Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief Adel Abdul Mahdi held a meeting on Thursday night with Fayyad and leaders in the Popular Mobilization (Hashd) to discuss the repeated bombings in Hashd camps in different parts of the country.

Four bases used by the Popular Mobilization have been hit by mysterious explosions over the past month, the latest of which took place on Tuesday evening at a headquarters near Balad air base north of Baghdad, which houses US military personnel.

The deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Council, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, on Wednesday, the United States bombed the crowd camps, pointing out that his forces will respond with “more sophisticated weapons.”

The United States has previously denied any role in the PMF bombings.

There were reports of Israeli involvement in these operations, without any direct accusation being made in this regard, and without any claim of responsibility.

An explosion at the al-Saqr base near Baghdad on August 12 was caused by an airstrike by a drone, the government commission said Wednesday.

IMF: Trump’s policies will not correct trade deficit

BEIJING (Reuters) – The United States imposed tariffs on China and weakened the dollar by cutting interest rates will not correct the trade deficit, economists said on Wednesday.

In an unusually frank language, experts ‘views appeared to target US President Donald Trump, who has called for the Federal Reserve to continue to cut interest rates to weaken the dollar and stimulate the economy, as well as impose a set of tariffs on China to reduce the deficit, which he describes as’ theft’.

The IMF’s chief economist, Gita Gopinath, stressed that US policies are counterproductive and will not produce the desired results and will slow the global economy.

Gopinath warned in a blog titled ‘Taming the Currency Flurry’, prepared in collaboration with IMF researchers, Gustavo Adler and Luis Copedo, that ‘mutual tariff increases are unlikely to reduce trade imbalances, because it mainly leads to the diversion of trade to other countries’. .

“Instead, these steps are likely to hurt domestic and global growth because they will undermine business and investment confidence, disrupt global supply chains, and raise product and consumer costs,” she said.

She pointed out that any plans to weaken the value of the US currency ‘difficult to implement and will probably be ineffective’, adding that putting pressure on the central bank will not achieve that goal.

The authors also warned that ‘should not pay much attention to the view that easing monetary policy will weaken the country’s currency in a way that leads to a permanent improvement in the balance of trade’, stressing that ‘monetary policy alone will not lead to a permanent devaluation of the currency, which is necessary to achieve That result, especially in 12 months. ‘

Trump has imposed stiff tariffs on Chinese goods worth 250 billion dollars and plans to impose new tariffs on imports of 300 billion dollars in two more rounds on Sept. 1 and December 15.

Though the IMF and others warned that Trump’s trade war was slowing global growth, and with signs of a possible contraction in the US economy, Trump had stepped up attacks on the Fed and China.

Last month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) again lowered its outlook for global growth and said trade tension would make 2020 risky as tariffs could further slow China’s economy.

IMF warns governments against currency interventions aimed at improving trade balance

Date of edit:: 2019/8/21 18:22

The International Monetary Fund warned on Wednesday against governments seeking to weaken their currencies through monetary easing or market intervention, saying it would damage the functioning of the global monetary system and cause suffering to all countries.

The IMF said in a post on its blog, which comes as bankers from global central banks prepare to meet this week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that policy proposals for the use of monetary easing and direct purchases of currencies of other countries are unlikely to be effective.

“ One should not strongly believe in the view that easing monetary policy can weaken a country’s currency enough to achieve a continuous improvement in its trade balance through a diversion in spending, ” said Gita Gopinath, chief economist at the IMF and IMF researchers Gustavo Adler and Luis Copedo. Monetary policy alone is unlikely to produce significant and sustained reductions in the value needed to achieve that result. ”

Economy News – Baghdad

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani sent a bill to parliament on Wednesday to remove four zeros from the value of a nation’s currency, which has been hit by severe financial sanctions.

The “Associated Press” quoted semi-official news agencies that Rouhani will send the bill to parliament for consideration in a hurry.

The Iranian rial has faltered because of the effects of heavy US sanctions on the country since President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal more than a year ago.

The value of one dollar in the trading markets today 116500 riyals.

At the time of the signing of the nuclear agreement in 2015, the value of the dollar was 32 thousand riyals, but the recent US sanctions made it deteriorate significantly.

The Iranian government approved in early August the deletion of four zeros from the rial, and the adoption of “Altoman” alternative currency.

Government officials said the move would make the Iranian currency “more effective”, they said.
