    We have a promise to reduce debt and provide loans and offer technical assistance and support for a plan to impose law and the promotion of national reconciliation initiative, and all of this work requires all Iraqi political bloc, their deputies and their governmental and non-governmental organizations that perform joint effort in order to activate these recommendations and to fulfill the promises we have ...Everybody should unite and gather around their voice to government programs and the country's progress towards fulfilling ... On the political blocs must work seriously to create the ground and support dialogue and political accommodation.
    Requesting Hasna Muhammad Hussein-Mustansiriyah University, says : The spread of Sharm el-Sheikh hope and optimism among the Iraqi citizen, but what is more important is how to translate these decisions into practical and effective steps that would provide the requirements of the progress desired by the Iraqis in various fields, and this requires perseverance and effort on the part of political forces that should waive all Tmalsha and cons of responsibility and pushing firmly on the path to success of the political process has damaged Iraqis Hall disasters and crises they have lived and now we hear the internationalization of crises that we first make effort to resolve and cohesion from a national scale and formulate serious steps on the path of reconciliation, tolerance and the elimination of terrorism.
    The d. Haifa Abdul Hamid says : We have heard good things eliminating some debt and strengthen stability in the country and reconciliation.
    As we look to the practical embodiment of the things I think that the parties to the political process in Iraq to coordinate their positions to implement the aspiration of the Iraqi people and to achieve what Aahdona it .. The solution, however, the Iraqis themselves, and there must be a national covenant at home stems from the professional standard and patriotic and builds on the basis reject sectarianism and the lack of obstacles to the process of construction and progress.
    In this context, the highest political body for Iraq Aluchaabanih an uprising launched by saying :
    While optimistic and hope all the best decisions of the positive outcome of the international conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, which opens new horizons of international and regional support for democratic change happening in Iraq and the political and economic support of the oppressed Iraqi people, the sons of Iraq uprising Aluchaabanih kinsmen of the mass graves they thank and appreciation to all the good efforts made to leaders and commanders representatives of the participating countries in this conference who have become convinced the full importance of supporting Iraq in its current ordeal as one of the most important countries in international stability and as Chairperson front in fighting and eliminating terrorism as well as its economic and cultural.
    To Angfel important and prominent role played by the Iraqi diplomacy of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari made clear and distinct effort to persuade regional states to attend the conference and actively participate.
    We call on the Iraqi people to reject the inherent discord and sectarianism and racism abhorrent and to close ranks and Cmir Forearms to build and brotherhood and support the state of institutions and the state of law and the federal pluralistic democratic option and call Messrs. parties, and trends in the national and religious to be role models for the people as people and leaders away from illegal racing and the pursuit chairs and cornering power and selfishness unhelpful in dealing with them and rise on smaller matters and they please their people and nation-building and reconstruction.

    'Announcement of establishment of the Jihad and Reform Front in Iraq...'



    On May 4, Al Quds Al Arabi, a Palestinian-owned daily, reported: "Three exapnsive Iraqi factions have formed what is known as the Jihad and Reform Front. The Front's statement, a copy of which was delivered to Al Quds Al Arabi, said: "The three groups: the Islamic Army in Iraq, the Mujahideen Army and the Ansar Al-Sunna group, have formed a united front called the Jihad and Islamic Front. The Front will be united at the following level: general religious doctrine, general policies, the political program, the stance vis-a-vis the main events, operations and military statements".

    "The statement continued that the Front pledges to continue to conduct Jihad in Iraq until all the goals are achieved, including the full and real withdrawal of the occupiers, the consecration of God's religion,... and the elimination of evil in accordance with the following policies and regulations:

    "1- Justice is guaranteed to all...

    "2- The military actions of the Mujahideen target the occupiers and their agents and not the innocent people, whereby the goal of the Jihad is to defend them and provide them with a dignified life...

    "3- ... Seeking to earn the trust of Muslims in general and the Sunnis in particular while distancing ourselves from all that could harm the Jihad and the Mujahideen even if it is legitimate...

    "4- Commit to moderation and middle-grounds without showing extremism in any saying or action... and follow the Sunna of the Prophet, Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him, in war and in peace.

    "5- Not get carried away in secondary battles at the expense of the main battle. Limit the circle of conflict with the enemy and spare whoever can be spared among them.

    "6- The Mujahideen are the protectors of the religion and its followers. It is our priority to protect the blood, money and honor of Muslims and alleviate the burden from residential areas as much as possible... What is required in every action is planning and not improvisation. Whoever supports the Mujahideen is one of them.

    "7- Protect the financial and moral wealth, develop it and invest it. Spread the Islamic values in all economic aspects...

    "8- Differentiate between absolute principles that do not change in time and space, and partial policies related to interests and by which we abide in accordance with time and place...

    "9- Work on achieving interests and completing them and hindering and diminishing corruption... There is no greater interest than monotheism and no corruption greater than polytheism.

    "10- Adopt realism in the performance, the assessment and the handling, while continuously aspiring to reach all goals...

    "11- Take in interest in religious politics and spreading it. Our policies are all based on the Koran and the Sunna... Politics aim to achieve reform. If reform is lost, it is lost.

    "12- Differentiate between political action which is based on religion and entering the so-called political process such as by partaking in elections. Any political action that doesn't place the worries of Iraq, at the head of which is the ousting of the occupiers and the release of the prisoners from the prisons of their sectarian government..., above everything else is useless. Hence, we do not recognize any political game, starting with the infamous Bremer council to Al-Maliki's collaborating sectarian government. We also do not recognize the sectarian elections on the basis of which was formed all the treaties signed by these consecutive governments and the constitution...

    "13- Upholding the people's security is one of our priorities. It is the duty of the army, the police and all the security forces to defend religion and its sanctities, the country and its sovereignty and the people. However, the army, police and security forces in our country are sectarian forces serving the occupiers. They are part of their plans, they complement their aggression and execute their goals." - Al Quds Al Arabi, United Kingdom

    sico delivers gcc markets outlook at major financial times middle east summit

    Posted: 07-05-2007 , 07:27 GMT


    Securities & Investment Company (SICO), the Bahrain based securities house, recently delivered its outlook for GCC markets at a major Financial Times Middle East Summit held in Bahrain. The “Middle East Financial Services Summit” held on 2 May was attended by leading financial services experts from across the region to present new ideas and insights into how GCC financial markets are developing.

    Speaking to delegates at the summit, SICO’s Head of Asset Management, Mr. Shakeel Sarwar, said, “The region has seen strong economic growth over the past couple of years with real GDP growth rates running at between 6 and 7%. Markets have developed with this growth, meaning the GCC now has 152 companies with a market capitalisation of more than US$1 billion.

    “Following the growth of corporate earnings across the region, we expect earnings to slow down in 2007. We believe corporate earnings growth will remain in line with or be higher than GCC markets’ GDP growth rates.

    “Following the market corrections of late 2005 and 2006, SICO believes that GCC markets are, on average, 20% below fair values. Future returns are expected to come from an expansion in price/earnings multiples and growth in earnings.”

    During the presentation, SICO detailed to delegates how the market corrections of 2005 and 2006 had seen valuations across all GCC markets contract substantially, a situation which has persisted despite the GCC now being favourably valued when compared to other emerging markets such as China and India.

    SICO believes additional factors further underline the investment potential of the GCC. All GCC countries will continue to generate budget surpluses whilst the oil price remains within its expected range of US$55-65. Around US$1.2 trillion is also expected to be spent on real estate, oil and gas and power generation projects over the next few years, further enhancing GCC economies. With a large proportion of the region’s population in the economically active segment, demand for consumer, financial and real estate products is expected to remain high. In addition, compared to other developing markets, the GCC’s consumer financial sector remains largely under-penetrated.

    Key risk factors were also outlined during the presentation, including the risk of slower global economic growth putting pressure on oil prices, the possibility of a real estate correction and other risks.

    SICO’s Asset Management has built the longest track record for equity management in the region, with over US$400m of assets under management. SICO Funds have consistently produced impressive returns outperforming benchmarks and similar funds.

    Securities & Investment Company is a securities house offering a selective range of investment banking services, including asset management, brokerage, market-making and corporate finance, on a regional basis and with a particular emphasis on Bahrain. SICO was incorporated in Bahrain in 1995 and holds an investment-banking license from the Bahrain Monetary Agency.

    Similarly, the transfer of funds from one place to another inside Iraq or outside Iraq through its branches or agree with the other banks.

    ـEverything evolved mechanisms associated with the needs of the banking market is not any demand that the element of any banking service or product
    As it is known these days it comes to a demand tradition of other banks, and not a matter of innovation.

    The school English in the banking was prevailing in Iraq as in the countries of the region, despite the emergence of banks, French, Italian and German in addition to those which were carrying British citizenship, which was only differences between the catalog and some mathematical terminology bank.

    Banking policies and patterns of circulation with the regions and governorates :
    Competed-owned banks with government-owned banks in the private sector proliferation in the territories and provinces.

    And of course the win for the banks as they become the first agent of the Iraqi Central Bank vaults in the maintenance of accounts and services and State institutions which constitute a large part of their deposits in private banks denied that clung to their positions and their presence in the markets as it preceded the provincial government banks in emerging and it is capable of flexible working , and its relations with its positions, particularly foreign bank branches allow for the implementation of the foreign transactions of credits and other transfers more efficiently.

    Of course, economic conditions in the provinces were different between the province and another.
    They were both Basra and Mosul provinces formed since first is the only port and the second is the natural market for the Northern Region.

    The growing emphasis on capital Baghdad and its commercial center first brought matters to be captured at all centers banks first and the bulk of bank branches in many neighborhoods II.

    Despite the expanded use of sophisticated means of communication but that things have been subject to the central high without granting branches in the regions or provinces sufficient power, although far from the Center, which greatly affect the conduct transactions and interests of the clients.
    Especially in the current situation where the urgent need for a CBE in the Middle Euphrates region in the least to facilitate banking and money transfers among banks for a region comprising five provinces.

    Contexts circulations Almidaineh like banking and North Kurdstan
    The circulations field currently focused on the transfer of funds in the light of the uncertain security situation both for the purpose of transfer or for the purpose of buying foreign currencies, and in both cases the matter is an indicator of recession and stagnation is not.

    In the case of a bank north and the Kurdstan linked in the region is due to the Royal I. addition to the banks in general, with prejudice market almost exclusively mostly on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies by contributing to the auction held by the Iraqi Central Bank every day, which was expected to be Awestmer indefinitely.

    In other words, the banking balance reported economic activity and the market retreated after the reluctance of dealers to rely on banks in their dealings preferring Altadiat or cash remittances outside the banking system.
    Above all the recession year, which contributed to the incident in addition to security reasons, government measures to reduce spending through
    Amending the Iraqi dinar exchange rate either ignorant or procedures Bansaya fully with the demands of external actors on the basis that this is what will end the economic inflation.
    As persistence and financial procedures to lift returns on remittances treasury to nearly 23%, and expansion in the promotion and delivery of the night deposit proceeds to the high numbers of Attatelv normally with the usual in the world, which is based on the assumption fill immediate needs for a short period may not exceeding 18 hours.
    All this has endeared orientation for banks to invest in treasury and remittances night deposit and obtain high returns without relying on the usual practice of banking and confront what is surrounded by risks.

    Rehabilitation programs and economic reform in the banking field
    Succeed banking work is the solid Influence him of the ability to exercise the flexible methods without compromising those rules.

    ـBears banking work acceptable, the two effects :
    External factors come from the retreat and corruption Pacific or the environment.
    Domestic output of underperformance and mismanagement and manipulation.

    Therefore, banks often were strictly adheres to the rules and avoiding risk than paste many of them described the province.
    Over time, the evolution of the banking or banking products as they are called today, as we pointed out earlier that it is continuing and is closely related to the needs of the market and the demand for those products.
    Development requires rehabilitation organ bank of the new service and capacity development at improving performance and efficiency.
    :The guide Iraqi banks and abreast of the development of clear through rehabilitation programs by which to train cadres through :
    Giving workers opportunities completing specialized studies and enter the global banking institutes.
    Seize the opportunities of training organized by global banks.
    In addition, the technology innovations are also imposed on banks and the use of machines to facilitate the implementation and the accuracy in addition to the catalog of accounting control and extract data and statistics easily. After the delayed state-owned banks so late and famous departed continues through the development of the real private banks and initiated since its return to the market early in 1993 to the use of computers and software available and continued to develop its updating of hardware and software, where there is more than one bank currently uses its way (KOBIETY ), which allows for the implementation of customer transactions at any branch soon, but it holds the accounts in addition to increased capacity and supervision of the activities of the bank and its branches transactions instantaneously.

    But the number of banks has been limited as we are constantly urged by the Iraqi Central Bank and the Association of Banks private Iraqi banks to develop means of action and consider all no matter how high spending in this area is unacceptable achieve investment expenditure by raising the efficiency of the banks.
