Central Bank: The issuance of new monetary denominations will not affect the dinar exchange rate
Member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ahmed Barihi, confirmed today, Monday, that the issuance of new cash denominations, large or small, will not affect the dinar exchange rate.
Brehi told Al-Ma’louma, “Issuing rumors on social media sites about the issuance of new monetary denominations aims to create a state of confusion in the Iraqi market.”
He added, “The Central Bank of Iraq is working according to well-studied plans, and there is no intention to issue new currencies in large or small denominations.”
He explained, “If we assume that the central bank issues a new currency, this will not affect the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar.” link

IMO, they can release all the paper currency they want, at any rate they want, it will not effect the currency value, just like the article states because it is controlled by the CBI. What effects the currency value is what the CBI sets it to or if it floats, the float value. Once the currency floats, it’s a whole different ball game.

Expert: The Iraqi economy is witnessing remarkable growth, which was contributed to the decline in the dollar exchange rate
Economist Jabbar Goran revealed on Tuesday the high rate of economic growth in the country and that the Iraqi financial system is linked to the global banking system.
The economic expert and spokesman for the currency market in Sulaymaniyah, Jabbar Gorran, said in a statement to Shafaq News Agency: “The economic and financial situation of Iraq is developing and growing significantly, and now we are witnessing an increase in the country’s economic growth by 2%, and this is a good thing for the Iraqi economy compared to previous years.”
He added, “The implementation of electronic procedures by the Central Bank of Iraq under the supervision of the US Treasury Department had a clear impact on economic growth as well as on the decline in the value of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar.”
He stated that “the monetary financial policy currently followed in the country has made the difference between the exchange rate of the dollar and the dinar shrink to the limits of ten thousand dinars, and this difference is considered normal for many reasons.”
He pointed out that “the measures taken since the middle of last year have been implemented in a realistic manner, amounting to 30 financial measures, which had a positive impact on dealing in the Iraqi dinar instead of the dollar, when transactions in the Iraqi dinar in the country are now estimated at 90%, with the exception of the Kurdistan Region, and also paved the way for merchants to deal.” Through external transfers directly through banks, 85% of local merchants can now deal with external transfers through banks to import materials from abroad.”
Kuran ruled out that the dollar exchange rate would be the same as the government exchange rate for administrative and financial reasons, indicating that the difference should remain this way at around 10 thousand dinars between the dollar and dinar exchange rate. link

This was in Iraq’s news
American banks are abandoning their branches and turning to online services.. What is behind this?
The American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, shed light on the plans of banks in the United States to abandon branches and move towards enhancing online banking services.
The newspaper revealed that major banks in the United States began closing branches in large numbers, as S&P Global indicated that about 2,454 bank branches were closed during the past year.
As of December 2023, the number of bank branches in the United States has shrunk by more than a fifth compared to 2009.
According to the newspaper, about 400 bank branches will be closed in 2024, including branches of Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, US, Capital One, PNC, Wells Fargo, and TD.

Wells Fargo Bank topped the list of banks with at least 88 branch closures since the beginning of the year, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees US national banks.
What’s behind it?
“High interest rates have contributed to a decline in bank profits, which could mean that more Americans may see their nearest bank branch close its doors,” says Nathan Stovall, head of financial institutions research at S&P Global.
He added to the newspaper: “Banks have realized that their physical footprint does not need to be as large today. As revenue pressures continue, banks are likely to continue to reduce branch networks.”
Experts believe, according to the Wall Street Journal, that banks are offering more online services at low fees, as well as improving digital banking applications, which are often faster and easier to conduct most transactions via mobile phone.
“The list of services that can be performed in bank branches is shrinking,” says Jim Perry, a senior strategist at Market Insights.
While online banking offers many benefits, there are people who do not consider getting rid of branches logical, such as some small business owners, according to the newspaper.
That’s why financial consultant Chuck Failla says, “It’s better for a neighborhood restaurant owner to bring his money to the bank at the end of the day than to pay an armored car service to come pick it up.”
He adds that people who frequently need to exchange foreign currencies may also want to retain the option of being physically present at branches. link
