This visit aims to continue the discussions initiated during the initial round of talks held in Baghdad on Wednesday, November 15.

They are set to conduct discussions with several Turkish financial and banking institutions, including the Central Bank of Turkey, the Banking Association, and the Turkish Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency.

The discussions will primarily focus on various topics, including negotiations with Turkish banks to establish correspondent accounts for Iraqi banks in different foreign currencies, facilitating settlements between the two countries, and resolving impediments hindering the execution of this process.

The Iraqi financial delegation is expected to discuss easing the use of credit cards for Iraqi residents and tourists in the Turkish banking market.

The regulation of trade exchange between the two nations will be deliberated through Turkish and Iraqi customs authorities matching supplied goods to Iraq with financial transfer documents via foreign currency exchange windows, ensuring the protection and stability of trade interests between both countries.

Iraqi Dinar🔥Even Bigger Exchange Rates I Can't Imagine🔥iraqi dinar Rate ...

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 26 NOV

 Militia Man 

 Article:  "The dollar exchange rates are subject to the forces of supply and demand in the market" 

 By adding other currencies from around the world they're going do diminish the need for the dollar and therefore it's basically going to go away...these guys are not playing games anymore...The US Treasury, Central Bank of Iraq, US Federal Reserve they are all working towards going one direction and that's to enhance the Global Financial System...

Article:  "The highest among the Gulf countries.. The Arab Monetary Fund expects the Iraqi economy to grow by 4.5%"  

There is likely no doubt that Iraq is about to have massive growth going forward. To be the highest just now among all middle eastern countries is going to be a big deal. I suspect the ISX is going to be on fire this next year even more so than ever before..

 There's things happening as we speak - one thing after another.  I can't imagine anybody being discouraged at this time because of the nature of what's happening

High-Level Delegation to Visit Baghdad

A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is scheduled to visit Baghdad. The primary agenda for this visit includes discussions on the salaries of KRG employees, the KRG’s share of the federal budget, and the reinstatement of oil exports from the Kurdistan region and Kirkuk through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

Negotiating Oil Exports and Production Costs

The delegation will also delve into the challenges of recommencing oil exports and the federal government’s ability to cover the production and extraction costs. The KRG’s intent is to resume oil exports, conditional on the federal government’s capacity to shoulder the cost of oil production and extraction.

Call for Commitment Towards Financial Obligations

Iraq and Turkey: A Move Towards Stronger Economic Ties

In the backdrop of an evolving global landscape, Iraq and Turkey are forging a path towards stronger economic and financial ties. A high-profile delegation from Iraq is set to journey to Ankara, Turkey, to discuss three key economic and financial files. This move is aimed at bolstering bilateral relations and cooperation between the two neighboring nations across diverse sectors. 

Fostering Economic Stability

The Iraqi delegation, comprising the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, officials from the Iraqi Central Bank, and bank managers from Iraqi financial institutions, is poised to negotiate with Turkish banks. One of the primary objectives is to establish correspondent accounts for Iraqi banks in different foreign currencies. This step is anticipated to facilitate settlements between the two countries and overcome any obstacles hampering this process. 

Enhancing Accessibility

Another focal point of the discussions will be the potential simplification of the use of credit cards for Iraqi residents and tourists in the Turkish banking market. This initiative could pave the way for smoother financial transactions and potentially boost tourism and business relations between Iraq and Turkey. 

Strengthening Regional Partnerships

A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is also scheduled to make a trip to Baghdad. The team aims to address critical issues surrounding the salaries of KRG employees, the KRG’s share of the federal budget, and the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan region and Kirkuk via the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The delegation will strive to ensure the constitutional rights of the people of Kurdistan, particularly those receiving salaries. 

These meetings between Iraq and Turkey underscore ongoing diplomatic efforts to enhance regional partnerships and economic ties. While the specific details of the files under discussion remain undisclosed, they likely encompass trade, investment, and other financial collaborations that could foster mutual economic growth.
