Economic : Substantive explanation for the phenomenon of inflation in the economy Iraqi-1 -
D. Falah behind spring *
* Faculty of Economics / University of Omar Mukhtar
Require objectivity in the economic analysis of the phenomenon of inflation in Iraq as a complex phenomenon does not contribute to the formation of only one factor such as the increase in the prices of the recent increase in derivatives or cash, but should be linked to several factors, cash and real, This phenomenon is not only stems from increases in the quantity of money as it was under the previous regime.
But as a result of imbalances in the productive sector real, as the Iraqi economy suffers from structural imbalances and profound deterioration in the productivity of the commodity sectors, particularly agriculture, manufacturing and a rise in unemployment rates. Iraq did not know prior to the 1970s, the last decade of any kind of inflation, have suffered all kinds, including the most destructive, when plagued during the period (1968-2003) the government is corrupt and dictatorial, lacked vision and the will to achieve economic development, remained Authority operates without a clear economic policies, The missed opportunity provided by the resources of oil rents achieved in Iraq during the 1970s and 1980s of the last century, , failed to invest those resources in finding sources of economic power, political, social and new actors for the achievement of sustainable development and the promotion of democracy and social justice. As far as the monetary policy of the government of those they had lacked the principle of rationalization, which provides that the achievement of price stability requires a the equality between the annual rate of the quantity of money and the annual rate of the gross domestic product. they rushed towards a steady increase in the money supply, to address the ongoing increases in the rates of spending on wars and military and security activities without a corresponding reform of any serious attention imbalance in the production structure and a substantial increase in non-oil commodity product, The result of such a policy is the continued increase in inflation rates.
If we compare the rate of growth in the quantity of money in circulation rate of growth in gross domestic product will have seen us immediately sharp imbalance between them. During the period 1970-1974, the amount of money grew at an annual rate of (20%), GDP grew (in constant prices of 1975, an annual growth rate of (12%), This payment of the annual growth rate of inflation to rise (8%), during the period 1975 - 1980 GDP grew (in constant prices of 1975, an annual growth rate of (9%), while grown quantity of money at an annual rate of (29%), raising the annual growth rate of inflation to rise (20%), during the period 1980 - 1985 Sadja l GDP rate of growth was negative (-8%), while the amount of money grew at an annual rate of (20%) and this led the inflation rate to rise at an annual rate of (28%) and this continued upward trend in the quantity of money and inflation rates for the downward trend in the rate of growth in gross domestic product during acknowledged that subsequent tires, It reached its peak during the period of worsening economic blockade retreat when the growth rate in GDP of up to (-28%) compared to the amount of money that went up at an annual rate of (193%) burst rate of inflation up to (221%). and those figures increases in the rates of inflation has been compounded by the large increase in the rates of a the military spending after the war with Iran in the year 1980, that left a direct impact on the general movement of prices in the Iraqi economy. those figures also show that the serious imbalance has been created as a result of the widening gap between the quantity of money and volume of real GDP, this imbalance is due to the presence of purchasing power in the market is offset by domestic production of goods and services, It represents the surplus of demand would push prices upward. overall demand in the forces of the Iraqi economy has been increasing annually, on average, more than (50%) of the real volume of goods and services produced by a local production in addition to what was imported from abroad. however, the increase in aggregate demand caused stagflation pressure led to a Rtvae at high prices reflected widespread black market and the disappearance of a large part of the commodity markets, It is natural that this situation is exacerbated after the year 1990 as a result of the economic blockade and the government had resorted to the use of the policy of monetizing debt (printing money at high rates to cover the deficit in its budget), where this has led to significant increases in the surplus of aggregate demand to supply the commodity to the compound annual growth rate for this surplus of about (Agenda No. 120% (1) the rate of growth in the quantity of money and GDP and the inflation rate in Iraq for the period (1970-2002) and the result was the economic implications of those perils enter the Iraqi economy in a state of economic stagnation and long-term outcome of the worst kinds of sectoral imbalance, and deepened during the absence of proportionality between the sectors, which represent the sources of supply of the domestic commodity sectors, which represents the tributaries of domestic demand to be fed with oil rents in particular the activities of security and intelligence and the defense has witnessed Iraq during that era black history from the worst kinds of economic imbalances. b an unjust exploitation of the oil wealth and public resources to be spent on wars and the security and military activities, The case almost total neglect of the development process and economic reform process.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A nervous normality returned to Iraq's capital on Sunday after a 24-hour curfew imposed after U.S. troops arrested a top politician's bodyguard suspected of a plot to bomb the heavily fortified government compound.

The curfew was lifted at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) and traffic converged on central Baghdad's busy streets as shops and businesses re-opened for the start of the full working week.

Though there is a daily overnight curfew and cars are banned during weekly prayers on Fridays, Saturday's blanket ban on all movement, even on foot, was unusually severe and disrupted the social life normally associated with the holy month of Ramadan.

Just west of Baghdad, in the minority Sunni stronghold of Falluja, a car bomb killed four people and wounded six in a busy vegetable market, police said.

On Friday, U.S. troops arrested a security guard at the home of the leader of the main Sunni Arab political bloc, Adnan al-Dulaimi. They said the man planned suicide attacks in the government's "Green Zone" and may have had links to al Qaeda.

"The detained individual is suspected of involvement in the planning of a multi-vehicle suicide operation inside Baghdad's International Zone," the military said on Saturday.

A senior official in the Accordance Front named the arrested man as Khudhar Farhan and said he was in his mid-20s and had joined Dulaimi's security staff about a month ago. Dulaimi leads the Front, the largest Sunni bloc in parliament.

U.S. officials fear an increase in violence during Ramadan. Suicide bombings were at an all-time high during the first week.

NO OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

There was no official explanation for the curfew which emptied streets on Saturday but a political source said it was linked to security in the Green Zone that had been compromised. Another senior official said Baghdad feared large-scale unrest.

The 5-sq km (2-sq mile) riverside compound once occupied by Saddam Hussein is home to thousands of people, including most senior officials, parliament and the U.S. and British embassies.

In March, Iraq jailed several defense officials accused of a plot to infiltrate hundreds of al Qaeda fighters into the Zone's security force.

A surge in sectarian killings since February has been marked by dozens of corpses being found nearly every day dumped in the streets of Baghdad, bound, tortured and shot. Many are victims of tit-for-tat communal fighting.

One senior U.S. military official said this week police had allowed death squads to re-enter areas already cleared by U.S. forces in a seven-week-old crackdown in the capital.

Washington's ambassador to Iraq threatened to cut off funding for the Iraqi police if the government failed to punish police officials for torture and human rights violations.

Zalmay Khalilzad told the New York Times that U.S. officials were reviewing programs under a law that bans U.S. funding for armies and police forces that violate human rights.

BAGHDAD, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces are getting closer to al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Ayyub al-Masri and will get him soon, National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said.
