    Member of the Sudanese delegation: We will witness a rapid decline of the dollar in the coming days

    04/17/2024

    Member of the Sudanese delegation - We will witness a rapid decline of the dollar in the coming daysA member of the delegation accompanying the Prime Minister, Aed Al-Hilali, suggested that things would go towards complete control of the dollar exchange rate and a clear and rapid decline in the coming days.

    Al-Hilali said: For the program {Free Speech} broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel this Tuesday evening, it was stated that: “
    The visit of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani to Washington carries within it a lot of good news for the Iraqi people, as it was able to achieve many gains.
    – The agreements that were signed with major international American companies.” It is concerned with the Iraqi people, one of which is energy and in various fields.
    – There are American companies that have signed agreements to manufacture sprinklers and cars that fall within the needs of the Iraqi state, in addition to handing over a number of Iraqi antiquities today to the Iraqi side.
    – Iraq has made great strides through the Sudanese government in the field of financial reform, and we need To a measure that could organize governmental and private financial institutions in a way that makes them stable in dealing with their counterparts in the world –
    what the government has done in terms of opening corruption files and operations to control the dollar are all taken into consideration by the United States of America, which will stand and help Iraq in the next stage, and I believe that. 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 US Treasury praised the Iraqi government’s steps in developing the banking sector. But no decision has been issued yet regarding lifting sanctions on private Iraqi banks.

  6. After 21 years of the dollar auction… Iraq is close to closing the window amid reassurances and warnings

    After 21 years of the dollar auction… Iraq is close to closing the window amid reassurances and warnings

    04/16/2024

    After 21 years of the dollar auction... Iraq is close to closing the window amid reassurances and warningsIraq 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 the 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.

  8. Iraq reduces external debt by more than half within two years

    Iraq reduces external debt by more than half within two years

    4-11-2024

    Iraq reduces external debt by more than half within two yearsBaghdad – The Iraqi government announced, on Monday evening, a 50 percent reduction in external debt, renewing its determination to continue creating a qualitative shift in the Iraqi economy.

    Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi said in a statement published by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), “As an emphasis from the government on transparency in economic work, and informing public opinion and national and international media of Iraqi economic performance, and in light of the Council of Ministers’ approval of the recommendations of the Diwani Order Committee 23942, Regarding regulating external borrowing and structuring Iraqi public external debt, the government took a series of executive measures and adopted a package of financial decisions that resulted in reducing external public debt by more than 50 percent, bringing the debt down from $19.729 billion in late 2022 to $15.976 billion. In 2023, reaching approximately $8.9 billion this year.”

    He added, “These financial steps, which included stopping a number of borrowing operations due to their delay and unproductivity, organizing and managing debts and auditing them, and restructuring some debts and directing them to create strategic projects, aim to prevent the Iraqi economy from mortgaging obligations that may affect, in the future, the political decision, or the… The national development path coincides with an urban renaissance and infrastructure reconstruction, which opens the way to a promising future and a revitalized economy, in which our current and future generations perform best and obtain the greatest opportunities.”

    He explained that “the government organized the process of financing cooperation with the international community in specific contexts, including direct productive borrowing, providing sovereign guarantees to ensure the production of projects carried out by the private sector for the benefit of the government, and sovereign guarantees provided by the government for the benefit of institutions that finance the Iraqi private sector importing production lines in order to build Factories inside Iraq.”

    He pointed out, “These steps pave the way for our country’s further integration into the international economic cycle, and for the government to adopt the principle of productive borrowing only, which effectively leads to an increase in the domestic product, and the financing of national service and productive projects with economic returns, in a way that ensures their completion and is not delayed.” .

    With these firm steps, Al-Awadi stressed that “the government renews its determination to continue making a qualitative shift in the Iraqi economy, in parallel with tangible development in the services, infrastructure and social care sectors, which are all the pillars required to meet the aspirations of our people throughout Iraq, and implement the government program with its priorities and goals.” “.

    Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani has placed economic reform at the top of his government’s priorities, but he faces an uphill battle in a country where the state is the largest employer and where bureaucracy and old laws hinder the work of the private sector.

    The International Monetary Fund’s confirmation in its latest assessments that Iraq was able to confront fluctuations over the past year, and that it will recover in 2024, gave the economy a strong morale boost to overcome external shocks thanks to the growth of non-oil domestic product and the strengthening of public financial management.

    According to the Fund, this is represented by lower inflation rates and an improved balance of payments, as well as stimulating economic diversification and creating job opportunities led by the private sector.

    The Fund expects Iraq’s non-oil GDP to grow by about 5 percent, in light of the significant expansion in public finances within the framework of the effective three-year budget law.

    In a related context, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said today, Tuesday, that “Iraq was able to reduce the external debt in accordance with the Paris Club Agreement signed in October 2004 by extinguishing more than 100 billion dollars of that debt.”

    He added, “The era of the economic blockade before 2003 caused massive humanitarian damage to the Iraqi people, as the average annual per capita income fell to less than $670, which made Iraq then enter the system of poor countries that were subject to a long period of internal and external conflicts and the destruction of infrastructure that amounted to devastation.” At the Madrid donor conference for Iraq in October 2003, approximately $58 billion were allocated.

    Iraq is counting on the rise in oil prices, which it depends on by about 96 percent for its financial revenues, to fill the financial deficit and reduce the size of internal and external debts, in addition to resuming work on more than 5,000 projects that have been suspended for years throughout the country’s cities, in the health, education, electricity, and water sectors. .

    Iraq’s exports rose to more than 1.23 billion barrels of oil during the past year, and China and India topped the countries that bought Iraqi oil the most. The monthly oil export rate reached 102.6 million barrels, with a daily average of 3.4 million barrels, an increase of 5.36 percent over 2022 exports.

    The financial advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister revealed government measures that put Iraq at the forefront of countries in foreign investment, while pointing out that the development path and Al-Faw port strengthened the government’s vision of encouraging foreign investments.

    Saleh said, “The Iraqi economy is characterized by two basic features that help give it preference in foreign investment. First, cash flows in foreign currency are reflected in the current account of the balance of payments relative to the gross domestic product, which is estimated by international economic and national centers at a surplus estimated at about 7 percent. Iraq also ranks second in OPEC’s oil production ranks fifth in the world in that production.”

    He added, “As for the second advantage, there is a wide range of available investment opportunities provided by transportation, digital communications, housing, and construction activities, and it ends with encouraging partnership between the state and the private sector in the manufacturing industry and various technological fields, the latest of which was the Cabinet’s adoption of the facilitating instructions at its last meeting that encourages the existing partnership between the state.” And the private sector, which is based on the principle of win-win and is an attractive signal for foreign direct investment.”

    He pointed out that “the investment law frames the provision of an attractive investment environment for investors, especially the economic surplus trends of the countries of the region and their orientation towards profitable investments in Iraq in the industrial, agricultural and other fields, which gives a positive signal to international investment in general to be attracted towards Iraq and investigate promising opportunities there.”

    He explained, “Iraq is ranked ninth in the world in terms of natural resources underground, and ranked first in reserves per square kilometer of investable natural resources such as (phosphate, sulfur, and other important reserves).

    Hi Keylime,

     

    I provided the information as support system" rel="">support for how I came up with the timeline so only supporting information, if interested.

     

    I once heard there is a Gospel Message in the first eleven names starting with Adam. Here are the names and their meanings from Cruden's Complete Concordance:

     

    Adam              red earth

    Seth               appointed

    Enos               frail, fallen man, subject to all kind of evil in body and soul

    Cainan           possessor, or purchaser; or, one that laments; or, the builder of a nest

    Mehalaleel     praise of God

    Jared             descent

    Enoch            dedicated, or disciplined and well regulated

    Methuselah   when he is dead it shall be sent, I.e., the deluge

    Lamech         powerful

    Noah             (1) rest, comfort; (2), motion, wandering

    Shem            name; I.e., distinguished

     

    Strung together for the narrative the best I remember:

     

    Man was

    appointed

    to fall and

    lamented but the

    faithful God

    came down

    teaching

    after death

    powerful

    comfort by

    HIS NAME.

     

    I am pretty sure other sources will have variants on the names and I pieced this together from memory a decade ago or so since I heard the phrase a couple decades before that.

     

    Reminds me of Romans 11:32:

     

    Romans 11:32

    New International Version

    32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

     

    Something we can all find comfort in knowing HIS provision!

    i, too, remember this teaching. Rock Island Books has wonderful youtube videos of the Bible, timelines, and the end times. Jonathan Cahn has great studies as well. I also like to listen to Perry Stone. For me they all point to how amazing God and His Word are. Things are being revealed in these last days and those who are willing to hear and see and study are blessed by that understanding and knowledge showing us "great and mighty things we do not know."

  10. I only skimmed this and will definitely need more time to study it rightly. Thanks Synopsis. Much food for consideration. I believe there was a Pre Adamic time that several verses in the Bible point to which could be interpreted to say the earth is umpteen million years old. For me these are just fun topics to explore but obviously we will all find out one day. The bottom line is, Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Amen!

  11. Hi Synopsis. Love your post.

    From Adam to Abraham the Father of the Nation of Israel was 1948 years. From the Second Adam (Jesus Christ) to the rebirth of the Nation of Israel was 1948 years. There are so many incredible things, timings, events told and foretold in the Word of God, prophecies that have come to pass exactly as prophesied and prophecies that will be fulflilled in these Last Days it can make your head spin. In fact, the only prophecies that have not yet come to pass in the Word are those that refer to the Last Days and Jesus' Second Coming.

    The name Methuselah means "When he dies it shall come." Yes Methuselah died and the flood came. His very name was prophetic. Noah's son Seth(whom many Bible scholars believe was Melchizedek) lived long enough to know Jacob for fifty years. So Abraham, Isaac and then Jacob knew his great great grandfather who actually went through the flood for fifty years hearing the stories that led to the flood, etc. First hand accounts.

    There are no contradictions in the Bible. There is only lack of  original Hebrew and Greek Word study and lack of understanding. 

    Happy Easter every one! Jesus died so we can live. Only believe.

    yes. it is inevitable. I don't care what anyone says. No one is selling. people are still buying fake shares in the billiions. like a dam that can't hold back the water anymore, one day this thing is going to break and MOASS. Fundamentally, AMC is valued in the 30s to 60s. So as a fundamental play this is a blue light special. As a MOASS play, the sky is the limit. When? No one knows. Like the IQD. But I'm still in it because nothing has changed as to why I am in. They are hoping shareholders tire and get discouraged and bail, but stats prove no one is selling.
