This statement alone says RV. Well the US isn't devaluing our dollar via an RV so in order for the exchange rate of the dinar to close the gap they have to increase its value big time. And it sounds like by all accounts, the time is right 👍 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all they have been talking about lately and the reason why the dropped to 1310 to begin with.

6ly410 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The recent revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is aimed at ensuring that inflation does not impact the ability of citizens to purchase goods, the head of the Iraqi Central Bank told Rudaw on Tuesday. Iraq earlier in February restored the exchange rate of the IQD-USD to 1,300 per dollar, the highest value of the dinar since 2020, amid a depreciation of the dinar leading to a surge in prices of basic goods and protests by Iraqi citizens. “The main reason is the rise of inflation, and we don’t want to prevent the citizen [from purchasing goods] especially as the average prices rise,” Ali Mohsen al-Alaq, governor of the Iraqi Central Bank, told Rudaw’s Diyar Kurda during an Iraqi delegation visit to Washington. However, despite the official rate of the IQD gaining value, the currency markets still sell the dinar at around 1,550 to $1, a stark difference from the official rate of 1,300 set by the Central Bank. “The official rate should not exceed 1,300 IQD in the markets. We do not see any reason or notion to sell the dollar higher than this price, as long as the Central Bank is committed and dedicated to providing the dollar at the official price,” Alaq said, calling on exchange markets to avoid illegitimate operations and to sell the dollar at the official price. Alaq defended the recent revaluation by assuring that the dinar enjoys a strong number of backup options and added that the value set by the Central Bank is a “realistic value and not made-up.” “The main goal is to stabilize the prices.” In January, the value of a dollar was placed at 1,750 IQD in the currency markets of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region - the highest exchange rate during the depreciation. The drop of the Iraqi dinar value was attributed to corruption, smuggling dollars out of Iraq, and pressure from the United States. According to Alaq, the changes that emerged from their meetings with US officials will ensure that a more careful auditing process is executed for Iraq transactions and that the platform for transferring funds internationally will stabilize. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani - who has vowed to control the unstable exchange rate - sacked the governor of the country’s Central Bank in late January, replacing Mustafa Ghalib Makhif with Alaq as protests in Baghdad ensued after prices of goods surged. Iraq’s public servants are particularly affected with the instability in the exchange rate, as they continue to suffer with a reduced salary from the drop in currency value. The Iraqi Central Bank in late 2020 devalued the dinar against the US dollar by 22 percent, dropping it from 1,182 IQD to 1,450 IQD and sparking public outrage. The devaluation came in an effort to combat a national liquidity crisis and bring in much-needed cash to the government’s coffers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ly410 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Source for Al-Furat News: The near expansion of dollar outlets and a new package for the Central Bank Time : 2023/02/16 10:53:32 Source for Al-Furat News: The near expansion of dollar outlets and a new package for the Central Bank - Al-Furat News (alforatnews.iq) {Economic: Al-Furat News} An informed source revealed the imminent expansion of dollar outlets at the official price of 1320 dinars. The source told Al-Furat News: "Soon the outlets for selling dollars to citizens to government banks and other parties will be expanded to include commercial centers, malls and others." He pointed to "the imminent issuance of a new package of measures by the Central Bank of Iraq to control the exchange rate, including the movement of transactions in dinars in all fields instead of the dollar with regard to buying and selling." The governor of the Iraqi Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, announced two days ago that the bank "will issue a number of instructions and directives to banks and other financial institutions in order to make things clear and easy, so that they can access the platform as soon as possible, the faster the speed is achieved in joining this platform, the more there is a balance between supply and demand." He pointed out that "the official price should not exceed 1320 dinars against the dollar in the market, we believe that there is no reason or justification to sell the dollar for more than this price." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
