An Economic Expert Expects The Dollar To Rise Before Ramadan
Time: 02/12/2024 16:33:00 Read: 1,118 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic expert, Ali Karim Idhib, expected today, Monday, that the dollar will rise before the holy month of Ramadan.
Idhib said {to Al-Furat News} that: “Despite the government measures and the Central Bank of Iraq to support the national currency, the reality is still different, as the exchange rates in the parallel market amount to 153 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, while the official exchange rate is 132 thousand dinars.” ".
He added, "Which means there is a price difference of more than 20 thousand dinars. The reason for this lies in the limited supply of the US dollar and the difficulty of obtaining it by individuals or small merchants. This is what Baghdad seeks in a step to prevent smuggling and money laundering."
Idhib pointed out, "This step, despite its effectiveness, is somewhat harmful and has caused, as I said, a major shortage in the supply of the dollar, and the demand for it is increasing, especially with the demand of citizens during this period that is witnessing the disruption of official working hours and the departure of many Iraqis to travel to regions inside and outside Iraq."
He added, "In addition to the increase in purchasing power for shopping, as we are approaching the month of Ramadan, the market depends by up to 90 percent on imported dollars."
Idhib called for "implementing the policies adopted by the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, while liberalizing the factors for obtaining the dollar smoothly and according to certain ceilings for all citizens."
Selling prices in exchange shops in local markets in Baghdad today, Monday, reached 153,250 dinars, while purchasing prices reached 152,250 dinars. LINK

Zimbabwe's governor considers using gold to back his currency.

Economist: The Window For Selling The Currency Ends In 2024, And The Central Bank Will Devote Itself To Supervision
Time: 02/12/2024 20:44:48 Read: 234 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikhli, confirmed today, Monday, the end of the window for selling the currency during 2024, and the Central Bank will devote itself to supervision.
Al-Sheikhli said {to Al-Furat News} that: “The window for selling the currency is about to end during the year 2024, and cash sales are now few in relation to remittances, and there are more than 200 million dollars transferred for the purposes of importing goods from abroad according to the method of documentary credits, and this process excludes many problems.”
He added, "The Central Bank of Iraq decided to end the currency window process and adopt correspondent banks as an alternative. There will be a new mechanism to provide currency for transfers without returning to the currency window or the electronic platform."
Al-Sheikhly believes, “This mechanism will save a lot of effort and external relations. Therefore, the Central Bank will devote itself to the role of supervision and auditing and not enhancing the balances. It will also absolve itself of responsibility for the import process according to its law.”
He added, "There will be more than one external correspondent bank in different currencies according to the trade imported from the source. This will eliminate the problems, the most prominent of which is the process of leakage of funds from the Central Bank and banks to prohibited parties." LINK

[Alaska Bank Story]
BANK INQUIRER: I called North Rim Bank, they didn't want to talk to me at all because they said I don't have an account. They said I would have to wait 90 days after opening an account before I could even exchange. We scratched that bank off the list. Then I called The Credit Union One and Alaska USA Credit Union. They told me neither one do exchanges.
FRANK: I suggest you need to go to a major bank ...Go to the state bank...
BANK INQUIRER: I called USAA Bank...they do not do foreign cash exchanges. Then I went to Key Bank...They do foreign cash exchanges in the bank. She looked up the currency and nothing shows yet...They do not have a De La Ru Machine they said they'd have to send it out.
