Iraq is moving towards going into a market economy...it's quite obvious...Tensions are the trade lines between Egypt and Jordan because of the Red Sea. There's been some chaos going on with different factions disrupting trade...Iraq's Development Road Project Article quote: "Iraq supports an alternative to the international transport lines that deliver good from the East to the West." Everything's coinciding at this time with the major international transport companies coming into play...
There's evidence the project to delete the zeros off the exchange rate is underway or is still on the table. It exists and that's because of who said it. We know Al-Alaq has said it and it's been referenced to one of his financial advisors...Saleh.
What I like about the Iraqi dinar...is there's progress and there's been progress... The bottom line is ever since Al-Sudani has taken the helm...things have progressed immensely.

An Economic Expert Expects The Dollar To Rise Before Ramadan, 12 FEB
An Economic Expert Expects The Dollar To Rise Before Ramadan
Time: 02/12/2024 16:33:00 Read: 1,118 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic expert, Ali Karim Idhib, expected today, Monday, that the dollar will rise before the holy month of Ramadan.
Idhib said {to Al-Furat News} that: “Despite the government measures and the Central Bank of Iraq to support the national currency, the reality is still different, as the exchange rates in the parallel market amount to 153 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, while the official exchange rate is 132 thousand dinars.” ".
He added, "Which means there is a price difference of more than 20 thousand dinars. The reason for this lies in the limited supply of the US dollar and the difficulty of obtaining it by individuals or small merchants. This is what Baghdad seeks in a step to prevent smuggling and money laundering."
Idhib pointed out, "This step, despite its effectiveness, is somewhat harmful and has caused, as I said, a major shortage in the supply of the dollar, and the demand for it is increasing, especially with the demand of citizens during this period that is witnessing the disruption of official working hours and the departure of many Iraqis to travel to regions inside and outside Iraq."
He added, "In addition to the increase in purchasing power for shopping, as we are approaching the month of Ramadan, the market depends by up to 90 percent on imported dollars."
Idhib called for "implementing the policies adopted by the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, while liberalizing the factors for obtaining the dollar smoothly and according to certain ceilings for all citizens."
Selling prices in exchange shops in local markets in Baghdad today, Monday, reached 153,250 dinars, while purchasing prices reached 152,250 dinars. LINK

Al-Sheikhli said {to Al-Furat News} that: “The window for selling the currency is about to end during the year 2024, and cash sales are now few in relation to remittances, and there are more than 200 million dollars transferred for the purposes of importing goods from abroad according to the method of documentary credits, and this process excludes many problems.”
He added, "The Central Bank of Iraq decided to end the currency window process and adopt correspondent banks as an alternative. There will be a new mechanism to provide currency for transfers without returning to the currency window or the electronic platform."
Al-Sheikhly believes, “This mechanism will save a lot of effort and external relations. Therefore, the Central Bank will devote itself to the role of supervision and auditing and not enhancing the balances. It will also absolve itself of responsibility for the import process according to its law.”
He added, "There will be more than one external correspondent bank in different currencies according to the trade imported from the source. This will eliminate the problems, the most prominent of which is the process of leakage of funds from the Central Bank and banks to prohibited parties." LINK

...You don't need to go to a Redemption Center...I bank out of Wells Fargo. I went in there, talked to my manager. He said this if the exchange rate is very large and you end up making a lot of profit off it, 'All you got to do is call, let me know when you come in or just walk in, wave to me so I see you and tell me that you're coming to exchange your currency. We will go ahead and run it through the machine to make sure it's not counterfeit...once we say it's all good we deposit it directly into your account.' ...They don't ask for a receipt. They don't ask where you got it from. They don't ask you about any of that...
I've been following the Vietnam dong closely. With all these corruption cases going on, we're talking about several politicians being sent to jail or going to court. With them cleaning up so much of their corruption I've really been paying attention to the markets and seeing if there's any news coming out about a possible change in exchange rate. I'm not saying it's going to happen but if these are the same people that's holding it down...hopefully they'll allow the exchange rate to increase...It's looking pretty good over there in Vietnam.

Experts: The Dollar Crisis Will Only Be Solved Through The Private Banking Sector And Moving The Wheel Of Industry, 12 FEB
Experts: The Dollar Crisis Will Only Be Solved Through The Private Banking Sector And Moving The Wheel Of Industry
Economy | 02/11/2024 Mawazine News – Baghdad Economic affairs specialists have identified a number of factors that would control the exchange rate of the parallel dollar, stressing that granting the private industrial sector financial and administrative facilities could lead to moving the wheel of production and reducing imports that are financed with the parallel dollar from the black market, stressing The importance of doubling loans that would establish a production base capable of meeting the local market’s requirements for goods and materials.
Economic calls have increased remarkably, demanding that loans and credit facilities granted by banks to the private sector be directed towards activating and increasing production processes, indicating that these facilities exceeded 50 trillion dinars last year 2023, but they did not contribute to increasing gross domestic product rates, stressing at the time He stressed the importance of building more bridges of trust between investors, businessmen and companies with government and private banks with the aim of facilitating the granting of loans directed towards increasing local production.
The specialists' calls come at a time when the government has intensified its efforts to eliminate the rise in exchange rates in the parallel market, which has greatly affected the movement of buying and selling goods and materials in the local markets.
Following a package of decisions that contributed to closing the gap that occurred earlier between the official and the parallel dollar, A government source revealed earlier that electronic cards were issued to small merchants with a ceiling of $100,000 per month.
The new government step was met with economic welcome, which emphasized the importance of this measure in eliminating the significant rise in parallel exchange rates and reducing the jumps in the green currency, in addition to its importance in covering the prices of imported goods at the official dollar rate, thus achieving great stability in the local markets.
Economist Manaf Al-Sayegh believes that “a large part of the solution lies in establishing a large production base capable of meeting the requirements of local markets and blocking the path to import operations that require huge sums of money from the dollar,” pointing out the necessity of “developing a strategic plan that begins in the form of stages that include the advancement “The high quality of the industrial and agricultural sectors, which constitute the backbone of the national economy.”
Al-Sayegh also urged “the importance of the strategy including real steps to reform the banking and financial system in the country, and adapting it in a way that can be parallel to what developed countries have achieved in banking transactions, as well as moving towards reforms related to the trade balance, which can stimulate the movement of local production and exports.” National economy, thus significantly reducing the demand for the parallel dollar, pointing out that creating a balance between exports and imports is an important step to revitalize the national economy and enable it to achieve growth in all its sectors, thus diversifying sources and significantly reducing dependence on the oil sector.
In turn, the economic expert, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, explained that the decline of the dollar index against the Iraqi dinar is on its way to decline, pointing to the seriousness of the monetary authority in diversifying currency reserves, as well as expanding the circle of payments from other currencies, not to mention simplifying and concise access to the electronic platform. .
Al-Marsoumi stressed "the importance of resolving problems related to trade with neighboring countries, by finding other ways to trade with those countries in order to find a close price between the official and the parallel dollar."
The Governor of the Central Bank had confirmed that “the indicator of the success of any country’s monetary policy is controlling the general level of prices and reducing inflation,” explaining that “inflation has now decreased significantly compared to the beginning of 2023, which indicates that foreign trade is covered by the price.” And that foreign financing operations are taking place smoothly, and all importers and traders can obtain the dollar at the official rate and control it.”
Al-Alaq pointed out that “the Central Bank’s adherence to the rules and principles of external transfer in accordance with the conditions and requirements it set and its insistence on implementing them has prompted many hesitant merchants to enter the platform for selling foreign currency, especially since its use is easy and safe and it provides them with the dollar at the official rate.”
Al-Alaq pointed out that “the Central Bank confirms the possibility of meeting all requests for the dollar, whether personal, commercial, or any kind, as long as they are valid and legitimate.”

Here's what I can tell you. When the dinar changes everybody will know. Everybody in the whole world, everybody knows about. It will be all over the news. When Iraq will be sovereign again, when somebody declare the end of war and everything, that's what's going to happen...
A lot of people's comparing Iraq with Kuwait. Kuwait is only 4,400,000 people...they have 104 billion barrels of oil. Iraq has 140 billion barrels oil and this is only with the 4 or 5 manufacturers. The other ones are not working yet. Iraq from here to 2025 will almost 300 billion barrel of oil...
Algeria is big and has a lot of assets but they have a lot less than Iraq and their dinar is stronger than Iraqi dinars. If you look a the Tunisian dinars, Tunisia has nothing...and their dinars are 3 to 1 - Three dinars to $1. My point is these people has nothing. They're coming out a revolution. They is a mess. It's completely a mess. They lost a lot. The private sector is a mess and its [their dinar] is still strong. Iraq, this rate is still a punishment rate...They have to revalue. If they revalue they're going to revalue 1 to 1.
We coming out from war. We coming out from the worst thing in our life. We just start to walk...We just start to grow...It almost collapsed but didn't collapse. It maintained itself and maintained himself stable...The only thing that destabilize the economy of Iraq is the war...Iraq is a very strong country...In a couple years Iraq is going to be one of the stronger countries in the world...Iraq is very strong.
Iraq survived the worst thing in their life. We survived 3 or 4 wars in the last 50 years. We survived it and each time we came back and we came back strong. This time we're going to come back very strong...Iraq economy never collapse by himself. Iraq economy always stable unless somebody else disable it for them. Iraq's economy is one of the best economy in the world and it's going to come back to the best economy in the world. The negative things about Iraq will never revalue, it's a scam, that's all bullshit. Iraq's going to come back one day and it's coming to come back soon.
