  • Economic Hub “Kurdistan Region” During the 2014 Economic Crisis Ahmad Paiman Ramazan
    Economic Hub “Kurdistan Region” During the 2014 Economic Crisis Ahmad Paiman Ramazan MEGJELENT: 2015. JÚNIUS – 11. ÉVFOLYAM 1-3. SZÁM Ahmad Paiman Ramazan, PhD student, National University of Public Service, Faculty of Public Administration, Doctoral School, State and Economy Program. Summary Currently, economy in the Kurdistan region is facing a number of challenges, which threatens to undermine the future economy, the level of productivity and the sustainable competitiveness of economic performance. This paper studies the factors of economic shrinking: the instability of the region, political concerns with Baghdad and disagreement with the central government. These challenges are intertwined and overlapping, and Kurdistan’s Regional Government (KRG) has adopted a strategy to come up with appropriate solutions to resolve them within a specified time frame in order to decrease the effect of the crisis on the economic performance of the region. Economy in the Kurdistan Region is intertwined with regional politics. The economy is vulnerable, and some argue about the point where economics triumphs over politics. This study deals with issues such as the recent security threats and instability in Iraq and Syria. The term “political economy” has a genuine implication for Kurdistan regional economy, “as any in other country in which the political and economic sectors are interrelated, the same implication is true for the case of the Kurdistan Region”.1 Indeed, there is no proper balance between politics and the economy in the case of the Kurdistan region, the richest part of Iraq. In spite of repeated alarms, the high tension in Iraq led to the break-out of a new war in 2014; this was the main factor above all that brought adverse impacts on the economy in Iraq and particularly in the Kurdistan region.

  • 11 January 2017
    DAILY SUMMARY – 11 JANUARY 2017 1. Significant advances in neighborhoods of northeastern Mosul and areas approaching 2nd Bridge 2. Demonstration at power station outside Erbil 3. Additional reporting concerning incident involving MPs attempting to enter Erbil 4. Ongoing demonstrations in Khan Bani Saad against Mayor 5. IS assault repelled west of Hit 6. Uptick in IED activity in and around Baghdad 7. Justice and Accountability Committee employee shot and killed in New Baghdad 8. Multiple demonstrations with diverse motivations across Southern Region 9. Two intimidation-style IED attacks in northern and southern Basra North: As previously discussed, meetings began on 11 January in Erbil between KDP and PUK officials to discuss the political and financial problems facing the Kurdish Region. Each side has reportedly prepared proposals, with several possibilities to be discussed, including the KDP remaining in charge of the Presidency, a split of the Presidency between two individuals, or appointment of an independent individual. Additional changes being discussed relate to the management of the Ministry of Natural Resources and increasing transparency. On 10 January Iraqi Ministry of Defense officials announced a new commander has been appointed for the Northern Front Mosul of the Mosul campaign. Further details remain to be clarified regarding this appointment, though Lt. Gen. al-Fereji is to be replaced by Major General Najim al-Jabouri - previously the commander for Nineveh Operations Command. Rumors have previously surrounded this possible replacement, with claims now made public that operations in North East Mosul stalled in part due to some elements refusing to follow Lt. Gen. al-Fereji. Other more serious claims have also been made, related to his leadership and competence in commanding forces.
