Iraqi Central Bank Governor Dr on the relationship between modern conditions are now very favourable to rethink the financial system from Iraq during the preparation of the General State budget, noting that the budget read naked and displayed on the analysis does not give us accurate indicators of the general economic situation in the country is leading to a lot of inaccurate analyses on the topic of expenditure and revenue and even tboiha on the basis of operational and investment expenditure is a inexact tab is a lot of observations that give false impressions and analyses
He said the relationship that when talking about oil as a resource base, we have to go by the figures relating to this resource, that there be a clarification of these resources in terms of costs, when we talk about the amount of resources is 80 or 90, or $ 50 billion we must also mention how net revenue resources, noting that Iraq paid around 3.5 billion dollars a month to the cost of production as the oil revenue does not exceed 4 billion dollars a month, meaning that net income was $ 0.5 billion This leads to more losses borne by the Government, talking about resource production must be at a certain point of production.
He called the relationship and be working on a new system need the separation of civilian and military personnel to help us analyse the data as to the structure of wages and salaries for military and security side differs from civil counterpart and combined in the analysis may give us masharat and inaccurate income data this chapter between the two we shown one third of government employees are the owners of military defence and Interior to associate (1) million and there are also 600,000 employees in Kurdistan and these Cover the salary share of territory derived originally from the General State budget and thus may reach (1.4) million is the sum of employees in ministries and this number is that you must focus on to reach a correct analysis.
He stressed the relationship cannot develop the screenplay for salaries based on the proportion of staff excluded but must put a new philosophy of public service through specific objectives based on sound foundations and standards including the economic feasibility of retirement and how could make them attractive to the employee.
He pointed out that if anlkna of the fact that there are significant government body sagging, we should keep this and processors that employ large numbers of employees to work in income-generating sectors such as customs and tax collections and other fees can operate the armies of people to collect resources for the budget and take advantage of these cadres work.
He called the relationship to find some kind of balance between salaries, but not in a way that makes public service attractive as it gets today, even those who work in the private sector secured with rewarding deny they are working to get a government job and this fact must be taken into account as we prepare the new ladder for salaries based on balance and justice and which swells privileges as you compete with the private sector and lead to more demand for public service.

And between alabrihi the proportion of economically active population of around 26-28 per cent while up to 30 or 35 per cent target was to reach 30 per cent in Iraq for strengthening the productive character under that annual pay is $ 690 monthly 8277 dollars and Iraqi dinar be harmonious economic remuneration with 2014 is 828 thousand dinars, but if we take into account the decline in 2015 should be the average wage is less than this, adding that the salaries Staff amounted to 2015 (38.5) trillion dinars, if we are to ensure social justice and economic framework linked to budget the total salary will be 30 trillion dinars with a minimum $ 400,000 dinars if we take into consideration the number of associates surpasses 3 million employees and this number cannot be manipulated.
