11/25/2022 10:59:22
A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee said that there are "big threads" behind those accused of stealing the secretariats of the Tax Authority, which exceeded 3 trillion dinars.
Aliya Nassif told {Euphrates News} agency: "A sub-committee was formed within the Integrity Committee to follow up on the file of the theft of the century," indicating that "there are major threads being traced in this file." She added, "The so-called {Hussein Kawa} was born in the year 2000 and is involved in this case, as it is certain that he is a front for a larger corrupt personality, and that one of the personalities born in 1999 has a wealth estimated at billions of dinars, and this is evidence that they are a cover for bigger personalities." Nassif pointed out that "there is a qualitative development and a great effort, so that they made a qualitative leap in the work of the House of Representatives."

Samson: Almost half of Iraq's financial surplus has been transferred to US bonds .. Is there a benefit for Baghdad ?
25th November, 2022
Iraq continues to increase its holdings of US bonds at a time when it is witnessing huge numbers of oil revenues as a result of the rise in oil prices, as not a month passes without Iraq buying US bonds, at a value of approximately $1.6 billion per month.
The US Treasury said in its latest table, "Iraq rose two ranks to rank 32 among the countries with the largest holders of US treasury bonds of 38 countries listed in the table for countries with possessions of more than 32 billion dollars."
She added, "Iraq's possession of these bonds amounted to $36.9 billion for the month of September, up by 3.65% from August of 2022, and up by 105% from the same month of last year 2021."
She pointed out that "Iraq was the fourth largest Arab country after Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE, while Japan came at the top of the countries with the largest possession of these bonds, followed by China second and the United Kingdom third," noting that "the total bonds of the countries of the world amounted to 7 trillion and 296 billion dollars."
And Iraq buys these bonds as a result of achieving a monthly financial surplus, which has a comparison between its expenses and revenues. Speaking of the financial surplus achieved in the current year 2022, Iraq's possession of US bonds in the last month of last year, December, amounted to $22.5 billion.
During the 9 months of this year until September, Iraq's possession of US bonds amounted to $36.9 billion, which means that Iraq bought during the first nine months of this year $14.4 billion in US bonds.
Looking at the accounts of the Iraqi state until September, Iraq's total revenues during 9 months of the year amounted to more than 122 trillion dinars (more than 84 billion dollars), while its expenditures were about 79 trillion dinars (more than 53 billion dollars).
Thus, the surplus achieved by Iraq amounts to 31 billion dollars in 9 months, and during these same nine months, Iraq bought US bonds with 14.4 billion dollars of the achieved financial surplus, which means that more than 46% of Iraq's financial surplus turned into US bonds.
What led to the temptation of Iraq to transfer nearly half of its financial surplus to US bonds is the high interest rate approved by the US Federal Reserve during the current year, and the continuous increase that is expected to reach the end of this year by more than 4%.
Accordingly, Iraq can receive interest a year from now on the value of its current bonds at a value of approximately $1.5 billion, while its interest will rise further with the purchase of more bonds in the coming months with oil prices stabilizing above $70 a barrel, which is the price that represents the limit. The difference between Iraq's expenditures and the possibility of achieving a financial surplus.
And while Iraq bought US bonds with about half of the financial surplus it achieved, the other half is divided between buying gold, which since the beginning of this year amounted to about 34 tons of gold that Iraq bought during this year so far, bringing its reserves to more than 130 tons after it was not it exceeds 96 tons at the beginning of this year.
The average price of a ton of gold globally during the current year is approximately $50 million, which means that Iraq bought gold at $1.7 billion, in addition to bonds at $14.4 billion, meaning that it bought bonds and gold at more than $16 billion, and with this, it has converted more than from 50% of its financial surplus achieved so far into gold and US bonds.
