  1. Official: The issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization is coming soon EconomyIraqWTOPursuitJoin 2024-03-05 02:37 Share Font Shafaq News/ Undersecretary of the Minister of Commerce, Sattar Al-Jabri, considered on Tuesday that the issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization was imminent, while he stressed that the current federal government would achieve self-sufficiency and not depend on the importer. This came during his hosting of a discussion session on the sidelines of the seventh session of the activities of the third day of the Al-Rafidain Forum 2024 - Baghdad, under the title “Humanizing the Global Economy.” Al-Jabri said during the hosting that the governmental curriculum developed by the Iraqi government is based on a strategy to keep pace with the development taking place in the global economy, as the government signed bilateral international memorandums of understanding in the field of trade and economics. He stressed that "Iraq is seeking to enter the World Trade Organization, and the issue is coming soon." The Iraqi government official spoke about the issue of import and export, saying: There is no trade balance between exported and imported materials, as the monetary mass was going to other countries, and this is what the current government seeks to address by relying on self-sufficiency. At the beginning of 2024, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced its support for Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, especially after the political obstacles that prevented it were removed. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/مس-ول-موضوع-انضمام-العراق-الى-منظمة-التجارة-العالمية-بات-قريبا

  4. Do you not think we're ALL waiting. Hell, I'm 20 +years amongst others. I've went through 2 back surgeries prepping for my 3rd and this will be major. I am a plasma sprayer (spray metal on parts like a weld) at Standard Aero world wide. I've refurbished jet engines like the one in Germany for Luthansia amongst GE, Prat -Whitney, Rolls-Royce and etc...Just so they could set and wait on Iraq to get their **** together. We've lost several on this journey. And have made several friends along the way. Some have horrible and serious health issues. My step father passed and didn't get to see this even. So being grumpy and just debt free is a cake walk to some of us.

  8. REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Militia Man The Central Bank of Iraq just told Iraq that you guys can use dinar to buy multi-currencies. To do what? Clearing and settlement in the system with accurate and facial data. Those two things right here are solidifying that there's something happening... Pimpy Article: "Central Bank announces the increase in the volume of foreign reserves from 140 to 148 trillion dinars" That's perfect because...the more reserves you have the easier it is to protect your exchange rate. MarkZ I have a lot of sources expecting it to break loose in the next 2 days of this week…hope they are right.It would be great if this were true, but we've heard this so many times before from Mark.

  12. As far as I know, the dinars outside of Iraq will be collected by the treasuries, and held. They will not go back to Iraq right away if ever. When we turn them in here in the USA, we will get our money deposited right to our account, after they verify them. Then, after that, they will be sent to the US Treasury, so there would be no reason for Iraq to open banks around the world to collect dinars. All they have to do is revalue the currency, and "poof", the old dinars disappear!

  17. What are the real reasons behind the government's delay in sending the 2024 budget schedules? Posted 14 seconds ago What are the real reasons behind the government's delay in sending the 2024 budget tables? - Iraq News (iraqakhbar-com.translate.goog) News source /Noon Agency With the mounting criticism and calls to speed up sending the current year's budget to Parliament, ambiguity still surrounds the government's delay in sending the budget schedules, despite Finance Minister Taif Sami's pledge to complete the schedules and send them soon to the Council for approval. After demanding Parliamentary Finance, yesterday, Monday, to reveal the reasons for the delay behind the government's failure to send the budget schedules, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Planning Committee, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, revealed today, Tuesday, the real reasons behind the delay in the government sending amendments to the current year's budget schedules to the House of Representatives for the purpose of approval. Al-Baldawi said, "The delay in sending amendments to the 2024 budget schedules to Parliament is due to several reasons, including the ministries not completing their plans regarding the lagging projects, as the government is working to close this file, as well as the difference in prices and currency values," according to Al-Alam Al-Jadeed newspaper. He added, "Among those reasons relates to the schedules and amounts allocated to the Kurdistan region of Iraq, especially after the recent decisions issued by the Federal Court that obligated the government to do so," noting that "most of these reasons and obstacles have been overcome by the government and will be sent to Parliament very soon." Members of the House of Representatives criticized the government's delay in sending the revised 2024 budget tables for study and approval, despite the facilities it enjoys as part of a three-year "tripartite budget" that only needs some amendments in the numbers of the exchange and revenue sections, adding that violating the legal timings regarding the "budget" and even others has become a "custom" in the country. Jamal Kojar, a member of the parliamentary finance committee, confirmed on January 2 that the 2024 budget will witness changes in its operational and investment aspects, indicating that many changes will be made in it and it will be something different in terms of resources, oil price estimates and exchanges. The exchange rates of the dollar in the local market have fluctuated greatly during the past months, as they suddenly fell to 148 thousand dinars per 100 dollars, and quickly rose again to 160 thousand dinars, and then continued to fluctuate until today, reaching 151 thousand. dinars per 100 dollars, after its price nearly two weeks ago was about 153 thousand dinars. From time to time, the Iraqi market is witnessing a crisis that leads to a rise in prices, which began with the change in the exchange rate of the dollar, and then the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, and the rise of the dollar again during the current year to record levels. It is noteworthy that the draft budget law for the current year, worth 197 trillion and 828 billion dinars (about 152.2 billion dollars), with a total deficit of 63 trillion dinars (48.3 billion dollars), while in the budget for the next two years The numbers will change, according to events at the time. The dollar exchange rate in the budget amounted to 1,300 dinars per dollar, and the budget was based on an oil price of $70 per barrel and expectations of exporting 3.5 million barrels of oil per day, including 400,000 barrels per day from the Kurdistan region. The three-year budget version included many articles on external borrowing, including continuing to borrow according to previous agreements, as well as new borrowing from international institutions and various governments, and some borrowing amounted to more than $3,000 billion. It is noteworthy that this tripartite budget, as a result of the value of very high salaries, due to the new appointments, led to a significant reduction in the budget investment, and according to economists that this will force the state to borrow.

  18. REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 IQD on Forex is on the private side. [Found by Forex Girl] 1. www.Forexlive.com 2. Click Live Charts. This is free but there is a private side. We can at least get a little example. 3. Click EURUSD in the top left of the chart. 4. Delete EURUSD in the top left box and type in USD/IQD. Wow! Oh, my goodness...The Iraqi dinar is going through a phase where it's being traded internationally on a private side of Forex. It is live. In December it was trading about $2.40 to $2.50. In January it was trading at about $2.60. Last month it was about $2.63 or so. Sunday it was $2.70...IMO this is a trend that is going towards the reinstate phase of the Monetary reform to reach the $3.22 that it was. Pimpy I'm sure you've heard the great news by now, the IQD is on the "private side" of the Forex...This sounds like some great news don't you think? ...I'm grateful to do all the research for you so you don't have to...There is no "private side" of Forex. None. The Forex is open to all participants who have access to the necessary trading platforms and infrastructure...There is no "private side" of the Forex... Deepwoodz [Response to Frank's post above] The listing USD/IQD = 2.81 would mean $1 = 2.81 dinar. Not the other way around. Even if this is true, definitely an improvement worthy of praise. If you want to see the value of the dinar, simply list it the other direction. i.e….IQD/USD. Which equals .355. 1 dinar =0.35$ [NOTE: To see the dinar at different possible rates use a Dinar calculator.] NOTE: www.Forexlive.com is NOT a FOREX site. It's a site contrived by someone to present false (Hopeful) information. RON

  22. Iraq confirms completion of requirements to join World Trade Organisation https://thearabweekly.com/iraq-confirms-completion-requirements-join-world-trade-organisation WTO membership opens up markets by reducing trade barriers, enjoying lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, leading to increased export opportunities. Tuesday 05/03/2024 The World Trade Organisation (WTO) headquarters in Geneva. (AFP) ABU DHABI – Iraqi Minister of Trade Atheer al-Ghurairi said that Iraq had fulfilled the conditions necessary to become a member of the World Trade Organisation following the completion of economic reforms and the enhancement of its investment climate. Iraq submitted a request to join in 2004. The Iraqi minister was speaking during the WTO’s 13th Ministerial Conference held in the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi. Shwan Ibrahim Taha, an expert in Iraq’s finance and investments affairs, said: “Iraq business needs to make substantial reforms and changes to boost its private sector that still lags behind giving the opportunities and resources available in the country.” “To comply with WTO rules, Iraq has to align their trade policies with international standards. This process not only enhances the efficiency of domestic industries but also attracts foreign investments, as investors are more confident in transparent and consistent regulatory environments, something Iraq SME’s disparately needs,” Taha added. WTO membership promotes transparency and predictability in trade relations. The organisation provides a rules-based system that ensures fair competition. By adhering to established trade norms, countries can resolve disputes through the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism, ensuring a level playing field for all members. Furthermore, the WTO promotes development by addressing the concerns of developing nations. Special and differential treatment provisions recognise the developmental needs of these countries, allowing them more time and flexibility to comply with WTO agreements. This inclusivity aims to bridge the economic gap between developed and developing nations. Joining WTO offers a multitude of benefits for member countries, fostering economic growth, stability and global integration. WTO membership opens up markets by reducing trade barriers, enjoying lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, leading to increased export opportunities.

  23. Dinar and dollar 7 hours ago March 4, 2024 Mohammed Rashid Most of the crises that accompanied us led to the collapse of our national currency (the dinar) were due to the wars that were forcibly imposed on Iraq by some major powers for many years, and the dollar was the final command that dominated the economic scene and contributed to destroying the value of the Iraqi dinar. In 1970, a piece of land with an area of (600) square meters in the most prestigious place in our city of architecture was worth (5) thousand dinars, and today the same piece is worth (one billion) and (500) million dinars. This is how playing with the fate of peoples was in order to weaken them and control them. Its human and oil resources. Today, the economic world is witnessing a qualitative boom in awareness, and very soon it will overthrow the “dollar” and its name will be changed in the coming period to “the dinar” and after a while to “the dollar,” and in the end it will completely lose its value and its printing price will be equal to (a number of cents). In a televised interview with the “”Iraqi President, Engineer Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani””, he uttered a very important phrase (keep the dinar). Today, through my humble vision, I bear witness that the “”Iraqi dinar will return to its lofty economic value””, away from wars and violence, through a new era that imposes its cultural will in the region and the world.

So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Nader From The Mid East Nothing will change in Ramadan month...because in Ramadan...like any religious holiday we don't deal with money...It's against our religion to talk about financial things and money [during Ramadan]...😞 Sandy Ingram The Prime Minister of Iraq is pushing the Iraqi CBI governor hard on the electronic payment system. Jeff Iraq has already revealed to you they'll be revaluing their currency specifically within the month of March. It's not even a secret. Pimpy When we're talking about the deletion of the zeros, it comes off the bank note only. It isn't going to change the exchange rate. The exchange rate is going to be equal in value...You got people out there saying that deleting the zeros does not mean the currency, it only means the exchange rate. That's not accurate... The 25,000 dinar has the same value as a 25 dinar...25,000 dinar times .00076 gives you $19. So when we delete the zeros...25 x .76 is the same exchange rate [$19]...Delete the zeros...is not increasing the exchange rate against other currencies.

  30. Here's some articles related to the $2.73 ER... All articles are rumors & should be treated as such until proven. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. Clare via Moparman: ER Talk. ARTICLE: I have found two exchanges so far showing the wonky movement of the Dinar: the Toronto Stock Exchange & the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The CBOE is explicitly for options contracts. Intercontinental Exchange is still showing the 'official' rate of 1310 (IQD:USD -- the standard notation for ForEx pairing.) The CBOE (USD/IQD) is showing USDIQD at 2.73 -- this means 2.73 Dollars equals 1 dinar. The TSX (IQD/USD) is showing the inverse of that, which means .366 of 1 Dinar equals 1 dollar -- .366 equals $2.73 per 1 Dinar. They're responding in real time in sync. As an example, a 25,000 Dinar note would be $59,250 at that current rate. Just thought it might help to post. No, this isn't the rate of the Dinar currently -- it's futures options, which can run anywhere from 1 day up to 6 months -- but it absolutely shows something is going on with the Dinar skyrocketing. Addendum (I forgot to mention this): USD/IQD means how many Dollars equal a Dinar. IQD/USD (notice the inverse, it's flipped) means how many Dinars equal a Dollar. The 2.73 IS a Dollar amount -- the inverse is how you'd calculate the ER ($1 divided by .366 -- which is $2.73.) Someone was mentioning earlier that's not a Dollar amount, but the USD/IQD way IS a Dollar amount. Clare: Dinar & Dollar.

Clare: Saleh confirms Iraq's monetary sovereignty and reduces the effects of speculation in the parallel market. ARTICLE: The financial advisor to the PM, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, ruled out any effects on the exchange market due to “speculation” of the Dollar in the parallel market. Saleh told a news agency, “The effects on the exchange market no longer represent the real price operations of the basic market forces.” He stated, “Parallel market operations are nothing but illegal speculative acts that profit from accidental profits on individual or marginal transactions and are undertaken by forces of speculators working against the law. This irregular parallel market has become isolated from the power of the official or regular market since the end of the legalization of economic transactions & the prohibition of... Any transactions in Dollars in clearing debts within the national economy between natural & legal persons, as today any internal contracts, transactions or obligations concluded in foreign currency & denominated in a currency other than the national currency are not legally valid.” Saleh noted that "this confirms the monetary sovereignty of our country through the stability of the national currency & dealing in it alone without the participation of foreign currencies in internal economic operations."

This came during his hosting of a discussion session on the sidelines of the 7th session of the activities of the 3rd day of the Al-Rafidain Forum 2024 - Baghdad, under the title “Humanizing the Global Economy.” Al-Jabri said during the hosting that the governmental curriculum developed by the Iraqi government is based on a strategy to keep pace with the development taking place in the global economy, as the government signed bilateral international memorandums of understanding in the field of trade & economics. He stressed that "Iraq is seeking to enter the WTO & the issue is coming soon." The Iraqi government official spoke about the issue of import & export, saying: There is no trade balance between exported & imported materials, as the monetary mass was going to other countries & this is what the current government seeks to address by relying on self-sufficiency. At the beginning of 2024, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced its support for Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, especially after the political obstacles that prevented it were removed.

  33. FROM OTHER SOURCES: Through The Dollar Bill: Washington Continues To Tighten The Noose On The Sudanese Government. ARTICLE: The political & security analyst, Muhammad Al-Yasiri, today, Monday, accused the American administration of continuing its hostile policy towards Iraq. Al-Yasiri said in an interview with a news agency, “The American policy of hostility against Iraq depends on two things. The first is tightening the stranglehold on the flow of Dollars to the CBI & reducing cash liquidity, as well as the terrorist ISIS card.” He pointed out that "the American administration is working hard to restrict the Iraqi government and discourage it from demanding the removal of its occupying forces from the country," adding, "Whoever says that America is a friend of the Iraqi people is subject to the policy of collusion & treason." Here's the article...Political & Security Officer says US is no friend of Iraq.

  34. I have no clue. I researched Ramadan in 1991 & it appears Kuwait reinstated their currency during that time. I'm trying to get factual answers if whether or not it matters when Iraq revalue theirs this month.

  35. Golly I'm on the edge of my seat seeing this fabulous article for at least the 100th time in the last 15 years. The real criminals are never collared. Habib (known to be an assassin) the Falafel 🧆 street vendor, better known to the Underworld as Mustafa the Weasel was nabbed a few years back and didn't spill any beans whatsoever. Regrettably he mysteriously died in an unfortunate acupuncture mishap when an icepick was found protruding from his neck. The acupuncturist whereabouts oddly remains a mystery.
