The former governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Sinan Muhammad Al-Shabibi, died, on Saturday, in the Swiss city of Geneva.
Nawar Al-Tamimi, one of the relatives of the late governor, said, in a statement received by Mawazine News, a copy of it, that “with hearts that believe in God’s decree, we were saddened a short while ago by the death of my uncle Sinan Muhammad Reda Al-Shabibi, the former governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, who passed away in Geneva / Switzerland today.” .
And she added: “Our dear deceased was the son of my late grandfather, Muhammad Reda Al-Shabibi and his youngest son.

And she continued, “Sinan al-Shabibi was raised and raised under that father. He was honest, efficient, and dedicated to his work for the interest of Iraq even before his appointment as governor of the Central Bank.
Sinan did not change his position, where he lived and died while he was clean.
Malak, my beloved uncle Sinan and to those who knew him, your memory will remain in our hearts pure, how can we forget uncle Sinan, who was loving to all, kind, quick-witted, good-natured, the simple person in his life and even his death. Ended 29/R77
Luv2Travel: My heart is breaking that this wonderful man that endured such hardship and was torn from his country did not see this come to fruition! What a great man and a great scholar!
Ahwman: I wholeheartedly agree. What a shame he didn’t live to see the fruits of his labor come to full fruition…
Billuke: What a shame indeed. Perhaps the admins could post the video of Bluestar asking him a question about the dinar in that news conference many years ago.

The UAE witnesses a historic day tomorrow
01/06/2022 08:34:16
Tomorrow, Friday, the UAE will witness the first government working day in the country’s history, within a new weekly work system.
Employees of the federal government sector and local governments, with the exception of Sharjah, begin their work for a period of 4 and a half hours, from 7.30 am to 12:00 pm, according to the implementation of the implementation of the new system of weekly work announced by the UAE government, and entered into force at the beginning of the new year 2022, to be 4 working days, from Monday to Thursday, half working day on Friday, and the weekly holiday on Saturday and Sunday, plus Friday in Sharjah.
From Friday, mosques will start unifying the date of the Friday sermon and prayer, so that it will be at 1:15 in the afternoon throughout the year, and in Sharjah, the date of the Friday sermon, prayer and residence will remain on schedule, according to the Hijri calendar.
The new work system will include the possibility of applying flexible working hours, and the remote work system on Friday in the federal authorities, provided that the federal authorities approve the implementation mechanisms, as required by the interest of the workflow in these authorities.
The new weekly work system will enhance the UAE’s position on the business map as a global economic center, as it will contribute to strengthening the integration of the national economy with various economies and global markets.
And it enhances its important and effective strategic position in the global economy, especially since the new system of weekly work ensures that the days of exchanges and commercial, economic and financial transactions are identical with the countries that adopt the weekly holiday on Saturdays and Sundays.
The adoption of the new system of working days and weekly holidays will support the financial sector, as it will harmonize with working days in international stock exchanges and financial markets, in addition to international banks, and thus the new system will enhance the performance of the stock markets, banks, insurance companies, and foreign trade of the UAE.

Harb: The election of Al-Halbousi will be the fastest, and hours separate him from the presidency of the House of Representatives
8th January, 2022
A legal expert, Tariq Harb, said, on Saturday, that the election of the head of the Progress Alliance, Muhammad al-Halbousi, to the presidency of the House of Representatives will be the fastest.

Samson: Leading By Law: Choosing The Prime Minister Will Be A Surprise To Everyone
8th January, 2022
Leader of the State of Law coalition, former MP Jassem Muhammad Jaafar, ruled out, on Saturday, that the winning Shiite forces would go to the House of Representatives unilaterally, indicating that the choice of the next prime minister would be a surprise to all.
Jaafar said in a statement to Al-Maalouma, “The talk about the continuation of the political dispute between the winning forces in the elections, namely the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement, is incorrect,” stressing that “there is a rapprochement that will end with the formation of a Shiite majority political bloc.”
He added, “Putting names to take over the three presidencies aims to burn those names by the opponents,” noting that “the next prime minister will be chosen suddenly, and the crisis will be resolved before the deadline expires, four hours or less.”
Jaafar pointed out that “choosing the presidency of the parliament and the republic is not an easy task and needs internal understandings, and then put it to the Shiite forces to gain the confidence of parliament, which will delay the end of the formation of the government for several months.” LINK
