1. Summary [1]
This paper discusses the role of the Iraqi Central Bank's policy toward the Iraqi dinar exchange rate [2] In particular, cash and area in general, contain inflation and calm the rates of increase in the general level of prices, including believes the ultimate price stability. The paper explains that the heavy reliance of the Iraqi economy on imports makes the Iraqi dinar exchange one influential variables in the path of the general level of prices in Iraq as a laboratory, which turns whereby prices of imported goods to the local currency prices price. But success in calming the rates of increase in the general level of prices in recent years is not due only to decrease the rate of exchange (ie, improved value of the dinar measured in foreign currencies); but thanks in also to the large expansion in imports and thus in the commodity supply, which became possible by mutations in the large oil revenues and the demise of the blockade restrictions on Iraq. The paper shows that the control of the exchange rate is not sufficient in itself to contain inflation and to ensure price stability, also warns that the exchange rate is close to exhausting its potential in the course of the general level of prices of control, and that the large rise in aggregate demand resulting from the broad jumps government spending puts the economy on just around the corner or lower than the point at which you start the limited available capacities for the production of goods or semi-tradable, and in particular the infrastructure capacities, to impose severe restrictions on the expansion of commodity supply, which converts it to broadcast spots inflation in all aspects of the economy. Paper and go to the heavy reliance on oil revenues to finance government spending, take away a lot of monetary policy effectiveness in influencing aggregate demand and give fiscal policy a very important role in determining the path of macroeconomic variables, including the general level of prices. As the Iraqi Central Bank to focus on controlling the path of the exchange rate, and less on foreign exchange reserves, transforms the basic instruments of monetary policy, and the offer of cash and interest rates, to a subsidiary variables.
