I noticed this yesterday. Today's announcement is: The opening offers the sale and purchase of foreign currency in the window of the Central Bank of Iraq on 1/6/2017 that performed on 31/5/2017 and the results were as follows: Whereas yesterday's announcement was something like (I swapped the dates): The opening offers the sale and purchase of foreign currency in the window of the Central Bank of Iraq on 31/5/2017 that performed on 30/5/2017 and the results were as follows: http://www.cbi.iq/index.php?pid=CurrencyAuctions Although this may have happened more than one consecutive days at a time, I do not remember this occurring two or more days in a row. Their business week is our Sunday through Thursday. Since tomorrow is their last day of their business week and the auction has occurred today for their last day of the week, it will be interesting to see if the CBI has a currency auction tomorrow. The indicative rates (compared to other currencies) seems to be proportionate for the IQD being pegged to the USD. The question that runs in my mind when I occasionally see this is, "Why would they want tomorrow's money for today?" I am always hoping this is an indication the currency auctions are going to be terminated but this hasn't happened - yet. Top Of The Morning To You, CoorsLite21, and I Hope You Enjoy Your Day!

boosterbglee Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I find it unusual for a bank to do business for the next day! Maybe it's just wishful thinking that something really is happening! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synopsis Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Here is an oddity for the CBI money auction. There was an auction today, June 1, 2017 for June 4, 2017. So, now we are three auctions in a row for "paying it forward". This may have happened prior but I have not seen this. I have only seen it for one auction at a time in the past but not three in a row. I don't know if this is a policy change for the CBI if they continue to plan doing this or if this is anomaly driven. The business week in Iraq runs from our Sunday through Thursday. So the auction for today, Thursday, is for this coming Sunday. I am hoping Sunday, June 4 is a brand new day since Abadi announced Iraq would be out of Chapter VII within two months on April 4, 2017. Currency Auctions Announcement No. (3456) The opening offers the sale and purchase of foreign currency in the window of the Central Bank of Iraq on 4/6/2017 that performed on 1/6/2017 and the results were as follows: DETAILS NOTES Number of banks 38 Number of remittance companies 10 Amount sold at auction price (US$) 151,197,131 Amount purchased at Auction price (US$) ----- Total offers for buying (US$) 151,197,131 Total offers for selling (US$) ----- Exchange rates from (06/04/2015) till the last date Exchange rates from the beginning of the auction until (19/2/2015) http://www.cbi.iq/index.php?pid=CurrencyAuctions Go Moola Nova!

I'll have to keep an eye on this, too, since I have never seen before a run of four consecutive business days of the CBI holding a currency auction on a given business day for the next business day. I don't know what that means but seems odd. Seems like if things were going to real time, the auctions would potentially be electronic by legitimate and preauthorized entities on a moment by moment basis on the CBI business day during CBI business hours and not once a day with a day delay. Maybe the extra day is to monitor the auctioning entities for corruption or money laundering with mechanisms in place to halt the currency transfers to these corrupt entities. If so, that would be good news from a implementation of the Anti Money Laundering mechanisms. Go Moola Nova! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeetdog Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks Yota...This could be the results of the international banking system to monitor the laundering of money by the CBI though their updated world electronic system...Last month there was news about the CBI acquiring some type of international system used by the rest of the world to combat corruption and money laundering....Then a couple weeks ago there was article that stated there was training being done to educate the CBI on international banking techniques.....Seeing that the sales are starting to decline...we maybe starting to see the beginning of the end to these auctions.....jmho 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not mistaken, the IMF and WB has come requirements that the CBI recently implemented. Although the "pay it forward a day" requirement was not specifically noted, it appears to be a more permanent practice. As you noted, I suspect as well this is due to combating corruption and money laundering. Looks like Iraq has been told to get their act together and Iraq appears to be doing that but not entirely there, yet. As Iraq meets various milestones, the external sanctions/shackles will be removed and then I suspect Iraq's monetary policies will get a healthy dose of nitrous.
