This is the MOST significant article we have seen to date……..remember ALL of the articles we have read about WHY the auctions have been held and one the reoccurring reasons has to try to stabilize the exchange rate. Saleh has come out and admitted that the rate is manufactured through/by the auctions….now we have this article saying we are going to see a FLOAT. It sounds like they are talking about managed float but never the less we are going to witness a significant rate change. The music that was to my ears is them saying we are going to see a reversal on which currency will shows signs of scarcity…..ALL these years there has been a fight for citizens to get their hands on the dollar now they’re saying that won’t be the case anymore…..the rolls are going to be reversed. EVERYONE get ready we have been waiting a LONG for this ride to end….For me it has been since February of 2009….I’m not claiming it’s going to be .01 ……. .10…… or a dollar BUT we are definitely going to see a change.

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 Rod Steele There has never been this big a delegation from Iraq over here before… and so many partnership agreements being signed at one time. ...All the agreements being activated are about the Iraqi economy... They are also visiting in Michigan and Houston where Iraqi populations and Iraqi banks are. Also Bush Sr. arranged for the Iraqi CBI servers to be located in Houston... The US banks are ready… all the staff is in place. All sounds very positive and silence these days is golden for sure...

After 21 years of the dollar auction... Iraq is close to closing the window amid reassurances and warnings Time: 04/16/2024 14:08:28 Read: 19,682 times Iraq is approaching the end of the closure of the dollar selling window at the Central Bank - which has been controversial - over the past two decades. The Central Bank's management plans to gradually cancel the dollar auction during the year 2024, leading to its complete cancellation by the end of the year, and to maintain it for audit and statistical purposes, in an effort to enable Iraqi banks to establish and establish solid banking relationships with the global and regional banking sector in order to achieve the sobriety of the Iraqi banking sector and full commitment. According to international standards and requirements. Iraq relies on the platform for selling currency directly to local banks and companies, which was previously known as the daily dollar auction, as one of the mechanisms for preserving the value of the Iraqi dinar and combating speculative operations in the parallel market. The visit of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani to Washington provided a strong impetus in closing the Central Bank window and moving towards direct commercial banking transactions. According to the joint statement of the Iraqi-American discussions headed by Al-Sudani and President Joe Biden, the latter “discussed Iraq’s advanced efforts to reform the financial and banking sectors, which help link Iraq to the international economy and increase trade while protecting the Iraqi people from the harmful effects of corruption and money laundering, and what was achieved during the years 2023 and 2024.” “With banks in Iraq expanding (correspondent relationships) with international financial institutions to enable trade financing.” The statement notes that "the majority of trade financing operations are now carried out through these channels." Iraq and the United States pledged their commitment to "strengthen their cooperation to achieve greater transparency and cooperation against money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, corruption, and sanctioned activities that could undermine the integrity of the financial systems in both countries." The two countries expressed their commitment "to support the Central Bank of Iraq in ending the electronic auction platform for international financial transfers by the end of 2024, through direct dealing between licensed banks in Iraq and approved global correspondent banks, to achieve this transformation that will connect Iraqis and Iraqi companies to the international economic system." In this regard, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed to {Al-Furat News} that the agreement of Iraq and the United States to end the electronic platform of the Central Bank of Iraq for selling the dollar at the official price means the cancellation and end of the foreign currency window that was established since 2003. Saleh said, “It is not One of the functions of central banks in the world is to carry out financing operations for foreign trade in their countries. Central banks are banks that work on monetary stability as they are banks that issue the national currency, as well as the function of supervising banking activity and ensuring its safety and stability. He added, "But Iraq's rentier conditions, and because of the foreign cash flows entering the country through which foreign exchange reserves originating from oil export revenues are created, such a necessity was imposed in financing foreign trade for the private sector through the establishment of the foreign currency window (auction) a month ago." October 2003, during which this window played a dual role in the work of the Central Bank of Iraq’s monetary policy, both in controlling local liquidity levels (monetary sterilization) and the so-called open market process, which requires exchanging the dinar for the dollar for the purposes of external transfer related to financing domestic trade. In addition to achieving the goal of controlling the stability of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate at the same time.” Saleh noted that, “In order to return to the principles of financing trade through the commercial banks themselves directly by opening documentary credits with correspondent banks abroad, their external accounts opened with their correspondents from foreign banks will be fed with their requests for foreign currency through the Central Bank of Iraq in order to enable them to... Opening documentary credits to finance foreign trade to the private sector in a more transparent manner and at the same time subject to international compliance rules through the role that these international banks with high credit ratings will play.” He explained, "What practically means canceling the auction or the foreign currency window that was established in October 2003 and its expected lifespan was two years, but unfortunately it continued for more than twenty years!" He continued, "Based on the above, the efficiency of using foreign currency will undoubtedly increase through continued control of local liquidity levels and the imposition of stability in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate, but in a different way that is consistent with the new banking applications fully approved in the year 2024." On the other hand, specialists warn against stopping the platform for selling the dollar, especially with the continuing delay in Iraqi banking systems and the failure to activate Iraqi commercial banks’ dealings with international banks, because this will lead to a monetary disaster that will ravage the Iraqi market. But Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, the economic expert, downplayed the seriousness of these warnings. He told {Al-Furat News}, "The subject of the agreement with the American side does not mean that the currency auction will end, but rather it will return to work according to the old mechanism for enhancing balances. However, the Iraqi banks that will be entitled to external transfer must be linked to solid correspondent banks." He stated, "The mechanism will not change. Rather, the Iraqi Bank will be transformed into a correspondent bank, and its balance will be enhanced by the Central Bank." Al-Mashhadani ruled out, "The exchange rates in the markets were affected because they are not directly related to these matters. Rather, the decline and rise are due to trade with the sanctioned countries, for which there are no solutions because they are financed from the parallel market, and without solving them, there cannot be stability in exchange rates." Another economic expert believes it is necessary to tighten control to prevent the "leakage" of the dollar. Bassem Jamil Antoine told {Al-Furat News}, “When the dollar crisis is addressed scientifically, economically, and financially, there will be a floatation of the currency through supply and demand, so that the citizen will obtain the quantities of dollars to the extent he wants, as the scarcity is now in the dinar and not in the dollar from which it is received.” On a daily basis, no less than 300 to 400 million dollars.” He stated, "This process goes to the financial stability of the country, as the import is through correspondent banks that transfer money amounts, and this process requires follow-up, time, and knowing the fate of the money." Antoine explained that "the process of floating the currency must be under conditions, and Iraq differs from other countries because its financial imports in dollars are very large, and there must be control over the process, stopping the leakage of the dollar, and not leaving it floating under the freedom of speculators. There will be difficulty in achieving balance, and this matter needs a rule." Productivity away from imports, creating job opportunities and ending unemployment, and this process requires more time and strict oversight to stop the currency auction, which has greatly destroyed the country,” he said. https://alforatnews.iq/news/بعد-21-عاماً-من-مزاد-الدولار-العراق-يقترب-من-غلق-النافذة-وسط-تطمينات-وتحذيرات Share if you like

End of the auction...beginning of the blessings!

Gonna hold it open till the end of the month. There is some money to be made over there, but not when their currency is worth less than toilet paper. Plus, with Iraq wanting to diversify on energy like he said, they are about to explode with work. Their currency is about to explode too. It’s the only way to get everything rolling like they want.

Mnt Goat The news just keeps getting better and better. ...my CBI contact again confirmed to me that this meeting of Iraq with the Whitehouse had to take place and could be seen as a healing meeting between the two countries. One issue was of course the status of leaving or the pullout of US forces. This issue is clear, as the US forces do not plan to leave Iraq again and destabilize the middle east, especially in these turbulent times... don’t worry it is not going to happen any time soon as long-term plans are being negotiated to give Iraq what it wants and give the US what it wants... It was Iran & Iran-Iraqi in country proxies supporting the removal of US forces from Iraq, not the Iraqis or GOI. Sudani may have something to say about that. US forces will stay. Why...because Iraq lives in a very dangerous neighborhood...they know it & so do we. Iraq needs the umbrella of protection of the US.

On the only hand, I like this, but ending the auctions by the “end of the year” doesn’t feel all that “close” to me .. 😑

Let's see what happens when they are all back from the US visit. I'm Positive thinking, but i am also grounded. 🙏 🍻

Israel hit the military bases that launched the missles last Saturday, which gave a warning to Iran that they can easily hit their nuclear sites if this continues.

Agreed 💯

israel just hit iran....unconfirmed reports. world war III has started count down to EBS and 10 days of darkness. It had to be this way....watch russia

Just more foot dragging by disinterested parties

Oops, autocorrect made it “only” hand when I clearly typed ONE hand. 🙄

Graham is a total war monger. I believe he’s profiting immensely off of the billions $$$$ we keep sending to Ukraine. 👎

The plan all along with the Russia-China-Iran Axis is to start wars on three different fronts in the Far East, Middle East & Eastern EU. This will bog down & thin out US forces on three different fronts, thus making it easier to defeat the US. We will take their bait...the trap they are setting up. The lack of US leadership & vision are too blind to see what's coming. The world has been made less safe under this Administration & our foes are right there to take advantage of that weakness & indecisiveness. nIMHO.

Somebody kick pimpy off the roller coaster please!

I really hope your wrong SB. I really do, but thanks for the heads up. pp

But what about the big screens being set up.dor the announcement? You mean that wasn't real? Lol

Correct however now 10 years later after Shabibi’s plan was derailed by Maliki, Iraq is in far better shape to RV at a much higher rate today then what the plan was 10 years ago!!! They are producing Atleast twice as many barrels of oil Per Day now then back then and the price of oil is also close to double!! So I fully believe the plan was around $1.17 per dollar so now let’s just call it $2.34 per dollar and call it a day!!! lol

I see TRUMP met with President or Prime Minister of Poland......to discuss NATO funding and expansion.....fancy meeting with a non President and current CIC!

many great annoucements just not the one we want! YET!⏰

well and truly up to his pants in Ukrainian shite with FJB

also oil majors...

This is all good, but we are talking about the biggest foot dragging, knuckle dragging procrastinators on the planet! A lot of talk...need to see some action!

“Things are moving towards complete control of the dollar exchange rate, and we may witness a clear and rapid decline in the coming days.” The only way for a rapid decline and complete control of the dollar exchange rate is ending the exchange control. Go end of exchange control Go end of daily auction Go free market economy Go STRONGER DINAR

It's a whole lotta cause with zero effect. No casualties. A regime posturing to their population. I don't see any escalation beyond this. There was no rockets fired into Baghdad that I see. Iraq will side with the west on this and denounce the Iranian proxies operating in Iraq. IMHO

Iran has the right to defend its self…Every drone was intercepted…. Israel has to go…. I don’t have a problem against Jews unless you support the Ai state of Israel… they are draining this country dry… we as a hard working nation are first to support everyone cause we contribute and we are getting hustle , but when it comes to the citizens of America we are dead last… and then they pull out the communist, socialist and dictatorship card… when Americans need

Iraqi PM visits Houston to discuss Iraq’s future in oil and gas IraqiNews April 19, 2024 976 4 min Houston (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani recently visited Houston, Texas, as part of an official visit to the United States. Al-Sudani participated in a round table discussion with big US firms specialized in the oil and gas industry. The Arab-American Bilateral Chamber of Commerce hosted this conference, which highlighted Iraq’s commitment to forming strategic alliances on a global scale.
