The Interbank Market: What It Is and How It Works
SNIPPET OF ARTICLE:
What Is the Interbank Market?
The interbank market is a global network used by financial institutions to trade currencies and other currency derivatives directly between themselves. Some interbank trading is done by banks on behalf of large customers, but most interbank trading is proprietary. It takes place on behalf of the banks' own accounts.
Banks around the world use the interbank market to manage their own exchange rate and interest rate risk as well as to take speculative positions based on research. The interbank market is a subset of the interdealer market, an over-the-counter (OTC) venue where financial institutions can trade a variety of asset classes among one another and on behalf of their clients. This is often facilitated by interdealer brokers (IDBs).
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The interbank market is a global network used by financial institutions to trade currencies and other currency derivatives directly between themselves.
- Banks use the interbank market to manage their own exchange rate and interest rate risk.
- They can also use the market to take speculative positions based on research.
- Most transactions within the interbank network are for a short duration, anywhere from overnight to six months.
Understanding the Interbank Market
The interbank market for foreign exchange (forex) serves commercial turnover of currency investments as well as a large amount of speculative, short-term currency trading. The typical maturity term for transactions in the interbank market is overnight or six months.
The forex interdealer market is characterized by large transaction sizes and tight bid-ask spreads. Currency transactions in the interbank market can be either speculative (initiated with the sole intention of profiting from a currency move) or for the purposes of hedging currency exposure. It may also be proprietary but it's customer-driven to a lesser extent by an institution's corporate clients. These might include exporters and importers.

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 10 MARCH
Frank26
IMO They've already deleted the three zeros from the exchange rate. IMO that exchange rate came from the RV phase of the monetary reform that was accepted in Washington DC and all these other banks. That's why Sudani has thousands and thousands of contracts all waiting for the new exchange rate.
A lot of you are asking me, 'Do you think they'll do this new exchange rate during Ramadan?'
I would prefer before or after Ramadan, not during. Ramadan is a holy time. You don't go around celebrating that you go purchasing power. No. You go around worshiping and honoring God.

"BANK STORY VIA SIMPLY LINN: " ADVISE NOT EXCHANGING IN YOUR TOWN" BY MARKZ, 10 MARCH

Bank Story via Simply Linn:
In a nutshell - a guy goes to a chase bank and they know nothing…. He goes to another and sits down with a personal banker who asked him what assets he had… and the guy says he has foreign currency…dinar and dong…they bring in a wealth manager…
Whose eyes light up and the wealth manager shared some serious details about exchanging and the QFS...
they suggested to him to exchange out of his area for anonymity and security and to avoid local tellers talking about his exchange.
I thought this was brilliant and I plan on doing that as well. Not exchanging in my town.
Anonymity is a good thing to have. He also mentioned our funds go into special accounts...When the man asked if it was the QFS - the lady smiled and nodded and said it was account that no one else can see it…even tellers will not be able to see it.
Very safe. ...they also said they do now know “when” but know it’s coming soon and they have been preparing for it and equipped to exchange it right in front of your eyes…and there will be armed guards while you do the exchange. This was a fantastic bank story.

A leader in Al-Fatah identifies the reasons for the continued American presence in Iraq
The leader of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Aed Al-Hilali, today, Saturday, identified the reasons for the continued American presence in Iraq, while stressing the importance of Washington’s commitment to its agreements with Iraq.
Al-Hilali told Al-Maalouma, “The American presence in Iraq is due to, among other things, Washington’s fear for its interests in the region,” expressing its conviction that “it will not abide by any commitment with the Iraqi government.”
He added, "The other issue revolves around the absence of unity in the discourse of the components in Iraq, which Washington is investing in to a very large extent."
Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, confirmed earlier that Parliament intends to legislate the law ending the American presence in the coming weeks. ink
