Tishwash: A huge batch of money will cover Iraq: the deficit disappears completely and 12 trillion dinars are surplus .. What does it mean for oil to cross the $ 70 barrier?

Iraqi optimism and reassurance continues with greater financial prosperity this year, with the continued rise in oil prices, which today broke the $ 71 strongly, for the first time in more than a year.

As oil prices jumped, today, Monday, to reach the highest level in more than a year, to surpass the price of futures contracts for Brent crude $ 71 per barrel, for the first time since January 8, 2020, while trading data indicated an increase in May futures contracts for North Sea oil mixture brand Brent rose 2.32 percent to $ 71.15 a barrel.

How much height will it add?

According to government statements and SOMO statistics, Iraq issues about 3.5 million barrels per day, while the 2021 budget calculated the price of a barrel at $ 45 and calculated on the basis of the revenues and the deficit, which decreased to only 25 trillion.

With the arrival of oil prices above the $ 71 mark, the price difference between what is specified in the budget and the prices reached today is more than $ 25.

According to calculations made by the "Yes Iraq" platform, this price surplus will add about $ 25 billion this year, and with the difference in the new exchange rate, it will enter the treasury about 37 trillion Iraqi dinars, at a time when the deficit is only 25 trillion, which means that it will flood as well. About 12 trillion Iraqi dinars during the year 2021, if oil prices stabilized above the $ 70 barrier.

Will the prices continue to be high?

Mazhar Muhammad Salih, the economic advisor to the prime minister, points out that the continuation of oil prices at the $ 70 per barrel barrier will dispense with borrowing.

Saleh said, "The global economic crisis is towards easing after the rise and recovery of global oil prices, reaching the $ 70 barrier."

He added, "The deficit has shrunk and it is possible to dispense with borrowing if the price of a barrel of oil continues towards the current price," noting that "the global oil surplus has ended and OPEC is looking to increase production for all exporting countries and urges them to do so."

Saleh explained that "the disappearance of 10% of the global oil surplus dispels fears of a return to low oil prices, which means that the budget reaches the equilibrium stage." link

Tishwash: A statement regarding the return of the dollar exchange rate to what it was

The representative of the National Approach bloc, Hussein Al-Aqabi, demanded, on Saturday, to restore the exchange rate of the dollar to what it was previously, calling on the House of Representatives to assume its responsibility and work to correct the equation and reject government decisions that did not take into account the harm and injustice to the simple citizen.

Al-Aqabi said, in a statement today (March 6, 2021), that "with the rise in crude oil prices and the growth of oil revenues, Minister of Finance Ali Abdul Amir Allawi is still insisting on raising the price of the dollar and restricting Iraqi citizens, especially those with limited income, with completely rejected justifications."

He added, "We have followed with great astonishment the minister's statements regarding the impossibility of changing the dollar’s exchange rate because it is a reasonable price, and that the decision was taken in consultation with the Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the political blocs, and that the markets have accepted it and the government will work to compensate the contractors who are affected by it !!"

He continued, "We do not know whether the Minister of Finance lives in Iraq or in another country, and he is not aware of the extent of the damage that the Iraqi citizen suffered as a result of this ill-considered decision that led to an insane increase in the prices of consumer goods - even locally produced - by more than 30%. , Which added another burden on the shoulders of the Iraqi family, and formed a great pressure on the living situation of the simple citizen and caused a clear confusion in the market . "

He explained, "The Iraqi economy is mortgaged by the dictates of the International Monetary Fund and the effective response of the political blocs to these dictations represents a dangerous turning point that affects the country's future and puts its capabilities and wealth in the hands of foreign decisions that are the last thing the interests of the country and its people think about."

He continued, "From here we demand and renew our previous demand to restore the exchange rate of the dollar to what it was previously, and we confirm that the legislative authority is the final word in all issues related to matters of conducting financial matters through legal legislation inside the parliament, and despite the rise of the dollar exchange rate. It came by a decision from the Central Bank and with governmental and external influence, but it is possible to correct the decision by the legislative authority, even if it is necessary to amend the Central Bank Law .

He explained, "The House of Representatives is required to assume its moral and constitutional responsibility in this direction and work to correct the equation and look at the extent of injustice and damage to the simple citizen, returning the price of the dollar to the old price and rejecting government decisions that did not take into account the damage and injustice to the simple citizen as it dealt with great care with contractors." Affected by this decision. "

He went on to say, "We also reiterate our appeal to the public prosecution to strive to hold government agencies accountable, which caused the waste of nearly a trillion dinars of public money during the period that accompanied the decision to change the dollar exchange rate and the major theft and manipulation of the capabilities of the people by the executive authorities and parasitic banks." It is accused of being linked to the same political blocs that adopted the decision and supported it. link
