5 MILLION DINARS ......at a PR that is only 5,000 USD.

Would IRAQ Stock Market do all the legal & paperwork etc... for a trivial amount when a regional bank could do same ? Lots of contractors/ workers over there with 5,000 to invest, not as many walking around with 5MM. At a revalued rate it would be around 20MM.

They are putting it on the Stock Market to increase the value and to announce it publicly. imo

Issue number: 4311 Last modified: 11/14/2018 7:07:39 PM

Baghdad / follow-up range

Iraqi activists launched a campaign on social networking sites, to ridicule the announcement of the governor of the Iraqi Central Bank of 7 billion dinars ($ 6 million) in a government bank due to rain in 2013.

The governor Ali al-Alaq said before parliament on Monday, "7 billion dinars As a result of the entry of rainwater and sinking the coffers of Rafidain Bank in 2013, which led to the damage of banknotes by 100 percent.

And the circulation of writers, academics, journalists and Iraqi activists through the means of communication video speaking through the House of Representatives, and said that the rainwater in the country recently entered the coffers of Rafidain Bank and caused serious damage to banknotes stored, the Chairman of the House of Representatives "damage 100 percent ?! ".

"In this case, Rafidain Bank is requesting the replacement of these damaged banknotes by the Central Bank," he said, adding that the bank keeps documents proving the validity of the issuance of currencies that have been damaged.

He explained that in accordance with the regulations and instructions followed, the central currency is replaced by the currency when exposed to damage due to various incidents such as drowning, burning or anything else.

Al-Alaq pointed out that the losses do not actually mean seven billion dinars, but only include the value of printing the paper, which starts from two to four cents.

Local media have reported that the losses of the Rafidain Bank because of the rains amounted to ten billion dinars, and included damage to various categories of the local currency.

Activists on Twitter-Hatchag, nicknamed "# Drowning_7_Million", were quick to deride the comments, although he said the losses did not mean the loss of seven billion dollars, but rather the loss of the value of printing paper, which is up to 4 cents at most.

"The Prophet Joseph stored wheat for 7 years and what is damaged .. And the relationship with a rainbow of seven billion .. This they call money laundering .. Fear knows what."

Did you know my brother the citizen .. 7 billion dinars sank in the rain in Rafidain Bank and on the tongue of the Governor of the Central Bank and the reason "spend and destiny" sinking_7_ billion

Activists also published sarcastic images, while others went further, posting videos of practical experiments proving that the paper currency was able to withstand the water, in an attempt to question the statements of the relationship, where a citizen posted a video to try a 250-dinar coin and put it in your place In the water a full day and then put it in mud water to prove to the Director of the Central Bank on the major lie lie 7 billion dinars in the treasury of the Rafidain Bank because of rainwater

Another user said: "Yesterday was stolen 7 billion because the treasury is not water resistant, today is stolen 20 Billion because the treasury is not fire-resistant, tomorrow 200 million are stolen Yar because the treasury is not bulletproof, in conclusion the bank was completely stolen because the building fell due to strong winds.

The writer and poet Hamid Qassem scoffed at the incident, saying, "Is it a rainbow?" He added in a note on Facebook that "the central bank clues to the country (or Rafidain Bank in another novel) have holes in it (like you). "It has become 80 years since the bank was founded and we have not heard of the fines," he said. "You are not afraid of a sergeant or a wise man, because you are not afraid of a sergeant or an oppressor. In the name of religion, as you are masters, and the people are slaves of your enemy? "

Zain, who is the lost money, if Khashoggi's body disappeared? They mean they loot us and they laugh at us. "

Others said it was nothing more than an attempt to cover corruption. "A new way to steal," said another, while another said the whole subject was "lying" while another said: "Money laundering, money laundering. All this you find in the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq.

Another member of the Finance Committee in the Parliament, Ahmad Al-Haja Rashid, claimed the governor of the Central Bank Ali Al-Alaq, with data and special evidence about the sinking of 7 billion Iraqi dinars.

"We do not care about the amount, but the most important thing is the number of banknotes because they are the ones who determine the cost of the losses, not the amount written on paper," Rashid said in a statement.

The MP added:

He explained: "We asked the Governor of the bank to come next week all the data on this issue so that we know the extent of losses, and who is the culprit and whether the money was actually destroyed or there are other problems."

Asked about the quality of the currency being printed in Switzerland and its resistance to water, activists asked how it could damage the rain. MP said: "Actually, officials of the Central Bank talk during our previous meetings on the quality of the Iraqi currency, and that citizens have the right to this question and sometimes washed with clothes and nothing happens to them, and therefore we want to check this information."

"I am an economist. I do not care what the amount is, but the number of papers that have been damaged, because the cost is due to the number of banknotes and not the total amount of the local currency."

He added: "Each paper is printed in a certain amount of money, as the currency category of 50 thousand Iraqi dinars printed six US cents and this amount is collected on the number of banknotes damaged, not to mention the high cost, as the US currency category of one hundred dollars applied four cents link
