Iraqi dinars will be sole currency allowed for financial contracts: Council of Ministers, 27 OCT
Iraqi dinars will be sole currency allowed for financial contracts: Council of Ministers
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Iraqi Council of Ministers decided on Tuesday that contracts executed within Iraq shall be denominated in Iraqi dinars, except those entered into through external, bank-issued “documentary credits” based on the terms agreed between the parties.
A comprehensive list of past state contracts originally denominated in US dollars will be compiled by the Ministry of Planning. The compiled list will be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq.
A maximum monthly limit will also be established by the Ministry of Planning for the coverage of contracts in US dollars, with the Central Bank of Iraq ensuring coverage at an exchange rate of 1,320 dinars per US dollar. In order to facilitate monthly payments for these contracts, the funds will be deposited into the Ministry of Finance's account in accordance with the necessary release controls.
Iraqi borrowers from government banks who have taken loans in US dollars are now required to repay their loans in Iraqi dinars. These loans will be covered by the Central Bank of Iraq in US dollars, which will then compensate the lending banks. This process applies exclusively to loans issued prior to the issuance of the Council’s decision.
During the past year, a devaluation of the Iraqi dinar value took place after measures were taken by the United States in late 2022 to stamp out money laundering and the channeling of dollars to Iran and Syria. At the time, the Iraqi dinar’s street value plunged to an exchange rate of nearly 1,750 dinars per US dollar.
Iraq’s Balancing Act: Endorsing Gaza Peace While Protecting National Interests, 27 OCT
Iraq’s Balancing Act: Endorsing Gaza Peace While Protecting National Interests
In the tumultuous theater of global politics, Iraq has once again demonstrated its steadfast commitment to the Palestinian cause. At a pivotal United Nations General Assembly session, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry confirmed its sponsorship and support for a resolution calling for a halt to the conflict in Gaza. This development, however, is not a simple act of solidarity. It carries the weight of Iraq’s historical stance, national interests, and a resounding call for peace.
Reasserting Iraq’s Stance
At the helm of Iraq’s diplomatic narrative is Ahmed Al-Sahhaf, the spokesperson for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry. His affirmation of Iraq’s sponsorship of the resolution is a clear signal of Iraq’s unwavering position on the Palestinian issue. The country has long championed the right of Palestinians to establish their state with Jerusalem as its capital. Iraq’s decision to join the resolution not only strengthens the international call for peace but also reaffirms its longstanding advocacy for Palestinian self-determination.
A measured commitment
While Iraq’s support for the resolution is emphatic, it is not without reservations. Al-Sahhaf expressed concerns about certain terms in the resolution that contradict Iraq’s national legislation. Among these contentious points are the two-state solution and the concept of equality between Palestinian civilians and their adversaries. While the particulars of these reservations remain undisclosed, they signify Iraq’s strategic balancing act between international solidarity and national interests. This nuanced stance underscores Iraq’s policy of principled engagement and its commitment to ensuring that international decisions align with its own legal and geopolitical framework.
Implications and Impact
The international legitimacy of the resolution is bolstered by its endorsement by countries like Iraq. This backing puts pressure on both Israel and Hamas to cease hostilities. It also opens potential avenues for diplomatic negotiations, advancing the prospect of a peaceful resolution to this longstanding conflict. Iraq’s commitment to the resolution highlights the nation’s role in the broader geopolitical landscape, contributing to the collective international voice advocating for peace.
