Abdul Wahed: Iraq incurs annual losses amounting to $21 billion due to the currency difference
In a development that is considered the largest apparent theft in the history of Iraq, the country loses a huge amount of $21 billion annually as a result of currency differences.
The head of the New Generation Parliamentary Bloc, Sarwa Abdel Wahed, wrote in a tweet on the X platform, followed by NRT Arabic, that Iraq suffers from an inability to control the parallel market, which makes the government and the central bank unable or unwilling to eliminate these losses.
Abdul Wahed added that, because Iraq’s oil is sold in dollars, and while the government and the central bank count every 100 dollars as 132 thousand dinars, Iraq is incurring huge losses due to currency differences, as a few influential individuals and companies benefit at the expense of the national treasury.
She pointed out that there are parliamentary demands to stop these obvious thefts that come in the context of its new legislative term, as Parliament must put an end to these practices and work to host all responsible parties to take radical solutions to this financial crisis.

Washington’s control over Iraq’s oil revenues did not come from nowhere. Rather, the American administration considers it a trump card through which it can impose what it wants on Baghdad and achieve its demands and interests, which are summarized in the military presence in Iraqi bases, which the people rejected andannounced their decision through the House of Representatives to reject any presence.

...in my conversation with my CBI contact on my Wednesday call...We...talked about...the monetary reform and where it stood. I was told it would take some time, maybe weeks or months even for the currency swaps to take the needed effect in leveling out the parallel black market rate for the dollar. But my contact seemed very optimistic that the plan now in place could move this rate quicker than expected even. But I was warned not to expect instant success as there is still a period of monitoring it for wide swings, in other words it needs to be stable...We can see that there has been more progress towards currency reform in the last 12 months than in the twenty years combined.
There is much prosperity and abundance coming our way this new year. Let’s all just be patient and stay calm.
Article: "SUDANESE ADVISOR: EXCHANGE RATES WILL REACH 135 THOUSAND PER 100 DOLLARS
SOON" If this really does happen we will be in great shape to see the one more program rate change we have been waiting for. But remember they will probably wait and monitor the rate to ensure it is first stable, How long we don’t know. But this is fantastic news today.
