Iraq Reopens Border Crossing with Syria
BasNews 02/10/2019 - 00:23 Published in Iraq
Iraq reopened on Monday the border crossing of al-Qaim with Syria, years after the closure of the border gate due to instability in the region.
The reopening was believed to be part of a progress in the ties between Iraq and Syria and the resumption of trade movement and traveling through the border crossing.
The gate was closed after it was attacked by the Islamic State (IS) back in 2014.
The head of the border crossing authority said earlier that the reopening of the border crossing is reportedly to further strengthen the relations between Baghdad and Damascus, while developing trade and exchange of goods.
Some US reports noted that Iran may have pushed Iraq to reopen the gate in hopes of finding a way to handle the sanctions imposed on Tehran by Washington.

Fell to the lowest level in 9 years .. What do you know about the size of the global reserves of the dollar?
12:09 - 02/10/2019
The dollar's share of global currency reserves reported to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the second quarter fell to its lowest level since the end of 2013, while the yen's share rose to its highest level in nearly 20 years, data published on Monday showed.
Reserves in US dollars amounted to $ 6.79 trillion, equivalent to 61.63% of total reserves allocated in the second quarter, compared with $ 6.74 trillion or 61.83% in the first quarter.
This is the lowest share of dollar reserves in total since the fourth quarter of 2013, when it stood at 61.27%.
Total reserves increased to $ 11.02 trillion in the second quarter from $ 10.90 trillion in the previous quarter.
Global reserves are assets held by banks in different currencies, mainly used to support their liabilities. Central banks sometimes use reserves to support their currencies.
While the dollar's share of foreign exchange reserves declined, the share of the euro, yen and Chinese yuan increased compared to the previous quarter.
The dollar remains the dominant reserve currency, but central banks around the world appear to continue to diversify their reserves rather than just the dollar.
The yen's share of global currency reserves increased to 5.41% in the second quarter of 2019, the highest since the first quarter of 2001.
The yuan's share also rose to 1.97%, its highest level since the IMF began announcing its share of central bank holdings in the fourth quarter of 2016.

10-2-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Iraq's Parliament announced today the 2020 budget will be submitted around middle of October for review/voting. So we'll get a good indication what they finally concluded the deficit will be. Expectations are as high as $70 billion as they attempt to launch a private sector.
10-1-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...the Iraqi dinar is live on NASDAQ and Forex and a lot of currency counters...If it's on NASDAQ does it have a different rate to it? No. I told you yesterday they can come to NASDAQ with a program rate...it is now going to be on the international boards trading...the dinar is now playing with the big boys and big boys don't play with program rates...
10-1-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf It is totally irrelevant how much currency is held where, the only significant figure is the liability on the CBI that appears in their accounts. At the end of August that figure stood at over 48 trillion dinar and the IMF projection takes that figure to nearly 60 trillion over the next 5 years...
10-1-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I want to point out to critical events between now and the end of the year. One is the vote through Parliament on Special Grades, the other being the 2020 budget which the supposed to include the launching of the market economy. Iraq is at a critical stage right now not only with an abundance of laws that still need to be passed, but they are in dire need to lure private investors in to rebuild. [post 2 of 2]
10-1-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The Iraq government is striving to create a market economy with private investment. Doing so would bring substantial money into the country. This would create inflationary pressure on the financial system, the solution is to float the currency to relieve that pressure. It also would allow the CBI to profit by controlling the currency, buying and selling making commissions. Any kind of RV would circumvent those tools. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

They are punishable by law, threatening public order and civil peace, and deliberately inflicting casualties on innocent demonstrators and on our security forces who have been attacked by knives or burned by hand grenades.
Here, we salute the heroes of our armed forces who have shown a high degree of responsibility, restraint and adherence to the rules of protection of the demonstrators, as well as peaceful demonstrators who refused to be dragged into sabotage and respected law and order.
While we are saddened and heartfelt by the casualties among our protesting children and the security forces and the destruction and looting of public and private property like today, we immediately began a professional investigation to determine the causes of the incidents.
We had formed earlier committees to receive all the popular demands and work to meet them in accordance with the law, and these committees will continue to work seriously.
We ask Al-Bari to be able to grant all the injured a speedy recovery and those who have died in compassion and condolences ourselves first and condolences their generous families.
