Adel Sobhi
Kut - (Voices of Iraq)
Proliferated in recent times in different towns and villages Wasit governorate new phenomenon of business transactions known as "Alhfti", but that many experts and spe******ts warned of the dire consequences of dealing with this phenomenon.
Alhfti and is the title of the commercial dealings of a particular kind began to emerge in most towns in the province of Wasit, especially cities in terms of the North West Province after it became known that this deal in the areas adjacent to the border, namely in the areas located to the south and south-east of Babylon province.

And this phenomenon Abu Zubaydeh toxicity of the town north-west of Kut News Agency (Voices of Iraq) alone "since we heard no more about that in no way a new trade deal appeared in the neighboring cities dubbed Alhfti include buying things for amounts ranging between three to six weaken the real price that the buyer pays this price after some time had up to four or five or six months or more. "

"

He added, "this phenomenon and found great acceptance, especially when owners fairs buying and selling cars and then moved on to other business dealings and found to boom in the rural and urban areas alike."
He pointed out that "the sale of livestock, grain and crops are way Alhfti, then withdrew it on the sale of residential plots and houses, agricultural and construction materials and even contracting."
Abu Sumaya said "the beginning with this method in dealings when you sell a car price five million and four hundred thousand dinars has been agreed with the buyer who promised me a sum of 16 million dinars that amount after receiving three months."

"

He added : "The matter between myself and the buyer without the knowledge of any other party was just talk without the presence of any guarantees - knowledge in one another."
He pointed out that he recognizes the amount perfect in the schedule.
He said that "this method of dealing encouraged by the repeated situation with another person, this time I asked him to check and liberates me to do so and that it is fully in accordance with the agreement."
Abu Sumaya said he does not know how to get the buyer the difference in price, but the important "I got a full insurance."

"

In the same context, Muhammad (farmer from hand Shahimih affiliated administratively to eliminate Suwayrah north-west of Kut, about 130 km asked to remain anonymous, fully (l) Voices of Iraq) "dealt a Alhfti compelled where I sell before maturity of the wheat crop on an area of ten dunums and the price multiplier receiving that amount at the end of July next July. "

"

He explained that the sale was on this way, "according to the estimates of production agreed upon by the buyer with a grain dealers in the city."

"

Muhammad did not hide his concern that this deal but said that the "buyer gave me a check the amount agreed upon is what makes me a guarantee."
However, the method Alhfti seemed that the victims have also where Mr. (t. K) engineer told (Voices of Iraq) that "I have a story with Alhfti painful."
He added, "signed in the nets after the buyer sold a car called locally (duck) was real ones (90 paper) As is common in local naming any amount of nine thousand dollars."
"He said "we have agreed to give me (200 paper) any Twenty thousand dollars after three months."
He added that "persons known and desired that liberates me check amount."
He said, "the buyer did not fulfill its promise and went to the time the month has received the amount thereof."
He added that "the issue is a Acharia still procrastinating buyer and that he offered to give me any notebooks one (ten thousand dollars) and the postponement of the remaining amount for a month and a half, but I refused to do so and if the full amount of it is my right."

"

"

As Salah Hamid, a government official told (Voices of Iraq), "we hear phenomenon Alhfti or sale Balhufti and its financial revenues to the seller who receives the money multiplier several times the price of the need to sell but now we do not know how to do it."

He added, "who deal Balhufti Kano several months ago about working in secret, but today became acting clearly and in front of everybody."
He pointed out that "in any place we find traders Alhfti, understanding of people who we know are in full knowledge of our trust them, and most of them are sitting in a cafe or in this business or in an exhibition for selling cars or talk among themselves competing for the purchase of a commodity whatsoever, do not have a small book-coded by the buying and selling and some checks with them and others do not matter. "
He said that "the majority of sales are made through mutual understanding between buyer and seller even without the need of the presence of witnesses and so far things are going well we have not heard that there were problems and got shots regularly, as we hear."
But Hamid expressed fears of widening this phenomenon and said that "it is likely to have disastrous consequences if not eradicated by the state."

"

Hamid said that "the phenomenon is such Alhfti (terrorism Commercial), which is aimed at people, but a new guise."

For his part, Mr. Muthanna Hassan Mahdi is a social researcher and historian, "we do not find the impact or significance of the meaning of the word in every dictionary Alhfti not in the mayor Sahah Aumenagd Awallalom Language and Literature."

He added, "may be meaningless to say that it came from that person as toddler HVT money and fled, taking any and fled, taking advantage of the carelessness or ignorance."

He added, "we hear from our forefathers repeatedly while chanting Alhfti They show them that the person does not possess anything he does not lie or exaggerate or lying in that possesses such and such."

"

He warned at the same time "to deal according to this new method."

In the same context criticized university professor, an economist, who asked for anonymity, dealing Balhufti told (Voices of Iraq) that "the phenomenon of the most dangerous phenomena which now threatens the Iraqi economy at the present time."
He added, "should be to support the phenomenon of different parties want to destroy what is left of the country's economy, or that it wants to create safe areas in the fighting between dealers this phenomenon."

He said that "there are problems inevitably get between the seller and buyer, how can purchase needed five or six times the price even if payment after a period of time."

He stressed the importance of the government to take swift action to eliminate these suspicious transactions, said that "the people who deal Balhufti halt their dealings immediately and only the fate loss."

PM Barzani inaugurates foundations of five-star hotel complex

Erbil, Kurdistan - Iraq (KRG.org) - In response to terrorism, Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani affirmed yesterday that the people and government will not be deterred from rebuilding the Kurdistan Region. At a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a five-star luxury hotel complex, the Prime Minister said, "Projects such as this are our response to the destructive activities of terrorists. Whatever they do, they cannot stop our progress." {snip..}

The Park Hotel is being financed by investors through the Elegan Group and will be managed by Kempinski Hotels, a European company with 100 hotels and a 110-year history. Prime Minister Barzani said The Park Kempinski Hotel is one of the first major foreign investment projects in the Kurdistan Region.
......
Fortunately, we have the wealth that flows beneath our feet. Oil and gas will contribute to our financial security. We believe that decentralisation of oil and gas management in accordance with a federal system will generate higher benefits to be equitably shared by all Iraqis. We cannot, and must not, ever forget the extraordinary abuse we have suffered from excessive centralisation of political and economic power.

We are committed to a unified, federal, pluralistic, and democratic Iraq. We have struggled and supported the drafting and approval of the constitution that promotes and protects the peaceful interests of all Iraqis in every corner of the country. We are committed to abide by the constitution, on which our cooperation and collaboration is firmly based.

Apart from our oil and gas wealth, we also have wealth on our fertile land and in our streams and rivers that will contribute to our food security. We also have good productive land and good water resources. Our land has been a breadbasket for Iraq. Agriculture began some 8,000 years ago in Kurdistan.

After decades of decline through neglect and destruction by the former regime, we are now beginning to realize our agricultural potential. Our main market will be the rest of Iraq, just as we are a market for fresh foods from the rest of the country. The Kurdistan Region will contribute to the food security of the country.

But our real wealth is our people and their diversity, with their education and skills, their vigilance and their hard work in building a strong and stable country.

Earlier this week we completed the first year of a unified KRG. We have progressed in working together to serve our people, and we are determined to proceed with this cooperative attitude and policy. ....

Kurdistan is open for promoting investment and participation of the private sector. This is already being well demonstrated by the broad involvement and extensive investments of our neighbours who provide a wide range of goods and services, including professional construction services.

We are now moving to a new level in our growth and economic development in meeting our people’s needs and aspirations. Today we break ground for a facility by one of the world’s leading companies in the hospitality industry. Kempinski Hotels will construct a hotel that will meet the highest international standards. This hotel will serve our growth and development.

This hotel is anticipated to create hundreds of new, important jobs for our people. We are a hospitable people.

This project is the most serious foreign investment project in the Kurdistan Region. This hotel is a partnership between the private and public sectors. Elegan Group is the investor, Kempinski will manage the hotel, and the KRG is playing a major role with the provision of land and support services to make this project a reality. This project demonstrates and proves that the KRG supports this kind of investment. We look forward to a long, productive relationship with Kempinski Hotels. Their success will be our success. ....
