Samson: Member of Parliamentary Finance: Parliament intends to question five ministers
05/24/2021 11:57:52
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee said that the House of Representatives intends to question five ministers.
In a press statement, Jamal Cougar said, "Five ministers are scheduled to be questioned during the upcoming parliamentary sessions, according to the words of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi," explaining that "the ministers are electricity, finance, agriculture, industry, planning or higher education."
And that "among the axes of the questioning of the Minister of Finance under the dome of Parliament is related to the Central Bank of Iraq, as well as the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, as well as the large general budget number, in addition to the issue of neglecting their contracts breached." And the Iraqi Ministry of Finance confirmed earlier, that the 2021 budget did not include any allocations for those whose contracts were canceled.
Earlier, a number of deputies close to the crowd indicated that the return of those whose contracts had been canceled from the popular crowd to service was included in the 2021 budget, with two signs to confirm the clause of adding 30,000 job degrees to return their contracts with canceled members of the Popular Mobilization Forces.
It is noteworthy that the Central Bank of Iraq has resorted to reducing the price of the dinar against the dollar, in order to reduce the deficit in the federal budget for the year 2021, but with the rise in oil prices, expectations have spread about raising the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar again.

Don961: The US Central Bank is intensifying its efforts to explore a digital version of the dollar
67 Economie 05/24/2021 21:04 mum Baghdad Today- Follow up
US Federal Reserve member Lyle Brainard said on Monday that the US central bank is stepping up efforts to explore the potential development of a digital version of the dollar.
This came at a time when an increasing number of consumers are using digital payments and while other governments are moving forward with issuing digital currencies.
As the world's largest holder of reserve currency, Brainard added, the United States should be actively involved as digital payments become more common and other countries develop digital currencies that can be used to send money across borders.
She stated that the Federal Reserve is stepping up its research and public participation on a digital version of the US dollar.
She explained that the central bank must also anticipate changes in consumer trends and ensure that Americans have "safe cash from the central bank" as digital payments become more popular. link
