The stability of Iraq’s economy and political landscape, as well as the global demand for oil, directly impacts the value of the Iraqi dinar.

Breaking Down Iraq's Financial Boom A 94% Rise in Remittances / Iraqi Di...

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 22 NOV

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

FIREFLY:  Iraq's security teams arrested the most dangerous foreign currency smuggler inside of Iraq.  They're saying this is the head of the snake.  They tell us that by removing this man our reforms will continue and move forward as has been promised to us Iraqi citizens.  

FRANK:  These events...are extremely powerful events to allow the new exchange rate to come out.

 Two months ago a quick little pip movement took the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar from 1460 to 1320...They were supposed to make the next step.  

I told you at that time, 'Now that they've made this movement, let's say 1320 to 1, the next one will be 1,000 to 1 and when they do they will be in position to lift the three zeros and float the currency in a basket...'   

Article quote:  "Solutions exist, and during our tenure at the Ministry of Finance (2006-2010), we succeeded in increasing the value of the dinar from (1,500 dinars to the dollar to 1,170 dinars to the dollar). We were planning to reach (1,000 dinars to the dollar) and then raise the zeros so that the dinar was equal to the dollar."  What?!? 

 Word for word of what we taught you...This is the last step.  IMO the CBI is going to be going to the US Treasury next week...This is exactly what we want next

Salary Schedule Presented to Iraq and KRG: A Step Towards Economic Stability, 22 NOV

Salary Schedule Presented to Iraq and KRG: A Step Towards Economic Stability, 22 NOV

In a significant step towards economic stability in Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), a meticulously reviewed salary schedule for public sector employees has been presented to both authorities. This development is part of a broader initiative aimed at streamlining salary disbursements and fostering transparency within the payroll systems.

Addressing Salary Discrepancies

Central to this process is the goal to eliminate any inconsistencies, prevent double payments, and detect ghost employees. A fair and systematic approach to salary payments is being sought, one that aligns with the financial capabilities of the governments and caters to the needs of the public sector workforce.

Public Sector Reforms and Economic Stability

Presenting the salary schedule is indicative of the progress being made in public sector reforms. It is a crucial stride towards overall economic stability in the region. These reforms are poised to create a more robust and transparent financial environment, ensuring that the hard-earned money of the public sector’s workforce is managed and disbursed appropriately.

Repercussions on the Ground

On a more granular level, the Delphos City Council has deliberated extensively on an ordinance establishing the pay salary and pay rate for non-bargaining employees and department supervisors. This includes a 10% increase to the upper end of the wage scale range, a response to a 2020 study of competitive compensation for similar positions in other communities.

 IPBL supports governmental efforts reducing exchange rate in parallel market

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Private Banks League (IPBL) announced on Tuesday its support for government efforts aiming to reduce the exchange rate of the US dollar in the parallel market.

The President of the IPBL, Wadee Al-Handal, in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), indicated that the great support of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, for the private sector represents the beginning of economic reform in Iraq.

Al-Handal stated that the recent measures of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the government regarding trade financing using new currencies, such as the euro, the UAE dirham, the Chinese yuan, and the Indian rupee, represent a step toward reducing the exchange rate of the US dollar in the parallel market.

The President of the IPBL noted that the regulation of trade financing carried out by the government and the CBI will lead to an increase in trade financing.

Al-Handal clarified that private banks are taking great steps in expanding international relations with international banks to facilitate the financing of Iraqi trade with countries around the world. 

The Iraqi official added that the private sector is an important partner for the government in providing services and job opportunities and reducing poverty.
