  In Jordanian Dinar and Saudi Riyal..Iraq expands foreign transfers with new currencies

The Central Bank of Iraq announced, on Thursday, the expansion of external transfer channels for local banks, to include new currencies other than the dollar, namely: the Jordanian dinar and the Saudi riyal.

The bank also decided to allow Iraqi banks to finance trade with Turkey in euros, after it was previously restricted to use with European Union countries, in addition to transfers available in US dollars, Emirati dirhams, Chinese yuan and Indian rupees.

The bank explained in a statement today that "this step comes within its efforts to expand foreign trade financing options in various currencies and channels, and the bank has begun taking the necessary measures to meet banks' requests in these currencies."

The statement also indicated that "this expansion in the foreign transfer channels provides transfer operations at the official price, and aims to streamline the transfer and involve a greater number of banks in foreign transfer operations, and expand the horizons of economic cooperation between Iraq and other countries, especially in light of the bank's efforts to find other channels to meet the volume of demand for various foreign currencies according to Iraq's dealings with those countries."

The bank confirmed that "a smooth transition took place during 2024 from the electronic platform to directly approved correspondent banks, and thus the Central Bank achieved a fundamental transformation in line with international banking practices, and this transition is widely praised." link

TIDBITS FROM FRANK26, 19 DEC

 Do you think the Iraqi dinar has anything to do with Trump's changes for the Middle East?  What makes the world go round?  What makes the Iraqi dinar new exchange rate powerful? 

 Let's see, three hours after he became elected he calls Sudani and he sends a team over there to talk about...oil. 

 The banks that we communicate with are well prepared.  In fact for over two week they have been preparing for clients like you [Iraqi citizens] and me...Sudani is moving at a quick pace.  

All American banks and all CBI private banks are ready to make the successful transaction from the three zero notes to the new lower notes with the new exchange rate.  Iraqi banks have also been readied.

MNT GOAT: I am told by my CBI contact that this is the precursor to the Project to Delete the Zeros

EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ, 19 DEC

 EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ

MZ: Bond side is pretty quiet. Nothing on CMKX. 

MZ: I did speak with a redemption center/redeeming bank contact who said they are expecting to work this weekend. This was surprising……. He did not know if they are doing “year-end” stuff or something else. They were asked to bring laptops for some reason. Maybe some kind of training and they will be calling clients for wealth management or will it be redemption related? They do not know. 

MZ: Remember that redemption centers/redeeming banks are part of existing banks….and many people trained for our exchanges/redemptions work for those banks in Wealth management already. My contacts are trained by banks to exchange foreign currencies and they work in wealth management for the bank.
