Economic : Dr. Ibrahim Roses : low inflation indicator of the good performance of the monetary policy
27.05.07

BAGHDAD - Hassan Al-Rubaie
Dr. Ibrahim Musa Roses teaching in the Faculty of Administration and Economics University of Baghdad that inflation disastrous results reflected on the life of the community, compounded by uneven and generate incomes and reduction in the level of operating capacities and thereby diminishing employment opportunities, and unemployment rates are an economic indicator, which reflects the good performance of the economic policy of the government The trends economics

He added in a lecture he delivered in a specialized symposium on the effects of inflation and its impact on the economic situation of living that is durable swap between the inflation rate low and the unemployment rate is high and vice versa and that the stability and growth not only bring in a stabilization of cash.

And the case is the cause of the continuous rise in prices is enormous and significant expansion in the money supply in quantities greater than demand plus Nakecudi that the model must be based on a function of the stable cash balances real and such stocks is supposed to be a function of the level of real income and the opportunity costs retention money.

He therefore called roses to the study and analysis of inflation in the light of the structural composition of the national economy should be seen as a result of the limited number of bottlenecks and constraints in the national economy which is imperative in any economy trying conditions to grow rapidly in the presence of bottlenecks or restrictions, most notably :

- Inelastic supply of food due to increased demand, which can, for example, secure the agricultural sector due to structural constraints of this sector and could not respond to requests broad result of high demand.
- Under the foreign currency shortage great sense and not available to cover imports due to serious shortage of production and the risk rises in the material and the lack of balance in the balance of payments paid to ease its currency and the increase of inflationary pressures.

The third limitation is associated with the lack of internal financial resources (budget deficit) any inadequacy in government revenue to offset the growth rates and spending ..

Roses also stressed that the ways and means of addressing a result of inflation, which causes many to be linked to the expansion of the money supply, achieving economic stability must be cemented through the building and the Iraqi monetary unit value (the dinar) at the foreign currency exchange rate and strengthen and reduce inflation only with controlling transnational phenomenon and monetary stability monetary growth to achieve economic stability.

It is the responsibility of monetary policy, which should make the system more flexible exchange system from its current working towards gradual ascent for the benefit of the Iraqi dinar what ultimately creates a stable economic climate provides prosperity and optimism and growth of the Iraqi economy, it is understood from the analysis of Dr. Ibrahim Roses that with the procedures the Central Bank to strengthen the value of the dinar Iraqi against foreign currencies.

Al-Ahram Al-Maliki calls for the implementation of the decisions of the Sharm el-Sheikh and left office says Blair paid for Iraq war

Iraqi Media Observatory in Cairo

Http://iraqegypt.blogspot.com/2007/05/blog-post_27.html

Coverage varied Ghalib Egyptian newspapers today, Sunday, May 27 07 of the Iraqi-field developments and controversy within the American administration about staying in Iraq militarily, With the major official newspapers Baghdad government to implement the decisions of the Sharm El Sheikh conference for the security and reconstruction of Iraq and the sole way to restore stability and the newspaper reviewed a lengthy dialogue with the British Prime Minister, the outgoing Tony Blair said he left office price for the war on Iraq and that there was no room for removing Saddam Hussein by force only.

The official daily newspaper headlines about Iraq. in Al-Ahram, "Washington looking withdraw half of its troops from Iraq next year .. killing and wounding 97 Iraqis and killing three American soldiers .. White House looking to reduce American forces in Iraq by half over the next year .. British forces faced rage in Basra retaliation for the killing of the leader of the Mahdi Army .. Turkish delegation in Iraq to discuss the crisis PKK

".

Washington supports Ankara in the face of the terrorist activities of the Kurds "in the news" Bush reduce American forces in Iraq by half next year. Allawi's talks with leaders of Iraqi factions in preparation for the dialogue with the resistance "in the republic" American plans for permanent presence in Iraq through 4 military bases. "

"

The delegation-daily opposition-titles were "killing three American soldiers and 22 Iraqis were killed in a series of new attacks by American and British forces attacked Shiite militia of Muqtada al-Sadr after the appearance"

"

In her inaugural title "national reconciliation through stability in Iraq," said Al-Ahram that Iraq is witnessing a significant deterioration in the security situation despite the plans and actions announced by the Iraqi government and American forces to restore security to the country missing, the newspaper gave some examples of the arrival of the number of dead American army during the month of May only about one hundred soldiers .. as evidenced Basra "revolution" against British forces after the killing of the leader of the Mahdi Army, the newspaper criticized Washington for the Department of the Iraqi file and indecision about its future plans in Iraq, "President Bush signed the new law on the financing of the American forces did not contain specific timetables for the withdrawal of these forces from Iraq, studying at the same time reducing combat troops there during the next year to just one hundred thousand troops, concentrated its mission to train Iraqi forces to address the armed militias and security "

The Gazette that military solutions alone will not lead to the improvement of the situation in Iraq, and the only way to achieve security and stability is of national reconciliation among all political forces and sectarian manner that guarantees the participation of all in the management of the country, and Iraqi government succeed in achieving significant progress in the political, economic and security. The Baghdad government Gazette to implement the decisions of both el-Sheikh summit on the security and reconstruction of Iraq "and the series will continue without deterioration of security in Iraq indefinitely .. Unit Iraqi citizen pays."

Reviewed today - Egyptian independent daily-dialogue by the British Prime Minister of the outgoing Tony Blair with the Arab satellite Saudi Arabia, which came dialogue on Iraq, he left his exorbitant price for the war against Iraq

And Blair, had begun his speech to the «explicitly» Arab channel saying «Saddam Hussein will not change, which represents an obstacle for us all, it must oust ..» adding, "I think we have done what is right for the war on Iraq and ensure that Iraqis property, We confront those who explosions instead of providing stability to the Iraqis, as we seek to obtain Iraq's opportunity for growth and development, and we pledge to do so, particularly as the Iraqi government needs now to support us in dealing with terrorism. "

Replying to a question about the option of supporting the Iraqi opposition rather than war? He said : We looked for a solution, but we found that the Iraqi opposition exists abroad, and those inside deals with the Iraqi regime brutally, there were only one way to get rid of it.

He stressed that military solutions unsuccessful in dealing with extremists, it could not overthrow the extremist ideologies easily, so try to persuade Iraq and the surrounding countries to leave the stability of the Iraqi people makes himself.

Blair said : "We chose to overthrow Saddam Hussein without other dictatorial Arab regimes, as it has in the last 15 years of the violation of United Nations resolutions, and there are others that work with us to implement the reform program.

He pointed out that Muslims are killing each other, has inspired many of us to get out of the crisis fighting Muslims, but the issue is not easy, we faced a similar crisis with the terrorists in Britain as saying.

He stressed that the battle is not between Islam and Christianity, but against Muslims and Christians together by groups that believe in terrorism and the overthrow of the established regulations.

House and Great Arab extremists working against their country from abroad, Blair said : that the majority of Muslims in Britain are committed, whatever the nationality law and have made great contributions to British society, and we have a desire to deportation.

And Blair said he disagreed with Bush on many things, but agreed to the basic issues such as the disposal of Saddam and the Iraqi elections.

And it is the view of what is happening in Iraq a mistake, but want to make things complex and difficult, and asking us to leave because Iraq lives difficult times, and I do not see any relationship between the two, but we aim to protect innocent people from criminals.

The Tribes of Iraq: America's New Allies - Newsweek The War in Iraq - MSNBC.com

By Melinda Liu
Newsweek
June 4, 2007 issue - Pungent smoke floats through the chandeliers of the tribal chief's reception room. At his home in Ramadi, capital of Anbar province and a onetime Iraqi insurgent stronghold, Sheik Shakir Saoud Aasi is enjoying after-dinner cigars with his guest of honor, battalion commander Lt. Col. Craig Kozeniesky of the 2/5 Marines. Around the room, Marines and Iraqi tribesmen and police are sitting together, swapping jokes and stories. Some of these Iraqis were probably shooting at Americans less than a year ago. Now they and the Marines are fighting side by side against Al Qaeda. "We are not just friends but also brothers," the sheik tells Kozeniesky. "This is a new beginning for both of us." Kozeniesky can only agree: "Things have changed dramatically." A 5-year-old Iraqi boy in traditional robes and headdress is racing around the room and vaulting into U.S. troops' laps. What does he want to be when he grows up? He proudly announces: "American general named Steve!"
The Pentagon is praying that its new allies will reconfigure the war. The success of the Ramadi experiment has given rise to hopes that the model can be applied elsewhere in Iraq. A year ago insurgents were launching nearly 30 attacks a day in the city; now the daily average is less than one. Anbar province as a whole is showing similar improvements. Brig. Gen. John R. Allen, deputy commanding general of the Second Marine Expeditionary Force in Anbar and a tribal-affairs expert, describes the province as "a laboratory for counterinsurgency." From roughly 500 attacks a week, the rate has sunk to barely a third of that figure. Weapons-cache discoveries, based largely on tips from sympathetic Iraqis in Ramadi, have skyrocketed nearly 190 percent. The fledgling local police force could muster only 20 recruits a year ago; today, with local sheiks encouraging tribe members to sign up, it has 8,000.
But even as the Americans rejoice in Ramadi's transformation, they worry that it may not last. Some townspeople are already losing patience as they seek Baghdad's help in rebuilding their community. At the same time, the Shia-dominated central government in Baghdad is in no hurry to do favors for Anbar's overwhelmingly Sunni population. Col. John Charlton, commander of the nearly 6,000 U.S. troops in central Anbar, warns of political trouble ahead if reconstruction falters. "Now that the shooting's stopped, people's expectations have risen wildly," Charlton says. "They want electricity back. They want things fixed now. The question is, can the government step up and deliver the goods?" The danger is that the government will allow Ramadi to languish while America's newfound allies drift back into the jihadists' orbit.
The insurgents are in retreat now, thanks largely to traditional tribal leaders who began trying to organize themselves in late 2005. The radicals of Al Qaeda in Iraq, who were led at the time by the murderous Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, "went after them with a vengeance," says General Allen. "It was very bloody and very ugly." Late last year local sheiks—most of whom had by this point lost family members to the killings—formed a group they called Anbar Awakening. Their leader, Sheik Abdul Sattar Abu Rishah, had lost three brothers and his father to insurgent attacks. The sheiks ordered their followers to assist the Americans against the jihadists—and among Iraq's tribesmen even today, the sheik is the law.
After the Awakening's sheiks began urging their followers to join the police, enlistments soared. The quick drop in attacks would seem to indicate that many of the newly minted cops were once part of the insurgency. While declining to take a public stand on a nationwide amnesty, the Americans aren't asking too many questions. The names of new recruits are checked against a list of previously detained insurgents, but most background checks are left to the sheiks. "In every counterinsurgency, one of the indicators ultimately of some level of success [was] that the people who fought you decided not to fight you anymore," says General Allen. "We're not naive," says Colonel Charlton. "Some police could've been insurgents at this time last year. But the sheiks have changed their fundamental understanding of who the threat is—and the threat is Al Qaeda."
All 23 of the major tribes in and around Ramadi have joined the Awakening, according to Abdul Sattar's elder brother, Sheik Ahmed Abu Rishah, who claims that more than 1 million of Anbar's 1.3 million people support the Awakening—"and it's spreading to other parts of Iraq." Last week the Awakening even sent envoys to Sadr City to meet with followers of the militant Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The two men share some common objectives. Both present themselves as Iraqi nationalists who do not favor a federalist solution to the country's sectarian problems, and both are eager for provincial elections.
As Abdul Sattar's influence among ordinary Iraqis grows, his political ambitions are rising as well. Most of Anbar's tribes boycotted previous Iraqi elections, giving them little voice in the political process as it unfolds in Baghdad. "We have to become part of decision making," says Ahmed Abu Rishah. "Central-government support is taking forever" to reach the newly liberated people of Ramadi, he says.
A ride through the ravaged city shows how desperately needed that support is. Our convoy rolls down an avenue the Americans call Route Michigan. Until a few months ago the road was lined with IEDs. On most days now, potholes are the main hazard. Still, the insurgents haven't been totally eradicated. At an intersection near what soldiers call the "White Apartments Market," a massive truck-bomb explosion on Good Friday killed a dozen people. Most of the rubble has been hauled away, but a gutted apartment building, much of its façade blown off, marks the scene. Lying nearby are the rusting, twisted remains of a large chlorine tank—the insurgents' way of turningordinary truck bombs into chemical weapons. As we pass the city's destroyed train station, Colonel Charlton remarks on the city's "World War II-style destruction." Soldiers clearing away the rubble found the corpses of Iraqis who had been executed by insurgents and dumped in the ruins.

Residents are finally venturing into the streets, trying to resume some semblance of normal life. Just off a main artery—Central Street, the Americans call it—Mazen Fouzi Khalaf is hacking huge chunks of mutton from sheep carcasses hanging on hooks outside his relocated butcher shop. He moved here last year, after his original place was badly damaged in the fighting. Townspeople go out of their way on foot and bicycle, even under the blazing noonday sun, to buy fresh meat from him. "I get 50 or 60 customers a day, but business would be even better in my other shop," says Khalaf. "I want to go back there; I'm getting impatient and angry." To the U.S. military's promises that his old market will be rebuilt, he answers with a grunt: "I've already waited a long time."
The sight of him being interviewed soon draws a crowd. What is your biggest worry? Everyone tries to answer at once. "Water!" shouts a man in a flowing white Arab robe. Most of the city was without water for three days recently, after an IED blast destroyeda key water main. "We need electricity," a white-haired man declares in immaculate English. A policeman chimes in from his checkpoint right next door: "You think you have problems? I've been working for four months as a policeman, and all I've gotten so far is $100 and this badge." He shows everyone a card identifying him as a member of the district security force. It's the equivalent of a "neighborhood watch" group, although the Americans want to upgrade members to full police status as soon as the Ministry of Interior in Baghdad agrees. Are the police in Ramadi doing a good job? "Yes! Yes, we need them!" everyone exclaims. "We have some security at last!"
The trouble is, the Americans and the Baghdad government can hardly keep up with training, equipping and paying the massive influx of recruits. Most newcomers start off as unpaid provisional local security personnel. They may receive contributions of food and small sums of cash from the sheiks that encouraged them to enlist in the first place. But that raises its own set of problems: the payments tend to blur the line between police and the tribal militias the sheiks also maintain.
Not that Ramadi's regular police have it much better. Early last week the crumbling police station in the Tameem neighborhood was packed with cops picking up their monthly pay. The money had finally arrived, a week and a half late. Parts of the building are unusable, having been destroyed long ago in insurgent attacks. A former bathroom has been turned into a makeshift entrance, a squat toilet still in the floor. In one of the better offices, an outer wall is crisscrossed with fissures where the rain blows in horizontally during the wet season. "We don't get anything from the government; the Americans give us everything," complains one cop. "Last year the Americans were our biggest enemies, and yet now they're how we get what we need."
Under heavy U.S. pressure to show more progress toward national reconciliation, last week Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki urged every Iraqi province to set up its own "salvation council," following the Awakening's example. But Ramadi's success may not travel well. The tribes in and around that city are unusually homogenous and traditional compared not only with Baghdad but even with other Anbar cities suchas Fallujah, where religious concerns outweigh tribal ties and security remains patchy. In mixed cities like Baghdad, tribal loyalties are even weaker, and the potential for clashes with sectarian militias greater.
Then there's the question of how strong a foundation the tribes are to build on. After the disastrous invasion of Kuwait in 1990-91, Saddam Hussein also used the tribes to reinforce his grip on power. He strengthened some sheiks, paid many, killed others and when necessary appointed bogus sheiks to do his bidding. The technique worked so well, even among the Shia tribes in the south, that Saddam could count on them through the 1990s to patrol the Iranian border, says Amatzia Baram, an Iraq expert at the University of Haifa. But it was also a recipe for corruption.
Like Saddam, though, the Americans may have little choice. "Let the sheiks be spokesmen for their tribes," says Baram: "'Tell me, what does your community need? A school? A clinic? A well? A power generator?' And deliver on that, but make it clear that in return, the sheik needs to work for peace in his territory. That may not be some ideologue's dream of a modern state, but it's how Iraqi society works." In a war where success is so rare, no one can be too fussy.

BAGHDAD - Adel Mahdi life-28/05/07 / /

تعاني فنـــادق بغداد مشاكل، جعلت هذا القــطاع الحيوي يتراجع على نحو يعتبر ســابقة، فأكثر من 500 فندق، تكاد تكون خاوية من النزلاء منذ اكثر من عامين، في ظل تصاعد العنف واضطراب الحـــياة في هذه المدينة التي كانت تفـــخر بتوافد زوارها من كل حدب وصوب، حتى في أيام الحصار الذي تعرض له العراق منذ عام 1991 ولغاية سقوط نظام صدّام حسين في عام 2003.

Baghdad hotel experiencing problems, made this vital sector fell as a precedent, and more than 500 hotel, almost empty of inmates more than two years ago, in light of the escalation of violence and disruption of life in this city, which was proud of the influx of visitors from all over the world, even in the days of the blockade against Iraq since 1991 until the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003.

وشهد القطاع تراجعاً مستمراً، دفع بقسم كبير من أصحاب الفنادق إلى مغادرة العراق هاربين من القتل والخطف، في ظروف غياب العوائد المالية وتزايد تكاليف التشغيل التي فاقمت من خسارتهم.

The sector witnessed a sustained decline, pay a large section of hotel owners to leave Iraq fugitives from murder and kidnapping, in the circumstances of the absence of financial returns and increasing operating costs that exacerbated the loss.

وسارع أياد العــــزاوي، صاحب «فنــــدق الرابــــية» الذي يقع وســــط بغداد، إلى إغلاق فـــندقه بعد ان استنفد كل الوسائل لتشغيله بسبب الوضع الأمني الصعب وانقـــطاع الكهرباء وارتفاع أســعار الوقود، لافتاً إلى ان كلفة الوقـــود التي يحتاجها باتت عالية جداً ولــيس في استطاعة أي صاحب مرفق سياحي تحمّلها.

Lest Iyad Al-Azzawi, the «Hotel Hillock» which is the center of Baghdad, close to his hotel after having exhausted all means of operation because of the difficult security situation, electricity blackouts and rising fuel prices, pointing out that the cost of fuel needed by the now very high and not in any owner can afford a tourist facility.

وتؤكد أوســــاط «هــيئة السياحة الحكومية» العراقية أن الظروف الحالية التي يمر بها قطاع الفنادق «صعبة جداً» ومعوقاتها متعددة الجوانب، إلا ان أهمها الوضع الأمني وشحّ الكهرباء والكلفة العالية للوقود، الأمر الذي جعل استمرار عمل هذا القطاع صعباً.

The circles «Tourism Authority government» that the Iraqi current conditions experienced by the hotel sector «very difficult» disadvantages and manifold, but the most important security situation, scarcity of electricity and the high cost of fuel, which made continuation of the work of this sector difficult.

وتضيف ان «فندق المنصور» يستهلك سنوياً ما يعادل 600 مليون دينار عراقي (477 ألف دولار)، نفقات أمن وشراء وقود، وكذلك الحال بالنسبة إلى «فندق بابل» الذي يســــتهـــلك ما يعادل 420 مليون دينار سنوياً وهــــذه الأرقام تبيّن جانباً مهماً من المشــــكلة التي يرزح تحــــت وطـــأتها القطاع والمرافق السياحية المختلفة، والتي يصعب معالجتها بمعزل عن حل شامل للحالة الأمنية والاقتصادية في العراق.

She adds, «Al-Mansour Hotel» consumed annually, the equivalent of 600 million Iraqi dinars (477 thousand dollars), security expenses and the purchase of fuel, as well as the case of the «Hotel Babylon» which consumes the equivalent of 420 million dinars annually, and these figures show an important aspect of the problem that weighed under which the private and various tourist facilities, , which can not be handled separately from a comprehensive solution to the security and economic situation in Iraq.

ويرى المهـــندس صادق محمود، وهو مستثمر مقيم في عمّان، ان تداعيات هذا الوضع الصعب على القــــطاع «كبيرة» ولعل أصعبها هروب رؤوس الأمـــوال الوطنية إلى خارج العراق،

My sincere Engineer Mahmoud, an investor resident in Amman, the repercussions of this difficult situation on the private «significant» Perhaps the most difficult national capital flight out of Iraq,

ولفت إلى ان عودة العافية إلى هذا القطاع ليست مستحيلة إذا توفرت الــــشروط اللازمة التي تتيح استثمار مبالغ كبيرة فيه من جديد، وقال أيضاً ان عدداً من المستثمرين تدعمهم مصارف وشركات قابضة ينوون اســـتثمار اكثر من 200 مليون دولار في القطاع كمرحلة أولى، وانهم ينتــــظرون استتباب الأمن لبدء الخطوات الأولى التي تتضمن اولاً تـــأهيل فنـــادق قائمة وتوفير مستلزمات عملها من جديد، بالإضافة إلى بناء عدد من الفنادق والموتيلات في بغداد وفي إقليم كردستان.

He pointed out that the return of vigor to this sector is not impossible if the necessary conditions to allow investing substantial sums it again, and also said that a number of investors backed by banks and holding companies intend to invest more than $ 200 million in the first stage, they are waiting for security to begin the first steps include first qualifying hotels and provide a list of the new work requirements, in addition to building a number of hotels and motels in Baghdad and Kurdistan.
