Central Bank: Iraq Expands Foreign Transfers In New Currencies Other Than The Dollar
The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Thursday the expansion of foreign 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 limited to using them 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 foreign transfer channels provides transfer operations at the official price, and aims to streamline transfers 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." https://www.radionawa.com/all-detail.aspx?jimare=40666
WALKINGSTICK: WHEN CURRENCY AUCTIONS STOP THERE WILL BE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE IRAQI DINAR ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL !!!, 21 DEC

The IQD is being introduced to its basket members.
These foreign currencies that are coming in through the contracts, some of them, if not most of them, will be playing the part in the float of the Middle East basket.
Why is it that this basket is the next chapter in our study?
Because the CBI auctions are ending on December the 31st of this year and there will be no restrictions on the Iraqi dinar on an international level as it was before ...
This is article VIII compliance which allows them to stop the auctions...
Once the float increases the international value of the Iraqi dinar it will start to pair to these currencies in this basket and IMO it will quickly rise in value due to the demand that we are seeing right now.

From a friend in SoCal: 12/20/24
Went to WFB while I had in hand (One Note) 500,000VND asking for them to exchange it for me…….
Bank manager had HUGE SMILE on her face and flat out told me give it a few more days and get an appt to exchange it, you will be very-happy and if you have any Dinar bring that too….
