IMPORTANT IRAQ NEWS: BAGHDAD REACHES AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE DOHA STOCK EXCHANGE BY MNT GOAT, 17 OCT
BAGHDAD REACHES AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE DOHA STOCK EXCHANGE
Baghdad reaches an understanding with the Doha Stock Exchange: Iraqi shares will be able to be traded in Qatar as well. We will not wait for companies, we will act
The Iraqi Securities Commission revealed a project with the Qatar Stock Exchange that will allow for the joint establishment of companies, leading to “dual listing” that will allow the listing of Iraqi shares in both the Iraqi and Qatari markets.
The commission member, Wadah Al-Taha, said that it will not wait for major and promising companies to list their shares on the Iraqi Stock Exchange, but will form a committee to encourage those companies. He pointed out that expanding the Iraqi Stock Exchange requires the listing of government sector companies on the stock exchange.
Waddah Al-Taha – Member of the Board of the Securities Commission, in an interview with the media figure, Dhikrayat Muhammad:
Expanding the work of the Iraq Stock Exchange requires restructuring mixed companies, through the government sector relinquishing its shares and listing and offering them for investment, while we work on listing public government companies.
Usually, stock markets around the world represent a mirror of a country’s economy, but in Iraq, the stock market does not reflect the economy, for several reasons, including the weakness of the investment culture, the decline in government support and understanding, in addition to the fact that the importance of listing and initial public offerings is unclear to private sector companies.
We seek to “deepen” the Iraqi Stock Exchange, meaning diversify its sectors participating in the subscription, with the aim of reducing the ceiling of investment risks and creating relative attractiveness for investors. We are currently working on merging our governance draft with the draft of the International Finance Corporation to give a global character to our investment environment and send reassuring messages to foreign investors.
Instead of waiting for promising emerging companies to come to the Iraqi market for listing, we are currently working on forming a specialized committee to move towards such companies and reach an understanding with them in order to list their shares in the market. The criteria for selecting the targeted companies revolve around performance, financial efficiency, company history, sector quality, and management nature.
We have a memorandum of understanding with the Qatari side, and we hope to approve it during the coming period. It has very good content, as it allows us to establish companies jointly, and we aspire to reach the stage of “dual listing” where the Iraqi stock can trade in the Iraqi and Qatari markets, in addition to applying the regulatory standards in effect there.
We apply a high level of “global standard” procedures in terms of combating money laundering. The market is very safe in this regard. Our standards are sometimes harsh and restrictive for investors, but they ensure that there are no illegal financial activities.
"THE PROJECT TO DELETE THE ZEROS HAS BEGUN" BY MNT GOAT, 16 OCT

https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2024/10/trade-bank-of-iraq-announces-imminent.html
This article is yet another sign this is happening and will progress further as the weeks and months roll on. Why else would they set up bank branches for the sole purpose of taking in cash only? There must be a lot of it coming in. The CBI will have to retrieve close to 70 trillion dinars.
After talking to my CBI contact about this article I was told that this process is part of the Project to Delete the Zeros and her committee is now working with the banks to retrieve this hard currency.
They expect it mostly in dinars not dollars. The dollars the citizens can sell to the Black Market and get higher rates than the official rate. But it is the dinars the CBI wants.
The important part is coming to you today to explain all this is that the Project to Delete the Zeros has begun.
But we must not go off half cocked yet. Let’s just watch the steps that must be accomplished for the project to be successful. Remember there are the steps to this process and I outlined them in my blog. Did you have a chance to read it yet? Please go and review it.
If you really want to know the TRUTH about this RV you must first be grounded in the plan, know the FACTS and know what to expect and what is coming. Then guage the news to the plan to see where we stand in the process. This is the ONLY way you get around all these stupid intel guru rumors and lies...TO BE CONTINUED
IMPORTANT IRAQ NEWS: PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE: NON-OIL BUDGET REVENUES WILL REACH 30 TRILLION DINARS NEXT YEAR BY MNT GOAT, 16 OCT
PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE: NON-OIL BUDGET REVENUES WILL REACH 30 TRILLION DINARS NEXT YEAR
The Parliamentary Finance Committee expected, on Sunday, that non-oil revenuesin the 2025 budget would reach 30 trillion dinars, represented by electricity collection, taxes, and revenues from the Baghdad Municipality and all municipal departments.
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, told Shafaq News Agency, “The Parliamentary Finance Committee held a meeting today, in which it hosted the Minister of Finance, Taif Sami, the heads of the tax and customs authorities, and the general managers of the Ministry of Finance, to discuss the general budget law and oil and non-oil financial revenues.”
He added, “Oil revenues are settled, but as for non-oil revenues, it has been emphasized that government departments should be activated, including electricity in the field of collection, the Baghdad Municipality, and other municipal departments, in addition to the services provided to tax committees, border crossing revenues, customs, and others that would increase non-oil revenues.”
He explained that “the activation of non-oil revenues was mentioned in the government program but was not implemented. What is expected in 2025 is that oil revenues will be 120 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues will be 30 trillion dinars, which includes customs revenues, taxes, electricity collection, and services provided by the government.”
(Iraq’s non-oil revenues are getting closer and closer to rival the oil-revenues. It now about 1/4th and growing strong… there are programs not even yet implemented that will shoot up this amount very soon.)
STATUS OF THE RV BY MNT GOAT, 17 OCT
STATUS OF THE RV
I have to start off with my commentary today with some really good news, actually some WOW! WOW! WOW! news. I know WOW again. Is this getting boring yet? I hope not because there is much, much more to come in the near future.
😊 As usual I want to begin the news today with what I feel is one of the most important articles. In fact, I would definitely call it a “WOW!” article. The title is “TRADE BANK OF IRAQ ANNOUNCES THE IMMINENT OPENING OF A CASH DEPOSIT CENTER IN KARKH”
So why am I excited today when I read this article?
The article is telling us that the Trade Bank of Iraq announced on Monday, the imminent opening of the cash deposit center in the Karkh side. What is a “Cash Deposit Center”? And most importantly why establish these centers, which this one will not be the last.
The opening of this center is imminent based on the directives of the respected Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.
It was explained in the article that this center receives all cash deposits only for all customers,” indicating that “this is a new service that the bank will launch with the aim of providing the best services to customers, and to contribute to reducing the pressure of cash deposits on its other branches in Baghdad.”
Oh…. So where is all this cash coming from and why a sudden surge in citizens bringing cash to the bank?
But this cash center is not alone in receiving these cash deposits. It is only taking the pressure off the overwhelmed other banking institutions. Yes, this is really happening in Iraq and I have FULL confirmation it is now ongoing.
Remember I told you, and we read articles to prove it too, that the CBI needs to shrink the monetary mass by two-thirds (2/3).
How can they do this if the citizens didn’t trust the banks. Well now with the electronic banking effort and the transition to the digital banking it appears they are now beginning to bring in their hard currency to the banks for deposit.
The banks need some of this money for liquidity to loan out. Remember it all just becomes digits for now until they issue a smaller percentage of it in the newer lower denominations.
This article is yet another sign this is happening and will progress further as the weeks and months roll on. Why else would they set up bank branches for the sole purpose of taking in cash only? There must be a lot of it coming in. The CBI will have to retrieve close to 70 trillion dinars.
