Clare: Iraq Increases Reserves at IMF by 50%
15th October 2024 By John Lee.
A meeting of the Iraqi Cabinet this evening approved an increase in Iraq's quota at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by 831.9 million Special Drawing Rights (SDR), equivalent to 1.45 trillion Iraqi dinars [$1.1 billion] based on the exchange rate as of October 8, 2024.
This 50-percet increase in Iraq's previous quota will enhance the country's voting power within the IMF.
The additional allocation will be included in the 2025 budget.
The IMF created SDRs as an international reserve asset to supplement member countries' official reserves; they are not a currency, but rather a claim on freely usable currencies of IMF member countries. They serve as a potential source of liquidity for IMF member nations.
SDRs represent a weighted basket of major international currencies, and can he held as part of a country's foreign exchange reserves. Adding SDRs to a country's international reserves makes it more resilient financially. LINK

Frank26 Concerning the CBI announcing to you Iraqi citizens that they are activating the banking reforms...That means they are activating the monetary reform. They're going to give you your new lower notes. They are going to give you your new exchange rate. They're going to give you the keys to the ATM... You are now going to be receiving your purchasing power not only through the new exchange rate but via the HCL and the jobs the economic reform is about to produce.
Fnu Lnu Reminder...Redemption centers ARE BANKS. They are bank offices designed to be off premises for the purpose of validating and verifying the IQD and accrediting your bank account with the exchange amount deposit. They are banks and you WILL NOT get better rates at a BANK EXCHANGE CENTER. It is AGAINST the LAW to sell a financial instrument for different prices at different places. It is called "THE RULE OF ONE PRICE"...There are laws and they will be followed.
