DoD Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think the CBI governor Alaq wasn't smart enough to do the things that needed to be done, even with all his worldly trophies an honors he still lost his job. If he would have stopped the auctions an given the slaves more purchasing power with their Dinar he might still be employed. He will be joining Abadi in the unemployment line because neither did the right thing, both did a lot of good things just not the right one... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butifldrm Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 2018-11-16 BY SOTALIRAQ News on the removal of the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq from his post Informed media sources said on Friday that Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi has sacked the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq acting on the links. The sources said today that information indicating the signing of Abdul Mahdi to dismiss the ties from his post against the backdrop of the recent confirmation of the damage of 7 billion Iraqi dinars water. The sources added that Abdul Mahdi assigned the Iraqi businessman Ahmad Al-Sarraf to the post of governor of the Central Bank. The relations had said on Monday during hosting the parliament that the amount of 7 billion Iraqi dinars (5 million 882 thousand dollars) was damaged by 100 percent, due to leakage of rainwater to the coffers of Rafidain Bank, reducing the importance of the matter because the amount is worth only the cost of printing . The statements made by the Governor of the Central Bank of Kuwait have been widely discussed and questioned about the quality of the currency and the place of deposit, and the measures that the Bank provides to protect local currency against damage caused by any opposition to it. About two months ago, the governor of the Central Bank Ali al-Alaq raised a great controversy after putting his name on the Iraqi currency instead of signing, in an unprecedented precedent since the establishment of the Iraqi state in 1920. A month before the end of the government in March 2016, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki appointed the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers Ali Al-Alaq as Governor of the Central Bank. https://www.sotaliraq.com/2018/11/16/أنباء-عن-اقالة-محافظ-البنك-المركزي-الع/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butifldrm Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Ok, many of us have posted a ton of articles on Alak and the situation of the flooded 7 to 12 Billion damaged Iraqi Dinar. The damage has truly no moetary loss . As Alak has stated the notes were already set to go back to the CBI for destruction. In banking we call that mutilated money. Destroying mutilated money is a common pratice by all central banks. No currency lasts forever in the markets. The destruction according to the CBI and Rafadian happened under Turki's watch. Sooo what is the real reason Alak is being attacked. In 2012, Maliki. had appointed Abdul Basset Turki as a replacement of Shabibi, which was totally illegal because Turki was then to hold two offices, the Governor of the CBI and the Presidency of the office of Financial supervison, which was unconstitutional. Turki held that position from 2012 until Abadi was about to be named Prime Minister, after winning the election. Days before Abadi actually took the helm, Maliki replaced Turki with Alak who at that time was the General Secratary of the Cabinet. The CBI website use to desribe Alak as the Acting Governor of the Central bank. Now he is the described as the Actual Governor, yet the IMF and World bank Documents describe Alak as the acting Governor. IMO, Abadi could have replaced Alak at anytime, but, The GOI needed money to fight ISIS, because Maliki whether intentional or just by incompetence, had allowed Mosul to be captured by ISIS. Plus Alak, Maliki, Abadi were all member of the Dawa party. Now the Dawa have little say in the Government. The IMF allowed Alak to lend money to the Ministry of Finance to pay for the war on ISIS. and maybe that's why Abadi never addressed the Governor's position. Alak, also has gone from the grade of D up to B in the category of competency for Central Bankers in three years. Plus Alak, Maliki, Abadi were all member of the Dawa party. Now the Dawa have liitle say in the Government. Soooo why now would Alak be under scrutiny? 1. He's just the acting Governor of the CBI and the New Government wants a True Governor Like Shabibi, someone who's competent. 2. He allowed corruption under the foreign currency auctions to loose Billion. 3. He ran with monetary inclusion policy instead unpegging from the dollar, moving into article VIII, allowing the Dinar to float, and internationally traded which caused the loss of Billions in CBI reserves. 4. He's complying with US sanctions on Iran. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
