The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revealed the terms of its loan grant, while commenting on the white paper, welcoming its medium-term reform plans and changing the exchange rate.
"Iraq has been a member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since 1945, and like the IMF and other members, iraq is conducting an annual performance control process under Article IV of the IMF's founding agreement, which includes a general diagnosis of the state of the Iraqi economy," said Ghazi al-Shabekaat, head of the INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund(IMF) regional office, in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
"Iraq also benefits from the fund's technical assistance and financial support when it needs them," he said, adding that there is currently no arrangement or financial agreement with Iraq. "The amount of loans granted to Iraq until the beginning of this year amounted to one billion and 180 million dollars," the imf said, adding that "the fund has provided financial support to Iraq, dedicated to supporting the economic program on various occasions."
"The Article IV talks, held recently, were a good opportunity to consult with the Iraqi authorities during these difficult and challenging circumstances," the IMF said.
The imf expressed its support for lowering the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, stressing "the critical importance of having a strong framework for the state's public finances to ensure its credibility and to meet the need to protect the vulnerable."
