Don961:  Specialized banks

Monday 31 May 2021  Muhammad Sharif Abu Maysam 

 Specialized banks are usually state-owned, because they are concerned with financing development projects with loans that are often medium or long-term in order to support and sustain the development process

And this role is not assumed by the private sector, which is always looking for quick profit, as commercial banks refrain from financing economic activities that are characterized by slow The capital cycle in it, such as the agricultural, industrial and construction sectors, and on this basis, the specialized banks only appear in the state's economic system, while the donation and aid funds are left with the process of supporting development projects in capitalist systems, which are sometimes financed from the general budget as in the funds concerned with supporting small projects.

And micro-enterprises, to ensure the sustainability of job opportunities, market circulation and support for exchanges and trades.

As well as supporting the agricultural sector to ensure the achievement of food security and to avoid compromising the sovereignty of the state in the event that it is subjected to a political or economic siege, or the international trade routes are exposed to what causes them to change their tracks or stop their work as a result of wars and disasters, God forbid, and among the most important of these banks are {Agricultural Bank, Industrial Bank And the real estate bank}.

Now that we are moving completely towards the capitalist market economy system, according to what was stated in the white paper, the specialized banks that are still operating in the banking arena are candidates for restructuring to be replaced by funds, as is the case of the Housing Fund, which gradually replaces the real estate bank, and the Agricultural Credit Fund The facilitator will support small farmers and farmers, as well as small and medium enterprises support funds and loans provided by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, as well as short-term loans provided by commercial banks under the Central Bank’s initiative to support small and micro enterprises. 

This means that there is a variable that will prolong the specialized banks, and therefore it is necessary to employ the expertise of the employees working in these banks to work in the funds that are auxiliary to them, and to take the huge numbers of agricultural engineers working in the Agricultural Bank

As these engineers who are familiar with the secrets of the capital cycle in the sector can be taken The agricultural credit risk and its secrets are to be a qualitative addition to the Facilitated Agricultural Credit Fund at the Ministry of Agriculture, and it is wrong to neglect these staff, after the high costs that have been spent on training and qualifying them over the years in which experiences have been accumulated and competencies have been polished.    link
