They Replied, If You Could. The Justifications For Raising The Price Of The Dollar Are Invalid, And This Is Our Response
Pratha News Agency135 2021-03-23 Muhannad Al-Atabi ||After the many discussions about the issue of raising the price of the dollar, and after voices aroused here and there defending the increase in the price of the dollar, I put before the eyes of the public opinion and those interested in following the merits of this issue a set of denunciations that nullify the justifications for raising the price of the dollar: 👇
First: Supporters of raising the price of the dollar claim that raising the price of the dollar contributes to encouraging and protecting the national product
* Here I say:
🔹 In the market system, there are two pillars, the producer and the consumer, and any decision or law must take into account these two pillars. Rather, the consumer is the object of service in the first place, and it is the one whose decisions and laws come to serve him.
And the increase in the price of the dollar is very clear that it has caused great harm to the consumer.
Secondly: Supporters of raising the price of the dollar claimed that raising the price of the dollar would protect the national product from harassment of imported products that harass it in the market.
* Here I say:
Observers of the prices of national products finds that they are constantly increasing, reaching some of them more than 200%, as is the case with table fat (oil), as well as the increase in local sugar (thanksgiving) by 40%, as is the case with cheese, meat, eggs and foodstuffs in general.
Third: Supporters of a dollar price increase claim that the dollar's appreciation was due to lower oil prices
* Here I say:
Oil decreased for less than 60 days and returned to increase three times its price when it declined, and the sixty days were replaced by a surplus that forces a decline of more than 200 days with the continued rise in its prices to exceed or exceed in April the price of $ 70 per barrel of oil.
Fourth: Supporters of raising the price of the dollar claim that raising the price of the dollar will undermine the power of those with big money, especially the parties that are inflating financially in a crazy way so that the citizen can recover.
* Here I say with all astonishment:
I do not know how they allowed themselves the proponents of raising the price of the dollar this justified, since everyone knows that the dollar is one of the assets of the owners of large money and that the citizen has his financial assets are the Iraqi dinar (contingent to the conversation I say balances where the reality is that the simple citizen does not have a balance but he has daily expenses that come from an incoming Daily or monthly)
With the rise in the price of the dollar, the service will be clear and free of charge for the owners of big money before severe harm to the citizen who owns the dinar, and with a simple calculation, the owner of one million dollars has gained 250 million dinars from the high price of the dollar
And the citizen who owns 10 million dinars, for example, loses 2.5 million and a half million because of the increase in the price of the dollar
This is with a decrease in the purchasing value of the citizen by 25%, which may be negatively increased in the future.
Fifthly: Supporters of the dollar price increase claimed that raising the price of the dollar would contribute to raising the balance of the central bank
* Here I say:
Yes, the balance of the central bank will increase, but this increase will be in the local monetary mass, meaning the balance in the Iraqi dinar will rise. As for the hard or foreign currency, it will not increase
A healthy and beneficial rise is made by increasing the balance of hard currency, such as dollars or gold, and others
And if the central bank wanted to raise its dinar balance, it could print an Iraqi monetary block according to ratios that balance its dollar imports, thus achieving the purpose of raising the dollar’s price without going to raise its price.
Sixth: Supporters of raising the price of the dollar claimed that raising the price of the dollar would contribute to strengthening and strengthening the Iraqi dinar in the world
* Here I say:
Amazing and strange this justification, which if his claim is true, the ignorance of his claimants is true.
In fact, the rise in the price of the dollar has destroyed the Iraqi dinar and weakened it by more than 25%.
Seventh: Supporters of the dollar’s price increase claimed that they were embarrassed by the Iraqi street, as well as embarrassed by the results of this ignorant blind decision.
* Here I say:
🔹 This justification confirms the people's admission of the mistake of the decision to raise the price of the dollar
But the strange thing is that the pride by mistake prompted them to justify keeping the high price of the dollar because of their fear of a delay in the budget, and this is an explicit fallacy for several reasons that deny this claim, including that we are today in front of eight months of the fiscal year where four of them have passed
Restructuring the budget on the old price of the dollar will only delay the budget by ten days
A delay of ten days is better than damaging years to come
In fact, with one formula, the budget can be deducted in one day, whereby expenditures are reduced equally by the value of what will decrease in the dollar.
Yes, we will be facing necessary adjustments here and there, so we said that ten days could be sufficient for these treatments.
These are brief responses to what proponents of a dollar appreciation claim
If there are other justifications, we are ready to discuss them scientifically and impartially.

Economist: The Rise In The Dollar’s Exchange Rate Returned To The Region With Large Sums
08:54 - 23/03/2021 The information / special between the economist, Wissam Al-Tamimi, said that the budget law stipulated that the region would deliver imports of 250 thousand barrels of oil to Baghdad, while the rise in the dollar will increase the region’s share of oil imports, especially since information is still vague about the amount of oil exports from the region.
Al-Tamimi said to "the information", "The value of the dollar rose against the dinar by more than 20 percent, as this increase came with large returns for the region in light of the high oil prices."
He added that "Kurdistan's proportion of the budget amounting to 13 percent will remain the same, but the region will get additional revenues by increasing the income of the dinar in light of the high dollar."
He explained, "The region is obligated to deliver imports of 250 thousand barrels to Baghdad, while the real numbers of the quantities exported through the region are still unknown, and therefore the region is the first to benefit from the high exchange rate as well as oil prices, at a time when the citizen lives great suffering and an economic blockade imposed by the government."

View Of Inflation Index
Tuesday 23rd March 2021 100 Muhammad Sharif Abu Maysam The increase in the annual inflation index by 3.3 percent was not surprising to observers in the economic affairs, after the increase in the exchange rate of the dollar in mid-December, which led to a rise in the prices of goods and services due to the depreciation of the local currency, in light of a large dependence on imports. In meeting the domestic demand for commodities.
Inflation is an economic term that at first glance indicates a rise in prices, while it can refer to inflation in the issuance of monetary currency, or income inflation due to higher monetary incomes, such as wage inflation and profit inflation, and so it can be a rise in costs or an excess of credit ratios. In monetary terms, this does not mean that these cases can occur simultaneously, but in all cases, inflation refers to the rise in the general level of prices in a country's economy, and it can be employed in processors for drawing up plans that target sustainable development and poverty alleviation. .
The general price level is the average of the prices of goods and services consumed in the economy during a particular year. Hence, the inflation rate calculated for large increases in the prices of a commodity or service does not reflect the real level of inflation related to consumer prices.
If we refer to the rise in the inflation index in the goods and services section due to the rise in gold prices throughout Iraq, this means that the high price of gold was reflected in the accounts of the inflation rate for other commodities related to people's lives and daily consumption, as well as other episodes in the sectors that take place Follow-up by the relevant authorities, including, for example, the Education Department, which also recorded an increase “as a result of the increase in the private lessons section in a number of governorates,” according to a statement reported by the media.
Here, we are faced with a situation in which accounts are mixed between the reality of the existence of such activities, which drain the entry of specific groups of society, while other groups are not related to them, regardless of the legitimacy that such activities take by simply referring to them in the report of a government agency, as a practice Acceptable, but referring to it in inflation accounts increases its numerical rates at the expense of the concept and its calculations in the goal of promoting economic growth, as is the case with moderate inflation that some countries target in their economic accounts to promote sustainable development.
