Kaperoni
Question: "What happens now that the auctions are soon to be over?
What does this mean for the Dinar holders out there Kap?" It means monetary policy is changing after 20 years to reflect the economic changes in Iraq. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
---Floating the currency is the best option but only once they have created a diverse economy that is not dependent solely on oil.
...New currencies coming out in Iraq. Not true, the Iraqi dinar is the currency of Iraq. As far as any new smaller denominations, they will be introduced only as needed if and when the value increases and warrants so. There is no significant RV!
--...The dinar to float at well over a dollar. Unlikely, the dinar when it floats will be whatever the current exchange rate is and could rise gradually accordingly.
Community comment: "Today the cbi says there are no new printing of bills"
That is correct. The Central Bank does not randomly print currency unless it's to replace damaged or worn out notes. There is no need for a new currency unless it is warranted. Moving to digital will eventually reduce physical notes.
Question: ----"They have a very largebudget ,without an increase in rate how do they meet the projects that is lined up?"
External expenses are paid in dollars since their primary revenue is dollars. Dinar is used to pay salaries, etc. in country.
CCommunity Comment: "Hopefully in the next 5 yrs we will see an appreciation of the currency price, based on the last year of progress." I agree! Iraq has an excellent opportunity now to diversify their economy and develop the banking system.
Much of the float articles that we have seen have concerns about speculators that is because they are referencing dealers speculating within the country. That will not happen.

Baghdad Council demands Sweeg monitoring, continuous commissions even if the card is not used
An individual from the Baghdad Common Committee, Ahmed Mohsen, pushed today, Thursday, the requirement for the National Bank to circle back to crafted by the “Drink” organization for electronic installment cards, with expanding protests about the presence of huge commissions deducted by the organization, as well as the distinction in the dollar swapping scale while moving.
Mohsen stated in an interview with Al-Sumaria TV that in addition to the commission rate, which is regarded as extremely high and does not match the service it provides, one of Sweij’s most prominent issues is the subpar service.
They explained that the Central Bank has the legal authority to set the transfer commission rate, which means that there is an assumption of mutual benefit between the company and the agencies responsible for monitoring it, and the common citizen pays for it. As for the difference in dollar exchange and the transfer cost caused by commissions, they explained that this issue is resolved by the Central Bank.
He emphasized that Sweeg Company must be monitored by the Central Bank and that the percentage of transfer operations must be proportional to the amount being transferred because it is impossible to take a commission percentage from citizens at levels comparable to investment companies.
The company-related data revealed baffling figures for the commissions and fees it deducts. For instance, just for filling out a card, the company takes a minimum of 1,500 dinars, or 1.5%, or 15,000 dinars, out of every million. It additionally deducts 1,000 dinars just for inquisitive about the card balance at the ATM. Automatically, in addition to deducting a thousand dinars as a “card management” commission only in the event that the citizen does not use the card for thirty days.
