butterfly IBBC launches New Paper on Corruption in Iraq 28th April 2021 Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC) seminar to launch Professor Frank Gunter's publication on Corruption in Iraq:
Corruption Worse Than ISIS: Causes and Cures for Iraqi Corruption
In a well-attended online seminar, with leading International and Iraqi businesses, Embassy officials and media, Professor Frank Gunter outlined some of the key points in his paper on Corruption in Iraq.
Hard estimates of at least 22% of people having to pay a bribe annually, and the systemic and petty corruption that has become endemic, his solutions focus on the economic supply side of corruption and the cost in jobs and opportunities that Iraqi is missing as a result of work and investment not being made.
In particular the requirement for Iraq to create at least 350,000 jobs a year just to halt unemployment from rising from its estimated 80% impact on unemployed or underemployed youth. Where jobs and opportunities are in short supply, the entry cost of getting one encourages bribes at all levels of public activity.
State bureaucracy and the awarding of political contracts could account for lost business in the region of at least $80bn since 2003 .
The application of state subsidies for large swathes of the economy that fail to provide sufficient capacity for demand, also encourage bribes for areas such as power, education, health and business facilitations. Ending subsidies and expansion in the private sector would help align demand with supply and reduce the requirement for bribery, whilst affording the poorest higher benefit payments, as would reducing the regulatory burden of starting, closing and running a company, particularly for SMEs.
28 Apr 21, 10:27 AM butterfly Beyond the market supply of business regulation and capacity in the country Dr Renad Mansour, Fellow at Chatham house, made the devastating points that corruption starts with the whole political ecosystem of patronage and payments that ensure elected ministers and politicians have to repay their debts to their investors, while tribal loyalties and the role of a corrupt civil service weaken the power of politicians to change the system.
The key question is, 'Where do you begin to dismantle corruption in the system?' Ms Maya Gebeily , journalist, made the points that The judiciary is subject to payments, and if there is no trust in the law, the system fails. The role of writers, journalists can be significant in influencing attitudes to cultural corruption, and those that people listen to include both protestors and religious leaders, who can take a lead in influencing behaviours and attitudes.
Mr Shwan Aziz, chair, fielded many questions and points were made by the audience, including the request for more evidential data to back up aspertions - to which the panel made the point that its many of the things that don't happen, that should, must be factored into the impact of corruption, that it may be easier for large companies with resources than sme's who find regulations and corruption a stranglehold on growth.
butterfly Why is the Biden administration Optimistic about Iraq?

Why is the Biden administration Optimistic about Iraq?
Earlier this month, the United States and Iraq engaged in a third round of their "strategic dialogue." Topics of discussion included energy, economy, culture, education-and most importantly, security.

butterfly Al-Kazemi’s advisor identifies 3 reasons that impeded the implementation of the ‘Chinese agreement’

In a statement to the official agency affiliated with “People”, (April 28, 2021), Saleh said, “The agreement with China referred to the framework agreement for cooperation signed between the Iraqi Ministry of Finance and the Chinese Export Credit Guarantee Authority (Cynosure) in 2018, and completed it by signing its accounting and oil annexes in 23-9-2019.
He added, “The agreement indicated that Iraq allocates a value equivalent to 100 thousand barrels of oil per day from its exports to the Republic of China, and at the prices of current oil contracts, to deposit the amounts of its revenues into an account for the benefit of the Republic of Iraq, and the incoming is allocated to finance projects contracted to implement with China related to infrastructure and important projects. Generating income. ”
butterfly He stated, “The annual value of one hundred thousand barrels, and according to current prices, is estimated at $ 2.2 billion according to international oil prices,” stressing that “the important thing in the matter is to create an accumulation of important reserves allocated for the purposes of construction projects contracted to implement between the two countries.”
He explained, “China is the first importer of Iraqi oil, which amounts to approximately 850,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and it is mostly the main buyer for more than 40% to 45% of Iraq’s oil, and it competes with India in the purchase quotas for Iraqi oil in the eastern and southern Asian markets,” he said. The Chinese oil companies operating in Iraq are the main contractor in the development and development of oil fields in the middle and south of the country based on the licensing rounds and approved service contracts, and these Chinese companies receive part of their dues in the form of crude oil as well.
The advisor to the prime minister stated that “the framework agreement for cooperation between Iraq and China extends for twenty years, and has been in effect since October 18, 2019, but has faltered in 2020 for 3 reasons, the first: China’s withdrawal from the global economy temporarily and the closure of its foreign activities.”
Because of the Corona pandemic, being the first country in the world to be exposed to this epidemic, and the other reason is: the decline in oil prices and their deterioration in the year 2020, as well as a third reason is the failure to approve the budget that included construction projects at the expense of the Iraqi-Chinese agreement.
butterfly And he added, “Despite this, China is still the first strategic partner in the fields of oil, reconstruction and trade. The current account of the Iraqi balance of payments with China annually exceeds $ 30 billion (import and export).”
On the possibility of raising the ceiling of the agreement from 100 thousand barrels of oil per day to 300 thousand barrels, the advisor to the Prime Minister emphasized that this is possible for two reasons. First: There are plans to develop Iraqi oil production and export development so that Iraq may be the first oil producer in the Middle East region, and the second: that China Its growth is remarkably booming, and its refineries will depend on the northern Arabian Gulf oil, meaning Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. ”
He pointed out, “China’s need for Iraqi oil will continue until the year 2060, and Iraq’s need for development and development will take an escalating path that requires more international cooperation and befitting the renaissance of Iraq and its promising and prosperous strategic future as a building, reconstruction and growth power.” nasnews.com
