chattels: in a memorandum to the International Monetary Fund, the government said on Tuesday it plans to finance the deficit in the balance of payments of withdrawal from Iraq, including foreign reserves will make it go down to $ 43 billion in 2016 from 59 billion last October end.
She said the government, under a program approved by the IMF as a precondition for the loan, it is expected that the balance of payments deficit of $ 14 billion in 2015, before shrinking to $ 11 billion in 2016. He estimated Iraq's GDP will grow by 1.5 percent in 2015 and 10.6 percent in 2016 to increase its production of oil. While falling oil prices will lead to a budget deficit of 15 percent of GDP in 2015 and a deficit of 10 percent in 2016.

OOTW: HERE IS A POST FROM BUTIFLDRM IN RESPONSE TO THE LETTER OF INTENTION/MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING RELEASED FROM THE IMF RE IRAQ, YESTERDAY
OOTW: Good Morning Wealth Watch friends, one thing I would like to add to the discussion in this Multi Currency Practices thread is a bit of intel that comes from this New LOI.
It appears Iraq has until the end of February to enact the Investment Law. I had no idea that the second amendment to the investment law will have an affect on Multi-currency practices for Iraq. We know that Parliament passed the Second Amendment to the Investment Law 2006 October 27th, so we should just be waiting for Masum to sign and the law to be posted in the Gazette. http://ift.tt/1NH4jaj
http://ift.tt/1GH6nki
. We should see the market rate decline when this law is enacted and hopefully the CBI can get their part of the exchange rate restrictions under control in the near future. C. Foreign Exchange Policy 18.
The government will maintain the peg with the U.S. dollar. The peg provides a key nominal anchor in a highly uncertain environment with policy capacity weakened by the conflict with ISIS. 19.
The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an 1 See Country Report No. 15/235. Iraq: 2015 Article IV Consultation and Request for Purchase under the Rapid Financing Instrument.
IRAQ 6 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the government will, by end-February 2016, amend the Investment Law, or issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction, as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. pg 5-6
OOTW: SO WE AWAIT THE PUBLICATION OF THE INVESTMENT LAW AMENDMENT AT THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE SITE
OOTW: HERE IS ANOTHER INTERESTING SECTION TO SUPPORT BUTI'S POST
OOTW: THIS IS ALSO FROM THE LOI
OOTW: B. Definitions 3. An exchange rate set at ID 1,180 per U.S. dollar will be used for monitoring purposes. This exchange rate will be used to convert into Iraqi dinars the U.S. dollar value of all CBI foreign assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, as required.
For CBI assets and liabilities denominated in SDRs and in foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they will be converted in U.S. dollars at their respective SDR-exchange rates prevailing as of November 10, 2015, as published on the IMF’s website. The same rules will be used to convert external debt related parameters.
OOTW: PERHAPS WHEN THEY AGAIN ADOPT ARTICLE VIII THEY WILL DEPEG FROM THE DOLLAR...WE'VE BEEN AWAITING THIS, AS THIS POSSIBILITY HAS BEEN DISCUSSED MANY TIMES BY IRAQI ECONOMISTS
OOTW: YOU MAY READ MORE ON THIS AT THIS LINK wealthwatch.world/showthr...

OOTW: THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE GAZETTE SHOULD BE PUBLISHED AT THE MOJ SITE IN BETWEEN 3-4 WEEKS, HOPEFULLY THE INVESTMENT LAW WILL BE WITHIN THIS POSTING
