Corporate Governance In Iraqi Banks... Enhancing Transparency And Efficiency

Time: 06/10/2024 Read: 1,378 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Corporate governance is one of the most important factors that contribute to enhancing the performance and safety of the banking sector.

By applying sound governance principles, banks can improve their efficiency and risk management, and enhance investor and customer confidence.

In Iraq, banks have made great strides in applying corporate governance principles, with support from the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company.

These efforts have contributed to improving the performance of the banking sector and increasing its transparency, which has had a positive impact on the Iraqi economy in general.

Singapore's experience in the field of corporate governance in the banking sector is an example to follow.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has implemented a set of stringent governance standards, including

disclosure and transparency requirements,

defining the responsibilities of the board of directors and executive management, and

periodically evaluating banks' performance.

These efforts have made Singapore a global financial center with an excellent reputation for transparency and integrity.

In Iraq, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company can play a greater role in enhancing corporate governance in banks, by encouraging banks to adopt international best practices in this field, and providing training and guidance to members of the boards of directors and executive management.

It can be said that the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company represents an inspiring success story under difficult circ*mstances.

Through its vital role in protecting depositors’ funds and enhancing confidence in the banking system, the company contributes to building a strong and stable national economy.

As its efforts in development and innovation continue, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company promises to be an essential pillar in achieving sustainable economic development in Iraq.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, confirmed on Sunday that it is possible to link China’s Belt and Road with Iraq’s strategic project of the Development Road.

Al-Sudani’s statement took place during his meeting with Dai Houliang, the chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), which is the government-owned parent company of PetroChina.

The meeting addressed Iraq’s interest in developing gas projects, fertilizer industries, and energy projects, in addition to the construction of a power plant and a petrochemical factory, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the New Silk Road, is a worldwide infrastructure development project launched by the Chinese government in 2013 with investments in more than 150 countries.

According to the World Bank, the Belt and Road Initiative has the potential to increase trade flows in 155 participating countries by 4.1 percent while also lowering global trade costs by 1.1 to 2.2 percent and increasing the GDP of East Asian and Pacific developing countries by an average of 2.6 to 3.9 percent.

The Chinese initiative aims to build an integrated large market that fully utilizes both international and domestic markets through cultural exchange and integration to improve member countries’ mutual understanding and trust.

The New Silk Road bridges an infrastructural gap and has the potential to boost economic growth across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe.

Iraq’s $17 billion Development Road project will connect the Al-Faw Grand Port in southern Iraq to the border with Turkey by extending a railway and road network.

Many Arab, regional, and European countries have expressed their willingness to participate in Iraq’s Development Road project, either by pumping in investments or taking part in the construction works, as it constitutes an important link between Asia and Europe.

The project is expected to turn the country into a transit center by shortening the travel time between Asia and Europe in an attempt to compete with Egypt’s Suez Canal.

Al-Sudani illustrated earlier that the project includes a railway to transport goods, with a capacity of 3.5 million tons in its first phase that will be increased to 7.5 million tons in the second phase.

The Iraqi Prime Minister mentioned that the project will also include a highway for land transport and pipelines to transport energy, in addition to the Al-Faw Grand Port and the industrial city expected to be one of the largest in the Middle East.

As a global corridor to transport goods and energy, the project will generate many job opportunities for Iraq and the countries of the region, as well as opportunities for industries and businessmen, and it will be a center attracting global trade.

Oil Prices Decline With The Rise Of The Dollar After US Data

Energy Economy News _ Baghdad Oil prices fell for the second session in a row on Monday, affected by a rise in the dollar if expectations of a cut in US interest rates were postponed in the wake of strong US jobs data on Friday.

By 0036 GMT, Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 4 cents to $79.58 and $75.49 per barrel, respectively.

Data last Friday showed that the number of new jobs in the United States was more than expected last month, which prompted investors to reduce expectations of a rate cut and led to a rise in the dollar.

The rise of the dollar increases the cost of purchasing commodities denominated in the US currency, such as oil, for holders of other currencies.

The euro was also under pressure, reflecting the uncertainty in the euro zone, after French President Emmanuel Macron called for early legislative elections in June after his party lost in the European Parliament elections to Marine Le Pen's far-right party.

Markets are also focusing on the meetings of the Federal Reserve (US central bank) and the Bank of Japan this week.

Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude suffered a third weekly loss in a row last week, due to fears that a plan to reduce production cuts implemented by the OPEC+ group starting in October will add to an increase in global supply.

In Iraq, Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani said that there is progress in talks with Kurdistan Region officials and representatives of international companies operating there to reach an agreement to resume oil exports through the Iraqi-Turkish oil pipeline, through which about 0.5% of global oil supplies passed.

John Williams: Saudi Arabia Cancels 50 Year Deal with the US

June 10, 2024

In a recent episode of his YouTube channel ‘ThisIsJohnWilliams’, economic analyst John Williams discussed a seismic shift in the global financial landscape: Saudi Arabia’s cancellation of a 50-year-old deal with the USA, and the implications this could have for the future of the US dollar.

For those unaware, Saudi Arabia and the USA have been partners in the oil industry for over half a century. This partnership has been instrumental in maintaining the petrodollar system, where oil prices are quoted in US dollars, thereby supporting the global demand for the greenback.

However, as Williams discussed, this long-standing relationship appears to be on the brink of collapse. Saudi Arabia has recently signaled its intention to abandon the petrodollar system, instead looking to conduct its oil transactions in other currencies, such as the Chinese yuan.

This announcement has sent shockwaves through the financial world. The demise of the petrodollar system could lead to a significant decline in the demand for the US dollar, potentially causing a collapse in its value.

Moreover, Williams also highlighted the ongoing shift towards digital currencies. With countries like China already testing their digital yuan, the future of finance seems to be heading in a digital direction. The US, in order to maintain its financial dominance, needs to keep up with this trend and develop its own digital currency.

However, the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency is not just about its dominance in the physical and digital world; it’s also about trust. And if the US continues to print money at an alarming rate, as it has been doing to cope with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this trust could erode, further jeopardizing the dollar’s status.

So, what does this all mean for the average American? If the US dollar’s value were to decline significantly, the purchasing power of our savings and wages would also decrease. This could lead to increased inflation, making everyday items more expensive.

While these are unsettling prospects, it’s important to remember that these are potential outcomes, not certainties. The financial world is complex and ever-changing, and many factors could influence these outcomes.

John Williams’ discussion serves as a valuable reminder, though. We need to stay informed about the global financial landscape and consider how these changes could impact our personal finances. It may be time to start thinking about diversifying our savings, considering alternative investment options, and preparing for a potential shift in the value of the US dollar.

In conclusion, Saudi Arabia’s cancellation of its long-standing deal with the USA and the ongoing shift towards digital currencies could significantly impact the future of the US dollar. While these changes bring uncertainty, they also present opportunities for those who are prepared and informed. Let’s stay vigilant, stay informed, and stay ahead of the curve.

The Investor Sells To A Financier By “Defaulting” The Finances.. The Secrets Of The High Prices Of Investment Housing Units

Economy 2024-06-09 3,128 views Alsumaria News-Economy Today, Sunday, the Parliamentary Investment Committee reviewed the reasons for the “dilemma” of high prices for investment housing units, which were supposedly created to solve the housing crisis in the country, while indicating that the

most prominent reason is that the investor did not obtain a contract with the Ministry of Finance and therefore sold the units to “financiers.” “ They can set selling prices without any restrictions.

The Vice Chairman of the Committee, Hussein Al-Sabari, said in an interview with Al-Sumaria News,

“There are several reasons behind the rise in the prices of investment housing units, especially in Baghdad,” noting that the higher the prices.”

He added, "The other side of the rise in prices is that every investor who applies for a residential investment project provides economic feasibility by determining the construction price and the purchase price," noting that

"investment bodies, whether national or in the governorates, did not follow up and monitor the different numbers between reality and feasibility." "Economic, and therefore

we did not witness any punitive measures or warnings issued by investment authorities against violating companies."

He explained that the main reason behind the lack of monitoring and rising prices is that some investors circumvent this mtter by selling housing units to banks or financing financial institutions, and

they in turn sell at higher prices and in the numbers they want, as

they are not a party to the contract related to economic feasibility. He points out that

“the investor’s justification for selling the units to a financier or bank is that he did not obtain a loan or contract with the Ministry of Finance and the State Real Estate Department,” noting that

“there is negligence in the Ministry of Finance regarding this issue, represented by the problem of not signing contracts, which... The investor pays to sell the housing units to banks, which finance the construction, acquire the housing units, and sell them at the prices they want.”

He explained, "If the pace of work in new cities is fast and starts offering reasonable prices, it is possible for the middle classes to obtain housing units.

However, with this climate and investment environment in this way, it is difficult for the middle class to obtain apartments, especially within the capital, Baghdad."

Reconstructing Iraq: The role of banks in financing the future

Time: 06/08/2024 20:27:26 Read: 2,730 times {Economic: Al-Furat News}Reconstructing Iraq after years of wars and conflicts represents a great challenge,

but it also represents an opportunity to rebuild a strong and sustainable economy.

Banks play a crucial role in financing reconstruction, by providing the loans and credit facilities necessary to finance construction and infrastructure projects.

TheIraqi Deposit Insurance Companyplayed an important role in enhancing the confidence of investors and depositors in the Iraqi banking system,

which made it easier for banks to obtain the necessary financing for reconstruction.

It is estimated that Iraqi banks have provided loans worth more than $10 billion to finance reconstruction projects in recent years.

Germany's experience after World War II is an inspiring example of how banks can play a crucial role in the country's reconstruction.

TheKfW German Development Bank has contributed to financing many vital projects in Germany, such as rebuilding industrial and residential infrastructure, and providing financing for small and medium-sized companies.

After Depriving About 200 Commercial Companies Of The Dollar... Will Some Goods “Disappear” From The Market?

Economy 2024-06-08 | 4,496 views Alsumaria News-Economy Today, Saturday, the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce outlined the expected effects of the Central Bank of Iraq’s recent decision to deprive 197 general trading companies from the currency auction, due to violations, while indicating the possibility of these companies returning to the auction.

Baghdad Chamber of Commerce spokesman, Rashid Al-Saadi, told Al-Sumaria News,

“The suspension of 197 companies and deprivation of obtaining the dollar at the official rate from the Central Bank of Iraq came after violations were flagged and the provision of unreal and exaggerated information about their trade and imports,” noting that“

some of their transactions The information you provided is fictitious, and in light of these violations, this penalty was imposed and they were removed from the list for obtaining dollars.”

Regarding whether depriving these companies will have expected effects on the market or the possibility of the “disappearance” of some types of goods and merchandise, especially since these companies are all general trade and cigarette import companies, Al-Saadi said,

“This number does not represent anything, as there are thousands of companies entering the currency auction for the purpose of obtaining dollars.”

Therefore, the increase in these companies will not have a significant impact on the market, whether in terms of goods or in terms of the rise in the price of the dollar.”

He explained that "the number of companies and merchants who enter through the currency platform is large and increasing day after day, after the facilities of the Central Bank and the increased experience of bank employees, as

previously merchants were facing problems and did not accept to buy dollars from the Central Bank due to the difficulty of dealing. However, employees...

"The banks have entered into training courses and the process has become easier."

Regarding the future of these companies and whether they will stop their work or go to buy the dollar from the parallel market, he stressed that

“these companies can adjust their legal status and submit a request to the Central Bank to reconsider the decision after these companies apply the required standards,” noting that “this matter

This happened earlier with 5 major and well-known companies in Iraq, where they were deprived of the dollar after a penalty was imposed on one of the banks,

but these companies submitted a request to the Central Bank, met the required standards, and returned to the currency auction easily.”

Political analyst Qasim Balshan said on Monday that American forces will not leave Iraqi territory and will remain in the camps while changing the capacity in which they are present inside Iraq.

Balshan told the Maalouma Agency, “There is no actual move to end the presence of American forces in military bases, and what will happen is to change the capacity in which these forces are present.”

He added, “The Sudanese visit to Washington did not involve an agreement with the American administration to withdraw its forces from Iraq, as there is no official request submitted by the Iraqi government to its American counterpart to withdraw its forces from military bases inside Iraq. "

The Iraqi government is setting increasing the country's oil reserves to more than 160 billion barrels, a strategic goal for the next stage, on a strong path to support its steps in terms of ongoing economic reforms, and support its ability to achieve sustainable development and improve its economic reality.

Iraq has high hopes for its crude oil exports, especially with the formation of more than 90 percent of the Iraqi budget revenues, which prompted it to launch a set of projects to increase production and open the way for investments in the field of oil and gas field exploration.

In this context, Chinese companies have emerged as a major player in the oil investment arena in Iraq, in contrast to the absence of American and European companies, through the acquisition of many new investments by a number of companies to explore oil and gas fields in Iraq, as part of the licensing round launched by the Ministry of Oil to develop the oil and gas sector in the country

CandyKisses: Saudi Arabia and America are putting the final touches to an unprecedented alliance. Surprise details revealed

Baghdad today - follow-up

American and Saudi officials said today, Sunday (June 9, 2024), that the administration of President Joe Biden is close to finalizing an unprecedented defense agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to the American Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper reported that the Biden administration is about to finalize a treaty with Saudi Arabia, under which Washington commits to helping defend the Kingdom as part of a deal aimed at advancing diplomatic relations between Riyadh and Israel (normalization).

The potential deal, which has been widely debated between US and other officials for weeks, is part of a broader package that will include a civilian nuclear deal between Washington and Riyadh and steps toward Palestinian statehood and an end to the war in Gaza.

The newspaper quoted US and Saudi officials as saying that the draft treaty was modeled after the joint security agreement between the United States and Japan.

The draft treaty would give Washington the possibility to use Saudi territory and the kingdom's airspace to protect US interests and partners in the region in exchange for a US commitment to help defend Saudi Arabia in the event of an attack.

It quoted officials as saying the treaty was also aimed at strengthening ties between Riyadh and Washington by preventing China from building bases in the kingdom or continuing security cooperation with Riyadh.

Approval of the treaty, which the Wall Street Journal said would be called the Strategic Alliance Agreement, would require a two-thirds majority vote in the US Senate in favor, something that would be difficult to achieve unless the agreement provided for normalization of relations between Israel and the kingdom.
