America releases frozen Iranian assets abroad.. Will the Iraqi electricity crisis be solved? Arabic and international |Today, 16:45 | Baghdad today - follow-up An Iranian official revealed, today, Friday, that the United States of America has allowed the release of two billion dollars from frozen Iranian assets abroad, while the Iranian authorities hope to obtain more than 6 billion dollars from the International Monetary Fund, in circumstances in which the economy suffers from an acute shortage of foreign exchange at the time. The background of the US sanctions, amid questions about whether part of these funds relate to debts owed by Iraq, which needs Iranian gas releases. A member of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Ali Shariati, said in a tweet on “Twitter” that “during the next week (on Monday), two billion dollars will be paid from the rest of the frozen Iranian balances in order to purchase basic commodities,” noting that “the funds that have been released until today have not been were not frozen stocks in South Korea." Shariati concluded his tweet by saying, "We are approaching the main step," without naming it or revealing it, but it is likely that either an agreement will be reached with Washington to revive the nuclear agreement in light of the recent high level of optimism, following the visit of Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq to Tehran, last Sunday and Monday. His country is a major mediator between Iran and the United States of America. Or he means the possibility of reaching a prisoner exchange deal between Tehran and Washington soon, in light of the emergence of a number of data regarding that, finally, according to which more than $ 7 billion will be released, the volume of Iranian frozen assets in South Korea, which are the revenues of Iran's oil exports to it before Washington imposed sanctions. strict on Tehran as of May 2018. Shariati had also spoken a few days ago that the Iranian government had finally paid the dues of Turkmenistan for gas exports to Iran, through part of its frozen balances with the Iraqi "TBI" bank. He added that Iran paid Turkmenistan $1.6 billion of that money at the Iraqi Bank, noting that it had also paid $600 million to Saudi Arabia for the costs of its pilgrimages from those balances. Tehran does not announce the size of its assets abroad, which have been frozen by countries that have trade relations with Iran due to US sanctions and pressure. This money is mainly the proceeds of its oil exports during the past years, after the signing of the nuclear agreement in 2015. There are conflicting numbers about the size of these funds, from 40 billion dollars to more than 100 billion dollars, of which about 18 billion dollars are in Iraq, 3 billion dollars in Japan, and 7 billion dollars in South Korea. Iran has tried a lot in various ways, during the past years, to release its money abroad, but its attempts and pressures on these countries, especially South Korea and Iraq, were not crowned with success in facing the pressures that these countries are exposed to from the United States to avoid that. However, during the last two years, Washington has allowed the gradual release of some frozen Iranian assets abroad, in the context of managing the crisis with Tehran, and preventing the situation from escalating. Facilities from the IMF Meanwhile, the Iranian government is seeking to obtain resources from the International Monetary Fund to reduce the severity of the foreign exchange crisis it is facing, which contributed to raising monthly inflation to record rates two months ago, after it approached 70%. And the governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Mohammad Reza Farzin, began visiting Washington, last Tuesday, in a visit that is the first of its kind in decades, and it is continuing, in order to hold talks with the International Monetary Fund to obtain financial facilities. Potential oil investment between Saudi Arabia and Iran In remarks reported by Iranian media, Farzin said that Iran could obtain $6.7 billion to support its economic situation "quickly and with the least administrative protocols." During the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the previous Iranian government had sought to obtain facilities from the IMF, but its efforts failed in light of an American refusal to do so. The visit of the Omani Sultan, and news of the release of Iranian assets abroad, as well as the possibility of obtaining facilities from the International Monetary Fund, contributed to a slight improvement of the Iranian riyal against the dollar, which recorded 505 thousand riyals yesterday, Thursday, compared to 520 thousand riyals in previous trading.
