Economic : the impact of privatization policies in operation
24.03.07
Habib Assadi
According to Douglas North, in a lecture to accept the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 1993 : (The transfer of the political and economic official of the western market economies to the successful countries of the third world and Eastern European countries is not a sufficient condition for good economic performance Privatization is not a panacea to solve the problems of low economic performance.
In Iraq, is the trend towards privatization in earnest, especially after the formation of (the privatization) in July 2004 and recreated again by the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Planning and Development Cooperation and the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Finance and Minister of Trade, where given the broad powers of a new investment law, and a clear plan of action The thought of economic reform and privatization of state enterprises in all sectors in the national strategic development towards a market economy and enhance the role of the private sector.
The Commission has already started discussions with experts of the World Bank and the International Development Enterprise and the Altekhasih Jordanian, and access to the experiences of other countries in this area, as well as an examination of the Iraqi experiment during the 1980s and 1990s.
It may be recalled that - here - that Iraq is counterproductive have experienced the nationalization of some private sector projects in 1964 and that experience worthy of study to detect positive and negative aspects in their local, Arab and international levels.
In light of the current conditions that will be motivated on the next five years at least, we have enough time to deliberate decision-making away from influences, and our long experience with the Iraqi private sector makes structured projects (public sector), it does not mean shaking hands and delivered to the Iraqi private sector or investment Like foreign oil companies prior to revive our economy, as the diversity of the sources of wealth open the doors of Iraqi participation of the State in a lot of economic activities vision of a mature and far-reaching us in the mixed good experience can be developed to accommodate the additional work, as far as the effects of privatization on the operation of the labor force and unemployment situation broad suffered by the Iraqi citizen has not been developed proposals and solutions successful despite the wide network of social protection, social welfare, unemployment insurance and direct operation by official bodies or the employment and vocational training in its courses continued, the effects of those trends multiple points can be summarized as follows :
Loss of jobs immediately, in view of the need for capital-intensive, which causes decrease the demand for manpower.
Stop operation of the new labor force.
The emergence of bargaining power of trade unions and political problems and the emergence of a professional appeal with the Department of privatization and government administration.
The limited impact on the rest of the economy in the near term, and could use the growth of the long-term view to achieve profitability.
Further investment and the demand for labor and the result was split into two halves Altshaaib and create small projects and complementary addition techniques and modern production lines, as in the projects in the fields of poultry feed, or fertilizer industry in the fields of livestock or dairy industry in the fields of animal breeding.
The direct impact of privatization on feeding projects for projects such as processing of raw materials or semi-manufactured goods, as well as their impact on the consuming project for the production of enterprises privatized because of the slow restoration of production or different pricing policies, or alternative marketing outlets.
In Iraq leads the availability of the required capital and government spending on public sector projects that are no longer capable of self-financing, and accounts cost compared to the accounts of profits and the economic feasibility of maintaining the projects and the establishment of new projects and seminars career excess unemployment is convincing and administrative bureaucracy, laws and regulations related to bureaucracy and corruption killer administrative and non-establishment of security and order, etc., to the time in the trend towards privatization, especially the labor force and raw materials and capital available in Iraq, and as a result the demilitarization of our vision of unilateral policies result inclusiveness and flexibility of the study result western media, (the) American capitalism promised, it will lead us inevitably to the correct decision for the good of the homeland and its people.

Kurds Near Agreement with 15 Oil Companies
Minister Wants Firms to Locate Iraq HQs in Kurdistan
Posted 9 hr. 57 min. ago
Employees of the joint Turkish Genel Enerji and Canadian ADDAX drilling installation in Taq Taq, 75 km from Irbil, in May 2006.Kurdish authorities are nearing agreement with over a dozen foreign oil companies, Al Jazeera Net reports in Arabic.
The energy minister of the autonomous Kurdish regional administration, Ashti Hawrami, said that the region is heading towards agreement with 15 oil companies, with the goal of increasing investment in the Kurdish region’s oil sector.
Hawrami said that he hoped that the companies would headquarter their Iraqi operations in Kurdistan, according to the news agency.
International oil companies have expressed eagerness to tap Iraq's vast oil reserves, but also have voiced reservations over the poor security situation in the country. Kurdish authorites are angling to exploit their region's energy reserves and relative stability to develop the autonomous area into Iraq's oil hub.
Kurdish authorities are proceeding with negotiations with foreign oil concerns in the absence of a national oil law that would regulate such interactions.
No agreement has been reached as yet on the controversial draft oil law, presented last month to the Iraqi parliament.
Al–Jazeera notes that 61 oil experts, among them former ministers and general directors, called last week upon the Parliament to reject the new measure, warning that “gaps” in the law could be exploited by foreign companies, at the expense of the national interest.
The law would devolve control over negotiations and contracts to Iraq’s provinces, subject to the review of a new federal agency. Revenues would be distributed on a per capita basis between all of Iraq’s provinces, via a mechanism to be determined in separate legislation.
Kurdish authorities have already entered into agreements with five foreign oil concerns, even in the absence of a national oil law. The Kurdish region drilled its first oil wells since the 2003 US invasion in February 2005.

Thans funwit. Great job! I just hope they are very clear about the requirements. Instructions that seems obvious to them may not be understandable to us. I'm sure it will be a while before all the kinks get worked out. However, I understand that this is already an established requirement for other countries to participate in their stock exchange.
