A central bank advisor responds to fears of the collapse of the dinar after the dollar's price increase LINK
MilitiaMan: The focus is on their reserves and that there is strength to the dinar. The recent devaluation was on purpose for a purpose. That purpose is to have liquidity to support the public finances while the de dollarize the country.
Once they strengthen the currency, the county or citizens will support their own currency and will abandon the dinar..
Modifying the exchange rate is on the table with House of Representatives this next week, as early as Tuesday - Wednesday.. Lets see what they do. imo ~ MM

26th December, 2020
The Parliamentary Finance Committee announced, on Saturday, the arrival of the budget bill to the parliament.
A member of the committee, Ahmed Hama Rashid, said in a radio interview, "The budget bill has reached the inclusion of the House of Representatives, and according to the bylaws, it is read first, and then it is studied by the Finance Committee and a second reading is read."
He added, "After the second reading, the remarks of MPs and political blocs are taken," indicating that "the Finance Committee needs from 20 days to 30 days to approve the budget." Link

The Parliamentary Finance Committee informed the Presidency of the House of Representatives, today, Sunday, that it will hold continuous meetings as soon as the General Budget Law arrives in Parliament for discussion and approval as soon as possible. It is likely that the 2021 budget will be approved at the end of this December.
"The government has postponed sending the budget to the House of Representatives so far due to the high oil prices in the global market, which requires reformulating numbers in the budget sections to reduce the financial deficit ceiling and increase revenues," the committee's reporter, Ahmad Al-Saffar, stated
He explained that "the cabinet will meet next Tuesday and may approve the budget then or hold a special session to discuss and approve the budget next Wednesday, which means that the budget will reach the Presidency of Parliament early next week."
He added, "The draft budget is still up to the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers to audit it in coordination with a special committee from the Ministry of Finance and the International Monetary Fund to update the Iraqi dinar exchange rate before the end of the fiscal year," indicating that, "according to government estimates that we have informed about the price of a barrel of oil." In the general budget it will be between 42 - 43 dollars.
The official spokesman for the Council of Ministers, Minister of Culture, Hassan Nazim, announced last week that the Council of Ministers decided to postpone its session devoted to discussing the draft Federal Budget Law 2021, until yesterday, Saturday, as it has not yet been held.

MilitiaMan: I am sure everyone by now can see the postponements are intentional. They clearly have a goal, a purpose and it is on purpose imo. They are holding their cards (exchange rate) close to the chest as long as they possibly can. It is clear as a sun filled cloudless day. They are going to update the exchange rate before the end of the year.
One can say, well they did already from 1190 - 1460 and one can say they are to do it again based off todays articles from 1460 - 1660. They did say in the past they were going to devalue too, and they have also said they were not going to devalue, as it will hurt the citizens and yet, they did devalue and may again. The latter would be even worse on the citizens. But, is that really the goal to hurt the citizens and devastate the economy? I highly doubt it!!
There was an article from the US Federal Reserve Bank recently that told us that countries can devalue and revalue their currency. Well, Iraq has told us they may do all of the above many times and in many ways that are just not all that clear or were bald face lies.
Hindsight shows they did tell us though one way or another that they are or were going to devalue the currency and also revalue it. They are now telling us below that they are de dollarizing and will be heading to use digital dollars in the future for tracking.. Transparency.
They also tell us they need to or are now providing liquidity with the Dinar but only until the USD gets scarce. The liquidity is temporary. Going from 1190- 1460 and possibly to 1660 is providing that liquidity, painful as it may be short term.
Well if we look at the Auctions lately and even to day, proves they show us a massive change of late and that supports scarcity is upon Iraq now for the USD. imo. A necessity of the IMF on Iraq..
They will need to cease the use of the USD as we know it. The future will be very different and it will curb corruption.. So, be patient and hopeful as there is no need to be worried or upset for that the devalue sets the stage for a revalue.. imo.. ~ MM

Frank26 Why aren't you worried about what's going on [the deflation to 1460]? Because this is being used to retrieve the three zero notes and because IMO I feel very strongly that the budget does not have this 1450 rate. Nor does the HCL. Nor do the white papers. So why should I worry about 1450...
Footforward [...can you elaborate on the pictures of the 500 and 250 Note of the Iraqi Dinar. I have heard different things. Are these new notes in Circulation? If so what does It mean for our investment?] I haven't seen any pictures but they aren't buying anything with those notes yet. They need the value to drastically increase. So my comment would be it doesn't matter until they RV. But I'd suggest they didn't print smaller denoms for nothing. That's my opinion. Not financial or investment advice.

Harambe: VnExpress: Lowest in 10 years, Vietnam 2020 growth among world's highest
(12/27/20)
A 4.48 percent Q4 growth has propelled Vietnam’s annual growth to 2.91 percent for the year, the General Statistics Office said Sunday afternoon.
"This is the lowest GDP growth level in the 2011-2020 period. However, given the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is considered a success for Vietnam, with the growth rate among the world’s highest," Nguyen Thi Huong, head of the GSO, said at a press briefing.
The annual growth rate matches an earlier projection by the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
A GSO report says agriculture, forestry and aquaculture grew 2.68 percent, manufacturing and construction 3.98 percent, and the services sector 2.34 percent.
While the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked socio-economic havoc, the services sector has tanked, several commercial and consumer services enjoyed growth in the last months of 2020. Domestic transportation is recovering, while international transportation and tourism services are still in the doldrums.
The value of imported and exported goods this year rose 5.1 percent year-on-year to $543.9 billion. In this, exports and import values rose 6.5 percent and 3.6 percent year-on-year to $281.5 billion and $262.4 billion, respectively. This helped the country compile a trade surplus of $19.1 billion, the highest since 2016.
Labor productivity rose $290 over 2019 to VND117.9 million ($5,081) per worker, and the consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.23 percent.
Earlier this month, a World Bank report had said that with a GDP growth of 2.8 percent, Vietnam will be among the fastest-growing economies in a Covid-19-ravaged year. The country will be one of only three nations in Asia that will post positive growth this year, the others being China and Myanmar.
In November, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised upward its forecast for Vietnam’s 2020 GDP growth by 0.8 percentage points to 2.4 percent.
Vietnam’s growth would be among the highest in the world, thanks to its successful containment of the Covid-19 pandemic, Era Dabla Norris, mission chief to Vietnam and division chief in the IMF’s Asia and Pacific department, had said.
Last year, Vietnam’s GDP growth of 7.02 percent was the second highest growth figure in the last decade, after the record 7.08 percent in 2018.
