Specialist: Floating the dinar is economic suicide
5/3/2024
- Baghdad
Economist Muhammad Hashem Helou confirmed that the central bank cannot float the dinar exchange rate.
Helu said, "The Central Bank of Iraq cannot think about floating the exchange rate because it will abandon its only influential tool in light of the weakness and disruption of other economic tools."
He added that the exchange rate is the nominal stabilizer of monetary policy in Iraq, and thinking about abandoning it is economic suicide and the bank cannot even think about that.
He continued, adding that floating the exchange rate in the presence of a parallel market and large speculators, and the presence of people who own billions of dinars and others who own billions of dollars, will lead to a sharp decline in the value of the currency, high levels of inflation, and rising prices..

Economic: The fixed dollar exchange rate depletes Iraq's foreign currency reserves
5/3/2024
Economist Manar Al-Obaidi confirmed that the fixed dollar exchange rate adopted by Iraq depletes the country's foreign currency reserves.
Al-Obaidi said, “The only thing that is completely under the control of the Iraqi state is the exchange rate, which forcefully drains all foreign reserves to maintain an imaginary fixed price that traders benefit from to increase their profit margin.”
He added, "I never called for following a free-float policy. Rather, I called for a start to follow a compensation policy managed with a small volatility factor and gradually work to increase it until complete liberalization is reached."
He continued, “The alternative to maintaining the fixed exchange rate is to continue depleting the reserves until they run out and the oil market is exposed to very expected future fluctuations. Then, will we be forced, not given the choice, to an absolute floatation of the currency or a shocking reduction in the exchange rate, as happened in 2020, and then the risks will be greater and greater?”

Okie had some positive news earlier today, thought we would hear some indication of the new rate when the Premier returned to his country from his visit to the US, the banker is assisting his hospitalized wife in CA so very little news from him so I guess we wait for FOREX to open, but again sports fans we appear to be very close, so say your prayers tonight.
This may be a little longer post than usual as the powers that be do not wish to get anyone''s hopes up only to be disappointed when the RV does not come in. Well I spent 40 years in the investment banking and financial planning industry which allows for a slight advantage in researching certain areas of the acknowledged resources regarding money and securities. Those areas being the IMF, FOREX, WTO, etc, etc.
The Prime Minister returned to his country on this past Monday, he turned over to the head of the CBI to announce the pending revaluation of his nations currency. The CBI provided the new rate to the IMF who in turn provided this rate to the FOREX which by policy has 72 hours from receipt to post for universal recognition which will be sometime between now and Wednesday 4/24/2024 by 7:00 PM.
Since both the Gazette and the IMF rate schedules are published on Wednesday each week we can assume should there be a revaluation we should receive that news during this window. Don't get excited or make any serious decisions but please stay calm and watch the next few days as we seem to be this close. GOD Bless

From Iraq:
"...of floating to achieve a homogeneous equilibrium exchange rate..."
This article talks about utilizing supply and demand to create a higher exchange rate to meet the demands for their currency currently taking place.
The global standard for raising a currency's price is 3 months. Iraq has reached a higher level of money velocity for the last 16 months.
This is putting price pressure on their currency. Currently, they are seeking more bilateral contracts to secure a position that would allow them to change their monetary policy.
Currently, "The General Directorate for Industrial Development (GDID), part of the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals, has granted 219 preliminary licenses for new industrial projects."
An industrial project is an investment to create, expand, and develop facilities that will increase the production of goods and services in a country.

NADER FROM MID EAST
The budget have to be approved by the parliament...Sudani cannot make a decision by himself...The budget doesn't have to be approved by parliament...it's not true. They have pass by the parliament and parliament have to vote for it.
Any changes on that budget the parliament have to agree into it and have to vote for it and have to sign it and send it to Sudani and then the president of Iraq...It is active yes but not completely active. Any changes have to be approved by the parliament of Iraq.
People calling me since last Thursday asking me, 'We hearing the exchange rate will change on Monday?'
...I didn't see anything about Monday. I see really good news. I believe with all this going on they should go for it. I think they're ready. I don't know when or why not. Some people saying Monday...before the end of the month...May... July. It's all prediction. I wish it could happen now. Today...Let's watch it...
