"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 23 MARCH

 Community Comment:  "If the current rate is 1320 to 1 and you remove the three zeros wouldn't the new rate be $1.32 to 1?

Frank26:   No...Stop putting a decimal in the 1320...You must understand this relationship as 132 dinars equals $1.00 which is a rate of $0.76.  If you have 1 million dinar 760 American dollars.  If you have 1 million dinar and they take it to 1 to 1 you have $1 million.
 Question "Are the Saddam dinars worthless?" Yeah, they're worthless because they're no longer recognized by anybody.

 1310, 1460, 1182...they didn't go international with that...Why would you today at 1310?  It doesn't make any sense...They had oil at $3.22 to 1 [Back in Saddam's day]...If you reinstate with oil at...$80 to $85 a barrel today ($35 to $40 a barrel back then) and they increased their production since then.  Even on that one thing, lopping their currency is ludicrous.  It makes no sense to anyone that does basic math.

 Deleting the zeros from the notes, how are you going to do that?  You're going to re-denominate the currency ...The way to re-denominate is to add value.  If you don't add any value, re-
denomination means those that hold currency don't gain anything.   I don't think the United States Treasury...Great Britain...Canada...Australia...Coalition forces ...South Koreans came into Iraq to get completely 100% hosed with anything like that...The Project to Delete The Zeros is from the exchange rate.  Then, once you delete the zeros from the exchange rate you have a 1 to 1 situation - Not value wise but it's $1 to 1 dinar.  Then apply a real effective exchange rate.

  I believe, God willing, everything is coming to a culmination, to an apex.  That's why so many things, electronic payment system, WTO, Chase [bank] talking...All of these things are for a very good reason and that is we are all going to be exchanging soon.

 There is NO LOP happening and the 1.32 Dinar to $1 USD is in country as the FOREX numbers will be far more attractive.

"THE OLD IQD NOTES VS THE NEW IQD NOTES" BY FNU LNU, 19 MARCH

  Fnu Lnu  

 On the issue of Old Notes (circulated) versus New Notes (uncirculated) I can tell you this. The "Oil for Dinar" program is very real and those are called Private Placements. They require ONLY uncirculated notes to participate. 

Otherwise, if you aren't in such a Private Placement exchange then it doesn't matter at all. Also, new uncirculated notes of certain serial numbers are going to be used as Bonds. The new Dinar have all the info needed to be used as bonds and it was planned this way before the new notes were printed . They will be used on the unregulated trading platforms in Shanghai as part of certain trading packages.

There is no such thing.  A) The rule of One Price and B) There is no back side or private side to FOREX...With that being said: There are platforms in Shanghai and Singapore that are totally unregulated. 

It is the wild west of commodity trading and they create investment packages where they bundle up packages containing many different speculative investments into a bundle and trade those.  But that isn't happening now either though it was a thing with the IQD several years ago but not now..

Adviser to the Prime Minister: The decline of the dollar is an indicator of the strength of the dinar and a tangible success of the economic policy, 22 march

Tishwash:  Adviser to the Prime Minister: The decline of the dollar is an indicator of the strength of the dinar and a tangible success of the economic policy

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed the strength of the dinar against the dinar after a relative decline in the exchange rate.

Saleh told {Al-Furat News} agency, “We indicate the strength of the Iraqi dinar, expressed in the decline in the parallel market rates of exchange in favor of the official exchange rate, a tangible success in the cohesion of the country’s economic policy in its three aspects: monetary, financial, and commercial, in providing a coherent climate of stability in the general level of prices.” And containing seasonal price fluctuations for high-demand items, specifically providing basic food commodities that have low price elasticities of demand because they are necessary commodities associated with consumption and daily living.”

He noted "the importance and speed of customs procedures, which were represented by (reducing customs tariffs and diversifying imports without quantitative limits for necessary goods) as part of the performance of the financial policy in supporting price stability and ensuring the supply of food and essential goods and production supplies at the official exchange rate and in accordance with the requirements of the national economy."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee had expected the dollar price to continue to decline as the results of the measures taken by the Central Bank of Iraq to limit the rise in the foreign currency began to appear.

The dollar exchange rate a few days ago was about 1,500 or 1,490 thousand dinars to the dollar.    link

The Ministry of Oil announces the adoption of electronic payment in cash allowance for super and improved gasoline, 22 MARCH

The Ministry of Oil announces the adoption of electronic payment in cash allowance for super and improved gasoline

Shafaq News / The Ministry of Oil – Oil Distributions Distribution Company announced, Thursday, the direct supply of vehicles with “super, improved” fuel in accordance with electronic payment cards POS in all governorates, as of tomorrow, Friday, March 22, 2024.

This was announced by the Director General of the Oil Products Distribution Company, Hussein Taleb, and said in a statement today, that the process of supplying vehicles with gasoline with two types (enhanced and super) in Baghdad and all governorates will be by electronic payment, indicating that this application will include in the next stages all oil products.

The Iraqi government seeks to activate the electronic payment service, adopt modern automation systems and end cash dealing.

Accordingly, the Oil Products Distribution Company, affiliated to the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, has set the end of March a deadline for cash handling at government and private fuel filling stations.

On (last January 7, the Prime Minister, Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani, directed to spare citizens additional financial burdens as a result of commissions, during a meeting dedicated to following up the financial and economic transformation to electronic payment, points of sale and financial trading with electronic cards (POS).

According to a statement issued by his media office, the Sudanese confirmed that the goal is to facilitate dealing and facilitate payment in all fields, while ensuring the highest levels of security.

Most markets and filling stations lack POS devices despite the directions of the Council of Ministers to implement the electronic payment system in state institutions, the private sector, commercial centers, shops, markets and other entertainment facilities.

Citizens still lack the provision of POS machines and claims from the central bank, banks and electronic payment companies to supply the POS and make them accessible to the citizen to use with electronic cards for shopping and payment instead of cash.

The Central Bank of Iraq announced at the beginning of last June the entry into force of the Council of Ministers Resolution No. (23044) for the year 2023, which is to increase the number of electronic payment devices (POS) in government institutions and the private sector to promote the culture of payment and electronic collection, and to reduce the use of paper money in collection and commercial transactions.

It is noteworthy that the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq decided on December 13 to establish the “National Company for Electronic Payment Systems” throughout the country, indicating that the company represents a qualitative development in the structure of the country’s financial infrastructure.

According to the statement of the Central Bank of Iraq, this step coincides with the rapid growth in electronic financial services and products and the high number of users in line with the framework of the government program to support and adopt advanced electronic payment systems.
