    Interview conducted by the Los Angeles Times U.S. with Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki


    - Baghdad - 17/4/2010


    Times: anyone looking to Iraq and compares it to what it was four years ago, will realize that many things have changed, and the achievements that have occurred over the past four very large, how do you see the future of Iraq and the achievements that you have, and the political situation?

    Prime minister: The future of Iraq is linked to the development of democracy in the country and whatever the difficulties the field, it will be easy if life continues to democracy and freedoms, and important for us that Einzlq the country and return again to the atmosphere of dictatorship and the rule of the same community and national one and one-party, so I'm optimistic about the future of Iraq through my knowledge of satisfaction the Iraqi people for the exercise of democracy, and if there were some issues and trouble is something natural in a modern era of democracy and I think that the country was moving rapidly towards stability, towards the adoption of the principle of citizenship as a basis for building the state, but this needs is known as the democratic countries of the time, and can achieve this objective, accomplishments achievements are significant and substantial, including the principle of national reconciliation between the components of People's Sunnis and Shiites killing each other, I have finished this phenomenon because of an act of national reconciliation is an ongoing project for us, and our success the other is to reject the sectarian principle of dealing with the state and the result of this rejection, although there are some sectarian retrenchment in the electoral lists, but they all talked about the lists and lists of national, not Shiite or Sunni.

    That our achievements which should preserve it is to disarm the militias and the inventory of arms in the hands of the State, in addition to achievement TNA at the level of return of national sovereignty and the signing of the withdrawal of foreign forces that necessitated the principle of sovereignty as well as it provided a good opportunity for Iraq through the framework of the strategic relationship with the United States and this what we want to prove it constantly to build a positive relationship well between Iraq and the U.S., as well as achievements on the economy and oil contracts and contracts for electricity and improve the living conditions and reducing the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, which was the country is suffering, and most importantly of all this strides we have made on the road to stability of the state and Asagrar the political process, remained to us from not believe in the political process or thinking with the mentality of the former regime and the political process through the power draw and kill, but they narrowed their circle to the extent that they could not do something, a stable political process on the basis of democracy and not on the basis of force.

    As for the current situation after the elections that took place, we believe it is election of destiny and despite some problems in the process of counting for the elections, but that things are conducted in accordance with the law and not outside the law and what it says law adhered to by all, and on to ratify the Commission and the Federal Court will end all the controversy and this is one of the positives from the stage , when we disagree in such a crucial issue to go to law and Shall we go to the violence and confuse the security, and the endorsement of the results will have a government of national partnership, do not want to keep away from any component of the political process and social participation and dialogue open with all those who participated in the election and they want the partnership, these trends are the guarantees for a stable and independent Iraq is growing on the road to democracy.

    Newspaper: If the Federal Court did not agree on the manual recount then what?

    Prime minister : Commit ourselves to say the Federal Court or the judiciary in the commission and if it deemed count partial or count the total also welcome its resolution as the justice above all Alkhalava T, it is important that the 76 entities, individually and collectively have made appeals to the electoral process is to eliminate what it says on the Elimination binding for all, those provided their evidence, the court must consider the evidence of acceptance or rejection, I confirm that should not be afraid of this process, it is also among the mechanisms of democracy to this it had won in the largest democratic countries in America and on differed went to count and Alffersaledoi in competitive elections between Al Gore and Bush , how and we are a young democracy is quite normal to get this, and even no longer be in the minds of voters of Iraq that its votes where he got his rig must go down this road until we finish this crisis, I'd settle down the street and recognize and say that these results are, the more I care about where change because this process if not resolved by legal means will remain wound bleeding and a cause of strife along the line.

    Newspaper: to be formally accepted or legal?

    Prime minister : We accept the result and what it says the judiciary should be recognized.

    Newspaper: you only candidate for prime minister, you agree to any other position and how do you see that the work of the Prime Minister in the subsequent phase?

    Prime Minister: This issue, when deducted from the rival blocs would accept the results and to serve the country and the people can not be confined to the position of prime minister or the Minister with this lucky big in the nomination of this site, but it does not mean he can not provide the service from elsewhere in the country, especially that on the menu that I lead, the rule of law then ten local governments in the ten provinces and we have 90 seats in Parliament and is a big number.
    Times: Do you say 89 or 90?

    Prime Minister: No 90 can be increased and become more than this, the issue is not important to be just the service through a single address.

    Paper: the best position you to be in the government is the Prime Minister and of course, depends on things and discussions that occur, what do you want to offer the country in the next four years?

    Prime minister : It is not as important in itself for me but its significance may be because I started the process of repairing and building and change in various areas of security, political, economic and may need updating to keep the prime minister ..

    Newspaper: you Zartm channel free two days ago I said I wish that Iraq does not return to the sectarian quota system, but the country has not yet reached this stage?

    Prime minister : Yes, we are our ambition to end up on the principle of sectarian or national, must continue to work in order to reach this goal we have made great strides along this path, but still significant effort is required to the strongest that The call to the government of national partnership is a stage intermediate between the quotas and the principle of citizenship , and as such was inviting me to Iraq to participate in the government and dialogues, and for inviting me to the rest of the blocks and menus to participate in this dialogue to form a partnership and not a government benefits, without exclusion of any list, whether Iraqi or coalition of national or coalition Kurds Stani, everyone is invited to participate in the government, of course, according to the guidelines Agreement and dialogues.

    Continued ......

    Times: Iraq is resolved by many problems, but what is the reason that you see in the lack of access to progress in order to reach this stage?

    Prime minister : No, I'm for Aacol we did not move forward, we have a lot and I told you the hit of sectarian militias and terrorism, and launch oil investment and services, these are all we have achieved, but the transition from the atmosphere of dictatorial former Joe and fully democratic requires time and multiply this example, things that require more time, some components are afraid of a return to the past to do that is very cautious about such as the Kurds and Shiites fear return of the past on the basis of sectarian or nationwide for that show great restraint in the political process as there are ambitious is probably uneven, or ambitious, the Shia for example, want big things and Sunnis want big things , Kurds, want big things, these need to process the order first and to reassure the fear and the Atakavo the return of the dictatorship, second, that no think that they take more than it is for you and convince everyone, including Shi'ites, and most of you this does not mean you you judge the country, these need to be something of the time until you reach the convictions, but that has been made of convictions is very large, people today are talking about citizenship, they never talk about Shiites and Sunnis.

    Times: Yes, this of the great achievements made by ..

    Prime minister : Achievements of the Iraqi people and achievements of suffering as the suffering of the people were great and makes it looks forward to the one finds people of the phenomenon of murder, kidnapping, and perhaps to reconcile, we were able to be the focus of the representation of people's willingness to reject sectarianism, even if we have done nothing towards the Shiites or Sunnis entered the country in a sectarian war real civil so she was our critical and very sensitive and challenges of large required of us and I am Shia, I confront the Shiites to reassure Sunnis that they are in their country and to reassure the Kurds that the killing and chemical weapons and the Anfal and the abduction of children and women will not return to card Stan, this was necessary.

    Times: Do you Stalnon Front coalitions between the state of law and the National Coalition?

    Prime minister : Ask the ongoing Aadri that would have declared the front or agreement or the formation of a unified bloc, but an understanding to form the biggest bloc, and this does not mean that coalitions when united will be away from the dialogue with the Kurdistan Alliance and with the Iraqi and compatibility, but the law authorized the formation of parliamentary bloc, the largest and the right of each block The move to form a target and that right is not only for the two coalitions, but also for other lists of Iraqi and Kurdish coalition and the consensus that the act and this is the value of democracy and freedom.

    Times: List of Iraq before the election says that the largest parliamentary bloc, formed a government after the election has changed this position in 2005 they say they have the large parliamentary bloc in parliament that a government is formed after the election but changed their minds?

    Prime minister : They expect and are entitled to expect to be the biggest bloc in terms of getting more than 164 seats, but the results were up to 90 and confronted with the issue, which we face and the face that we did not form a cluster that exceeds the quorum 163 and this means they need to go to find the ally will make them a quorum We need to go search for those supplements have a quorum and that this endeavor was based on our understanding, I've been the writing of the Constitution and the interpretation of Almjkmp Federal, which is very natural that the cluster formed in the parliament, so the joy of Iraq's limited week Ooaql.
    Times: How is the relationship with Iraq we met with Iyad Allawi, a provocative way he has treated the Prime Minister or a list of the rule of law, how is the relationship with her now?

    Prime minister : We have relationships and conversations with many members of the Iraq, to come and speak and are looking yes, with brother Dr. Allawi No, either way the provocative Every man his own way in dealing as they combine to create a personal and create a political Every one chooses his way of dealing and to deal with the other, but we are not talking as Estpzhm Whether it is for the person of Dr. Allawi's list, or because they remain partners in this country and that they must take responsibility and take their rights.

    Times: Is it possible that there will be a dialogue with him soon?
    Prime minister : No red line for the dialogue, but wait for the right opportunity for dialogue.

    Times: As I reported to you that we have met with Allawi last week and told us that the list if Iraq did not lead the next government will receive in the areas of violence and a return to violence and instability, especially in Sunni areas?

    Prime minister : First This statement gives voice on the political awareness or concern and with it the threat and that is what we warn him that the government will not be those who believe that the road to power through violence, secondly, does not have a decision to expel the year of the political process and the Iraqi List, which more than 75-74% of children year and certainly will take their place the appropriate House of Representatives or the ministers Aonowab President or Vice Prime Minister and this means that is not justified to go towards violence, but who used violence and keep it from al Qaeda and the Baath Party and they both gave them the government or did not give them something they exercise power.

    Newspaper: The circumstances in 2006 are multiple militias, each party has a militia and the presence of the Americans and the sectarian fighting, how I was able to strike a balance between all these things and save the country and become a national leader in your country.

    Prime minister : The truth is that the logo that we offered from the beginning to impose law and benefits this logo to impose law and the rule of law and strike all those who deviate from the law and Chana culture of national unity, we collected between the response to the outlaws of any party and spread the culture of law and culture of the state and the culture of responsibility.

    Here I come back to confirm if we Anhzna to a party either to the Sunnis or the Shiites to what was the country but was going more in the direction of violence, but address according to the assets of the law gave the letters to the Shiites and the Sunnis, that only the area until you abide by the law, this plan strategy in dealing either Indeed, the tactical military planning was whether to increase the number of members of the armed forces and the police and the high degree of coordination with U.S. forces and coalition forces at the time, and use the best Altkikat to pull lots of powerful militias and criminal gangs and al-Qaeda and our plan was successful and unsuccessful.

    Times: At that time she developed Office of the Adjutant General of the Armed Forces and the Office of Information and National Security Bureau and the Baghdad operations with little support from Americans, how I was able to run these offices to control the situation?

    Prime minister : In fact, he has the support of the Americans, great and good, whether at the level of support in the field or on the intelligence level and these institutions, some administrative such as the Office of the Adjutant General of the West is a military command, but it is administrative, I mean Mkhatabati with the security ministries conducted through the Bureau, which is not command and Information Office is the only process Majtsr give us information for the security services and military, and developed the concept of operational command provinces alone hot and where the forces and intelligence services, as in Nineveh and Anbar, Karbala, Basra and Diyala.

    Times: Iraqi people look to the prime minister as head of the Security achieved, what were your responsibilities as commander in chief of the armed forces in that difficult time

    Prime minister : Iraqi constitution is given to the commander of the armed forces the power management for the security operation, but not alone, but rather through the National Security Council in which the Ministry of Defence and Interior and National Security, intelligence and finance and foreign affairs, justice, and with the Baghdad Operations Command, those who were in the process of leadership and I'm responsible National Security Council , but the historical fact you stand the greater part because I need, first, of the National Council and the continued coordination between the security services and follow-up coordination with U.S. forces to the extent of follow-up field units in the movement and supervision on the process of building our forces and purge the army and police of the gangs and militias, so it was 24 hours for not enough

    Times: What is the hardest thing faced at that time?

    Prime minister : The hardest thing on the pool of dead bodies or heads chopped off the street or when the number of bombings in Baghdad to 25, suicide car and packaging, and on Al Qaeda and the Baath Party surrounding Baghdad and the region as a whole, Iraq between existence and nothingness, and his presence if we won on this and nothing if it did not win Therefore, I am at that stage left many of the functions of the State of Ministers and offices and turned to face this challenge and perhaps the most dangerous Mausbandna at that stage is the penetration of the army and the police because the militias and the Baath Party and al-Qaeda created a cell within the army and the police because of the error in the start-up and therefore people were killed and abducted in the police cars and army The biggest task is how to purify the army and police these gangs. "

    The bad old days with so many no one can remember, O worse and perhaps the second bombing, which happened to the shrine, it was for us a very embarrassing because it came close to re-sectarian again, and we took it actively political, social, military, and prevented a curfew so we took control of the situation.

    Times: How do you choose the right time to start operations in Basra?

    Prime minister : I had a remedial process for security work in Basra and set up operations command and sent senior officers but they failed to control the security and the situation worsens to a significant level even started Basra, migrate and leave Basra because of militia activity because they were killing women on the street and beat the mosques and the honorable and the control of ports, oil, Hence they said that we have no room for a few days, but if the government did not save us Fsnhajr.

    The problem is that the risk of the security situation in Basra was known to the American side, they believed that the issue needed to six months, we said not waiting for more than three days so we took the responsibility on our shoulders and we went by Iraqi forces to the challenge and had asked the U.S. military logistical support to aircraft, and the violent battle various types of weapons and we decided to withdraw a lot of the Iraqi army from the provinces and at the very act of militias there we had to leave the city with their hands and turn to the attackers was serving the armed forces and violent, forcing them to escape, and was the victory in Basra is the final victory of the militias, guerrillas, and another proof of the State law enforcement .

    Times: Iraqis know that the prime minister is very patriotic at the same time comes from a Shiite family and people who suffered at the time, al Qaeda has faced difficult was it to begin operations against Shi'ite militias?

    Prime minister : Certainly It was difficult for the general understanding, which was filled with sectarianism and the position is almost discordant to the crowd and sectarian, but my vision was clear .. if not I tackle the militias will not be able to respond to the base, but Sothm sectarianism, at the beginning it was a lot of Shiites opposed to hitting the militia, but when gone too far and started over the souls of the people, the state change of the situation and everyone started attitudes Shia supported the state of their actions and, by contrast, stability on the Sunni side and knew that the issue was not against them, when I see a Shi'ite killing people is blood on the issue of belonging and in response the blood of innocent people, murder killed by any party was issued against any party.

    Times: We met elements of Allawi's list and introduced us to the good Deccan, which was a member ofA In the previous Parliament and of the Commission visited the banner of Baghdad and talked about the abuse and torture What do you think the subject?

    Prime minister : Good Deccan says such things because he was detained at the Americans for a long time then started again committed the killings of the issues of sectarian and eliminate decided to lift his immunity, and now we can apprehended him, but we do not want to give the message that we take advantage of opportunities, therefore, his testimony unchallenged We have established a council investigative because it is contact with the prisoners and told them why acknowledged by the Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, Dhahm to deny their confessions to the judiciary and say we've been tortured, witnessed by a group of prisoners.

    Anicol for operations that never get abused or tortured because some of nature or a political objective harm to some of the detainees, but Amaagatna continuous and the Ministry of Human Rights held accountable for following up and proven by the prosecution.

    Was to me good Deccan once said that two women had been raped I told him give me the women and prison, and gave me the names and sent to the Minister of Human Rights and told her, Take with you gynecologist, go to prison and ask these women have gone to them by the Minister and I heard the denial of them for this, once told me that one young rape in prison, had sent the young officers in charge of the prison at night and excuse him to the house and the man was scared and I said, you attacked you and I swear that this is untrue, I'm told so far not been out to investigate, and when a person is sectarian, it is natural to lie and get such Thus things.

    Times: politicians who are working against you, say that the prime minister controls the Baghdad Brigade and a brigade combat terrorism?

    Prime minister : These suspects because I virtue of the powers under the leadership of the army and police, I can shake my band from south to north and vice versa I do not need to a brigade in Baghdad or the Rapid Reaction Brigade, but all these are subject to the National Security Council and ministries, and the issue of a brigade of Baghdad, is false, he is the banner of 56's band the sixth, a Ministry of Defence and he is working to protect the Green Zone and portlets when we received from the Americans, and the whole army is conducting as guidance means that sometimes send a force from Baghdad to Nineveh, and this is normal and within the contexts of security work, but alone withholds action, but is charged with the protection of entrances to the Green Zone, the army and police were arrests, according to information that comes from the intelligence services as they are american troops in Iraq, each unit doing their job and function and in an emergency situation as it is known.

    The paper: When you read in the newspapers that Maliki becomes a dictator and all your life struggled to fight Saddam Hussein, what sense?

    Prime minister : Very natural when you want to tamper with the militias and we hit them and when you want to al-Qaeda and sectarian Sunni and Shiites that stuff when we hit them and the behavior of political control of the ministries, it's only natural, because I stood up to the mentality of many politicians can say what about me?

    Who care what he says the Iraqi people because I'm a total voters in Baghdad, was destined to be a million or less the voice of the people, how people choose a dictator, at least get the 660 thousand votes of Baghdad, just because I'm their eyes begin some of those who wanted to play with the destiny of the people, even if I left them the option that stuff in Iraq, there would be too early to state meet with you to meet, I found the armies of the state or those struggling inside Iraq.

    The newspaper: "We hear that there are 430 detainees were transferred from Mosul to Baghdad brigade and Secretary of Human Rights found there is torture and told you this subject and ordered to close this prison?

    Prime minister : First, those who are not at the Baghdad jail are in the province and the prison is located in the banner of 56 under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice has put all prisons under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights to the prison by agreeing on a prisoners held there were transferred 200 prisoners to the prison of justice and was released 50 of them the lack of evidence and completed transactions 200 of them remaining, we have no problem that the volume of detainees more power of the judiciary that delayed operations to resolve the issues I have asked the Supreme Judicial Council to allocate judicial bodies additional to resolve the cases of detainees, both in the prison or other committees started work and will begin the assignment either to the courts A and the evacuation of the way, were also detained the officers overseeing the prison, which was named Wall of Nineveh, for investigation of the issue of violence against detainees and I think that some of the Baath Party and now they are being detained for investigation is recognized as the practice of torture brought to justice, and we brought the detainees to here because some of them released in exchange for money of money to something that is elimination of transferring them from Mosul to Baghdad even to n.okia under the judiciary in Nineveh to the existence of a bug and have asked the President of the Judicial Council for judicial reform in Nineveh because we are in operations or Rabiein arrested 3000 people because they are terrorist targets and the courts there have been released 2960 , leaving only 40 so it was terrorism, move freely, and were subject to control and eliminate the fittest situation.

    Times: Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister.

    Urgent / Manual recount of votes in Baghdad – source

    The judicial commission of the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) in Iraq decided on Monday noon to manually recount all votes in Baghdad.

    A leading figure of Dawlat al-Qanoon Alliance reported the decision to Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

    Earlier, Hayder al-Mulla – the official spokesperson of the Al-Iraqiya Alliance – said that the delay in approving the election results by the Federal Court shows attempts to affect the Judiciary’s independence to manipulate the results.

    “Iraqi Judiciary should deal with this critical issue in a professional way,” al-Mulla said in a release received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
    He noted that the Judiciary should perform its role under no political pressures.

    “Al-Iraqiya Alliance will not give away its constitutional right to form the new government,” al-Mulla stressed.

    He pointed out that Al-Iraqiya List’s nominee to hold the position of Iraq’s Prime Minister is Ayad Allawi.

    What concerns the stability of the dinar against foreign currencies?

    Perhaps the most important results that led to the monetary policy pursued by the CBI during the last three years, stability, witnessed by the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against foreign currencies, which in turn reflected on the levels of inflation, which has seen a decline is also remarkable.

    (Range economic) explored the reasons underlying this stability and ranges reflected in the short term and long term in the process of macroeconomic and economic stability desired.

    Successful monetary policy, but!
    Dr. Mahmoud Mohamed Dagher, a professor of economics at Baghdad University, said: "As you know Iraq is a rich country has a wealth of significant oil and then the proceeds of high oil allows the monetary authority represented by the Central Bank to intervene wide and the right time and the appropriate size to adjust the exchange rate means that the participation of the Central Bank through auctions conducted by continuous or by controlling the money supply can by him that determines the exchange rate by going the target exchange rate as inflation, the Iraqi currency is a currency pegged to the dollar and thus preserve is well known and stability during the past period, after fluctuating widely in recent years really impressed with the performance of monetary policy and the performance of the Central Bank, but at the same time must warn that over-defending the exchange rate under inflation seen the Iraqi economy in light of major fluctuation of the dollar could lead to depletion of reserves of Iraq and therefore must be a balance between the installation process target and between the exchange rate target and between the levels of inflation and the level of money supply, if stability was the result of the efforts of the monetary authority and independence of the policy in the Central Bank and if we come to the impact and the reflection of this stability on inflation.

    He Dagher: It is certainly to maintain a fixed exchange rate is the goal of all economic systems, especially in developing countries and the best thing I did monetary policy is to maintain a fixed exchange rate, but the problem in the Iraqi economy where inflation is not due to the Working Cash only, but back in the structural imbalance in the the Iraqi economy, and what I said and warned that to maintain and defend the fixed exchange rate through the large reserves that could ultimately lead to the dissolution of the relationship between the correction of structural desired and the exchange rate target, if we are able to control the imported inflation is relatively but the problem of inflation resulting from structural imbalance and isolation of the activities of industry, agriculture and services, leading to a shortage of aggregate supply was accompanied by a significant increase in aggregate demand, whether caused by public expenditure on such huge budgets or private spending caused by the high level of income in the economy of Iraq, if the level of aggregate demand in all Bnujih and aggregate supply is unable to catch up the total opening a channel of import wide if the inflation problem that was related to importing Authority cash is seeking to make the effort in the process of stabilizing the exchange rate, but inflation continues in the Iraqi economy because it is another matter not related to monetary authority only, but rather the actions the Ministry in the sectors of material capable of the promotion of agriculture, industry and services, or what we call the total supply to be able to rein in the size of aggregate demand financed spending rent.

    Shows Dagher: a need for the neutral monetary policy and independence with paying attention to the financial policy of a State or government policy is effective for revenue enhancement and sectors, but seven years of confusion in fiscal policy monetary policy had stopped them at the same level so I expect to maintain a high level of reserves and avoid wasting, so there must be a more flexible exchange rate or Sagvin the highest and lowest exchange rate move freely through them instead of the rigidity of the change process as well as to expect that monetary policy controls more on the money supply, especially when it is necessary to finance the general budget.

    As for Dr. Falah Hassan Thuwaini (College of Management and Economics) attributed the relative stability, the exchange rate against the dollar to the Iraqi central bank policy and support the International Monetary Fund explained:

    Not brought stability, relative to the Iraqi dinar exchange rate (not installed) against foreign currencies in the forefront of the dollar strength or strength of the Iraqi economy, which suffers from an imbalance evident in every detail of the joints of segments of different economic, but generated by the monetary policy of the Central Bank of Iraq and with support from the IMF International, has managed this policy (although some of the costs resulting from entering into) that generated a bit of confidence Confidence among individuals and institutions and other countries in Iraqi currency (especially in view of the competition and political instability and security), and this confidence is the most important element to determine the success or failure of any monetary policy, and was one of the images or forms of such trust is the disappearance of the black market or speculative undesirable consequences on the Iraqi dinar, although the concept of dollarization still imposes itself was the way the central bank in this context and within its means quantitative or indirect is the auction of foreign currency (been using it since October 2003) as a tool to intervene important and influential in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate, through which the bank can cope with the turbulence in the general level of prices through the control and cash flow management, as well as financing the private business sector, also contributed to increased cash balances back to Iraq the DFI DFI generated by oil revenues confiscated by foreign reserves management support and stability of the dinar exchange rate relative that may be an element of guarantee or attractive to foreign investments (despite the existence of binding international mechanism according to UN resolutions).

    The remaining changes in inflation and try to minimized to acceptable levels is an important point to be considered as one of the main objectives and themes of the Central Bank as well as being the first core functions that appear to behave as trends desirable as taken trends downward of 6% compared to previous years, but that the issue of control linked to variables outside the capabilities and functions of the monetary authorities stand in the forefront of nature to shake the Iraqi economy and reverse the capacity of local as well as seeking financial authorities ( Ministry of Finance) in the exercise of one of the functions Impoliticness a reduction of relatively high unemployment rate by adopting a policy Anfakip expansion required by the requirements of the current phase with limited aspects of traditional-revenue (taxes).

    Harmonization of monetary and fiscal policy
    The most important reasons that created the Stability and clear in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against foreign currencies from the viewpoint of Dr. Mohammad Saleh Al Kubaisi (University of Baghdad) were as follows:

    Sure that the policies of the central bank in currency auction daily attempts to stabilize the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against other currencies as there are policies that independence of central banks is one of the most important issues in the framework of research on the institutional framework , which helps monetary policy to keep inflation rates at levels Almtdnipvi medium and long-term means of independence here, freedom of the central bank in formulating and implementing monetary policy, without subjection to the considerations or political intervention does not mean independence by no means total separation between the central bank, the government and private bank in determining the ultimate objectives of monetary policy, where we can agree on these objectives between the Bank and the government and therefore The bank was looking for autonomy in determining the intermediate goals and to pursue the appropriate tools to achieve those goals with the need to maintain the greatest possible degree of harmony between monetary and fiscal policy ..

    For his part, Dr. Ahmed al-Wazzan (College of Business and Economics at the University of Mustansiriya): policy the central bank after 2003, when he got full independence and reduce the excessive intervention of the Government in its work because it is the highest monetary authority in the country and stated objective was to control the rate of inflation, and actually enable the central bank in this way that preserves to a large extent made the increase in price growth to be normal until almost 5% here, we can say that the central bank selflessly to preserve the stock of currency Alajunbp has and everybody knows there was a kind of government pressure to fund some of the oil contracts rejected the central bank and the procedures and many others helped to stabilize the exchange rate.

    On the impact and reflection of this stability on inflation also poses: the stability of the exchange rate meant the elimination of inflation, and inflation is a breakthrough in the rate of prices and if there is economic stability means to control inflation and thus if the control of the rate of increase in prices so they can be scaled inflation These results and a clear process to see the experts and with respect to changes expected and potential impact on monetary policy in the light of this stability, predictable fiscal policy on the run level is very difficult but it seems that officials in the monetary authority are fully aware of the experts and professors of theory of monetary fact that they must choose ways to lower the cost of Flaugod to solve the magic that fiscal policy is now in the government trying to swell the size of public spending means here a contradiction normal and called in the monetary policy other than fiscal policy, which calls for reducing such spending and most of the budgets that are placed from 50% to 60% because the policy of spending our Therefore, I am weak, I expect, especially in the new project to raise the raise the zeros of the value of the Iraqi dinar We look better than this project, God ..

    The Economist's view
    Economists say that a share of the Iraqis to answer questions about the economic term remarkable stability in Iraq through rate by d. Emad Mohammed Ali (Institute of economic reform Iraqi) said:

    Represents the exchange rate tool to link the domestic economy (domestic market) global economy (global market), and which can even price of the commodity in the domestic market with the price in the global market, and therefore must be based monetary authority to maintain the stability of the price it is which is the estimate all goods and services imported and applies it to goods produced locally through the comparison between prices, and as such sought monetary authority in Iraq of Iraq's central bank to focus on controlling the changes in the exchange rate Aldenarabraghi, they have taken the policy of currency auction a way to achieve this and that Since October 2003, a process of auctions daily for the currency, particularly the US dollar, has supported this trend and strengthened is mainly a decision to lift the economic embargo that was imposed on the Iraqi economy and the consequent increase in oil exports, Iraq's acquisition of its revenues in US dollars which support the volume of assets Central bank foreign and bone of its ability to achieve stability in the exchange rate, the Iraqi dinar and at the current level is known as 1170 dinars to the dollar have contributed to this stability significantly in dealing with inflation in Iraq, where it is known that the rate of inflation is a general rise, and continued the general level of prices, and it's associated inverse relationship with the value of the currency and thus When revaluation and stability will reflect a positive impact pressure on the inflation rates to decline, in spite of it, but monetary policy has failed to address inflation is real, because the causes of inflation are many and complex (especially those relating to public spending that are part of fiscal policy and a lack of coordination is very clear between the two policies of fiscal and monetary, which reflected negatively on most macroeconomic variables in Iraq), and treatment is limited to control the currency's value through auctions daily, which represents the other hand the pressure on Mojawadt the central bank and its reserves are expected to monetary policy is a significant improvement during the coming period, especially after examining the challenges faced in previous years for the management of this policy and how to best use and sound of their instruments and not just focus on exchange rate policy where the central bank that works in all directions which is the most prominent of the stability of the value of the domestic currency and international stability also rates the money supply, including work on the stability of inflation rates, while giving a strong push forward to Sellsp operating in the economy in order to raise economic growth rates, and certainly this needs to coordinate the full and complete with the financial policy to maintain the independence of the Central Bank.

    The economic expert Ghazi al-Kanani, said: "prudent monetary policy of the Central Bank is prepared for it combated stability of inflation, saying:

    Indeed, the monetary policy of the Central Bank was a prudent policy over the past years, or after the change from 2003 to now, she's empowered experienced and was able to fight inflation and this is the most important duties of central banks in the world, especially in Iraq and that inflation inherited from the previous regime where the Bank has used policy tools Cash to curb inflation by raising interest rates, reaching this interest to 20% on time Vamtst cash and worked at the same time banks to grant loans in the situation was serious and so does not help businesses to borrow because of the deteriorating security situation now, however, reflected policy to stabilize the security situation and the elimination of inflation, after the hard-line policy expansion has now cut interest rates to 4% for the central bank and this is one of the important factors which has helped stabilize the Iraqi dinar The second step is the cash reserves of the Bank and currently stand at 40 billion dollars this has enhanced the value of the Iraqi dinar Kmalk helped the Central Bank International Monetary Fund with the support of fiscal policy in the Ministry of Finance of its allocation of experts and training in all kinds of support to the International Monetary Fund only in the world was in its reform required to reduce Iraqi dinar exchange rate, despite of the warriors of many officials and members of Parliament raised the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, I think that a wise policy, although of Egypt's agricultural and industrial goods, because the truth industrial production stopped because of the policies of dumping and the lack of product, industrial and agricultural sectors of many factors, including high wages by a lack of fuel and energy of these factors affected the local product Iraqi ..

    Why central bank says?
    D. The appearance of Mohammed Salih, adviser to governor of the central bank's last stop on our tour of the main reasons that created the Stability and clear in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate after years of fluctuation against foreign currency, saying:

    Truth, how the stability of the dinar in this form back to the basis on which defended its exchange rate is the nominal exchange rate was four years ago, below the level of the real 25% was the percentage of inflation which the bank was selling dollars more expensive than the value of this was support commodity imported tradable expensive than the real value of 25% of what was estimated and reached to the value of Twaznip should match the nominal exchange rate with the real exchange rate that the central bank by monitoring the movement of the balance of payments and the statutes, the economic progress made in the balance of payments began equation should be have to improve the Iraqi dinar exchange rate by 25% and already starting to happen between mid-2006 to the end of 2008 where we left off at the junction is 1170 dinars per dollar of any is the point of convergence of the draw or equal to the nominal exchange rate with the real exchange rate, we believe that Nothing is absolute and that exchange rates have balanced, at this point in the process sucked the bank 25% of the inflationary pressures and inflation was the basis or the number of measurement in the consumer price minus fuel and transportation, which is the fluctuations of the public sector and limits the pressures of demand and not in the spending limits that was 34% of what we started Better Iraqi dinar exchange rate of this improvement sucked all these unjustified price increase, which works against the standard of living and against the Iraqi dinar and therefore sent down by the old policy, the foundation of any inflation of 6 % according to the policy on 3,4%.
