 Al-Fateh: We have strong economic factors to move towards countries other than America, 27 NOV

The representative of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Ahmed Al-Musawi, confirmed on Monday that Iraq has many elements of economic power that enable it to cooperate with other countries, stimulate commercial activity, export oil, exchange goods and merchandise, and distance itself from America and its hegemony. 

Al-Moussawi told Al-Maalouma, “Iraqi funds should have been liberated and the government had the authority to benefit from them to serve the country, after leaving Chapter Seven, which greatly restricted Iraq.” 

He added, "The government has many economic and political papers, and there are many countries that have very strong economic activities and have announced the opening of the doors of cooperation with Iraq and the conclusion of contracts and agreements to serve economic interests." 

He stated, "There is a great possibility for Iraq to dispense with cooperation with the American side and move toward other countries, so that through this cooperation, oil can be exported and currencies, goods, and commodities can be exchanged."

Al-Moussawi pointed out, “Exiting the aforementioned clause allows Iraq to control its funds, but there is political weakness regarding the failure to liberate Iraq’s funds and their remaining with America.”   link

Experts: Electronic payment raises the value of the dinar, 27 NOV

 Experts: Electronic payment raises the value of the dinar

The first  11/27/2023  Baghdad: Hoda Al-Azzawi  Experts and specialists in financial and economic affairs believed that the electronic payment system would preserve the monetary supply of the Iraqi dinar and raise its value against the dollar in later stages.

The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Economic and Financial Affairs, Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, explained to “Al-Sabah” that “the cash payments system is linked to a high degree of certainty whenever payments are made by electronic or digital means, which provides an accurate liquidity indicator for the banking system and reduces the degree of ambiguity.” And the uncertainty in banking liquidity.

The payments system also provides sufficient information about the flow of the cash mass into the banking system, and the amounts of paid and accumulated amounts are clear and their actual balances are stated at all times during the banking working day.”

He pointed out that "in light of monetary systems that rely on direct cash payments, bank liquidity management policies surround themselves with additional hedges of disrupted liquidity in order to anticipate liquidity risks, which disrupts part of banking operations and credit in particular," explaining that "as payments increase..

Electronic behavior as a behavior in daily dealings, the management of the cash mass and its flow in the banking system will be subject to the rule of clarity in cash management, and then direct bank credit towards profitable areas, which will provide efficient use of the cash mass, in addition to that the percentage of cash leakages outside the banks will decrease, which means that A structural change in the behavior of cash demand among individuals and banks will trend toward decline, due to dealing with electronic payment systems that are linked to bank accounts.”

He added, “Thus, the development of the payments environment and its transition from a direct cash environment or cash payment in payment and receipt operations to the use of electronic payment will, in all circumstances, restrict all local cash payment in currencies (other than the dinar) and spare the economy and distance its transactions from cash payment in foreign currency, because systems Digital payments do not allow transactions in the local economy in anything other than the national currency,” he explained, explaining that “in Milan, the economy will move its transaction payments to the (digital dinar) instead of the (cash dollar), whose transactions in internal settlements are legally rejected completely.”

For his part, the head of the “Regional Center for Studies”, Ali Al-Sahib, indicated in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “electronic collection or electronic payment is a step that the government adopted not long ago, but it has not been implemented yet, and the Iraqi citizen in general lacks a culture.” Electronic payment, even though most countries in the world, including neighboring countries, have been dealing with it for years.”

He explained, "Despite this, if this practice is applied in Iraq, it will have both negative and positive paths. As for the positive, it is the abolition of cash and the preservation of storage, as well as preventing the banknote from being damaged and possibly stolen or lost, as well as reducing cases of corruption in gas stations and elsewhere, not to mention waste." The time in the process of receiving the money, disbursing it, etc.

He added, “As for the negatives of the process - they lie in the citizen’s ignorance and unwillingness to deal - in addition to the fees for obtaining the card and other negatives.”

He added, "It is remarkable that Iraq consumes approximately (30) million liters of vehicle fuel daily. These are very large quantities and require government effort to spread the culture of public awareness to enter this new stage," indicating that "forcing the citizen to use electronic payment may confuse The daily scene and reality raises complaints and complaints from citizens, and the best solution is for the state to give the citizen the choice to follow one of the two methods until he gets used to electronic payment.”    https://alsabaah.iq/87963-.html
