Information / Special ...

The economic expert, Ahmed Jassim, confirmed, on Sunday, that the white paper presented by the government is behind the rise in the exchange rates of the dollar, expecting the rates of increase to increase unless the Central Bank addresses the matter.

"The white paper put forward by the government indicated a decrease in the reserves of the Central Bank, which discusses the Central Bank statement issued today," Jassim told Al-Maaloumah.

He added that "the white paper included reducing salaries and adopting austerity in monetary policy," noting that "the matter raised the concerns of traders and capital owners and pushed them to withdraw hard currency from the market, which led to its rise."

Jassim explained that "the solution can be bypassed with simple steps through the central injection of the dollar currency to the market more than demand, to restore stability in its price within the normal rates," noting that "failure to implement this step will push the dollar to a further rise

Speculations and ill-considered measures ... a "black fate" awaits the Iraqi dinar

https://shafaq.com/ar/تقارير-وتحليلات/الورقة-البيضا-تضع-الدينار-العراقي-مام-مصير-سود

Shafaq News / It seems that hunstable security situation in Iraq and the statements of the Ministry of Finance regarding the difficulty of providing salaries for employees have cast a shadow on the dollar exchange rate, which has witnessed over the past two days wide jumps in its price against the Iraqi dinar.

Today, Saturday (October 17, 2020), the Central Kifah Stock Exchange in Baghdad recorded a price of 125,700 Iraqi dinars compared to 100 US dollars, while Al-Harithiya Stock Exchange in Baghdad recorded 125,700 dinars against 100 dollars.

Last Thursday, the Central Kifah Stock Exchange in Baghdad recorded 124,400 Iraqi dinars against 100 US dollars.

Financial experts and economists attributed this rise to the statements made by some officials that the exchange rates of the dollar should be raised in the 2021 budget, while speculators took advantage of these statements and deliberately raised the dollar exchange rate.

 

Continuous rise of the dollar

A professor of political economy at the Iraqi University, Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, said in an interview with Shafaq News that "the price of the dollar will continue to rise in light of the current unexamined policies and procedures," noting that "the dollar is controlled by the Central Bank through the currency auction in normal circumstances."

He continues, "The panic and horror of the situation and the statements of the Minister of Finance about the salaries of employees and the statements of other officials regarding the need to change the exchange rate in the next budget law, have greatly affected the exchange rate through the citizen’s tendency to buy dollars, especially if we know that 77% of the funds are hoarded. The general public is at home, and therefore people will resort to the dollar in light of the economic and security crises, which is the safe option for all other currencies. "

 

Exploiting the chaos

"Speculation continues, and all conditions are favorable for concluding various deals," in this way, the financial expert and member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank, Majid Al-Suri, sees the situation in the Iraqi currency market.

The reasons for this are shown in an interview with Shafaq News Agency that "the Central Bank of Iraq did not pump money today, Saturday and Friday, through the auction, and therefore speculators took advantage of the lack of supply and exploited the media chaos in general, whether by the government or by some politicians that demanded the need to reduce the value." The Iraqi dinar is to solve the value of salaries. "

Al-Suri confirms that "the reduction in the value of the dinar can be implemented, but in a more bitter way than the largest devaluation or any other measure." Multiplier plays its role with the issue. "

He pointed out that "what is being presented now is one of the dangerous things for the Iraqi people, as the monetary inflation will lead to more impoverishment not only for the working class, but for all groups of Iraqi society."

He pointed out that "the correct procedure is to reduce operating expenses, in particular, and to reduce the salaries and allowances of officials in the Iraqi state from the fifth and above," indicating that "the advertisements and pressures that exist to pressure the bank to reduce the value of the Iraqi dinar."

 

Corruption alliance

For his part, the head of the Economic Media Center, Dergham Muhammad Ali, said in an interview with Shafaq News that "the reasons for the dollar's rise in front of the dinar are that the latter is affected by the statements, and therefore the bank governor's announcement of the decline in the cash reserve   would force the bank to reduce its sales so that it does not cover all transfers and thus it will There is less supply and more demand for the dollar. "

He adds that "the second reason is the lack of a direct window from the central bank to sell the dollar to the citizen and the merchant makes the banks form a corruption alliance to create a black market for the dollar."

The head of the Economic Media Center proposes a solution to make the dollar stable, which is to open direct selling windows to small traders and small transfers at the official rate without the intermediation of banks.

 

The white paper is the reason

As for the member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Ahmad Hama Rashid, he said in an interview with Shafaq News that "one of the proposals presented by the government in the Parliament White Paper is to review the exchange rate of the dollar," indicating that "the budget has accumulated deficits and the state wants to finance the budget with a deficit, that is. Inflationary financing. "

Rasheed explains that "the existing proposal and the proposal in the white paper do not have two sides, but rather one aspect, which is the rise in the price of the dollar against the dinar."

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Naji Al-Saeedi, on Sunday (10/18-2020), said that printing the currency by the Central Bank is a violation of the law, and will harm the country's economic position and float the currency. 

Al-Saeedi said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), "The Central Bank used the method of printing currency, although it is a step inconsistent with the bank law, which confirms that printing banknotes is a routine technical procedure practiced by the bank according to the requirements of cash circulation." He added that "this procedure will harm the economic and financial center of Iraq and generate corruption files. Therefore, the management of the central bank must be reconsidered because it is not worthy of this task."

Yesterday, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Naji Al-Saeedi, said that the new cash issue to finance internal borrowing will contribute to raising the exchange rate.

Al-Saeedi wrote in his Twitter account: "The Central Bank's use of the new cash issue to finance internal borrowing (to fill the budget deficit) will lead to an increase in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, which will lead to an increase in the price of goods."

He continued: "The beneficiaries of this process are the joint banks in the window of selling the currency," considering it "legal theft of the people's money."

Hmmmm.   .82 is pretty close to the .84 VISA rate that shows on the  Ferates.com world currency exchange rates site. 

 

Give:
IQD – iraqi dinar
 
How much to exchange
or
Receive:
USD – US dollar
How much to receive
Selling 100.00 IQD you will receive:
Visa 84.03 $ 
 
0.8403 

 

And let's not forget they want to start taxing the Iraqis this month.

I've seen where they leave the 0s out of the figure. When they said 120 for every 100 usd, it meant to read 120,000 for every 100 usd. This could be different than what I've seen in the past, who knows.

Longtimelurker you are correct.. I have seen them abbreviate the rate that way also in the past. They usually mean 121,000 or 120,000 for every $100..

 

IMO nothing to get excited about yet..
