 ”The Central Bank of Iraq decides to restore the mechanism of financing foreign trade to Iraq starting next March”When they say “Next March” They mean this March of 2024. What does this mean ? 

This is all about foreign currencies and International Acceptance!   We have been looking for some of these announcements and now we are getting them. They want to strengthen the dinar…This is really great. This is all about international Trade and movement of money.

Iraqi parliament to summon CBI governor to discuss US sanctions on domestic banks

Shafaq News/ Iraqi lawmaker will meet with the governor of the central bank and other senior officials to discuss US sanctions on several Iraqi banks, a committee member said on Thursday. 

The sanctions, imposed by the US Treasury Department in July 2023, are part of a campaign to crack down on Iran's use of the dollar. 

The 14 banks affected by the sanctions are accused of facilitating financial transactions for Iran-backed groups. 

The Iraqi parliamentary committee of finance will meet with the central bank officials to discuss the impact of the sanctions on the Iraqi economy and to find ways to mitigate the damage, said committee member Moein al-Kazemi. 

The lawmaker said the meeting will discuss measures taken by the central bank to stabilize the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar, which has come under pressure since the sanctions were imposed.

  The CBI is not calling them 'lower denoms', they are calling them 'Lower notes'.  They also explain the need for fractional banking through the coins they will be giving them.  They are not using the word fractional banking with the citizens but they are telling them they will be able to get change so they will not lose money.

 I don't plan to go to a bank.  Can you imagine?

 ...I got 10 million dinars, here...Personally I  don't plan to go into a bank to exchange my currency.  I will have a team...I'm going to have my lawyer get a hold of the bank and  say, 'I represent Mr. [Frank26] and Mrs. [Frank26] and they want to make an appointment for you to come to their house and collect  a large amount of foreign currency...My lawyer will already know exactly what the bank is going to offer me...The less contact I  have with the bank the better...If you have a small amount then you're going probably go into the bank...

"Nigeria-Vietnam trade chamber partners UNILAG to revolutionise microchip industry."

Nigeria and Vietnam are making bilateral trade agreements to move forward with the microchip industry. 

As we learned just a few days ago, Nigeria is moving to a free floating rate exchange allowing supply and demand to determine their exchange rate. 

Microchips and semiconductors play a critical role in the Global Economy, and these new demands will increase new economic influences in each other's country and the world.

There is no doubt that this particular move between Nigeria and Vietnam in the microchip industry will influence the exchange rate in both countries.
