Report: US control of transfers raises Iraq's reserves and plunges the Iranian currency

2023.02.21 - 11:10

 

Baghdad - Nas  

The London-based Al-Arab newspaper reported that the increase in Iraqi dollar reserves coincided with the collapse of the Iranian riyal due to the effectiveness of tight US control over the movement of the dollar in Iraq, which prevented the flow of more hard currency towards Iran and led to the collapse of its currency.  

  

  

  

Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein revealed on Monday that the Iraqi Central Bank's dollar reserves exceeded $100 billion. This statement comes after Hussein's return from the United States at the head of a financial and economic delegation, in which the issue of currency was one of its main elements, as Washington has implemented, since last November, strict control over financial transfers.  

  

Hussein said in Baghdad that "the recent negotiations of the Iraqi delegation in Washington regarding the movement of the dollar were successful, and took place in accordance with mutual understandings without preconditions, and the movement of the dollar and the final beneficiary were determined according to an electronic platform system placed in many banks and border crossings to control the dollar and manage it properly in Iraq".  

  

He added, "The negotiations were successful, good, and advanced in order to protect the joints of Iraq's economy and fight smuggling."  

  

And he stressed that "there will be stability in the exchange rate of the dollar in the Iraqi market, and what is happening now in terms of rise and fall is a matter of time."  

  

Observers of the London newspaper believe that the optimistic tone of the Iraqi foreign minister regarding the exchange situation shows that he received a positive assessment during his visit to Washington regarding the success of the American plan to track the movement of remittances and prevent the manipulation that was taking place between parties inside Iraq in order to secure the smuggling of currency to Iran, which suffers from sanctions. strict American.  

  

Last November, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began imposing stricter restrictions on international dollar transfers to Iraqi commercial banks, in a move that US and Iraqi officials said was "aimed at curbing money laundering and the illegal transfer of dollars to Iran and other heavily sanctioned countries."  

  

Iraqi banks must now record their "transfers (in dollars) on an electronic platform, which checks the requests. The Federal Reserve examines them, and if it has doubts, it stops the transfer," said Mazhar Saleh, the Iraqi prime minister's advisor for financial affairs.  

  

And Iraq has begun to comply with the standards of the international transfer system (Swift), which Iraqi banks must apply since mid-November to access Iraq's dollar reserves in the United States.  

  

Since the implementation of the restrictions, the Federal Reserve has rejected “80 percent of requests” for financial transfers to Iraqi banks, according to Salih, due to doubts about the final destination of those amounts being transferred.  

  

The strict control of transfers and the blocking of money smuggling by bypass routes put Iran in a complicated situation, and they stressed that the Iraqi financial crisis is due in large part to the Iranian role, which was carried out through local political agents, militias, and merchants.  

  

The newspaper added that the results of US supervision appeared quickly, as the local currency in Iran fell below a basic moral level, retreating from 500 thousand riyals against the dollar on Monday, as market dealers do not see an end to the sanctions.  

  

Data published by the Bonbast website on the Internet, which collects up-to-date data from Iranian exchange centers, showed that the local currency fell to a new record level against the dollar, amounting to 501,300 riyals.  

  

Because of an inflation rate of about 50 percent, Iranians seek safe havens in order to preserve their savings by buying dollars and other hard currencies or buying gold, indicating more headwinds that will face the Iranian riyal.  

  

Over the past six months, the Iranian currency has lost about 60 percent of its value, according to the website.  

  

The newspaper pointed out that the annoyance of Iran's allies with the US control over the movement of money in Iraq is quite remarkable, which was reflected in the statements of more than one figure affiliated with Tehran, including deputies within the coordination framework, where the representative of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Aqil Al-Fatlawi, said, "The World Bank and the US administration use the SWIFT platform." to impose their will and blackmail Iraq,” adding that the United States has passed the stage of military domination and moved towards economic domination through those institutions under the international cover.  

  

And he considered that "those institutions are a bad example of domination and starvation of peoples," and continued that "the United States at the present time is still the restrictive and pressing element on the Iraqi economy, especially after Iraq's exit from the seventh and sixth items."

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mohammed al-Halbousi and US Ambassador to Baghdad Alina Romanowski discussed the results of the Iraqi delegation's visit to Washington.  

  

  

According to a statement by Al-Halbousi's office, a copy of which was received by NAS (February 22, 2023), "The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohammed Al-Halbousi, received today, Wednesday, the Ambassador of the United States of America to Iraq, Ms. Alina Romanowski, and discussed the results of the recent visit of the official Iraqi delegation to Washington, and the next steps to strengthen the existing partnership between the two countries in various fields, including economic and security."

Sources: The chances of Al-Sudani's visit to Washington are renewed, and US sanctions will affect the factions

2023.02.22 - 13:55

 

Baghdad - Nas  

Washington is re-evaluating the situation of the Iraqi government after the recent pledges it made to the United States, especially in the issue of stopping the smuggling of the dollar, and in light of this, the opportunity for Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani's visit to America has returned, but it may be preceded by new sanctions against some factions, according to Shiite sources who spoke to Al-Mada. .  

  

 

  

The newspaper's report, which Nass followed (February 22, 2023), stated that the coordination framework that leads the government is trying to prevent any escalation against Washington, even describing it recently in a joint statement with the political forces as "friendly countries."  

  

And only 4 months ago from now, the leaders of the "framework" were talking about a "violation of sovereignty" by the American forces in Iraq.  

  

And about the secret of this coup, a Shiite official close to the coordination framework says: “The dollar crisis may be one of the most prominent factors that called for de-escalation with Washington.”  

  

In the past three months, Washington imposed restrictions on the movement of the dollar, which threatened the continuation of the government and the street coup against it.  

  

"The coordination framework agreed to establish balanced relations with all countries, including the United States," said the official in one of the Shiite parties, in an interview with the Iraqi newspaper.  

  

"The recent changes have brought back the opportunity for the prime minister to go to Washington," said the official, who asked not to be named.  

  

Finance Minister Fouad Hussein, who recently returned from an important round of negotiations in Washington, went instead of Al-Sudani, whose visit to the United States was expected to be high last month.  

  

According to what is being circulated in political circles, "the chances of Al-Sudani's visit to Washington may be linked to the imposition of new sanctions on factions linked to Iran, and that the United States is re-evaluating the government's pledges to control armed groups and smuggle dollars."  

  

In the past three years, Washington has previously imposed sanctions on leaders in the coordination framework, such as Faleh al-Fayyad, head of the Mobilization Forces, and Qais al-Khazali, leader of the League and his brother.  

  

These sanctions were considered one of the reasons that hindered the easing of US restrictions on the movement of the dollar, with the failure of the Prime Minister's visit to the United States.  

  

Earlier, Ali Jabbar, a leader in the Sudanese party, the Euphrates Movement, said: "There is no Shiite party that supports the boycott with the United States."  

  

In the last 6 months, which coincided with the retirement of Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the political movement, and the control of the coordination framework over parliament and then the formation of the government, the repeated attacks on the US embassy, airports and camps stopped.  

  

In the past three years, factions, some of which are expected to be linked to the coordination framework, have carried out about 120 attacks with 300 missiles.  

  

Since the formation of the government last October, the fiery statements of Shiite leaders known for their criticism of the United States have also receded.  

  

Even the account of Abu Ali Al-Askari on Twitter, which presents itself as the spokesperson for Kata'ib Hezbollah, has recently become preoccupied with public issues and domestic politics.  

  

Al-Askari no longer threatens the "dementia Biden" of the American president - as he used to describe him - or the "traitor" of the Iraqi prime minister who deals with Washington, which is the adjective that Al-Askari used to refer to Mustafa Al-Kazemi, the former prime minister.  

  

Even Qais al-Khazali, the leader of the League, who was defending the legitimacy of what he describes as the "resistance," stopped this speech.  

  

Khazali's last attack against the United States was last September, a month before al-Sudani assumed power, against the backdrop of accusations against Washington of killing a child in a shooting accident in the Abu Ghraib area, west of Baghdad.  

  

At the time, the leader of Al-Asa'ib accused the United States of having a "military base" in Baghdad, describing it as a "violation of sovereignty."  

  

Mithal Al-Alusi, leader of the Umma Party, considered that avoiding escalation with Washington was due to "the implementation of an Iranian agenda, for fear of exposing it to greater sanctions."  

  

The restrictions on the circulation of the dollar in Iraq caused a crisis in Tehran, where the price of the Toman rose to record levels.  

  

Friendly America!  

  

The day before yesterday, a meeting of the State Administration Coalition, in which the coordination framework constitutes the cornerstone, described the United States as a "friendly country" during discussions on the results of the recent negotiations in Washington.  

  

After the meeting, which took place at the home of the leader of the Wisdom Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, a statement said, "The coalition listened to the report of the government delegation that visited Washington."  

  

The statement added, "The State Administration Coalition discussed the mechanisms of activating the strategic framework agreement between Iraq and Washington in a way that achieves the interests of the two friendly countries and peoples."
