Updated Cash Sterilization

Saturday 02 October 2021  119  Mustafa Mohamed Ibrahim  Updated cash sterilization is a process by which monetary authorities ensure that foreign exchange flows from abroad do not affect the monetary basis, as the monetary basis is one of the components of the overall money supply.

Many countries are trying to influence the value of their local currency in the foreign exchange market, through the operations of buying and selling that currency against the foreign currency. If the monetary authority sells the local currency, which was not in circulation before, this measure will expand the local monetary base (increase), and the same is true if the monetary authority buys more of its local currency, and does not enter that currency into circulation, the effect here will be deflationary (declining) on​​a monetary basis.

In Iraq, the circulating monetary sterilization is the window for selling foreign currency by withdrawing the Iraqi dinar from the market in exchange for providing the market with foreign currency, which is the (dollar). As for the new monetary policy mechanism, which is the updated monetary sterilization by offering national bonds with the first two issues in the amount of (500,000) Dinar with annual interest (6%) for two years, and the second issue in the amount of (1,000,000) dinars and annual interest (7%) for four years, for the purpose of withdrawing liquidity from the public through banks and at the same time called building bonds.

Public requests are submitted through all banks, and then the bank pays these requests to the Central Bank of Iraq, for the purpose of providing the bank with the required bonds. During the other banking operations carried out by the banks, in addition to the fact that the banks did not focus only on the foreign currency sale window, but rather moved the other goals undertaken by the banks.

In my opinion, it is called (the updated monetary sterilization), as the Central Bank of Iraq continues to achieve its development goals towards a sustainable economy, as well as being the only lung of the Iraqi economy in all crises, starting from 2015 until now.

In conclusion, the Ministry of Finance should direct its government banks (Al-Rafidain, Al-Rasheed, Al-Iraqi Trade) to support this method carried out by the Central Bank towards achieving development goals, as well as reducing the financial deficit, based on the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq No. (23) of 2021 / Article II - Deficit / Paragraph 2 - A - 2, which authorized the issuance of national bonds to the public, in support of the budget, and do not forget that there are national bonds issued in 2021 with an amount of (8.5) trillion Iraqi dinars, which is part of the sources of financing the planned deficit in the 2021 budget.
