The Iraqi Central Bank in exchange for the Iraqi dinar that it uses to finance its expenses locally .

The governor added, "This led to a decline in the accumulated quantities of foreign currency at the central bank, in addition to the process of discounting the securities issued by the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of bridging the deficit witnessed by the government in financing its spending, especially the current spending by the Central Bank of Iraq for the benefit of government banks ."

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Ghaleb Makhaif, complained, on Wednesday, about the “decline” of his foreign currency reserves, attributing the reason to the increase in import financing and the decline in dollar revenues from the Ministry of Finance.

“The decline in the global price of oil and the reduction in production in Iraq, based on the OPEC agreement, led to a decrease in crude oil revenues, and thus the dollar amounts that were sold by the Ministry of Finance to the Central Bank of Iraq in exchange for the Iraqi dinar that it uses to finance its expenditures locally,” he said. .

He added, "This led to a decline in the accumulated quantities of foreign currency at the central bank, as well as the process of discounting the securities issued by the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of bridging the deficit witnessed by the government in financing its spending, especially the current spending by the Iraqi Central Bank for the benefit of government banks."

 

He noted that “the majority of current spending will turn into a consumer demand that ultimately represents a demand for the US dollar, and with the central bank meeting this demand to finance imports, foreign reserves are expected to witness a decline in addition to the decline resulting from the decline in oil revenues if the current data do not change. “.

 

Earlier, the Minister of Finance revealed that the cash reserve at the Central Bank is $ 53 billion, while late last year the reserve reached $ 67.6 billion, which means that the reserve has lost about $ 15 billion.

Independent ... Iraq is going through an economic period that can be seen and evaluated as one of the worst economic crises the country is going through.

The most important cause of this economic crisis is the succession of successive governments in Iraq that did not properly manage its resources, or it might be the Corona crisis that is sweeping the whole world, not just Iraq, and the cause of that crisis could be the decline in Iraq's oil production.

All of these reasons brought Iraq to where it is today, and it had recently suffered from delays in paying salaries to state employees.

 

Despite all these reasons that plague the Iraqi economy, the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Schaif, expected that Iraqi foreign reserves would decline during the coming period more.

Where the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq suggested that the decline in the global price of oil and the reduction in production in Iraq, based on the OPEC agreement, led to a decrease in crude oil revenues, and thus this decrease will lead to a decline in the dollar amounts that the Ministry of Finance was selling to the Central Bank of Iraq in exchange for the Iraqi dinar Which she uses to finance her spending locally

“Frightening” stated that this led to a decline in the accumulated quantities of foreign currency at the central bank, as well as the process of discounting the securities issued by the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of bridging the deficit witnessed by the government in financing its spending, especially the current spending by the Central Bank of Iraq in favor of government banks.

And he added that the majority of current spending will turn into a consumer demand that ultimately represents a demand for the US dollar, and with the Central Bank meeting this demand to finance imports, foreign reserves are expected to witness a decline in addition to the decline resulting from the decline in oil revenues if the current data do not change.
