Baghdad / Obelisk: The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed, on Monday, May 31, 2021, that Iraq’s monetary policy will maintain the stability of the exchange rate, while noting that the current account of the balance of payments is free of deficit, but rather there is an expectation of a surplus in the future.

Saleh said in a press interview followed by “The Obelisk”, that the reduction of the national currency against the dollar was based on a one-time decision, and that the country adopts a fixed exchange system, stressing that there is an equation between the theory of exchange rate adjustment and the deficit in the current account of the balance of payments relative to GDP. .

He added, that whenever the deficit increases by 4% or more, an adjustment or reduction is made in the external value of the currency to avoid a deterioration in external payments, pointing out that Iraq currently does not suffer from a current account deficit, but rather there is stability and balance, expecting that there will be a surplus in the future. Relative to the gross domestic product, in light of the positive developments in the oil markets and the positive improvement in Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves.

He stressed that monetary policy will maintain the stability of the exchange rate in the present circumstance.

On December 20, the Central Bank of Iraq decided to reduce the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, bringing the price of 100 dollars to 145 thousand dinars, after it was 122 thousand Iraqi dinars.

Private / National News Center 

Today, Monday, the World Bank in Iraq launched the Human Development Report (Iraq Public Expenditure Review).

The Bank discussed the government’s response to address deficiencies in human capital indicators within the framework of a roadmap towards structural reforms to reconsider the human development model in the education and health sectors in Iraq.

The President of the World Bank in Iraq, Ramzi Numan, said in a statement to the “National News Center” on the sidelines of the forum launching the report that “the report launched by the World Bank today sheds light on public spending indicators in the fields of human development, specifically in the fields of education, health and social protection.” , Adding that “the seriousness of the issue enables that the indicators that are viewed by the World Bank are low indicators in these sectors, especially that Iraq had important indicators in previous years.”

Numan pointed out that “the report focused on the public spending side, especially since the previous budgets allocated to these sectors are very low if compared to the budgets of other important sectors, but we are looking forward to developing important sectors related to the future.”

He stressed that “solutions cannot be focused on a specific sector only, but there must be an integrated process, 
wondering what is happening with the issue of public spending on salaries, how can we reduce that and give budgets to other sectors in order to improve the private sector, increase investments and stimulate the environment for the private sector.”

Numan revealed “a set of reform matters that allow strengthening these sectors and improving the reality of spending on them, as well as the existence of a strategic direction at the state level in the issue of spending and reform and a practical and technical direction at the level of other sectors.”

He noted that “the report also discussed aspects of public spending on vital human development sectors and the Iraqi government’s response to address deficiencies in the formation of human capital, as well as a roadmap towards structural reforms to reconsider the human development model.”
