The federal budget for 2012
What holds us?
(2)
The total public expenditure for the draft federal budget for 2012, more than 117 trillion dinars, compared to 102.3 trillion dinars for the total revenue, distributed 37.2 trillion dinars Nvat investment, and 79.9 trillion dinars for operating expenses, equivalent to 31.8% and 68.2% respectively of the total the budget. And record budget deficit of the proposed scheme of 14.8 trillion dinars, equivalent to 12.6% of the total budget. The 2012 budget estimates are based price of $ 85 for a barrel of oil and a daily rate of export of 2.6 million barrels.
We examine the deficit figures and ways of funding, and allocations of the doors of other budget, we can not but emphasize the demand that went by the Finance Committee of the Council to the Minister of Finance because the reveal to the members of the House of Representatives, and the general of our people, for actual figures for the value of the oil exporting since 2007, and amount of actual spending rates in the light of implementation of previous budgets, and fiscal surpluses achieved as a result of selling oil at prices higher than those approved in the budget and the low rates of implementation of projects. And Bmtalaptna this, but Nacher serious loophole in the process of parliamentary oversight, the process of preparing and implementing the budget, where the Ministry of Finance to allocate surplus funds, not included in the budget approved by the Board, without reference to the legislative power. So it's not surprising to discover the members of Congress now in the Finance Committee of the Council, surprised, that there is a financial surpluses accumulated during the past years worth tens of trillions of dinars. Reflects the lack of transparency in this regard flaw detracts from democracy, and careless is not justified by the Council in dealing with him, despite the alarm for years, and especially by the Communists in Parliament the previous session of the Council of Representatives.
And reflect the amounts allocated to the operational and investment Moisntin relatively stable in the way the distribution of public expenditure, despite all invitations and assurances of experts and specialists and officials from the state and the powerful political blocs by the need to rationalize operational spending in favor of increasing the share of investment allocations.
On the revenue side, we find a decline in non-oil revenues, and more reliance on oil revenues, which increased its share of total revenues from 88.8% to 92.2%, compared to 7.8% of the total other sources of budget revenues, such as taxes different, fees and revenue and customs fees for services. If these ratios is not surprising as it represents the revenue budget, a reflection of the structure of unilateralism of the Iraqi economy highly dependent on oil, but at the same time give a negative indicator shows the failure of the policies adopted so far to achieve any improvement and development at the level of diversification of sources of financing the general budget and increase the effectiveness of tax policy and efficient performance of government bodies and mechanisms to reap the tax and collect fees for obtaining the wage provision of services by companies and public institutions, as is too frequent disruption and delay to activate the law of customs tariff on the budget to take advantage of an important additional source of revenue.
Perhaps the most important trends that can be drawn from the analysis of the distribution of budget allocations to different sectors continued neglect and poor attention to productive sectors, which has not been a sector of agriculture and industry jointly by more than 3.27%, were also ruled out for support to public companies listed in the general budget of all and the continued orientation towards banks government for loans to finance the salaries of its staff after the submission of feasibility studies, which means in practice exacerbate the difficulties of running these companies and the payment of their positions to further deterioration in preparation for liquidation. This does not only devote rentier nature of the national economy, including diametrically opposed to the goal of the development plan for the years 2010-2014, which represents one of the references of the budget, to diversify the productive base. Add to that this approach does not help, if not intersect with the empowerment of our economy, create jobs and combat poverty and the development of our economic, physical and human resources.
Another trend in the budget, the dimensions and social impacts of the budget features emerged through the priorities and budget allocations oriented amendments introduced by the Government in response to the pressure of the IMF. Is observed decline in the proportion it represents compensation of employees and pensions to 34.2% of the total budget and 50.17% of the total operating expenses, from 39% and 56.6% respectively in the budget in 2011, and the development of 58,908 degrees and career for new graduates in some Alachtstsat, approximately third grades included in the 2011 budget, in addition to withholding support for public companies in this budget, and the postponement of the increase in pensions and support for the social protection network and fund credit students and install the allocations of the ration card at 4 trillion, which means reducing the real value due to inflation. This is reflected in the low importance attached by the authors of the budget on the decline of the percentage allocations of the Ministry of Health about what it was in the 2011 budget by 0.8%.
Acquired the security and defense allocations to 14.6% of the total budget. And requires attention, attention and Althdhir him in this regard, is the growing manifestations of the militarization of society, which is the side operational of these customizations, where the inflated numbers of staff in the Ministries of Defense and Interior to represent more than 45% of the number of employees in the state, with the exception of the Kurdistan region. Has attracted military and security services a large number of layers of young in the city and the countryside, to the detriment of some institutions and productive activities, especially in the agricultural countryside.
The latest trend to increase allocations for regional development, thanks to the allocations of the petro-dollar to a large extent, but requires the proper use of these customizations enable the provinces to manage these funds to grant the powers required and the rehabilitation of cadres, as well as solving the problem of determining the administrative boundaries and provide accurate statistics on the number of inhabitants in the absence of accurate figures the preparation of the ration card. This confirms the importance and necessity of conducting a general census of the population in Iraq this year and provide the necessary allocations in this budget.
It is surprisingly meager allocations for the housing sector, despite the severe crisis in the housing and the magnitude of the needs of low-income groups, which need not believe in private sector investment of foreign and local levels.
As well as representatives of the culture sector remained his ministry lacks a real interest in the budget. Valm_khass of the Ministry of hardly more than that of past years, which this time 26 / 1000 the size of the budget no more! On top of that, and for the allocations of assessments for the project "Najaf, the capital of Islamic culture" and "Baghdad is the capital of Arab culture", festivals and cultural celebrations other of the Ministry of Culture, has been excluded from the budget and postpone adoption until the supplementary budget, if you decide to prepare such a budget later in the year the current.
Having acquired the oil and energy, including electricity, the largest share of the budget, we look forward to is to speed up the implementation of the announced projects, and according to the times and the promises that were fired and the required specifications, through the tightening of anti-corruption and control of performance by the Council of Representatives and the regulatory authorities of other state .
And indicate these observations, along with many others, that do not have the space to mention in detail, the need to address these shortcomings and gaps toward greater justice for the benefit of groups low-income and Mahdodth, and provide the necessary resources for the sectors of basic social services and productive activities and the development of effective controls to ensure the proper implementation of projects, especially in the the fields of energy.
