 May 31, 2021 10:17 PM

Samson:  Without radical reform.” The Washington Institute: State collapse in Iraq is “inevitable.”
12:42 - 03/06/2021
A report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy confirmed, Thursday, that if the current political situation in Iraq continues as it is without fundamental reform, the collapse of the state is inevitable.

The report, which was translated by / the information / stated that “unless there is a continuous decline in oil prices, it is likely that the collapse of Iraq will be gradual, and it will unfold through a continuous series of severe crises and bottlenecks, and it seems that this is the path that Iraq is currently taking, with the intensification of corruption Within the state and the parties that rule without worrying about the interest of the people and the future of the country. In addition, Iraq faces a persistent lack of services, lack of social justice, and widespread unemployment and poverty.

He added, "The only reason for the failure of the Iraqi government completely in the past years is the abundance of oil revenues that covered the state's operational expenses and were sufficient for all parties to distribute their shares. However, this previous financial abundance is in danger due to low oil prices, and inflated spending on the bloated public sector." and increasing operating expenses. The day will come when the state will not be able to manage its finances. As such, the pace of the state's collapse will accelerate with the first sharp drop in oil prices. Examples of this danger emerged with the state’s inability to pay employees for several consecutive months when the oil price fell below $40 a barrel last year.

He continued, “The Ministry of Finance has resorted to devaluing the Iraqi dinar by about 23% against the US dollar to prevent a financial collapse, and although the measure severely affected the local market and worsened the living conditions of all Iraqis to varying degrees, but in addition to the recovery of the global oil market and the return of The oil price reached $70 a barrel, these strict measures allowed the government to pay government salaries while showing the fragility of government revenues in Iraq.”
He explained, “In the event that the situation deteriorates further, the most likely scenario is the administrative collapse of the current system and the decline of the government’s role in managing limited business with control over certain areas including central Baghdad and the Green Zone, and in this case, the government will lack legitimacy and lose control over Some governorates of IraqIt is possible that parties in some provinces will refuse to fully recognize the central government.”

The report indicated that “the current situation in Iraq requires radical solutions to avoid the potential catastrophic repercussions of the current situation, and this can only be achieved if political parties, religious leaders and civil society work together to save what can be saved and return the country to a place of civil peace and coexistence.” They must take the lead in building sustainable development and consensus around a series of common solutions.”   LINK

Samson:  Lebanon: Central Bank decision ignites nightly protests
3rd June, 2021
Night protests erupted in Beirut, Tripoli and other Lebanese regions, in rejection of a banking decision that places additional restrictions on citizens' withdrawals from their accounts deposited in US dollars
Anadolu Agency reported that a number of young men gathered at the "Ring" intersection in central Beirut, blocking the main road for some time, and others set fire to the "Martyrs' Square" road in the capital
Likewise, protesters blocked the main roads in the areas of Antelias and Zouk, north of Beirut, and those roads link the capital with the northern regions of the country, for the same reason. In Tripoli (north), demonstrators blocked the road in front of the central bank building in the city, and set fire to protest the decision. The protesters also denounced the living suffering they suffer from as a result of the economic crisis
Yesterday, Wednesday, the Central Bank issued a decision asking banks operating in Lebanon to suspend depositors’ withdrawals from their dollar account funds at the rate of 3900 Lebanese pounds to the dollar. The bank based its request on a “preparatory” (initial) decision issued by the State Council, which stipulates that payment to dollar account holders must be made in the deposit currency, i.e. in dollars, and not in Lebanese pounds, at the exchange rate of 3900 pounds to the dollar
Lebanese banks set restrictions on withdrawals in dollars, and allow withdrawals in Lebanese pounds only, and according to an exchange rate of 3900 pounds, based on a previous decision of the Bank of Lebanon, at a time when the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market is currently about 13 thousand pounds, which means that depositors lose about 70 % of their money value
 However, the Central Bank, after requesting to stop the withdrawals according to the exchange rate of 3900 pounds to the dollar, did not specify in which currency the deposits will be paid to their owners, and according to what exchange rate if they will be made in Lebanese pounds
This raised the fears of depositors in foreign currencies that withdrawing their money would be available only according to the exchange rate of 1507 liras, which is the official exchange rate at the Central Bank, at a time when the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market is about 13,000 liras, which increases their loss to about 88% of the value of their money
The Lebanese Depositors Association supported the decision of the State Council, declaring its refusal to pay withdrawals from dollar deposits in Lebanese pounds, whether according to the exchange rate of 1515 pounds, or 3900 pounds and she said in a statement via her Twitter account that "the deposit is paid in the same currency as the deposit only, not in Lebanese pounds
A year and a half ago, a severe economic crisis afflicted Lebanon, which led to an unprecedented financial collapse, and a scarcity of basic materials such as medicine and fuel, in addition to a record high price of food commodities. In the past months, Lebanon witnessed a series of protests denouncing the financial collapse and the reality of living, sometimes interspersed with acts of violence and the smashing of the facades of some banks   LINK
