To be honest I could give a rip who is President and who is PM as long as those people put into power will elevate their country.  The people of America and it’s Allies liberated Iraq from a brutal dictator and it’s about time to deliver to the people of Iraq a liberated currency and a government that works for them.  It would be nice to see a rate increase that would benefit our soldiers who served in Iraq and the American tax payers.  (and people like us who invested in Iraq).  

Amen...with you 💯 %!!!🇺🇸👍

Iraqi economy slammed by former vice president

26/05/2013

Adil Abdul-Mahdi, the former Iraqi vice president has criticized the economic policy of the nation blatantly. He also mentioned the economic policy as the failure of the government. He warned government not to tamper the balances of nature of economy.   
It has to be noted that Adil Abdul-Mahdi is one of the important member of Islamic Supreme Council headed by Ammar al-Hakim. He was the minister of economy of Iraq, during the reign of former Prime Minister, Ayad Allawi. Later, he was appointed as the vice president before presenting his resignation due to different political conflictions. 
Abdul-Mahdi has written on his personal Facebook page that the dramatic fluctuations of the currency or Iraqi dinar in comparison to the Dollars, since the start of this April are a big concern for the country. No wonder fall in dinar price has resulted in price rise in the local markets and with low salary profile people are struggling to find their way in this economic turmoil. He mentioned, “The high demand for the US dollar that we have seen for months has been widening the gap between supply and demand, at about $60 million-$70 million per day. A black market has emerged, in addition to two different exchange rates with a difference of 8%-10%.” 
Since the beginning of the year of 2013, the price of Iraqi dinar is falling down, which hit its nadir last week when the dinar dropped from 1,200 per US dollar — the exchange rate registered in March — to 1,300 per US dollar. Following this, parliamentary Financial Commission has stated that half of the Iraqi employees under state will be paid in dollars so that they do not have to face struggles in their daily needs. Also, last week, a little rise in the price of Iraqi dinar has also been recorded. 
Hussein al-Najem, a financial expert, stated that the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar to keep advancing due to “new measures espoused by the Central bank of Iraq. He remarked to the media that the real value of dinar is strong enough – it relies on an exchange reserve of 60 million dollar. Due to the regional challenges the impact over exchange is experienced in Iraq. The CBI sells US dollars to Iraqi banks at a rate of 1,179 Iraqi dinars per dollar, provided that banks do not sell these dollars to Iraqi citizens for more than 1,189 dinars per dollar. The rate is even lower than the market rate. Abdul-Mahdi remarked these as two exchange rates. 
In his Facebook Page, he stated, “This is a disturbing issue that takes us back to the policies of inflation and multiple exchange rates.” He continues, “Our problem is that we have a strong dinar coming from the oil revenues within a fragile, single-product economy that depends on foreign [markets], not only for imports and tourism, but also for medical treatments, migration, residence, investment, speculation and savings.” 
Abdul-Mahdi believes that “if concepts and measures are not altered in tandem with the changing of regimes, they will clash — as is currently happening. When we abandon the official exchange rate for the sake of supply and demand; restraining transfers, save for a few exceptions, and we instead lift the restrictions after fulfilling the requirements; when we seek to become a civil economy and a market economy, only then, when the strong dinar is not allowed to meet its needs in dollars, will the economy be weakened.”

This guy is a communist and an Iranian puppet.

There is nothing good going to come out of him being 

PM. 

 

 

Adil Abdul-Mahdi al-Muntafiki (Arabicعادل عبد المهدي المنتفكي‎) is an Iraqi Shi'a politicianeconomist, and was one of the Vice Presidents of Iraq from 2005 to 2011. He was formerly served as the Finance Minister in the Interim government and Oil Minister from 2014 to 2016.[3]

Abdel-Mahdi is a member of the powerful Shi'a party the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, or SIIC.

Long based in neighboring Iran,

the group opposed a United States administration

while holding close ties with the other U.S.-backed groups that opposed Saddam Hussein, including the Kurds and the Iraqi National Congress.

 

Background[edit]

He is a trained economist who left Iraq in 1969 for exile in France. He worked for French think tanks and edited magazines in French and Arabic. He was educated in France, and is the son of a respected Shiite cleric who was a minister in Iraq's monarchy. He attended high school at Baghdad College, an elite American Jesuit secondary school.

 

Iraqi politics[edit]

Further information: Government of Iraq from 2006

In the 1970s, Abdul-Mahdi was a leading member of the Iraqi Communist Party.

The Party split into two separate factions, the ICP-Central Committee, which was more accommodating of the military governments that had ruled Iraq since 1958, and the ICP-Central Leadership, which rejected all forms of cooperation of what it regarded as anti-progressive regimes, in 1967. Abdul-Mahdi joined the ICP-Central Leadership, and continued being active until it gradually disappeared by the early 1980s.

By that time, Abdul-Mahdi adopted Iranian Islamic ideas,

eventually merging with the Islamists when Ayatollah Khomeini 

eradicated the communists and other liberal oppositions groups in Iran.

 

Abdul-Mahdi continued his association with Iran and gradually amalgamated

his group within the ICP-Central Leadership with the Iranians,

rejecting his Marxist past and

devoting all his group's time to propagating Khomeini's ideas in France,

where he lived at the time.

He eventually was made a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, an exiled opposition party and militia that was formed by Iran in Tehran in 1982 but composed exclusively of Iraqi exiles.[4]

In 2006, Abdul-Mahdi, outgoing Vice President in the transitional government, unsuccessfully ran for the United Iraqi Alliance's nomination for Prime Minister against incumbent Ibrahim al-Jaafari. He lost by one vote. He was reportedly considered to be a possibility for Prime Minister once again until Nouri al-Maliki became the UIA nominee. Subsequently, Abdul-Mahdi was re-elected as Vice President of Iraq. He exerted his limited authority in that role by delaying the first meeting of the National Assembly in March. He resigned from his position as vice-president on 31 May 2011.[5]

In December 2006, the Associated Press reported that Abdul-Mahdi could be the next Prime Minister of Iraq if a new multi-sectarian coalition succeeded in toppling the government of Nouri al-Maliki.[6]

In 2009, his bodyguards were involved in a bloody bank robbery in Baghdad

If Abdul Mahdi  wants the HCL passed, let 'r rip.

 

Couldn't be any worse than what they've had with since Saddam was hanged.
