Parliamentary Finance: The "White Paper" proposal to replace the currency requires a lot of money

link

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed on Monday that the "white paper" submitted by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi includes the proposal to replace the currency, noting that this proposal requires a lot of funds to implement it.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi said in June that the government had prepared a "white paper" for the reforms. According to the document, the proposed implementation period is three years from 2021 to 2023.

"The reform paper to address the financial crisis presented by the House of Representatives includes a review of the exchange rate and the possibility of proceeding with the removal of zeros, while adjusting the mechanism for selling the currency and maintaining the hard currency and the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar," committee rapporteur Ahmed Al-Saffar told The Twilight News.

"The implementation of this proposal requires better economic possibility and conditions than the current situation with liquidity for the application," he said, adding that "currency replacement requires a lot of money to print the currency abroad."

Oil expert: Baghdad's interest with OPEC. And the Gulf states against the damage to Iraq

Oil expert: Baghdad's interest with OPEC. And the Gulf states against the damage to Iraq


Oil expert Hamza al-Jawahiri said Monday that Iraq's interest sits in compliance with OPEC resolutions, adding that the Gulf states are against causing harm to Iraq.


"Iraq is very committed to OPEC's decisions, regardless of whether it is affected by the commitment to this mechanism," al-Jawahiri told The Shafq News agency.


"All OPEC countries have financial resources other than oil and are able to manage their economy without any problems, but only Iraq is 100 percent dependent on oil resources and has financial problems as a result," he said.


"Iraq has asked OPEC more than once to take into account its financial circumstances as a result of low oil prices, and the United States of America intervened on behalf of Iraq and demanded that Saudi Arabia take into account Iraq's financial circumstances," al-Jawaheri said.


"It is in OPEC's interest to extend production cuts during their meeting today and tuesday because of the failure to end the Corona pandemic, which has affected the economies of the world," he said.

Opec is considering extending oil production cuts for three months at its scheduled meeting on Monday

In April, OPEC reached an agreement to reduce oil supplies for two years, with the aim of controlling oil markets, whose prices collapsed due to declining demand in the new Coronavirus pandemic, which reduced production by 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in May and June, with a total reduction of 7.7 million barrels per day in the second half of the year.


Iraq has already violated its commitment to reduce production and then pledges to reduce production by one million barrels per day, or one percent of world supplies.


Iraq is the second largest crude producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which usually exports about 3.5 million barrels per day.


It is worth mentioning that Iraq is suffering from a severe financial crisis as a result of the fall in oil prices globally, which constitutes 90% of Iraq's general budget, and therefore the Ministry of Finance found itself unable to pay the salaries of employees during the current year, which prompted it to borrow, while later claimed that it was unable to pay the salaries of employees for the remaining months of the current year without borrowing either.

US Bank News...

• Some banks are "ON EXCHANGE LOCATION" today........waiting for the "GO" signal! (Except Texas, more than likely)

• Various rates for different currencies are being communicated to us......supposedly at the banks discretion? Have your "Game On" when you go in to exchange. 


11-30-2020   Newshound Guru  Breitling   ...People keep forgetting - the currency [Iraqi dinar] is undervalued.  They devalued the currency.  That's not a market rate.  They kept printing the currency.  They even said that they were going to do that.  And they did that.  So when they say they want to add value to the currency, I believe them because they followed through on everything... they are going to add value to their currency.
11-29-2020   Intel Guru RayRen98   WELL, BANKS WERE STAFFED TODAY AT THEIR RESPECTIVE EXCHANGE CENTERS...WAITING... LOOKING... ANTICIPATING...THE INEVITABLE.

11-29-2020   Intel Guru Austin Powers-For-PM
   Article:  "The Iraqi government announces a positive development regarding the 2021 budget"   Quote:  “The seriousness of the Iraqi government in sending the draft budget bill for 2021 to the Iraqi parliament this week.  It sounds like they are seriously "On the clock".

11-29-2020   Newshound Guru Jeff   This week is when Iraq finally came forward talking about how they really need to do something with the exchange rate.  They just starting this roughly since last weekend.  It's a new patter for about a week now.   Article:   "Parliamentary Finance issues a package of reforms that include imposing a value-added tax and reviewing the dollar exchange rate"   Here they're talking about deleting the zeros, doing something with the exchange rate and implementing taxes.  Notice how this type information did not come forward until Iraq finished the borrowing law.  Remember I stressed to you the borrowing law was the last step needed before they could change their rate?  There you go.  Now they can change the rate at any point in time.  But they have to do it by the end of March...we're in a great spot right now...

11-29-2020   Newshound Guru  Breitling  ...So what does Iraq have to do under a Biden administration?  What do they want to do They want to add value to their currency...Trump's plan...is more of a long term steady outlook...Short term - if Biden gets in it's going to be very very good for us.  Long term if Trump gets in then Iraq is going to be part of our market and guess what?  It's a longer road with a higher rate.   [Post 2 of 2]

11-29-2020   Newshound Guru  Breitling  ...You can't worry about what you can't control...You have a plan for if Trump is going to be in office and you have a plan for if Biden is going to be in office...it doesn't matter who is president.  The thing that disturbs me most about this stuff is the gloom and doom talk.  "If this guy get's in it's all over." "If THIS guy gets in it's all over."  None of it's true.  Never has been.  Never will be...   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Deputy: Investigation committees are a governmental means of procrastination

11/29/2020 19:13 •
[Baghdad_Where]
MP for the coalition of Iraqis, Hassan, supported, on Sunday, the investigative committees formed by the government as a means of covering up the matter to be silent about.
"The successive governments in Iraq have flooded the country with investigative committees, and we did not hear and did not inform the public opinion of their results," he said.

He added that "the investigative committees have become a method used by the government when it wants to silence or cover up a specific event for which an investigative committee is formed to procrastinate the event," noting that "the citizen has reached a complete conviction that the investigation committees is a procrastination measure, which causes the committees to lose confidence."

He ruled out supporting "the investigative committees that formed the problem with any result or accountability for a failure to prove his guilt."

Successive governments have formed hundreds of investigative committees in cases of murder, assassination and corruption cases that have shaken the state's pillars, perhaps the most prominent of which are the investigation committee into the fall of Mosul, the investigation committee into the Speicher massacre, and the assassination committee of the victory leaders, whose results have not yet been announced.
