This was the main issue in the problems the government and the Bank, we have explained to the government that the existence of this reserve or knows lid currency is something essential in maintaining the value of the dinar and not volatility, and if the government had no projects Felt_khass its resources ", and stressed that the reserve bank" is a reserve of all Iraqis and not the right of the government to act by "also stressed the importance of the independence of the Bank for the government to maintain the money of the Iraqi people from the claims of creditors of the government and assured that the bank reserves locked in the most important banks in the world.
He added Shabibi that "the central bank, despite economic instability in the world, helped in achieving financial stability and price stability in the exchange rate, and the stability of payments and the general economy of the state, but the government did not take advantage of this development, and this of course is a big mistake, because the bank put a solid ground to build The government did not exploit development, the bank was not the obstacle also accused parties in the political process, and officials should not deny the role of the bank in this case. "
The Shabibi "The other issue is the auction of foreign currency, and every word that goes around is how much is the share of the person or how much we can give to the Fulani of the currency, and this is a mistake in taking Multi currency auction in this way, because the auction is monetary policy so put in the hands of Central Bank, and this monetary policy to withdraw the Iraqi currency and thus reduce pressure on prices and give value for currency printing, and secondary goal last her, and when imports by the people to use these resources and lower printing, although the goal of the bank is essential to the reduction of the level of printing, so the auction of foreign currency is monetary policy, not trade policy, and noted that each of the accused Central Bank but accused him in the business side, and the central bank has nothing to do commercial operations, but the bank deal and gives money to someone who has an account in a bank and wants to modify his money in Iraqi dinars, and we are trying through that make the Iraqi dinar hard currency, and need not to provide the dollar as long as the backup is available, and if not available for our dollar in that case raise the price, and this process must be understood by the government and citizens central bank systems currency auction for the purpose of development and not for the purpose of commercial, If some politicians wanted to direct charges to the Central Bank should they have to make a distinction between the central bank and commercial banks. "
Shabibi noted that "central bank's relationship commercial banks are very good, but at the same time we take the information incomplete, and there is no central bank in the whole world oversees the development of commercial banks and their work in a comprehensive and holistic, though the work of the Central confined to the question of commercial banks and confirmed that accounts are not used in money laundering or in support of terrorism, and therefore work is done and the agreement between the central banks and those on the basis of this. "
He denied Shabibi any link to the Bank of laundering money and said, "until this moment has not been news Bank and senior management in any process of money laundering, although some parliamentarians say the department money laundering gather some information, but in fact that information about irregularities banking and not for money laundering operations, and the Department of money laundering is responsible if there is a suspicion of money laundering. "
Shabibi stressed that "suspicions and charges of the Central Bank is real though the bank's employees are the best staff and the most integrity and all of them are honest in relation to treating professional."
"The data is in respect of each dinars income of the bank or out of him since 2004 until now, and all files concerning the process of the transfer and the currency conversion of Iraq to foreign or vice versa, or income in the accounts of the government also all present, and I was very upset by the charges to the Bank and its staff, and very upset to leave suspicious institutions working to discredit the bank, which is one of the most well-known state institutions good reputation all over the world. "
He Shabibi that "the main problem of the bank is to not approve the bank to fund the government of using the reserve, which represents the force supporting the currency is the budget financing of the Central Bank is only used in cases such as currency auction or in the case of an economic crisis the country can this reserve to face and support by the state also should be used only in the event of an interruption of the production process where the reserve is used to support the import, so if we used reserve Fsnather in currency exchange rate, these technical things did not want to listen to it the officials in the government. "
In response to a question about the opinion of the World Bank and the Organization of the International Monetary recent actions taken against him and the right of the central bank and the dismissal of officials in the bank to conduct contrary to the Constitution, said Dr. Shabibi "The World Bank and the IMF as organizations international them views even if they are personal, but they take into account the sensitivities political relations between the countries, and certainly have an opinion as observers to put cash on the international level and facing corruption. "
The answer to the question whether there was a failure in the work of the bank and what are core charge against him, Shabibi said "despite all what was raised there was no shortening of the central bank, but there are issues with the government on the basis of which the government took actions violent, such as the issue of reserve bank of funds which are present and there are progress reports from time to time and to the Parliament in order to follow up the work of the bank. "
On the lack of change to the sell the currency said that Committee members were competent and honest "If they with efficiency and integrity in the work there is nothing wrong that remain in their work," said Shabibi said members of the bank's board solidarity in responsibility and decisions contribute to it all, "and there are meetings almost daily Advanced cadre, and not, as claimed by the government of not meeting or supervising the work of employees. "

"

"
