Why and what do we want from the development plan? , 5 DEC

 Why and what do we want from the development plan? 

Perhaps some adherents of different economic sects and schools are talking about leaving the idea of central planning, in light of changing development trends, theories, and philosophies, and 
 
the content of this talk is that central planning is no longer suitable for this era, in light of the decline in the role of governments, and the expansion of the arena of the private sector, which has become It dominates the development scene. 
 
This happens in countries with liberal systems, 
 
but in countries that still embrace socialist systems, they adhere to central planning, and the government in them is in charge of everything, planning and implementation.
 
In order not to stray too far from the idea of the topic that I want to delve into, I will talk here about the five-year plans in Iraq, which are considered medium-term plans. 
 
The past fifteen years have witnessed the launch of three development plans, the first of which was (2010 - 2014), but it soon ended. 
 
It was halted or discontinued due to the exceptional circumstances in the country, and was replaced by the second plan (2013-2017), then came the third plan (2018-2022), and here comes the big question: 
 
What was achieved from those plans, and what was not achieved? 
 
In answering this question, there is certainly something that has been achieved, 
 
but perhaps this achievement does not seem clear, in light of the great deterioration that the development sectors in all its names are suffering from, and 
 
as the popular proverb says (the problem is great and the plot is small). 
 
As for why these plans did not achieve their goals, 
 
This is another story that will be discussed at length, 
 
the most prominent title of which is that the challenges and risks that faced the plans were not taken into account. 
 
They are different and extremely severe. 
 
Sometimes they are security, sometimes political, sometimes health, fourth financial, fifth, sixth...etc.
 
 
In general, time has passed, the plans have expired, and we are facing a new phase, with everything security, political, economic, health, and even social, and all of this strongly calls for going towards developing a new five-year plan, which must also be different from its predecessors, and 
 
this difference comes. Through its real response to all challenges, at the internal and external levels, and the higher its response to risks, this enables those concerned to achieve the goals set out in the plan, and according to sectoral priorities, and 
 
the response is also linked to the high ability to anticipate changes that can occur at any moment. 
 
This is called development uncertainty, and 
 
this uncertainty is linked to the instability of oil prices, which may witness a decline at any moment, 
 
and is also linked to global conditions, such as wars, conflicts, epidemics, etc., and the Russia-Ukraine war and the Covid-19 pandemic are far from us. 
 
Also, the plan cannot ignore the frightening climate changes, which now threaten many countries of the world with many risks and repercussions, and Iraq is one of the countries in the world affected by such changes.
 
 
According to all of the above, the goals set by the five-year development plan, which the Ministry of Planning announced the start of preparing for the next five years, must be accurate, measurable, acceptable, realistic, and with a specific time frame, according to specific priorities, with the necessity of participating and involving all activities at the state level. 
 
In the preparation process, in order for it to be expressive for everyone, in addition to this participation, it represents an explicit commitment by these activities to implement the plan, and the legislative and executive authorities, as well as the private sector, civil society and the media, are all concerned with this partnership, to ensure reaching the goals that are being adopted. 
 
It is the time for everyone to advance the development sectors and change people’s lives, according to realistic, flexible, and implementable development plans.

MarkZ  

 [via PDK]  Question:  How do we hold on to faith when everyday is a groundhog day

  MarkZ:  The problem is we are trying to pick the timing of this historic event. We are looking at all the pieces and trying to guess the timing...You are watching it happen…all the greatest economic voices tell us it is coming…it is not a groundhog day even though we are not across the finish line yet.

  Iraq is being very clear the dinar will be higher than the dollar and no more dollars after Jan 1stThey are telling us everything we need to know. We just need to stay calm.

 ...today at 4:15 pm the Fed will have a meeting on “FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES”  

 This does not pop up on their calendar very often but today they are discussing foreign currency exchange rates at the Federal Reserve at 4:15 pm. Could this be what we are looking for?  It’s possible.

Economist: Switching to electronic cards will allow the Central Bank to track the movement of the dinar, 5 DEC

 Economist: Switching to electronic cards will allow the Central Bank to track the movement of the dinar

On Tuesday, economic expert Safwan Qusay stated that the transition towards using electronic cards for financial transactions would enable the Central Bank to monitor the movement of the dinar. He also highlighted that using cards will aid in launching new projects, generating employment opportunities, and preventing people from hoarding currency at home.

Qusay stated that the Central Bank would be able to monitor the dinar’s movement by utilizing the Ministry of Oil’s procedures to activate electronic cards at fuel filling stations. This will also help to reduce instances of corruption that may arise when supplying kerosene to generator owners.

“He stated that as the federal ministries increase their use of electronic cards in financial transactions, they will be able to shift away from paper dinars and move towards electronic transactions that directly enter the banking system.”

“He stated that by working with the electronic system for trading in the dinar, the currency can be moved instead of being stored in homes and companies. This will allow it to be placed in the banking system and re-injected in the form of projects and job opportunities.”

Parliament Forms Committee to Resolve Iraqi Issues in Iran Amidst Middle East Chaos, 5 DEC

 Parliament Forms Committee to Resolve Iraqi Issues in Iran Amidst Middle East Chaos, 5 DEC

Parliament’s First Deputy Speaker, Mohsen Al-Mandlawi, has announced an agreement to form a committee with comprehensive powers to visit Iran and address issues concerning the Iraqi community residing there. This proactive step could potentially alleviate the difficulties faced by Iraqis in Iran, marking a significant development in bilateral relations.

Axis of Resistance and the Chaos of War

As the conflict between Palestinian Hamas and Israel escalates, Iran has become increasingly vocal about the possibility of additional firepower entering the battlefield in a bid to secure a victory for what Tehran refers to as the axis of resistance against Israel. This axis, part of Iran’s attempts to propagate its Shia Islam ideology, thrives amidst the chaos of the Middle East. The assassination of Qasem Soleimani by the U.S. introduced an element of chaos within the network itself, but the axis continues its operations through groups like Hamas and Hizballah.

Prisoners of War and Humanitarian Actions

In the midst of the conflict, Hamas released two female Israeli nationals known as peace activists, arrested during an attack on southern Israel. Their release, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, was driven by humanitarian concerns regarding their deteriorating health conditions. The women were airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, and reported to be in good health upon arrival.

Global Reactions and Interventions

Images of Israeli armored vehicles and tanks near Gaza’s main southern city have been captured via satellite, triggering international concern. The US and the United Nations have called on Israel to take more measures to safeguard Palestinian civilians. The British government confirmed that the Ministry of Defence would conduct surveillance flights over the eastern Mediterranean to aid in locating hostages. The bombardment around Gaza’s second-largest city, Khan Younis, has intensified, with dozens of wounded people being transported to the local Nasser Hospital.

The Cyber Sovereignty Debate

The push for a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace could impact state-backed hacking teams operationally. China’s concept of cyber sovereignty provides political security to other illiberal governments. The PRC supports other authoritarian governments, improving its chances of maintaining access to strategic land for military bases or critical manufacturing inputs. The recent White Paper from the government of the People’s Republic of China continues diplomatic efforts to galvanize the international community around China’s concept of cyber sovereignty.
