Butterfly Economist: Reducing The Dollar Exchange Rate Is Exclusively In The Hands Of The Governor Of The Central Bank
LAST UPDATE 11/04/2021 | 11:27 AM The economic expert, Nabil Jabbar Al-Ali, confirmed, on Thursday, that the decision to change and determine the foreign exchange rate is in the hands of the Governor of the Central Bank exclusively, noting that the bank is responsible for monetary policy.
Al-Ali said, in a statement to "The Information", that "returning the dollar exchange rate to its previous state is the exclusive competence of the Governor of the Central Bank, and there is no government or regulatory authority involved in this."
He added, that the Central Bank is able to take a decision to change the price without restrictions or conditions, as it is independent and is responsible for drawing monetary policies in Iraq.
Al-Ali pointed out that “the government and parliament cannot force the central bank to change the foreign currency exchange rate.”
The economic expert, Younis Al-Kaabi, had confirmed earlier, that the central bank can gradually reduce the price of the dollar. https://almaalomah.me/2021/11/04/562278/

As you all know I have been in this for a very long time and as you all should know, by now, I am not a naysayer, just someone that believes in things will happen when they are suppose to happen.
Doug_W and IF butterfly

Doug_W agreed
butterfly A lot of elders receive their meds through the USPS and have not. That angers me but I have no control over that.
Doug_W I do from VA
butterfly Just heard last night that another neighbor was just put on the ventilator.
butterfly As I stated many times, no president of the US has control of the gas prices and this article just proved what I have been saying.............
Oil prices rise after “OPEC +” ignores an American call
Friday 05 November 2021 Oil prices rose today, Friday, to compensate for some of its losses, after the “OPEC +” group rejected an American call to increase supplies and agreed to stick to plans for a gradual return to production that had stopped due to the Corona pandemic.
Brent crude rose 82 cents, or just over one percent, to $81.36 a barrel, after losing about two percent on Thursday.
While US crude increased by 97 cents, or 1.25 percent, to $ 79.78 a barrel, after losing 2.5 percent in the previous session.
And “OPEC +” agreed at a meeting yesterday, Thursday, to adhere to plans to increase oil production by 400,000 barrels per day from December 2021, ignoring US President Joe Biden’s call to increase supplies to curb the rise in prices. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=937205

The strange paradox is that at the time it was besieged, Iraq did not go hungry; while now, a rich Iraq sees it people falling into the throes of hunger.

butterfly 2021-11-05 04:29 Shafaq News/ The head of "Iraqiun" alliance, Ammar al-Hakim, held a meeting with the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, earlier today, Friday.
Al-Hakim said in a post he shared on social media, "upon receiving al-Sadr, we discussed the updates on the situation in Iraq, the results of the election, and the entitlements of the upcoming stage."
Yesterday, al-Sadr met with the leader of Takaddom party, Mohammad al-Halboosi.
The results of the early parliamentary election held on October 10 showed the Sadrist movement maintaining the most seats in parliament, leading in several of Iraq's 18 provinces, including the capital Baghdad.
Al-Sadr, a controversial leader remembered for leading an insurgency against U.S. forces after the 2003 invasion, appeared to have increased his movement's seats in the 329-member parliament from 54 in 2018 to 73.
None of the competing political blocs appeared on track to win a majority in parliament and consequently name a prime minister. But as the results stand, al-Sadr's bloc will be able to take a leading role in the political horse-trading to find a compromise candidate and set the political agenda for the next four years.
The State of Low Coalition, led by the former Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki, secured 37 seats, fours seat hind al-Taqaddom (Progress) bloc led by the Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halboosi.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) led by the Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani has won 32 seats; twice more than Iran's favorite al-Fatah Alliance, which toll of seats diminished to 14 only from 48 in the 2018 elections. https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/Al-Sadr-meets-al-Hakim-to-discuss-the-election-results

Shafaq News / Oil prices rose more than $2 on Thursday, lifted by expectations that OPEC and its allies will stick to slow output increases despite calls from the United States and large importers for additional supply to cool the market.
Brent crude was up $2.15, or 2.6%, at $84.14 a barrel by 1338 GMT and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose $2.07, or 2.6%, to $82.93.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, meets later on Thursday and is expected to reconfirm plans to keep monthly supply increases at 400,000 barrels per day (bpd).
"Oil prices have traded in a narrow range thus far this week, with investors assessing the likelihood of OPEC+ succumbing to pressure to add more crude to global oil markets as well as deliberations from the Federal Reserve policy meeting," said Ehsan Khoman, head of emerging markets research at MUFG.
Citi analysts said that OPEC+ is likely to stick to current policy despite pressure from oil importers.
"The majority of OPEC+ members cannot raise production from current levels," the bank said in a note, adding that even Saudi Arabia has emphasised the need to exercise caution given continuing uncertainty over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia are also more confident that higher oil prices will not elicit a fast response from the U.S. shale industry, OPEC+ sources said, reflecting a desire to rebuild revenue and supporting the case against raising OPEC+ output more quickly.
However, several large oil companies plan to increase output or shale spending next year, which could undercut OPEC+ efforts to control supply and support prices.
Oil prices had earlier been in negative territory after Iran and six global powers agreed to resume talks on Nov. 29 to revive the 2015 deal on Iran's nuclear programme. Iran has demanded that the United States drops sanctions that have limited its oil exports.
butterfly On Wednesday both benchmarks posted their biggest daily percentage declines since early August after weekly inventory data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed a larger than expected rise in crude stocks last week.

UNEEK butterfly thanks for posting the news :Reading:
butterfly UNEEK yw
Clydesdale This is in direct response to Kap saying there is over 100 trillion dinar in circulation and there is going to be a lop. Newshound Guru Breitling Member comment: "One of the gurus is always talking about trillions of dinar out there...You have said on many occasions at last count there were between 5 and 6 billion notes and we were waiting for it to get around 4 billion or less.
I think what this guy is trying to figure out is what denominations are out there and came out with trillions." No. What he's doing is taking the M1, M2, M3 [reports]...M1 has the currency - How much physical currency is in circulation. That's in the M1 report. The M2 report is the commodities - gold [etc]... there are 4 separate reports and what he's doing is...talking all those reports and combining them together.
What do all those reports [equal] combined together...? Something like 54 trillion in dinar value. He's trying to say there are 54 trillion dinar out there in circulation. He is wrong...
Clydesdale Newshound Guru Kaperoni It is...a fact that Iraq has over a hundred trillion dinar in circulation. There is no possible way they could ever significantly RV the dinar. What they can do is redenominate (LOP) the dinar removing trillions to billions.
butterfly Clydesdale Thanks and it is nice to see you here again.
