Trust in banking

 

 

Yasser Al Metwally
 

In a remarkable news published last Wednesday on this page, "economic morning" reported the rise of the proportion of customers with banks from Iraqi adults to 23 percent, according to international statistics specialist.

Which is a source of hope and optimism and a sign of the return of confidence in the banking dealings between banks
 And its customers.
Although the ratio is measured on the size of dealers with banks compared to the size of the population, it is a reasonable proportion, meaning that there is a significant development in the performance of banks and the reasons for characterization executive management, most notably the efforts made by the Central Bank and the concerned bodies, which is calculated.
This success comes in the wake of the suffering of banks due to the loss of confidence that was behind several reasons we have referred to in previous articles and there is no room here
 To repeat.
Perhaps the purpose of the program, which was designed by the Central Bank and contributed to the implementation of the Association, which is the financial coverage through many of the events were able to make sure banks success, so banks were able to resume the required banking performance.
The other reason, which is no less important in raising the proportion of users with banks is the program of localization of salaries and the incentives included in it, as well as working methods of electronic payment, as the spokesman said in this regard
Yes, excellent reasons for her presence and effect but.
What are the banks required to sustain the momentum of raising this ratio?
The future indicates a breakthrough and indicators of Iraq's openness to the world and the expansion of foreign trade and the most important signs of the launch of investment strongly, which requires solid banks able to provide the requirements of this openness 
And investment.
Among the most important requirements of investment and construction are the availability of sophisticated banks, solid financial and advanced banking competencies, and this is what the concerned parties, including the Association of Banks, are seeking to achieve through its high-level training programs by bringing international lecturers and the expertise of an Iraqi university academy. The banks must maintain their comprehensive program and expand their banking services, Encourage other social segments to deal with banks.
We believe that banks should not bet on remaining in the labor market unless they offer different banking products and seek the return of credits and deposits with incentives and encouragement. Thus, banks contribute to the re-dissemination of the banking culture, which will increase the rates of those who deal with them.

So let me get this straight.  There is is still 39 Trillion Dinar outside the CBI.   The project to delete the zeroes is to transfer the country from Trillions to Billions.  This would be fine if CBI had the 39 Trillion BUT it is outside of the CBI.  How is this a good thing?

 

This could only be good for us if the majority of the 39 Trillion is inside the borders of Iraq.  Not so good for the Iraqi people.  If I'm wrong someone please explain.

If the CBI really wants to get the 39 trillion IQD Into the banking system;

- start delete the 000 project 

- Increase the dinar exchange rate “RV”

- Rollout Lower denomination notes 

- Replace 000 notes for LD notes with more purchasing power.

 

This will increase financial inclusion 

Give the citizens more purchasing power 

The 39 trillion will get into the banking system

 

just my opinion 

 

Go RV sooner than later 

Go $1:1

I don’t believe the Iraqis are holding their money in their houses because they believe it will RV. My buddy held over 300 Million Dinar in his house in Erbil simply because nobody trusts keeping their money in bank accounts there.. (nothing to do with an RV). They only see banks as a building where you perform a transaction.. if it’s exchanging money for USD or making some kind of transaction monetary type change. Here in the US we are brainwashed to direct deposit our hard earned money into a bank account ( giving them a free loan) so they can use our money (usually interest free for the bank to conduct business). So if you look at it that way, who is actually smarter, us or the Iraqis holding on to their hard earned money at home.. lol

Hi Greg, I just read this thread and have a quick question for you if I may? Since this seems to be a close buddy of yours and I am sure you have asked him what does he say about a future RV or even 1 to 1? 300 million dinar is a lot to keep in a house I would think he would be worried about being robbed first before a bank steals from him but hey I get it the bank accounts got cleaned out before by Sadam and whoever but still curious if your friend believes they will significantly increase the value one day overnight? Thanks
