I'm with you PP. The Iranians are snakes. They will figure out a 'work around' regardless of what Trump throws at them. Just like this IQD / Euro conversions for trade and payments. He demanded Iraq cease using USD to pay Iran, which they have just now accomplished. The trade between the 2 countries is a huge part of their GDP. Trump must realize he can't hold Iraq hostage over his hate for Iran. Time to let the IQD value out of the bag and push Iraq to fix their economy and infrastructure. IMO a float and rate were determined years ago. The wait is stagnating, now. Open the flood gates, get the IQD growing. It's time has come.

“The value of Iranian imports to Iraq was about $6 billion for the 12 months ending March 2018, about 15 percent of Iraq’s total imports for 2017.     

The energy contracts between the two countries also contributed to a volume of trade of $12 billion last year.

Iran is currently Iraq's top trade partner, having sharply increased their trade exchanges in recent monthsdespite US sanctions on the Islamic Republic.”

 

Think about this;

The ultimate goal of US economic sanctions on Iran is to asphyxiates their economy.

 

The value of imports from Iran to Iraq about $6 billion dollars 

$6 billion dollars = 7.1 trillion IQD 

 

If iraq pays $7.1 trillion IQD and then revalue, it will oxygen to Iran. Going against US economic sanctions.

 

But, if Iraq revalues first it will be a different story.

 

I believe the signing of this agreement between Iraq and Iran 

central banks will put pressure on the revaluation of the IQD.

also the demand for IQD will be higher bringing the IQD value UP

There it is bro in highlighted...assets in Iranian banks and conduct banking transactions in dinars.

 

Holy Cow!  I just realized what you're saying here, Navira!

Iraq will pay Iran in Dinar.....AND.....Iran will pay Iraq in Euros, since Iranian Rial is worthless.

They are not using worthless Rial and worthless Dinar.  They are using Euros and Dinar.

I'm pretty sure these currencies will have to be pretty close in worth (like 1 dinar equals $1.00, or thereabouts).

Also, the dinar will have to be international.  Otherwise, Iran would not be able to use it anywhere but in Iraq.

 

YIPEE!!!!!

Iran Claims Iraq Will Pay Its Debts, But U.S. Sanctions Make It Hard

 

95D286C1-D922-42D3-9226-B7513509A556_w1023_r1_s.jpg

Iran's central banker Abdolnaser Hemmati (L), with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad-- Feb 6 2019

 

 

One day after Iran's Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh complained that Iraq has not paid billions of dollars for its imports from Iran after the re-imposition of U.S. sanctions, Iran's Central Bank Governor told reporters that he has reached an agreement with his Iraqi counterpart about the payments.

The chief banker Abdolnasser Hemmati arrived in Baghdad Tuesday evening for negotiations regarding bilateral banking relations and the payment of Iraq's debts for the electricity and natural gas provided by Tehran.

Hemmati told Tasnim news agency on Wednesday that a mechanism for the payments has been finalized thanks to an agreement he signed with his Iraqi counterpart Ali al-Alaq. The agreement, Hemmati said, also covers payments for Iraq's other imports from Iran.

He said that based on the arrangements made, payments for natural gas, electricity and other commodities sold to Iraq by Iran will be made based on "payment orders" issued by the Central Bank of Iran. Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted Hemmati as saying that the central bank will create accounts in Euros and Iraqi dinars to facilitate payment for exported natural gas and electricity.

In addition, Iranian companies can work through Iraqi banks and Iranian banks can open dinar accounts in Iraq. He was quoted as emphasizing that these measures will expand banking cooperation between Iran and Iraq.

But no further explanation was provided as to the exact mechanism, if any, of actual fund transfers and a timetable for Iraqi late payments.

U.S. sanctions prohibit importers of Iranian products to repatriate cash money. Iran can sell its oil or natural gas but the money stays in the importing country and Iran can only use the funds to buy food and medicine as allowed under the sanctions’ regime.

What will Iran do with Iraqi dinars even if accounts are opened at Iraqi banks and payments made? This remains unclear. Iraq is not known as having surplus food or being a major medicine producer.

The Iranian Central Bank governor also said that "The U.S. has waged an economic war against Iran in order to disrupt Iran's economic and political situation," adding that sanctions have created problems for Iranian exporters.

On Tuesday, Iran's oil minister Bijan Zanganeh said Iraq imports monthly $200 million worth of natural gas from Iran but Baghdad has not been paying its debts after the United States re-imposed its sanctions on Iran last autumn.

Zanganeh added that Iraq owes Iran some two billion dollars but Iraqi officials say Baghdad is unable to pay its debts because of sanctions.

Speaking on Iran-Iraq cooperation in developing their shared oil fields, Zanganeh said: "We suggested to Iraqis that we could develop the Khorramshahr and Naftshahr oil fields together but they rejected the offer."

He said, "Iraq is not sanctioned and has no limitation for working with international companies," however, he doubted whether Iraq would sign an agreement with Iran as this might subject Baghdad to secondary sanctions.

He also said that Iraq has unilaterally terminated its oil swap arrangement with Iran based on which Iraq delivered oil from Erbil to Iran across the border and Iran sold some oil in the Persian Gulf on behalf of Iraq.

Iraq's total commercial transactions with various countries are around $190 billion per year, out of which 14 billion dollars is trade with Iran, which includes buying electricity and gas from Tehran.

The United States has given a waiver to Baghdad until the end of March, which makes it exempt from the ban on trading with Iran, so that Iraq could purchase its electricity and gas requirements from Iran. However, international energy market experts say Iraq needs a year before stopping its gas purchase from Iran and finding alternative suppliers. The question is that having waiver, why Iraq is not paying Iran.

Iraq buys 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Iran annually and more than 5 terawatts of electricity (5billion megawatts) for a total of nearly $3 billion a year. Since last March, Iraq has also imported $7.5 billion of Iranian rpoducts.

On January 1, the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chief, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh criticized Iran's "negative economic performance in Iraq and warned that Iran as a player will be replaced by Turkey and Saudi Arabia in Iraq's market.

Referring to the outcomes of a recent committee meeting entitled "Iran's economic strategy in Iraq and Syria," Falahatpisheh said that if Iran loses its economic links in those two countries, whatever Tehran has gained in the political and military arena there will be lost.

Iraq Allows Iranian Traders to Open Accounts in Its Banks

 

By16f20f42-8b6b-44b7-96de-91bc5f31e57d.jpg

https://ifpnews.com/wired/iraq-allows-iranian-traders-to-open-accounts-in-banks/

Iranian traders can open accounts with Iraqi banks to carry out their transactions under a new payment system between the two countries, Iran’s central bank governor Abdolnaser Hemmati said Wednesday.

 

 

February 6, 2019 - 16:40

 
 

“According to an agreement reached with the Central Bank of Iraq, Iranian exporters can operate through Iraqi banks, and in this regard, Iranian banks can have dinar-denominated accounts in Iraqi banks,” he said.

On Tuesday, Iran and Iraq agreed on a payment mechanism that will enable the two neighbors to do business in the face of US sanctions on Tehran.

The mechanism was discussed in a meeting between Hemmati and his Iraqi counterpart  Ali Mohsen Ismail al-Alaq in Baghdad and the details were signed off on a document Tuesday night.

Hemmati met Iraqi bank directors, members of chambers of commerce and traders on Wednesday, saying the two sides had reached “good agreements.”

“According to the agreement, the Central Bank of Iran will have euro- and dinar-denominated accounts in Iraqi banks and gas and oil exchanges will be carried out via these accounts,” he said.

“Iraqi companies can also open accounts in Iranian banks and do trade in dinars,” said Hemmati who also announced that he agreed with a request for Iraqi banks to open branches in Iran.

“Therefore, with these agreements and the blessing of the Iraqi prime minister, banking relations between Iran and Iraq will be much stronger, and the expansion of trade relations between the two countries will take shape on this basis,” he added.

Hemmati arrived in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday to discuss banking relations and a payments backlog related to Iran’s gas and electricity exports to the Arab country, he wrote on his Instagram account.

Iraq is Iran’s biggest trade partner, but their relations are increasingly coming under pressure from the US which imposed unilateral sanctions on Tehran in May after abandoning an international nuclear agreement.

On Tuesday, Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh summed up the tricky situation.

“Every month, $200 million worth of Iranian gas is exported to Iraq which does not pay it, saying you are under sanctions. At the moment, we have $2 billion owed by Iraq for the gas and electricity sold to the country,” he said.

“We had an oil swap from Kirkuk. After the sanctions, the Iraqis stopped that too,” Zangeneh told a news conference in Tehran.

The swap deal was agreed at the end of 2017, under which Iraq was about to truck 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil to Kermanshah in western Iran. Iraq’s southern Basra port would receive the same amount of crude from Iran either by tanker or pipeline.

The Iraqis made several batches of shipments but stopped them prior to Washington’s sanctioning of Iran’s oil sector on November 5.

Nevertheless, Iraq relies on Iran for electricity and consumer goods and trade ties are still strong.

Gas imports from Iran generate as much as 45 percent of Iraq’s 14,000 megawatts of electricity consumed daily. Iran transmits another 1,000 megawatts directly, making itself an indispensable energy source for its Arab neighbor.

Basra was hit by violent protests which spread to other cities last summer, partly because of a halt of Iranian electricity exports.

Iranian officials have said the country is pushing forth with a 2025 vision plan to raise its exports to Iraq to $20 billion a year despite US pressures on Baghdad to keep Tehran at arm’s length.

Foodstuff, livestock, construction material and plastic products constitute the bulk of Iran’s exports to Iraq. Iranian vehicles and food items are a ubiquitous sight in Iraq.

Iraq, New Iranian Central Bank / New currency map is on its way?

The possibility of opening a dinar account of Iranian banks in Iraq and opening branches of one of the largest Iraqi banks in Iran will mark a new chapter in the interactions between the two countries.

 


In the past days, Abdel Nasser Hemmati completed one of his most important business trips during the Central Bank's time, according to the Mehr News Agency. A journey where important meetings at this historic point of the Iranian economy took place, and of course, the agreements that took place on the fringe, may have provided one of the most unique opportunities to the Iranian banking system, which, if properly implemented and timely implemented, It can be an important and effective step in the field of the Iranian foreign exchange system .

Accelerating the Iraqi debt repayment system to Iran, the activity of Iranian exporters through Iraqi banks, and the possibility of opening an Iranian bank account with the dinar and the euro, including agreements made with the Iraqi authorities at separate meetings of the head of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Many banking experts say the deal, along with the importance of time for Iran, will be positive in terms of currency remittances .

Of course, the success of the implementation of these agreements necessarily involves the political will of the two sides to timely and in accordance with the agreements reached, in particular, that Iraq has for months been the first Iranian trading partner and has the largest exports Non-oil Iran. In addition, at least in the last few months, Iraq has been able to influence the foreign exchange market with its foreign exchange markets Herat and Sulaimaniyah.

Iraq, the new role of the Iranian currency system

Majid Shakeri, an economic analyst in an interview with Mehr News Agency , referring to the visit of Iraqi Central Bank Director Abdul Nasser Hemmati to Iraq, said that the trip was both the most important and positive in terms of the content of the Hawala Of foreign currencies this year. In addition, Iraq is a very important country in Iran's foreign exchange map and is considered to be the most important export destination of Iran in recent months.

He added that the Sulaimaniyah market is a bazaar related to Istanbul, Herat and Dubai, and thus has a serious impact on the cash market of Tehran, while considering the demographic situation in Iraq, the access of currency to the Central European and South American countries It is found in this country .

Shakeri believes that among the countries that have successfully succeeded in converting their currency into dollars, Iraq has the best conditions for security cooperation with Iran and has the most consistent security interests with Iran, which is why Iraq has a very important point for Iran. Including the results of the visit of the Chief of the Central Bank to Iraq, subject to the implementation of the agreement, is an appropriate access to the facilities; in addition to all the cases, such as opening an account of Iraqi companies in Iran, opening an account for Iranian banks in this country. And the opening of dinar accounts is also very important .

Shakeri said that if the dinar was a currency such as the Indian Rupee and the Russian ruble, this trip could not be very effective, but the dinar is very strong due to Iraqi foreign exchange earnings, and because of the interplay between these incomes and the interests of American companies, in the long run, the problem No special occasions .

Why is foreign exchange agreements important with Iraq?

He stated that the status of Iraq is very important, saying that the news out of the agreements shows that all actions have been in line with the purpose and the real work; the time of the agreement is also important, because in the second half of the avalanche and March because the market is more or less dormant, it is a good condition for implementation of these policies. Moreover, if these agreements are well implemented, it will be possible before the payment system goes under the new year in May next year. , Use this system appropriately.

Shakeri said that Iraq has other positive points for us, and that those populations in the south and north of the country, said that their respective textures are on the Iranian border, allowing the offices to be completely disconnected, similar to those between Tehran And Dubai exists for the Iranian and Iraqi side; while the border between Iran and Iraq is in a way that corresponds to the availability of money transfer with banknote access and reduces the sanction of the settlement unit .

The expert in economic affairs, arguing that the gender segregation of US interests with a part of Iraqi society is such that Americans can not isolate a bank in Iraq for cooperation with Iran, stated: "It seems that the head of the central bank and The country's foreign currency team has been pre-contemplated in terms of prioritization of the previous program, but along with all of these, what makes the security attachment necessary to get a good financial result in order to make Iran a good financial result, Iran's security implications West Asia and helping Iraq during ISIL's invasion .

Iraq agreement; more effective replacement of INSTEX

He stated: "The sum of these conditions says that, in contrast to the concept that the Europeans put forward, and in line with that, Iran must deal with the security gains in West Asia and receive direct access to the euro against it, a new concept can be born." Which lies on the resistance axis, which has had security and military layers to this day .

Shakeri said that this concept is technically more powerful, more credible, and more in line with Iran's security conditions, so that the access that Iraq opens to us does not solve all the problems, but it does not solve a significant part of the problems with approximation. Well, it can be solved on condition that it is executed .

How effective is Iran-Iraq exchange agreement?

Sayed Kumal Seyyed Ali, a former deputy foreign currency deputy of the Central Bank, said in a conversation with Mehr correspondent about the change in Iran's foreign exchange map and recent agreements with Iraq, saying: "Certainly, because these agreements have been signed by the head of the Central Bank, the current situation The country's currency is included in terms of sanctions.

Accordingly, what is happening is that when the two sides work with local money, they set off their sanctions, but they must also consider the dinar's use of the country; in other words, if a Iraqi exports goods to Iran, and we want to give it the money from the purchase of goods, we can pay the dinar at the disposal of the receivables, or if we export and they want local currency to us Give it, it's possible.

Seyed Ali said that Iraqi exports to Iran and Iran should be compared to Iraq so that the two sides can settle this money, but the important thing in these agreements is that if the dinar we obtain at the right rate becomes International currencies will be of benefit to bothers and can be important for exporters because they reduce costs.

He said: if Iranian banks and individuals have a euro account in order to receive the dinars they receive for selling their goods, they will be able to convert to the bank, which they account for, into dollars, dollars and euros, the benefits will be much higher; The agreement concluded by the head of the central bank also states that Iranian exporters can use this mechanism.

Seyed Ali noted that the actions taken by the Central Bank in Iraq, if executed and the possibility of converting the dinar into global currencies, is a good and big job and should provide a land that would convert the dinars resulting from exports to the country. Other currencies and, through that, provided part of the country's currency needs. 

He said: "Monetary treaties will be activated when both parties can use common currencies to maximize their profits.

TEHRAN, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Iranian traders can open accounts in Iraqi banks to carry out their transactions under a new payment system recently agreed between the two neighbors, the governor of Iran's central bank, Abdolnaser Hemmati, announced on Wednesday.

"According to an agreement reached with the Central Bank of Iraq, Iranian exporters can operate through Iraqi banks," Hemmati was quoted as saying by Press TV.

In this regard, Iranian banks can also have dinar-denominated accounts in the Iraqi banks, he said.

"Based on the agreement, the Central Bank of Iran will have euro- and dinar-denominated accounts in Iraqi banks, and gas and oil exchanges will be carried out via these accounts," he said.

On Tuesday, Hemmati and his Iraqi counterpart, Ali Mohsen Ismail al-Alaq, discussed a trade transaction mechanism in Baghdad that will enable the two neighbors to do business in the face of U.S. sanctions against Tehran.

On Wednesday, Hemmati met Iraqi bank directors, as well as members of the Iraqi chambers of commerce and traders, and announced that "good agreements" reached between Iraq and Iran over payment mechanism.

"Iraqi companies can also open accounts in the Iranian banks, and the Iraqi banks can open branches in Iran," he added.

"Therefore, with these agreements ... banking relations between Iran and Iraq will be much stronger, and the expansion of trade relations between the two countries will take shape on this basis," he added.

Hemmati arrived in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Tuesday to discuss banking relations and payments backlog related to Iran's gas and electricity exports to the Arab country.

Iraq is Iran's biggest trade partner, but their relations are increasingly coming under pressure from Washington which imposed unilateral sanctions on Tehran last May after abandoning Iran's international nuclear agreement.

On Tuesday, Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Namdar Zanganeh complained about Iraq's overdue payments over Iran's sales of natural gas to the Arab country.

The United States has reimposed sanctions on Iran, including its oil exports and banking sectors.

However, Washington agreed to let eight countries, including Iraq, keep temporarily buying Iranian oil.

Iraqi PM Urges Rapid Implementation of Banking Deal with Iran

“After a long and four-hour meeting last night with the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, I had a very good and constructive meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq on Wednesday, February 6,” Hemmati said in a post on social media.

“I appreciated his determination to develop political and economic relations between the two countries,” he wrote.

“He declared his firm support for the two sides’ banking agreement and urged the governor of Iraq’s Central Bank to quickly pursue and implement the deal,” Hemmati stated.
