Donziman Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not only is the US the largest economy but those dollars are in every corner of the world. Hiding in cookie jars and under mattress .There is so much faith in the dollar that some peoples of the world hold onto it like it was gold whereas their own countries money may be up and down like a yoyo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donziman Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 According to google there is only 1.70 trillion $ in circulation including federal reserve notes currency no longer used and outstanding coins. This is a long way from 39 trillion dinars and there country has only 38.2 million people. I don't see dinar=dollar in the near future. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 dinarrock , ive asked greg these same questions his reply to me was erbil / Kurdistan is more secure than any other part of iraq , his friend was very successful in business 300 mill not a issue , and most in iraq feel a powerful iqd is a pipe dream , his iraqi friend spends time outside iraq now and he hardly speaks with him much now .... i asked greg if his friend could tell how change is made in iraq since the smallest currency is a 250 note was curious if they just round up or down to get change close to correct never got a reply .... maybe greg will see ur post and have a update ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Dinarrock! My friend has always been cautious when speaking about a possible RV. I don’t think he believes it will happen like we think it will.. His house in Erbil is very secure. His brother lives there and it is in a gated community. Iraqis just don’t turn their money over to banks like we do here.. maybe that way of thinking is changing now, but that’s just how they feel so they keep their money with them. He told me of a meeting back in January of 2015 (I think) where the Kurdish parliamentarians were to meet with Baghdad to talk about increasing the rate of the Dinar but nothing came if it because the price of oil was so cheap at the time. I hope that answers your questions. It has been a while since I spoke to my friend, I need to give him a call. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielchu Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not all of the dinar mentioned would be given a large number... many are in country and those dinar in iraqi hands would not have much of a notice except smaller numbers on notes . In other words they would not get a bag for dinar UNLESS they left the country with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 What if the central bank stopped selling the dollar? Friday 12 July 2019 52 Abdul Zahra Al Hindawi The sale of the dollar, or the so-called "sale of the dollar", carried out by the Central Bank of Iraq for several years, in the framework of its monetary policy, is one of the most important files that raise a lot of talk about it, there are those who applaud the idea and prepare of the very important procedures of The one to preserve the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, which represents a "barometer" sensitive to measure the strength of national currencies. On the other hand, there is someone who speaks with absolute negativity about the window of sale of the currency, returned to it a door of corruption, corruption and currency smuggling. Sold monthly through that window, The latest in May, as the volume of the sold amount of four billion dollars, according to indicators of the Central Bureau of Statistics, as announced by the Central Bank of Iraq on an ongoing basis. Regardless of the opinion of both parties, pro and opposition, of the mechanism of selling the dollar, if we take the situation impartially, and discussed the issue with its economic dimension, it can be said that the experience of selling the currency, contributed significantly to the preservation of the value of the dinar, which was suffering a lot of instability, We find its value falling, against the dollar, so much so that people in the past were turning the dinar into dollars, so that they would be reassured. But after the start of the sale of currency, the dinar stabilized, and people no longer think to convert it into dollars, and the dealing in dinars is more popular and wide, it has not exceeded its current stable value at 1200 several years ago, which in itself represents support for the strength of the national economy, strength and stability of the currency Is an important positive indicator of the strength of the economy, and countries are strongly seeking this direction in order to maintain their national currencies stable, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the sale of currency has played a prominent role in curbing inflation in Iraq. Prior to that, the indicators of the Central Bureau of Statistics talk about a crazy rise in the annual inflation index, exceeding the (20 percent) sometimes, and such an increase, was threatening the collapse of the currency and then deterioration of the development climate by about a year, but noted, since the start of selling the dollar, saw Inflation indices are stable at rates of 2% or less. In some months, we find a decrease in the index, noting that it is not easy to talk about a drop in inflation in the world, there is always a rise, as a result Demand for many departments and services has increased, with steady increases in population numbers And the growing volume of investments. In addition to the above, the sale of the currency has played a major role in providing the "dollar" coverage of the volume of goods imports over the past years, and if the window is not open, there have been many problems in this regard. But the question that is raised here, from which we move to the other bank, where there are critics of the process, was this "dollar" coverage sound 100 percent ?, certainly the answer would be no, because we are talking about the size of a very large import, amounting to more than 50 billion dollars This is an indication from the Central Bank and others. There are some imports that were not real. They are only papers and receipts, which are offered for the dollar, which is probably Go in other tracks. On the other hand, this is also an aspect of the criticism of the process, is that the sale of the currency caused the emergence of banks, adopted in the process of the window, it was like shops, which buy something from the wholesale market, and then sold retail or retail, This is a problem in itself, because the presence of such emergency shops on the monetary and financial scene in the country has caused a distortion of the image of banks and banks, and distrust between citizens and banks. As the central bank started in cooperation with the Masar Association The Iraqi Special Monitoring this file, take appropriate measures to reduce the proliferation of shops of this kind. And when we talk about reforming the situation, and taking into account all the sharp criticisms of the sale of currency by the Central Bank, to the extent that there are those who describe it as a window of corruption and waste of public money, without taking into account other aspects, including, , To ensure the need of Iraqi citizens who travel to other countries for the purposes of tourism and treatment, and stop trading on the black market, it requires the treatment and procedures that will pruning and refining the window selling the currency and the problems that can not be overlooked. It may be necessary to resort to other mechanisms that are quite different from what is currently being used. Also, there must be a realistic match between what is sold to cover imports and between imported goods and products through coordination with border ports and related parties. In the end, it is certain that practical solutions will exist to address all the disadvantages of the process, in order to preserve public money, before we talk or demand the closure of the window selling the currency in Iraq. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
