 You kind of need the IMF article VIII compliance and that's what we're waiting for which is a real effective exchange rate.  I think these guys are about ready to expose that.  I think al-Sudani...Alaq from the Central Bank of Iraq all of them have this in their eyes to see this come to fruition and very quickly...

Anybody going with Sudani is going against the mafias and going against those that are going to have their dollar auctions dry up.  

They're going to have lots of different little things happen to them that are going to be painful.  Anybody that's holding the dollar when they change the exchange rate...those exchange companies, 197 banks that got tagged by the central bank...

they're going to have a painful experience because if you're not large on the dinar and you own dollars and Alaq drops the three zeros, those guys are going to have a painful situation... They've been warned.  They've been open about stopping the dollar auctions in Iraq for this year...

FINANCIAL INCLUSION IN IRAQ: A SUCCESS STORY THAT DEFIES THE ODDS, 11 JUNE

FINANCIAL INCLUSION IN IRAQ: A SUCCESS STORY THAT DEFIES THE ODDS

In the wake of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, the financial system collapsed and the phenomenon of hoarding money spread, as a result of the loss of confidence in the banking sector after the closure of most branches of foreign banks operating in Iraq, and the faltering of some local banks.

To address this crisis, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company began establishment procedures in 2008 with the aim of protecting depositors’ funds and enhancing their confidence in the banking system, which is vital for achieving sustainable economic development.

The company has achieved remarkable success in its mission, as it has witnessed a significant increase in the number of bank accounts and the size of deposits since its establishment. In 2009, total deposits in Iraqi banks amounted to $8.05 billion, and this number rose to $76.5 billion in 2021. This significant increase is largely due to the company’s efforts to enhance confidence in the banking system and encourage citizens to save.

This significant increase in deposits clearly reflects the effective role played by the company in stimulating the culture of savings and encouraging citizens to deposit their money in banks instead of keeping it at home. These numbers indicate that the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company is on the right track towards achieving its strategic goals, which are enhancing financial stability and reducing the phenomenon of hoarding, and thus contributing to advancing economic growth in Iraq.

 Iraq...when ready, they will drop the three zeros and give the citizens so many days to turn them in the old three zero notes for exchange of the new lower currency denominations. This exchange will most likely be electronic. It will be a 1:1 exchange but not like many think...

I DO NOT mean one dollar for one dinar. I mean, for instance, a 25k note for a new 25 note. This is the 1:1 the CBI has talked about many times. Yes, the dinar may revalue first in-country to just over a dollar, but this is still not what the CBI meant by 1:1 in the past...the VALUE of the dinar has always been there...only when they drop the three zeros it becomes more manageable and nominal.  The VALUE is still the same.

The electronic systems are taking hold...This will allow the shrinkage/withdrawal of the tangible currency notes from the market that is needed in the process to Delete the Zeros...a critical part of it...

I can remember hearing as far back as 2010 from Dr Shabibi the importance of the electronic banking effort and its advantages to the process. Yes, they MUST shrink down the currency mass...if you shrink down the monetary mass than what is left will be worth more.

INTECH IN IRAQ: HOW IS IRAQ RESHAPING ITS FINANCIAL FUTURE?

Financial technology (FinTech) has become a major driver of innovation in the global banking sector, providing innovative solutions to facilitate financial services and increase their efficiency.

In Iraq, banks have begun to adopt these technologies, which has contributed to improving customer experience and expanding the scope of financial services provided. The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company plays an important role in supporting this trend, as it is a pillar of financial stability, by encouraging banks to adopt financial technology and providing a regulatory environment supportive of innovation.

Financial technology has demonstrated its ability to enhance financial inclusion in Iraq, as it can provide affordable and accessible financial services to wide segments of society, especially in remote and rural areas. Through mobile applications and online banking, individuals and businesses can access a variety of financial services, such as money transfers, paying bills, and obtaining loans, without having to visit bank branches.

The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company is working to enhance the use of financial technology in Iraq, through cooperation with banks and financial technology companies to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of the Iraqi market. The company is also working to provide the necessary regulatory framework to ensure the security and safety of digital financial services, and to protect consumer rights.
