Walkingstick:   Central bank: Iran will cut interest rates and the exchange rate unite

18/11/2015 05:55 |Direction Press

Crown Seif Allah head of Iran's Central Bank on Wednesday said that Iran expects to strengthen the nuclear deal with the West, economic growth, and they may loosen its riyal restrictions next year.

Iran's economy is growing at rates much slower than its potential due to Western sanctions and the decline in energy and high interest rates that the bank aims to reduce the prices the prices.

Iran, which owns some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world was signed nuclear deal with world powers in July, under which it agreed to curb sensitive aspects of its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.

He said Saif told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference "all interest rates higher than the rate of inflation. At the decline in the rate of inflation should also adjust interest rates."

The decline in inflation to about 13 percent and the International Monetary Fund is expected to fall to 11.5 percent more next year.

Seif said "the central bank is doing its best to speed up the reduction of interest rates in line with inflation.

"The price of the interbank cash market higher standards of realism and that's not good for the growth of the national economy."

Commercial banks and announced plans to cut deposit rates have to 18 percent, but it remains much higher than the rate of inflation. The government says it wants to reduce the proportion of bank reserve requirements to ten percent from 13 percent.

Iran and the official exchange rate determined by the Central Bank and other informal uses less restrictions and planned to start unification after almost six months of the entry into force of the nuclear deal.

And it shrunk the gap between the two rates over the past year, but began to increase again in recent weeks. The official price of the coin 29 thousand and 970 to the dollar and the official price is 35 thousand and 740.

Saif said, "We believe that the determination of the exchange rate is not the task of the Iranian central bank but will be determined by market mechanisms based on real factors of the economy."

"The sole task of the Iranian central bank are to reduce volatility and absorb the shock of the exchange rate in the market.

"I do not say that the price is the official does not concern us but on the market that is moving based on real economic trends and that the central bank limit any possible shock."

He said that Iran is able to achieve growth of about eight percent per year during the current five-year development plan. jh

Megameallionear:  Iraq to issue $2 billion Eurobonds in 2016 with World Bank guarantees


BAGHDAD | BY STEPHEN KALIN

Iraq plans to issue $2 billion worth of international bonds in 2016 with World Bank guarantees for up to half that amount, its central bank governor said on Wednesday.
The move comes after high yields forced the government to halt a bond issuance earlier this year.

Ali al-Alak predicted in an interview with Reuters that the new bond's yield would be "much less" than the 11.5 percent demanded by investors during a roadshow in Europe and the United States in September, but did not speculate further.

"It will be $2 billion but they (the World Bank) will guarantee let's say 40 or 50 percent of that," Alak said. "That will open the market more - make it wider - to attract more investors."
He said Baghdad had factored the bond into next year's budget in order to finance a fiscal deficit estimated at $21 billion out of a roughly $95 billion budget.

The extremely high yields demanded for an initial $2 billion U.S. dollar-denominated issue earlier in the year would have been financially burdensome for Iraq, a major OPEC oil exporter.

Baghdad, which is battling Islamic State militants and faces shrinking oil revenues due to low crude prices, had said it needed the proceeds of the bond to pay salaries and fund infrastructure projects in the oil and gas, electricity and transportation sectors.

Iraq hired three top global banks to arrange the sale, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase, but many institutional investors baulked at the risks.
A source close to the deal said the government has asked the same banks to prepare a roadshow for next year's issuance.

Mudher Saleh, a top economic adviser to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said the yield would depend on the extent of the World Bank's involvement.

Guaranteeing 75 percent, for example, would drop the yield to 5 or 6 percent, he said. He did not provide an estimate for a guarantee of 40 to 50 percent.

Standard & Poor's has assigned Iraq a B-minus credit rating, six notches below investment grade, saying security and institutional risks were among the highest of any sovereign it assesses, on par with Egypt and above Greece.

Iraq agreed last week to a program which would have the International Monetary Fund monitor Baghdad's economic policies as a basis for a possible funding program in 2016.
