Baghdad Today - Follow-up

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Abd al-Hadi al-Saadawi, confirmed, Thursday (12-17-2020), that the Iraqis will witness a near shock in which a new and large rise in the dollar exchange rate will take place.

"The Central Bank of Iraq will raise the dollar exchange rate to 1450 Iraqi dinars next Sunday," Al-Saadawi said in a televised interview, which he followed (Baghdad Today), indicating that "what was leaked from the Ministry of Finance today from a copy of the 2021 budget encourages traders to control the exchange rate."

He added that "most of the money that goes out from the auction selling the currency comes out with false invoices claiming to buy things while the currency is smuggled out by buying unrealistic materials."

And on the border crossings, a member of the Finance Committee indicated that "the state does not control the financial policy, and the evidence is that it does not control the ports that enter prohibited materials or outside the specifications."

Al-Saadawi stressed that "the government should take the initiative to agree with neighboring countries (Syria, Iran and Turkey) to stop dealing with 14 illegal outlets in the Kurdistan Region."

Today, Thursday, the Ministry of Finance expressed its "resentment and deep regret" for the unauthorized publication of the draft budget for 2021.

In a statement received (Baghdad Today) a copy of it, the ministry said, “Budget preparation is a complex technical process that includes many ministries, government institutions and international agencies concerned with the budget over a long period of time and cannot be fully understood without referring to the data, policies and strategies that are based on it, including Government White Paper ”.

She added that "launching it to the media prematurely is an irresponsible act to a large extent, and this may precede the ability of ministers to comment impartially on the draft budget and amend it at a special budget session scheduled to be held next Saturday."

The ministry requested "not to pay attention to the exciting statements related to the budget that may arise during the next two days."

And she continued, "The Council of Ministers will discuss the budget in detail, which is the appropriate place to present its recommendations regarding it." Then the budget, after its approval by the Council of Ministers, is sent to the House of Representatives, ”adding that“ this is the correct approach and framework for discussion and deliberation regarding the budget, not social media, which may be full of inaccurate news

The strange monetary policy and the strange exchange rate in this wondrous economy

 

• THURSDAY, 12-17-2020, PM 5:33
• KARRAR AL-ASADI

Written by: Dr. Emad Abdul Latif Salem

 

- The price of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar in the market now (Thursday 12/17/2020), ranges between 1330 and 1340 to 1350 dinars per dollar (up and down). See the link below.

- The Central Bank continues to sell the dollar at the currency sale window until Thursday 12/17/2020, at 1190 dinars to the dollar. (See the link below).

- Since last Monday 12/14/2020, and until Thursday, 12/17/2020, the price of the dollar against the dinar (in the market) ranged between 1290 and 1340 dinars to the dollar (up and down).

- To counter the rise in the price of the dollar in the market, the Central Bank sold 872,794,644 million dollars through the currency sale window (within only four days, from last Monday to this Thursday), at a price of 1190 dinars to the dollar.

- If we add the central bank's dollar sales last Sunday 12/13/2020 (amounting to 202,311,848 million dollars) to its sales for the past four days, the total sales of the central bank of dollars through the five-day currency sale window will amount to 1075,106,492 million dollars ( That is, one billion and 75 million dollars).
- With all these "generous" sales, the price of the dollar (in the market) continues to rise against the dinar.
Is this a sound and wise monetary "policy"?
Is this even a monetary "policy"?

The Central Bank accuses "analysts" of raising unfounded expectations about its intention to raise the "official" exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, and that this is the main reason behind the rise in the dollar price in the market !!!!
If "the parsers were wrong, what did he do in return?"

And if these "analysts" were wrong, when they demanded a review of the current exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, was the Ministry of Finance also at fault, when it asked the Central Bank in the "white paper" what was mentioned in a text in p53 of it, about the necessity of "studying the price The current exchange of the dollar against the dinar, taking into consideration the requirements of financial and monetary stability, and achieving the competitiveness of the Iraqi economy. ?????

Where is the "coordination" between the fiscal and monetary policies, to define priorities, objectives, and general economic policy directions in this country?

Will every "maker" of politics in this country still sing about "Layla" ... so that we can get from this "orchestra", which has no "leader", this discordant "rhythm"?

Is the monetary policy "wise" or "appropriate", or "responsive" to a situation like this, is for the bank to continue pumping more "cheap" dollars into the market (at a price of 1190 dinars to the dollar) for the "buyers" to sell them in the market, at prices ranging from 130, to 134 thousand dinars to the dollar ???
Who benefits from this cash "mess" in the end ??
And whenever the price of the dollar rose against the dinar (in the market), the bank sold hundreds of millions of dollars every day in order to maintain the current exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar?
Can the central bank continue its policy for a long time, and defend the current exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, indefinitely?
This is difficult, and very difficult, if not impossible.

Are ordinary people ... Are the poor ... Are vulnerable groups of the population the beneficiaries of this situation?
And if they are not the beneficiaries of this "mess", then who is the ultimate beneficiary of such a monetary "policy"?

I will not suggest anything here. In the central bank, as in its board of directors, as in the whole of Iraq, there are "minds" and experiences that can distinguish between right and wrong, and can formulate policies, and can provide solutions, and set priorities, and it is assumed that they have a minimum This is called a "sense of proportion", meaning the distinction between important and most important things.
We cannot afford to waste any more time before our financial and "monetary" collapse ...
Nevertheless, we will wait.
We will wait ...
hopefully the "miracle" that saves us all (Iraq, us, and this wondrous economy) will happen from what we are.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – From next week, the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar will be pushed up to 1,450 dinars per US dollar and will not go lower, according to a Kurdistan Region member of the Iraqi parliament. 

“Starting Sunday, the Central Bank of Iraq will set the value of 100 dollars at 145,000 dinars,” Jamal Kochar, an MP with the Kurdistan Islamic Union, told Rudaw’s Hawraz Gulpi on Thursday.

“The Iraqi government will try to keep the exchange rate at 1,450 dinar per dollar and will try to keep it from increasing, however the government will not let it go lower than that,” he added.

The exchange rate has risen recently, reaching more than 1,300 on Thursday, when the Iraqi parliament’s finance committee called for an urgent meeting to discuss the matter.

The government has reportedly planned a currency devaluation as part of a draft 2021 budget.  

“The government has set 1,450 dinar per dollar as the exchange rate, however by the time the money enters the market and is available to the people, the rate could go up to 1,600 dinar per dollar, due to exchange markets adding interest,” Fazel Nabi, former deputy finance minister, told Rudaw. 

Iraq and the Kurdistan Region have had a rough year financially amid nationwide protests against the government, low oil prices, and lack of a budget for the year. The parliament last month passed the Fiscal Deficit Coverage Bill that allows the government to borrow 12 trillion dinars ($10 billion) from the central bank in order to cover the fiscal deficit and pay civil sector employees for the rest of the year. The bill passed despite a walkout by Kurdish MPs. 

While deadly anti-government protests rocked cities and towns in parts of the Kurdistan Region, a Kurdish delegation arrived in Baghdad last week to settle the prolonged budget dispute between Erbil and Baghdad, but they are yet to reach a deal.

“I ensure that negotiations are ongoing, and will go on until we reach a good deal,” Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region Qubad Talabani said on Tuesday in response to rumors that negotiations have failed.

A source reveals a "trick" behind raising the dollar's exchange rate

Baghdad - IQ

An informed source revealed, Friday (December 18, 2020) a government "trick" behind raising the dollar's exchange rate.

The source, who declined to be named, told  IQ NEWS , "The government resorted to raising the price of the dollar, as an alternative to the option to deduct salaries from employees directly, in order to avoid any significant excitement or any negative reactions against the government."

He added, "The proposal to raise the dollar exchange from 1190 to 1450 in the 2021 budget is consistent with the required deduction rate, which is 20 percent, despite their knowledge of the seriousness of resorting to this option, and the problems related to it in terms of currency inflation and high prices."

According to the initial draft of the 2021 budget, which was circulated by the media yesterday, Thursday, the exchange rate of the dollar will stabilize in the 2021 budget by 1450, or 145 thousand dinars for the 100 dollar category.

The leakage of the draft budget for 2021 led to confusion in the exchange rate of the dinar after the leaked draft set an exchange rate of 1450 dinars to the dollar, which caused a rapid rise in the price of the dollar, which jumped to more than 1350, up from a margin between 1280 and 1320 in the past days.

In addition, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Abdul Hadi Al-Saadawi, said in a televised interview, that the governor of the Central Bank, Mustafa Ghaleb Makhif, informed the committee that the Central Bank will raise the exchange rate of 100 dollars to 145 thousand dinars, starting tomorrow, Sunday.

Earlier in the day, Finance Minister Ali Abdul Amir Allawi said that the previous dollar exchange rate "distorted and damaged the Iraqi economy," referring to the adoption of an exchange rate of 1450 dinars per dollar in the fiscal budget for 2021, while he considered that the rise in salaries and pensions "has become A cause for concern, as it now accounts for 120 percent of oil revenues .

Allawi said in a statement reviewed by  IQ NEWS , that "the 2021 budget adopted an exchange rate of 1450 dinars per dollar, because the previously approved exchange rate of 1182 dinars per dollar is distorted and does not reflect the actual reality," noting that "the previous exchange rate harmed the Iraqi economy." As a result, commodities are being paid from neighboring countries, which has negatively affected the local product.

He pointed out that the government "managed the financial crisis with very limited resources without any support from the international community, and that the failure to issue the Federal Budget Law for the year 2020 created additional burdens when preparing next year's budget, and the reason for not knowing the real numbers required in the spending," noting that " The rise in salaries and pensions has become a cause for concern, as they are now around 120% of oil revenues.
