Government Advisor: Al-Alaq's upcoming visit to New York will support the protection and stability of the banking system
8/19/2024
Baghdad
The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the upcoming visit of the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, to New York will support the protection and stability of the banking system, while he pointed out that the file of the sanctioned banks requires negotiation due to the possibility of an error or exaggeration in issuing the decision to sanction them.
Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Central Bank is a strategic institution that works to support the value of the dinar and its stability, and to build balances in the Iraqi balance of payments, regularity of payments, and international reserves that support Iraq's foreign trade."
He added, "Due to the rentier nature of the economy, the Central Bank and its reserves have become the feeder and financier of foreign trade for the private sector."
He pointed out that "Iraqi oil sales are in dollars, and are deposited with the US Federal Reserve through an open account in the name of the Central Bank, which is managed by the bank on behalf of the Iraqi government."
He continued, "The upcoming visit of the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, to New York City in the United States of America comes to protect the Iraqi banking system and support its stability."
He explained that "the Central Bank, by virtue of its work and responsibility to maintain the financial system of Iraq, must negotiate with the American side regarding the file of the sanctioned banks to alleviate the severity of the deprivation on the banks, as there may be an error or exaggeration that was previously decided to be sanctioned by the American side," stressing that "there is insistence and communication from the Central Bank of Iraq in a good and positive way to protect the Iraqi banking system."
Earlier, the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "there will be meetings held with the Federal Bank and the US Treasury Department at the end of this August to review aspects related to external transfer operations and discuss sanctions on some banks."

LATEST FROM IRAQI BANK FRIEND AKI IN MICHIGAN BY WALKINGSTICK, 20 AUGUST

[Iraqi Bank friend Aki in Michigan]
The monetary reform is very solid. Things are looking good...What happened with the CBI governor, he's not going anywhere.
The government can't fire Alaq in the same way Maliki fired the governor of the CBI Dr. Shabibi.
Maliki had no authority, he had no right to fire Dr. Shabibi.
Dr. Shabibi went and worked with the US Treasury to make sure the monetary reform plan was completed...

Question presented to Aki - Concerning the statement that was made by a representative of the WTO
[about Iraq launching a fully convertible currency in October
AKI: I didn't hear anything about October...
WALKINGSTICK: I would call it scuttlebutt because the interpreter was telling me that he says he's not sure about that...but he knows there are rumors out there about when this is going to happen.
AKI: I did hear about the WTO guy. Maybe he's talking about a new currency that would be convertible prior to October but there is no mention at the banks about October being the date. If anything I have heard it is before that.
