6/22/2021 7:41:34 PM Baghdad / Obelisk:
Dr. Mazhar Salih, Economic Adviser to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, said on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 that his statement about the project to delete zeros represents a purely economic point of view that included a technical explanation of the issue of the history of the multiplication of zeros in the Iraqi currency during the siege. the past.
In response to statements that criticized his point of view, Saleh considered that they are issued by politicized parties and trolling for words, adding: I have spent seventy-three years of my life and I still face this type of people, considering that people are enemies of what they are truly ignorant of.
Saleh considered that these statements, which claimed that the talk about deleting zeros, caused a recession in the Iraqi market, politicized and issued by people who call themselves politicians and independents.
And the appearance of Muhammad Salih set two conditions for deleting 3 zeros from the currency, while stressing that the option to delete is proposed as part of the strategies for reforming the currency and cash payments system in Iraq.
Saleh told the Obelisk, "The Central Bank of Iraq developed a project to delete three zeros from the Iraqi currency in order to reform the cash payments system, which has become burdened with the insomnia of the economic blockade imposed in the nineties of the last century, and put it into research and study long ago, after looking at about 54 An international experience from the end of the Second World War until the second decade of the twenty-first century, which took place in various countries of the world, in which the monetary payment systems were reformed and made to work more efficiently, the last of which was the Islamic Republic of Iran and before that, Turkey.
He added that "the phenomenon of increasing zeros in the monetary unit or adding zeros to a single monetary unit usually comes due to the exposure of economies to unruly waves of inflation or continuous sharp rises for years in the price level due to wars, sieges and conflicts, which lead to financing the deficit of government budgets through cash issuance." .
Saleh believed that "the hyperinflation that hit the Iraqi economy in the nineties of the last century added three numbers to the Iraqi monetary unit (that is, one dinar became equal to a thousand dinars, and ten dinars became ten thousand dinars, and so on for the rest of the categories), while the small categories disappeared from circulation completely, but rather Every 250 fils became equal to 250 dinars, and it was considered the smallest monetary unit in circulation today, which raised the cost of micro-transactions that mostly affect the poor.
He concluded by saying, "The project to delete zeros in Iraq is still technically prepared by the Central Bank of Iraq, which is the official sectoral authority and the monetary authority concerned with this matter and in cooperation with all three state agencies and authorities. and cash payments in Iraq.

Frank26 The Finance Minister [Seleh]...on the 19th [said]...our exchange rate is going to stay the way it is...the following day on the 20th Seleh says the complete opposite. 'Yeah, there's a study about the exchange rate...we're going to change it. It's not going to be the way it is. We're going to change the exchange rate yeah. I'm sorry, my bad.'
Walkingstick [via Frank26] There are many roads IMO that will cross on the 28th of this month - with World Banks, with the CBI...the CBI is now talking/giving speeches about lifting of the three zeros...they ain't coming out and talking to you plainly by saying 'oh yeah, we're going to add value. Oh yeah, we need to lift the value against the dollar.' No They're talking point blank...the governor's speeches have been on 'lifting the 3 zeros' not 'changing the exchange rate'. That was the theme from parliament. They are not going to change the exchange rate. That is not the 'mechanism' of the CBI. They told you countless times that they will remove zeros from the exchange rate...
