The workshop, which was conducted by economist Bassem Jameel Antoine, began with the speech of the secretary-general of the Cabinet, followed by Acting Representative Karrar Mohammed Abdul-Zahra. He said: "The need for sovereign funds in Iraq stems from the possession of natural resources that provide a financial surplus. Saving the surplus and investing it in the process of development and safeguarding the rights of future generations ». "The workshop represents a platform of ideas and visions that we need today and express a consistent approach that we are keen to spread and consolidate. It is to expand the participation of the institutions of society and the state in decision-making and policy-making. He stressed that «the outputs of the work within this series of seminars will be the subject of great attention and attention by those involved in the industry and decision-making at all levels» Reconstruction, in turn the head of the Baghdad Economic Forum Fares Al-Salman that "the presence of leaders of thought and economy in Iraq, along with parliamentarians, academics and representatives Diplomacy to discuss this issue, is very important. " He pointed out that the workshop of the sovereign funds comes in conjunction with the Iraqi people's victories against the forces of darkness and terrorism and the start of the reconstruction phase. He pointed out that the Iraqi economy should be identified and strategic bases should be put in place to serve Iraqi national security and contribute to the success of the economic development process. The Prime Minister's financial adviser addressed the appearance of Mohammed Saleh, "the sovereign fund of the submersible and the guarantees of economic development, which is a means by which governments and institutions can put money and accumulate over time to extinguish debts." "Iraq is still at a safe level in its virtual capacities and has a standard rate of less than 60 percent in the ratios of public debt to gross domestic product," Saleh said, adding that "at the last consultation with the IMF, the possibility of Iraq establishing a subprime sovereign fund Financing by supplementary borrowing from the international market by the executive cohesion with the global contracting market to improve the ratio of fixed capital formation relative to gross domestic product to 50% instead of 25% currently and in the coming years. Spokesman of the Central Bank of Iraq d. Bassem Abdul Hadi proposed "forming an administrative unit in the Ministry of Finance and under the supervision of the Central Bank to prepare the structure and staff and develop its capacity to establish a sovereign fund that performs its functions in such a way that it becomes an active contributor to the economic development process." Achieve development The academic d. "The experience of establishing the DFI was aimed at ensuring the transparent use of the Fund's resources to rebuild Iraq and meet humanitarian needs. Since its establishment under Security Council resolution 1483 (2003) until the end of 2013, Of the role of the Fund in financing various economic sectors aimed at achieving economic development, but did not achieve the desired development despite the funds spent from the Fund for this purpose and for several reasons, including the Fund's adoption of a clear development strategy. Investment Operations He added that the requirements for setting up the Iraq Fund are to define the objective of the Fund's general policy, to provide a legal framework that is the cornerstone of an institutional framework and an effective governance structure underpinned by the proposed fund, as well as to define the functions of responsible government agencies to ensure the professional and operational independence of the Fund The appropriate forms of investment and risk management aimed at promoting the safety of investment operations, as well as the separation between political ambitions and the interest of the economy to ensure economic decisions and implementation of investment operations, and comply with all the requirements of regulation and disclosure and Transparency applied in countries that invest in Iraq 's sovereign fund. Revenue flow "The objectives of the Fund are as a tool to finance economic and social development and contribute to achieving macroeconomic stability by planning spending through the strategy of the flow of oil revenues to the budget, and to maximize savings directed to future generations of depleted resource and achieve the principle of equity in the distribution of wealth, Activating the activity of the stock market through direct and indirect investment of the Fund's financial assets ". He stressed that "the adoption of scenarios for the establishment of Iraq's sovereign fund (stability - investment - development - submersible subject to the priorities of the requirements of the Iraqi economy, which is almost integrated and interact among them, as can not separate the process of development and stability and investment from each other, and the model that may put Iraq at the top of the priority is Sovereign investment fund, because it will be the entrance to each development process and then a factor of economic stability. " Human development Dean of the Faculty of Business Economics at Al-Nahrain University Star Al-Bayati discussed in his paper Future Fund, which is fully compatible with the concept of sustainable human development, which takes into account the right of future generations to the resources of the poor, then it is unreasonable that the country is going to borrow from abroad and the future generations to bear part of the burden of these loans and their increasing benefits? To the extent that the right of future generations to the underdeveloped resources is demonstrated, it represents an achievement of intergenerational justice and goes even further in its goal when it is a matter of belonging to the homeland. An investment possibility , explaining that it is "Fund financing through the deduction of a certain percentage of oil revenues are deposited in this fund with the possibility of investing its assets, and some might agree that this percentage be increased by 5 percent, permanently fixed , whether or of the increase in oil prices whenever necessary so "He said. Al-Bayati pointed out that "the stability fund derives its importance and the obligation to create it from the deficit suffered by the general budget of Iraq since 2003, because of reliance on oil as the most important resource or source of income or public revenues," pointing out that "the main objective is to fill the budget deficit and protect the state To protect the economy as a whole and to stabilize the exchange rate of the national currency against fluctuations in the balance of payments resulting from fluctuations in commodity prices, especially oil, as explained above, as well as to face economic shocks and thus seek sustainable development. Sources of funding According to the Academy d. Hamdiya Shaker to the importance of sovereign wealth funds is more evident in the rentier economies, especially in the oil-dependent countries, one of the dependence on oil as the main source of revenue, and thus suffer from structural imbalances resulting from the high contribution of the oil sector in the generation of GDP and on exports and public revenues , Which may expose them to external shocks and periodic crises due to the continuous fluctuations in oil prices globally and unpredictability, so the biggest challenge facing the oil countries is how to diversify the sources of financing their economies and not rely on a resource and one The countries are creating sovereign wealth funds to guarantee the right of future generations to these wealth by converting a certain portion of oil revenues into medium- and long-term financial assets that benefit the generations.
