    Despite the rise of the dollar, Saleh: The parallel market today is not important
      
    {Economic: Al Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed the stability of the dollar exchange rate against the dinar, despite its significant rise today, reaching 1,500 dinars.
     
     

    Useful summary.. In important news you can find it on Al Furat News channel on Telegram.. To subscribe click here

    Saleh told Al Furat News Agency, "The fixed exchange rate system in Iraq is based on the highest international reserves in the history of Iraq and its monetary policy, as foreign currency covers more than 100% of the total currency currently issued." He added,
    "In light of the strength of the official central exchange market, the exchange rate of the dollar to the dinar in the parallel market today in our country does not constitute any relative importance in influencing the stability of the general price level, which has become stable in its components and trends due to the influence of the official exchange rate factor currently dominating the financing of foreign trade (imports), amounting to 1320 dinars per dollar."
    He pointed out that "it is a stable trend for the exchange rate and the stable external value of the dinar revolves around it, which is embodied by the state of stability in the relative prices of goods and services to a large extent, as annual inflation in our country does not exceed 3%."
    Saleh continued, "Based on the above, and in light of the strength of the foreign reserves supporting the Iraqi dinar, the value of which as liquid foreign assets exceeds $100 billion, the official exchange market, as a general trend, will remain dominant in containing any colored noise or ambiguous information that affects the parallel exchange market in short periods due to urgent international or regional political events here and there or in adapting some instructions regulating the monetary market. Stressing that after the decline of the dollarization phenomenon in internal transactions, especially in contracts, obligations and payments within the country since last year and its legal prohibition."
    He stressed that "the parallel exchange market has become such that its general effects today only form a narrow economic scope of prohibited transactions practiced by informal markets and at a rate of 10% of the total supply and demand transactions for the currency."
    He stressed that "the stability of the exchange rate of the dinar to the dollar that the country is witnessing even in the secondary markets above is a real and solid stability, and is derived from the strength of the impact of the price and quantity factors of the monetary and financial policies and their integration in imposing overall price stability in the country and containing inflationary expectations that were caused by the parallel exchange market forces during the past years."
    He noted that "the irregular secondary market, due to the freedom of external transfer, is affected by the official exchange market rate, whose operations are constantly expanding in favor of dealing with the fixed official exchange rate."

    That part shows they are in good shape with their reserves & for those that keep saying "the dollar is going to crash", well that's one of the things supporting the dinar! Further confirmation that the CBI can flip the switch anytime. Good article @RJG

  2. One of the things I tell myself from time to time is what if this dinar played out & folks made money and I found out afterwards about this opportunity. Would it matter about the frustration I would've went through waiting on it to materialize?? Or would I be happy that me & my loved ones is set financially not having to be worried about house bills, medical bills, buying a vehicle, etc..? So I continue to hang on & be content about finding out about this investment!🤦‍♂️🙏

    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 ... :twothumbs: RON 

     

     

    Paulette  Question: "Iraq is supposed to join the WTO this 18th of July, is that correct?" the 18th is the next meeting of the Steering Committee ...the Full Assembly would have to vote to allow Iraq full accession... they are not scheduled to meet until early 2026... It would be extremely uncommon for a Steering Committee to only meet with a country 2 times after the initial meeting. 4 to 7 is the usual... this is only the second meeting of the Steering Committee for Iraq.

     

    Clare  Question: "Iraq is supposed to join the WTO this 18th of July, is that correct?IT WAS REPORTED ON IRAQI TV... THAT IRAQ WILL BE FULL MEMBERS  OF THE WTO JULY 18TH.

     

    Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The Gazette, it's been printed but with July 1 date and there's no budget and no budget schedules in it. Maybe we have to wait for that appeal and the 15 days.

     

     

    :tiphat:

    Paulette says more steering committee meetings needed for Iraq to join. After the 18th is not until 2026. Clare informs that Iraqi TV said they're going to join July 18th. I remember an article back in January saying Iraq met all the requirements to join. We'll find our eventually. As long as they add value this summer/fall that's the main thing!

  4. Breitling put out an audio on this today. He said the Hamas setting up in Baghdad is not good at all for our investment. He said to keep a watchful eye on this information because this group will not benefit Iraq but hurt the markets. He cautioned that when Iraq revalues the dinar we should exchange & get out as quickly as possible. Do not worry..it won't stop the revaluation.

    Can't verify it but praying it is true! Is this not the interview from when he visited America?. If it is he did not actually say he would be raising the value of the dinar.

    Yeah he didn't. He spoke in favor of what is going on but that's it. In fact I believed he changed course of the discussion after addressing the lady in the audience question.

  6. I know some may tend to lean to the negative side about this budget news. They actually shocked me by passing it today! It does appear They will need the new rate tobaccomplish everything they need including what's in this budget. And no I'm not saying the rate is in the budget. I'm not excited, however, I'm not frustrated at the moment. This is forward positive news! Also, I believe I saw an article on them closing the window to companies regarding the foreign currency buying/selling from the CBI. Our frustration/waiting is close to being over!

    “On Friday, the Iraqi government welcomed Security Council Resolution No. (2734), which was unanimously issued today, ending the mandate and tasks of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq/UNAMI, according to a timetable that ends with complete termination on December 31, 2025.”

     

    Hoping we don’t have to wait until the end of the UNAMI mission to see the real

    market value of the Dinar.!

     

    Go Iraq 🇮🇶 

    Go sovereignty 

    Go stronger dinar

    January of 2026 would be nutz!! That would be almost 3 years Sudani telling them to "hold on to ya dinars"! I do feel the CBI can make this go regardless of this UNAMI Mission.

    I don't often agree with the Pimp but he's right about Iraq.

    Iraq is not ready.

    Everything is not done.

    More banking laws & protection for outside investors needs to be passed.

    I often get red rubies for saying Iraq is not ready.

    Read the real articles coming out of Iraq instead of the lying Gurus.

    All IMHO.

    I disagree. Iraq is ready! That's what makes this investment opportunity annoying & unique at the same time. The key they hold is their currency! They can make it happen anytime!

    Is Parliament in session ? Does anyone know when session ends ?

    Not sure if they're in session at this moment. An article in Iraqi News Agency said the voting of the budget is not to exceed June 9th due to the legislative holiday. So hopefully this will be done completely in the next few weeks. Not holding my breath but a rate change SURE be nice preceeding it!
