And the local markets indicate a continuous rise in exchange rates, as it closed in Baghdad yesterday at 164,700 Iraqi dinars, compared to 100 dollars.

 

Economic expert Adham Al-Fakhar confirmed that "Iraq is one of the countries affecting the world economy, because there is a large and wide labor market that accommodates local and international companies, and attention is directed to it because it has important ingredients, which requires that we have an ideal environment, one of the most important pillars of which is the stability of the exchange rate." .

Or their sales with the various departments of the state, whose dues were not released until the issuance of these instructions.. And the sale of the dollar is in favor of the contractor or the supplier according to a letter of endorsement issued by the contracting party exclusively. 

 

And the Central Bank of Iraq had announced the facilitation of the procedures for travelers to obtain foreign currency (dollars) for travel purposes by expanding the outlets for selling foreign currency (dollars) in cash by increasing the shares of bank outlets, and the increase in the shares of the banks mentioned below will be initiated, as for the rest outlets Banks will be expanded later.

 

Submit an invoice

 

He pointed out that "it requires the Central Bank to adopt paths and mechanisms that maintain the stability of exchange rates, the most important of which is when issuing an external transfer in response to the request of any Iraqi citizen in a personal or moral capacity or an entity residing or working in Iraq officially, Iraqi banks undertake the request from the person transferred from His account is to submit an invoice only, Proforma Invoice, and this invoice is not required to be signed or sealed, because the global issuance systems depend on the electronic version and not the old paper version and its signatures. 

 

Types of transfers

 

He urged that "the Iraqi private and governmental banks issue all types of remittances or documentary credits and in the US dollar or the currency desired by the person transferred by him according to the customer's desire, and at the exchange rate approved by the Central Bank of Iraq 1450 dinars to the dollar, in addition to obliging all banks Working in Iraq by activating the bank transfer system - Swift within one week, otherwise the lagging bank is not allowed to trade foreign currency or enter the currency sale window to the Central Bank of Iraq for a month, and in the event that the bank insists not to activate the transfer system during a subsequent month, then the bank's work permit is withdrawn and annul his entity and refer him to the judiciary.”

And he stressed that "Iraqi banks are exclusively concerned with issuing remittances or issuing documentary credits, the issuer bank, and not for the bank to play the role of a paper correspondence office for other regional or foreign banks, which undertakes the main transfer process or issuance of credits, in order to ensure that remittance fees are collected from the customer for one time in favor of Iraqi banks and not to pay multiple fees for the same purpose and in favor of several banks that play the same role.

 

logical reason

 

Al-Fakhar stated, “The importance of all private and governmental banks issuing all types of bank transfers and all documentary credits from the account of any Iraqi citizen, Iraqi legal entity, or person or entity residing in Iraq officially, provided that they have a bank account and that the transfer or documentary credit is for any logical reason.” Pointing to the need for all private or official banks to be prevented from declaring any foreign transfers, documentary credits, or any banking information related to any customer in favor of any third party other than the customer and the bank, regardless of their capacity as official or legal, except with the consent and request of the customer or by virtue of a judicial order in accordance with a decision.

Expert hints at dollar stabilization at a certain number: two options before the dinar deteriorates further - urgent

•  40 minutes ago
•  

Baghdad Today-Baghdad

Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi hinted on Friday that the dollar against the dinar will stabilize at 161 thousand dinars per 100 dollars, while stressing that there are only two solutions to prevent the dinar from deteriorating further.

Al-Marsoomi said in a clarification received by "Baghdad Today": "Finally, the dollar is equal to 1610 dinars, and the reason: the application of the electronic platform."

He added that "the remedy is to adapt to the rules of the electronic platform, or postpone their application if the United States of America agrees."

He stressed that "without these two solutions, the dinar will deteriorate further, and others are just empty talk, excessive philosophy without meaning, and unjustified headaches for heads."

Experts and specialists point to the ineffectiveness of the Central Bank's measures to control the rise in dollar prices, as the bank continues to pump dollars into cash sales, while the demand is concentrated on dollars for foreign remittances for the purpose of imports.
