Mawazine News - Baghdad
The government shocked the citizens of Baghdad with decisions described as absurd and ill-considered, which mixed the cards of employees, government departments, and citizens in general, in addition to the decision to raise the prices of improved fuel without prior warning.
Oil expert, Bilal Al-Khalifa, criticized the government's increase in gasoline prices by more than 30% as part of a plan to activate public transportation and reduce traffic congestion.
Al-Khalifa said, in a statement followed by Mawazine News, that “raising gasoline prices, according to the government, targets individuals with high incomes, but most people own cars known as American imports, which need improved gasoline.”
He added that the opening of the Karbala refinery is supposed to ensure sufficiency in importing gasoline, and therefore there is no reason to raise it, noting that to maximize revenues, customs exemptions for Jordan should have been cancelled, and subsidized oil for Jordan should have been cut, which is less than $20 of the world price.
He stressed that raising fuel prices would lead to raising all commodity prices.
Yesterday, Tuesday, the government decided to raise the price of improved gasoline from 650 dinars to 850 dinars, and super gasoline from 1,000 dinars to 1,250 dinars.
On Tuesday, the Iraqi Council of Ministers decided to change official working hours in ministries and state institutions as part of its measures to relieve traffic congestion, while it took decisions related to strengthening the economy and improving the reality of electric energy.
