Expectations Of Higher Per Capita GDP

Monday 26th April 2021   102 Baghdad: Haider Al-Rubaie  The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Salih, expected an increase in the per capita share of GDP for the current year 2021, to reach approximately 6 million dinars annually, indicating that this increase is linked to the continued gradual improvement in oil markets and openness in the global economy.

Saleh's expectations came after the Ministry of Planning announced a decline in the per capita gross domestic product during the past year 2020, compared to what it was in 2019, indicating that the average per capita GDP for the year 2019 amounted to (7) million and (100) thousand dinars. However, in the year 2020 it decreased to (4) million And (900) thousand dinars.

A statement by the Ministry of Planning, received by Al-Sabah, stated that “the gross domestic product for the year 2020 amounted to (198) trillion and (700) billion dinars, which is less than what it reached in the year 2019, when it reached (277) trillion and (800) billion dinars." .

Loss of oil revenues

During his speech to Al-Sabah, Saleh attributed the causes and problems of the decline in the gross domestic product in Iraq, about its capacity by the international financial community (minus 11 percent) in 2020 to two main factors. Oil production and production retreated as a result of adhering to the decision (OPEC +) at the time, indicating that "Iraq lost as a result of that commitment the production of more than one million barrels of oil per day."

The financial advisor to the prime minister noted that «oil constitutes a direct contribution to the gross domestic product of approximately 50 percent, in addition to being a return to the budget by 93 percent, indicating that the indirect effects of the oil sector extend to the overall economy by about 80 percent of market activity. , Through the role of government spending in moving the overall demand and employment of production factors ».

Isolation of sectors of the economy

Saleh puts the factors of non-oil production stumbling due to the Corona epidemic, the shutdown of the economy, and the isolation of the national economy sectors and their workers for several months of the year, at the forefront of the second reason that led to the decline in the gross domestic product, indicating that “these things contributed directly to raising the poverty rate To reach about 32 percent of the Iraqi population, and unemployment rates reached more than 24 percent, which exacerbated the decline in the annual per capita share of the national income or gross domestic product last year.

11 million affected

And the government advisor stated, "The past year 2020 witnessed an increase in the number of families affected by earning and daily work, as a result of the interruption of their work, reaching about 11 million citizens."

Therefore, the decrease in the gross domestic product from 277 trillion dinars in 2019 to about 198 trillion in the year 2020 It should be reflected in the average per capita income from the gross domestic product, after adding nearly a million new people to the population from births in 2020. ”

Double public spending

He indicated, “According to these data, the fiscal policy within the scope of the state’s general budget for the current year 2021 has gone towards seeking to double public spending, with the aim of improving economic activity and generating job opportunities within the economy, pointing out that this trend has brought about improvement in some macroeconomic indicators. Especially after the Ministry of Planning recently disclosed that there is a 50 percent decrease in unemployment and poverty rates compared to the same indicators last year 2020 ».

Saleh believes, “With the government's endeavor to strengthen social welfare programs and absorb poor families, which are below the poverty line, and the state’s economic policy insistence on improving the ration card program and making it target the most vulnerable social forces, I expect that the per capita share of GDP for the current year 2021 will rise to 2021.

Between 5.5 and 6 million dinars per year, especially if the oil markets continue to gradually improve, open up the global economy more broadly, and the degree of receiving the vaccine against the Corona epidemic increases.   LINK
