 In 2020, the Iraqi economy suffered from cumulative and complex challenges and repercussions due to the decline in international oil prices and the slowdown in growth in the global economy due to the effects and repercussions of the Corona pandemic.

In addition to Iraq’s suffering, its special circumstances, dispersal of policies, lack of planning, ambiguity and confusion in the methodological vision of managing the economy, which led the government to diagnose the requirements for overcoming that suffering by drawing its strategy for the next three and five years in the white paper. Since the Central Bank is primarily responsible for monetary policy and its applications that contribute to achieving economic stability and overcoming the challenges of instability in the financial system due to the lack of clarity in financial policies, one of the most important tasks of the Central Bank in these two years 2020 and 2021 at the local level was to restore balance in the market Stimulating the economy, revitalizing the economic cycle, and facing the repercussions of reducing the Iraqi dinar exchange rate on low-income groups.

In continuation of this approach, the meetings of the Governor, the banking delegation formed by the Central Bank, the Association of Banks and a number of heads of boards of directors of private banks continued over the past few days to discuss ways of banking cooperation between the Central Bank of Iraq, the Turkish Central Bank and the Turkish Licensing and Supervision Authority, which had previously been discussed in Baghdad in the presence of the Ambassador The Turkish and the regional managers of the Turkish banks operating in Iraq, which contributed to diagnosing the problems of the daily banking work of the branches of Turkish banks and the efforts of the Central Bank to overcome them and facilitate the work of Turkish banks operating in Iraq. Turkey’s meetings resulted in the following:-

1‐ The necessity of establishing a joint mechanism for cooperation with the Central Bank of Turkey to regulate the control, control and supervision of banking transactions for the broad commercial exchange between the two countries through the banking system.

2‐ The Central Bank expressed its readiness to overcome the observations and difficulties facing Turkish banks in Iraq and to provide them with flexibility and exceptions regarding the instructions issued by the bank in the field of foreign transfers and crude oil credits.

3- Opening channels of understanding and cooperation with Turkish banks to implement banking operations between the two countries.

4‐ Requesting the Turkish Central Bank to cooperate in facilitating the opening of branches of Iraqi banks in Turkey that are nominated by the Central Bank of Iraq, and to be treated in the same way we deal with their branches in Iraq.

The results of the meetings of the two delegations can be summarized by discussing the development of banking and financial relations, the development of banking relations between the two countries, support for the opening of branches of Iraqi banks in Turkey and the opening of mutual accounts, which contributes to the development of trade relations between the two countries on the basis of reciprocity.

Inviting the Turkish Central Bank to provide facilities to Iraqi banks to facilitate the settlement of the trade balance between the two countries and the transfer of funds belonging to Iraqis residing in Turkey.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Turkey praised the efforts made by the Central Bank of Iraq in developing the national economy, stressing that he is ready to open the doors of cooperation and facilitate banking operations between the two countries.

Economist: There is no relationship between the devaluation of the dinar and the central bank's retention of cash reserves

link  hmmmm really? so all the other people that said it does they are wrong? 

The expert in economic affairs, Raad Twij, confirmed: "The devaluation of the Iraqi dinar is not a reason for the Central Bank to maintain cash reserves."

Twig said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: “There have been increasing statements from Iraqi officials that the devaluation of the Iraqi dinar has worked to preserve the cash reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq, but in fact, from a practical point of view, there is no evidence for that relationship, and the real relationship is the correlation Between what is sold in the currency window of foreign currency and the price at which that currency is sold in the local currency.

He added: "The pressure caused by the demand for foreign exchange in the currency auction forced the decision makers to take a measure to raise the exchange rate as a result of the high marginal propensity to import and the marginal propensity to consume in Iraq by more than 0.9%.

The best foods ever to eat after the age of 50
Last update 11/27/2021 | 8:03 pm

A nutrition expert revealed the best food that can be eaten after reaching the age of 50, in which chronic symptoms appear, as a result of the accumulation of wrong eating habits during the first half of life.

Issa Kojawski, who has a master's degree in public health and dietetics, stresses that if you are 50 or older, the best eating habits to adopt to stave off these health problems are to fill your plate with anti-inflammatory foods at every meal, or "vegetarian foods." According to Eat This, Not That.

She noted that “colorful fruits and vegetables are full of polyphenols and antioxidants that repair and restore damaged cells.”

Esa Kojawski points out that an anti-inflammatory diet can alter the course of chronic diseases, and that the "number one food" to have at nearly every meal is dark leafy greens.

"Spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and dark green vegetables are nutrient-dense. Choose anything that's pigmented and deep in color like blueberries, beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsley and cilantro, and it's easy to incorporate into any meal," she said.

Anti-inflammatory foods support mental health

Anti-inflammatory foods are also important in maintaining good mental health as you age. "Many mental disorders can be a manifestation of deficiencies in B vitamins, folic acid, and vitamin D," explains Esa Kojawski.

"Without these nutrients, neurons will not function properly for key processes, and you may experience brain fog, anxiety, depression, and even dementia."

Another anti-inflammatory nutrient that people over 50 should eat is dietary fiber, which is essential for a healthy gut microbiome, says Issa Kojawski.
