Start "drying" Liquidity from the hands of the Iraqis.. Destruction of “surplus” Currency and bank deposits are historically the highest

The video for this blog post is below:

Over the past years, all of the economic problems in Iraq internally, whether with regard to corruption, the dollar, high real estate prices, etc., as well as inflation, were directly linked to the high volume of liquidity and the printing of money by the Central Bank, as well as the high volume of cash liquidity. In the hands of the street, citizens or capital owners, away from Iraqi banks.
 
Recently, trends and numbers indicate that a reverse process has begun to take place in Iraq, which consists of reducing cash and getting rid of “surplus printed money” without printing new money in front of it, and increasing banks’ possession of this liquidity instead of leaving it in the hands of the street and citizens, where it can be said that the government and the banking sector And finance in general in Iraq began to “nibble” the existing liquidity and “dry it out” from the hands of the people.
 

In a special review conducted by Al-Sumaria News, it becomes clear that the currency printed or issued in Iraq until February 2024 is the lowest in 8 months, that is, since May 2023, as the currency printed in Iraq reached 99.2 trillion dinars, and the highest historical level reached by the printed currency was recorded. In November 2023, it amounted to 102.6 trillion dinars.

This approach represents getting rid of the currency and not only stopping its printing, but also “destroying it.” This matter does not seem “absurd,” but rather it is an approach committed by Iraq to reform liquidity management and with recommendations from the International Monetary Fund, which, in its statement last February, praised “ Efforts made by the Central Bank of Iraq aimed at getting rid of excess liquidity!

While the currency printed until February 2024 is the lowest in 8 months, there is a “historical” record corresponding to it, as the data reviewed by Al-Sumaria News show that until January 2024, the currency in banks amounted to 9.1 trillion dinars, and this number is the highest ever in history. Banks after it ranged between 6, 7 and 8 trillion over the past months and years.

The expected effects of this trend are not known, but specialists believe that the data will continue in one direction, which is to reduce printed cash and liquidity, and the banks’ attempt to hold on to liquidity and not leave it in the hands of citizens, and all of these indicators will ultimately lead to reducing inflation in general and reducing the “enormous” purchasing power of groups. Great Iraqi.

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the World Bank plays a positive and supportive role for the Iraqi economy, and its team in Baghdad represents the advisory arm for the government program.


Saleh said to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The World Bank Group in Iraq launched its new relationship with our country in accordance with what was stipulated in UN Security Council Resolution 1483 in May 2003, and it is undertaking the task of mobilizing financial and technical assistance to support Iraq’s efforts to restore confidence in the economy, build its foundations, and mitigate... of its debt burdens in concert with the International Monetary Fund.
He added, "After years of wars and conflicts that affected the country's infrastructure since the 1980s and Iraq's severance and isolation from the world and multilateral international organizations, the bank contributed by taking its active role after the year 2003, especially in managing a number of development financing funds for the benefit of our country's economy."

He continued, "This was done by managing the funds provided by donor countries to Iraq under the Madrid Donors Conference held in October 2003, or by contributing to supporting the private sector through the role assumed by the International Finance Agency (IFC) as one of the arms of the World Bank Group active with the private sector." As well as through the Bank’s role in supporting some aspects of development and facilitating ways of stabilizing our economy, including providing soft loans provided by the World Bank to support the national economy on various occasions during the last twenty years, specifically during the dual financial and security crisis to confront the ISIS terrorist gangs and the decline in oil prices after... The year 2014.”

He added, "The World Bank also played a role in improving the governance of economic life and rebuilding the requirements of a more powerful and modern digital and development era for the benefit of our country in many areas, in addition to contributing to rebuilding livelihoods by enabling social welfare programs and providing them with plans and programs that address issues of combating poverty." 

He pointed out, "The World Bank works closely with international partners to support economic reforms, specifically in the financial, banking, and public finance sectors."

Saleh continued, “The World Bank today is not only a financing institution, but rather a bank that provides knowledge and its tools based on its accumulated experience that has reached nearly eighty years. Since its founding in 1945, Iraq was at the forefront of the founding countries of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, and this is how the bank is viewed.” The International Bank is currently considered an “information and knowledge bank.”

He continued, "The World Bank team working in Iraq serves as the advisory arm for the current government program, and the reform foundations currently adopted in the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, specifically in the field of reform, whether in governance and reform of public sector institutions, market institutions, and government financing systems in accordance with best practices."

The representative of the Progress Party, Yahya Al-Ithawi, said in a statement to the program “Under Two Lines” broadcast by Al-Iraqiya News and followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that “the presidency of the House of Representatives belongs to the Sunni component, and it belongs to a party that advanced due to its results in the elections and political agreements, but there are some blocs.” "You are trying to jump on political entitlements."
He added, "Delaying the election of the House of Representatives will put us in front of new labyrinths and paralyze Parliament," calling for "accelerating the election of a new Speaker of Parliament."

He pointed out that "there is talk among the political forces about changing the election law, but it has not been seriously presented in Parliament, and there are no signs of that," stressing that "the Taqadum Party has no intention of changing the election law."
Meanwhile, the representative of the Sadiqoun Movement, Uday Awad, said in a statement to the “Under Two Lines” program, “The maze that we entered into was caused by the dispute over the decision of the position of Speaker of Parliament, even though it is an issue specific to the Sunni component, so we hope that there will be consensus after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.”

Awad spoke about the budget tables, saying: “The tripartite budget tables will reach the House of Representatives after Eid Al-Fitr.”
Independent MP Adnan Al-Jabri, in a statement to “Taht Khatin”, spoke about the provincial council elections, saying: “The government succeeded in holding the provincial council elections,” indicating that “these elections clarified the features of the upcoming alliances.”

The head of the Ataa Movement, Khaled Kabayan, confirmed in a statement to “Tahhat Khatin” that “the government succeeded in holding the governorate council elections, and there are secret understandings about the presidency of Parliament, but so far they have not been decided,” hoping for an expedited resolution of this issue after Eid al-Fitr.




When will Iraq get rid of the restrictions of “Uncle Sam”.. Washington shackles Iraq to the federation and a “BRICS” bomb is coming

link

Popular and political calls are escalating to end the American hegemony it imposes on the Iraqi economy by enforcing the deposit of funds from the sale of crude oil in the Federal Bank on the one hand, and continuing the dollar crisis through sanctions issued on banks, which have reached more than 30 banks.

The first stage of getting rid of the restrictions imposed on Iraq is to strive to achieve two basic points, the first of which is to end the deposit of money in the Federal Bank and send it directly to the Central Bank. The second is to seek to join the BRICS countries that will issue a currency that will be like an atomic bomb for Uncle Sam’s currency. . 

*Editing step!

Speaking about this file, a member of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Ali Hussein, calls on the government to seek alternatives and take the step of liberating the country from the dominance of the dollar and the continuing American sanctions, while stressing that Iraq’s move towards lifting the restrictions of the US Federal Bank is a must. 

Hussein said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “It will be a bold step, but it will succeed if the atmosphere is created and contracts are made with alternative international banks,” noting that “it is necessary to bring in companies from international countries that do not deal in the US dollar.” 

He continues, "Entering into the Shanghai system and other global organizations will be the first stage of liberation from the dollar," adding that "the movement to end the dollar's hegemony over the world, led by major countries, has greatly succeeded." 

He adds, "Contracting from companies from Eastern countries and bringing them to work inside Iraq will avoid the economic blockade," pointing out that "the government is required to seek to find alternatives and take the step of liberating the country from the dominance of the dollar and American sanctions." 

The economic expert, Nasser Al-Kanani, confirmed that the number of Iraqi banks affected by US sanctions has reached 26 banks so far. 

*End American hegemony!

In addition, a member of the Nebna Alliance, Ali Al-Zubaidi, confirms that ending American economic hegemony lies in the government’s move towards ending the deposit of oil selling money in the Federal Bank, adding that it will enable the government to choose the currency in which it is sold.

Al-Zubaidi said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “Freedom from the restrictions of the dollar will give confidence to the Iraqi currency, in addition to tighter control over the economic movement,” noting that “the main problem is imposing the deposit of oil money in the American bank.”

He continues, "The number of members of the BRICS system has reached approximately 30 countries, and this constitutes a threat to the US dollar in itself," pointing out that "its new currency will be circulated in all these countries that constitute a large part of the global economy."

Al-Zubaidi concluded his speech: “Washington’s hegemony will not last long in light of the global estimates of economists,” noting that “the end of American economic hegemony lies in the government’s move towards ending the deposit of funds for selling crude oil in the Federal Bank.”

The United States of America continues to impose its influence on Iraq in many vital files, including depositing the money from the sale of Iraqi oil in the US Federal Bank, amid clear blackmail by passing many files, most notably the dollar bill, which puts great pressure on the government.


Challenges of visiting Washington: Al-Sudani faces pressure from an American Kurdish lobby

link

Political tensions and pressures are increasing in Iraq, as reports indicate intense activity by a Kurdish lobby in Washington, aiming to influence the federal government in Baghdad.

This lobby enjoys funding from the Kurdistan Regional Government, and seeks to use American influence to pressure the Iraqi government regarding outstanding issues, including the issues of salaries and oil.

The visit of Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani to Washington raises new tensions, as the Kurdish lobby is trying to exploit this visit to its advantage, while al-Sudani is trying to strengthen its external support to strengthen its authority at home.

As pressure mounts, Sudan's government faces significant challenges, including confronting alliances allied with Iran and the potential for military escalation against US forces in Iraq.

Messages from within the US Congress raise serious concern about the invitation of US President Joe Biden to host the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, as US officials accuse the Sudanese government of being under the influence of Iranian influence.

In general, the relationship between the United States and the Iraqi Kurdistan region is strong and complex. While there are some points of tension, the United States remains an important supporter of the region. The relationship is likely to continue to develop in the coming years.

The relationship between the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Kurdistan region is characterized by tensions, and this affects the relationship between the United States and the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Iran also considers the Iraqi Kurdistan region an area of influence, and may seek to undermine relations between the United States and the region.

The United States invests heavily in the oil and gas sector in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, as these interests play a role in the relationship between the two countries.

 The head of the State of Law coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, stressed today, Wednesday, the necessity of setting a timetable to end the tasks of the international coalition in Iraq.

Al-Maliki's media office stated that the latter "received the Ambassador of the United States of America to Iraq, Alina Romanowski, and during the meeting, views were exchanged on the developments taking place in the regional and international arenas, and a number of issues and files of common interest."

Al-Maliki pointed out, according to the statement, “the importance of strengthening the relationship with the United States and benefiting from it in various fields,” expressing his hope that “the visit of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani will contribute to strengthening the partnership and opening broader horizons for cooperation, as well as activating the strategic framework agreement and determining the duration of cooperation.” Time to end the international coalition's missions in Iraq.

Gulf countries are exploring investment opportunities in Iraq

link

In the Green Zone in Baghdad, the finishing touches are being put on the luxurious Rixos Hotel with Qatari funding, highlighting the growing investment interest from the Gulf countries.

The government of Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, hopes to host leaders of the Gulf states and other delegations from the Middle East in the 470 luxurious rooms and suites of Rixos Baghdad when they arrive to attend the Arab League summit scheduled for next year.

The Iraqi government seeks to attract more investments from the region for an economy damaged by decades of war and unrest. But it benefits from record oil revenues, which helps stimulate demand for consumer goods from a rapidly growing population estimated at at least 43 million.

Iraq, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has witnessed relative calm since the defeat of ISIS in 2017, despite the occurrence of sporadic violence, and China, Iran, and Turkey currently represent Iraq's largest trading partners.

Moataz Al-Khayyat, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Qatari Investment Holding Company, which is behind the Rixos project, said: “This is the right time to invest in Iraq,” pointing to “the Iraqi government’s ability to build huge projects and attract international investors.”

He added, "Iraq enjoys greater security and discipline. He believes that Baghdad will be one of the most important Arab capitals in the next 25 years."

For his part, Mahjoub Al-Zuwairi, Director of the Center for Gulf Studies at Qatar University, said, “Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE then began strengthening economic relations with Iraq in an attempt to distance Baghdad and bring it closer to the Arab political environment.”

In May 2023, Saudi Arabia said it had allocated three billion dollars to invest in Iraq through the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund, and later announced a multi-purpose project worth one billion dollars that includes offices, shops, and more than 6,000 housing units.

The Emir of Qatar visited Baghdad in June 2023, where an investment company signed memoranda of understanding worth seven billion dollars to develop two new residential cities, five-star hotels, and deals to manage and operate hospitals.

Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair, Chairman of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, said, "Iraq is a huge country with great potential, and perhaps they realized there that their biggest and best partner must be from the region."

Exports from Dubai Chamber of Commerce members rose almost 96 percent in the first half of last year.

The Gulf states have also shown increasing interest in the Iraqi energy sector, and last year Qatar acquired a 25 percent stake in a deal worth $27 billion led by the French company Total Energies to develop oil production and capture the gas that Iraq is currently burning, while the Qatari Urbacon Holding Company signed a memorandum of understanding worth $2.5 billion to develop two power plants with a total production capacity of 2,400 megawatts.

Last year, Crescent Petroleum, based in the UAE, signed three 20-year contracts to develop natural gas fields in the southern provinces of Basra and Diyala. Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power Company intends to establish a solar energy farm with a production capacity of 1,000 megawatts.

Iraq is also working to connect its energy network to Kuwait, and in the future to Saudi Arabia.

Adviser to the Prime Minister: Iraq is within the safe range countries in terms of paying foreign debts

link

 

Today, Thursday, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed the reasons for reducing annual allocations to pay off foreign debts, while noting that Iraq is among the countries in the safe range in terms of debt repayment.

Saleh said to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “According to international standards in calculating the ability of the national economy to bear the burden of external debt, Iraq is among the group of countries in the safe range in terms of the global standard for the ratio of the external debt stock,” indicating that “the gross domestic product According to estimates, it does not exceed 20 percent, while the global measure of the debt-to-GDP ratio allows up to 60 percent.

He explained, “Given Iraq’s regularity in repaying its external debts due annually, of which only approximately 20 billion dollars remain, the annual allocations to pay external debts through the federal general budget allocations have begun to show a clear decline and decrease in the amount of external debts due, and this has been reflected.” This is in the 2024 budget tables regarding allocations for external debt payments, compared to the 2023 budget tables, with a difference of decrease that may exceed a billion dollars.

He added, "This matter is reflected in Iraq's high creditworthiness in repaying its debts to external creditors and its commitment to repayment since the Paris Club Agreement in 2004 until the present. These are annual financial allocation mechanisms whose installments and interest are paid on a regular basis through the annual general budget, and they are decreasing. This means that the external debt gap is heading towards shrinking and then almost disappearing.”

He noted that "the Paris Club Agreement in 2004 dropped more than 100 billion dollars of Iraq's pre-1990 debt after Iraq obtained a discount on its debts at that time, which was 80 percent and more, and only a little of the remnants of those debts remained after it was removed." The remainder of it has been scheduled and is paid annually according to a precise and regular accounting mechanism on the part of Public Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq, and the continuous decrease in its allocations is demonstrated by the amount of the decrease in the annual allocation of external receivables from the debts that must be paid and their waiver annually.”
