After The Electronic Platform Stopped...An Answer To Questions From Iraqi Circles About The New Dollar Mechanism, 5 jan

 After The Electronic Platform Stopped...An Answer To Questions From Iraqi Circles About The New Dollar Mechanism

Economy   2025-01-02 | 4,898 views  citizens asked Many Iraqi questions about the new mechanism for trading the dollar in Iraq and the method of withdrawing or buying it after the official cessation of the electronic platform.

 Governor of the Central Bank, Ammar Khalaf, said Deputy yesterday,   “The working mechanism of the electronic platform related to foreign transfers has stopped working on it, but   financing foreign trade continues through correspondent banks according to various mechanisms that are equivalent to what is done in countries of the world.”

Many citizens asked about the platform’s news, which Alsumaria News published on Facebook, about the

      electronic platform and its work,

     what will happen to the dollar, and

     whether Iraq will witness a new rise in currency exchange rates.

 One of the citizens said through the comment feature:

 “What is the purpose of the electronic platform? Can someone explain,” while another responded by saying, “The siege will return to Iraq and the exchange rate will be at least 250 thousand Iraqi dinars for 100 dollars.”

 Another wondered about "the continued arrival of foreign remittances to Iraq and the giving of currency to travelers," while another pointed out that "unemployment will return, food prices will double 4 times above normal, and famine will return to Iraq."

 Others praised the decision to stop the electronic platform, considering it “an effective government achievement that will benefit one after another and a transformation process that enhances the economic role and prepares for investment opportunities with full confidence, and that the

 government is playing a supervisory role over markets and money exchanges, and  the dinar is dealt with only to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar.”

 Another pointed out that “the platform was a front for stealing the dollar, and  therefore imposing censorship through the financial transfer through the bank will contribute to balancing the market and controlling the rise of the dollar,” and another supported him by saying that “this step may have several reasons, such as:

 1- Controlling the dollar exchange rate: An attempt to stabilize the price of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar by limiting the flow of the dollar. uncontrolled

 2- Preventing dollar smuggling: If there are indications that the dollar is being used in smuggling operations or that there is an inflation in demand for it due to illegal purposes.

 3- Strengthening the local economy: Reducing dependence on the dollar and supporting the local currency by reducing the circulation of the dollar in the markets.

Possible Outcomes:

 Dollar prices rise on the black market if there are no alternatives to meet demand.

 Impact on merchants and companies that depend on the dollar for imports, which may lead to higher prices for imported goods.

 Tightening financial oversight to try to prevent fraud and circumvention of policies. Therefore, the effects will depend on the way this decision is implemented and the extent to which there are alternative plans to provide dollars to the commercial and service sector.” It should be noted that

"Travelers' dollar"

  “the Central Bank clarified that granting dollars to travelers continues at airports according to the approved mechanism, which is considered the best in restricting the traveler’s access to dollars,” noting that

 “this decision is part of a series of reforms aimed at facilitating financial procedures and stimulating the economy.”

 What Is The “Electronic Platform”

 The electronic platform for money transfers is a mechanism that has been adopted to

ensure the regulation of foreign cash transfers and

     limit manipulation of exchange rates.

 It works to document

     commercial operations and the

     transfer of funds by banks and financial companies,

 ensuring more effective control over hard currency flows inside and outside the country.

Expert: Jordanian and Gulf banks control the Iraqi banking sector and push it towards collapse, 5 JAN

 Expert: Jordanian and Gulf banks control the Iraqi banking sector and push it towards collapse

 / Special..
Economic expert Mustafa Akram Hantoush confirmed today, Saturday, that the banking system is going through a major crisis, pointing out that the Gulf and Jordanian banks have come to control the cash and dollar sector inside Iraq.

Hantoush said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The Iraqi banking system is almost non-existent at the present time, as four or five Gulf and Jordanian banks control the movement of money.”

He added that “four Jordanian banks submitted applications to enter the Iraqi market, two of which succeeded in operating, while two others, namely Al-Ittihad and Al-Iskan, are still under study.”

He explaine d that “this situation reinforces the dominance of these banks over the dollar, while local banks are now facing major challenges, as some of them remain in the market, while others are forced to seek agreements with Jordanian and Gulf banks in order to continue operating,” adding that “those who do not succeed in reaching agreements with these banks will move towards merging or exiting the market.”

He pointed out that “the banking system was previously suffering from a weak structure, and today it is in a state of complete collapse,” stressing that “it has become very difficult to obtain loans in Iraq easily, and whoever succeeds in doing so needs relationships and mediation, which reflects the state of stagnation and paralysis in the Iraqi banking system.”

It is noteworthy that the United States imposed sanctions on 34 Iraqi banks in an attempt to restrict the Iraqi economy, which opens the way for five Jordanian and Gulf banks to enter the Iraqi market, with the aim of completely controlling the economy amid the silence of the Iraqi government.
