WILL THE AGREEMENTS SIGNED WITH THE US TREASURY REFLECT POSITIVELY ON THE EXCHANGE RATES?
Today, Thursday, economic expert Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani stated the possibility of Iraqi getting a green light to contract with Iranian companies that are not sanctioned by the United States, while anticipating the impact of the Central Bank’s agreement with the US Treasury on exchange rates.
Al-Mashhadani said, in an interview with Al-Iqtisad News, “The visit of the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, to America is very positive, but so far the results of what was agreed upon in Washington have not appeared.”
He added: “It is hoped that the Central Bank of Iraq will announce the measures that were agreed upon in Washington, which could have a positive impact on the exchange rate,” pointing out that “the real problem of exchange rates has not yet been solved, which is dealing in trade with banned countries.”
The economic expert explained, “The economic aspect was the main focus of Sudanese’s visit to Washington, and it became clear through the meetings and discussions held by the Central Bank of Iraq, with the US Treasury regarding the sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks or even the issue of financial transfers to Iran, in addition to the required investments, which “It is possible to sign in the energy field.”
He stressed, “Iraq got the other light by contracting with unsanctioned Iranian companies, which allowed the Ministry of Electricity to sign a contract to recover Iranian gas for a period of five years, at a time when the government is heading to end this file after 3 years, according to what was announced.”
