First, sources of funds, the budget
The most important sources of financing the general budget in Aeragaha oil and oil derivatives, and by almost 95% of such income and subject to many risks including the following: -
1 - a continuing situation of oil revenues, exports and petroleum products (added by the latest decision of the Security Council, without objection, the Iraqi government) in the calculation under the protection of the U.S. government and the continued subordination of Iraq to Chapter VII, not to make real efforts to remove Iraq from Chapter VII, which makes Iraq at the mercy of international forces Although pledged to the United States in one of the terms of the agreement concluded with them two years ago to remove Iraq from Chapter VII.
2 - the prospect of lower oil prices or volatility in prices, which makes it imperative to make the most of the current rise of oil prices, and building plans ambitious development, but notes the continuation of Iraq's Aziz and the capabilities of the Iraqi people and their future and the future of their generations without the identity of a clear economic as it is without a political identity, and the continued subordination of the economy Iraqi and economic policy in Iraq for the political conflicts that have become a plays its distracting public opinion topics not belong to the current era and cultures do not benefit the country and citizens, and extend to him any service Tzkrpl contribute to discrimination, tension and conflicts, and dredge outdated and stung by the Iraqi people and tasted bitter.
3 - Iraq's future may be subject to blackmail the oil companies, which referred to all contracts for the giant oil wells and return to the stage of pre-nationalization of the subordination of the state budget and the size of Aiardth oil to the agenda of these companies and those who stand behind it.
4 - the lack of any real plans to Xiaodhmsahma productive sectors in financing the state budget, directly or indirectly, and increase its contribution to the Iraqi economy, and now Iraq of the most underdeveloped countries in the productive sector, as the percentage contribution of the main productive sectors such as agriculture 3.5%, industry 1.5% in total GDP and this ratio is less than the most backward Arab countries, which led to Asterd Iraq for 85% of food and 90% of other manufactured goods from abroad.
5 - the continued policy of freezing and not to impose customs duties for goods and service of foreign goods imported??? And constitute the current fees and taxes only 2% of the revenues of the state budget, a factor that raises wonder and puzzlement, and a thousand is a question mark for the hidden intentions of Iraq and the Iraqi economy and Iraqi citizens and Iraqi companies, why should facilitate the Iraqi government the task of competitive foreign goods in the Iraqi market at the expense of local products and commodities ?
6 - continued borrowing from the IMF, which leads to the subject of Iraq and his plans to the development of economic policy of the Fund, with the knowledge that these policies recorded a clear failure when applied in most Arab countries and recognized head of the IMF itself.
7 - multiple sources of funding from the American grant, grant donor countries, other sources of funding and exchange outside the budget, and breach of the principle of the unity of the budget for the presence of balancing regional development, the Supreme Council for Reconstruction, speed up construction projects, revive the marshlands, and the loss of Alsatalrh the receipts?
8 - allocation of $ 1.676 trillion we have t Kt_khasasat (petro), the amount of dollars for each barrel of crude oil producer in the province or refined in refineries, the province, and a dollar for every (150) cubic meters of natural gas producer in the province, and to maintain that the use is not more than 50% of the allocations of petrodollars to buy electric power, and will allocate revenues from visa to Iraq to visit holy sites for the year 2012 to service visitors and infrastructure, and this policy exceeds the unity Almoisnaombdo important principles of the law of the state budget, a deposit of all state revenues in the account closed at the public treasury of the state and not to allow drainage of it, but according to allocations approved for not giving way to waive.
Second: - The implementation of the budget allocations:
1 - characterized by financial allocations and the implementation of government expenditures not to disregard the government and particularly with regard to implementation of the observations of Supreme Audit of non-submission of data for a number of companies and Admtdeghigaha violation of the law, and non-filter observations of Supreme Audit, which leads to the loss and waste of public funds of the State, and the lack of contracts to BSA and was not validated and the safety of companies contracted with the ministries and Aldoaúrodrjh classified contractors.
No feasibility studies for most of the contracted projects, and contracting with the intermediary companies, rather than contracting with manufacturers and private contracts in the ministries of oil, electricity, and the adoption of the direct method call, without justification.
And not requiring contractors to provide most of the guarantees of good performance, not some contracts are included criminal fines to ensure that the contractors performance of the contract. That led to the loss of billions of dollars that are the property of the generations present and future generations.
2 - rise in the cost of the three presidencies to approximately 40% of the allocations for 2012 as well as allocations of security and defense by 14.6% over the assignments of the agricultural sector 2.06%, industry 1.21%, health, and not the obligation to provide electric power Aothdid timeframe for the provision, which means that the sectors productivity without work for years, and we do not know what is the strategic objective of the government not to provide electricity to the citizens and productive companies in Iraq, despite the increase in oil revenues over the past eight years, and the disbursement of large sums estimated annual Pepin 12-14 billion dollars to import electricity from Iran and Turkey instead of its production in Iraq?
3 - characterized previous years, waive the instructions implementing the general budget in terms of disbursement of funds and investment allowances for the purposes of operational and exchange without the credits and excess drainage on the customizations, and the low rate of implementation of customizations which indicates over-ordering and the adoption of allocations for some of the chapters and articles in the budget.
4 - high Adeddalmstviden of a network of social protection to the 508,755 cases of Mstvidma a repetition of the exchange for the same Alchksomenha 6773 case of repetition, and in loans, the Department of Labour and Vocational Training 2975 and 2169 cases of repeated cases of repeated non-Paljhat Bmasho 3558 employees and retired at the same time.
5 - hide data Bmnzbe the ministries of defense, interior and withheld from the regulatory authorities.
6 - poor control of the state's assets and the existence of stagnant Mkhoznah materials and spare the need for departments which indicates lack of precision in estimating the need and the disruption of the capital, has recorded some of the buildings and land to the real estate departments.
7 - Work on the waste of national wealth through the granting of powers to the provinces and so-called petro-dollars and assignments Asterd power of these customizations, instead of rushing to increase production and capacity utilization of available production.
8 - lower allocations of the investment plan to 31% approximately compared to assignments operating budget, reflecting the lack of seriousness of the government in the implementation of investment plans an ambitious increase production and lower rates of unemployment of more than 30% and eliminate the poverty of families living below the poverty line and 23% of the people Iraq.
9 - the lack of transparency in the government view the details of elements of the state budget to the citizens of the owners of the real interest in learning the results of the spending.
Recommendations
1 - clarify the shortcomings of the state policies and the lack of strategic plans with quantitative indicators and commits the government to achieve them.
2 - attention to productive sectors and the implementation of projects, production of electric power and commitment to identify a period of time to do so.
3 - Requiring the government to specify the goals of fiscal policy and accountability for the implementation of these goals, the end of the year.
