Adviser to the Prime Minister: The decline of the dollar is an indicator of the strength of the dinar and a tangible success of the economic policy Time: 03/21/2024 13:48:21 Read: 3,809 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed the strength of the dinar against the dinar after a relative decline in the exchange rate. Saleh told {Al-Furat News} agency, “We indicate the strength of the Iraqi dinar, expressed in the decline in the parallel market rates of exchange in favor of the official exchange rate, a tangible success in the cohesion of the country’s economic policy in its three aspects: monetary, financial, and commercial, in providing a coherent climate of stability in the general level of prices.” And containing seasonal price fluctuations for high-demand items, specifically providing basic food commodities that have low price elasticities of demand because they are necessary commodities associated with consumption and daily living.” He noted "the importance and speed of customs procedures, which were represented by (reducing customs tariffs and diversifying imports without quantitative limits for necessary goods) as part of the performance of the financial policy in supporting price stability and ensuring the supply of food and essential goods and production supplies at the official exchange rate and in accordance with the requirements of the national economy." The Parliamentary Finance Committee had expected the dollar price to continue to decline as the results of the measures taken by the Central Bank of Iraq to limit the rise in the foreign currency began to appear. The dollar exchange rate a few days ago was about 1,500 or 1,490 thousand dinars to the dollar. From..

Sudanese advisor reveals the benefits of Iraq joining the European Development Bank Economy 11:26 - 2024-03-22 Today, Friday, the Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, summarized the benefits of Iraq joining the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Saleh said, in a press statement: “There is a positive syndrome between building the development strategy that is embodied today by the government’s philosophy of launching a development initiative with comprehensive sectoral economic ties, which is called the (Development Road) project, which is the corridor and strategic project that connects the European Union countries in Asia via... Iraq and the Gulf sea lanes and vice versa on the one hand, and the requirements for implementing the various stages of the development path through the role occupied by Iraq’s membership in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development on the other hand, especially in the preferences for obtaining European technology and ensuring the role of European Union countries’ companies in implementing the development path in all its aspects, whether In infrastructure, industrial production projects and various logistics services. He added, "Membership provides our country with the possibility of obtaining concessional financing and technical assistance and European requirements in supporting development activity in our country in its various aspects and sectors," adding that "Iraq's accession to membership in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development represents a broad vision that carries strategic dimensions in the cohesion of the economic development climate in Iraq, in accordance with the requirements of the government program and the national development plan 2024-2028, while embodying our country’s needs for the sustainability of international cooperation in reconstruction, development and sustainable development activity in the long term.” https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/20111

Iraqi banking system grapples with trust deficit, US sanctions ReportBreakingUSIraqi Banking 2024-03-21 11:15 Font Shafaq News/ Despite the efforts of the government, Iraq's banking system efforts to lift itself again continues to face a lack of trust among citizens, which ultimately hinders efforts to promote financial inclusion and undermines the overall health of the financial sector. Several factors, however, contribute to this trust deficit, according to economic experts. Omar Al-Halbousi, an economic analyst, cites the collapse of several longstanding banks as a primary concern. These failures left depositors without their money, despite attempts to seek compensation through the Central Bank and Iraqi judiciary. In an interview with Shafaq News Agency, Al-Halbousi argued that the CBI's "inadequacy in effectively overseeing and regulating banking operations" pushes citizens towards keeping their cash at home instead of depositing it in banks. Additionally, the ownership structure of some private banks raises red flags. Entities implicated in corruption or foreign ownership with unclear motives deter potential depositors. Further complicating the situation are recent US sanctions imposed on a subset of Iraqi private banks. These sanctions exacerbate the existing anxieties of the potential depositers. Citizens worry about the potential freezing or instability of funds held in sanctioned banks, particularly since many Iraqi banks rely heavily on the US dollar for their operations. The lack of a diversified investment portfolio within the banking sector further amplifies these concerns. "The citizens' reluctance to deposit their funds in banks increases alongside the rise in sanctions imposed on banks," Al-Halbousi said. The US Treasury Department has sanctioned 32 out of the 72 private banks operating in Iraq. According to Al-Halbousi, these sanctions fall into two categories. The first category restricts sanctioned banks from conducting transactions in US dollars, although they can still operate in other currencies. The second category involves more severe sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). These sanctions target banks involved in serious financial crimes, including money laundering, terrorist financing, evasion of US sanctions, dollar smuggling, and the use of counterfeit commercial bills. A recent example is Al-Huda Islamic Bank, which faces a complete ban on dollar transactions and is isolated from foreign banks due to these contraventions. Al-Halbousi argued that the CBI's failure to adequately supervise banks and address illicit activities led to the US imposing sanctions. He warned that the list of sanctioned entities is likely to grow, with additional banks at risk for involvement in financial crimes. Companies and individuals acting as fronts for terrorist organizations could also face sanctions. Official data from the Central Bank paints a concerning picture. As of December 2023, the total amount of cash issued by the CBI stands at 102 trillion Iraqi dinars. However, only 60 trillion dinars are deposited in government banks, with a meager 13 trillion dinars deposited in private banks. This leaves a staggering 93 trillion dinars circulating outside the formal banking system. Ahmed Eid, a researcher specializing in economic affairs, emphasizes the negative impact of this imbalance on Iraq's financial inclusion goals and overall economic development. For this situation, he blames mismanagement, politically motivated decisions, and a lack of robust governance and control mechanisms within the banking sector. Eid points to the slow adoption of modern technologies for financial transactions and the inadequate implementation of electronic payment systems as additional factors hindering trust. These shortcomings and a lack of attractive incentives for using digital financial tools discourage citizens from utilizing formal banking services. The researcher confirmed a widespread preference among Iraqis to keep their money at home rather than deposit it in banks. This stems primarily from a lack of trust in many banks, often perceived as affiliated with influential parties and susceptible to potential bankruptcy. Additionally, government banks often fail to offer competitive interest rates or attractive facilities to incentivize deposits. Dollars or Dinars? Deposits in the Iraqi banking system can be made in US dollars or Iraqi dinars. According to economist Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikhli, deposits in Iraqi dinars are not directly affected by US sanctions and function without significant disruptions. "When a citizen deposits funds in a bank for a current account or an interest-bearing account, the money remains within the internal banking channels of that specific bank," he said. "This means that withdrawals are also processed in the same currency." However, Al-Sheikhli acknowledged potential delays in accessing deposited funds. "Previously, citizens could approach the CBI directly to withdraw dollars in case of delays by their banks. However, current regulations restrict dollar withdrawals from the Central Bank." "There are potential consequences to these limitations, he added. "Banks could face penalties or even license revocation if they fail to fulfill their obligations to depositors." Liquidity Concerns and Efforts to Restore Confidence "The emergence of ISIS in 2014 significantly impacted Iraqi banks' liquidity. Many banks held letters of guarantee from companies that ultimately defaulted on their obligations," he said. "The resulting confiscation of these guaranteed amounts significantly strained the liquidity of some institutions. While larger banks with substantial reserves weathered the storm, smaller banks faced setbacks." The Central Bank does hold a portion of banks' capital as reserves, which it can utilize for compensation in certain situations. Furthermore, a deposit guarantee company established by the CBI approximately four years ago aims to mitigate potential shortfalls experienced by banks. However, this mechanism is primarily designed to address scenarios like the bankruptcy of Basra International Bank, which is currently undergoing efforts to revive its operations. Al-Sheikhli points to a recent development that could impact dollar-denominated transactions. "For the first time, the CBI, rather than the US administration, restricted eight banks from accessing the dollar auction window. While one of these banks, Al-Huda Islamic Bank, was singled out by the US Treasury Department due to alleged ties with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the remaining seven banks were subjected to a temporary audit and oversight process by the CBI." This move, along with the planned phasing out of the currency sale window and electronic platform throughout 2024, aims to reduce reliance on the US dollar and diversify the Iraqi currency basket. As Al-Sheikhli explained, private banks abroad have opened accounts with reputable foreign banks, enabling them to conduct a broader range of banking activities, excluding dollar transactions. Central Bank Oversight and International Standards The Central Bank of Iraq is responsible for overseeing banking operations in the country. This mandate is established by Law No. 56 of 2004 and reinforced by Law No. 39 of 2015 concerning Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism, which came into effect in 2016. Following these regulations, the CBI has implemented global compliance standards. Banks are now required to appoint dedicated directors tasked with monitoring all financial transactions to ensure adherence to international benchmarks. Economist Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani emphasized the importance of this shift towards international compliance. However, Al-Mashhadani acknowledged the challenges of achieving full compliance. Many Iraqi banks, particularly those without significant US counterparts, struggle to meet the required standards. Even for banks with US connections, convincing American authorities that their activities solely focus on trade financing and are not involved in illicit activities remains difficult. A significant factor contributing to this difficulty is Iraq's heavy reliance on imports from Iran, estimated at $25-30 million daily. The lack of reciprocal trade with Iran necessitates these imports, yet Iraqi exports to Iran remain negligible. This creates a situation where Iraqi businesses involved in Iranian imports require access to financial resources, raising concerns from US authorities. To address these concerns, the CBI recently instructed banks to enlist the services of reputable international auditing firms to review their operations and programs over the past three years. These independent audits, conducted by firms recommended by the US itself, aim to provide credible assessments of Iraqi banks' financial activities. "A further step towards international legitimacy involves bank classification by internationally recognized rating agencies like S&P Global Ratings and Moody's. Reports generated by these institutions carry significant weight and can help build trust with US authorities."

Yep…Iraq is misinformation and redirection….as for this year what I know is this the deep state and dems will not want an election, they want trump gone! They have warned us about false flag ushering in cyberattacks, threat of nuclear attacks, massive earthquakes, lockdowns, internet outages,10 days of darkness and reset back to gold standard. With over 22 states removing sales tax on gold and silver this is big, gold is slowly creeping up. Trump has said collapse will happen under Biden….trump also has said as well as q I think that 2025 will be year long celebration!

I totally understand their reluctance to use banks in Iraq. Look at Warka Bank...open sometimes, closed sometimes, answer emails sometimes, don't answer emails sometimes, give your money back ... Never! Just think how many banks in Iraq probably operate the same.

@Laid Back I have to agree. They will only have minimal success unless they delete the zeros and change the rate.

Look like a percentage of the Iraq citizens are not willing to deposit the chunky money in the banking system. We know the CBI has been trying for many years different ways to bring in the chunky money. 93 trillion IQD "the window for selling the currency will gradually end during the year 2024, and the same will be the case for the electronic platform” All the above makes me believe, we are close to see the deletion of the 000 as the only way to collect the 93 trillion IQD. Go delete of the 000 Go LD’s notes Go end of currency window Go stronger Dinar

Hopefully you are right. Trust me I want off this crazy train as bad as anyone! Me myself and I believe everything that is coming out of Iraq is either misinformation or scuttle-butt. There is just no reliable source of information as to what is really going there! JMHO 🤠

New Steel Plant and Airport for Diwaniyah 22nd March 2024 in Construction & Engineering In Iraq, Investment, Iraq Industry & Trade News, Iraq Transportation News By John Lee. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, has chaired the sixth meeting of the Supreme Committee for Reconstruction and Investment this week, discussing service and residential investment opportunities in various governorates. At the meeting, approval was given for a request from the National Investment Commission (NIC) to establish an iron and steel factory and an airport in Diwaniyah. Normal advertising conditions are to be waived for each of these projects, on condition that the governorate and its Investment Commission bear responsibility for selecting the companies to implement the them.

my beliefs have not changed, same for HCL to me means shite, if passes all good but i dont care

The only thing left to do with these sand bagging nit wits is to deal them a blow they'll never forget.

Ah burboun. It brings out the best in me. Until the morning. Lol

I keep getting “wealth management“ emails from JP Morgan/Chase. I don’t have a Chase bank account but credit cards through Chase. Maybe they know something I don’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

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 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: It's going to float once it gets to 1.32. FRANK: I disagree because it's already at 1.32. It will float IMO a little higher. The RI will take it to $3.22 IMO. But because it's been 20 years I strongly believe IMO they may cap it around $4.25...The other currencies around the Middle East will not complain if the Iraqi dinar is higher than their rate...Frank is out of his mind if he still thinks that the IQD will go that high. Times & circumstances have changed, but he still has his head where the sun doesn't shine. .... JMHO ....RON MarkZ I think the news is getting restricted as we get closer. I think the quiet is a positive sign. A number of sources were given cautionary notices to be quiet or NDA’s. So to me it’s a great sign that things are quiet...Contacts in Iraq and around the world still think we are within days…but they have thought that before….so not going to jump out of my skin just yet. The quiet is probably the thing that is the most encouraging to me right now.

Yeah, I’ll make a chunky deposit alright. In Vegas at a Bunny Ranch.

Pimpy Think about it. The current Iraqi dinar of 25,000 dinar - they delete the zeros off, now becomes 25 dinar and then all of a sudden they change the exchange rate from where it is to $3.22 per dinar. This is good for the Iraqi people, their purchasing power has changed. They can get a lot more things bought with their money. But that doesn't help us because they lopped the zeros off...so instead of getting a $3.22 rate against a 25000, we're only going to get that $3.22 rate against a 25 dinar. Instead of getting millions you get thousands...At least be aware that that's possible. Iraq has said that both currencies would be used. Which means that they won't be lopping it. There is no way in my opinion that they will lop!

As you are very aware markb57 , up till now the american dollar was doing all the heavy lifting for iraq , supposedly it has changed to iqd but who really knows whats taking place but im thinking if transactions are all electronic - digital now its just numbers on a computer screen if u know what i mean ... all the best to us all

So last year they passed a 3 year budget but we are now coming to the end of march 2024 and they have hardly spent any of the 2023 budget , have no idea when they will pass this years budget and even although it was all passed last year they can't get a budget together. You seriously couldn't make this up.
