Taxes on businesses

And on the question about the need for Iraq to laws and new legislation for the implementation of this program and plan.
Zubaidi said : I think that all of our laws give us the power window to move the implementation of the ambitious plan that have been developed for 2007.

But reform mechanisms required by the agreement with the International Monetary Fund have negative effects on the social level?
To this question, the Minister of Finance that the International Monetary Fund seeks as far as possible that the budget not be consuming our oil money, but that the money Iraq consumes the volume of investment in operating funds because the consumption of oil money exhausts the budget and the burden of the citizens by the minister but he believes that the volume of investment funds push Iraq towards development and progress From this standpoint, the policy of the International Monetary refuses to be broken, not only the budget have any investment.

True support for the social protection network
He said : I am in the social International Monetary Fund noted that the Fund is to support the social safety net that we believe it is important to continue supporting and accordingly put in the principles of the policy in 2007 to support and increase real support for the social welfare system on which citizens below the poverty line, pointing out that the close relationship with the International Monetary Fund has enabled us to obtain the debt write-off.

Citizen support
Zubaidi spoke about the reform of the banking sector stressing his thoughts prior check this sector of loitering and failure in banking operations, pointing to its banks principals urging them to the need to develop a modern banking clear sophisticated able to support citizen who is also suffering from poor efficiency of potential material.

In the question of the (morning) as long as I am you, Mr. Minister, acknowledged the limited salaries citizens What is the vision-Zubaidi on improving the situation of living of its staff?
The minister said that the talk about living standards, is emotional and said I can not magically now increasing staff salaries, which eat inflation and a budget burden, because any increase in large amounts to cause significant harm to the budget of 2007.

But I was prepared I will move ahead towards supporting the investment funds so as to contribute to creating hundreds of thousands of jobs to armies of the unemployed during 2007.

He said : We will implement the strong investment plans for the regions, which amounted to two billion dollars and Snzidha next year, I heard I am pleased that some of the governorates in which more than 30 projects, I think we must create new job opportunities and I am not with the creation of jobs through employment in the state, but rather through private sector companies. And become better wages in the private sector than the public sector.

* Understand the context of your that the trend was towards a free economy and this is the general framework of the economic program of the government?
- Yes, he is also
And at last, he said : I want to solve the problems of staff salaries and I know that there are some staff were subjected to injustice in the career ladder because of the different applications of the ministries of this peace. The articles outlined (morning) and I am with them and I will do my best to unify the peace salaries, but we need time to unite.

The theme of retirees
Asked about the retirement law and the concerns of retirees
Zubaidi said that the retirement of the Transitional National Assembly have already mentioned the Ministry of Finance transition and there are gaps in it. I believe that this issue is long overdue and we are awaiting termination His first day began when the Ministry of Finance met with the Directorate General for retirement and asked to expedite the completion of the study and the preparation instructions in this regard.

The minister pointed out that the International Monetary Fund raised some issues on the retirement Vbacherna re-examine this law in order to overcome some of the gaps that have occurred which caused injustice in some of the staff who provide great services to Iraq and Iraqis.
He warned that the continued application of this law would constitute a heavy burden on the state budget, explaining that the volume of money being spent annually in the light of this law more than two billion dollars annually, and this is what can not be borne by the budget if we add them three billion dollars for importing oil derivatives and four billion dollars the ration card so that amounts to more than 10 billion dollars, and these funds are a financial burden, as I said before, and therefore an urgent need to study these things. This is what our students and the International Monetary Fund agreed to re-examine the pension law to ensure the right of the retired and to guarantee the right of the State alike.

Iraq's foreign debt
Turning to the Minister of Iraq's foreign debts amounting to 125 billion dollars, pointing to the completion of the write-off 80% of Iraq's debt in respect of Paris Club debt after deciding the issue of Russia where we negotiate with them, debt relief and unsettled order a reduction in the amount of 13 billion dollars to 800 million dollars.

He called Zubaidi the Iraqi press to reactivate its role in creating awareness of the insurance companies and the activation of the national insurance all their activities.

The minister said : trying to activate the role of life insurance companies, money, cars, fire, accidents, Mr. Minister striking example of the fires Alcheorgh where traders believe that their money got paid compensation, which demonstrated the awareness of the importance of some traders insurance. Therefore, we will support insurance companies and do their role in support of the citizens and the national economy, and insurance cultural phenomenon.

The statement said Mr. Zubaidi. The value of the Iraqi dinar is related to the monetary policy and the political responsibility of the Iraqi Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance responsible for fiscal policy.

Wow!!!

Look at all the good news for the PEOPLE of Iraq set forth in Mr. Zuhbaydi's statement!!!

This signifies to me the beginning of the endgame we and the Iraqui's hope for with regard to their future peace and prosperity.

Economics is indeed about charts and statistics and probabilities...but in the end is a social science. I am looking for a clear statement by the Iraqui governance of all the good which will follow for the Iraqi people - which can and will follow if they will agree to lessened violence as they settle sharp disagreements and tribal animosities...both recent and ancient.

If their government continues to sing this song (the economic factors are in place, or so close to it) - an endgame to my way of thinking - the Iraqi Shia and Sunni will follow along the Kurd's path.

Folks do do the right thing when they have the opportunity.

All i can say is
