    By Marc Snaid.

    The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has announced that the introduction of the new Iraqi currency has been further delayed due to teething problems with the cutting-edge technology that it will employ.

    Radical new functionality including fingerprint recognition and near-field communication (NFC) promises to create a world-leading new monetary system, which will be the envy of governments around the world.

    Several years of collaboration between the CBI, the World Bank, and Goldman Sachs, has made it possible to create a database to track the location and ownership of each dinar note, making the monitoring of transactions much easier.

    Professor John Frink, of Springfield Heights Institute of Technology, who worked on the program, explained:

    “Each note already has its own serial number, so it is a simple matter to set up a database to record the location and movement of each note.

    “Near-field communication, which is already used in contact-less credit and debit cards, allows the notes to communicate with your mobile phone [cellphone] and relay information to our computers.

    “Touch-sensitive paper can even record the user’s fingerprint, for additional peace of mind.“

    By Matthew Gayle.

    The Burgan Bank Group announced that it has won Global Banking and Finance Review’s award for Best Banking in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) for the second year in a row. The award was given to Burgan Bank Group in recognition of its performance in 2012, and its consistent delivery of sound results across its operations in Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Algeria, Turkey, Tunis, Cyprus and Lebanon.

    Mr. Majed Essa Al Ajeel, Chairman of Burgan Bank Group, said:

    “We are very pleased to become recognized as the ‘Best Banking group in the MENA’ for the second year running. This particular award reflects the group’s overall strong performance, and the continuous efforts exerted to to introduce region wide integrated banking services to an extensive range of individuals as well as corporate customers.“

    The group’s Bank of Baghdad (BoB), which expanded its presence to Lebanon in 2010, allowed more international business flow between Lebanon and the Middle East to ultimately forge stronger commercial links with Iraq.

    Iran’s Role In Iraqi Dinar Devaluation
    Iran’s Role In Iraqi Dinar Devaluation

    Posted on 20 March 2013. Tags: Central Bank, dinar, IQD, iraqi dinar, re-denomination, re-valuation, Redenomination, revaluation

    By Omar al-Shaher for Al-Monitor. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.

    There were conflicting accounts of the reasons for the rise in the value of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar earlier this month. Politicians and economists have said that Iranian companies boosted the value of the dollar against the dinar by entering the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) auction for hard-currency sales and buying large quantities in order to smuggle them into Iran. On the other hand, a former senior official at the CBI said the rise is linked to increased government revenue from oil sales, leading to an increase in government spending.

    The weekly bulletin released by the CBI says 1,260 Iraqi dinars are now trading to the dollar, a level not been reached since last year.

    A member of the Iraqi parliamentary finance committee said the value of the dollar increased against the dinar because some Iraqi banks have stopped converting dinars to dollars and have sold dollars to exchange companies at prices favorable to the banks.

    Hussein al-Yasiri said some banks have stopped selling dollars to regular customers and instead have been selling them to exchange companies. This has prompted Iraqis to buy dollars from the exchange companies at prices favorable to the companies. The exchanges are not subject to government monitoring.

    Ahmed al-Alwani, head of the Iraqi parliament’s economic committee, said Iran’s need for hard currency as a result of international sanctions has prompted Iran to mobilize Iraqi partners to help the country get dollars through the CBI auction.
