Economist: Direct banking investment is prohibited by order of the Central Bank
6/30/2024
Economic expert Mustafa Akram Hantoush explained on Sunday that the Central Bank of Iraq is adopting a “strict” central policy in its dealings with the banking sector, which limits the ability of banks to engage in direct investment and financing economic projects .
Hantoush told Shafaq News Agency that this policy makes it difficult for the banking system and investors to invest their capital in new projects without obtaining special approvals from the Central Bank.
Hantoush added that the current procedures followed by the Central Bank prevent banks from entering the areas of direct investment, which hinders the banking sector from achieving a vital role in moving the national economy.
He explained that the banking system, in light of these procedures, does not have sufficient capacity to play an effective investment role in line with normal banking rules, but rather the investment decision becomes subject to the directions and approvals of the Central Bank.
Hantoush stressed that this approach lacks the concept of "financial liberalization" for banks, which would provide the banking sector the opportunity to enter the Iraqi market directly and support investment opportunities, while adhering to banking and legal controls.
He stressed that reviewing these policies may be a necessary step to activate the role of banks in supporting economic projects and promoting investment in Iraq.

Question "Is it safe to give somebody at the bank your money before it's verified?" NO! ...Take care of them. Don't let them out of your sight...If you go to a bank and they say we're going to exchange the currency for you but we're going to have to take this currency and send it to the upper echelon bank...do a 180, about face, and run like the Road Runner. Get away from them as fast as you can. You never want to give up your dinars to anybody...Simply say, give me the address of that bank and you take them.

AKI: It's about time.
WAlKINGSTICK: What he's telling us is it's about time to release the budget and the new exchange rate with the lower notes. That's what he meant.
Walkingstick
The ATM machines, they're all poised like centurions that are standing there. These ATMs are guarding the lower notes. It's time for all of this to come out now. It's just the budget we are waiting for. We're not waiting for any laws, we're not waiting for any new procedures.

Question: "Why haven't we had a new exchange rate?"
It's always the same answer, it's the corruption from Iran that steals from the auctions from the CBI...government through the political people that they have.
You can stop asking question about the budget. It's all there. Concerning the tripartite budget, everything...all the projects...cities, new exchange rate, lower notes, ATM machines, contracts, everything, it is all there...It is a fact...The GOI has the budget and they have the new exchange rate from the CBI.

The Iraqi citizens are being given their education, not our education. They are telling the Iraqi citizens what they need to hear at this moment in the monetary reform process...
$4.9 billion for a pipeline in the budget...Didn't you say it was 6.5 billion dinars?
'Yeah.' And you're saying it equals $4.9 billion? 'Yeah.'...
They told the world...6.5 billion IQDs is equivalent to $4.9 billion...6.5 divided by 4.9 it comes out to 1.32 or $0.76...You don't have to think anymore after this...That's billions to billions not trillions to millions. That's a rate change...You're telling the world this.
