1,919 views Alsumaria News – Local The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed the reasons behind Iraq’s suspension of dealing in the Chinese yuan, while indicating that many of the Central Bank’s procedures are governed by American will.
Committee member Moeen Al-Kazemi said in a statement to Al-Sumaria News, “The US Federal Bank imposed on Iraq to stop dealing in the Chinese yuan, under the pretext that there was manipulation in some transfers or certain problems occurred, indicating that “Iraq’s money, as we know, is included in the US Federal Bank as a result of the sale of oil at an amount of 3.5 million barrels per day, and this money enters the Federal Bank and is not transferred to Iraq in cash.
It witnessed a transfer to Iraq through corruption transfers from the Central Bank and the Federal Declaration.”
Al-Kadhimi continued, “Many of the central bank’s measures are taken by the government with political will, and this will may be explained by administrative and financial reasons, not financing terrorism, and others,” and he announced that “the reasons are political with the aim of pressuring the Iraqi government.”
Is it possible to deal in Chinese currency?
Al-Kadhimi stressed that “the merchant and the Central Bank must have multiple options and not only deal in dollars, so this suspension is temporary and not permanent,” noting that “the committee will ask the Central Bank to address the issue and have a diverse price basket, so that the options are more for the Central Bank and Iraqi merchants.”
Al-Kadhimi stated earlier that “China’s remittances in the yuan currency have been temporarily suspended until auditing mechanisms are found.” He continued, “During the past period, there has been a great deal of manipulation of China’s affairs.” LINK

Secrets Of Smuggling Kurdistan Oil.. Has Iran Become The Second Largest Exporter In OPEC Using It?
Alsumaria Special 2024-07-12 | 1,414 views Alsumaria News – Special Everyone is talking about the smuggling of oil from the Kurdistan Region, and this talk is not new and has been going on for years.
However, for more than a year, specifically since the suspension of the export of Kurdistan oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan, the map of oil smuggling from the region has changed. Instead of exiting through Turkey, the oil is now exiting through Iran.
Also, the beneficiary now is foreign oil companies and “unknown” subcontractors, not the regional government, in a process that can be described as a “mysterious maze.”
Social media sites are flooded with electronic groups for tanker drivers, and there is a wide demand for tanker drivers to transport oil fromKurdistanTo the port of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, which is a very strange path.
Another indicator is that Iranian reports came out a few days ago, specifically in the city of Bushehr, conveying citizens’ dissatisfaction with the “suffocating congestion caused by Iraqi tankers loaded with oil and fuel,” in addition to major traffic accidents.
After all that, she cameReutersIn a lengthy investigation, she talks about oil smuggling routes.KurdistanAcross Iran, andTürkiyeAlso, but inTürkiye”In much smaller quantities and forms than Iran.”
According to the information, foreign companies operating in the region produceKurdistan350 thousand barrels per day, and these companies sell the produced oil to “subcontractors”, who distribute this oil or sell it to local refineries in a simple manner, and the other is smuggled at a rate of 200 thousand barrels per day, in a process that information indicates is carried out between foreign companies and contractors only, and has nothing to do with the government.KurdistanOr none of these revenues will enter the regional treasury, as it confirms.Reuters, as evidenced by data from foreign companies operating in the region.
But the selling price of a barrel from foreign companies inKurdistanIt is done at low prices, the price of a barrel of oil is sold for only $35, which means that foreign companies receive less than a quarter of a billion dollars per month, as subcontractors buy oil at these cheap prices, and in turn smuggle this oil.
This activity raises a lot of questions and question marks, the first of which is who are these subcontractors? How much do they sell the smuggled oil abroad for and how much do they profit from it? How do the tankers move from the oil-producing fields to the Iranian border? How do they enter?IranOfficially?
And where does this oil go? Since Iran is basically an oil producer, questions arise about whether Iran buys this oil at lower prices so that it can sell and export it to the world at the global price as Iranian oil, especially since Iran faces difficulties in developing oil production technologies.
Perhaps this matter clearly raises an explanation for how Iran became the second largest oil exporter inOPECAfter Saudi Arabia and removedIraqWithin a short period, Iran may have benefited from Kurdish oil for export and increased its share in the export market without the need to increase its oil production.
Another detail that can be taken into consideration is thatIraqHe has previously filed a lawsuit againstTürkiyeTo allow the passage of oilKurdistanAnd export it without approvalIraqHow can he deal with it?IraqWith Iran allowing the passage of the region’s oil by tankers through its territory to the port of Bandar Abbas?
