"An Anomalous Case"... Economic Criticism Of Dealing In The Dollar In Local Markets, 27 SEPT

 "An Anomalous Case"... Economic Criticism Of Dealing In The Dollar In Local Markets

September 26 19:07   Information/private..  Today, Tuesday, economic expert Hazem Hadi criticized the dealing in the dollar in local markets, while he considered this situation “an anomaly,” among the main reason behind the high exchange rate.

The economic expert, Hazem Hadi, said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The market is governed by supply and demand. If demand exceeds supply, this will lead to a rise in the dollar, but the central bank will try gradually and by all means and methods to limit the unjustified rise.”'He added, "Limiting dealing in the dinar is important because it is the national currency," considering dealing in the dollar internally "an anomalous case, since most countries deal in their local currency internally."

The economic expert explained that “measures to limit dealing in the dinar internally will lead to reducing demand for the dollar, and as long as demand decreases, it will affect supply,” indicating that “the main problem is not internal demand, but rather external demand.”

He stressed the need to "reduce random and unjustified import operations, as most of the supplies of goods and services have no economic feasibility."

Earlier, a member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Al-Sayhoud, confirmed that “there are local internal agendas, as well as international forces, that insist on the dollar remaining at this height,” pointing out that “the dollar is a major project whose goal is to force the government to follow a path that these international forces desire.” ".

The series of rise in the dollar exchange rates in Iraqi markets is still continuing, amid conflicting opinions about the real reasons that led to the exhaustion of the local currency again, especially as it began to rise to levels that warn of a great danger to the country’s economy.   LINK

"RV UPDATE" BY ANGEL1 & MILITIAMAN, 27 SEPT

 Angel1 

 They're doing away with the auctions January 1, 2024.  But as of this Thursday...the implementation of how you do the auctions are completely changing...it's dinars from here on out only...


 There are only two things left to do on this laundry list of things for us to get to the bank.  What are they

 Change the exchange rate and release the lower denominations...at that point, shortly thereafter if not simultaneously. 

 I have the opinion it'll be on Forex internationally.  They'll have an internationally exchangeable currency.  That is when we go to the bank...I would not be surprised if something special happened very quickly.

 The showcasing of them having had an international exchange rate has got to be coming because the WTO is not going to allow IMO ascension to the WTO without having a valuation of their country.

  Al-Sudani came home from the United States of America.  He showcased his presentation.  He did it very very well, professionally, turns out people felt he was a statesman all around the world. 

 When it comes down to it are you going to do a tripartite budget at 1310?  The answer is probably 100% IMO no...

A “major demonstration” followed by a comprehensive strike… exchange companies rise up against the Central Bank, 27 SEPT

A “major demonstration” followed by a comprehensive strike… exchange companies rise up against the Central Bank, 27 SEPT

 Iraqi exchange companies have announced their readiness to stage a “major demonstration” on Thursday, followed by a comprehensive strike across all governorates. The protest is against the decisions of the Central Bank and aims to demand the bank to address a package of demands that would stabilize the local market and support the private sector. The exchange companies hope that the protest will contribute to the overall stability of the economy.

The exchange companies have released a statement through “Jarida” announcing their intention to protest against the Central Bank’s confusing decisions, hostile and retaliatory practices, and illegal penalties. The protests will begin with a major demonstration on Thursday, October 5, followed by a comprehensive general strike across all governorates, which will stop the activities of all companies and officially exit the currency auction window. The exchange companies feel that these decisions have affected over 1,000 companies, causing the dollar exchange rate to rise and resulting in severe damage to the private sector. The exchange companies are one of the most important pillars of the private sector, with over 2,000 companies and 10,000 employees. They play a prominent role in the Iraqi economy and its sustainability.

The exchange companies announced that the Central Bank issued a set of demands aimed at stabilizing the local market and supporting the private sector. Some of the most notable demands include:

1- Financial institutions can continue their work by stopping arbitrary measures, revenge policies, and sanctions, and by allowing the Central Bank to exercise its evaluative supervisory role over its departments.
2- Before issuing penalties and deprivation letters, legal contexts must be re-introduced by clarifying with the company.
3- Clear and binding schedules should be issued, indicating every violation and its corresponding punishment, to put an end to arbitrary dealings and injustice against companies.
4- Companies’ previous cash shares will be returned to meet traveler needs and cover expenses.
5-Resolving late transactions promptly as soon as penalties are imposed.
6- It is crucial to remove corrupt elements from the Central Bank’s departments and to swiftly replace those who seek to harm the institution and the Iraqi state.
