 What is the story of the disappearance of 35 trillion dinars? The Finance Committee requests an investigation into Representative Nouri

“We carefully monitor currency printing.”

 On Saturday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee issued an angry statement criticizing the statements of one of its members about the disappearance of an amount of 35 trillion printed Iraqi dinars that do not exist inside Iraq, calling on the Presidency of Parliament to open an investigation and calling on the representative to prove his claim.

A statement by the Parliamentary Finance Committee:

We followed with great astonishment and disapproval the irresponsible statements made by Representative Muhammad Nouri during his hosting on a satellite channel to talk about monetary policy in the country and the procedures of the Central Bank of Iraq.

While we categorically deny the allegations made by Mr. Representative, as they lack credibility, accuracy, and objectivity, and indicate his lack of familiarity with the procedures and duties of the committee, we express our strong rejection of these allegations because they constitute a great abuse of the tasks and duties of the Parliamentary Finance Committee in particular and the legislative authority in general.

We also call on the Presidency of the House of Representatives to form an investigative committee to determine the validity and source of these dangerous statements, and to take deterrent legal measures against anyone who intentionally harms the reputation of the Iraqi state and its constitutional institutions.

We emphasize once again that everything that the Representative spoke about is untrue. Rather, he had to verify the information by communicating with his fellow Representatives who regularly attend meetings, before talking about sensitive files, despite the fact that he did not have any information about them due to his constant absence from committee meetings.

We reiterate that the monetary policy of the Central Bank, especially with regard to printing currency, is subject to monetary standards and foundations, and in line with the stability of the economic situation and the level of inflation, and that our Finance Committee has a clear work program for oversight of the executive authority, which will be completed at the beginning of the new legislative term, we hope. Representative Al-Nouri’s commitment to performing his legislative and oversight duties and tasks.

The aforementioned representative said in a televised interview:

More than 35 trillion printed Iraqi dinars do not exist inside Iraq, noting that there are only two neighboring countries that deal with Iraq in dinars, and more than 3 months ago, 4 trillion Iraqi dinars were entered from the (50) category,” pointing out that “Finance and Banking The Central Bank raised the issue of bonds to control the issue of the Iraqi dinar, but they only raised one trillion.”

He added, “The control of the parties and the existing quotas within the financial system is what established the failure of the Iraqi economy, and there is no country so far that relies on paper accounts and has no final accounts in banks, no electronic automation, and more than 73 private banks except Iraq,” noting that “the system The financial system must be independent in order to achieve economic balance within the country.”

He also added that “government banks are shackled by the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister,” indicating that “the Central Bank is a failure and does not aim for real management, and the control of some parties over its decisions affected the price of the dollar, and its biggest mistake was pricing the dollar in the budget at 132 thousand compared to 100 dollars because Iraq lost more than 9 trillion, and the difference between it and the market became high.”

While he pointed out that the one responsible for monetary policy in Iraq is “the American Federal Reserve, and it does not give money except with American approval, and whoever imagines that Iraq is in economic control is dreaming.”

He pointed out that “the loss of the Iraqi dinar caused a lot of damage and as a result many small projects and construction advances stopped,” stressing that “the Iraqi economy is completely linked to the United States and we were receiving 3 payments of the dollar now only one, and the US Federal Reserve’s sanctions caused an explosion in the exchange rate.” He deals with us according to the missiles that fall on the Ain al-Assad base and the embassy.” link
