Baghdad Today - Special

Today, Sunday, the Parliament’s Finance Committee suspended again regarding the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, at the present time.

 Committee member Muhammad Ibrahim told (Baghdad Today), “The relevant executive government authorities are urgently required to review the decision to raise the dollar exchange rate, at the time, especially since all the justifications and arguments for this decision have disappeared after the rise in oil prices in global markets. “.

And Ibrahim indicated that "citizens so far are still suffering from the consequences of this decision, which has burdened the citizen, especially since this decision has caused a significant increase in the prices of food and other materials."

The committee member continued: "We in the Finance Committee will continue to demand that the dollar exchange rate be restored to its old price, after the improvement of oil prices."

I wonder if their demand holds any weight..? Also, as long as they’re “demanding”, they should ask for the old rate of $3+ 😉

I like what i am reading. Restored to its old price? I still have a doubt that the rate will be back to 1190 or 1170. And, the rate 1:1 isn't called the old rate, either because from looking the history of iraq dinar, the previous rate ( before and during saddam's regime ) was never been 1:1.

After the improvement of oil prices? How much was the oil price  they were talking about? Until $100/ barrel or above $100/ barrel? Hopefully, the oil prices will go up above $100/ barrel until the end of this year and hopefully, after that they will rv the iqd.

Prediction: U.S. troops are leaving Afghanistan. This will create political momentum, for remaining American troops to leave Iraq. This means 100% sovereign Iraq, which means tradable currency, which means for us...:bagofmoney:

 

Or.....just as the Taliban are over running Afghanistan now we may see an ISIS resurgence and back to the stone age for the next several years.   :shrug:

Scoff at me if you will , but nobody really knows when the rv will be ,  It would be  too damn hard  for the powers that be to keep  a secret like this .  All of them not saying a word about this , is illogical . It would be on the street by now.  It's a synergy of events that will pop this thing . 

What we do know is that we're getting damn close .

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The dinar-dollar exchange rate will be fixed for the next five years, a member of the Iraqi parliament’s finance committee told state media on Sunday.

“The exchange rate will remain at this rate for the next five years,” Naji al-Saidi told state media.

According to Saidi, the government had three main reasons to devalue the dinar: to reduce deficit in the budget, to increase reserves, and to make domestic goods more competitive in markets.

In the 2021 budget law, the Iraqi parliament voted on setting the price of dinar at 1,450 dinars per dollar.

Iraqi state media announced on December 19 that the Central Bank would set the dollar at 1,470 IQD for the public.

The devaluation of the Iraqi dinar is a step towards reform and creating a “financial balance” that will revive the economy, Iraq’s Minister of Finance said at the time.

A member of the finance committee said in January that the devaluation will save the country around 12 trillion dinars in 2021.

The devaluation of the dinar struck the public hard as government employees get paid in dinar, and they would be able to afford less with their salaries given that many imported goods are paid for in dollars.

The spokesperson for Iraq’s Ministry of Planning told state media in April that the devaluation had caused inflation to increase by around 5 percent and that primary poverty indicators rose between 26 and 27 percent.

Iraq has been gripped by an economic crisis, exacerbated by a drop in oil prices and the global coronavirus pandemic, which has left many unemployed. The devaluation of the dinar only added to the financial burden on people.

The country has almost exclusively relied on oil revenues since the US invasion in 2003. In June last year, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi stated that the country currently gets 94.7 percent of its income from oil sales, a business that is also carried out in dollars.

Iraq’s poverty rate stood at about 20 percent before the coronavirus pandemic – but in November, the World Bank Group estimated the poverty rate in Iraq will increase by seven to 14 percent, calling on Baghdad to introduce urgent economic reforms.

At the time the devaluation was decided, influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr voiced his skepticism of the measure’s ability to alleviate public suffering.

“The Central Bank and all other banks are prisoners of corruption and corrupters. The government and parliament must seek specialized methods to end this and liberalize it immediately. It is not,” Sadr tweeted on December 19.

Iraqi demonstrators took to Baghdad’s protest epicentre Tahrir Square on December 21 to air their discontent after the government decision to devalue the country's currency.
