Clare:  An economic expert calls for using a basket of currencies to evaluate the Iraqi dinar

1/17/2024

 Economic affairs expert, Raad Tawij, called today, Wednesday, for the use of a basket of currencies, whether the euro, the Chinese yuan, or the UAE dirham, in valuing the Iraqi dinar in a way that competes with its valuation in the dollar.

Tawij said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency ( NINA ): “As a result of the high competitiveness of the Iraqi economy in the field of monetary and commodity use in its trade exchange with other countries, and as a result of its use of the dollar at a rate of 95% within the framework of the Iraqi electronic platform and for the most diverse monetary exchange and to prevent the monopoly of a country’s currency.”

One on the platform, so a basket of currencies, whether the euro, the Chinese yuan, or the UAE dirham, must be used to value the Iraqi dinar in a way that competes with its value in the dollar.”

He stressed, "Allowing users of this basket of currencies to use the electronic platform will contribute to creating monetary balance and addressing any deficit in other currencies."  LINK

There is another one Iqd Iraq BY NADER FROM MID EAST

Sudanese to Washington: There is no need to worry! American newspaper: “Adjustment as the situation changes”, 19 JAN

Sudanese to Washington: There is no need to worry! American newspaper: “Adjustment as the situation changes”

Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani said that negotiating the status of the international coalition led by the United States “is no cause for concern” as the Iraqi forces are now in control of everything, especially the borders with Syria, in an interview with a prominent American newspaper, which said that the position of the Iraqi Prime Minister “A change compared to last year,” while indicating “possible adjustments” in the status of American forces.

Al-Sudani in an interview with the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the Davos Forum, followed by the 964 network:
We believe that the justifications for the international coalition have ended. There is no set date for the coalition’s departure.

We do not accept repeated attacks on American forces, and we also reject the American drone strike in Baghdad against a leader of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

There is no need to worry, we have security forces capable of controlling all areas of Iraq. The Iraqi-Syrian border is under complete control.

We do not agree with US policy towards the conflict in Gaza. The West ignores the suffering of the Palestinians before Hamas attacks Israel, and pressure must be put on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the “genocide.”

American newspaper:
US officials have confirmed that some adjustments to the status of the international coalition, which includes about 900 soldiers from more than two dozen countries as well as a battalion of 2,500 US soldiers, may be necessary. They also warned that an early withdrawal of US and foreign forces could increase instability in the Middle East.

Al-Sudani’s request to leave the US-led coalition signals a change in his position, as he said last year in an interview with the same newspaper that foreign forces were still needed to train and assist Iraqi units in the fight against ISIS, but not to participate in combat.
