MilitiaMan: These are recent articles on digitizing money. Importantly the digitizing of the DINAR and the USD were also known to be in the agenda. Now we see that they are using the Dinar in the Budget along side with oil outside of the Dollar.. WE can probably safely presume that the meetings tomorrow with the USA will have that in mind…. imo ~ MM

People of experience and confidence …. The Golden Triangle
Special files , 12/12/2020 20:06
Baghdad – Iraq today:
We must record President Al-Kazemi’s success in choosing some of his government’s men with great competencies, high professional experience and pure national affiliation amid our objection to some unsuccessful options for running the state in his government, which is swinging in the midst of the popular and political storm that has been blowing over the country since Almost a year and a half.
Among the brilliant names chosen that should be referred to by Thousand Banan, the name of Dr. Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, Minister of Finance, Mrs. Suha Dawoud Al-Najjar, Head of the National Investment Authority, and Mr. Mustafa Ghaleb Makhaif, Governor of the New Central Bank, are the golden triangle in the prime minister’s options for the political and economic reform process to rescue Country.
It is the responsibility of the Central Bank of Iraq in this important triangle to control the economic and monetary rhythm in particular in the country, after a series of failures that occurred in previous periods that led it to the inability to distribute salaries and general cash scarcity in a dangerous precedent that no Iraqi government has faced since 1921 to present.
It must be noted that this choice in this critical period is considered a successful milestone blow recorded to the Prime Minister that opens up bright and broad horizons for the work of the Central Bank and draws great hope to change the stumbling economic conditions of the country by following a precise financial policy, the first signs of which were important decisions in changing the structure of monetary and commercial dealings by adopting the principle of dealing Electronic financial (credit card) and moving away from paper cash (banknotes) in paying state employees’ salaries, which will be automatically transferred to their accounts, leading to transferring all daily payments and purchases to this system, similar to that of the developed countries of the world.
As well as setting up an electronic platform for all letters of guarantee issued in banks for the benefit of their customers in order to avoid the forgery and manipulations that occur in this important aspect of commercial and banking dealings.
And following the directions of the Minister of Finance and his support and encouragement for the idea of moving industry and national investment by facilitating lending to existing factories and factories to develop their production, and new industrial projects in order to employ the Iraqi workforce and develop the local product, which will be reflected in maximizing the general national product.
We raise the hat high to the Prime Minister on these delicate choices of people of experience and confidence and the promotion of high government positions with such names with high professional and administrative competence.
We wish success, success and repayment to the leaders of the Iraqi economy in their difficult mission, which, God willing, will undoubtedly succeed. LINK
