To be more outspoken this was the role of the Central Bank during the previous years is weak, and has accumulated over the years, many of the negative phenomena and practices, and under the pressure of the economic and financial crisis show the inherited imbalances in the form of serious problems and challenges. So we have to strengthen that role since taken over the task of the Central Bank and have taken several measures and steps toward the banks on the one hand, and through the strengthening of the supervisory system and supervisory On the other hand, we have with the help of the offices of international control in this regard, but it takes time to reap results.

Q: * When applied work company guarantee deposits and what type of deposits, as long as you mentioned the need to encourage people to save the government and the banks that it will contribute to resolving the financial crisis, the other side will be presented or what the move adds to the citizen?
A: - A project to establish a company to guarantee deposits is aimed at protecting the rights of depositors, younger ones especially, when the bank is exposed as to the insolvency or bankruptcy, so such a move would encourage people to deposit their money in banks because the phenomenon of having most of the money chunky far from the banking system houses hurt economy in the sense that if that money has been saved in the banks will turn into loans and facilities, including contributing to motivate and move the economy and the market, as well as the risk to keep this money in the home has offered to steal, not to mention the costs of dealing with cash instead of bank accounts.

Q: * Why the dollar is always high, and why do not you take action equating with the dinar, this leads to the stability of the market and cheap goods in the pan?
A: - Making the dollar equivalent of the dinar in the current situation means encouraging more imports and missed opportunities for the advancement of local production. It also means reducing the public budget revenues because the Ministry of Finance will get the lowest amounts of the dinar against the dollar, which it sells. The rise in the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market is attributable mainly on the supply and demand law, and the more the central bank responded to the demand for the dollar and covered it, the more to prevent a rise in price, and the closure of speculative opportunities in the market, and certainly there are other factors that play a role in the rise and fall of them, political stability and security and the rule of law, and the strength or weakness of relevant state institutions.
Q: * If the height is the reason for not selling the bank required quantities in the market, why the bank does not respond to the request?
A: - When oil prices are high revenue dollar is high also as it was in previous years, then the central bank can respond to those requests, and the flooding of the dollar as its inclusion Bank to its reserves, either when revenue dollar goes down because of lower oil prices, as is happening now, so do not enough dollars sold by the Ministry of Finance to the Central Bank, to meet the buyers' demands for the dollar, the central bank used part of its reserves to respond to those requests, and this is the role and function of the nature of Ctaati.lkn our problem is that many do not understand that when we sell and declining reserve a lot of talk and criticize happen the bank, and although aware of the bank that this is not practical and is not objective and intersects with the monetary policy requirements, but he was trying to find some kind of balance between the dam requests from the dollar and between maintaining a reasonable level of reserves in order not to get a psychological condition that may lead to anxiety and fear.
Q: * Import cars costing Iraq billions of dollars out of it. Is there an economical way to restore these funds, especially since Iraq does not need so many cars?
A: - The subject of imports and determine the goods and fees and the need of the jurisdiction of the government, not the central bank, Vdorena in this case, is to provide advice to the government, has repeatedly called as many have called for the need to adjust the imports and the development of curriculum Yearly Import Alert, with a strict application of the laws we have mentioned to protect the national product and the consumer.

A: - Making the dollar equivalent of the dinar in the current situation means encouraging more imports and missed opportunities for the advancement of local production. It also means reducing the public budget revenues because the Ministry of Finance will get the lowest amounts of the dinar against the dollar, which it sells. The rise in the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market is attributable mainly on the supply and demand law, and the more the central bank responded to the demand for the dollar and covered it, the more to prevent a rise in price, and the closure of speculative opportunities in the market, and certainly there are other factors that play a role in the rise and fall of them, political stability and security and the rule of law, and the strength or weakness of relevant state institutions.
