2/6/2024 Baghdad
The economic expert, Alaa Al-Fahd, on Tuesday accused those with discordant votes of inciting the street and the media against private banks to harm the national economy.
Al-Fahd said in a televised interview followed by Mawazine News, “These parties spread rumors that there are banking problems in the private sector in Iraq and that there is chaos and fraud,” pointing out that on “the ground there is nothing tangible from these rumours.”
He added, “Private banks began working since 2023 in financial development and transformation within a transitional phase from paper to electronic phase.”
Al-Fahd continued, “These parties, whether local or regional, are working to inflame the situation or spread false news to frustrate the resolve within banking institutions.” LINK

Advisor to the Association of Private Banks, Samir Al-Nusairi, on Monday, accused malicious parties of tampering with the Iraqi economy and the private and public banking sector by exaggerating the political and security crises in the country.
Al-Nusairi said in a televised interview followed by Mawazine News, “The Iraqi private and public banking market is facing malicious rumors, as certain parties are exaggerating security and political problems for the purpose of striking the national economy.”
He added, “The conspiracy against the Iraqi economy aims to abort the Iraqi government’s efforts to improve economic transfers, deal with the dollar, and complete the economic exchange platform project to finance foreign trade.”
He pointed out that “the Central Bank and the government are continuing with reform plans, especially the paragraphs of the government program to prevent dollar smuggling and support the private banking sector.” LINK

Mnt Goat …I talked to my CBI contact…I was told the rate will be determined just as it has been determined all along by the new asset backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) now in place. It was put in place from 2011-2012 and now running daily. Only technically they have not yet linked or mapped these new rates into the foreign currency exchanges as of yet. This is what we are waiting for. Not all the rates will come over at once and many call them “baskets” or “groups” of currencies. The plan is for the years to come to slowly roll out these new rates and map them to the foreign exchanges as the new market rates… [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
Mnt Goat …the rate will be whatever it is in the QFS system when the time comes to reinstate it. This will be the starting rate. All they need to do is bring it over to FOREX by mapping it from the QFS. It is a simple process. It will most likely be around $3-$4 when it does come out…Yes, when the IQD rate does come out, it could vary but only a drastic change in the price of oil will affect it. However, the projection is for the price of oil to hover around $70-90 this year which will still produce an IQD rate well within the range we investors want… [Post 2 of 2]
