The dinar is stronger than the dollar.” The hypothesis that is absent from reality!, 5 NOV

 The dinar is stronger than the dollar.” The hypothesis that is absent from reality!

Everything has become higher because of the dollar, a dangerous trade recession that the country is experiencing, amid warnings of an economic slide that may lead to a worsening of the situation in the coming days.

According to experts, merchants affiliated with influential parties and entities are the only beneficiaries of the platform affiliated with the Central Bank,  and the government must come out immediately and be honest with the people about the truth of what is happening.

According to a simple calculation, the Central Bank sells an estimated two hundred thousand dollars daily, meaning that the daily profits of speculators are estimated at forty thousand dollars, bringing their monthly total to one million two hundred thousand dollars, which is equivalent to about two billion Iraqi dinars net for speculators per month.  link

 ...We can see many events in-line with January 2024.  I want to bring you up to date on my latest conversation with my CBI contact... It was told to me that the re-education campaign is still going forward but not yet rolled out as of yet. There is talk in the CBI it may be postponed due to the Gaza strip conflict, but no action or direction has been given to signify this as of yet...

 ...in the news is yet more de-dollarization efforts as they convert the remaining of the border crossing stations all to “all dinars” only for custom feesThe Parliamentary Finance Committee renewed on Tuesday, its support for the Central Bank’s measures to control the exchange rate and address any obstacles...

we learned that the new government of Al-Sudani made promises in his administrations curriculum to bring back the dinar stronger than the dollar. Is this why he has openly in public stated the dinar is already stronger than the dollar?  Well then…where is it?  As investors we wait for it.

 Articles:  "NEARLY TEN BILLION DOLLARS IN IRAQI OIL REVENUES LAST MONTH";   "IRAQ IS AMONG THE LARGEST ARAB COUNTRIES IN GOLD RESERVES... INTERNATIONAL STATISTICS DURING 2023"  Yes, and still the dinar is at 1/6 of a penny. 

How outrageous is this that they still continue to manipulate the dollar in Iraq. We will see what happens in January when the CBI has reported they plan to cut off all dollars for imports. The dollars will dry up. So get ready Iraq

By Investing In Black Oil...An Economic Expert Proposes A Solution To The Dollar Crisis In Iraq, 5 NOV

 By Investing In Black Oil...An Economic Expert Proposes A Solution To The Dollar Crisis In Iraq

Economy |Baghdad Today - Baghdad   After the dollar exchange rate crisis worsened, and the situation got out of control in the parallel market in light of the inability of the government and the central bank to contain the crisis, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi proposes a “solution through investing in black oil.”

During the past months, the dollar exchange rates witnessed a noticeable increase, exceeding 160 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, which ignited the market and raised the prices of food and other commodities, in light of merchants’ fears of the losses that may befall them as a result of this rise. 

Selling Black Oil 

Al-Marsoumi said today, Sunday (November 5, 2023), that “Iraq’s exports of black oil in 2022 amounted to more than 4 billion dollars.”

 The economic expert explained in a blog post followed by “Baghdad Today” that “Iraq can sell black oil in euros or Chinese yuan and use the amounts to settle commercial transactions with countries sanctioned by America, especially Iran.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “if this happens, the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market will decline significantly,” pointing out that “this must be preceded by an understanding with the US Federal Bank and obtaining its approval.”

Trade Exchange With Iran

Iraq's imports from Iran annually amount to approximately 10 billion dollars, which is equivalent to 16% of Iraq's total annual imports amounting to 60 billion dollars annually, according to economic estimates.

Iranian trade with Iraq is facing many difficulties, the most important of which is financing and the possibility of obtaining the dollar, especially with the implementation of the platform in the Central Bank of Iraq, which prevents financing trade and sending money to Iran for the purpose of import.

This led to merchants importing from Iran rushing to buy the dollar from the parallel market and bearing an additional cost as a result of the high prices there, and amid these many difficulties.

On (October 31, 2023), an Iranian official revealed a decline in his country’s various exports to Iraq for several reasons, including the difference in the dollar exchange rate.

The former Secretary of the Iranian-Iraqi Chamber of Commerce said in a press statement, “One dollar for an Iranian merchant is equivalent to 1,600 Iraqi dinars, while this number for businessmen from other countries is 1,300 dinars, which is equivalent to the official price of Iraq,” stressing that “this difference in the price that... “Up to 15% is acceptable for Iranian businessmen, but exceeding that will make things more difficult.”   LINK

The Dollar In Iraq Is Flying Due To Political Corruption And Security Escalation, 5 NOV

 The Dollar In Iraq Is Flying Due To Political Corruption And Security Escalation

November 4, 2023   Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: The price of the dollar is rising in Iraq, and the purchase price has reached more than 161 dinars for every 100 dollars.

For more than 8 months, and specifically since the Central Bank began operating the electronic platform and the international financial transfer system “SWIFT,” the dollar exchange rates in Iraq have not witnessed stability despite the attempts of the government and the Central Bank to control the exchange rate in the parallel (black) markets.

The Central Bank of Iraq decided earlier to adjust the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, as the price of buying the dollar from the Ministry of Finance reached 1,300 dinars per dollar and selling it at (1,310) dinars per dollar to banks through the electronic platform, and it is sold for (1,320) dinars per dollar. Dollars from banks and non-banking financial institutions to the final beneficiary.

The security escalation in Iraq is one of the most important political reasons behind the rise in the price of the dollar in the country. Since the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, the country has witnessed ongoing political and security conflicts, which led to the deterioration of the Iraqi economy and the decline in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar.

This year, threats between armed factions and American forces in Iraq led to the instability of the dollar exchange rate.

Political corruption is another reason that leads to the rise in the price of the dollar in Iraq. Political corruption in Iraq hinders economic development and leads to the leakage of money from the country, which weakens the value of the Iraqi dinar.

The weakness of government institutions is also one of the reasons leading to the rise in the price of the dollar in Iraq. Iraqi government institutions are weak and ineffective, which makes it difficult for the government to control the market and adjust the currency exchange rate.

The Iraqi economy depends heavily on oil, as oil represents about 90% of the country's exports. High oil prices lead to an increase in Iraqi oil revenues, which strengthens the value of the Iraqi dinar, while low oil prices lead to a decrease in Iraqi oil revenues, which weakens the value of the Iraqi dinar.

High inflation is one of the reasons that leads to an increase in the price of the dollar in Iraq. High inflation leads to an increase in demand for the dollar, which raises its value against the Iraqi dinar.

The demand for the dollar is one of the main reasons that leads to an increase in its price, as the dollar is the global reserve currency and is used in international trade and foreign investments, and increasing demand for the dollar leads to an increase in its value against other currencies.
