Stability in the exchange rate is achieved through comprehensive financial and banking reform Articles Samir Al-Nusairi In light of our follow-up to the measures of the Central Bank and the government to control the stability of the exchange rate, we clearly and accurately noticed that there is an organized lobby working against achieving monetary stability, led and implemented by multiple parties linked to speculators and corrupt people who have a special agenda to weaken the national economy and harm it by fabricating news, media statements and economic analyses. It is incomplete and transforms it from reassuring news for the market and citizens into news that confuses the market and creates panic among citizens, and this is what is actually happening now. Which requires clarification here. Almost ten years ago, especially after the financial and security shocks in mid-2014, the culture of relying on the Central Bank to confront economic and financial crises and challenges took root. This was done by using its means and tools related to monetary policy to overcome the government’s lack of liquidity, its inability to pay salaries, and the failure to implement... Its government programs rely on foreign monetary reserves, which in reality are not the government’s reserves, but rather the central bank’s reserves to control the stability of the exchange rate according to the target, cover the local currency in circulation, and cover imports. Because of these accumulated crises, the central bank was previously forced to lend to the government up to 46 trillion dinars during the past years. None of it has been paid so far, which has reflected in this policy exposing the national economy to complex problems. The solution is always the central bank, and it is also held responsible for the problems of other concerned parties, which is not its primary role, as it is not responsible for the deficit in non-oil revenues, the deficit in the balance of payments, and the deficit in... The trade balance is not responsible for the rise and fall of global oil prices. Therefore, the obligatory cash reserve rose and fell due to these wrong policies that were not based on clear and specific economic strategies and approaches. Therefore, the return of stability in the exchange rate to its rates targeted by the Central Bank is achieved with the support of the concerned authorities in the government by activating other productive sectors and reforming the financial and banking sector. And drawing up clear financial policies and in coordination with monetary policy and its currently approved applications and tools, and overcoming the challenges of achieving economic stability, which means achieving stability in the financial system and the monetary system. This is not only the duty of the central bank alone, but rather it is a fundamental duty of financial policy and the government’s methodology in managing the economy and activating sources of national income without Oil, supporting, protecting and encouraging local production, activating dealing in the Iraqi dinar in all internal monetary trading activities, and expanding the use of electronic payment methods whenever possible. The expectations of the Central Bank and specialists that the exchange rate will return to a stable state requires time, which we hope will not be long, despite the daily and new procedures adopted by the Central Bank in issuing packages and instructions and taking daily executive measures for the purpose of finding facilities and openness to all segments that need the US dollar in foreign transactions at the official rate. He concluded a series of negotiations and agreements with the US Treasury, the US Federal Reserve, and some international correspondent banks to regulate foreign trade with China, India, Europe, the Emirates, and Turkey, and to adhere to the standards of international banking transactions. We affirm that the criterion adopted and confirmed by the Central Bank and specialists in achieving this is the availability of cash reserves of foreign currency exceeding 100 billion dollars and the continued flow of dollar revenues from oil sales on a daily basis in accordance with the quantities planned to be marketed in 2023 and at the prices of the product that are expected to continue at their current limits, or as energy experts expect that Prices exceed $100 at the end of this year. 98 views Added 10/15/2023 - 10:55 AM

The Middle East conflict sends shock waves through global markets 2023-10-15 03:21 Shafaq News/ Economic experts and analysts expect that global markets will witness more ripple effects from the conflict in the Middle East, and they are monitoring the situation to see if the conflict will attract other countries that can raise oil prices, which will push the flow of capital to safe assets. Israel continues to prepare for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which is run by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), after asking the residents of Gaza City to evacuate and head south. At the same time, the Israeli National Security Advisor warned the Lebanese Hezbollah group against igniting a war on a second front. “It appears we are headed toward a large-scale ground invasion of Gaza and significant loss of life,” said Ben Cahill, senior research fellow in the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Any time a conflict of this magnitude erupts, there will be a market reaction.” Over the past week, the impact of fears related to the conflict appeared in asset prices, which contributed to the decline in stocks on Friday, and the US Standard & Poor’s index fell by 0.5 percent. As for safe haven assets, they witnessed buying waves, as gold rose more than three percent on Friday, and the US dollar touched its highest level in the past week. week. Oil prices jumped about six percent on Friday as investors anticipated the impact of the conflict on supplies from neighboring countries in the world's largest oil-producing region. “If it turns out that the conflict is expanding, oil prices will rise even more,” said Michael Englund, chief economist at Action Economics in Colorado. Bernard Baumol, chief international economist at the Economic Outlook Group in Princeton, New Jersey, suggested that the expansion of the conflict would also cause inflation to rise and thus accelerate the pace of interest rate hikes around the world. But he pointed out that the United States may be the exception to this scenario because foreign investors will pump their capital into what they consider a safe haven during global conflicts. He said about what might happen in the United States, “Interest rates may fall... and we expect the dollar to rise.” Other types of fuel may also be affected. For example, in light of the latest developments, Chevron announced the cessation of natural gas exports through a major pipeline that passes under the sea between Israel and Egypt. “The biggest risk to the oil market is that this conflict attracts neighboring countries,” said Cahill of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Analysts ruled out that the rise in oil prices would have a significant impact on gas prices in the United States or consumer spending. “Consumers are unlikely to feel a significant impact on gas prices any time soon,” Englund said.
