(01-01-2007) Iraqi Central Bank expecting budget deficit in 2007.
An official at the Iraqi Central Bank expected a deficit in the next-year budget due to pumping dollars into the local market, to preserve the stability of the iraqi dinar exchange rate.
Head of the Department of Statistics and Research at the "Central", Madhar Mohamed Salih, declared that the new budget will exchange allocations by the dollar, pointing out that the rise in the value of the iraqi dinar had a positive impact through limiting expenditures, to reduce inflationary pressures in the Iraqi economy and reduce costs on prices.
He pointed out that 95% of the budget incomes depends on oil revenues, as a basic resource for the country, pointing out that the coming conditions will be encouraging for lifting the value of the iraq dinar against the dollar, but could not determine the rate of exchange only after starting the work by the general budget.
The iraqi dinar continued to rise against the dollar during the auction of the "Central", at a sale price of 1352 iraq dinar last Sunday, compared to 1360 iraqi dinar last Thursday. The expert at the "Central", Majid Assuri, expected a remarkable improvement in the rate of the iraqi dinar, due to the low dollar exchange rate, over the next couple of months. The last rise in the rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar exchange rate was in 1995, but then the exchange rate stabilized between 1400 and 1700 iraqi dinar to the dollar.
The "Central" attributed the high rate of the iraqi dinar against the dollar, to the stability in the sale of the dollar below its real exchange rate. Assuri explained that the inflation suffered by the economy now is a price inflation, and not a monetary inflation, pointing out that the aim of the "Central" is to limit the effects of the monetary inflation. As for the price inflation, it is due to the lower commodity presentations, and to the greedy who exploit the circumstances through which Iraq is going. He expected a significant improvement in the rate of the iraqi dinar, and the drop in prices according to this improvement.

The Bank has adopted a new monetary policy in an attempt to improve the rate of the dinar against the dollar, according to a program prepared by the Ministry of Planning, in conjunction with the Iraqi Central Bank for the purpose of eliminating inflation rates in the local market.
