 Al-Sudani proposes unified mechanism to support Gaza, al-Sadr Warns Against mass displacement, 19 OCT

Shafaq News/ Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani on Wednesday unveiled a "unified mechanism" to provide support for Gaza.

Simultaneously, Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadrist movement, issued a stern warning against the idea of relocating its population to regions like Sinai, Anbar, or Negev.

In an op-ed titled "Prioritizing an End to the War on Gaza for Iraq," published by the Middle East newspaper in London, al-Sudani renewed the country's unwavering stance on the Palestinian right to establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. 

The Iraqi Prime Minister shed light on Iraq's historical role in the region, highlighting their immediate engagement in serious discussions since the outbreak of the conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories. 

He also called on the Arab and Islamic world to unite in response to the plight of Palestinians, highlighting the pressing need for de-escalation, respecting human rights, and exerting pressure on the Zionist entity to halt its aggression on the occupied territories.

Al-Sudani underlined the urgency of putting an end to the ongoing indiscriminate shelling of Gaza, addressing the growing humanitarian crisis, opening corridors, and providing essential aid to the besieged population.

He mentioned their efforts during the visit to Moscow and meeting with President Vladimir Putin, aiming to mobilize the UN Security Council to halt the continuous attacks on Palestinian territories.

The leaders, according to al-Sudani, agreed on a unified mechanism for Arab and Islamic states to deliver humanitarian, medical, and financial aid to the people of Gaza. He called upon the United States and the international community to seriously consider the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people. 

Iraq, al-Sudani said, intends to use its balanced relations with regional states and the international community to pressure for an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the rest of the Palestinian territories.

Muqtada al-Sadr voiced a stark objection to any notion of relocating the Palestinian people to Sinai, Anbar, or Negev, warning that such an idea represents the expansion of the war and its internationalization.

He stated that neither the deviant United States nor the Zionists hold any authority over Sinai, Anbar, or Negev. He reiterated that the people of Gaza would not surrender or pave the way for the international terrorism to suppress the resistance factions.

Al-Sadr concluded that normalization neither whitewashes the actions of the Zionists against Gaza nor leads to peace. Instead, it represents expansion and expansionism, targeting Islam, as opposed to targeting those who persecuted Jews in Germany.

"IRAQ BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY FIREFLY, 19 OCT

 Frank26 (KTFA)

Parliament is the reason why we don’t have a new exchange rate, why we don’t have the new small category notes released yet.  Parliament is demanding…they know what’s going on with the American dollar which is extremely hypocritical.  It’s not even ironic…it’s sickening because they want to know what the problem is.  Guess what, they are the problem.   

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]

FIREFLY: TV saying expected changes in the revenues of the 3 budgets.

FRANK: Let’s translate that into simple language… – There’s a change in the revenue …the exchange rate…your new national currency to replace the 3 zero notes coming.  These words are not used in articles today. These words of communication are about the monetary reform are for you Iraqi citizens not for anyone else. Listen to them carefully.

Article:
“Iraq raises the interest rate to 7.5%, and the Economic Council is considering increasing the rate”

IRAQ RAISES ITS INTEREST RATE… BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE THE VALUE OF THE IQD.

The rise in oil prices gives Iraq the opportunity to stimulate development away from the excuse of scarcity of financing, 18 OCT

 The rise in oil prices gives Iraq the opportunity to stimulate development away from the excuse of scarcity of financing

The increase in oil prices in the last three months has given Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani a chance to refocus on development issues, particularly those related to industry and agriculture. Due to the shortage of financial resources, the government needs to catch up in these areas.

Specialists in development affairs have advised policymakers in Iraq not to view the current financial abundance as a permanent source of revenue due to the volatility of global energy markets. They recommend investing the funds to the fullest extent through proper planning while also taking measures to protect it from the dangers of corruption that have previously plagued the country. Iraq has lost hundreds of billions of dollars from oil revenues over the last two decades due to crime.

The opportunity presented by surplus oil revenues is a rare chance to embark on a new path of development, which may be the last.

According to estimates, Iraq’s monthly earnings now exceed two billion dollars. The general budget was based on an estimate of the price of a barrel of oil at $70, but it now ranges between $85 and $90. This provides the Iraqi government with a surplus, allowing for budget stability and funding for various development projects in the industrial and agricultural sectors, as well as small projects that are crucial for local development.

Al-Sudani led a meeting of the Supreme Commission for Coordination between the Governorates, where they reviewed the monthly status of ongoing projects, discussed the major problems and obstacles hindering their completion, and proposed solutions to overcome these issues. During the session, the investment map for the governorates of Karbala and Diwaniyah was approved, taking into account the observations made by the Technical Affairs Department in the Coordinating Body between the Governorates. Al-Sudani emphasized the need to prioritize investment in industrial and agricultural projects in all governorates to provide job opportunities and support the government’s development plans and programs.

During the meeting, several issues were discussed related to various aspects of development. These included the educational sector, providing a suitable school environment for students, ensuring potable water in schools, and securing a decent living for the segment of beneficiaries of the social protection network. It was also decided that these beneficiaries would be included in the allocation of residential plots of land in accordance with the controls set by the Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Municipalities. The decision will be made public after its approval.

During the meeting, the government discussed administrative reforms and decided to form a committee led by the General Coordinator for Governorate Affairs, along with the Minister of Finance, representatives from three governorates, and the National Investment Authority. The committee will determine the powers to be transferred to the directors of sub-departments affiliated with the State Real Estate Department in the governorates.

In September of last year, Al-Sudani expressed concern about Iraq’s ability to finance the sustainable development goals due to financial losses incurred during their war against ISIS. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing climate action, as Iraq is considered to be the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

During his participation in the Sustainable Development Goals Summit held in New York, Al-Sudani affirmed Iraq’s commitment to the action plan of the International Conference on Financing for Development, which was held in Addis Ababa in 2015. He also mentioned the international plan that was issued, which calls for the development of integrated national financing frameworks to complement national development strategies. Al-Sudani highlighted the importance of sustainable development and expressed Iraq’s welcome of the summit’s adoption of the political declaration that confirms the urgent need to work seriously towards accelerating the implementation of development goals.

Observers believe that Iraq can no longer use the additional money earned from the rise in oil prices as an excuse for lack of funds, particularly related to climate change consequences.

According to Auk Lootsma, the Special Representative of the United Nations Development Program in Iraq, Iraq is suffering greatly from the impact of climate change. There has been a significant decrease in water levels, which has severely affected the country. The United Nations is currently working with the Iraqi government to help increase the flow of water into the country.

Apart from lower water levels, climate change has brought about a multitude of problems in Iraq, including rising temperatures, loss of biodiversity, sand and dust storms, and electricity shortages. These issues have affected the lives of many Iraqis, as pointed out by Lootsma.

Lootsma emphasized that Iraq has prioritized climate change as part of its national development agenda led by Al-Sudani.

Financial abundance presents an opportunity for Iraq to break development stagnation if protected from corruption that has misused large sums of money.

Iraq had committed to a national development plan prepared by the United Nations Development Program for the period of 2018 to 2022. However, the plan failed to achieve its goals due to insufficient funding. The primary aim of the plan was to achieve sustainable development goals in Iraq. It focused on several key priorities for development, including improving governance, strengthening the private sector, post-conflict reconstruction and development, improving business and investment environments, increasing exports of basic goods, boosting agricultural and industrial production, and enhancing financial and monetary integration with capital markets.

Al-Sudani had promised to gradually shift from a rentier economy by modernizing its functioning. His plan was to focus on the young generation’s potential in building small and medium-sized companies in various fields, including agriculture, industry, information technology, services, and the environment. His vision aimed to create job opportunities and attract both local and international investments.

Many experts believe that the surplus oil revenues present a unique and possibly final opportunity to pave a new path toward agricultural and industrial development. This would help combat the impact of climate change before new price fluctuations or increased government spending eat up the land and resources again.

Progress on Customs Automation in Iraq, 19 OCT

Progress on Customs Automation in Iraq

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a meeting to review customs automation and network integration progress.

Representatives from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) attended the meeting.

Detailed reports on the first phase of implementing the global system for customs automation and modernization, known as ASYCUDA (Automated System for Customs Data), were discussed during the meeting. The reports focused on the challenges faced during the implementation process and the solutions devised. The goal of the implementation is to unify customs procedures and issue electronic permits through comprehensive information technology. The reports also emphasized the importance of data exchange and the ultimate goal of establishing a single window for foreign trade.

The Prime Minister has instructed to complete the financial commitments for the first phase and provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure the success of the project. In addition, he has ordered the initiation of technical workshops to promote awareness of this significant project. The project aims to support the government’s efforts to develop economic infrastructure with transparency and integrity.

Customs automation is a vital component of the government’s economic reform program, as highlighted by Al-Sudani. It serves as a basis for financial and banking reforms and aligns with the government’s goal of promoting fair trade and fighting corruption.
