Either this will be a good thing, or visa is about to take a big hit on the market ...  Going to big to fast , and Arab word grabbing all it can 

 

 

If they do take a hit . . . its no bother, it will be a write off and/or a tax break and in the end they'll still come out ahead. It's what Global corporations are all about. Bailouts are also part of the game. The Global corporations designed it that way. . . .they never lose . . . we do . . . Pay in Cash, Food, Water,(etc.), Trade, Black Market or Barter. Those will be our options.

Currency window .. Where to?!

   
 

 
 


30/4/2018 12:00 am 

Yasser Al-Metwally The 
 citizen is touching these days the recovery of the Iraqi dinar and its stability against the dollar exchange rate, and perhaps the latest central bank measures were "straw that broke the camel's back" according to the common proverb. The most prominent question that arises now and looking for a definitive answer is , "What does it mean equal to the official exchange rate for the price of the parallel" commercial market, "What are the possible effects of this new reality?  
Which prompted me to write this column , the clerks D.mzar economic thinker Mohammed Saleh about this phenomenon which envisioned the predicted Machristsal and here the truth has occurred. 
the theme of "currency window" will be a laboratory for economic analyzes of possible outcomes after the equal exchange rate, where it began most private banks are wary of the possibility of declining profits borrowed by this window, which you get by the two rates difference.
The reason is certainly because the "window of the currency" is the main supplier of private banks to meet the operating cost of their budgets of the profits you get. We talk here about the economic phenomenon impartially and regardless of the vulnerability of the window of criticism and continuous monitoring and miscellaneous accusations I say regardless of this and that because this Diagnosis may sometimes occur and sometimes exaggerated and it is important to analyze this phenomenon in an unstable economy.
Thus, the banks' perception and perception of these concerns the real fears of the decline in profits at a time when it accounts for more than 90% of its profits to cover operating expenses, and because banks have relied on these profits without providing other banking products because of the high risk, For the provision of other banking services. The reason is that loans and deposits, which are the basis for moving products and banking performance, have been disrupted by risks, because the factor of confidence is missing between banks, the public of depositors, banks and the large number of borrowers. On this reality what is required of these banks if there were no profits to avoid loss? 
The answer is to be guided by the contents and the importance and objectives of the program of financial inclusion is to cover all segments of the community banking services that contribute to moving the sources of development through small and medium-sized enterprises, so you find that the attention of the Central Bank of this program appeared to appear results emerge quickly.
The settlement of salaries, which led to the expansion of the use of modern technology through the spread of credit cards will contribute to strengthening the financial position of banks, and enables them to re-activity and the return of confidence to absorb the money sting. This important program, which is celebrated by the week of Arab financial inclusion these days, is the real starting point for returning banks to the right path in providing banking services for which they were established, but provided that support continues with legislation guaranteeing the rights of depositors and lenders alike. 
As a reminder, the possibility of any financial shock or other whirlwind may confuse securities, prices will return to volatility, and our wishes for constant price stability.

navira, I do believe he is talking about the spread in this instance.  The CBI rate is 1184.  Even at the mandated CBI market rate of 1200, most Iraqi's are spending 16 dinars to convert to the dollar.  Lately we have seen the market rate under 1200, which is fabulous for the economy.  I'm not a fan of Alak, but it appears he is trying to comply with the 2% spread and rid the MCP which have been an IMF mandate for years.  The push for monetary  inclusion monetary will really help the private sector and bring liquidity into the banks.  The private banks can now loan money into the private sector, no longer depending on currency sales for capital therefore, making interest on loans. The government salaries via electronic payment will help, because all government employees will have to open an account to get paid.  There is also a huge push for the youth to invest in the banks with student loans.  Honestly, for once since 2012 I am impressed with the banking sector.  Watch the elections!

Smart Card ... financial inclusion achieves economic benefit

28/04/2018

 

 

 

(Independent) .. In conjunction with the week of financial inclusion, the company organized a workshop on the dimensions of financial inclusion and importance in economic life, and participated a large number of employees of the company in this workshop, which was attended by international experts, Sadiq Rashid Al Shammari 
An official source at the company briefed participants on the stages of the economic life of the family and the national economy by relying on financial inclusion, and presented successful global experiences in this important chapter and how some economies have been able to achieve important successes through financial inclusion. 
The source pointed out that the participants interacted with this step, where there was consensus on the importance of working towards spreading awareness among the community about financial inclusion and its role in achieving development for all segments of society and in all cities and towns.
He pointed out that the development of payment systems in Iraq has become an important necessity and this is continuing to be adopted in the coming period, as everyone knows that the requirements of the development of economic activity requires the adoption of the best global systems and harmony with them. 
He pointed out that Keycard understands that financial inclusion will impose itself when banking culture is an important part of an individual's life. In order to support this step, we need to provide infrastructure for different sectors to facilitate easy and easy access to the city or village.

Watch the elections!

 

Ramadan starts three days after the elections and ends June 14. The politicians may take this one off coming off the elections. IF we should know by or around June 11.  IF nothing then, it won't happen this year. Although financial education of the masses was one of the precursors leading to the main event. Thus far, they still need to pass and implement two-thirds of the HCL and implement the oil sharing program, which is the reason for the financial inclusion. Cannot share the wealth of the oil without being able to electronically deposit into an account. Thus cutting out corruption. Its the same here in the US, you need a deposit account when dealing with the government.

Butifldrm, really love ur inputs on this but this rv has to happen bfore the election takes place. If it doesnt happen i would have to go for august-sept 2018.

I hope you are right Navira45. It's beginning to seem even with the elections they are still working to make things happen and pushing this banking system to the people no matter what! Something has got to give. All these banks are practically giving away bank accounts and other prizes to get the people to trust them and ensuring them that their money is safe and valuable.

Let’s be honest, it makes sense to us that they should do it before he elections, but when has Iraq ever made sense!?

 

It  makes perfect sense that’s why I think they’ll pull the trigger after the elections. Not being a hater folks - these people don’t get it and they only know how to Delay & Postpone. They refuse to be “ pressured “ — They have yet to wrap their sun baked brains 🧠 around things like deadlines or expediency.
