    Baghdad today - Baghdad
    Today, Wednesday (August 30, 2023), the Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, stated that Iraq’s debts of more than $150 billion to the World Bank are “exaggerated” and unreal, while he reviewed Iraq’s debts as a whole in an attempt to explain the source of the figure that the bank talked about. international.

    Saleh told the official news agency, followed by “Baghdad Today,” that “the issue of the Iraqi public debt requires a professional distinction of its history and details, and not taking its numbers on their minds without a clear logical analysis. The internal public debt, which is approximately 71 trillion dinars, and which the government banking system still holds Those debts are in the form of government bonds and treasury transfers, when evaluated in foreign currency, it is estimated at about $54 billion, while the external debt payable until the year 2028 is estimated at about $23 billion, and there are debts due after the year 2028, so the external debt becomes about $30 billion.
    He added, "There is a debt pending on the 2004 Paris Club agreement, i.e. sovereign debts before 1990 belonging to four Gulf countries and four other countries, which are about 40 billion dollars, and if they are activated, if they are correct (because they are, as is termed economically, reprehensible debts because they financed the Iraqi-Iranian war." At that time, if it is correct again, it must be deducted by 80% or more under the Paris Club agreement for the year 2004, to be less than $ 9 billion or less.
    And Saleh continued, commenting on what the World Bank mentioned in its new report that Iraq’s debt exceeds 150 billion dollars: He said, “We do not know the method of calculating the debt in the World Bank report. Aside from it, for the external debt to reach 50 billion dollars, as an expectation of the total internal public debt early, which was not achieved, and therefore the reading of Iraq’s internal and external debts, according to what was published by the World Bank, came to be about 152 billion dollars, and this is exaggerated rather than being At about $84 billion (excluding the balance attached to the Paris Club agreement as an abhorrent debt) and what has been published about debt balances is unreal and discretionary. 
    He pointed out, "Nevertheless, the public debt-to-GDP ratio, even in light of its unjustified inflation, will remain between 54-57% of the estimated GDP for the year 2023, and it is within the current safe economic stability area, which is usually estimated at about 60%."
    And the advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs warned, "The financial policy in Iraq adopts a highly disciplined system in adjusting the timing of payment of debt dues (annual installments and interest) or when extinguishing the debt once on its annual due dates, and there are fixed and accurately estimated annual allocations that are monitored in the budget." The public early to pay debt services and dues, especially Iraq's foreign debts, and no failure has been recorded in Iraq during a decade and a half, and this is what made Iraq's credit worthiness high, as Iraq is located within Area B in the global credit rating tables that are evaluated by international credit rating companies. Known and periodically since 2015 until today.
    Saleh explained, "The vast majority of internal public debt is in the possession of government financial institutions or the government banking system, which is an (exclusive) internal governmental matter. There is a strategy in dealing with this debt, especially since the monetary authority currently acquires about 64% of the total internal debt and has the ability to In managing it in coordination with financial policy and with high accuracy, bearing in mind that the banking system annually obtains interest on that debt at a rate of 3%, and it falls within the annual allocations of the general budget.
