Iraq's Debts Are Reaching Critical Stages, And Parliamentary Warnings Against The Continuation Of The Borrowing Policy
Pratha News Agency112 2021-05-10 Some conversations about the existence of a need to borrow to cover the deficit in the federal budget in order to cover the comprehensive obligations in it have raised reactions that are politically and locally rejected, while a parliamentarian asserted that foreign loans would restrict the country's sovereign decision, a matter that we will never allow.
The methodology adopted by the current government and the successive governments in general is a methodology that does not serve the interest of the Iraqi state and will reach a dead end.
MP Jamal Fakher, indicated that the House of Representatives will not completely approve any request that the government may send in the future for external borrowing.
Fakher said in an interview with Alsumaria News, "The House of Representatives and during the 2019 budget completely banned external loans, and only domestic loans were kept at that time." ".
Fakher added, "Foreign loans will restrict the country's sovereign decision, not to mention that it will be a door to the bankruptcy of the state treasury as a result of the accumulation of those debts and their interest to a stage at which the country may not be able to repay them." This increases the risk of these loans and their future consequences for the country's sovereignty. "
He pointed out that "global oil prices began to rise gradually and approached the barrier of seventy dollars per barrel, in addition to the return of recovery and movement of the industrial, agricultural and commercial sectors after the recession that they were exposed to due to the Corona pandemic and the economic crisis, which gives an additional impetus to the state treasury and makes it independent of borrowing." ,
Stressing that "Iraq does not need any additional external debts today, and in the event that the government sends any law or request for external borrowing, the request will be totally rejected, and the government must go today to options to pay part of the external debt to reduce it rather than increase it on the shoulders of future generations."
Member of the National Approach Parliamentary Bloc, MP Hussein Al-Aqabi, confirmed that there are a number of problems that, if addressed, the need for external or internal borrowing will be eliminated.
Al-Aqabi said in an interview with Alsumaria News, "The methodology that the current government and the successive governments are adopting in general is a methodology that is not in the interest of the Iraqi state and will reach a dead end," indicating that "the volume of revenues is absolutely not proportional to the size of the actual need of the state, given that The sums spent on salaries only amount to 70 trillion dinars, not to mention that the loans and their benefits externally and internally in addition to the profits of all licensing rounds companies reach 30 trillion dinars, which means that the state treasury spends annually 100 trillion dinars without positive results or economic development.
Al-Uqabi added, "The general policy of the state is unfair and does not serve the interest of the citizen, and the parties holding the authority are not realistically keen to perform the duties and responsibilities it has in relation to addressing the causes of borrowing."
He pointed out that "the real treatment that we must proceed with, even if there are strict and cruel measures in it, is through combating corruption in all its forms, whether by exaggerating contracts or government extravagance and others, in addition to maximizing the state's non-oil revenues, given that licensing rounds harm the country.
There is a need to review contracts in the telecommunications sector and address the issue of tax and tax evasion at the level of companies and merchants, not just individuals, which amount to hundreds of billions of years ago, which have not been paid.
He continued, "Addressing these problems will be the gateway to address the issue of external or internal borrowing, through the state's investment of all its revenues and creating a good financial space for it to be indispensable for borrowing," stressing that "the absence of plans for comprehensive development and failure to develop the economy and preserve the state's capabilities and not stop waste." All wealth has issues that hindered the issue of solving the borrowing problem. "
Deputy for the Al-Fateh Alliance, Uday Shaalan Abu El-Jon, confirmed that foreign loans are an essential tool to control the political and sovereign decision in any country, and it is a method through which developed countries work to control other countries.
Abu Al-Jun said in an interview with Alsumaria News, "Iraq no longer needs any external loans. On the contrary, the government must take advantage of imposing the current price of a barrel for what has been determined within the budget to pay off some of the debts due and which have serious benefits for the country and future generations." Noting that "foreign loans is something that has become a thing of the past, and we will not allow it to be repeated, whatever the circumstances."
Abu Al-Joun added, "The government can take advantage of the global economic improvement and the revival of trade and agriculture in order to revitalize the investment sector and the private sector, and provide job opportunities that make us reach advanced stages that can be used to achieve self-sufficiency and go to support the state treasury with additional resources through which the country can pay its debts." And the absence of the need for loans, whether internal or external. " http://burathanews.com/arabic/reports/392120

Committee member MP Sadiq Al-Sulaiti said in press statements, "The water imports from some tributaries to the Darbandikhan Dam have reached zero, and the lower Zab imports have decreased by 70 percent, which will negatively affect the country's need for drinking water and irrigating agricultural lands, with the high salt tongue in the Basra province".
