AMERICA STOPS THE DOLLAR CASH TO IRAQ: WILL THE DOLLAR RISE AGAINST THE DINAR?
In a surprising move, reports indicate that the United States has decided to stop sending cash dollars to Iraq, a decision that could have profound effects on the Iraqi economy and its financial market. This shift raises many questions about its impact on the value of the Iraqi dinar, currency markets, and the local banking sector.
(All I can say is its about time! But this is a major change and there will be adjustments that will have to be made.)
What is a cash dollar?
Cash dollars refer to money that is physically sent to Iraq by the United States, usually through banks or other economic mechanisms. This cash flow has played an important role in supporting the Iraqi economy, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the country.
The reason behind the American decision
Sources indicate that the US decision comes in the context of economic and diplomatic pressures on Iraq, which include issues related to the national economy and monetary policies. Some reports also indicate that the United States may seek to limit the use of the dollar in Iraqi financial transactions, in an attempt to enhance the stability of the local currency and reduce dependence on foreign currencies.
Impact of the decision on the Iraqi dinar
The decision is expected to cause significant volatility in the local currency market. The US dollar is one of the main currencies traded in Iraq, and stopping its cash flow could lead to a shortage in supply, which could (initially) push the dollar higher against the dinar.
The impact of the rise on the Iraqi market
The increase in the value of the dollar may lead to higher prices in the Iraqi market, which will exacerbate the burden of inflation and affect the ability of citizens to purchase basic commodities. This may also indirectly affect economic activity, especially in sectors that rely heavily on imports.
(So how can the CBI get the dinar to be worth more than the dollar? Is it time to conduct the in-country RV to just over a dollar? Just asking…)
Are there any solutions?
The Iraqi government will face a major challenge in dealing with these developments. The next phase may require developing new economic and financial strategies to mitigate the impact of sudden changes in currency rates. It is necessary to have a move towards strengthening the Iraqi dinar and diversifying the sources of the national economy away from heavy reliance on the dollar.
Conclusion
In light of these developments, it will be important to monitor the short- and long-term effects of this decision. Iraq needs decisive steps to secure the stability of its national currency and protect its economy from the repercussions of the decision to stop the use of the CASH dollar.
(Remember this is the use of CASH dollar. They will still have electronic transfer from the Feds of dollars to Iraq. But this is a move that I believe is in agreement with the CBI to finally shut down the parallel market for good. This comes on the heals of the issue with Rafidian bank’s continue smuggling of the cash dollars to Iran. This is an amazing article. A “WOW!” article. I still am having a hard time believing it when I read it. The US is finally doing it. They should have cut off the dollars off years ago. We would be much farther ahead now in the RV process. But now it is being done. A good sign for us investors. How will this impact the Iraqi economy? Seems to me the US wants the dinar to rise in value and this may be leading us to something VERY IMPORTANT.)
