Iraqi Dinar Revaluation: Why It Might Not Be Good News for Citizens!"

The sudden rise of the dollar in Iraq: Does it threaten the stability of the national economy?, 23 JULY

 Dollar prices exceed their limits: Are we facing an unprecedented cash crisis in Iraq?

 Currency exchange markets in Iraq witnessed a significant increase in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar this Monday morning. Prices in the markets of Baghdad and Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, recorded a significant increase, which raises questions about the possible causes and economic impacts of these changes.

Price hike details

t the opening of the two main stock exchanges in Baghdad, Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya, the dollar rose to 149,250 dinars for every 100 dollars, compared to 149,000 dinars recorded yesterday. In local markets, the selling price of the dollar reached 150,250 dinars, while the buying price recorded 148,250 dinars for every 100 dollars. In Erbil, the dollar also recorded an increase in exchange shops, where the selling price reached 149,400 dinars and the buying price 149,300 dinars for every 100 dollars.

Possible reasons

The rise in the dollar exchange rate is due to several possible factors, including:

Changes in supply and demand: There may be an increase in demand for the US dollar by businesses or individuals, causing the price to rise.

Global economic shifts: Changes in global economic policies and oil prices can affect currency exchange rates.

Local economic conditions: Local economic challenges, such as fiscal deficits or political tensions, may lead to exchange rate fluctuations.

Economic impacts

This increase comes at a sensitive time for the Iraqi economy, as it may lead to several noticeable economic impacts:

Increased import costs: As the dollar rises, the cost of imports will become higher, which may affect domestic prices of goods and services.

Impact on citizens: Citizens who depend on importing goods and products in dollars may be affected by an increase in the cost of living.

Impact on investment: A rise in exchange rates can have negative effects on foreign and domestic investment, as investors may look for more stable markets.

The rise in the US dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar is an important issue that requires close monitoring. It is important for investors and economic decision makers to monitor developments and take the necessary steps to mitigate the potential negative effects on the national economy.  link

   Once they remove these 3 zeros from the exchange rate...it's going to gain in the new value.  But that's not where they wanted at the RI.  They will float it and they will re-denominate and then it will hit an RV as it floats from an RI back to the RV.  

 There will be an increase in the Iraqi dinar but it won't effect you [Iraqi citizens]..

 Do they need to have value to their currency in order to join the WTO?  

 No.  That's coming...I don't care if they going into the WTO now, tomorrow, next week, whenever.  They're probably moving it to the beginning of next year.  It's not important.  But the evidence of being in the WTO screams what?  Monetary reform float.

The Iraqi dinar first will come out as a reinstatement instantly and work itself back up to an  RV..

Al-Nusairi: Implementing banking reform strategies is the main pillar for reforming the national economy , 23 JULY

 The advisor to the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Samir Al-Nusairi, confirmed today, Monday, that the banking reform and development strategy is the main pillar for reforming the comprehensive national economy.

Al-Nusairi said in a special interview with “Al-Eqtisad News” that “the strategy of banking reform and development is the basic pillar for comprehensive and radical reform of the national economy in line with what is stated in Article Twelve, Paragraph (7) of the government program, which clearly and accurately stated that (banking reform, with what it provides of a real and effective basis for the advancement of the Iraqi economy and the activation of investment through the restructuring and mechanization of government banks, reviewing their work, and stimulating and enabling private banks to be able to support investment and development in a real way).”

Al-Nusairi touched on the "importance of the banking sector, as it occupies a vital position within the financial structure of the economy in mobilizing savings and financing development through its ability to flow money between the categories of the national economy, which is the basic step for economic reform."

He pointed out "the measures currently taken by the Central Bank with the support of the government to launch its new third strategy for reforming and developing the banking sector for the years 2024-2026 according to seven main objectives, 24 sub-objectives and 75 initiatives to implement the objectives focusing on achieving monetary and financial stability, strengthening the banking sector, enhancing digital transformation, activating electronic payment, enhancing financial inclusion, maintaining a sound financial system, developing the organizational structure and human resources, strengthening the internal and external relations of the Central Bank, and the banking sector's compliance with international standards."

Al-Nusairi pointed out that "a national strategy for bank lending in Iraq for the years 2024-2029 was launched, aiming to increase credit granted to the private sector by 4% of the non-oil GDP, which is equivalent to approximately 7 trillion dinars, and the second goal is to increase credit to small and medium enterprises by 3% of the non-oil GDP, which is equivalent to approximately 5 trillion dinars."

He stressed that "the new mechanisms depend on organizing the granting of loans to develop small, medium and micro enterprises by relying on and relying on a new approach to determine the basic objectives of economic development, evaluating the current situation of private sector financing, and benefiting from international experiences in this field, as well as continuing the procedures and using monetary policy applications to control the exchange rate and reduce the gap between the official rate and the parallel rate towards reaching the targeted and balanced exchange rate."

 Al-Nusairi explained that, "If it were not for the many services provided by the banking system in developed countries, these countries would not have been able to achieve the progress and economic growth they have achieved."

He explained that "the strength of the banking structure has become a necessity for building a prosperous economy that adopts modern systems and sound sustainable development. The development of banking habits and awareness of the importance of developing banking institutions in a way that ensures the building of a national savings base and develops the financial resources necessary to build the economy have become priorities for decision-makers."

The advisor to the Private Banks Association continued: “The soundness of the banking system and the mobilization of sound decisions in the field of economic policies towards developing and modernizing banking systems ensures the achievement of momentum in the world of real and financial investment, which stimulates financial and monetary markets, which leads to attracting foreign capital seeking profit.

Therefore, the decision-maker should take the necessary measures to fortify and strengthen local banking systems in a way that makes them capable of facing the challenges of transferring capital to and from abroad without causing money laundering or smuggling foreign currency, and then increasing the profitability of financial and banking institutions and strengthening the structure of the gross domestic product, which is what the government and the Central Bank are currently active in.”  link

 Currency value and an exchange rate are two totally different things and are determined differently. Changing the exchange rate does not make value. Value is made by the monetary policies that CBI and Iraqi government have put in place...

Now, the inflationary zeros will be removed because the government has met the requirements of the CBI and made an economic environment that will support both the value of the dinar and keep the economy humming along.  Value through policies must be restored first which will be represented with new notes being lower denominations... 

Meaning the three zero notes will be physically removed from circulation and the lower notes without the extra zeros will be issued. Then and only then the exchange rate reflects an increase in the relative price of the Iraqi dinar compared to the price of another currency.
