The United States Treasury, Federal Reserve, they showed up...What do you think that means? You think they're going to sit there and allow them to be lackadaisical, to be lazy, just to take your time? No. The Untied States of America works on a nano second...I find it very encouraging to speed up the monetary reform process.
Who is the new CBI governor? It is the US Treasury IMO that is now the governor of the CBI.
Why?
What is the governor of the CBI?
Just a figurehead.
Does he make any decisions? No. Does he have any authority? No. Does he cast a vote for anything? No.
What does the CBI governor do? He makes announcements to the international world, to the Iraqi citizens, he gives reports to the prime minister. He's a figurehead. He's a messenger.

For 3 reasons.. Changing the relationship is “not enough” to improve the performance of the Central Bank
8/7/2024
Special |..
Economic consultant, Ziad Al-Hashemi, confirmed today, Wednesday, that changing the governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, will not be sufficient alone to bring about the required change and improvement in the performance of the Central Bank, but rather the issue requires a broad and large screening and development of its work style, updating its management structure, and giving it the independence it needs, like other central banks.
Al-Hashemi told Al-Jarida, “The Central Bank of Iraq suffers from several major and fundamental problems, the first of which is that there is a defect in the structure of the Central Bank of Iraq, and this defect is clear in the method and style of the bank’s work. There is also weakness in the performance of the administrative system within the Central Bank as a whole, and there is also weakness in the independence of the Central Bank.”
He explained that “these factors of administrative weakness, structural defects, and weakness in the independence of the Central Bank mean that any change at the level of the leadership as individuals will not make a significant difference in bringing about a qualitative shift or positive development in the performance of the Central Bank as a whole.”
He stressed that “the Central Bank needs a broad and extensive screening, developing its work model, updating its management structure, and giving it the independence it needs, just like other central banks, to work comfortably, make its decisions, manage, implement, and monitor monetary policies with complete independence, without political interference or interference from any other party.”
Al-Hashemi concluded by saying, “Changing the governor of the Central Bank will not be enough alone to bring about the required change and improvement in the performance of the Central Bank, but rather the issue requires other requirements.”
Article: "Urgent: Central Bank Governor: No intention to reconsider dollar exchange rates, we are undergoing a major transformation" Does Alaq have any control whatsoever over the dollar? No, not at all.But what does he have control over? When he states he's not going to do anything about the dollar he means it because he can't. But what he does have control to change the exchange rate of the dinar. He has that control.
Did Alaq resign?Answer, no.
Article quote: "Even the measures taken by the government to try to down low dollar prices to 1320 to sell it in a supported manner didn't not reach the elimination of speculation in the markets reducing the price of a dollar in the black market." It didn't work to kill the black market just yet but I got a strong feeling since the dollar auctions have gone from 250 million a day down to less than 25 million...consistently for over a week...we can see where their priorities lie.
