    A number of sources concerned with financial and banking affairs accuse the dominance of non-Iraqi banks in the foreign currency auction window of the Central Bank of Iraq, which has turned into a nightmare that is disturbing the Iraqi economy and exchange rates, as well as restricting the freedom of financial transactions for citizens.
    According to sources who spoke to "Baghdad Al-Youm", "For at least two years, the Central Bank of Iraq has been 'discreet' about the names of the banks participating in the foreign currency auction, amid accusations and information about the dominance of certain banks in the currency auction over others."
    Only 30% of banks dominate the central window
    She indicates - on the condition that her name not be mentioned - that, for example, there are more than 80 banks in Iraq, but the daily bulletin of the Central Bank’s sales shows that the number of banks participating in meeting cash requests ranges between 5 to 7 banks only, while the number of banks participating in meeting remittances does not exceed Foreign Affairs: More than 20 banks.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This means - according to the sources - that only 30% of the total banks in Iraq at most are dominant in the currency sale auction from the Central Bank of Iraq, which in turn is reserved and discreet about announcing the names of these banks.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]A "non-Iraqi" bank takes control
    The "ironic" name came from the fact that the National Bank of Iraq is owned by about 65% by the Capital Bank of Jordan. According to the same sources.

    Specialized circles believe that the dominance of a few banks over the currency selling window will make their profits greater. It will also reduce the amount of dollars on offer and increase the chances of “blackmailing” other banks, as these banks can participate in the currency auction by selling the dollar to banks that need the dollar at a profit margin.
    The policies of the Central Bank of Iraq led to widespread dissatisfaction in the relevant circles, whether at the level of economic experts or exchange companies, which considered that the Central Bank’s procedures were “blundering” and did not control the price of the dollar. On the contrary, its procedures led to a “scarcity” of the dollar in the market.
    While specialists believe that the Central Bank may be trying to “hide” the dollar from the market to prevent it from reaching areas deprived of the dollar, it has begun to commit violations that contradict economic logic and contradict financial and monetary freedom and the global banking trend, as the Central Bank began preventing many of those who have accounts and money in dollars in... Banks can withdraw it, according to the Lebanese method.
    Testimonies from citizens and bankers received by “Baghdad Today” confirmed that Iraqi banks, whether governmental or private, refrain from giving money deposited in dollars or transfers coming from abroad in dollars, to their owners, and force them to withdraw it in Iraqi dinars and at the official rate, which is much lower than the real price in the market. From 25 points.
