Economic praise for Iraq and Russia’s agreement to deal in dinars and rubles: a masterstroke

On Thursday, economic expert Bassem Antoun considered the Iraqi-Russian agreement in transactions between the two countries in the local currencies of the dinar and the ruble to open new doors with other countries for dealing in local currencies, which will reduce the demand for the dollar , describing the agreement as a “masterstroke.” 

Anton said in a statement to Al-Maalouma, “Raising the issue of dealings between Iraq and the Russian Federation at the highest level of two figures played a role in agreeing with the Russian side to conduct transactions between the two countries in the local currencies of the ruble and dinar, especially since the volume of Russian annual investments in Iraq amounted to 19 One billion annually, and this is a very large number.” 

He added, “In light of the agreement, Iraq will open new horizons of openness with important countries to deal with in the local currency. Therefore, the demand for the dollar will decrease and the value of the Iraqi dinar will rise against the dollar.”

Antoun explained, “Among the basic and strategic measures of the current government and future governments is to activate the agricultural and industrial sector to achieve self-sufficiency, which will also reduce the demand for the dollar to obtain and agricultural and industrial products from abroad, and After that the country will emerge from dependence on the unilateral rentier economy dependent on the sale of oil.”

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani announced yesterday, Wednesday, the government’s interest in investing in gas, especially since this wealth has not received attention since the discovery of oil.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani concluded a visit to the Russian capital, Moscow, which he visited the day before yesterday, Tuesday.  link

Economist: The Central Bank bears the rise of the dollar. And 50 billion frozen in homes

{Economic: Euphrates News} The economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, held the Central Bank of Iraq responsible for the rise of the dollar in the local market.

Al-Mashhadani told the program “Free Speech” broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel on Thursday evening, “The rise in dollar prices is caused by the parallel market, which meets trade requests with countries sanctioned by the US side and reaches $ 30 million per day, as well as financing drug trade through it.”

“Until this moment, all the measures taken are improper, and some speculators and traders are the ones who cause the rise in dollar prices, and the Central Bank’s measures to reduce the sale of dollars led to a rise in the exchange rate,” he added.

Al-Mashhadani stressed “the need to adopt a culture of adopting the banking system in financial transactions, and Iraq is supposed to be a tourist country with more than 12 archaeological and religious sites, and the problem is that we did not invest any tourism in the country.”

He pointed out that “the rigid mass of dollars in Iraqi homes is not less than 50 billion dollars, so if the Central Bank criminalizes dealing in dollars, how will it be disbursed?”

“The central bank still has the tools with which it controls the exchange rate,” Mashhadani said.
