In a significant stride towards modernizing its customs processes and enhancing fiscal stability, Iraq has introduced a new electronic customs system, ASYCUDA, governed by the United Nations. This development, highlighted in a recent video by Freedom Fighter on the Goldilocks Global Banking News channel, marks a crucial turning point in the country’s efforts to stabilize its economy and integrate into the global trading system.
The ASYCUDA system has revolutionized Iraq’s customs data processing, enabling electronic transactions in trade and marking a departure from the previously manual, paper-based currency payments that were prone to theft and c********n. Over the past two years, Iraq has successfully connected its ports to this system, paving the way for electronic trade and customs tariff collection. This move is part of a broader reform agenda recommended by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) aimed at stabilizing the Iraqi dinar, reducing smuggling, improving customs transparency, and boosting non-oil revenues.
A key aspect of these reforms has been the recent increase in customs tariffs on various goods, ranging from 5% to 30%. This strategic move is designed to ease fiscal pressures without resorting to devaluation or salary cuts, thereby safeguarding the economic well-being of Iraqi citizens. By integrating the ASYCUDA system with its digital banking infrastructure and aligning with World Trade Organization (WTO) standards, Iraq is not only enhancing its customs processes but also taking significant steps towards WTO accession. This requires transparent and harmonized tariffs, a condition that Iraq is now better poised to meet.
The implications of these reforms are far-reaching. By promoting the use of the dinar in domestic and international trade, Iraq aims to reduce its dependence on the US dollar, a move expected to narrow the premium in the i*****l parallel exchange market and stabilize the dinar’s value. This, in turn, will enable the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) to better manage and defend the currency’s exchange rate. The electronic system’s compliance with international banking standards, such as ISO 222, ensures transparency and accuracy in currency valuation, further bolstering the dinar’s stability.
The modernization of Iraq’s customs tariffs and their integration into the ASYCUDA electronic customs system represents a crucial step towards fiscal stability, currency revaluation, and integration into the global trading system. As underscored in the Goldilocks Global Banking News video, these developments are based on insights from reputable sources, including Goldilocks reports, the IMF, the UN, and the WTO.
