Iraqi Finance Committee Deputy Calls for End to American Hegemony and Raises Suspicions of US Interference in Iraq
Iraq is economically dominated by the US, and the government does not truly control or have access to its own money. He has also raised suspicions of US interference in Iraq and called for the strengthening and diversifying of relations with China.
Hussain Mouanes, a member of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, discusses Iraq’s economic system and the recently passed federal budget. Mouanes, who has been politically active through many different stages of Iraq’s recent history, believes that Iraq’s economic system has been built incorrectly and that Iraq needs to reform existing financial legislation. He has criticized the dominance of the US dollar in Iraq’s economy, calling for the country to diversify its sources, basket, and storage of currency.
Mouanes believes that the Iraqi dinar must be strengthened and consolidated within Iraq as the primary currency used in transactions and ultimately be part of the basket of international currencies.

Why the hell can’t we just stop f’ing over the world’s economies and let everyone live in their own ways. Oh. Wait. [DS] – I’ll stop here before I use serious profanity. I’m growing too old for this game.
Happy Father’s Day, Happy SUNday
Interesting information although as a currencies investor I have been waiting for the RV/RI for some time. Is this another one of those kick the can moments that we’ve experienced lately or a real problem?
