News, Rumors, and Opinions Wednesday Morning 3-23-16

Dinar Updates:

wmawhite   ...the CBI indicated that the auctions were going to be restricted to once a week...we are looking for that to change.   ...

The auctions are similar to an IV that the Iraqi economy has needed to sustain life because they were unable to function with just the IQD. But now, that is changing. How do we know this?  

By just looking at what they are doing and by what the IMF, the World bank and the CBI has told us.  Remember, all of these efforts to bring their financial system into the 21 century, the constant training of the employees about international commerce not unnecessary if Iraq was going to keep using the USD "IV". 

Also, if Iraq could have enter the economy market while on the USD "IV" why haven't they already done so? The entire world accepts the USD.
....
The answer is in the statement from June 27, 2013 the day when the UN Security Council lifted the sanctions against Iraq. The Iraqi foreign Minister stated then that the Iraqi Dinar would again be great and powerful.

wmawhite   The ISX spent huge $$$$ for the new trading platform that will enable it to trade with 23 other international trading platform from around the globe...they are waiting to activate it. 

The ISX, IMO, is the one unspoken indicator that truly shows us that Iraq intends to change the status of the IQD, as well as its value.

Tishwash: Tehran, March 23, IRNA – Iran and Iraq inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in banking sector in Baghdad on Wednesday.

The MoU was inked in a meeting attended by visiting Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Valiollah Seif and his Iraqi counterpart Ali Al Alagh in Baghdad.

During the visit, the two sides discussed ways for fostering banking cooperation.
Seif and Al-Alagh also agreed for establishing 'Iran-Iraq Joint Banking Committee' aimed at monitoring the proper implementation of the mutual banking agreement.

Two weeks ago, Seif said Iran expects economic growth of more than 5 percent in 2016, after lifting of international sanctions over its nuclear program.

The major oil producer's economy is still struggling and growth is close to zero but many investors are betting that restoring Iran's links with the world and attracting foreign capital and technology will trigger a long-term economic boom.

In January, world powers led by the United States and the European Union lifted sanctions on the country.
 
The subsequent leap in Tehran's stock market in late January and early February gave a hint of the country's investment potential.

Call for Undertaking Currency Swap Deals

Former governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Ebrahim Sheibani, has urged government officials to switch to transactions in national currencies by signing currency swap agreements with other nations.

Local currency trade can end the nation’s dependence on US dollar for commodity exchange and eliminate trade barriers were imposed on Iran by the United States and United Nations.

In January, Iran’s central bank said it had suspended the use of US dollar in foreign transactions and was working on bilateral currency swap deals. This was followed by Moscow and Tehran’s announcement that they were going to set up a joint bank account for transactions in national currencies, such as in food trade.

Sheibani complained also about Iran’s foray into currency swap deals and said, “Other countries that did not even face our problems benefited from these agreements and thereby freed themselves from the tentacles of the dollar. Since foreign currencies are expected to gain against the rial in future, we ought to increase our leverage when it comes to money transactions.”

The official pointed to the recent move by CBI to sign agreements with Turkey, Russia and Iraq, saying the bank should aim to establish similar agreements with other nations.
