Why?
Because I think the 2024 budget has something that we're waiting for.
They're achieving bonds. They're soaking up money off the street...
Here's another sign of the country that is setting the stage for internationalism...they got bonds to get the hoarded money into circulation...That's another very good telling sign that Iraq is just about ready to open her doors...

Strong national economy and sober banks, 7 NOV
Strong national economy and sober banks
In an important presentation before the Miri Conference on Economic, Financial and Banking Reform, the Governor of the Central Bank, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alak, explained the indicators of the recovery of our national economy and the major transformations in the structuring of government and private banks achieved in 2023 and 2024 and expected in 2025, which are standard indicators that are adopted in assessing the strength of the economy and the sobrity of the banking sector.
One of the most prominent of these indicators is the adequacy of foreign cash reserves, the exported domestic currency, the rate of inflation and external debt, while stressing that the monetary policy objectives of the Central Bank contained in its law are to achieve growth and economic stability and economic stability and that one of its main objectives is to achieve stability in the financial system and the monetary system, reduce inflation rates and stabilize the prices of goods and services in Extremely complex economic, security and political conditions that Iraq suffered from in 2023 and 2024, and the world is going through, especially the countries of the current geographical region, which affects our country negatively and positively.
These conditions have been suffering from our economy for decades, and the reason is the reason is the rent of the economy and the dependence of 95% of the general budget revenues on oil, which constitute approximately 60% of the gross domestic product. The government is making clear efforts to reinform the effective economic sectors, namely agriculture, industry, tourism, customs and tax services fees, and the rise in their share in the general budget revenues to 20%. The low contribution of these sectors to the GDP led to the absence of local production that covers the consumer need of citizens for food and other basic materials, so the dependence was almost total on imports for the commercial private sector and from different origins, and successive governments were unable to control internal trade and trade regulation. Weak control over illegal trade and informal border ports have led to the impact of the monetary and commercial market.
Therefore, this indicator was the most prominent challenges faced by monetary policy and directly affected the stability of the exchange rate, which led the Central Bank to take many measures in cooperation with the government in regulating foreign trade, controlling control over foreign transfers, regularity in the global financial and banking system, complying with international standards and digital transformation in the banking sector, and working to prepare and launch its new strategy for reform and banking classification in all its basic circles at the level of internal and external banking transactions, the most prominent of which is securing the US dollar for large and registered traders and each trader, regardless of his classification at the official price through the electronic platform exclusively.
This was achieved through the analysis of indicators of the annual inflation rate of 3.8% after it was 4.4% and compared to the annual inflation rates of regional and neighboring countries. Most of these countries have reached very high inflation rates, reaching 80.4% in Turkey, Sudan 117.4%, Iran 40.0%, in the Maghreb countries with relative economic stability in Tunisia 9.3%, Algeria 9.0% and Morocco 5.0%, Egypt reached 37.4% and ranged in the Gulf countries with stable economies and oil rich between 2.4%.4%. This confirms, and there is no doubt that the Central Bank’s strategy and procedures during the years 2023 and 2024 achieved one of the main monetary policy objectives, which is to reduce the inflation rate and maintain the general level of the prices of goods and services, and is currently working to achieve the other goals, which are stabilizing the exchange rate and maintaining a foreign reserve that covers the local currency. In trading and imports, which exceeded 100 billion dollars and enough 140% to cover the local currency in circulation.
So the economic results and outputs confirm that the policies and procedures carried out by the Central Bank in cooperation with the government have achieved an important objective of monetary policy, to achieve stability in the monetary system, which is an important step in achieving other objectives of monetary policy.
We must point out that one of the most prominent indicators of our economy’s strength and recovery is what the International Monetary Fund finally predicted that the expected economic growth rate in 2025 will be 5.3%, while it contracted by 2.2% in 2022. The expected rate is higher than the growth rates in Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Algeria, Jordan and Qatar. It is an indicator of the strength of our economy and is an inevitable result of the economic and financial reform programs applied by the government and the central bank since 2023.

Oil falls and the dollar rises after Trump’s election
Oil prices fell more than one percent on Wednesday, after Republican Donald Trump elected president of the United States, pushing the dollar up.
Brent crude futures fell $1.32 percent to $74.53 a barrel, while U.S. WTI fell 93 cents, or 1.29 percent, to $71.06 a barrel.
In addition to the impact of the appreciation of the dollar on commodity prices, Trump’s presidency could lead to policies that could increase pressure on the Chinese economy, weakening oil demand in the world’s largest crude oil importer, according to independent analyst Tina Teng.
The dollar is heading for its largest daily rise since March 2020 against its major counterparts with the launch of the so-called “Trump deals”.
The appreciation of the US dollar makes goods denominated in the US currency such as oil more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Iraqi Drilling: Drilling And Rehabilitating 15 Oil Wells In October To Boost Production, 6 NOV
Iraqi Drilling: Drilling And Rehabilitating 15 Oil Wells In October To Boost Production
Posted on 2024-11-06 by sotaliraq The Iraqi Drilling Company, affiliated with the Ministry of Oil, has achieved remarkable progress in its operational projects in the Iraqi oil fields, as it announced its success in drilling and reclaiming 15 oil wells during last October.
These achievements come as part of the Ministry’s strategy to enhance oil production and increase the capacity of Iraqi fields, which contributes to supporting the national economy and meeting the growing needs of the local and international market.
Economic expert, Mohammed Samir Al-Kubaisi, explained “the importance of this progress in drilling and reclaiming oil wells,” noting that “it reflects Iraq’s commitment to developing its oil infrastructure and increasing its production to enhance its financial returns.”
He stressed that "these steps support economic stability and contribute to reducing dependence on imports, which strengthens Iraq's position as a major source in the global energy market."
He added that “increasing production would improve public revenues, which could be directed to development projects that contribute to improving services and strengthening the local economy.”
The Deputy Director General of the Iraqi Drilling Company, Kazem Habash Khalif, said in a statement that “the technical and engineering staff in the company were able to drill 4 new oil wells and reclaim 11 other wells, distributed across several oil fields in the country.
He added, "These achievements come within the framework of the company's commitment to enhancing oil production and adhering to the specified timetables."
He stressed that "the company is continuing to implement its ambitious plans to enhance the oil sector in Iraq in cooperation with national and international oil companies."

Iraq's Share In The IMF, 6 NOV
Iraq's Share In The IMF
Economic 2024/11/06 When Iraq announced that it had paid off all its debts to the International Monetary Fund last May, Reuters quoted the Fund as saying that Iraq was facing internal imbalances exacerbated by the large financial expansion and the decline in oil prices, and that it needed to gradually correct the public finances to achieve debt stability in the medium term and rebuild reserves.
Mohammed Sharif Abu Maysam At the same time, despite the expansion in public finance management with the aim of achieving significant increases in growth rates, the Ministry of Planning announced a decline in inflation rates from 7.5 percent to 4 percent, which is a positive precedent that has never happened before and is credited to those in charge of monetary and financial policies. It was leaked from the Central Bank that the cash reserve exceeds 110 billion dollars and that the country’s gold reserves amounted to nearly 150 tons.
The full repayment of the country's debt to the International Monetary Fund, the decline in the inflation rate and the increase in the cash reserve rates were indicators of a major shift in economic policies, not because the amount of debt was large, exceeding about eight billion dollars, but because such debts are usually conditional in the context of the so-called economic reform program that aims to privatize state functions and link the country's fate to the policies of the creditor parties and those behind them.
It is known globally that governments that can get rid of the burden of debt to the Fund and the World Bank are the most successful in managing the affairs of their countries and implementing their programs related to supporting macroeconomic stability and implementing the necessary financial reforms.
Supporting the ration card program was not only a direct reason for reducing inflation rates, but other factors related to monetary and financial policies and limiting parallel markets, and the flow of foreign currency with supporting the local product contributed to achieving this.
Thus, increasing the percentage of the country's gold reserves contributed as a tool to cover the local currency and a safe means of hedging against economic fluctuations and security tensions witnessed by the world and the region.
Accordingly, those in charge of economic policy files prove their success, and it is our duty to point out that these successes, just as it was our duty to always point out the points of weakness and stumbling with the aim of monitoring and correcting, have proven the inaccuracy of the vision presented by the International Monetary Fund regarding the situation of public finances, debts, and rebuilding reserves.
Today, Iraq intends to increase its share in the International Monetary Fund by the equivalent of 1.45 trillion dinars, which will support its voting power within the Fund, contribute to attracting investments, create a promising business environment, and achieve real development, thus addressing the problem of inflation in the labor market and implementing the components of the government program. https://alsabaah.iq/105468-.html

2025 Strong National Economy And Sound Banks
Samir Al-Nusairi In an important presentation before the MERI Conference on Economic, Financial and Banking Reform, the Governor of the Central Bank, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, explained the indicators of the recovery of our national economy and the major transformations in the structure of government and private banks achieved in 2023 and 2024 and expected in 2025.
These are standard indicators that are relied upon to evaluate the strength of the economy and the soundness of the banking sector.
The most prominent of these indicators are the sufficiency of foreign cash reserves, the local currency issued, the inflation rate and the external debt, while emphasizing that the objectives of the monetary policy of the Central Bank stipulated in its applicable law are to achieve economic growth and stability,
and that one of its main objectives is to achieve stability in the financial and monetary system, reduce inflation rates and stabilize the prices of goods and services in extremely complex economic, security and political conditions that Iraq suffered from in 2023 and 2024 and that the world is currently going through, especially the countries of the geographical region, which our country is negatively and positively affected by.
These conditions have been suffered by our economy for decades, and the reason is the rentier economy and the dependence of 95% of the general budget revenues on oil, which constitutes approximately 60% of the gross domestic product.
The government is making clear efforts to revolutionize the active economic sectors, namely agriculture, industry, tourism, customs and tax services fees, and to increase their share in the general budget revenues to 20%.
The low contribution of these sectors to the gross domestic product has led to the absence of local production that covers the consumption needs of citizens for food and other basic materials.
Therefore, there was almost complete dependence on imports for the private commercial sector from different sources. Successive governments were unable to control internal trade and regulate foreign trade, and the weak control over illegal trade and unofficial border crossings, which led to the impact on the monetary and commercial market.
Therefore, this indicator was the most prominent challenge facing monetary policy and directly affected the stability of the exchange rate, which led the Central Bank to take many measures in cooperation with the government to regulate foreign trade, control foreign transfers, regularity in the global financial and banking system, compliance with international standards, digital transformation in the banking sector, and work on preparing and launching its new strategy for banking reform
and classification in all its basic links at the level of internal and external banking transactions, the most prominent of which is securing the US dollar for major and registered traders and for every trader, regardless of his classification, at the official price exclusively through the electronic platform.
This was achieved through analyzing the indicators of the annual inflation rate, which amounted to 3.8% after it was 4.4%, and by comparing it with the annual inflation rates of regional and neighboring countries. Inflation rates in most of these countries reached very high rates, reaching 80.2% in Turkey, 117.4% in Sudan, 40.0% in Iran, and in the Maghreb countries with relative economic stability in Tunisia 9.3%, Algeria 9.0%, Morocco 5.0%, and in Egypt 37.4%, and in the Gulf countries with stable and oil-rich economies, they ranged between 2.4% and 4.8%.
This confirms, without a doubt, that the strategy of the Central Bank and its procedures during the years 2023 and 2024 achieved one of the basic objectives of monetary policy, which is to reduce the inflation rate and maintain the general level of prices of goods and services.
It is currently working to achieve other objectives, which are the stability of the exchange rate and maintaining a foreign reserve that covers the local currency in circulation and imports, which exceeded $100 billion, with a sufficiency of 140%, which covers the local currency in circulation.
Therefore, the economic results and outputs confirm that the policies and procedures undertaken by the Central Bank in cooperation with the government have achieved an important objective of monetary policy, to achieve stability in the monetary system, which is an important step in achieving the other objectives of monetary policy.
It must be noted that one of the most prominent indicators of the strength and recovery of our economy is what the International Monetary Fund recently predicted, that the expected economic growth rate in 2025 will be 5.3%, while it contracted by 2.2% in 2022.
The expected rate is higher than the growth rates in Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Algeria, Jordan and Qatar. It is an indicator of the strength of our economy and is an inevitable result of the economic and financial reform programs implemented by the government and the Central Bank since 2023. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=49540
