Jamal Al Ajili, director of foreign remittances, in an interview with "the world" yesterday, said that "most of the savings of Iraqi citizens are currently in dollars, not Iraqi dinars, which is still a source of concern to him in case of different exchange rates of foreign currencies."

And the reasons for the high value of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar during the past few days, Ajili refers to "high demand for the dollar in the Iraqi market, which began preparing to provide all the needs of the agricultural sector."

Explains by saying "after the state bought all the local production of crops of wheat, barley, and prices high in support of the segment of farmers, beginning farmers to transfer what is received from the state of the dinar to the dollar and buy cars and harvesters, seeds, and fertilizer and everything it needs."

And confirms Ajili that "this sudden demand will increase the value of the dollar, especially if we know that 80% of the volume sold in the auction the Central Bank is intended for foreign remittances, here becomes the proportion of the remaining 20% ​​is sufficient to meet local market needs."

The price of the dollar on Thursday, in the currency auction run by the Central Bank, about 1170 dinars / dollars and did not specify the purchase price for a lack of offers for sale by the shareholders, while the total size of the amount sold by the bank 188 140 000 dollars.

"

And on the impact of the global financial crisis on the Iraqi economy, says Ajili "Most transactions of the Iraqi market is now with the outside, and are specifically through banks Arab Emirates that are affected on a daily basis any fluctuations in global and reflect on its dealings with Iraq or any other country," he said, adding that "banks GCC always trying to convert the loss of customers, including Iraqis, for example, resorting to raise interest rates or raise the rates of withholding. "

He believed Ajili that lifting the zeros from Iraqi dinar would lead to increased confidence in local currency, explains "After you delete the zeros will drop the phenomenon of trading blocs, the large cash used by Iraqis since the nineties," noting that "some countries have started to deal in Iraqi dinars, during the transformative amounts of both Iran and the UAE , Syria, Jordan and Egypt, asking me the other side as the customer wants to receive Hwalth also dinars, and this means that the dinar is available with large quantities. "

In turn, denied the central bank fears of market transactions, they are not nothing compared to auction the currency, which has kept the selling price fixed for more than six years and is a great achievement, "according to the appearance of Dr. Mohamed Saleh, a senior official in the bank.
