Economist: The currency auction is a drain on the dollar and a benefit for the corrupt
  
{Economic: Al Furat News} An economic expert called on the Central Bank of Iraq to review its auction policy for the sale of foreign currency.

And the Iraqi Economists Network quoted in a post on its Facebook page, Siham Youssef, as saying, “The exit of funds currently from Iraq through the currency auction of the Central Bank of Iraq is not in the interest of the Iraqi economy. Remittances outside their countries, which are economically prosperous countries.
She added, "These countries are institutional countries, enjoying security and political stability and a comfortable investment climate, which made them a magnet for foreign investors, who are now re-employing their money inside the country and developing their investments, especially in light of the availability of profitable investment opportunities. The increase in the volume of remittances exported abroad from these countries." Countries have a positive impact on their economic growth. The UAE, for example, but not limited to, in the year 2020, the remittances exported from them (43.2 billion dollars), in contrast, foreign direct investment in the country rose to 19.88 billion dollars in 2020, with a growth rate of 44.2%. over the previous year.”
Youssef noted, "In Iraq, the increase in the value of the currency exported abroad was not accompanied by an increase in the volume of foreign direct investments, so we did not see a positive impact on the Iraqi economy. , the lack of security and the exposure of investors to extortion and kidnappings in order to obtain the royalties and money,” as she put it.
The economic expert called "the central bank to restore its accounts and stop this depletion of hard currency, which the corrupt took advantage of forging import bills."
It is noteworthy that the Central Bank of Iraq continues daily to sell the dollar in the currency auction, as its sales during the month of August amounted to more than 5 billion dollars.

Baghdad - INA
The Central Bank has identified the functions of the hard currency sale window and its importance to the Iraqi economy.
Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Ihsan al-Yasiri, said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), today, Saturday: "The window for selling currency was found to meet the needs of the private sector to finance foreign trade, but some view it as a unilateral view, as if the imposed state resources of foreign currency cannot be Touch it, and this may be a desire or wish from the people, but there are functions for the window for selling foreign currency.” 
He added that "the window performs two very important functions, the first is to provide dollars to the economic sector and importers, because the importer cannot buy dollars from another place except from banks or the central bank, so the central bank transfers the dollars that the merchant needs to the bank to deal with the entity that exports the commodity to Iraq," stressing that "this job is important because the real sector in Iraq cannot meet all the requirements of the Iraqi economy and consumer, so it is still highly dependent on imports."
Al-Yasiri added that "the second function of the currency sale window is that the central bank's function in managing and issuing the Iraqi currency is based on providing the Iraqi dinar to the government, which is the first consumer, and in turn it sells the dollar to the central bank," noting that "
He stressed that "when the dinar leaves the central bank, it is called idiomatically (the exporter of circulation) because the dinar exited from the coffers of the central bank and went to the banking system and then to the private sector," noting that "in the event that the dollar is not sold from the central bank, inflation will be at high levels." .
Al-Yasiri added that "the banks are the source of circulation and have 83 trillion dinars, and these amounts compete for goods and services at certain prices," noting that "in the event that the central bank does not sell the dollar, the citizen has to deposit the dinar in the banks, which in turn deposit it in the central bank."
He pointed out that "the Ministry of Finance is selling the dollar to the central bank in order to obtain the dinar for the purposes of salaries and other uses, which are estimated monthly at 7 to 8 trillion dinars," noting that "the central bank in the event that the dinar does not reach it from the parties that buy the dollar must print the dinar." And therefore, every month, it is necessary to add to the source for circulation in the range of 7 to 8 trillion dinars.
And he added, "In this case, the source for circulation will become annually, increasing in the range of 70 to 80 to 90 trillion Iraqi dinars, and therefore it is possible for the source for circulation within 5 years to reach 300 or 400 trillion Iraqi dinars," stressing that "every monetary issuance of this level without being There is control or recovery of it or sterilization of the market or sterilization of the source for circulation. It means that there will be large quantities and amounts of dinars competing for limited levels of goods and services and thus inflation will reach unacceptable levels, as happened to Germany after World War II when a person goes to buy bread or bread on it. To fill the basket with money and go to the bakery.” 
He pointed out that “the function of the currency sale window must be continued to meet the import and to provide the Iraqi dinar so that the process continues with the dinar going out to the market and sterilized by returning it to the coffers of the central bank and the source decreases for circulation, and thus the pace of the source’s escalation of circulation is now simple, possible in the month or year to rise A certain rise, but not every batch of the sums goes out to the issuer for circulation.”
Al-Shammari stated, "there is no discrimination between banks through the currency sale window," stressing that "the central bank, by its law, sells the dollar simply and without conditions."
And he indicated that "the infallibility or transcendence in the central banks is the national currency and not the foreign currency, so when the national currency comes and examines its sources, it is the right of any citizen who carries the Iraqi dinar to convert it to the dollar," noting that "

Currency auction sales drop... and an expert explains why
  
{Economic: Al Furat News} An economist explained, the reason for the decrease in the currency auction sales of the Central Bank of Iraq from the dollar.

Nabil Al-Marsoumi said: "The Central Bank of Iraq's US dollar sales decreased from 5.530 billion dollars last August to 4.723 billion dollars last September, while the amounts of remittances and credits to cover imports decreased from 4.696 billion dollars in August to 3.970 billion in September, a decrease of 726 million dollars. dollars, a decrease of 15%.
And the reason for this may be due to the significant drop in global freight rates, as the prices of container shipping coming from East Asia, specifically from China, decreased by 80%, and accordingly the prices of container transportation from China to the Red Sea decreased from 12 thousand dollars to 2500 dollars per container. This decline is mainly related to the decrease in the volume of trade between China and the United States, which led to the availability of large ships with huge loading capacities that changed their directions from the United States to other countries.
Al-Marsoumi pointed out that "it is known that Iraq pays very large sums annually for shipping and insurance costs, which in 2020 amounted to 7.222 billion dollars."
