'The devil is in the details'
The loans offered by banks, both governmental and private, to different groups of society vary, some of which are required for building purposes, starting small projects or buying a car, up to bank loans for marriage.
Citizens complain about “demons or demons that lie in the details”, through a phenomenon that has spread through obtaining these loans, which is their having to provide a percentage of the funds to employees or trackers to obtain these funds, and while economists and financial experts criticize the banks’ mechanisms for providing loans, two government banks are shaking off dust. “Administrative corruption” and they defend themselves on the terms of applying and granting loans.
Citizens: financial bargains and propaganda
A number of citizens considered what banks are currently doing by granting some loans to employees and citizens as an exploitation of the borrower's situation.
Citizen Huda Muhammad said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "The process of obtaining the loan is very difficult, even if the application is through electronic links, but the routine procedures that she is going through make the citizen and the employee requesting the loan succumb to any financial demands by some to speed it up," noting that she "has done By granting an amount of 5 million dinars to one of the trackers of the transactions, who in turn agreed with the employees of one of the banks from which I wanted the loan to obtain the required amount for construction.
Muhammad added that "the lack of accountability, and the lack of serious oversight in these banks, make some employees demand money without fear or apprehension," stressing that "our refusal to grant the agreed amount means that the loan sees the light."
For his part, citizen Raad Al-Khafaji said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency that "what banks, especially the government, announce to provide loans and advances to citizens is a glamorous advertisement for fraud and fraud" because of the high interest they impose on these loans, noting that "the payment of a 15 million loan with interest." Over a period of six years, it will reach more than 22 million dinars.
Al-Khafaji points out that "the citizens' compelling to request the loan is due to their urgent need for it, and some of those who apply for some loans for buying houses or construction, which amount to 100 million dinars, are often blackmailed by some employees with cash amounts that may reach 10 million dinars in order to facilitate their treatment To give what is required of him."
Iraq is the worst among the countries
The economic expert, Dergham Muhammad Ali, said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "The loans granted by different banks vary according to the bank, but the worst thing about them is the aspects of the facilities and payment mechanisms for these loans granted by government banks, as the interest is high and the first installment with its interest is deducted from the original value loan".
Muhammad Ali adds that "the guarantees and mechanisms are difficult, and the mechanism for collecting the interest is unfair, as the interest rate remains in full on the principal amount until the end of the payment without deducting the amounts paid."
And the economic expert confirms that “loans provided by private banks vary and are less than those provided by government banks, as they do not own less than 15% of the original bank deposits,” noting that “the mechanism for granting credit is the worst among the countries of the world. It is they who promote their banking products, and it is not the customer who is begging banks to borrow.”
Muhammad Ali refers to “the spread of a recently rejected phenomenon, which is placing obstacles in front of loan applicants, whether the citizen or the employee, to force him to pay a certain amount to obtain the loan or advance,” noting that “the phenomenon has spread in most government banks without any accountability or auditing despite From this it became common and known to all.”
weak control
The financial expert, Munir al-Hilali, said in an interview with Shafak News Agency, "The weakness of supervision by government banks over their employees, or even by other control departments represented by the Ministry of Finance or the Integrity Commission, is behind the occurrence of such cases of corruption," noting that "the citizen resorts to the observer to run Treating him quickly and spending some money to avoid the administrative routine he faces in these departments."
Al-Hilali explains that "the citizen suffers in obtaining the loan, especially the large loans, as a result of the mechanisms and instructions that were placed on these loans, and sometimes the obstacles placed on the loan to push him to pay part of this loan to the employees."
Al-Rafidain: We reject the commentators
For its part, Al-Rafidain Bank expressed "refusal to have any tracker or grant any amounts to people who work in the bank in order to obtain the loan."
A manager in one of the Rafidain Bank branches, who asked not to be named, says, “Giving money to people working in the bank or trackers to facilitate borrowing, this in itself is an incorrect act because the transaction is not free of fraud, and thus the loan is lost,” stressing that “the bank holds everyone who does this accountable, There are oversight bodies in the public administration that follow up and there are penalties that reach the point of dismissing the employee and referring him to the judiciary.
The official explained to Shafaq News Agency that "the banks tightening their instructions to grant loans and advances, due to one reason, which is that these amounts represent the bank's capital. It is assumed that when granting these loans to anyone, he must put guarantees to preserve the sustainability of the loan and recover it in full with its benefits, otherwise what is the purpose of Giving a loan that cannot be retrieved, stressing that “the Rafidain Bank has begun to ease restrictions by using smart cards (Master Card), especially the citizens whose salaries are settled in the bank.”
Al-Rasheed "surprised and warned"
For its part, Al-Rasheed Bank defends the existence of such cases, explaining that the submission of these loans in the bank's branches electronically.
An official in the media office of Al-Rasheed Bank told Shafak News Agency, "There are some fake websites that we have previously noted, and they exploit simple citizens with the possibility of obtaining the loan in exchange for cash," noting that "the bank has nothing to do with these swindlers."
The official, who asked not to be named, explains the mechanism for obtaining the loan by saying that "the mechanism is through the citizen's submission to obtain the loan through an electronic link, and after a duly scrutiny, he is informed by sending a message to him by phone, and the amount is deposited in the master card. own Card, and therefore the process of obtaining cash in order to obtain the loan is unfounded."
A number of government banks, especially the Rafidain and Al-Rasheed banks, compete to grant a variety of loans according to mechanisms and instructions that may sometimes be strict, while some citizens suffer from difficulty in obtaining these loans compared to countries of the world, which are often directed towards the optimal investment for them.

The global market opens on a jump in oil prices
Oil prices jumped with the opening of the market today, Monday, due to the continuation of the war in Ukraine, while major oil producers reported that they are struggling to produce their quotas allocated under a supply agreement.
Brent crude futures rose $3.24, or 3 percent, to $111.17 a barrel at 04:31 GMT, adding 1.2 percent last Friday.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose $3.23, or 3.9%, to $107.93.
With little sign of easing the conflict, the focus is back on whether the market will be able to replace the Russian barrels damaged by sanctions.
The latest report from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia showed that some producers were still falling short of agreed supply quotas.
OPEC's Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which have the ability to raise production immediately, have so far resisted calls from major consuming nations to raise production faster to help lower oil prices.
A poor supply outlook and higher prices prompted the International Energy Agency on Friday to identify ways to cut oil use by 2.7 million barrels per day within four months — including car pooling, lower speed limits and cheaper public transportation.
This will help offset 3 million barrels per day of Russian crude and products that the International Energy Agency has estimated will be off the market by April.
