Economic : in the poll conducted by (morning) on the increases in staff salaries

Some believe the increase is necessary to cope with the troubles of life Baghdad Imad Principality The Iraqi economy suffers from the problem of insufficient demand, not inadequate supply and this inexplicable that the Iraqi markets filled with goods from different species and approval of related items, but the problem lies in the increase in prices can not (Iraqi family) to meet all their needs, Since the (Iraqi government) is the main sponsor for citizens, including a slice of staff has taken the decision Raising living standards by increasing staff salaries and the Ministry of Finance prepared the new peaceful applied at the beginning of the year (2007) and included increases of up to 60 by 40% of the nominal salary and have an impact on the utilitarian blocks (retired), and here things appear good, but the fear is that accompany such an increase, if applied on the scheduled date and the question Is maintain important Iraqi market on the prices of various commodities? Or the opposite will happen whether receive increases in the index chart of inflation, which is already in a remarkable rise, when this had to be told (morning) to conduct a survey on this subject with various segments of (Iraqi society), where we met Mr. (Mohamed Din al) teacher with the service (35) years and reached the limits of his salary (500) thousand dinars, and asked him what you mean this increase? speaking saying : prior to the issue of increasing the salaries to be reference to the phenomenon of the rise in market prices, which have become commercial Iraqi inherent to all goods and commodities, particularly imported and we do not see little of the goods in the Iraqi market has delivered this situation overshadows the Iraqi consumer and the other is that we suffer is the retreat of services (public) and private medical owing to the deteriorating security situation in the case of a citizen to the National Medical Services found high prices as an employee could not bear the burdens of those price rises for staff salaries has been on the scale of salary increases after the events of 2003 / September 4, and was the first staff but did not enjoy the this increase only for a few months after the incident, then started the Iraqi market by being progressive and sometimes abrupt and steep for a variety of reasons Everybody knows no room to mention that has absorbed price increases increase in the salary scales, In many cases, staff members with the average salary to the multiple financial problems, forcing them to work theme (cash advances) within the remedy temporary and limited to inadequate salary. He (Muhammad) that the proposed increase in staff salaries peace is undoubtedly yes, but remain good legitimate fears that accompanied those increases price rises again in the Iraqi market, which is already suffering from high prices in this area call stakeholders and the political decision, which is a reflection of economic reality to together the plethora of crises from its roots, which has caused the President of price rises and through the permanency of decisive action taken by the government to control the causes of the crisis and preventing and dealing with the phenomenon of administrative corruption rampant in the sectors of the state in general. Agricultural Engineer (Haidar Abdaljbar) spoke about the increase in salaries, saying : before this must first activate the real activity of the Iraqi economy, through the activity of the industrial sector, agriculture and who are the foundation pillar of the Iraqi economy, which we see today is the opposite where we see that all the joints Iraqi industry idle through (closed doors) to the factories and laboratories and the government sector only Does that have reached nearly prepared (30.000) lab and factory government and people of this closed and almost completely disrupt economic life of the facilities, thus opening the door to the flow of foreign goods, which plunged the Iraqi market, as well as the lack of quality, this situation combined with other factors, led to the (Iraqi capital flight) towards abroad, which weakened the value of (Iraqi dinar), therefore, I believe I can say that no economic feasibility of the salary increases if there were no treatments for the factors of the weakness of (the Iraqi economy) and the rise of the index graph of inflation, The agricultural sector, we see neglected completely and especially after the fall of the regime is no longer in the Principles of the government role in the revitalization of this vital sector and its lifetime has come to import most vegetables, for example (a tomato and onion) from the neighboring countries and this in itself constitutes a failure of the Iraqi economy completely and if it lasted this situation, the increases in staff salaries peace will be subject to the problems of price rises and inflation was rampant in the structure of the Iraqi economy. Economic stakeholders who had a vision in this matter was to address the theme (food security), which is the basis for the consumer and for the Iraqi to be the achievement of food security through the revitalization of the agricultural sector and not to rely entirely on imported agricultural goods to arrive at the price policy, which plays the role of a significant contribution to achieving substantial growth in the agriculture and food production Finally, we have to work on the integration of agricultural pricing policies with other pricing policies with the rest of fiscal and monetary policies and other treatments, and measures leading to an Iraqi economy will become solid increases for staff-impact player to improve living standards, and movement towards social welfare.

Economic : policies and strategies needed to support the flow of foreign direct investment

Muhannad spring The former Iraqi economic policy gives priority to the public sector, The focus on political issues and sectors that do not give the required production-oriented manufacturing and the production of military weapons, as well as allocating less time to solve economic problems accumulated, especially during the period of economic sanctions In the 1990s of the last century, with the postponement of any fundamental changes in the economic policy and institutional framework within which the rule of the political system in Iraq. another has to implement economic reform programs in Iraq. Have been some minor repairs, but on the whole, came as a reaction to the deteriorating economic conditions in the country. It can be said that failure to implement economic reform programs in Iraq due to the significant factors. first, is the focus on political issues, as mentioned above, second, the presence of oil, despite the cessation depend largely at the beginning of the 1990s, the main source of income has contributed directly or indirectly in the economic development process. The lack of implementation of economic reform programs, in addition to political factors, lack of access to investment flows to various kinds to the Iraqi economy. After considerable political change in 2003, which included a change in the political system in Iraq Governor, , attracted attention to the substance of economic change that will be political change. And at that the process of economic change in Iraq in the transition to a free-market system and the introduction of economic reform programs and to take the necessary measures to join the World Trade Organization and the construction of such fundamental changes in the Iraqi economy. This change requires reconsidering the many things that were unwanted or subject to severe restrictions. At the forefront of the issue of privatization and the role of foreign direct investment in economic development. In the past, Iraq. As is the case in most developing countries and the Arab, depended primarily on the activities of the public sector the engine of economic development and provide employment while giving secondary role limited to the private sector or to restrict its role in most cases. This has led to the expansion of the economic role of the State to include the issues of production, distribution and pricing, while shrinking the role of the private sector to a large extent. Due to the lack of efficiency of the public sector on one hand, , and helplessness on the other hand, as well as the special economic conditions experienced by the Iraqi economy during the 1980s and 1990s two and the beginning of the new millennium, the accumulation of domestic and external debt accumulated economic problems, In no longer be tolerated by the political transition following the fall of Iraq. The reform aims to increase the economic efficiency of the economic factors of production and economic diversification and expansion of the productive base instead of the heavy reliance on the oil and gas sector. As the production efficiency requires modern technical means and sophisticated production, management and conscious, There is a need to change the perception of the role played by foreign direct investment in the economy. consideration of the doubt to encourage and restrictions on the activities of the liberation of these activities. The above applies to the role of multinational corporations, which are the main source of investment flows and control of modern technology and advanced means of production, , which must be provided to increase the competitiveness of local products so that they can compete in global markets. In order to achieve the government policy to increase foreign direct investment objectives desired, it is necessary to be a part of the general policy of the State. Determining economic objectives of the State Assembly which determines the strategy needed, including the financial aspects necessary for the implementation of that strategy. This includes turn the state's policy towards foreign direct investment, both in terms of type or size or sectors, which should be invested in any of the priority sectors open to the flow of foreign direct investment. It should be noted that the policy of opening the door to foreign direct investment is not an end in itself but a means to achieve the objectives of economic unable local resources, whether financial, technical or administrative achieved. Since the policy of supporting the flow of foreign direct investment involving the cost of the national economy, it is necessary that the final result be positive, any return to the flow of foreign direct investment must be greater than the loss incurred by the public treasury of the State as a result of tax exemptions or customs and government support for the influx. In general, the State must determine whether the policies to attract foreign direct investment is the most appropriate policy to achieve the goals set. Moreover, the policy of the Iraqi government to attract foreign direct investment must be flexible according to the conditions of economic and financial and technical resources in the period, that would change if they changed all or some of these conditions. Every stage of economic objectives and tools to achieve these goals, If the aim example, the exploitation of natural resources available from the expertise and technical, It differs from that investment, which seeks behind the large market and the manufacturing example, Thus, the incentives and facilities provided must be in line with the objective to be achieved. In the case of exploitation of natural resources must be directed towards investment incentives that achieves the goal of economic, that is the policy of the State to support the flow of foreign direct investment must focus on the state's priorities and economic development and give priority to incentives and facilities for the kind of investment that achieves these objectives at minimum cost. In addition, the successful policy to attract foreign direct investment are those that focus not only on financial incentives granted by the State to this investment, but but also on the comparative advantages enjoyed by the national economy, The definition of these privileges, through the provision of information and statistical data minute. So it would not be the real motive for the foreign investor is benefiting from the advantages and facilities financial, monetary and otherwise, but benefiting from the exploitation of such comparative advantage, This achieves the purpose of attracting foreign direct investment in the achievement of the Millennium development of the country.
