SULAIMANI — The US dollar to Iraqi dinar exchange rate continued to rise on the Kurdistan Region’s currency markets on Tuesday afternoon (June 😎 from 149,900 IQD to 150,200 IQD per $100, one of the highest levels seen since the dinar was devalued as part of the 2021 Federal Budget Law.

Spokesperson for the Sulaimani Currency Market Jabar Goran told NRT that the reason behind the increase was high demand for US dollars from businesspeople and ordinary consumers.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, imports of goods from abroad, which are often paid for in US dollars, have been lower than normal over the past year. As trade has picked up in recent months, so has demand for dollars.

This dynamic is exacerbated by the belief among some consumers that the Iraqi dinar’s value will continue to decrease, prompting many to buy up US dollars as a speculative investment or as a hedge.

Goran said, however, that he believes that the price will likely stabilize.

What drives the widening gap between the CBI and the Market U.S. dollar exchange rates?

Shafaq News/ Over the past two days, the U.S. dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi has skyrocketed, hitting the milestone of 150,000 Iraqi dinars for every 100 U.S. dollars, the highest since pegging the dinar in the Federal Budget at the rate of 145,000 to 100.

 

Economists, bankers, and finance experts shed light upon a spectrum of factors inherent in the fast depreciation pace. However, they all pinpointed the "hard currency drainage via the daily sales of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) in the daily currency auctions" as a significant and independent, yet dangerous, factor in the downward drive of the Iraqi national currency.

"There are many causes. Most notably, the citizen's lack of confidence in the national currency and the preference to demand and hoard the dollar in lieu of the unstable dinar," the financial and economic expert, Hilal Tahhan, told Shafaq News Agency.

"Another major factor is the dollar 'smuggling' outside the state via the [currency] auction held daily by the [central] bank. The non-cash transactions always outdo the cash transactions, as all the [former] transactions go abroad to boost the imports. With inflated invoices of imported goods and freights, the hard currency difference [between the actual and the registered invoices] slides to foreign banks under various entities."

The economic expert, Dergham Muhammad Ali, said in a statement to Shafaq News Agency, "the rise of the dollar [exchange rates] is caused by the Central Bank's policies by limiting the dollar sales to banks, perpetuating the oligopoly of foreign currency and selling huge sums as [non-cash] transactions allowing smuggling and creating a black market."

"Government parties and the Central Bank colluding with private banks, most of which are owned by politicians, are liable in the tort of the soaring exchange rate. The government, aware of the frail public pressure, continues to connive with the dollar mobs in the country to harvest more money," he added.

"Fixing the exchange rate in the budget prompted the importers to buy dollars to fund the external trade after halting the purchase recently," the professor of economics at the Iraqi University, Abdul Rahman al-Mashhadani, said.

He added, "the bank needs to boost its sales in the auction to supply the imports," noting that "smuggling" is only a "pretext" and not an "actual cause" for the devaluation.

The owner of "al-Bawasel Exchange" company, Muhammad Hamza, cited several factors for the increasing demand for dollar bills, "loans granted by the government to finance residential units and cars purchase need hard currency. The Iraqi citizen's easy drive-by rumors is another cause."

In a statement to Shafaq News Agency, a government source accused "speculations in the market" of fueling the already on fire dollar exchange rates, indicating that the CBI will continue to finance imports.

The source, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said, "the [Central] Bank will finally be able to fix the exchange rate via its own tools and maintain a small difference between the Bank price and the market price."

Maybe the plan all along has been to get it to go the wrong way until the people revolt and then "fix it", so the government can then be the savior of the people.


My merry band of 18 year investors kinda figured with the all the goings on this year that might just be the plan for quite some time now....hopefully follow through is closer than “ in the coming days “

Got saddle sores from this 18 year Rodeo.

information / special

Political analyst Haitham Al-Khazali confirmed, on Tuesday, that the rise in the price of the dollar was offset by two phenomena, the first of which is the rise in real estate prices, and the second is the increase in central bank sales of dollars, which were the fruits of whales of corruption.

Al-Khazali said in a statement to the “Information” agency that “the rise in the price of the dollar was offset by two phenomena. Raising the price of the dollar is to prevent currency smuggling and preserve reserves.”

He added that "the process of the dollar's rise is a political process, not an economic one, and there are whales who are benefiting from the rise of the dollar."

He pointed out that " Iraq imports everything in dollars, and reducing it will be in the interest of the country, not the other way around."

It is worth noting that the dollar exchange rate in the market has reached 150 thousand per note, and experts have confirmed that there is a possibility for the price of one note to reach 155 thousand dinars.

The CBI has no control over the auctions,above is a lie when saying the CBI will finally be able to fix the exchange rate via its own tools and maintain a small diff bet the Bank & the market. The CBI said before they have control and the dollar not go above 1500. They have no control as was stated many times the corrupt private Banks  and whales are in control of whom the bigger powerful political groups along with whales own the Banks making Millions each day. Why would they want to change when the politicians are making millions each day. They will continue this and smuggling til dooms day. These politicians are laughing at us holding the dinars every time they look at their Bank accounts. They are not going to let the dinar strenghten in value a for  RV. as stated they will keep the dinar weak. You read the articles you can see whats really happening with this toilet paper dinar. Just my humble opinion watching this after all these years.

Information/Baghdad.

The economist, Ihsan Al-Kinani, said, on Wednesday, that the government imposed measures and raised the exchange rate of the dollar, as it caused all prices to rise, pointing out that many traders took advantage of the crisis and raised prices more than their normal value.

Al-Kinani said in a statement to "The Information", that "the government raised the dollar by 23 percent, and it caused an increase in the poverty rate, and an increase in all prices for local and imported materials."

He added, "The government's measures for the current economic situation will create a disaster in the coming days, especially with the continued rise in the dollar exchange rate, after its value reached 151 thousand dinars for one hundred dollars."

Al-Kinani indicated that "many merchants resorted to exploiting the current situation, and raised the prices of their materials to double, as they participated in the government's siege of the people, in addition to the fact that the government did not take any action with those who raise prices in the market." finished/ 25 n

A member of the House of Representatives announced, today, Wednesday, that the rise in the dollar exchange rate above 150 thousand Iraqi dinars is a legal violation, indicating that the House of Representatives will host the Minister of Finance in the federal government to find out the reasons for the high exchange rate of the dollar.

Representative Arzo Mahmoud, a member of Parliament from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan bloc , said during a special statement to PUKmedia , that the rise in the dollar exchange rate to 150 thousand Iraqi dinars is a legal violation, noting that the exchange rate was set in the federal budget at 145 thousand dinars.

And she added: He and on this issue asked us to host the Minister of Finance in the Federal Government to the House of Representatives for the purpose of knowing the high exchange rates of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, pointing out that hosting the minister did not take place due to the failure to hold a session of the House of Representatives, which failed twice to hold its session due to the lack of a quorum to hold it .

For his part, Ramzi Komshini, an economist and owner of a securities office in Erbil , attributed to PUKmedia , the reason for the high exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar to the decrease in the injection of hard currency into the markets by the Central Bank of Iraq.

He added: The decrease in the percentage of hard currency in the market with the increase in demand for the dollar is increasing its selling price against the Iraqi dinar, explaining that the high exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar has a direct impact on employees and earners, especially those who receive their salaries and wages in Iraqi dinar.

Parliamentary reveals a group of merchants that take the lion's share of dollar sales

Posted 4 hours ago

/ follow / m. a

Representative Alia Nassif revealed, on Wednesday, the presence of a group of merchants that own the lion's share of dollar sales and make crazy profits at the expense of the Iraqi people, calling on the governor of the Central Bank to implement a campaign to reform and root out spoilers.

Nassif said, in a statement received by (Iraqi News Agency /) that "the rise in dollar prices despite the high sales of the daily auction of the Central Bank is caused by the monopoly of dollar sales by three people who own well-known banks, and these get the largest share of dollar sales in collusion with some corrupt “.

And he added, “The Central Bank’s sales, for example, for the period from 4/11 to 6/4/2021 amounted to (6162125) dollars (six billion, one hundred and sixty-two million, one hundred and twenty-five dollars) and for 33 working days (excluding holidays and holidays), and it acquired The three merchants got most of these sales, as the first (who owns three banks) got 850 million dollars out of the six billion sold by the Central Bank, the second (a bank owner) got 264 million dollars, and the third (the owner of a Kurdish bank) got 200 million dollars. Note that these three controlled the currency auction in the last three months of last year, which preceded the rise in the price of the dollar, because they were aware that it would rise, and thus hit their strike and their banks obtained nearly two billion dollars to resell it after raising its price by the state, meaning that they bought The dollar was for 119 dinars and they sold it for more than 140 dinars.”

Nassif indicated: “Since holding these merchants and employees colluding with them is almost impossible because they are an octopus that extends even to Parliament, to the point that dismissing a minister or dismissing a government is easier than holding them accountable, the alternative solution is for the governor of the Central Bank to implement a campaign to reform and root out the corrupt and stop the wheel of corruption In the currency auction in one way or another, and to stop this attrition that destroyed the Iraqi economy, and if it is not stopped, poverty will increase to reach dangerous levels, knowing that the high price of the dollar serves all the corrupt and burdens the poor
