An economist proposes the idea of a "food dollar" to restore the prices of materials to their previous history

 

 

671 Economie 02/25/2021 21:53 Baghdad today -

Baghdad Economic expert Rasem Al-Aqidi proposed, today, Thursday, an idea called "the food dollar" in order to restore the price compass in the Iraqi market to before the devaluation of the dinar against the dollar, he said. Rasim Al-Aqidi said, in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that "raising the value of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar and making the exchange rate 1450 dinars per dollar, came with a proposal from the International Monetary Fund and experts in the financial world of the Iraqi government, in order to cut off the road to smuggling hard currency that continued." For many years. " Al-Aqidi added, "Restoring the price to its previous state with the rise in oil prices, the mechanisms of smuggling will also return to the outside, by legitimate means through the same window, and sales of dollars will be doubled to high numbers." The economist pointed out, "Despite the advantages of raising the dollar’s exchange rate, including doubling the state’s revenues from the dinar to cover all financial activities, including the payment of salaries, but in return it raised prices in the markets, and caused damage to many segments, including the poor and the middle class." Rasem Al-Aqidi explained, "The damages resulting from the raising of the exchange rate can be overcome by adopting what we call the dollar as food, which is the process of selling the dollar to traders at the old price, while placing the difference between the old and the new price in the trusts, and when the merchant comes and presents his papers that prove that he has actually imported The goods and the payment of customs according to the automated mechanisms, the trusts will be returned to him, and thus we limit the process of selling dollars to finance materials and goods that are not produced in the markets. The economic expert stressed, "The proposal will protect hard currency from smuggling and secure basic materials at low prices in the Iraqi market." The exchange rates of the dollar recorded, today, Thursday (February 25, 2021), a slight decrease during today's trading in the capital, Baghdad, after stabilizing in the last period at 146,500 dinars. The prices in Baghdad’s exchange came, roughly, in the Al-Kifah Stock Exchange 145,350 / buying one hundred dollars at 144,750 dinars / selling one hundred dollars at 145,750 dinars. Since the collapse of oil prices earlier this year, Iraq is facing an unprecedented liquidity crisis, the government of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi has been forced to borrow from the bank's reserves in dollars to pay nearly $ 5 billion a month, representing public sector salaries and pensions. The decision sparked a wave of anger in the Iraqi street, but Al-Kazemi defended his government's move and said that he had two options: "Either the collapse of the regime and enter into complete chaos, or we enter into a Caesarean section for reform." During his speech at the Cabinet session, Al-Kazemi cited several countries, including South Korea and Singapore, when they had previously taken "difficult decisions" to reform the economy.

The darn committee should have been formed to study ‘the damages” of changing the rate BEFORE they made the stupid decision. It didn’t require a genius to know what was going to happen. I know more about the Middle East now than I ever wanted to know and I hope I never have to hear of it again after we get our money. 😡😃
