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

butterfly   5- There is another point of view that should be taken into account and worked on from now on through future dependence on oil and its derivatives in the production of electric power, and what the industry, agriculture and irrigation sectors need from mechanization and equipment, considering that oil, according to the expectations of the Minister of Finance, will be worthless and therefore all its extraction will also be low. Because it is directly proportional to the value and prices of oil globally

6- We must immediately start training and qualifying local cadres to specialize in the extraction and production of oil and its derivatives to provide production costs in preparation for total dependence on oil production in the service sectors to provide the funds allocated to sustain them and import the resources for their operation.

7- Not accepting any future project that does not depend on oil energy as a raw material for operation, because it will be cheaper, safer and more economical locally.

8- Starting preparations for the establishment of the largest industrial complexes for the production of wheels, mechanisms and equipment that operate on oil energy and its derivatives in partnership or by purchasing their production lines from the leading industrial countries in these industries because we are not bound by a pattern of industries whose operation and operation depends on imported energy

9- Activating the Silk Road through Iraq and liberating it from political and partisan domination, randomness and dwarfing

butterfly   10- The number of retirees is also related to the number of people’s souls and has nothing to do with the number of employees, because the people and foreign refugees if they do not receive pension salaries, they will receive monthly health, social and recreational insurance amounts.

11- The issue of levying electricity wages and others is related to the type, level and stability of the service provided and the transformation of levy into electronic or investment levying away from the current mechanism in which the employee and investor of the collection are considered a partner of the abstaining citizen in not achieving it or embezzling it.

(We have to interact dynamically with expectations and manage risks and interact with them in the privacy of our situation and capabilities, and not in a unilateral way that depends on Western or external stereotypical thinking, whose vision is based on its reality and capabilities, which inevitably and in reality differ from what we have. His financial budget, so why should we look for alternative energy sources when we have free energy sources, and why do we grant a partnership in revenues and oil industries, which are our property, such as future petrochemical projects, phosphates, sulfur and silica, which will have a future and a financial return greater than oil, except for partnerships with international technical authorities specialized in establishing such projects

butterfly   This does not mean not keeping pace with industrial and environmental developments and working on building nuclear power reactors and building infrastructure for the use of alternative energy such as road networks, bridges, energy transmission, the electronic administrative system, an attractive investment system, and a legislative environment to protect investments that is protective and encouraging, and most importantly of all, keeping parties away from the economic decision because they work in a way Extortion and unsystematic benefit, even at the expense of the failure of the experiment and emptying it of its content, and they have to turn into honest national investors, not fatwas, to collect retreats and commissions and protect deviations.

It seems that the European and global work environment and its doctrine, in which the Minister of Finance lived and grew up, made him think and proceed through the visions, ideas and adoptions of those countries only. In addition, most countries of the world do not have the European capabilities and the major industrialized countries of nuclear reactors or infrastructure ready to shift towards alternative energy, such as African countries, Latin America and others.

Therefore, the situation will not be so bad, but we must take the warnings of the Minister of Finance seriously. Seriously and with great interest and adopting the White Paper as a stable basis that will be supported and developed even if governments change towards a stable and growing economy   burathanews.com

butterfly   Dismantling the coordination framework and isolating Al-Maliki behind Al-Sadr’s hosting of Al-Fateh leaders

12-30-2021   Dismantling the coordination framework and isolating Al-Maliki behind Al-Sadrs hosting of Al-Fateh leadersBAGHDAD – The Sadrist movement’s leader Muqtada al-Sadr’s hosting on Wednesday in Najaf of a delegation from the Al-Fateh Alliance, the political arm of the militias loyal to Iran, along with the head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Faleh al-Fayyad, raised many questions, especially since the invitation did not include the rest of the representatives of the coordination framework, especially the head of the State of Law coalition Nuri Al-Maliki.

The delegation of the Al-Fateh Alliance, which was received by Al-Sadr at his residence, included the President of the Alliance, Hadi Al-Amiri, and Qais Al-Khazali, the Secretary-General of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, one of the most hard-line factions loyal to Iran, along with Fayyad, while there were no representatives of the rest of the coordinating framework forces.

Al-Sadr’s hosting of pro-Iranian leaders in “Al-Hanana” was not without messages, perhaps the most important of which is that he wants to confirm that he is the “maestro” of the political process in Iraq, and that he will not accept competing with any party in the electoral achievement he has achieved, except according to what he determines or allows.

The end of the meeting without issuing a joint statement on the part of the two sides, and Sadr’s confinement to a tweet he posted on his Twitter account, in which he reiterated the formation of a “national majority government, neither eastern nor western”, reinforced the state of ambiguity behind the meaning of this meeting, which comes only two days after the court’s approval The Federal Supreme Court on the results of the legislative elections that were held on the tenth of last October, and led to the Sadrist movement topping the merits.

butterfly   Observers believe that the Shiite leader’s hosting of a delegation from the Al-Fateh coalition seems to be the main purpose of which is to raise more doubts within the coordination framework that was formed after the elections and to include the forces rejecting the results of the entitlement, led by the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the pro-Iranian Conquest Alliance.

Observers believe that Al-Sadr presented during the meeting a proposal for the participation of the Al-Fateh Alliance in a government in which the Sadrist movement would form its program and control its management, a proposal that would achieve for Al-Sadr a number of goals, perhaps the most important of which is isolating his rival Nuri al-Maliki and dismantling the coordinating framework that could turn into An opposition force that causes him a lot of problems during his administration for the next stage in Iraq, as well as avoiding the risk of clashing with the militias loyal to Tehran, which, despite its announcement of its acceptance of the election results and the dispersal of the sit-in in front of the gates of the Green Zone, is unlikely to be calm.

The invitation of the leader of the Sadrist movement did not include the rest of the representatives of the coordination framework, especially the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki

Observers say that the hypothesis of Al-Fateh’s acceptance of joining a government led by the Sadrist movement is not clear, as both options have positive and negative results, and perhaps one of the positive aspects of participation is to avoid clashing with the Sadrist movement, which in addition to possessing the political power that the election results enabled it to have a popular significance It is large within the Shiite community, and it also has armed militias.

butterfly   Participation is also not without negative results, as it will transform the Al-Fateh alliance, which was ranked second in the last elections, to playing a secondary role in the political process, deprived of the power of decision in front of the Sadrist movement.

Hadi al-Amiri, head of the Al-Fateh Alliance, described the meeting with the leader of the Sadrist movement as positive. Al-Amiri said in a press statement that “the meeting was positive, responsible and based on the strong state’s interest and success in the next stage.”

“The discussion of guarantees of success in building the state will be completed, and in the coming days we will have a return once again to Najaf” to meet with al-Sadr, he added.

A leader in the Al-Fateh Alliance had previously suggested that Al-Sadr had invited Al-Amiri, Al-Khazali and Al-Fayyad to Najaf to “plant a time bomb within the coordinating framework”, in preparation for the dismissal of the head of the State of Law coalition.

The Rudaw media network quoted the leader, who preferred to remain anonymous, as saying that each of the three leaders would not have met at the same time in al-Sadr’s house without an “official invitation” from the latter, considering that if the decision had been issued by the coordination framework, “the representative of al-Maliki would have been within The meeting” that took place in Al-Hanana.

The source said that al-Sadr was the one who “requested to invite these three away from al-Maliki, Haider al-Abadi and Ammar al-Hakim,” because the leader of the Sadrist movement believed that al-Amiri, Khazali and al-Fayyad are “the most powerful in the coordinating framework.”   rawabetcenter.com

butterfly   The framework is struggling to convince al-Sadr: We will join all the Shiite forces and not rule out resorting to the street

2021-12-30 08:15   The framework is struggling to convince al-Sadr - We will join all the Shiite forces and not rule out resorting to the streetShafaq News/ An informed source said on Thursday that the coordination framework meeting, which was held yesterday, Wednesday, at the home of the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, which included most of the leaders and representatives of the Shiite framework forces, discussed all ways that would restore the unity of the Shiite house, including resorting to mobilizing the street. .

The source told Shafak News Agency; The emergency meeting, which was held at the home of the former Prime Minister and leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, came to discuss political outcomes that would guarantee a coalition of all Shiite forces under the umbrella of a unified political entity, after everyone realized that the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, is proceeding with the project of the majority government unless it accepts Strengths the framework on its terms.

butterfly   He added that “the meeting was held under the chairmanship of Nuri al-Maliki and in the presence of the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi al-Amiri, the head of the Victory Alliance Haider al-Abadi, the head of the National State Forces Alliance, Ammar al-Hakim, the head of the National Sindh Alliance, Ahmed al-Asadi, and the head of the Islamic Supreme Council, Hammam Hammoudi, and Member of the Political Bureau of the Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq movement, Adnan Faihan, and Issa Al-Fraiji, and they all discussed solutions that ensure the formation of the largest bloc to strike foreign schemes that seek to disperse the Shiite house, as well as preventing the division of the country as states (regions) through a political tactic that the framework will adopt in its next movement, which is based on To include everyone without excluding anyone, in reference to (Al-Sadr’s insistence on excluding al-Maliki), especially since the partners (Kurds and Sunnis) are looking for a partner or party that guarantees their interests.

He continued, “The meetings of the framework forces will remain open, and it will attract all the forces wishing to join it to form the largest Shiite bloc, even if the members do not follow a particular force or entity, because what we are interested in is strengthening the Shiite decision within the parliament. If the framework succeeds in that, al-Sadr will definitely go towards the opposition.” Even if the framework leaders emphasized the need to unify the ranks and enter into an unconditional alliance with al-Sadr.

He pointed out that “the meeting, whose leaders were keen to conceal its interlocutor and its outcomes, touched on how to use the street as a pressure card to unify the Shiite discourse in form and content, and that the decision will be issued to the popular bases affiliated with the framework forces before the first session of Parliament, i.e. moving the street with regular, peaceful demonstrations to prevent bloodshed, and the matter remains.

He pointed out that “what increases the complexities of forming the largest Shiite bloc by the framework is that some of the framework’s forces may disintegrate and join al-Sadr, and that is why the framework intensifies efforts to form the largest component within parliament, even if it is towards the opposition.”

He added, “All the current Shiite political movement revolves within the orbit of the largest Shiite bloc and is at the forefront of the scene, and it may not lead to a united Shiite bloc except with the intervention of the supreme reference, which is what all Shiite forces rely on regarding the intransigence of the party controlling the compass of political decision.”

The leaders of some of the framework forces led by Hadi al-Amiri met with the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr at his residence in Al-Hanana, in the province of Najaf. It lasted many years.

butterfly   The Sadrist bloc seeks to form a majority government in alliance with the Sunni and Kurdish forces that won the elections, contrary to what was customary in previous sessions that witnessed the birth of consensual governments with the participation of all political forces.

However, other Shiite forces within the coordination framework are working to find a foothold in the next government to preserve their gains despite losing many seats in the parliamentary elections that took place last October.   shafaq.com

smoothop   Greetings   If I may inquire, is there any clear understanding of whether currencies, other than zim, will qualify for humanitarian projects? I appreciate your input

Zig   smoothop :    to the chat...Be patient as it may take some time for someone to reply who knows about that....

butterfly   Any currency can apply to a humanitarian project.

butterfly   It will be your currency, when the dinar goes international.

butterfly   It will be "your" money and you can do whatever you want with it. BUT make sure you do a deep research on ANY project.
