He added that "the measures practiced by Iraq in combating money laundering are good, despite the fact that the conditions of trade in Iraq in the last 20 years took place through irregular financing in most of its paragraphs, and this raised the ire of international prospects , especially the prospects for compliance with the conditions of global institutions.

And he stated, “Most of the foreign transfers made by Iraqi banks are supposed to be transparent, and on this basis (the central bank platform) was formed, which rejected thousands of money transfers because they do not use the correct mechanisms.”

He pointed out that "the Central Bank has an important lever that it launched to facilitate the freedom of external transfer through the international banking system and financial institutions that are subject to compliance, and there is cooperation between Iraq and those agencies, especially the Financial Action Organization, so Iraq is complying with this cod and needs some time to change some things."

The advisor to the prime minister for financial affairs explained that "international Iraqi cooperation continues and will reflect positively on the price of the Iraqi dinar."

Experts: Money laundering traffickers turned to three activities in the Iraqi markets
 

Baghdad - Nas  

Economic experts expressed optimism about the procedures of the competent authorities in the fields of combating money laundering and preventing the financing of terrorism, while one of them revealed the current destinations for money laundering traffickers in the Iraqi markets.  

  

  

  

The Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said in an interview with the official newspaper, followed by “Nass” (February 8, 2023), that “Iraq has made great strides in combating the financing of terrorism and money laundering,” noting that “last year the European Union raised the name of Iraq.” One of the most dangerous countries and moved from the gray list to the white list.  

  

He added, "The measures practiced by Iraq in combating money laundering are good, despite the fact that the conditions of trade in Iraq in the last 20 years took place through irregular financing in most of its paragraphs, and this raised the ire of international prospects, especially the prospects for compliance with the conditions of global institutions."   

  

And he indicated that "most of the foreign transfers made by Iraqi banks are supposed to be transparent, and on this basis (the central bank platform) was formed, which rejected thousands of money transfers because they do not use the correct mechanisms."   

  

For his part, the economist, Dr. Qusai Safwan, stated that "the process of combating money laundering falls within the responsibility of the Central Bank of Iraq in detecting the army of money that enters the banking system in the country."  

  

He added, in an interview with the official newspaper, that there are a set of conditions, and the owner of the Iraqi dinar is supposed to be asked (from where did you get this dinar?) for the purpose of entering the Iraqi electronic platform.  

  

He explained that "the banking procedures were accompanied by many violations due to the system of dividing the coefficient into more than one customer and the process of moving accounts between customers, as well as the difficulty of knowing the commercial companies whether they are real or fake?", noting that "the problem is: Where does the Iraqi dinar come from?" .   

  

Safwan pointed out that "Those who trade in money laundering today have turned to the real estate market, gold, and the cash dollar that is outside the banking system, and certainly the Council of Ministers is required to open an office inside the real estate market, and open the files of foreign real estate transfers that took place in recent years to find out (where it came from). Iraqi dinar) through which many properties were purchased in neighboring countries and countries of the world with Iraqi money.   

  

He pointed out that "the sooner the terms of the US Treasury are complied with in a quick manner and we encourage Iraqi banks to obtain documentary credits, we reconsider the issue of customs and taxes that are imposed on merchants for the purpose of import - especially in previous years because they are afraid to enter the auction for selling the currency for fear that they will incur previous debts and a discount." Taxes and customs - all of this will contribute to lowering the price of the dollar."

Reducing the dollar exchange rate to 130 thousand. Benefit to the citizen and increase the budget deficit in 2023

1608458265816-810x499.jpg
News source

Baghdad Today - Follow-up

The expected decision to change the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar implemented many aspects, including positive and negative, according to economists, the first is to reduce inflation and benefit the citizen, and the other is to raise the budget deficit, which will return the state to borrow, if there is no rationalization in government spending.

The government's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Mohamed Saleh, told the official news agency that the decision to reduce it was "necessary" to curb inflation and that it was timely.

But economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi explained that "the recent decision of the Council of Ministers and the Central Bank is a political decision rather than an economic decision, as economically the decision to change the exchange rate is often in the interest of combating inflation, but It is one of the most difficult and complex measures, and its negative repercussions are expensive, and it is not recommended to take it until after meeting difficult economic conditions to achieve it.

Al-Marsoumi adds, “Changing the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, by a large difference from the previous exchange rate, will lead to serious repercussions on the Iraqi economy, as it will significantly raise the deficit within the budget, and this coincides with a gradual decline in oil prices, as in 2022 Iraq’s monthly oil revenues were It amounts to 10 billion dollars, while during the current year it amounted to 7 billion dollars per month, and therefore it is hoped that the revenues of Iraq for this year will decrease by 30 billion dollars.

While the economist Qusai Safwan believes, during an interview with “the same newspaper,” that “there is a demand for the dollar in the parallel market, by irregular traders and companies, that do not adhere to the standards of the Central Bank and the US Treasury, but at the same time will allow exchange rates Low prices for giant companies competing strongly in the Iraqi market, and this will force irregular companies to raise their prices, according to the high parallel market exchange rate.

And the economist, Salam Sumaisem, stated that “the exchange rate is not a government decision, but rather a product of economic policies and reform measures that cause an “adjustment” of the exchange rate.

She added, "This reduction will lead to some people getting a dollar (at a reduced price), and selling it at a higher price to people, indicating that "the difference between the two prices will be high, which leads to new inflation that hits the economy."

The decision to reduce the exchange rate of the dinar comes after the Turkish city of Istanbul witnessed, last Friday, the conclusion of the meetings of the Central Bank of Iraq with the US Treasury, and according to a statement by the Central Bank, the US The Department confirmed its support for achieving economic stability in Iraq by the Treasury, and expressed its readiness for the flexibility necessary to achieve common goals, in addition to a phone call held between Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani and US President Joe Biden, by the White House. , which included discussing the economic agenda of the Prime Minister and his plans to ensure that the Iraqi economy is met. to the needs of Iraqis, and the willingness of the United States to fully support his policy.
