President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce calls for the financial assets frozen


Called for expediting the approval of the financial budget for the year 2010


The Chairman of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Abdul Razzaq Zuhairi the Iraqi government to release frozen funds of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce because of the urgent need of Chambers of Commerce have to engage in economic and commercial activities


He said during a press statement that this issue was proposed at a meeting with the Minister of State for Civil Society Affairs, where it was approaching the Minister the need to solve this problem and not to keep the situation you've made it because the EU urgently needs the money, with the minister showed his support for these demands, saying that problem to be solved.


He Zuhairi As for private sector involvement in government committees Union has held extensive discussions in this regard with the number of government agencies, we demand that the Iraqi parliament to speed up the approval of the financial budget for the year 2010 because of its very positive impact in stimulating the economic situation in Iraq and to contribute in raising the level of activity trade in particular, and activation of development plans which are in favor of rehabilitating the country's infrastructure and create jobs for the unemployed and implementation of projects approved by the ministries and provincial councils in general.


He said the past years have witnessed considerable delays in the approval of the financial budget, which impacted negatively on the Iraqi economy, which always comes too late for validation and approval, specifically in the fourth month of each year to begin the executive bodies of work in those projects, after a month or two, which means the limited time available to complete projects and not to complete those projects and recycling amounts for the budget year to the next and so on, which led to a financial surplus in some provinces due to non-payment of financial allocations for projects and this would confuse the situation and economic development in the country.


The hopeful look forward to next year 2010 to be the year of optimism, love, and pay the pace of everyone, especially with the passage of the election law, which generates the convictions of the members of Parliament need to approve the financial budget in a timely manner without delay to serve the interests of all, an appeal not by the slice Iraqi traders but all citizens who will implement projects in a timely manner is great benefit to them, as well as concern for the dimension of the process of economic differences and political disputes and partisan and factional.


He stressed that the Iraqi economy Zuhairi still attached to the State, which has a large number of companies and factories as well as the presence of industrial facilities owned by the private sector, but always refers to the fact that this sector is vital and important role to hang still in Iraq because the current laws and legislation to Atkhaddmh dramatically, marketing is not good and not at the level of export and without ambition and goods on the market, mostly imported, and in that great damage to the national economy and the local production capacity because production costs are high compared to other neighboring countries, where the problem lies in the provision of electric power, which is one of the cheapest energy needed to run the labs and production lines, as there is no longer available capacity in the present situation and over for years to come, as well as high fuel prices, especially diesel (kerosene) is not necessary in the operation of large plants and factories, where the price of a barrel at about (130) thousand dinars, hence the factory says that is marketing products in the end he will see that prices are higher than Balmistordp what led to the reluctance of many owners of factories and shut down and emigration, or resort to another job, or the owners of capital and Iraqi industrialists to open factories in the neighboring countries and export of goods produced to Iraq, which is a big problem We hope the Iraqi government to pay attention to it seriously and work to find solutions to them as soon as possible and to engage in serious discussions with the bodies of the industrial and agricultural development of what would impact positively on the process of economic and trade ties.


Zuhairi called to activate the role of the Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control, which is one of the discreet and efficient services not only in Iraq but also in the region, however, is required provisions of border and customs tariffs on goods entering Iraq, an act by laboratory tests to demonstrate the validity before entering domestic markets, and this will be achieved only with applicable law and strict controls over the traders and importers and to refer offenders to justice.
