Why Is The Central Bank And Our National Economy Targeted?
Articles
Samir Al-Nusairi Our country is now going through suffocating and complex crises and great challenges, most notably the political crisis and the effects of the global economic and financial crisis and its negative repercussions on the national economy. The Central Bank is making clear efforts to revitalize the national economy and overcome the expected damage that the country will suffer later. At a time when our people are demonstrating and looking forward to finding immediate solutions and remedies to overcome the political and economic crises and meet their basic needs .
Some social media and some satellite channels known for their orientations and with the intent of deliberately harming the national economy and national economic institutions that have clear success experiences and work with Iraqi national cadres and that these parties are motivated by special and projective interests and target our national economy and its institutions that have achieved clear achievements during the economic and security shocks that Iraq went through it after mid-2014 until the present time, and it contributed to achieving economic resilience and supporting our national economy.
Their statements and press and media reports have preoccupied us these days by targeting the Central Bank and involving organizational and administrative problems in other institutions, or exploiting leaks to amplify fabricated information that has not been audited and verified.
Its aim is to blackmail and cover up the achievements made during the years of crises. So why target? The reason, as I see it, is that the Central Bank insists on the need for all relevant authorities to carry out its daily work, both internally and externally, to abide by the instructions, controls and regulations in accordance with its objectives contained in Law 56 of 2004, which maintains economic stability in the country .
Although I respect the other opinion that is issued by non-specialists or specialists in the economy and monetary policy in particular, but I may disagree with the opinion that is trying to dwarf, minimize and personalize the achievements made by the Central Bank in the face of challenges .
Therefore, I call on the media to look, even for once, to preserve the reputation of the Iraqi economy internally and externally, because it is illogical to allow targeting our economic institutions that are directly responsible for achieving steadfastness and economic stability .
Because accusations against the Central Bank are an insult to Iraq’s economic reputation internationally without checking and investigating the leaked information. These parties know before others through evidence and achievements that the Central Bank of Iraq has proven that it is the first independent economic institution in supporting and stimulating the national economy and maintaining its reputation locally and internationally . 117 . views Added 08/15/2022 – 3:12 PM Update 08/15/2022 – 7:03 PM

Save the Marshes of Iraq” .. a campaign in the face of an unprecedented drought
Reports| 03:54 – 15/08/2022 Baghdad – Mawazine News An unprecedented drought was recorded in the marsh areas of southern Iraq, which caused new migrations of hundreds of families, as well as losses in livestock and crops. The social media under the title “Save the Marshes of Iraq”.
The Iraqi marshes, in which the nature of this country is unique, are huge bodies of water that derive their water mainly from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and extend in the governorates of Dhi Qar, Maysan, Basra and Muthanna and border areas with Iran in the south and southeast of the country. Birds, fish, aquatic plants, reeds and papyrus, while thousands of Iraqi families live around them on agriculture, fishing and livestock.
On July 17, 2016, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) agreed to include the marshes in the World Heritage List, an international nature reserve, in addition to nearby ancient archaeological cities such as Ur, Eridu and Warka.
Since the beginning of this year, drought has hit the country, which has been caused by a decline in water levels through the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, as a result of the water policies of Iran and Turkey, through building dams, diverting the course of branch rivers and preventing their entry into Iraq. Today, the Iraqi marshes appear to be facing a serious challenge for survival, in light of the aggravation of the drought crisis, which experts describe as the most severe in decades, as water levels have declined in the water bodies that cover large areas of several governorates, and are a source of fertile environmental life around which residential communities have been formed. Many different villages and towns contain tens of thousands of Iraqis.
In recent weeks, a significant number of families have been displaced from the marshlands due to drought, as they depend on raising buffaloes, livestock and fishing, which have been affected by drought, while agriculture has also been affected.
Iraqi activists launched a campaign to urge the government to help the people of the marshes, and activists are preparing to organize a sit-down on Monday evening, August 15, in the center of Nasiriyah, the capital of Dhi Qar governorate, to denounce the government’s failure to contain the crisis and help the people affected by the drought crisis.
In this context, environmental activist Muhammad Abbas said in a tweet on Twitter that the United Nations should intervene in such “stifling conditions” and solve the crisis of the Great Marshlands, especially as it is on the World Heritage List. Abbas described the crisis as a “political failure”, referring to the Iraqi government’s failure to complete its negotiations with the Turkish and Iranian sides, and to achieve the desired results to raise the quantities of water reaching the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Earlier, the rapporteur of the Iraqi Parliament’s Water Committee, Representative Adel Al-Mukhtar, said that his committee “called on the three presidencies to use pressure papers on neighboring countries to get them to join international agreements and treaties related to the distribution of water between countries,” explaining in press statements “the need to develop solutions to address The negative effects of declining water levels, the most important of which are the high rates of pollution, especially in the central and southern regions, and the increase in desertification areas, as well as the expansion of family migration, especially from marsh dwellers and villages to city centers.”
Al-Mukhtar added that “the most important of these treatments include rationalizing water consumption, by stopping fish farming, and changing the old irrigation systems for orchards.” Ended 29 / h https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=202522
