Winnerdinar: ‹@OOTW›  Winnerdinar: good chat
 
 
OOTW: not really a chat but thanks
 
OOTW: there's so much conflicting news out re the auctions - converting iqd to dollars, how the citizens are being ripped off, but they will not put their money in the banks until the deposit insurance is in force
 
OOTW: they also have to get corruption in line   OOTW: its the same old thing
 
OOTW: also there are many areas where people cannot buy dollars except via the street vendors
 
OOTW: who charge hugs spreads
 
OOTW: then when they go into a cbi branch to deposit, the bank is telling them that their deposits are going to be held in dinar
 
OOTW: (also, sidenote - over a year ago, or two, the CoM came out and made an announcement that all transactions were going to be in IQD)
 
OOTW: so think about this
 
OOTW: youre a citizen, you go to the local currency vendor, street vendor..you pay say, 1240 dinars for one dollar
 
OOTW: then *IF you go to your local cbi branch to deposit to your account
 
OOTW: you're taking a reduction essentially, you paid 1240 on the street and then the bank is telling you your dollar youre depositing is worth 1182
 
OOTW: so you paid your spread then you get penalized for it
 
OOTW: a huge hit  OOTW: not just the spread   OOTW: *huge
 
OOTW: if banking was electronic - and that method could be trusted then it would be okay - also we still need to see state banks privatized and also more locations for people to deposit
 
OOTW: electronic methods re currency transactions , should, in effect, maintain integrity
 
OOTW: ie buying dollars (or even eliminating dollar sales) or dinars at their "true" worth going right into your account
 
OOTW: but....why is this not happening...????   OOTW: no friggin deposit insurance
 
OOTW: now read this article
OOTW: Citizens: banks forcing us to recognize our trusts «dollar» dinar Baghdad: Sara Kingsley Refrain from civil Baghdad banks disburse remittances and dollar deposits of citizens in the same currency to persons detained or sent to them, but are launched in Iraqi dinars, and the price at which it sells by the Central Bank.
 
Moon Eclipse noticed some abstentions complained banks cashing dollar deposits in dollars and forced to convert to the Iraqi dinar and the official rate for the dollar at the Central Bank and not at the market price, with regard to financial experts confirms that those recognizable methods and prepare to exploit the current economic circumstance.
 
He says a number of citizens, and their customers and the customers of those banks in their "world", "some banks in Baghdad to refrain from disbursing the dollar" doaeana "to the dollar, forcing us to received the Iraqi dinar and the official price for your dollar in the Central Bank and not at the market price, regardless of height occurring now in the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar", noting that "those banks cited the lack of financial liquidity.
 
Referred to as the Central Bank sold the dollar to banks and foreign exchange companies in the currency auction and 166, in its price in the domestic market between 1200 to 1260 Iraqi dinar. For his part, said Economist Dave winfred in connection with "the world" that "those banks take the currency difference without returned to citizens", pointing out that "such practices are contrary to the applicable laws."
 
 So, the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank and financial expert Ahmed ibraihi in connection with the "world", "such practices are the use of the current economic situation and need of citizens for foreign currency," he said, adding that "instructions to the Central Bank does not allow this."
 
OOTW: so this article is stating the plight of the average citizen
OOTW: and saying that the cbi shouldn't be doing this
 
OOTW: but....butifldrm and i spent all day analyzing cbi law as well as the islamic banking act today
 
OOTW: and the cbi has issued regulations saying that they can charge what needs to be charged according to their needs they estimate, so they have enough to purchase dollars
 
OOTW: we need to see a break from the dollar..but the IMF report indicated that for now they're staying pegged
 
OOTW: i spent hours today going through the MOJ site - one ip address digit at a time to find all gazette publications
 
OOTW: the Islamic Banking Act that was passed early october 2015 - has not been published at the MOJ site
 
OOTW: so, until this is published in a gazette, it's not law
OOTW: even the law itself and all iraqi laws state this at their closing
 
OOTW: cbi law has to be amended but they could get the capital they need with the enactment of the deposit insurance law
 
OOTW: they need to stop the auctions and they can't limit the corruption until this law gets passed
OOTW: i'm talking about street vendor transactions
 
OOTW: someone informed me today that there's going to be an enactment of capital requirements for banks by june 2016
 
OOTW: for iraqi banks
 OOTW: some banks may not have the capital needed
 
Butifldrm: To stop the auctions the CBI will have to remove themselves from article xiv and move the dinar to an internationally traded currency, in other words accept all obligations under article VIII
 
Butifldrm: I would think they would unpeg from the dollar and float the currency, let the market decide the value
 
Butifldrm: If and when that happens the citizens will no longer have to exchange the Dinar for the Dollar

Butifldrm: and they will no longer spend Dinar to exchange to an internationally traded currency
 
Butifldrm: We know the auctions are a point of contention because they are the breeding ground for corruption   Butifldrm: and apparently the corruption still exists
 
Butifldrm: The problem is the also partially attributed to the legislation side, the laws not passed, the sectarian disputes, it's pretty much a conviluted mess.
 
ladyfox: Hi ALL Imo Feb will bring out some good things  [:ninja:] 
OOTW: then we have this
OOTW: Mesopotamia owns the biggest financial stocks «»» in the region Baghdad: the world Arabic, banks revealed on Sunday that Rafidain Bank "biggest" financial stocks in the region and the Arab world with total assets amounting to 210 billion dollars, stressed that Iraq does not need funds to stimulate economic and banking sector, with the need to develop human resources and banking on Iraq.

The Secretary-General of the Union of banks "Arabic Iraq needs to develop its human resources and banking to fund the domestic economy", noting that "the Union work after signing a cooperation agreement with the Association of banks.
 
OOTW: SO IF THE RAFIDAIN HAS 210B USD IN RESERVES...THIS MEANS, BY PROXY, SO DOES THE CBI
 
OOTW: THIS IS COMING FROM THE SCTY GENERAL OF THE ARAB BANK (FOR THE REGION OF ARAB COUNTRIES)
 
Butifldrm: Well, this is quite intriguing because the Rafadain bank is a state owned bank, but evidently it's reserves cannot be tied to the CBI reserves
 
Butifldrm: But, 250B in reserves is quite a lot of money and I'm not sure but maybe the reserves of this bank are untouchable because of the CBI's commitment to privatize both the Rafidain and Rasheed banks
 
Butifldrm: Now we see the importance of the IMF's request for the privitization of these banks
 
OOTW: TY BUTI YOU BRING, AS ALWAYS, AN EXPANDED UNDERSTANDING TO US
 
Butifldrm: site: "Iraq does not need funds to stimulate economic and banking sector." Fatouh said that "Rafidain Bank owns the largest Treasury financial region and the Arab world, with total assets amounting to 210 billion dollars",
 
OOTW: ADMITTEDLY, I AM NO ECONOMIST
OOTW: WELL THE NEWS IS CERTAINLY FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS
OOTW: (NOT UNUSUAL LOL)
 
Butifldrm: So now the I do believe it takes us back to legislation before these reserves can be capitalized on
