DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: CBI Governor Ali Al-Alaq's Statement on Dollar Provision and Exchange Rates, 20 SEPT

CBI Governor Ali Al-Alaq's Statement on Dollar Provision and Exchange Rates

On September 20, 2024, Ali Al-Alaq, the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), reassured the public that the bank has mechanisms in place to guarantee the provision of dollars at the official rate for all legitimate activities and operations. 5

Financial Transfers and Exchange Rates

Auditable Transfers

Al-Alaq emphasized that all financial transfers are auditable and undergo a rigorous review process before implementation. 5 This ensures that operations are secure and controlled, providing dollars for commercial and personal channels, travelers, and other legitimate requests.

Exchange Rate Unrelated to Oil Prices

He clarified that the rise in exchange rates is not connected to the decline in oil prices. Iraq's foreign currency reserves are sufficient to defend the exchange rate, demonstrating the country's financial stability.  5

New Mechanisms for Dollar Provision

Enhanced Control Measures

The CBI has developed methods for each channel that secure dollar provision and exert significant control to verify the safety of operations prior to their execution. 5This includes a shift in external transfers, where audits now occur before transactions are carried out.

Official Exchange Rate Supports Foreign Trade

Al-Alaq highlighted that the official exchange rate supports foreign trade that meets the needs of citizens, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the volume of sales conducted by the CBI at the official rate.  5

Shift from US Dollar for Internal Transactions

In a significant move, the CBI announced that commercial lenders in Iraq must use domestic currency for internal transactions from January 2024. 6 This decision comes amidst a dollar shortage in the country, as tensions between the US and Iraqi governments have led to a growing shortfall.

CBI Governor: We have mechanisms in place to guarantee dollar provision and are closely monitored, 20 SEPT

 INA-  BAGHDAD

Ali Al-Alaq, the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), declared on Wednesday that all financial transfers are auditable, but he also pointed out that the increase in exchange rates is unrelated to the drop in oil prices.  

"The Central Bank provides dollars at the official rate for all commercial and personal channels, travellers, and all types of operations that represent legitimate activities, operations, and requests," Al-Alaq said to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

He emphasized the need to "focus on the amount of sale carried out by the Central Bank at the official rate and dollar seekers, whether they are traders, importers, individuals or travellers," noting that "any price outside the country is a price that only indicates abnormal operations that try to deviate from the official and legal system and the correct fundamentalist channels." 

"This is a major shift in external transfers where they were previously audited at a later stage and today all transfers are not carried out and are not implemented until after undergoing the audit process," he said, pointing out that "methods have been developed for each channel that secure the provision of dollars on the one hand and a very large amount of control to verify the safety of prior operations before their implementation."

"The decline in the price of oil has nothing to do with the rise in the exchange rate because Iraq has foreign currency reserves, which enables it to defend the exchange rate," he said.

FIREFLY : THE FIRST CURFEW IN IRAQ, FRANKS THINKS THAT IS DUE A NEW EXCHANGE RATE , 20 SEPT

  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

 FIREFLY:On November the 20th to the 21st we have a curfew for the very first census in the last 27 years.

  FRANK: ...It looks like Sudani ordered for this new census to occur for your HCL benefits as Iraqi citizens.  It seems to me the only reason he's doing it now is because you have a new exchange rate that they can work with.  If not...there wouldn't be a new census...as they determine the fair amount everyone is supposed to get.  This new census IMO screens that there is a new exchange rate...

FIREFLY: ALAQ SAD THAT AT THE END OF THIS YEAR THEY WILL IMPLEMENT THE INITIAL PLAN TO COMPLETE THE REFORMS FOR THE BANKING SYSTEM, 18 SEPT

 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   

FIREFLY:Alaq is on TV and he's singing like a bird with information.  

He's talking to us an awful lot every day about what they're going to do with this reform.  He gives speech about how much money is in the digital system already.  It's growing.  He said at the end of this year we will implement the initial plan to complete the reforms for the banking system... 

FRANK:  The digital information is one of the main key parts of the monetary reform.  It will allow your money to float freely not only inside of your country but outside...You are going to be internationally recognized.  This is extremely exciting.

 Central Bank: From now on, the dollar is subject to strict supervision

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced that all transfers are subject to auditing, noting that the decline in oil prices has nothing to do with the rise in the exchange rate.

Al-Alaq said in a press comment, “The Central Bank provides the dollar at the official price to all commercial and personal channels, travelers, and all types of operations that represent legitimate activities, operations, and requests.”

He explained, "Any price outside the country is a price that only indicates the presence of abnormal operations that are trying to get out of the official and legal system and the correct fundamental channels."

He stressed the importance of focusing on the amount of sales made by the Central Bank at the official price and those seeking the dollar, whether they are traders, importers, individuals or travelers. He explained that “the decline in the price of oil has nothing to do with the rise in the exchange rate.” link

 EXCERPTS OF MARKZ CC NOTES ON SEPT 19

Member: Does anybody think the RV could happen before the election?

MZ: I still think it could. The world needs this badly. What do you all think?

Member: I do not think it will……This election season is too volatile….I am digging in to wait.

Member: I think RV before, Nesara after!

Member: The 27th is a targeted day for something BIG. I believe it will all be before the end of this month

Member: I think we will see it in the next 10 days

MZ: 90% of my sources agree with you.

Member: I’m watching Oct 1st, for the new fiscal year

Member: I personally think it's done. All in the timing. Before the end of the year for sure.

Member: I have a feeling it could be anyday

MZ: I have that same feeling.

Member: Doesn’t the new currency and a new gold backed system have to happen first????

Member: The system is broken. Once a vase is cracked it never holds water. We need a restart; an overhaul and an ethical cleaning

Member: Sadly it will go when whoever is in charge is ready. What happens to the ones on the front lines ( us people) are over looked. Sadly so many are struggling and suffering.

Member: Any money moving yet Mark?

MZ: Yes. But I can’t make heads or tails out of what it means for us timing wise. But some money has absolutely been moving. We have been able to track it. It’s just not playing out the way that we thought it would…But we are definitely seeing real money in real people’s hands.

Member: Wait bonds have been paid??? Cash in hand???

MZ: We do have a facilitator get some money. But the big bond news we were expecting since last evening has not happened yet. Many bond holders have finished final paperwork and expect their funds on Saturday now.

MZ: I know there are a lot of others who say its happening today or tonight….But, I cannot find anyone on my banking crew who agrees with that. But they do believe its close.

IRAQI BANKS GO INTERNATIONAL
