 An Economist Calls On The Government To Support And Stimulate The Private Sector

 Economy| 05:58 - 03/17/2024  Mawazine News - Baghdad   The economic expert, Hassan Ismaik, today, Sunday, called on the government to support and stimulate the private sector in Iraq. 

In an interview with Mawazine News, Ismaik said, “There is a need to rehabilitate the government sector in order to stimulate growth in the private sector, which will  contribute to creating partnerships and  strategies with foreign direct investment in unexploited sectors such as  transportation,  tourism, and the  shift towards smart agriculture, as well as  Industrial and technological cities. 

He stressed "the necessity of shifting towards investing in quality of life and enabling Iraq to create a new digital environment."  He pointed out that

"there are many experts who link the reforms implemented by the Iraqi government headed by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, and  enabling the country to shift towards digitalization, as the solution to many of its crises, especially  corruption,  administrative slackness, and   poor service provision, and      encouraging investors and facilitating their work, which requires...

Firstly,  revitalizing and streamlining the public administrative apparatus.”  He pointed out that  "activating the public sector in Iraq must coincide with measures by which the government  supports the private sector,  increases the growth of its business, and  raises the level of partnership between it and the public sector."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=244063

"THE OLD IQD NOTES VS THE NEW IQD NOTES" BY FNU LNU, 19 MARCH

  Fnu Lnu  

 On the issue of Old Notes (circulated) versus New Notes (uncirculated) I can tell you this. The "Oil for Dinar" program is very real and those are called Private Placements. They require ONLY uncirculated notes to participate. 

Otherwise, if you aren't in such a Private Placement exchange then it doesn't matter at all. Also, new uncirculated notes of certain serial numbers are going to be used as Bonds. The new Dinar have all the info needed to be used as bonds and it was planned this way before the new notes were printed . They will be used on the unregulated trading platforms in Shanghai as part of certain trading packages.

There is no such thing.  A) The rule of One Price and B) There is no back side or private side to FOREX...With that being said: There are platforms in Shanghai and Singapore that are totally unregulated. 

It is the wild west of commodity trading and they create investment packages where they bundle up packages containing many different speculative investments into a bundle and trade those.  But that isn't happening now either though it was a thing with the IQD several years ago but not now..

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 22 MARCH

 Militia Man 

 If Al-Sudani says, the dinar hold on to it, it's going too be stronger than the dollar...$0.76 is not stronger than the dollar.  Add the real effective exchange rate and you can easily get over a dollar...

Oil is anywhere from $88 to $85 right now.  Add in the tax revenues and customs duties and fees at the borders, the tourism you got to see the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is not going to be at $0.76.  They're going to have to add that real effective exchange rate to it and that's probably...exactly why they haven't exposed it just yet.  It's a sensitive issue. 

 They need to keep it close to the chest... They can't go out and tell everyone on the street, 'Hey you know next week your exchange rate is going to be X.'  It doesn't work that way...Eventually they will expose it...
