butterfly   The speech of the Minister of Finance and its future repercussions

2021-12-30  The speech of the Minister of Finance and its future repercussionsQaisar Al Hashemi ||

Through the speech of His Excellency the Minister of Finance, we find the following:

1- Expectations are dangerous and should be taken into account, as well as not inevitable

2- It turns out that there is the possibility of saving 10 billion dollars annually to import gas to operate power stations, while the Ministry of Oil did not address the burning of local gas, which burns absurdly, and its value doubles this number.

3- The treatment of the shortage in salary financing by increasing the exchange rate reflected its effects on the employee and the citizen only, considering that the Ministry of Finance compensated contractors and suppliers for the difference in the exchange rate of the contracts concluded, regardless of the percentage of financial completion of the contract compared to the percentage of the operational advance received,

in addition to the fact that banks and parties have fortified itself, in advance, from harming it by changing the exchange rate, because it was aware of the decision about a month before its issuance, and it doubled its profits by buying the dollar at the currency auction in cash or on credit

4- The number of employees has nothing to do with good governance only, but rather it is related to the nature of the political system, the number of people’s souls, the administrative system in which the state operates, whether it is an electronic system, the governance of procedures, the prevailing political culture and norms, the level of integrity of leaders and decision-makers, as well as the growth of the private business sector in the country and the volume of foreign investments Directly in the country on the ground
