17th February, 2022
The economic expert, Hammam Al-Shamaa, confirmed today, Thursday, that the decision to reduce the dollar exchange rate is exclusively in the hands of the Central Bank of Iraq according to the law, and no one is allowed to act on it.
Al-Shammaa said in an interview with Earth News, “The decision to reduce the dollar exchange rate in the local markets is exclusively in the hands of the Central Bank of Iraq, according to the law, and no one may act on it without a decision from the bank.”
He added, “On the other hand, the tweet of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, does not mean a return to the old price, as it is not permissible to reduce the exchange rate at the expense of the poor, as exchange rates must maintain their balance so that everyone maintains their standard of living without being hurt by the rise or decline.”

He continued, “Therefore, I think that Al-Sadr respects the laws and the powers of the Central Bank and estimates that returning the exchange rates to its previous era will lead to major economic problems.”

Swedish telecom equipment company ERICSON has acknowledged that a number of its employees in Iraq may have paid bribes to members of the Islamic State so that they could use certain methods that were under their control.
The company has detected “unusual payments dating back to 2018, but has never identified the final recipient of this money,” CEO Boreh Ekholm told Dagens Industri, adding that “what we saw is that transport routes in areas under the control of Terrorist organizations, including ISIS (ISIS), are represented in paying money for their use.”
Ekholm’s comments came hours after the company published a statement late on Tuesday acknowledging that there had been “serious violations of compliance rules and the company’s Code of Business Ethics” with respect to Ericsson employees, vendors and suppliers in Iraq between 2011 and 2019.
The statement confirmed that an internal investigation conducted in 2019 revealed “evidence of misconduct linked to corruption.” These include “cash donations without a clear beneficiary, payment to a provider for work without documentation or a clear framework for action, use of suppliers to make cash payments and unjustified financing for travel and expenses, and improper use of sales agents and consultants.”
It also monitored violations of Ericsson’s internal financial controls, conflicts of interest, non-compliance in tax laws and obstruction of the investigation.
Ericsson said payment and cash transactions programs “likely caused money-laundering risks were also detected”, but “the investigation was unable to determine whether any of Ericsson’s employees were directly involved in financing terrorist organizations.”
As a result of the investigation, several employees have left the company, and “several disciplinary and corrective measures have been taken,” Ericsson said in a statement. The director of the company said that they shared the results of the investigation with the US authorities. LINK
