Ten bitter facts about work and economic atonement in Iraq? .. Emad Abdul Latif Salem
1- All Iraqis... are "economists", even if they do not "belong" to economics, and even if they do not read one correct and "useful" sentence in economics.
2- All Iraqi politicians... are "economists", and they can "judge" in the economy and its laws and provisions, whether that is by chance, or by necessity.
3- The economy in Iraq is not an applied “science”, and it is not even a “subject” that appeals to some science. They (with all their conceptual frameworks, mechanisms, policies, systems and systems, experiences and applications), are merely "views". When the “science” of economics (such as any “science” that investigates the political and societal behavior of peoples) becomes an “unconnected” set of viewpoints, everyone will become an “economist,” and economics will become the “profession” of the unprofessional (K. Exactly "teach" politics).
4- The politician uses the “economic concerns” of society to serve interests and orientations that are not necessarily economic. For the Iraqi politician, “reforming” the Iraqi economy is a means, not an end. The Iraqi economist does the same, unfortunately. The Iraqi economist is trying to keep up and “moderate” the Iraqi politician (and not the other way around), so he loses the two “walks.”
5- Being a white “crow” in the economy, this does not mean that “economic crows” are not (generally) black when they “crow” with politicians.
6- Iraqi politicians may disagree with each other to the point of killing.. but they agree, and stand united as a “solid structure” in the face of the economists who refuse to be “subordinate” to them. As for the Iraqi economists, they differ among themselves just because of the difference, even if they have no direct or indirect interests in this difference. From here comes their inability (and their lack of resourcefulness) to provide solutions and gain confidence, and from here comes their "humiliation against people". That is why when an Iraqi politician asks one of three Iraqi economists to have one opinion on a particular issue, they will give him six opinions (to vex each other), which makes him belittle them, and lie on his blessed neck, laughing so hard.
7- The economic concerns of the Iraqi citizen revolve around the “how” to live in the short term, not the “quality” of living in the “long term.” And when the “long term” comes, and the “hour of reckoning” comes for past economic mistakes, sins, and follies, then this “long term” has become a short term in turn. In accordance with this (individual - societal) understanding of the work of the economy and its role in people’s lives, the “political” dances over the wound, while the “economic” (professional, real, and authentic) cries out of the severity of the pain and the severity of the stab.
8- The economy in Iraq (with all its tools, policies, procedures and laws), is just a “recipe” to relieve the pain associated with a terminal illness, which is “spent” in the government’s “pharmacy.” And when the patient dies, the Iraqi citizen attacks the emergency doctor who is standing near the bed, and not the “specialized” doctor who inserted the first wrong injection into a vein.
9- The neighborhood singer sings about politics, so all the “victims” shout out to her “taqooqa”: God, Set..God. As for the neighborhood singer herself, she is stoned, even if she sang an authentic maqam in economics.
10- Economists do not change the condition of a people, until their politicians change what themselves.. All of them without exception (from the mountain to the sea, and from the plain to the desert). Otherwise, these politicians will continue to cook pebbles for the people in the “pots” of the economy, while some “valiant” economic experts go along with them for the sake of fleeting prestige and “false” status, and for the “rent of office,” which is nothing more than a “disgrace.” Personal and “family”, a pure “economic” shame, and a pure “personal” shame.. forever.. forever.

Governmental banks have been isolated from the world for 40 years: The vision of the “global” Minister of Finance is not suitable for Iraq.. and the country needs a “new economic doctrine”
Perhaps the failure of the banking sector in Iraq can be described as a “non-independent event,” not stemming from the mismanagement of this sector alone, but rather directly related to the failure, confusion and chaos of the Iraqi economy in general, which is described, according to specialists, as “it does not belong to any economic school in the world.”
The failure of the banking sector is not hidden from everyone, even from the Minister of Finance, who acknowledged the need for government banks for a comprehensive restructuring. He described government banks as “isolated from the world for 40 years,” a recognition that coincides with the opinions of experts in the Iraqi banking sector, whose role is limited to granting loans. And collecting revenue from interest, and these loans are often “harmful” as a result of their contribution to raising inflation.
Allawi said in a press conference that “the banking and financial sector is the most important pillar in the economy, not just the state’s resources, and diversifying the economy is an urgent necessity,” noting that “the banking sector has grown in terms of deposits and loans, but the ratios between the public and private banking sector are still the same 75% of the Deposits are in government banks.
He considered that "reform of government banks is a vital issue and an essential part of transforming the economy from rentier to diversified," noting that "companies outside the oil sector cost the state billions of dollars."
He added, "We worked with experts to reform the internal system of Rafidain and Al-Rasheed banks," noting that "government banks have been isolated from the world for 40 years."
Specialists and experts believe that government banks' acquisition of deposits is not the responsibility of government banks, and they did not impose it. Hybrid neither capital nor socialist.
A former inspector general in the Ministries of Transport and Industry, Caesar Al-Nouri, said in a clarification that “Yes Iraq” followed, that “the acquisition mentioned by the Minister of Finance is not a result of government measures or arbitrariness from them, whether through legislative and legal packages, but rather based on the confidence and desire of the customer to deal with government banks.” After it was proven to the citizen and the moral customer that 90%,, of the private sector banks are not solid due to their dependence on partisan parties or political figures that practice manipulation and evasion, including banks that have declared bankruptcy and were placed under the custody of the Central Bank. The private sector led to calamities and the loss of their savings and the collapse of their economic conditions, whether because of international sanctions that affected private (private) banks, or because of their bankruptcy or manipulation of their balances and farewells. Iraq.”
Al-Nouri considered that “before the events of Ukraine, the Minister of Finance made a statement about the future of energy and oil, and he was speaking on behalf of an oil-importing country, not a producer. Global demand and a political system represent an environment for the acquisition, nibbling and looting of the state’s resources by law and the political custom of quotas. We cannot work and think in fragmentation to develop a specific plan and policy.

The coordination intends to nominate Jaafar al-Sadr to head the government. Will Jaafar agree and betray his cousin, or will he refuse, and extinguish the fire of sedition? Again? hahaha
Informed sources close to the atmosphere of political negotiations say that the coordinating framework forces are trying to find a satisfactory way out for them and their audience, and also does not cause any provocation to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, so these forces began to test multiple maneuvers, perhaps putting al-Sadr in Critical, especially with framework sources announcing the acceptance of most of the combined forces in this bloc by putting forward the name of Iraq's ambassador to Britain, Jaafar Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, as a compromise between them and the current.
And the observer of political affairs, Ahmed Ali, indicated in an interview with (Iraq Today), that “this nomination, if the news that was received about it is true, will indeed be an “extraordinary” blow that will put Mr. Al-Sayyid and his opponents may not be extinguished, God forbid, and it may end and nullify the effects of what Al-Sadr intends to do, especially after his recent threat that Iraq will not be handed over to those he called the corrupt.
He pointed out that "this nomination will mean that the government will be a framework with my chest (QA) as Sadr expresses himself, and this is what curbs any ideas or attempts to overthrow this government or demonstrate against it in the street, as is rumored in the political corridors, that any framework government will confront al-Sadr with protests and sit-ins. Will he do that with his cousin, who is his first candidate for prime minister?
He stressed that "the framework's going to smart tactics, will mean the success of its mission in securing the position of the next government, but if the frameworks go to use the same previous mechanisms to produce a government that is unable to take any steps in the street, they announce the failure of their project early."
While the sources that spoke to (Iraq Today), indicated that “the internal discussions between the coordinating framework forces are still the biggest obstacle to the immaturity of the vision of dealing with the Sadrist problem, and therefore the opinions of the political forces are divided regarding this nomination, which Jaafar al-Sadr may reject under pressure from Ibn His uncle Muqtada al-Sadr, which means going to an alternative option that has not yet crystallized
Al-Sadr continues his anger at everyone, and hints at his Kurdish and Sunni ally: they betrayed the covenant and backed others!!
Salih Muhammad al-Iraqi, known as the "minister" of the Sadrist movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr, revealed 10 new reasons that prompted the latter to withdraw from the political process.
Al-Iraqi said in a post on Facebook that “the reasons that prompted Al-Sadr to withdraw from the political process and what are the results against the opponents, I will mention to you some of them:
First: that most of the Shiite political blocs belonged to (Lal Al-Sadr), if not all of them.
We offered them a candidate for prime minister, the son of their reference and their martyr, and they rejected him.
Second: The politicians or their blocs whom al-Sadr was the leader thought well of... they betrayed him and entrusted to someone else.
Third: Some may be under the illusion that the decision to withdraw is to hand Iraq over to the corrupt and consensual.
Fourth: Our return to the elections after the withdrawal was for two important things: The first: normalization, and this has been criminalized, praise be to God.. The second: The criminalization of obscenity: (homosexuals) So let's see what they do?! Will they enact a new and detailed law, especially with the escalation of Western colonial pressures against its opponents!?
Fifth: The embarrassment of opponents who protested against the elections because they are rigged. Will they continue to form a government out of rigged elections?! What is its legitimacy!???!.. Will they agree with the normalizers and the Emiratis!?.. Will the missiles hit Anbar and Erbil?!.
Sixth: To expose those claiming to belong to the October Revolution?! .. Who was the decision to withdraw the leader al-Sadr from the political process as a withdrawal from the revolution, demonstrations, storming Anbar, and the like.. Some of them even turned the goal of the demonstrations into supporting the consensus government.
Seventh: If His Eminence persisted in his insistence on forming a majority government.. That would last for several months or more.. So what would the reaction of the blocs, the people and others would be!!?.. Perhaps this reminds us of the 8 months that His Eminence delayed the arrival of (the leader of necessity) To the prime minister's office.. so they blamed his Eminence and accused him of personal hostility and harming the people.
Eighth: Many thought that the demand for a majority government is a political struggle for power... We were never a student of power, but among you listened to lies... We belong to God and to Him we shall return.
Ninth: The withdrawal brought Shiite substitutes.. Will it be the beginning of the strength of the sect?!. Or is it the beginning of looting money and suspicious deals? Or will the Al-Dora refinery be stolen as the Baiji refinery was stolen before!??..
Tenth: The return of the current of the two martyrs Al-Sadr to the days of God Almighty and the correct approach, leaving the world and fighting over it.”

Sadr in his latest statement
He added, "Iran may not have any reservations about renewing Al-Kazemi's second term, but perhaps even support this matter, due to Al-Kazemi's closeness to the views between Tehran and Riyadh and between Tehran and the rest of the world and the disbursement of financial dues and other files," adding that "this matter does not mean The framework has something, and it is not possible to accept the renewal of the mandate, even if there is Iranian or other pressure on this file, even though it ”.does not exist until now
