Samson: The current and the framework issue new directives to their supporters to mobilize counter-demonstrations
11th August, 2022
Both the Shiite coordination framework and the Sadrist movement opposed to it issued new directives today, Thursday, to their supporters to mobilize for counter-demonstrations in the central and southern regions of Iraq against the background of the aggravation of the political crisis, and its reaching a road in the country.
The "Organizing Committee for Demonstrations to Defend Legitimacy and Preserve State Institutions" of the framework said in a statement today that "the start of the mass demonstrations (the people protect the state) will be at five o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, Friday, August 12, 2022, on the green walls on the side of the suspension bridge."
The statement called on "all Iraqis who love their country and their state" to "actively participate in order to demand respect for state institutions, especially the legislative and judicial ones, and to prevent lawlessness, chaos, and disruption of security and community peace, and to peacefully demand the formation of a national service government that alleviates people's suffering from high prices, water scarcity and electricity cuts, and approves a budget.
The state is to provide job opportunities and eliminate unemployment and poverty, and it takes upon itself the responsibility of completing the project of the great port of Faw and the rest of the lagging projects, and it has a real role in supporting farmers and promoting agriculture, and fighting corruption by activating the role of integrity and financial control, and other matters that concern Iraq and the Iraqis. He added, "Our date is the bridge, and the free people will have a patriotic stand that refuses to confiscate the opinion of the people and monopolize it under any pretext. Iraq is for all, the parliament is for all the people, and the judiciary is the pillar of the state."
The statement called on supporters of the framework to "adhere to the instructions of the committee, not to encroach on public and private property, and to cooperate fully with our brothers in the Iraqi security forces."
In turn, the "Minister of the Leader" who is close to the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr said in a post on social media, "The reform-lovers should prepare (to support reform) by gathering each in his governorate, and at five o'clock tomorrow, Friday, you will be rewarded with the best reward and stay until further notice."
From this page, not fake pages. He attributed the reasons for the demonstrations, including what he called the anger of the corrupt, "as well as filling out legal forms to be submitted to the judiciary in order to dissolve Parliament."
This is the second counter-demonstrations by the followers of the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement since the Sadrists stormed the Iraqi parliament building in protest against the nomination of the framework, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, for the position of Prime Minister.
The political scene in Iraq has been going through a dangerous turn since supporters of the Sadrist movement led by prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the parliament building in the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, and staged a sit-in in protest against Al-Sudani's nomination for the position of head of the next federal government.
The Sadrist bloc had obtained the highest votes in the early legislative elections that took place in October of 2021, but the efforts of the leader of the current failed to form the new federal government due to the Shiite coordination framework standing in its way by obtaining a fatwa from the Federal Court with the so-called blocking third in a contract The session for electing the President of the Republic, which paves the way for naming the Prime Minister.
The three-way alliance between the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Masoud Barzani, the Sovereignty Alliance headed by Khamis al-Khanjar, and the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr was broken following the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies, and the movement's withdrawal from the political process by order of al-Sadr.
The political scene is living in a crisis situation and a dead end unprecedented in the history of Iraq, as more than 300 days have passed since the early elections without being able to form a new government in the country, and the survival of the caretaker government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
On the tenth of last October, Iraq held early legislative elections to get out of a political crisis that swept the country after large demonstrations in the central and southern regions in 2019 in protest against the widespread unemployment in society, the spread of financial and administrative corruption in government departments and institutions, and the deteriorating reality The service and the livelihood, which prompted the former prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resign under popular pressure.
As soon as the preliminary results of the elections were announced, the voices of political forces and actors rose in their rejection of losing many seats, accusing them of major fraud in the ballot, which was denied by the executive and judicial authorities, at a time when the United Nations and international organizations praised the integrity of the electoral process.

Tivon: I am sitting back in awe as to how little attention this has gotten from the members here. You guys are sleeping at the wheel. You claim you want this investment to end so badly. Things are moving to slow. To much corruption. And you just drive past this article without even noticing the three powerful men Mustafa,(CBI) Al-Kazemi,(PM) and Al-Sadr,(Religious Clerk)who are taking charge and presenting this to you basically sharing your sentiment about wanting to get this over with as soon as possible.
These are the people that share your frustration that actually has the power to get reforms done and you still don't see what's in front of you.
You should be jumping up and down that someone wants this over with and is encouraging citizens to mobilize on that notion and be rewarded for their efforts that will result in a win-win for us all. This is why I didn't respond until now to see how many would notice how monumental this one article is above all others posted today. Imo
OlLar: Right/ Exactly what I was thinking, nobody seems impressed by this
DallasDude: Well, the way I see it you can officially announce to the citizens tomorrow that the dissolution of parliament is official and Kazemi will have full power to move ahead with reforms and no longer have to worry about the obstructionist with new elections in the future sometime..regaining control over looted monies is also huge..
MilitiaMan: Interesting that there are things that seem to be playing off one another. Demonstrations are set for tomorrow at or after 5:00 pm. They are hoping that they will be peaceful. They have been told that they will be rewarded with the "best reward" and to stay until further notice.
Also there is an important case to be announced by the Integrity Commission for the first time. They will be disclosing the details. Likely to be a big deal with respect to even more looted funds and likely by who is responsible for the theft(s).
Sadr calls for the dissolution of Parliament next week. Next week may be as early as this coming Sunday or sooner. Time will tell.
We do know that they have passed the Emergency Food Security Law. So, will the current executive authority (present government) with having high flexibility to adjust and respond to economic conditions be used for emergency financial surprises?
Could the demonstrations from both sides be timed for to show the details of those found to be corrupt and guilty of looting money and while at the same venues expose the international rate for the citizens purchasing power?
Seems to me the citizens would want to know who stole their wealth and would also like to know that their demands have been met economically, as well. All under the sharp eye of the security.
It is interesting there is an article out from the US Army. Reminds me of the elimination of ISIS. If we recall the close quarters fighting was highly accurate with no collateral damage. Makes one wonder if there will be assets around and the corrupt would likely know the risks. Thus, demonstrations will likely be peaceful. I pray so..
Give them the corrupt and give them purchase power, the outcome will likely be far better than with out those things. imo.. It is going to be an interesting weekend..
All banks must be hooked up to the CBI electronic platform by 08/15/2022. The platform that will be able to transparently track the countries revenues and expenses among many other financial issues. So the likelihood of those refraining from using the platform may not be around long.
I like what we are seeing and the convergence is amazing.. imo ~ MM
So as long as the country is in an emergency state (which it is for not having been outside the constitution for 10+ months, imo) or even worse a declaration of war, the current government has necessary powers to see to the countries day to day affairs. If they do dissolve parliament, then, the present government in the contextual manner of speaking (caretaker) will be resigned and can still run the day to day affairs.
The powers that be know full well how they are playing this out and down to the wire.
This weekend may see some very interesting things happen. Let pray they are in line with peace, security and stability to allow the them to give the best rewards to the people and spell them out tomorrow.. We shall see.. ~ MM

10:42 | 2022-03-22 He added, as for the second opinion, it is "a request from the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic and the approval of the majority for the number of members, and this method is not possible because the current government is a caretaker government, and thus the first opinion remains the only solution to dissolve Parliament."
And he continued, "As for those who say that the judiciary can dissolve Parliament, their argument is that a case should be submitted to the Federal Court. These cases are based in the appeal that Parliament has been reluctant to implement constitutional entitlements first and second to articles 47 and 59 of the Civil Code related to legal personality and they consider Parliament a personal It is morally permissible for the judiciary to dissolve it in the event of reluctance to perform its duties as stated in Article 59 of the Civil Code. ".

The legal expert confirmed that "the Federal Court will reject any lawsuit demanding the dissolution of the Council because it is not within its jurisdiction according to the Constitution."
* Sticking to the coordinating
framework, and issued the coordinating framework, yesterday, Wednesday, on the need to expedite the resolution of the presidential candidate and the formation of a service government, while calling on the political forces to work together to preserve the democratic gains.
The framework was mentioned in a statement received by Alsumaria news He "held his meeting, and during the meeting a number of political issues were discussed, foremost of which is the course of the ongoing dialogues with the rest of the national forces in order to expedite the completion of the constitutional entitlements, and to speed up the resolution of the presidential candidate and the formation of a service government that addresses the service and security problems that the citizen suffers from."

He called on the coordination, "the Iraqi masses who believe in the law, the constitution and constitutional legitimacy to stand with all legal and constitutional steps to form a government and defend the democratic path in which we all believe."
* Judiciary and dissolution of Parliament
On 04/01-2022, the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, issued a clarification regarding the penalty for violating the constitutional rule and dissolving Parliament.
Zaidan said in the article that was received by Alsumaria News, "The text of the constitution The Republic of Iraq For the year 2005 on dissolution procedures Parliament
According to Article (64/first) of it, there are two ways, the first is a self-dissolving solution Parliament
At the request of one-third of its members and voting with the approval of the absolute majority of its members on this request and this procedure is not expected to take place in practice, as it means that the legislative authority imposed the penalty (dissolving Parliament) on itself. As f
or the second way, it is represented by a request from the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic, to be submitted to Parliament
The text required the approval of this request by an absolute majority of the number of members Parliament And the right of dissolution according to these conditions will be difficult to implement, and thus the executive authority loses the means of influencing the legislative authority in return for owning Parliament
A means of withdrawing confidence from the government, which upsets the political and constitutional balance between the two authorities (we have referred to this problem in detail in the doctoral thesis submitted to the Islamic University of Beirut in the year 2020).
He added, "The Iraqi political reality is witnessing an explicit violation of a constitutional rule stipulated in Article (72/second/b) of the constitution by specifying the period for the President of the Republic to continue exercising his duties until after the end of the elections."
Parliament
The new president and its meeting within a maximum period of thirty days from the date of the first meeting of the Council and the necessity of electing a new President of the Republic during that time, but this did not happen due to the lack of political agreement between the parties and the political forces that make up the Parliament
Although the Federal Supreme Court endeavored to find a way out for this constitutional violation when it permitted the President of the Republic to continue exercising his duties until the election of a new president in accordance with the decision issued on (2/13/2022) No.
The vacancy of the position and the consequent politically not agreed upon procedures, but it was not sufficient to address the continuation of violating the constitution indefinitely due to the two-thirds majority requirement stipulated in Article (70/First) of the constitution regarding the quorum of a session Parliament dedicated to electing the President of the Republic and not providing for the existence of a (constitutional sanction) for this violation.
Therefore, we consider amending the constitutional text contained in Article (64/First) to be a solution Parliament By a decision of the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President of the Republic, provided that it is not during the period of the Prime Minister’s interrogation, and thus a balance is achieved between the legislative and executive authorities, that the penalty for violating the constitutional rule is by a decision of the legislative authority in the event of its violation by the executive authority to withdraw confidence from it, and vice versa.
From the executive authority (the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic jointly) in the event of a violation of the constitutional rule by Parliament By dissolving the council without consent condition Parliament
On the procedures for dissolution and to ensure that the executive authority does not arbitrarily impose a penalty with a solution Parliament Because of the importance of this procedure exclusively, it is a solution decision Parliament Issued by the executive authority is subject to appeal before the Federal Supreme Court.

11th August, 2022
The Federal Integrity Commission announced, on Thursday, that 39 ministers and those of his rank and (241) of those with special grades, general managers and those of their rank, are among the accused in criminal cases.
She explained, during a press conference, that during the first half of this year, she considered (34,209) communications, reports and criminal cases, distributed among (8,877) communications, (10,535) reports, and (14,797) criminal cases.
It noted the recovery and prevention of wasting (1,773,380,063,273) dinars of public funds to the account of the public treasury through its deterrent and preventive measures.
The authority indicated that these amounts represent what has been actually recovered to the account of the public treasury, or those that have been revealed, or the funds that have been issued court rulings to return them, which prevented and stopped their waste.
Integrity also said that its investigations led to the issuance of (731) arrest warrants by the judicial authorities, of which (396) were executed, including (8) ministers and those of his rank, and (53) of those with special degrees, general managers and those of their rank.

She indicated that she had prepared, during the same period (9) drafts of cooperation agreements and memoranda of understanding with Iraqi, Arab and international ministries and governmental institutions, one of which was concluded. LINK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sir: IMO-Excellent news people!
All though they have many more files that will be addressed, we can see clearly they are in warp speed to get the corrupt out of the way. There have been many articles about the corruption in all areas and we can clearly see that this is a major part of the plan in order to publicly see the rate change.
I know some of you might think that this has nothing to do with the rate changing, but I beg to differ on that! Think about just how much corruption is out there, do you really think that Kazemi and his team want these rats to prosper anymore than they have been for decades, ( Absolutely not )!
That’s why the delay in changing the rate, while the other projects are put into place they are also showing the people just who’s who. Now we can see that the people are now in the streets and demanding that the corrupt be removed.
There was an article posted yesterday speaking of a 3 year budget, well what if this has been in place all along sense December 2020 when the White Papers came out. What if the budget was for 2021-2023 and a second set of books was in play! This would keep the rats hands away from a lot of new revenue due to the RI and would also explain why so many projects have been completed and still more in the works.
Kazemi is a smart man and he has a lot of help around the world from highly intelligent people who are getting things put into place to take down a corrupt system that has been ruling us for far too long. When the time is right you will get what you are seeking, but it’s going to be World wide and not just Iraq.
We are in a good place and we are closer than you can imagine, but there’s more to be done. Soon we will wake up to a new world free of corruption and evil doers.
Prayers for those who are making this happen and double prayers for those who gave it all.
Keep your vibrations high, it helps! “All in my opinion of course”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tivon: Someone has been paying attention. Great job. Brilliant. This is why I asked a month or so ago for people to post more often and establish themselves so we can value more of what is put out with more detail than just half hearted complaints that help no one. And you took up that request and flew with it. Thank you Sir. This is well thought out.
These are the post I like to read because it builds on what has been firmly established over the past few months with another viewpoint I concur with that plays into the overall coverage as to why certain things were in place to ensure that the citizens do not get usurped by corrupt political figures who are looking to take advantage of the new monetary system that benefits the country and not the one who pretended to protect the citizens while at the same time stealing from them and their future.
Look at how much has been recovered already. You did a marvelous run down on the reasoning of things that I have been trying to get across for months. And you summarized it beautifully. Wow. Imo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MilitiaMan: Well done Sir.. Agreed.. Sadr brought more than meets the eye(s) to meetings. He wants no one with corruption on their hands to benefit from the re - instatement or re - valuation. Nor does Kahdimi. The digital transformation is going to see to that the money is being tracked and will be into the future with a high level of accuracy. The reason there were many that refused to use electronic means is exactly that, the corrupt would not want to use it. IT would expose them, well not using it exposed them as well.. imo... SMH ... lol ~ MM
**************
BlaqueBeauty: Imo ….very nice In turn, the "Minister of the Leader" who is close to the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr said in a post on social media, "The reform-lovers should prepare (to support reform) by gathering each in his governorate, and at five o'clock tomorrow, Friday, you will be rewarded with the best reward and stay until further notice." From this page, not fake pages. He attributed the reasons for the demonstrations, including what he called the anger of the corrupt, "as well as filling out legal forms to be submitted to the judiciary in order to dissolve Parliament."
Tivon: Look at how this is unfolding. What a time to be alive. People are just not getting how close we are.
Samson: Al-Kazemi complains that the caretaker government will remain for 9 months and calls for solving the budget issue
11th August, 2022
Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi complained, on Wednesday, that the caretaker government that he heads has remained for 9 months without being able to form a new one during this period of time that followed the early legislative elections in the country, warning at the same time that Iraq will remain without a financial budget for the year 2022, which is nearing completion.
This came in a speech to him during the opening of the cabinet session that was held today, according to a statement issued by Al-Kazemi's office.
Al-Kazemi said in the speech, "Iraq is facing a real political problem in the post-election stage, and it needs a solution, and the solution requires dialogue, wisdom, and sacrifice, as Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) sacrificed for justice, values, and religion, as well as what is required of Political leaders make sacrifices for the sake of the homeland, and for the sake of our children."
He added, "The challenges we are facing are reflected in the performance of the government and all Iraqi state institutions. This government spent 28 months, and it is unfortunate that during this period there was only a budget for 6 months, so how can the state function in the absence of a budget?"
Al-Kazemi also said, "We are going through a difficult period, and with all this we have worked to overcome many problems. There were lagging or failed projects that had been planned for many years, and we worked to revive them and turn them into opportunities for success, in rebuilding lagging hospitals and other projects related to electricity oil, gas, and alternative energy, but without a budget, people's lives will be disrupted."
He added, "We are now in the eighth month of 2022, and there is no budget, and the imbalance is not in the government, but because of the existing political situation, so how do we build schools, pave roads and build projects with the absence of political consensus on forming the government or finding a solution to the political blockage."
The Prime Minister warned that “the issue of the budget is a very serious matter,” adding that “we have a good financial abundance and we need to invest it in rebuilding infrastructure and achieving the demands of our honorable people. Good schools, reasonable roads, and effective government institutions. He pointed out that "the political dispute has begun to reflect on the service reality in the state, and therefore we must look for a solution and I call on everyone to engage in dialogue in all seriousness."
Al-Kazemi stressed that "dialogue is the only solution to solve our problems and we have no other, as for resorting to methods of media escalation, social media, spreading chaos and frustration among people, this will not help in building the modern democratic experience. We are a young democracy, and we need to act according to wisdom." and mind."
The head of the federal government addressed the Iraqis by saying, "They should know that every day a solution to the political impasse is delayed, the government is restricted, and it is in a difficult situation in which it is difficult to carry out its duties."
He explained that "the caretaker government according to the constitution, its work is supposed to be coupled with a short period and not to stay for nine months without a new government, and it is unreasonable for the government to remain tied, and the constitutional deadlines have been exceeded, and we are required to remain a caretaker government; this is not possible."
Al-Kazemi pointed out that "the political blocs must cooperate with the government to find a solution to the issue of the budget, and we are ready to help and play our role as an executive authority in accordance with the law." He stressed that "there must be real political support for the government instead of political differences," noting that "there are parties that always turn the conflict towards the government, and the government has nothing to do with it, as we are not a party to the political conflict."
Al-Kazemi said, "We went through an ordeal during the past two or three weeks, and, thank God, the crisis was dealt calmly, and we succeeded in not having Iraqi blood flowing on Iraqi soil, and we will continue with this approach." He also warned that, "Those who think that this government is working to strain the atmosphere are mistaken.
We have said since the first day: We are ready to hand over power to any elected government, and at the moment the political blocs agree, we are ready. What is the talk about the government or the Prime Minister working? For obstructing the formation of the government or the solution is nothing but nonsense; who is the one who accepts to stay in these difficult circumstances?”
Al-Kazemi continued by saying that "the story is not a position story, but a success story, either we are successful and accept the challenge, or the political blocs must accept their role to find a solution to the blockage, in order to move towards a bright Iraq with an opportunity for hope, and we must be optimistic, and not a solution is through dialogue.
The Prime Minister concluded his speech by saying that "we presented an initiative and it was approved by most of the political blocs, and we are still working to create an opportunity for dialogue. We must preserve our democratic system, and we must correct if there are wrong paths or there are paragraphs in the constitution, correction or change." There must be consensus on it from all the Iraqi people."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tivon: I see what Al-Kazemi is doing. If we are going with what he is saying along with Mazhar Muhammad Saleh if they form a general government and budget it will be off the heels of dissolution thus the corruption would have been dealt with in Parliament and HOR. Because everyone knows it will not be the CF(Coordination Framework) .
So we should feel very comfortable. Why? They (Federal Integrity Commission) already identified 300 corrupt officials. And the funds they stole. (Post 20) Not t9 mention they also seized and recovered properties belonging to the Municipality which involved another billion Dinars in value. As I have stated before the EFSL was designed to clean out corruption.
Because I always said the funds left over from the EFSL can be thrown in with any budget they happen to come up with. Ask yourself why would Al-Kazemi push for a budget at the end of the year?
Jamal Cougar stated it takes about a couple of months to get through the process of creating a budget. But we know the citizens were already promised they would see the changes they want very soon before August is done with.
Al-Kazemi will use that time to bring forth reforms as a interim emergency government. And he will solidify his reputation, legacy, and authority. Al-Kazemi knows he only needs the oil surplus to achieve or meet the Citizens Entitlements which is tied to the HCL/Oil & Gas Law.
Everything else can be dealt with accordingly. Keep in mind they have gold, oil, and hard currency reserves to support the rate if they was to release one before they form a GOI or present a budget. Please remember that.
Also Keep in mind the post from yesterday (Post 114) as to what the new budget will come with if they happen to pass one. Because I think they already studied it and came to an agreement as to the components in it.
Especially the emergency surprise funds added as a bonus. So even if they form a government and pass a budget it wouldn't matter because Al-Kazemi only has to announce or present his transitional interim gov and can release the new rate afterwards.
So he isn't saying he needs the budget to finish what he is already doing. It will be needed once he no longer needs to use the EFSL.
Remember they were only going to put 51 trillion in the 2022 budget given how little time was left in 2022.

".
He added, "Iraq faces a real political problem in the post-election stage, and it needs a solution, and the solution requires dialogue, wisdom, and sacrifice, as Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) sacrificed for justice, values, and religion, and political leaders are also required to make sacrifices."
For the sake of the country, and for the sake of our children,” noting that “the challenges we face are reflected in the performance of the government and all the institutions of the Iraqi state, as this government spent 28 months, and it is unfortunate that during this period there was a budget only for 6 months, so how can the state work Without a budget?

noting that "we accepted the responsibility; to spare the people's blood, and we came In difficult circumstances and despite the absence of all the ingredients for success, and praise be to God, the government succeeded in presenting an achievement within a short period, by presenting works that a government did not achieve except in two sessions.
He stressed, "We have the ability to continue serving our people, but there must be real political support for the government instead of political differences," noting that "there are parties that always turn the conflict towards the government, and the government has nothing to do with it, as we are not a party to the political conflict."
And he said, "We went through an ordeal during the past two or three weeks, and the crisis was dealt with calmly, and we succeeded in not having Iraqi blood flowing on Iraqi lands, and we will continue with this approach," noting that "whoever thinks that this government is working to strain the atmosphere is mistaken." .
He said, "We have said since the first day: We are ready to hand over power to any elected government, and at the moment the political blocs agree, we are ready. And what is the talk about the government or the Prime Minister working to obstruct the formation of the government or the solution but nonsense," wondering, "Who is the one who is Will he accept to stay in these difficult circumstances?"

He stressed, "I mentioned yesterday, and a week ago, and I repeat it now: a thousand years of dialogue is better than one moment in which there is a clash between Iraqis," noting that "Iraqi blood is precious, and our people have suffered a lot for 70 years, and therefore we must not devote a culture of destroying ourselves by ourselves, destroying the historical opportunity.
He pointed out that "Iraq may be in an advanced position today, as it has capabilities, wealth and financial abundance that help us build our country, and during the two years we succeeded in restoring our relations with all countries of the world, and Iraq became a point of meeting and integration with others, in order to serve our people and the peoples of the region.
" He pointed out, "We presented an initiative, which was approved by most of the political blocs, and we are still working to create an opportunity for dialogue."

Harambe: Indonesia’s Rupiah Seen Rising to One-Year High as Funds Return | Bloomberg (8/11/22)
Indonesia’s rupiah will advance to the strongest level in almost a year as the country’s trade surplus and attractive yields lure overseas investors to local stocks and bonds, according to TD Securities.
The currency will appreciate to 14,057 per dollar in the next three months, matching the high set in October 2021, said Mitul Kotecha, head of emerging-market strategy at the company in Singapore. Attractive bond yields, rising palm oil exports to China, improving terms of trade and the prospect of interest-rate hikes should all support the currency, he said
“Indonesia is finally seeing a return of flows into both its bond and equity markets, marking a significant reversal from the previous weak trend,” Kotecha wrote in a note to clients Wednesday. The report was published before the release of the US July inflation data.
The rupiah climbed 0.5% Thursday to 14,798 per dollar as Asian currencies were boosted by the slide in the dollar after US inflation figures missed estimates. The rupiah has now extended its recovery from a two-year low of 15,038 set last month to about 1.6%.
Bank Indonesia has so far pushed back against raising rates, predicting that food-price inflation may ease in coming months. While the central bank has played for time, the Federal Reserve has been aggressively tightening, although the deceleration of US inflation last month may slow its pace of rate hikes.
Bank Indonesia is likely to start its rate-hike cycle this month and shift its stance “towards a less accommodative one”, which should also help support the rupiah, Kotecha said.
The central bank will also continue to defend the currency at the 15,000 level, while “relatively higher real policy rates than other countries in Asia also offers the IDR more protection”, he wrote.
Indonesian bonds are attractive as markets refocus on economic fundamentals following the selloff in emerging-market debt and Treasuries, JPMorgan Asset Management said last month.

Parliamentarian: Al-Sadr Killed His Revolution And Retreated From The Demands For A Radical Change Of The Regime In Iraq
2022-08-10 06:51 Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, a member of the Iraqi Parliament, Basem Khashan, criticized the October demonstrators for joining the protests of the Sadrist movement, at a time when he considered that the leader of the movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, retracted the demands for a radical change of the regime in the country, and that he only aims to re-conduct the legislative elections to restore Seats lost by his bloc's resignation from Parliament.
This came in a post on the social networking sites "Facebook" entitled "How to deceive people in five days without a teacher?".
In that publication, Khashan said that "part of the demonstrators decided to participate in his "revolution", even in another arena, because they thought that Sadr had taken his first step to achieve the radical change of the system, the constitution and the elections that he promised them, and they thought it was an opportunity that would not be repeated, and the truth is that These demands were just bait to lure them."
And he saw that "Al-Sadr retracted these demands frankly, and killed his revolution, so the demands for radical change died, and he made it clear that he only wanted to hold early elections that would restore his seats that he had lost with the resignation of his deputies. Declaring their adherence to what al-Sadr abandoned, and they are trying to convince people that radical change will take decades, and people must be patient with what has befallen them and what will happen to them until God grants them a clear victory.
Khashan continued by saying, "We advised our comrades, but they did not take our advice, but rather stuck to something that achieves the people's current and future interests, and we advise them now, that the shortest path to reform is the path of the constitution and the law supported by the popular movement, and this is what Tishreen followed thanks to the demands that I wrote myself."
The independent deputy concluded, "Tishreen is the revolution of the people and the constitution against all those who violated the people's rights and money, and it was not a coup against the constitution of Iraq, which preserves its unity and guarantees the rights of its children."
Al-Sadr recently adopted the slogan of dissolving the House of Representatives and proceeding to hold early elections in the country, after bringing the followers of the current to the street in a clear position in raising the ceiling of demands against the background of the failure in the political process.
The political scene in Iraq has undergone serious developments since supporters of the Sadrist movement led by prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the parliament building in the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, and protested against the nomination of the coordination framework, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, for the position of Prime Minister for the next federal government.
Then, near the suspension bridge leading to the Green Zone, demonstrations against the Sadrist movement took place by the audience of the coordination framework, after an invitation from the "Organizing Committee to Support Legitimacy and Preserve State Institutions."
The Sadrist bloc had obtained the highest votes in the early legislative elections that took place in October of 2021, but the efforts of the leader of the current failed to form the new federal government due to the Shiite coordination framework standing in its way by obtaining a fatwa from the Federal Court with the so-called blocking third in a contract The session for electing the President of the Republic, which paves the way for naming the Prime Minister.
The three-way alliance between the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Masoud Barzani, the Sovereignty Alliance headed by Khamis al-Khanjar, and the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr was broken following the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies, and the movement's withdrawal from the political process by order of al-Sadr.
The political scene is living in a crisis situation and a dead end unprecedented in the history of Iraq, as more than 300 days have passed since the early elections without being able to form a new government in the country, and the survival of the caretaker government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
On the tenth of last October, Iraq held early legislative elections to get out of a political crisis that swept the country after large demonstrations in the central and southern regions in 2019 in protest against the widespread unemployment in society, the spread of financial and administrative corruption in government departments and institutions, and the deteriorating reality The service and the livelihood, which prompted the former prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resign under popular pressure.
As soon as the preliminary results of the elections were announced, the voices of political forces and actors rose in their rejection of losing many seats, accusing them of major fraud in the ballot, which was denied by the executive and judicial authorities, at a time when the United Nations and international organizations praised the integrity of the electoral process.

She pointed out that "the Basmaya project includes the construction of 100,000 housing units, the authority received only 20,000, and in return the company implemented an unparalleled infrastructure in Iraq, and we assure the citizens that work on the project will be completed and will continue."

There is a very strong demand and they are determined to complete the project."
With regard to the project of the road leading to Basmaya and the services needed by the residents of the complex, Al-Najjar explained, "The road was taken over by the Ministry of Housing and entered into last year's budget and will continue, and the Ministry has taken serious steps to clear the conflicts to complete it," noting, "As for the issue of services, it declined due to Hanwha's suspension of work and once it resumed." Services will be redeveloped, and a commercial complex for the international Carrefour company will be opened in Besmaya, and we stressed that it must be completed quickly.”

Contrasting speeches penetrated into the struggle of Al-Matoulah between Al-Sadr and Al-Maliki[/size]
Posted On2022-08-10 By Sotaliraq In the manner of Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Nuri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law coalition, came out with a speech challenging the movement, saying, “There is no solution to the House of Representatives, no regime change, and no early elections except by the reconvening of Parliament, and it is the one who discusses and decides.”
Hours later, the response of the leader of Al-Hanana, “The corrupt does not rule, and like me does not pledge allegiance to corruption,” in a speech and a counter discourse that delves into the Al-Matulah conflict that began on the social media sites, and later moved to the street, in the balances of power that Al-Sadr knows how to manage, and how to elude leaders in the The framework, however, is that the rules of the game expand and grow and change so that no maneuver or pressure card is useful with it.
The political scene is still divided after ten difficult months, between a looming revolution that will change the shape of the political process, and those who are entrenched behind their parliamentary influence and weight in the framework.
A source in the coordinating framework says that deep differences between his two teams may end in a collision if those who want to contain the crisis are not outweighed by the absorption of al-Sadr's demands, in return for those who are heading towards escalation, considering that any concession now will lead to a repetition of the scene of storming al-Khadra to obtain political gains.
With the transformation of the political conflict into an existential struggle, it seems that all the doors to the solution are closed and have no keys, while the rest of the forces are waiting for the outcome of the political process and are waiting for white smoke from the green, and who will raise the flag first.

Economic Dynamism And The Positioning Of Economic State Building In Iraq

Aqil Jaber Ali Al-Mohammadawi / researcher in financial and development affairs
According to the foreseeable global, political, international and economic changes and transformations, and the focus of international coalitions and alliances, each according to its approach, interests, strategies, influence and vision to lead the new world order, logically the world has entered a new era of competition between scientific methodological knowledge that is rapidly transforming, adapting and modeling, and the needs of the requirements of new life and the sustainability of survival after the environmental crisis The Corona pandemic, global discoveries and challenges, and building a new innovative global economy capable of ensuring the sustainability of humanity’s survival in a densely populated planet.
Despite the recent statistics that indicate a decrease in the population of the world’s countries due to the causes of Covid-19 infection, and the increase in poverty and violence rates as a result of political, climatic, economic, health and other transformations.
Benefiting from new scientific and economic knowledge has become a trend in the twenty-first century of great interest, competitiveness and global dominance.
In response to global changes and developments, and environmental, economic and financial crises, countries faced the task of modernizing public government administration accordingly.
The attempt to explain the dynamic approach from the theoretical side and the transition to the practical and applied side is a very complex matter, and the context of the transition requires an in-depth understanding of the role of the economic and financial positioning of the state and its mechanisms.
It is clear that the objective and traditional economic foundations of governance and state mechanisms in the conditions of the market system contributed to slowing down the development of the economy, which requires active participation of the state in building mechanisms and an active economic pattern, improving spending on scientific knowledge and mitigating economic and non-economic risks methodically and practically.
When reviewing the opinions of specialists, experts and professors of economics, it is noted that they praised the market economy as one of the greatest achievements of human civilization. Undoubtedly, he has stood the test of time and managed to convincingly show his immense vitality. History does not know examples of a national economy under a market economy that works efficiently without advanced and flexible active market mechanisms that work according to standard economic models that are consistent and adapt to the mechanisms of the state.
The modern economy, as evidenced by the practices of all countries of the world, including the economies of the Arab countries without exception, presupposes the active participation of the state in it as a guide and supervisor for the issue of market economic relations in the form of an economic system that draws the patterns of the relationship and the dynamics of the relevant economy, as well as regulatory and governing bodies.
In different countries of the world, relations between the government and the main economic actors (entrepreneurs, business families and unions) are built in different ways, according to traditions, real practices, market dynamics and accumulated experiences.
The intervention of state mechanisms and decisions in economic processes is also implemented to a different extent. However, the general line is that the role of states in the economy becomes more and more complex over time and requires more and more qualifications and responses from government agencies. It also requires visualizing the influence of the state on the economy not in quantitative estimates (more - less), but in terms of economic efficiency and qualitative merit of state organization.
When formulating certain questions, the state, on the one hand, does not claim to be a kind of maker of the economic system, and on the other hand, it is not limited to performing the functions of a "night watchman". This instills in the economist a balanced view of the state, free from both excessive enthusiasm and bias with the importance of the theories of Keynes, Friedman and others,
but we find it necessary that it be a realistic economic and financial philosophy that establishes the adoption of economic models and the interpretation of economic phenomena and the proposal of studied microprocessors in a manner consistent with the business environment and the economy objectively and realistically. .
The theoretical and methodological basis should be rooted and the Iraqi economic model should be consolidated in order to form efficiency and economic and financial merit, scientific, analytical, research and innovative sober, and intensify the search for new research and scientific models (including, but not limited to, the modern institutional economy, knowledge economy, digital economy techniques, modern economic system, economic methodology, for example, but not limited to Talking...etc.)
The economic functions of the state in Iraq, according to its traditional undeveloped economic system and the lack of mastery of modern market management methods, as well as the structural imbalances and the lack of accurate diagnosis of the reality of challenges and the series of changes and economic transformations as it seems to me without embellishment of reality or the economic situation seems particularly complex (in essence, complex ).
And most importantly, the continuation of the concerned governmental economic philosophical theorizing and interested in economic and financial decision-making that is practically unproductive for reasons outside the adaptation of applicable economic theory and without logical and realistic responses on the one hand, and for not changing the economic mentality that controls the philosophy and trends of the non-model Iraqi economy on the other hand, as well as political will .
The basis of any type of market economy is the private sector, and its subjects have mutual and growing special interests and goals, as well as relations, ties and mutual interests. As they are often conflicting or intersecting in order not to devote and consolidate the methodology of developing and sustaining the work of the private sector.
Usually, a very important question arises regarding the role of the state’s / or government’s supposed intervention in stopping or confronting deflationary fiscal policy. Undoubtedly, before answering this question, it is necessary to understand the role of the state’s positioning in economic construction and organization, whether in the case of economic deflation, stagflation or complex economic situations.
And another complex, and taking into account the lack of clarity of the optimal economic model for dealing with how to adopt the economic philosophy and the methods and policies required in its light.
Far from jumping from the facts and realistically and respecting the efforts of other actors and influencers in the trends and development of the Iraqi economy (decision-making, decision-making, diagnosis, analysis, evaluation and others), there is a perception that the implementation of the current unorganized and inconsistent economic and financial reform programs and efforts with scientific and specialized knowledge as it seems to me realistic It is not uncommon for it to lead, whether in deflation or stagflation or other things, to a weakening of the severity of economic problems,
but rather an exacerbation of them, especially the absence of a future vision and economic and financial initiatives and responses (and diligence in generating / or making theoretical financial and economic complexities of the government with an inflexible economic philosophy that is not desirable Achieving economic growth or real development in a realistic way) in light of the continued rise in selling prices of Iraqi crude oil in global markets.
Because of the importance of this topic, a special vision will be prepared later in the financial economy that deals with the dynamics of the Iraqi economy in accordance with the adoption of an active economic model in harmony with the business environment and the economic market...

“Disastrous Effects” .. UN Report: The Construction Of An Alcohol Dam Threatens Food Security In Iraq
Reports Economy News – translation A recent report issued by the United Nations Office for Coordination warned of the catastrophic effects of the construction of the Makhoul Dam, which is currently being worked on between the governorates of Kirkuk and Salah al-Din, indicating that the negative effects may threaten the food security of the Iraqi state.
The report, titled "Migration, Environment and Climate Change in Iraq", translated by "Al-Iqtisad News" , stated that " the Makhoul dam is located between Kirkuk and Salah al-Din, and the government resumed work on it in 2021, which is expected to be completed within five years, with the aim of establishing a reservoir with a capacity of three Billions of cubic meters to address the water scarcity crisis in Iraq .
He added, "The project raises serious concerns about its feasibility and impact, as it is expected to disrupt the lives of about 118,412 individuals, because the dam basin includes 39 populated villages, which means that more than 150 square kilometers of inhabited villages will be flooded and 67 square kilometers of Agricultural land will be incorporated, and up to 61,000 head of livestock may be lost, raising food security concerns for the entire country.
The report warned of the flooding of more than 395 civilian facilities (schools, clinics, water and electricity stations, cemeteries, sports stadiums and cultural centers), depriving local communities of basic services such as health, electricity, drinking water, education and sanitation . Over the next five years, if the dam becomes operational at full capacity, burial sites and cemeteries will be flooded."
He pointed out that, "Since the start of work, there have been no attempts to assess the losses of civilian infrastructure, including health facilities, water, electricity, and schools, or the social and cultural losses that might result from this. Inventories related to families and communities did not appear in any plans at the governorate level, Nor was there a formal attempt to speak or engage with the communities."
"Farm workers and landowners see the dam as a serious threat to their livelihoods, which is particularly the case for the relatively large number of female-headed households , currently engaged in small-scale agriculture and with significant concerns about food in the future," the report noted. .
