Fifth Question: Do you demonstrate actual figures for the 2012 budget and actual tendency to change the nature of rent - service orientation of the Iraqi economy Btnoaah?
The answer to this question requires a return to the structure of investments and the share of each sector in which are shown in Table No. (11).
Allows to read the table above the rapid development of the following conclusions:
1 - As mentioned previously, the security and defense sector occupies 14.7% of the total expenditure.
2 - in addition to the observed dominance of the energy sector in expenses where it occupies 17.5% of the total of those expenses. But despite the magnitude of expenditure directed to this sector during the years after 2003, the results were disappointing and the reasons for this are many, including, but not alone, of course, the size of the rampant corruption and the lack of a clear vision for the development of this sector, and this resulted from insufficient development of a strategic vision of successive governments, strategy know what you want.
3 - modest size of the share of sectors of production material and I mean by the agricultural and industrial sectors of their shares so that, together, 3.3% in the total expenditure (2.1% for agriculture and 1.2% for industry). There are many reasons that explain this rate modest, particularly the strategy underlying the current system based on privatization and market mechanisms of free radicals, which assumes, among other things assumed by the withdrawal of state from productive activity and its transformation into a mere sentry, and the freezing of one economic establishments government through the privatization of those facilities and sell ridiculous prices, this in addition to the trend towards transforming the entire energy sector to foreign investment through the recent licensing contracts signed by the Maliki government, which sparked a lot of confusion about the economic feasibility to mention the political implications.

4 - On the other hand noted weakness of the share of housing and construction sector amounted to only 1.0% of the total expenditure at a time when the country is experiencing a serious housing crisis and anchor structures is not up to the challenges of the new phase. In an interview with the Minister of Construction and Housing budget for 2012 noted that: "It is according to what has been passed ... to the housing sector for the year 2012 ..., these allocations are not sufficient to build only (5) residential complexes in all provinces, only the equivalent of 2500 to 3000 housing units over the next year, while the country's need of housing units for the year one must be at least 250,000 to 300,000 thousand units annually, according to another study by the ministry in cooperation with the Organization of Alhbettat of the United Nations and within the general planning to reduce the housing crisis, large Iraq ".
For his part, the minister himself said the financial allocations for the housing sector in the 2012 minimum ambition of the ministry. He expressed surprise at the very weakness of the financial allocations for the housing sector in the investment budget of the Ministry for the year 2012, stressing that what has been allocated by the Ministry of Planning for this important sector and strategic does not rise to the ambition of the ministry for the advancement of the housing sector and reduce the large gap and the tremendous shortage of housing units that bear the ministry responsible for promoting the .
Note that this sector could be a promising sector in terms of its contribution in reducing the rampant unemployment across the absorption is a few sizes of the unemployed, if the appropriations were increased.
5 - high share of the obligations and international contributions and debt, which amounted to 8.0% of the total, note that more than half a little (50.3%) represents the Kuwait war reparations by the dominant regime.
6 - What is interesting is that the share of activities in the commodity does not increase the total spending for the quarter, reaching 22.8% while the share of distribution activities - services 77.2%.
And the importance of this table and quick notes that we have mentioned, but it can be said that these figures and used to give an initial concept that the budget 2012, none of which refers to just try to change the structure of the rentier - service of the Iraqi economy, but we need to stop again at the distribution of public expenditure between the capital expenditures and operating expenses as operating expenses accounted for 68.2% of the total public expenditure in the budget of 2012 offset by the 31.8% of the expenses of the investment, a trend that is roughly analogous to the mainstream, who ruled the 2011 budget
If we took the experiences of previous years, including the experience of the years 2010 and 2011, we find that although this percentage, but we usually run into the fact that strong that the ratios of actual expenditure from the allocations of the investment were generally low and are usually even less than 50%, which is a waste and a waste of resources and corruption. Refers to the size of the economic and social impact of the implementation of these projects and the yield is certain when you accelerate completion. This is not just enough to form a capital expenditures budget, third or a quarter of saying that there is progress being made, but must be linked to the adoption of mechanisms able to make the best use of resources.
Sixth Question: Does the 2012 budget to ensure against price rises and help low-income families and pensioners in particular to improve their situation?
A cost of living are the daily concerns of other people, as well as unemployment and erosion of real wages.
Let us examine what you say 2012 the balance on this side. Message indicates that the Minister of Finance to the subject of our conversation that he and "during meetings with the International Monetary Fund and the presence of the Prime Minister and later the presence of the Parliamentary Committee in the House was reached following":
1 - to be re-considered estimates of operating expenses reached by the committee in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers by taking into account the discount rate (4%) of the provisions of Article (3) of the federal budget law No. (12) for the year / 2011 and that have not been disbursement of $ (2.7) trillion dinars
2 - Reduce the amount of (6.1) trillion dinars of the total proposed capital expenditures for the year / 2012
3 - to postpone the proposed increase on pensions by paying half the amount and the other half be deferred to the budget year / 2013 or in the preparation of a supplemental budget to increase revenues in the case of crude oil exports from the planned budget.
4 - the inclusion of allocations of salaries of employees of public companies that are funded through borrowings from banks and the government of $ (3.597) trillion dinars within the budget of the year / 2012.
5 - to migrate all the additions been the subject of Cabinet decisions to balance the year / 2013 or when the savings in exports of crude oil source for the year / 2012. "
Summary to say: We are facing budget contraction, and this does not need any trouble to uncover The expressions above show that any increase in the paragraphs above postponed to further notice and linked clearly and without jargon to "achieve savings in exports of crude oil source for the year / 2012," which means that the budget for this year is also betting on external factors.
Also reduce the amount of (6.1) trillion dinars of the total proposed capital expenditures for the year / 2012 also demonstrates that we have a deflationary trend, Fajraj this amount of total capital expenditures will reflect negatively on the growth rates and therefore the loss of investment opportunities that could reduce the rates of unemployment.
Have been linked to increases mentioned the "savings in exports of crude oil source for the year / 2012" This is an attempt of the architects of the budget to evade telling the truth and the search for a way to keep the face. If we go back to the observation that he and "during the meetings with the IMF and in the presence of the Prime Minister and later the presence of the Parliamentary Committee in the House was reached following", and we arranged to speak well starting from "meetings with the IMF," we could say that the increases stopped because Fund does not accept these increases from the deflationary policies based on the idea to preserve "the major financial balances" and such increases will - depending on your point of view "experts" to "sabotage" of those balances.
If we link these requirements to inflation rates constant and loss rates, and greater ranges of unemployment, and also the survival of the provision for the ration card in 2012 at the borders (4 billion dinars), the same amount allocated in the budget of 2011 despite the increase in the population of Iraq in 2012, up nearly one million people compared to 2011, we could say that affected the main of these measures if they are low income of working people and retirees, who decided to engineers preparing the budget (and not in isolation from the pressures of "experts" International Monetary Fund) to "postpone the proposed increase on pensions by paying half the amount and the other half to postpone the budget year / 2013 or in the preparation of a supplemental budget to increase revenues in the case of crude oil exports from what is planned budget. " This trick is great to be on the poor and low-income and first knowledge of the struggle against the second.
Keeping the amount allocated to the ration card as a form of support for people with limited income, unchanged (ie the same level as in 2011), calls for a pause especially closely Bsana: Is the budget to ensure against price rises and help low-income families and pensioners in particular?
First of all, it should be noted that the need for the support of important social and political terms, as a result of the imbalance in the distribution of national income between the classes and different social groups. The data available indicate that the result of the adoption of a market economy and its associated economic opening without controls has deteriorated in the wage share of total public expenditure in 2012, while increased the relative share of the rights of property owners in the same year. Since there is more than 5 million people of earners of wages and salaries, including retirees in addition to hundreds of thousands of widows and families of martyrs and similar, the deterioration is clear there will be a standard of living of the majority of the population, this in addition to rates of inflation contribute to inflict more damage people with limited income. Hence, the policy of redistribution of national income as relevant social - political centrality to correct some of the negative effects of income distribution in question. Support is one of the images in the redistribution of national income, The card ration, for example - in spite of all the notes on it - to ensure a certain extent, provide some essential goods in specified quantities of the layers and social groups, torn by a wave of price rises, rising, and protected from the tyranny of high prices on the most important means of living , which are essential goods. It seems that this problem can only be resolved to root out the fundamental roots, which is the disruption of the structure of GDP, the rentier nature of change - service of the Iraqi economy for the benefit of the commodity sectors, particularly sectors of material production, and the other hand, improving the distribution of national income. These are in fact many challenges beyond the detent powerful forces today in power in our country.
On the other hand statistical data indicate installed in the budget in 2012 that it would face a deficit of $ (14.768) trillion dinars, which we have referred to previously, and this requires more borrowing from various sources, including the banking system, which fed inflation and raise rates. If thanks to the new budget, the citizens will be stuck between the rock of inflation and the anvil to attract demand for payment of costs and inflation, economists say.
The seventh question: What are the economic options - major social to the Government of "national partnership" through the general directives of the federal budget for the year 2012?
Although phrases that encapsulate notes the submission of draft annual budgets, and the current budget, including, which is formulated with precision even suggest that the budget included already in the process of development would transform the country from the situation, which is located to a higher level, but the manifestations of the negative remain clearly visible, a as revealed by answers to a number of questions raised in the previous sections of this contribution.
The structural crisis of comprehensive known to the Iraqi economy are of the social side, with all its tragic, and reveal clearly the failure of economic policies is limited to financial balances, and based on the indicators "macro - economic" in the absence of any development strategy effective social conflict is around, as part of an organic Battle of the alternatives. On the basis of the strategy upon which the federal budget for 2012, we can say that this budget disputed contradictory two concerns, one is linked to maintaining the structural balances and the second is linked to the need to find treatments and effective solutions to the economic and social issues. And can be expressed in this swing obsession with fiscal and economic obsession deficit, which is the result of the economic and social pressure great.
They see at the operating level, is seeking the federal budget for 2012 to the events of 58 908 degrees and careers, "for the purpose of the appointment of new graduates of medical specialties and health, teaching, education, police and military," a modest number and amounts to approximately 1 / 3 grades included in the 2011 budget. Interestingly, the numbers do not include the number of grades of assessments for the Ministry of Defence. Below is a table of key figures.
At the economic level, the measures referred to in the federal budget (paragraph structure of the budget) will, it seems, to devote economy continued depends on the rents of oil in the first place and thus maintain the structured backward and unilateralism of the Iraqi economy which is reflected in the statistical figures installed in the following table (Table 13). The ratio of the increase in total expenses of the oil sector, 33% in 2012 compared to 2011 in while the percentage increase in the total budget of 17.4 percent during the same period, which means that the pace of growth in the oil sector amounted to about twice the exciting growth of the budget in 2012 note that the nature of this sector as a sector of the proliferation of financial and supports its role in attracting rents next to the oil industry and it does not forward or background make him a pillar of development.
And confirms the previous observation that the strategy is to re-set the balance in one side of the Iraqi economy as one of the goals that the federal budget seeks to accomplish. Based on a set of historical experiences, the restoration of balance to the economy of one-sided and a yield at the same time supposed to pass through the activation of other productive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and development of industries that rely on local raw materials. But the federal budget to the dictates of relying mainly external factors do not help to achieve this destination.
In return, and although unemployment is no longer the case does not see only with a microscope! It became one of the dilemmas the major face of the country in every sense of the implications of economic, social, political, security and others, and though the interview senior officials repeatedly on this issue and to consider the elimination of unemployment one of the major goals is seeking "economic strategy" to accomplish, to read the budget does not allow to find what shows that there are concrete measures to address this urgent and serious problem, especially in the major sectors, particularly for agriculture, construction, and construction sectors are in fact the most absorption of unemployment in the Iraqi economy in the current moment of its development. In a time when hundreds of thousands of graduates from the consequences of unemployment, the federal budget of the Iraqi state in 2012 did not depend only 58,908 degrees and careers, which we have referred to above in more than one place.
If we go back to fundamentals and general principles of the budget estimates of the numbers in 2012, we find that tackling unemployment is located in the conclusion of these foundations.
To demonstrate this observation, "occasional" we must read the following text: "in order to reach the goals envisaged for the budget year / 2012 the focus was on improving the capabilities in the areas of security and national defense projects and the oil sector, electricity services and basic infrastructure and the master and working to absorb or address the unemployment through the development of sectors and activities, and implementation of projects and capacity building as well as to improve the environment and safeguard human rights and provide job opportunities to absorb the unemployment. " The above figures on the number of grades demonstrates the "attention" given by the engineers to prepare the budget 2012!.
These facts refute the claims of engineers that it is seeking the federal budget to fight poverty and combat unemployment and to achieve regional balance.
On the other hand we must stir up attention to it and although the sectors of social services, water, sewage and sanitation suffer from problematic large to weigh on the daily life of the population, but the budget review for 2012 shows the small amounts allocated for investment in these sectors so formed a combined 8.2% of the total overhead (4.95% for social services and 3.3% for water, sewage and sanitation).
And show the cost of maintaining the "balance of major economic" in the power struggle influential among themselves for power, wealth and influence, and in conditions of security, tense and volatile from time to time, and the failure of economic policies adopted by successive governments and the last government of "national partnership", show that cost through pressures exerted on the public expenditure, especially to reduce support costs, basic material, particularly the ration card, which is usually rejected by the International Monetary Fund, which his obsession basis to maintain the so-called equilibrium major economic and without strain the self in the search for the social effects of those decisions and whether the social groups of poor and working people generally have the ability to bear the burden of these policies?.
