Al-Shammari: There Are No Sanctions From The US Treasury Department On Iraq
Advisor to the Prime Minister, Fadi Al-Shammari, denied the existence of sanctions from the US Treasury Department on Iraq due to smuggling the dollar abroad. Al- Shammari said in a press statement, “In the past, we stood in amazement at the money laundering operations in the currency auction, and the cries were rising from all political, social, and popular classes because it was a drain on the economy.” “There were major money laundering operations that benefited countries, organizations, and corrupt people,” he said.
He added, "The launch of the platform is Iraq's entry into the international financial and economic system. There are no sanctions imposed on Iraq by the US Treasury, but sometimes there is a tightening of standards to deliver potential political messages."
He continued, "The security services are on alert to pursue dollar speculators," stressing that "basic foodstuffs were not affected by the price of the dollar."

MOST RECENT ANTICIPATED OPENING RATES AS PER RAY [Guru RayRen98] DONG .47 ...DINAR 3.81...
Things have been moving along until today. The man who's been quiet for months and months and months decided to come out of his shell and start threatening the United States. Article: "Sadr calls on government and parliament to close U.S. Embassy in Iraq"
I hope Iraq stays out of thefray and stays away from all these conflicts, doesn't get involved andjust goes about their own business.
My concern is they're not goingto be able to do that...We're definitely going into some interesting times in our lives but Iraq right now, man I hope they just stay outof this altogether. I don't know if it's going to be possible.
Nothing's worse than we feel like we're getting that much closer to increases in the Iraqi dinar only to have this kind of crap happen andwe start all over from square one. Keep your fingers crossed...
The gap between the fixed exchange rate versus the black market is widening...The last time we saw that Iraq was forced to increase the value of the Iraqi dinars. It's very possible between now and the end of the year we could see an increase in the exchange rate.
Nothing significant but at least going in the right direction. Like I said, they're going to go up in increments...At least they can do us a favor and take us back to where we originally started - 1,190 dinars for every dollar. I would love to see a better exchange rate than that but I'll take it. That's twice in one year going in the right direction. This is exactly what we would want.
Al-Shammari: No US sanctions on Iraq and negotiations with Iran to create a platform for currencies other than the dollar
Al-Shammari said in a press statement, "In the past, we were astonished at the money laundering operations at the currency auction, and the cries were rising from all political, social, and popular classes because it was a drain on the national economy," noting, "There were major money laundering operations that benefited countries, organizations, and corrupt people."
He added, "The launch of the platform is Iraq's entry into the international financial and economic system. There are no sanctions imposed on Iraq by the US Treasury, but sometimes there is a tightening of standards to deliver potential political messages."
Al-Shammari pointed out that “the previous government did not prepare the requirements for implementing the platform system, and Al-Shammari: 90% of major companies entered the platform after the percentage did not exceed 5%,” noting that “operations against dollar speculators are continuing.”
He continued, "The security services are on alert to pursue dollar speculators," stressing that "basic foodstuffs were not affected by the price of the dollar."
Al-Shammari explained, “The average value of bilateral free trade between Iraq and Iran is approximately $20 million per day if we adopt the annual trade volume of $5.5-6 billion,” noting that “there are negotiations with the Iranian side to create a platform for new currencies other than the dollar to secure intra-trade between the two countries.” ".
He said, "Visa Direct is a new banking service launched by one of the most important digital banks in the country under the supervision of the Central Bank and in cooperation with Visa International. The Central Bank seeks to generalize the experience to the rest of the real banks operating in the country."
He continued by saying that “Visa Direct is a banking service that will provide a banking service to local merchants who transfer small amounts of money outside the country within 30 minutes while sitting at home, and this will help in the collapse of black market prices and the speculation of speculators,” pointing out that “the Visa Direct service is a basic and strategic start.” of the banking and financial system in Iraq.
