NORV Where is my buddy Dave? Got a new article for ya...appears they are fighting between floating and a LOP. lol
NORV The Iraqi Journal of Economic Sciences publishes an article on the Iraqi dinar between the polemics of flotation and devaluation
Mustansiriyah University 2022/05/15 12:10:01 The Iraqi Journal of Economics, issued by the College of Administration and Economics - Al-Mustansiriya University, published in its seventy-first issue for the month of December in 2021 an article under the title (A case and opinion / the Iraqi dinar between the polemics of floating and reduction) by Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Salih / Adviser to the Prime Minister for Financial and Economic Affairs.
The article indicates that despite the monetary policy of the Central Bank of Iraq following the shock method in adjusting the value of the Iraqi dinar with the procedures of December 19, 2020, but the reduction in the dinar exchange rate at a rate of 20% was identical to the deficit in the current account of the Iraqi balance of payments relative to the GDP The total, which was estimated at about (negative 20%) for the year 2020.
The debate remained among some economists about the importance of the Central Bank of Iraq resorting to the floating currency philosophy as a prelude to gradual adjustment instead of adopting the method of shock and surprise to the market with a low, alternative external value of the Iraqi dinar overnight. Overnight!).
Floating the currency exchange rate in essence means adopting an exchange system according to which the external value of the national currency is determined according to the forces of supply and demand in the exchange market. This comes in contrast to the fixed exchange system, in which the monetary authority or the central bank determines the value of the dinar against foreign currency in advance and according to the rules of its monetary policy.
NORV In spite of the foregoing, and in order to explain the importance of the policy of (floating the Iraqi dinar and adopting an equilibrium rate in the exchange market instead of (devaluation) according to the (shock) method that occurred in the value of the Iraqi dinar at the end of 2020, we must state in this regard the following:
First: In our economy of a unilateral rentier (sovereign) nature, the Central Bank of Iraq (the central market) is the monopoly in providing sources of foreign currency supply through open market operations.
Second: In the developing (non-rentier) economies that are diversified in the sources of supply of their foreign currency and their trade openness to import and export through free market forces.
But the question remains about the importance of the flotation, whether the Iraqi market cannot correct the exchange rates in the flotation when the central bank raises its hand as a central market so that the forces of demand appear in a market in which supply falters without continuous and intensive intervention that meets the demand for foreign currency without the intervention of the monetary authority. itself. https://uomustansiriyah.edu.iq/web_article.php?post_id=5799_221&lang=ar

butterfly SULAIMANI — The leader of the Sadrist Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, said on Sunday (May 15) his party has no choice but to temporarily join the opposition for at least 30 days.
Sadr explained he had failed in his efforts to form a national government due to increased pressure from both inside and outside of the movement.
He stated the party would make a new decision if the government could not be formed within one month.
Sadr announced he was "honored” to not resort to the courts in order to form a new government and stated he was "honored to have the largest parliamentary bloc in the history of Iraq.”
"We have an option left that we must try, which is going to the national opposition for a period of no less than thirty days,” he said.
Sadr gave the Coordination Framework, a loose coalition of Shia parties which has opposed the Sadrist Movement in parliament, a period of 40 days beginning on March 31 to reach an agreement with other parties on forming a new government.
The period for parliament to elect a new president of the republic passed in early April, following delays parliament sessions that MPs refused to attended, leading to a lack of quorum necessary to hold the sessions.
butterfly SULAIMANI — The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) representative in Baghdad told NRT on Sunday (May 15) the sum of 200 billion Iraqi dinars (IQD) has been transferred from Baghdad to Erbil.
