Baghdad Today" Is Investigating The Presence Of The "Israeli Dollar" In The Iraqi Markets

2,182 Economie 07/09/2022 22:24  Baghdad today – Baghda Informed sources revealed, on Wednesday, the fact that the Israeli dollar entered the Iraqi market, indicating that

influential mafias are working on smuggling and counterfeiting currency.  The sources said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that

"counterfeiting foreign currencies is a global phenomenon that most countries suffer from in light of the presence of mafias with great capabilities,

but the use of advanced security means contributed to reducing the rate of counterfeiting by a high percentage, especially for hard currencies, including the dollar in the past years."  She added,

"Talking about the entry of the so-called Israeli dollar, which is the most famous and complex type of counterfeit edition, is inaccurate,

but there is actually a promotion of counterfeit money, whether foreign or Iraqi currencies, and it is followed up.

Some networks have been dismantled in the past months and money has been seized."

As for Khalil Al-Rashidi, owner of exchange offices, he said,

"Forgery of foreign currencies is developing greatly because it is run by large international mafias, and

we do not rule out that part of the amounts of counterfeit money entered the markets, especially since there are networks to market it."  Al-Rashidi added,

"Most of the exchange offices deal cautiously with foreign currencies and have experience in detecting counterfeit through some machines,

but there are actually very complex editions with very advanced counterfeiting tracks, which requires more efforts to detect it."   https://baghdadtoday.news/ar/news/200005/بغداد-اليوم-تتقصى-عن-وجو

An Economist Explains The Nature Of The Defect In Central Bank Sales And Financial Transfer

September 7 09:22  Information / Baghdad...

The economic expert, Mustafa Akram Hantoush, explained the nature of the defect in the central bank's sales system and the financial transfer of foreign currency.

Hantoush told Al-Maalouma that

"the central bank sells daily more than 200 million dollars as a level within 4 months, of which 25-30 million goes to the local market, while the remaining 170 million goes to foreign remittances for the purpose of import."  He added,

"The problem lies in the open credits through which funds are transferred, so that the goods enter Iraq or not, the Central Bank is not aware of it, and

this is one of the biggest mistakes, as there is coordination and linkage between the Central Bank and the Remittance Department and the Customs Authority in most countries of the world."

The credit is opened and the money is placed in the credit trust account until the goods enter the country and

a signal is given to the customs that it has entered the required specifications so that the amount is transferred from the documentary credits trust account  to the executed documentary credits account.  Hantoush pointed out that

“Iraq adopts direct accreditation so that the goods enter or do not reach the country, the competent authorities do not know whether the money has arrived or not, and

this falls within the door of money laundering and corruption, and therefore

Iraq urgently needs to link the customs authority with the central bank in order to legalize matters and prevent Transfer of funds in documentary credits except after the goods enter Iraq.
