In an interview with a number of media officials at the headquarters of the General Administration yesterday, the Governor of the Central Bank Ali Mohsen Al-Alak said that the reserve managed by the bank has been achieving a greater return than before, which is due to the diversification in the operations associated with its management and to the program to develop cadres, These operations by himself without intermediaries as it was in the past, and confirmed that the reserve amounted to 51 billion dollars today. The reserves fell in 2016 to $ 43 billion in the circumstances that followed Iraq after the collapse of oil prices, the country's main source of income and the only source of hard currency, as well as a sweeping invasion, which covered one-third of the country and resulted in very poor social, economic and political conditions. The reserves were in the range of $ 77 billion in 2013. Al-Alak said that the bank has also been interested in recent years in the development of public and private banking.

Butifldrm Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I know I have posted this before, but Iraq has recently signed many economic agreements and been promised tons of investment by many well developed nations not only in the Middle East, but from most of the developed countries in the world. Iraq, is presently being seen as a victim just as Kuwait was seen in the 90's. Kuwait's infrastructure was demolished at that time too. Yet, within less than a year, Kuwait was able to reinstate the value of it's currency, with the price of oil at that time was between $21 and $28 dollars a barrel. The price of oil has since more than doubled. Kuwait"s debt per GDP since the invasion has fluctuated tremendously dependent on oil prices, In the ninties during their duress , the debt was over 200% GDP, yet their currency was reinstated and still remains above $3.00 https://tradingeconomics.com/kuwait/government-debt-to-gdp . Iraq's debt to GDP has fluctuated all over the place since that time too https://tradingeconomics.com/iraq/government-debt-to-gdp. but if you look at both of these charts on debt to GDP, Iraq has a much better position at this time than Kuwait had at the end of the Gulf War. I know, supposedly that Iraq has more currency in circulation, yet the Kuwaiti exchange rates were weighted against contracts that they had made in trade agreements. I just pray that the investment and contracts Iraq has made can be treated the same way and can raise the value of their currency , not only for us , but mostly for the people of Iraq. Exchange Rate Policy Overview Average CBK's policy for the Kuwaiti Dinar (KD) exchange rate aims at maintaining and enhancing the relative stability of the KD against other currencies, and shielding the domestic economy against the impacts of imported inflation. These responsibilities reflect the importance of the exchange rate policy in the Kuwaiti economy where no restrictions are imposed on the movement of capital. During the period from 18 March 1975 to the end of the year 2002, CBK adopted an exchange rate policy pegging the KD to a weighted basket of major currencies. That policy based the determination of the KD exchange rate on a special weighted basket of currencies of the countries that have significant trade and financial relations with the State of Kuwait. This policy proved to be effective in achieving a high degree of relative stability of the KD exchange rate against major world currencies. Between 5 January 2003 and 19 May 2007, the KD was pegged to the US Dollar according to the Decree No. 266/2002 stipulating the peg of the KD exchange rate to the US Dollar within margins around a parity rate effective the beginning of the year 2003. The Governor at that time, H.E. Sheikh Salem Abdulaziz Al-Sabah, announced the parity rate of the KD exchange rate against the US Dollar for the first day of business in January 2003 corresponding to Sunday 5 January 2003. The exchange rate was set at 299.63 fils per dollar with margins of ±3.5%. This parity rate was set based on the same principles and considerations approved historically by CBK in determining the KD exchange rate under the previous system of the currency basket in order to ensure a smooth change from the currency basket peg to the dollar peg within margins. Effective 20 May 2007 by virtue of the Decree No. 147/2007, the KD exchange rate was repegged to an undisclosed weighted basket of international currencies of Kuwait's major trade and financial partner countries. Reverting to the exchange rate policy followed prior to 2003 aims at protecting the purchasing power of the national currency and containing inflationary pressures affecting the local economy, after having exhausted all attempts to absorb the adverse effects of US Dollar depreciation against major currencies for an extended period of time. http://www.cbk.gov.kw/en/monetary-policy/exchange-rate-policy.jsp 2 1 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ordered a change in the currency unit of the faltering local currency by removing three zeros from its value amid excessive inflation and an economic crisis in the country, Venezuelan media reported. Maduro said the measure would come into effect on June 4 and would have no effect on the Bolivar value. The action shows the collapse of the Bolivar, which fell 99.99% against the dollar on the black market since Maduro came to power in April 2013. But Maduro, according to media, presented the move as a positive development aimed at protecting Venezuela from speculators in the currency market and from a US-led trade war against the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). While the measure appears to be a revaluation, Cash for the currency as the country will not change the official exchange rate. In parallel, between the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq on the words in an interview with Iraqi media: "The deletion of zeros not because of the value of the dinar, but for the purpose of tightening and improve the performance of banknotes and reducing the use of the dollar locally in circulation and exchange and storage value and standardize the size of banknotes," indicating "The subject of deleting zeros from the currency is ready but needs an environment suitable for its application to prevent manipulation and fraud by the owners of vulnerable souls. 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
