Sadr claims largest bloc, promises nationalist government 7 hours ago Dilan Sirwan https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/12102021-amp?__twitter_impression=true ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Monday claimed victory in Iraq’s parliamentary election and, striking a nationalist tone, warned foreign countries not to interfere in the process of forming the government. “Thank God who has blessed his largest bloc with reform, a bloc that is neither Eastern nor Western, but Iraqi,” Sadr said in a televised address on Monday night. Preliminary results showed Sadr’s movement leading by a large margin, securing over 70 seats in the parliament. The election was marred by a record-low turnout as voters and parties boycotted, citing concerns of fraud and disillusionment with the political system and politicians seen as corrupt. Sadr sent strong messages to the international community and Iranian-backed militias that operate outside of government control. “All embassies are welcomed as long as they do not interfere in Iraqi affairs and the formation of the government. If they interfere we will have a diplomatic response or even a popular response,” he said. The United States and Iran compete for strategic influence in Iraq. For years Sadr has been on the frontlines, calling on Western powers to leave Iraq. He has also now turned his eye towards Iranian-backed militias opposed to Western and especially American presence in the country. “From now on, all arms should be in the hands of the state, and its use outside of that should be forbidden, even for those who call themselves the resistance,” he said, referring to the militias. The populist cleric, who earlier this year withdrew from the election, throwing the whole process into doubt until he was enticed back into the race, will now be the main force in the formation of the government and has started giving out promises to the people. “All corrupt people will be punished wherever they are,” Sadr said. Members of his bloc, however, have been linked to corruption and ineptitude. Former health minister Hassan al-Tamimi was forced to resign after deadly hospital fires in Baghdad and Nasiriyah earlier this year, blamed on the ministry’s negligence. Sadr also promised to fix some of Iraq’s financial problems. “We will work on increasing the value of the Iraqi dinar against the value of international currencies,” he said. He had previously expressed his concern over the parliamentary decision in December to devalue the dinar. “The Central Bank and all other banks are prisoners of corruption and the corrupt. The government and parliament must seek specialized methods to end this and liberalize it immediately,” he tweeted at the time. Sadr led the largest bloc in the outgoing parliament. In the 2018 election, his Sairoon alliance, a coalition of Sadrists, the communist party, and some smaller groups, secured 54 seats.

Iraq's Govt Interventions Prompt Improvement in Forex Reserves 8th October 2021 in Iraq Banking & Finance News By Olivia Bridge. https://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2021/10/08/iraqs-govt-interventions-prompt-improvement-in-forex-reserves/ Despite recent tumultuous times and a weakening economy in Iraq, government is said to be implementing reforms that are aimed at reviving its ailing currency. Forex trading in Iraq While forex trading in Iraq is still a relatively new concept, it is gradually being embraced by nationals. Reports on the matter suggest that more and more people in the country are starting to open up to the financial markets and explore alternative investment options. Given the widespread interest in forex trading across the globe, it is no surprise that citizens now have more access to trading resources, analytical tools and platforms. Naturally, before getting involved in forex trading, one needs to do the necessary research on trading currencies and American Dollars; the latter is particularly beneficial because the USD forms part of all major currency pairs and is the basis of the majority of international trading activity. The steps to follow to get started with forex trading are quite universal, however, in Iraq, there are some additional considerations worth noting. For example, industry insiders advise working with an international broker that is registered with a recognised foreign currency authority. The other common steps include opening a trading account after selecting a broker; downloading your trading software as some brokers require third-party software; funding your account through linking it to your bank account of choice; and then lastly, making your first trade. It is worth noting, though, that it may take a few days for the funds to reflect in your trading account. Thereafter, one need only closely monitor the markets and trade using a chosen strategy from the wide selection of strategies that are available and advised by those in the field. Government intervention and its impact Known to many is that forex and currencies are heavily impacted by global economic and political conditions, amongst other factors, and the same applies to Iraq and its trading activities. In recent times, the fluctuations in oil prices and the conditions of 2020 exacerbated the country's ailing economy and weakened the Iraqi Dinar in the financial markets. This put pressure on the government to implement certain policies and reforms to give it a fighting chance on the global markets. Over and above the economic policies to steer the country's finances in the right direction, the government also introduced reforms against corruption which, according to reports, are proving to be quite beneficial to the country's foreign reserves. The measures being taken against the alleged corruption and wastage in the country has given Iraq a fighting chance and, more importantly, has increased investor confidence in Iraq to an extent, although it is still reeling from recent events and global developments. In early 2021, it was reported that the crackdown on corruption helped to boost the country's forex reserves to approximately $60 billion. Moreover, the crude oil price fluctuations have also had an impact on how the Iraqi Dinar is performing on the global markets, particularly relative to some of the strongest currencies on the markets, such as the USD, CAD, EUR and JPY. Given that Iraq relies on oil to fund nearly all of its state budget, according to reports, the country remains invested in the demand for it and its pricing, as it could either make or break all the efforts and initiatives that are currently being implemented to strengthen and revive the country's economy and currency.

SULAIMANI — A source from Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Ministry of Finance told NRT that Iraq’s federal government has transferred a stipend of 200 billion Iraqi dinars ($137 million) to the KRG. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has not yet been made public by the KRG. On Sunday, KRG Spokesperson Jotiyar Adil said that the stipend had not yet been sent because of technical issues. The stipend is not a part of the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which has not been fully implemented because of persistent disagreements between Erbil and Baghdad over oil and customs income. Rather, it is based on side deal between the KRG and Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi that went into effect in July. The KRG has said that it is only able to pay full public sector salaries because of the stipend. It had been either missing monthly salary payments entirely or cutting them by nearly a quarter between March 2020 and July 2021. Public servants at some ministries have not yet been paid the September salary disbursement, which was supposed to be given out to employees starting on September 25. Ensuring that public servants are paid is critical to the electoral campaigns of the ruling parties in the Kurdistan Region. Voters go to the polls on October 10 to elect members of the Council of Representatives. (NRT Digital Media)

+ - SULAIMANI — Iraq’s Ministry of Oil said on Sunday (September 26) that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) should hand over 250,000 barrels of oil per day or its cash equivalent to the federal government at the price set by the country’s oil marketer SOMO. The KRG and the federal government have been locked in a long-standing dispute over oil revenue and the federal budget. Under the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which passed the Council of Representatives this spring, Erbil is required to send 250,000 barrels of oil or its monetary equivalent to Baghdad in return for its budget share. The KRG has refused to send any oil or money and so the federal government has withheld budget transfers. A side deal has sent 220 billion Iraqi dinars ($137 million) per month to pay public salaries, but both sides are clear that this stipend is not part of the budget. Oil minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar also told the state-owned Iraqi News Agency (INA) that once the KRG comes into compliance with the budget, SOMO will send all required files and documents to the Ministry of Finance to record the amount of income the KRG should receive. Abdul-Jabar added that the federal government has reached an agreement with the KRG’s Minister of Natural Resources Kamal Altrushi to send one million liters of regular gasoline a day to the Region in order to combat local shortages.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraq on Wednesday held a US-funded finance conference to discuss economic policy and the promotion of electronic banking services across the country, as well as providing broader business opportunities in the financial sector. Several officials, including the US ambassador, were among the attendees. The two-day Iraq Finance Expo was opened at Baghdad’s Al Rasheed Hotel on Wednesday, in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the Ministry of Finance, to allow access to new business opportunities in financial and banking sectors as well as financial technology and digital transformation in the country. Iraq’s White Paper, a series of economic reforms introduced by the government in October, “identifies Iraq’s oil-dependent state-dominated command economy and weak private sector as central economic problems,” Ambassador Matthew Tueller said during the conference, reaffirming the US assistance to Iraq in its journey of rebuilding itself from years of war. In the financial sector, the monopoly of Rasheed and Rafidain bank, and Trade Bank of Iraq “which holds 85% percent of deposits” was identified as an issue by the US official. The Iraqi Central Bank announced in early February that it has given permission for a “first of its kind” electronic banking service to be rolled out across the country over the next few years. The new service seeks to revolutionize the way Iraqis spend money by providing an alternative to the cash economy currently prevalent across the country. Similar projects as part of a growing financial technology industry have been hugely successful across the world in countries where the cash economy was entrenched. In Kenya, M-Pesa, a mobile phone-based money transfer, payments, and financing service launched in 2007 has expanded into neighboring countries. However, the Iraqi banking system riddled with bureaucracy only allows for citizens to open bank accounts in person and only after offering documents and going through a cumbersome process. Only 23 percent of Iraqi households have access to an account at a financial institution, one of the lowest levels in the Arab world, according to data from the World Bank. Most companies in Iraq still operate in cash, with only 26 percent using the formal banking system. Roughly 98% of employers pay in hard currency and nearly half pay their suppliers that way.

SULAIMANI — Spokesperson for Iraq's federal government Hassan Nazim said on Monday (September 6) that the price of US dollar against Iraqi dinar will be fixed at the current price in the draft 2022 Federal Budget Law and does not change. Nazim told state-owned al-Sabah newspaper that the devaluation of Iraqi dinar is an idea that has been discussed for years. He said that the former government did not dare to take this step because of the risks and controversies around it, adding that Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi’s cabinet was bold in taking this decision as it was in the interest of the country’s economy. $100 was at 147,550 Iraqi dinars as of Monday afternoon. Iraq devalued the dinar significantly as a part of the 2021 Federal Budget Law to 1,450 Iraqi dinars per US dollar. It was designed to preserve Iraq’s dollar reserves and allow the government to spend more Iraqi dinars. On March 24, Director at Iraq’s Central Bank Mahmud Dagher said that the price will be fixed at the current price for the next four years. (NRT Digital Media)

SULAIMANI — Iraqi Prime Minster Mustafa al-Kadhimi told NRT on Thursday (September 2) that the federal government will continue to send monthly transfers of 200 billion Iraqi dinars ($137 million) to Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) until after the October 10 parliamentary elections and the formation of the new government. Two transfers have been made so far, which the KRG says has allowed it to make full salary payments to public servants for the first time since early 2020. The failure of the KRG to pay salaries was the source of major public frustration. The transfers are not part of the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which has still not been fully implemented with regard to the Kurdistan Region, but is the result of a political deal between Kadhimi and KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani. "There is negligence on both sides and there is a need for a quick solution," Kadhimi said in response to a question from an NRT reporter. Regarding electoral preparations, Kadhimi said that the government has allocated special funds to ensure that voting runs smoothly, enabling free and fair elections. (NRT Digital Media)

Under an agreement with Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, the KRG began to receive a monthly stipend of 200 billion dinars per month in July. The agreement, however, does not resolve major budget disagreements between Erbil and Baghdad, which have prevented the implementation of the 2021 Federal Budget Law. KRG officials are keen to note that the stipend is not the Region’s budget share. During 2020, the KRG struggled to pay its employees, missing five monthly disbursements entirely and cutting four others by nearly a quarter. Government employees had their pay cut by twenty-one percent during the first six months this year. Workers were paid in full in July for the first time in more than a year. The KRG began distributing public sector salaries in full on August 25, even before receiving the transfer from Baghdad. The salary cuts have had a significant effect on the economy of the Kurdistan Region because of the KRG’s role as the Region’s most important employer. (NRT Digital Media)
