Samson:  Warning Against "Floating Currency" To Raise The Price Of The Dollar Against The Iraqi Dinar

The economist Rasim al-Akidi said that the floating of the dollar, or what is known as the liberalization of the exchange rate, takes place through two methods, the first is pure or free, and the second is the controlled or controlled method, and in both cases the price of the dollar will rise against the Iraqi dinar and will lead to the withdrawal of a large amount of the monetary mass in Markets.

Al-Aqidi added, that the withdrawal of a large cash block corresponds to 4 drawbacks at the same time that will arise and the affected will be large segments, including the increase in prices in the markets in addition to the factories’ reluctance to produce because the value of profits will decrease in front of costs in addition to the absorption of per capita income and the increase in rental prices, so the interest will be limited by analogy. Other damages.

According to Al-Aqidi, Iraq needs an economic rescue plan that starts from maximizing non-oil revenues, which are many, and keeping the influential parties away from them because a large part of the financial resources does not go to the state treasury, and this is part of the causes of the current financial crisis in the country.

Economists’ opinions differed on the “floating of the dinar” in front of the dollar exchange to face the deficit crisis in the financial budget. One party believes that the procedure will serve the Iraqi economy in the medium term by activating the industrial and agricultural sectors, but another party believes that it will eliminate the poor and middle classes.

The Central Bank of Iraq rejected the idea of ​​"floating the dinar" during the next stage to increase government revenues and be able to pay employees' salaries in the coming days, citing its fear of increasing prices and harming the vulnerable classes.

The estimated budget for 2020 suffers from a large deficit of 50 trillion dinars. Observers expected the deficit to rise with the oil market losing about 50% of its prices.  LINK
