Will Iraq return to the old “coin”?

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Work is under way to return to the old coin, which has been used for decades in the country, parliamentary sources in Iraq said.

A member of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament, Hanin al-Qadu: “We discussed with central bank officials the need to re-work coins that were used in Iraq during the past decades, rather than paper that is damaged and printed in large quantities again.”

He added in a statement, today, that “the use of metal categories and their descent for trading gives a notional value of the currency, as a number of neighboring countries exchange rates are very high against the dollar, and yet it has a coin in order to maintain the monetary process, and no need to request more Papers especially in small categories. ”

The dinar is the official currency in Iraq, and is issued by the Central Bank, and the dinar is divided into 1000 fils, but the high inflation rates in the late last century, caused the abandonment of coins from coins, which was coined in the category of fils where they are now out of circulation.

Economists believe that the cost of a coin is more than paper money, as well as that it is harder to carry on citizens, and the overheating in the economy prevents the minting of coins and make them in circulation.

At the time of Iraq’s independence from the United Kingdom in 1932, the same year, the Iraqi dinar was replaced with the Indian rupee at the rate of 1 dinar = 13 rupees.

Talk about re-work coin and delete the zeros from the paper

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed that there is a tendency to reintroduce the coin that has been used for decades in the country, while another member of the Committee proposed to pre-empt the coining process by “deleting zeros” from the current currencies so that there would be value for the small monetary categories.

The committee member, MP Hanin al-Qadu, that “during meetings and discussions with officials at the Central Bank stressed the need to re-work coins that were used in Iraq during the past decades, rather than paper that is damaged and printed in large quantities again.”

He explained, “The use of metal categories and their descent for trading gives a notional value of the currency,” noting that “a number of neighboring countries (exchange rates are very high against the dollar) and yet we find that it has a coin in order to preserve the currency and not need to request more papers Cash, especially in small categories. ”

Alkdo expressed surprise at the “policy of the Central Bank, which does not favor the introduction of coins for circulation in the Iraqi market.”

The Central Bank of Iraq announced in April 2005 to offer coins of denominations of 25, 50 and 100 dinars for circulation for the first time after it was canceled by the regime of Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War in 1991.

The Iraqi currency was canceled in 1991 when the international economic embargo on the country to increase the rate of inflation in Iraq by 1000%, and the result of the situation under the economic siege and a significant rise in prices led to the destruction of the value of the Iraqi currency and reaching a very low and severe exchange rate , Making the coin and the few denominations without value.

It is noteworthy that the Iraqi dinar, which was equal to 3.22 dollars before the occupation of the former Iraqi regime of Kuwait in 1990, its value fell to one dollar equivalent to three thousand dinars by 1996.

Another member of Parliamentary Finance said, “The cost of a coin is more than paper money, and it is more difficult to carry it on the citizen.”

MP Ahmed al-Saffar said that “inflation in the economy prevents the minting of coins and make them circulate among citizens,” suggesting that “there is a step to delete the zeros before the coinage process to be a value for small groups to large.”

Samir al-Nusairi: The private sector should be involved in economic decision-making and represented in the Council of Ministers

Economy News – Baghdad: The economic and banking adviser to the Association of Iraqi private banks Samir al-Nusairi, Monday, the need for the participation of the private sector in economic decision-making.

Speaking in an interview with the “Economy News” on the challenges of the Iraqi economy and opportunities for reform of the banking sector in the government curriculum and prospects for the future of the national economy in light of the efforts being made to establish the Council of the private sector and its leadership of the economy in Iraq Vision 2030 in accordance with the strategy of private sector development for the years (2014‐ The role of the Central Bank in the digital transformation of the Iraqi banking sector and its role in achieving financial inclusion.

The dialogue was as follows:

* What are the opportunities for reform and development of the banking sector in the government curriculum?

– In the fourth pillar of the government curriculum (strengthening the economy), the government timetable for the government and private banking sector was defined and policies were set to implement the following objectives:

Developing the Iraqi banking system and enhancing the confidence of citizens in it.

2. Transform banks to their primary function of lending for development.

3 – Banks that do not provide loans and banking facilities that assist in development lose their meaning as banks, which requires a specific attitude towards them from the Central Bank.

4. Banks are the lever of development and the importance of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank to support banks and develop their functions and not to rely on their presence on the currency window .

5 – Seeking to move from a paper currency economy to a symbolic and electronic currency economy and withdraw funds outside the banking cycle and enter them into the banking system.

All the above objectives, although the period set for their implementation according to the government timetable ranges from (1.4 years), but the strategy of the Central Bank for the years (2016-2020) has achieved many of the objectives of the above government curriculum and set policies and standards to achieve the objectives in stages.

This led to the evaluation and classification of banks based on their achievement of the planned objectives. Some banks are moving towards the required development. Banks still need an additional period of time to achieve the objectives. There are non-performing banks that are now making extraordinary efforts by the bank to centralize and administer these banks for rehabilitation.

What is important to us here is the real functional role of banks in providing loans and banking facilities and the transition from the role of banking to the development role

There are two important observations to be taken into account with regard to the issue of loans and banking facilities to stimulate the economy:

First: The nature of the activities of banks depends on the nature of the activities of economic sectors, and as long as the economic activity is concentrated in trade (imports) banks activity remains focused on external transfer and related .. Therefore, unless other sectors (industry, agriculture, tourism and other) move to expect diversity of activity Banking.

Without control of imports, these sectors will not rise, which explains the lack of serious loans through the Central Bank initiative.

Second: We must provide the legal environment and the extension of the rule of law in order to eliminate the phenomenon of default in repayment of loans and thus the reluctance of banks to provide loans and facilities.

Q: What is your vision of economic reform in Iraq?

In the light of my study and analysis of the reality of the Iraqi economy and the challenges faced during the sixteen years I reached my vision of economic reform has been fixed in my book (my vision of economic reform in Iraq) as follows: –

1. Draw a road map at the phased and strategic level to reformulate the new economic approach of Iraq, which adopts the mechanisms of transition to a social market economy in accordance with Article 25 of the Constitution by re-evaluating and reviewing the structural, structural, institutional and legislative system of economic management. Also review and evaluate the basis of coordination between the financial and monetary policies. Review the structure and presentation of the general budget and move it from the budget of the items to the program budget.

2. Adopting the policies set out in the National Development Plan for 2018-2022 and the Iraq Vision 2030 and activating the decisions reached by the Joint Expert Committees formed in the Council of Ministers in 2015 for each of the productive economic sectors. The implementation of the road map for each economic sector is subject to follow-up and monitoring. And evaluation.

3 – Form a joint legal committee between the government and the private sector to re-draft and amend and issue new laws and activate all laws issued and currently pending that govern the management of the economic process and serve the application of the road map that is approved, which is all the laws of the legislative environment that regulate and manage the Iraqi economy in a new method, most notably the Banking Law and Partnership between government, private sector and local product protection law.

4- Establishing the Private Sector Council, whose tasks will be in accordance with the strategy for the development of the private sector for the years (2014-2030). Extraordinary efforts are currently being undertaken by the Ministry of Planning in cooperation with representatives of the private sector and the United Nations Development Program and under the direct supervision and management of the Minister of Planning to establish this Council. We hope that the Council will come to light soon in order to exercise its duties in formulating policies, strategies and visions to lead the economy in the next phase.

5. Involve the private sector in economic decision-making and represent it in the presence of meetings of the Council of Ministers and the Committee on Economic Affairs of the Council of Ministers as a genuine member and the advisors and all opinion bodies in the economic ministries.

6. Establishing a central follow-up body linked to the Council of Ministers and representing the private sector.

* What is the role of the Central Bank, banks and financial technology companies in achieving financial inclusion?

– With determination and high confidence in the ability of Iraqi financial and technical cadres to overcome the challenges of the technical gap suffered by Iraq because of the repercussions of the siege, wars and instability during the period of the information revolution.

The Central Bank, banks and technical support companies were able to overcome the challenges of the technical gap between Iraq and other countries with sound procedures and mechanisms and stand in the right direction in the darkest economic and security conditions suffered by our country during the past years and draw a sound road map to catch up with the technical developments in the world.

The follower of the situation of Iraq during the past five years notes the extent of faith in the Iraqi capabilities and competencies on the events of change and bridging the technical gap between us and the developed world and this is evidenced by the important achievements have been achieved as follows: –

The methodology adopted by the Central Bank has always focused on working under a sound legislative, regulatory and legal umbrella , as well as promoting global governance concepts and standards with respect to information technology and financial technologies.

22- Issuing the electronic payment system for money No. 3 for the year 2014, establishing the National Payments Council, governance controls , institutional management of information and communication technology , and regulations and legal instructions that regulate the work of banks andelectronic payment service providers .

3. The Central Bank shall play a pivotal role in establishing advanced infrastructure and following thelatest international technologies and developing the bank’s financial and banking systems, paymentsystems and advanced communication networks according to the latest technologies.

4. The central bank has advanced payment systems as well as retail payment structures.
Granting work permits to many electronic payment service providers ( card issuers, collectors,processing of mobile payment companies, bills viewers and payment gateways through different channels ).

6. Extensive attention to the implementation of the first objective of the Bank’s strategy for the years (2016-2020) is to achieve financial stability through a sound financial system with emphasis on financial inclusion and risk reduction as well as the adoption of the project to localize the salaries of employees.

It is clear from the above achievements that the Central Bank has overcome the challenges of the technical gap due to the siege, occupation and terrorism and is moving steadily to achieve the digital transformation in the financial sector towards financial stability and the transition from the monetary society to the monetary society, which is also one of the objectives of the government curriculum in the fourth axis (strengthening the economy).

* Samir al-Nusairi: an Iraqi economic and banking personality characterized by its scientific wealth and continuous economic and cultural contributions and has an insightful and analytical vision of the reality and challenges of the Iraqi economy for previous years and a clear methodology for economic and banking reform.
