firefly – …the Council of Ministers revealed in its first report on the recovery of inspectors offices nearly 18 trillion dinars and more than six billion dollars by the ministries for a number of years.”  The Iraqi government has reportedly appointed three major international banks to advise on its first international bond issue in almost a decade…Int’l Banks hired for $6 bn Bond Sale.  Like I told you guys, the meeting at the Shereton 3 weeks ago went extremely well. What I didn’t tell you guys was that these 3 banks were there.  But now that’s it’s in ink.  There were MANY people and companys and certain agencys that attended.

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Parliamentary consensus to pass the investment law in the next session Monday  More insight that shows the Investment Law may indeed be voted upon next Monday in Parliament…if so…a real breakthrough as they say for Iraq as they move away from gross amounts of red tape and corruption with how this new law is written.

Kaperoni – Article: “Political blocs complete discussion of the law of parties and decide to vote on it today’s meeting”   its done. passed today [Thursday].  It’s basically the political bloc conduct law.  It further removes the Baath party from politics. etc.

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Oil drop may be forced Iraq to reduce its currency”   The global issues associated with the falling oil prices are believed to be impacting Iraq as well…so says one expert from Bloomberg today…the oil issues coupled with the continued fighting to free Iraq from the clutches of ISIS/DAASH terrorists are draining the country to the point that its reserves have fallen 20% in recent months to stand at $59 billion dollars…war is never a cheap venture…and it is proving to be an expensive issue for Iraq today…keep in mind too that this is but one opinion of what could transpire for Iraq into the near future…no doubt their dependency on oil for revenues is critical and affecting their financial world in a big way.

Reforms launched by al-Abadi today a clear signal of the seriousness of reforms

BAGHDAD / Center Brief for the Iraqi Media Network (IMN) – said MP from the Civic Democratic Alliance Sunrise Alabegi that the reforms launched by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, on Friday, is a big step and real achievement for him, and gave a positive signal to the protesters in seriousness in reform and to move the process of anti-corruption and the corrupt who have looted the bounties of Iraq…

Mnt Goat – They are also telling us that money laundering and corruption in regards to the currency float is the major obstacle.  They have passed the Parties Law this week and they are pushing aggressively towards the Judicial Reforms next week, the National Guard Law (maybe tomorrow). We know by passing the Parties law anyone alleged of criminal activity (or under investigation) can no longer hold office or receive immunity. This is HUGE for insuring the downturn of Maliki.  So why is money laundering so important all of a sudden? Do they want billions of dinar going into the wrong hands when the value increases? Is the RV then dependent on this part of currency reform?  NO REFORMS NO RV…  [post 2 of 2]

BGG – it is looking more and more like, (sometime after this first wave of reforms) they will get a legitimate HCL Law in the works…I don’t think it has been read – negotiated – gotten past the CoM or anything – but it is coming…and that is FANTASTIC NEWS.

Poppy3 – ANYONE TELLING YOU THERE WILL BE A GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET IS FULL OF BULL. …CHRISTINE LAGARD ANNOUNCED TWICE IN NATIONAL SPEECHES THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING.  …THERE WILL NOT BE ANY GLOBAL RESET PERIOD.  …I WAS TOLD YESTERDAY TO JUST PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE NEXT 4 DAYS FOR WHAT CHANGES ARE MADE AND THAT THE CBI SAYS THEY ARE NOW READY AS SOON AS THE PARLIAMENT FINISH THEIR DUTIES…WHAT DUTIES THAT IS, TO US IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME.  I DID HEAR THAT THE HCL WAS BROKEN INTO THREE PARTS SO THEY COULD APPROVE ONE PART THAT THEY AGREE 100% ON AND IT WOULD ALLOW ABADI TO GET THE RATE CHANGE HE NEEDS AND WANTS NOW MORE THAN EVER.

Mnt Goat – We are now seeing these reform laws we have waited for so long…for the first time, I see the progress I have been told SHOULD and MUST happen to get us to the completion of the currency reforms we all wait for and desire. We know this will get us all to the bank. How long will it take to get to the end of these reforms?  Who knows for sure but we do know this week they have told us they would like to put the dinar on a currency float and at least are considering it seriously with all the pros and cons of the subject matter.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Central is preparing to launch bonds in local currency and asserts: We have a surplus of foreign currency”  Reforms…reforms…they are every where…the CBI is launching reforms in the format of localized bonds…they see this as a means to strengthen the local currency…the dinar…they have yet announced how these bonds will be sold, only saying they will be available on a local and national level…they also mentioned the sale of foreign currency as a “means to sustain the exchange rate”.

House of Representatives voted unanimously on a law on political parties

Long-Presse / Baghdad – The voice of the Iraqi Council of Representatives on Thursday unanimously passed a bill on political parties after 13 years on regime change in Iraq.

A parliamentary source said in an interview to the (long-Presse), “The House of Representatives voted during its 16th legislative term of the first second legislative year, which was held today, on the draft political parties law.”

The source, who asked not to be named, said: “vote is unanimous.”…

American Contractor – Washingston Post Article 8/18/15 Quote:  “Iraq also revived a long-delayed plan to redenominate the Iraqi dinar by knocking three zeroes off the nominal value of its banknotes, said Ihsan Shamran al-Yassiri, the head of Iraq Central Bank Issuing and Vaults Department. The plan is set to be implemented by 2017 after restructuring dinar by issuing two large banknotes – a 50,000 dinar note before the end of this year and 100,000 banknote next year – and canceling small ones.”   Small Iraq Bank notes will be canceled soon says Central Bank…the 250, 500, and 1,000 bank notes will be removed…there are not that many in circulation.

BGG – [Does anyone know what has been said…over the bloomberg report stating that Iraq will have to devalue their currency? How can a currency that is not traded world wide and is already at a false low be devalued?]  Bloomberg did not say the Iraqi currency would be devalued…it was interesting Bloomberg was even talking about it – but their tone, tenor and confused looks ought to be enough to convince you that most of what “the experts” say is speculative double talk…and if Iraq gets Maliki tossed out it will likely “depeg” (float) and go UP IMMEDIATELY (if what they were saying is right).

tlm724 – Article quote:  “The parliament ended the first reading of the law against money laundering and the financing of terrorism,” which is awesome and today we have this:  “Also it hosted the meeting after that gentlemen’s central bank governor and directors of money laundering offices in the Central Bank and the Financial Inspection Office and the intelligence service to discuss the money-laundering operations”   yesterday the first read today the to follow up for the anti-money laundering law, real quick like a bunny!   I love how this is shaping up…throw in the Islamic Banking Act discussed in order to submit it to a vote and the investment law too!  I am very pleased with how things are progressing.

Adam Montana – […why and what, in your opinion is holding up an RV other than HCL.]  HCL, and only HCL.   [Decent chance for happiness in September or October?]  As decent as we can expect right now! I’m not sour on the Dinar at all – I’m just waiting for the HCL, and I can’t pretend to know when that will go through. It could be tomorrow, or next year. I’m watching this thing like a hawk, because the minute the HCL goes through I believe we are in for a FUN ride!   [post 2 of 2]

Millionday – Article quote:  “Iraq needs funds in local currency and not in hard currency, so the central bank is preparing to launch bonds in local currency for sale in order to strengthen the local currency.”  THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DINAR BACKED BONDS — HUGE HUGE NEWS — OBVIOUSLY RELIANT ON AN INTERNATIONAL RECOGNIZED CURRENCY OR THEY ARE NOT WORKING TOWARDS THE SUPPORT THIS WOULD LEND TO THE VALUE OF THE LOCAL CURRENCY — DINAR.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana – No HCL yet, so no RV…things are still on track to move forward… the question is “when”.  Here’s an encouraging quote:  “The Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, said earlier that the approval of oil and gas law, will contribute to the achievement of social justice through the provision of investment opportunities great, and Sacefr differences associated with the adoption of the general budget, adding that the law would give wide latitude for the oil sector, to grow and implement projects planned.”  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

firefly – Contrary to popular belief …They will NEVER hold a press conference to announce the RI/RV!  They will announce events that should indicate that something is up.   So far the 3 laws I’m looking for have NOT been IMPLEMENTED…yet.  The most important of the 3 IMO is the anti-money laundering law.  Tariff Law IMO will be AFTER the fact. Border Tariffs! Investment Law is crucial as well.  Those 3 effect the Global economy. Yes many laws are still needing implementation for the nation of Iraq but not for the monetary reform.  HCL is very much needed for IRAQ!  Could it be put off? Of course it can…for much longer?  IMO…heck no!  IMO it will be a “Domino Effect”.  Yes, we are definitely in the moment of a historic event.  STOP looking for dates and windows…Timing my friends…TIMING!

Aggiedad77 – …from the news…we can see that PM Abadi’s reforms…the reforms that the people demonstrate about and cheer about…the reforms that the highest religious entities in Iraq are completely in favor of…The reforms that both the COM and Parliament have thus far backed without question….these reforms are very much a part of the lava flow for Iraq…These reforms are putting in motion the very core of the magma that pushes forward in a manner that will bring about success for their economic recovery as well as the monetary reform that is imperative for all that they seek and do.  Abadi is in control….remember that…yes there are what we see as loose ends but I’m of the opinion those loose ends for right now are necessary to get Abadi to the point where he truly needs to be with the reforms that we have yet to see.

My Ladies – Bloomberg article:  “How a Currency Crisis in Iraq Risks Fight Against Islamic State”   [It appears that the two authors…are stating that the CBI will be forced to devalue the IQD. However, the CBI is saying “no way, no devaluation”.]  IT’S ALL JUST MATH…OTHER EMERGING MARKETS ARE LETTING THEIR PEGS GO DUE TO PRESSURE ON THEM…I DIDN’T THINK IRAQ WAS FEELING THAT PRESSURE YET.  I KNEW THE PRESSURE WOULD BE INTENSE ONCE THEY STARTED TRADING THE DINAR GLOBALLY BUT I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH SO THAT’S WHAT WE’LL DO, BUT I WAS THINKING IRAQ WOULD REACT ON THE OTHER SIDE. NOT NOW.  [How Do You Devalue A Currency That Is Not Tradable?] WELL…THAT’S THE QUESTION…HOW IS THERE PRESSURE IF IT’S NOT TRADING?   …AND WHY DID THE CBI NOT JUST SAY WE DON’T TRADE – WE DON’T WORRY? [Why Out Of All The Countries To Talk About Is Bloomberg Talking About Iraq?]
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – [Are they going to redraft the HCl again and again? I thought it’s done?]  THEY ARE GOING TO DIVIDE UP PORTIONS SO THAT THE NATIONAL OIL COMPANY POLICIES DO NOT HOLD UP THE REFORM PROCESS ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ. KNOW THE HCL IS BEING PUSHED IN A HURRY AND CBI HAS STATED THAT THE TIMING IS RIPE — THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME.

Aggiedad77 – PM Abadi stood up to an Iranian General today whose sole purpose was to make a deal for Maliki to keep him out of court and prison…Abadi would not budge on the issue…  IMO…step one of Maliki’s demise…Abadi proved he will not knuckle under extreme stress…but Abadi won this round…is it over…no…but Abadi knows what needs to be done.  He has the backing of the Iraqi religious authority, he has the backing of the people, he has the support of COM, and he has the support of President of the Republic Masum…the ball is in his court I believe…I can’t say why he won’t arrest Maliki…but I believe his time grows short…watch what happens over the next few days… In closing and summing this all up…PM Abadi spoke today with a strength that I don’t think had previously been exhibited…he’s taking actions through his reforms…and …there are more reforms coming…pay attention to what he does…he is a very smart man and will not be outplayed…IMO.

BGG – Article quote:  “Ft MP for the coalition of state law Hassan Sinead, his resignation from the membership of the House of Representatives. It is likely that the resignation of Sinead be a prelude to re-seat parliament to al-Maliki after limbering included government office in addition to the pursuit of obtaining the legal immunity…”  just because they say they are giving Maliki a seat – or someone is giving up their seat (more like Maliki bought it) means he will retain immunity – or they won’t arrest him anyway… especially with the crimes he is CLEARLY accused of.  There is plenty of precedent for him to have his “immunity” lifted and be arrested immediately – this is a weak tactic… but it tells you a lot about the struggle going on right now.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – …what is Maliki up to…IOO…he’s made a deal…[you mean in Iran?]  well yes but that was intended…IMO Maliki has made a deal in Iraq to stay out of the courts, to stay out of prison...Maliki needs to be tried before the citizens of Iraq…he needs to be held accountable for any and all atrocities that he is complicit to…

Kaperoni –  Article quote:  “The policy now is to meet the demand for dollars,” Waleed Eedi, a director general at the Central Bank of Iraq, said by telephone on Monday. The reserves won’t be depleted because of oil sales and the dinar won’t devalue, he said.”  It’s a doom and gloom article from Bloomberg and we already have seen the articles asking to devalue the dinar a few weeks back.  The CBI was clear that was not an option and reiterated that in this article.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 –  The HCL is in the budget…as has been stated in the past…therefore no need to have it read in Parliament… IOO…it is a part of the “long line”…also IOO…the laws that are being worked in Parliament, at least the major laws will be…IOO…the trigger for the “long line”.

Millionday – Article quote:  “…the fight against administrative corruption and financial, is the cornerstone of achieving the government program goals in the reform, which received strong support from all popular forces loyal to Iraq,  and achieve victory over the forces of darkness and terrorism that have caused destruction to the Iraqi people and the Iraqi economy…”  THE HOLD-OFF OF REFORMS DUE TO TERRORISM DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT THIS TIME — THE REFORMS ARE EXPECTED TO HELP IN THE ISSUES THEY SUFFER…  [So Abadi is not going to hold off on the reforms? I think there was an article earlier that said that he was going to.]  NOT ACCORDING TO REPORTS THAT I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN — REFORMS ARE IN THE PROCESS ALREADY BY WHAT I READ.

THIS CAN OR WILL LIKELY CAUSE A CURRENCY IMPLOSION!  WHY AM I SHARING ALL THIS?  BECAUSE SOMEWHERE IN THIS PROCESS THE DINAR AND OTHER EMERGING MARKET CURRENCIES WILL BE THERE TO BAIL OUT THE WORLDS FINANCIAL SYSTEM!  I THINK WE ARE APPROACHING A NARROW WINDOW NOW IN THIS PROCESS. IT IS COMING TO A         CONCLUSION!  LOOK FOR THINGS TO GET MUCH WORSE AND VERY QUICKLY WORLDWIDE!

My Ladies – THE HOLD UP OF IRAQ BEING REACTIONARY HAS ALL TO DO WITH THE BANKING SYSTEM AS A WHOLE… IRAQ IS A KEY STATE IN THE INITIATIVE.  EMERGING MARKETS WERE NOT READY UNTIL NOW AND THAT INCLUDES IRAQ. WHEN THE ROUTE GET TO IRAQ AND IT IS TIME FOR IRAQ TO TRADE, THEY WILL TRADE AND WITH OUT SPEAKING TO VALUE THEY WILL TRADE WHETHER REFORMS ARE IN PLACE OR NOT.  IRAQ KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE WHICH IS WHY NOW THERE IS URGENCY FROM THE COUNTRY…  THE REAL INTEL IN THIS SCENARIO IS WITH THE BANKING SYSTEM.  IT IS ALL JUST MATH AND THERE IS NO ROOM FOR RUMOR OR ERROR IN MATH.  [post 2 of 2]

wmawhite – [I just got an article…talking about dinar against other currencies and oil price:  “Iraqi dinar compete Arab currencies in the exchange rate“]  currently the IQD is not competing against anything… therefore, if this person is correct and the IQD is going to compete within the world currency markets, then its status must change first.  Meaning, currencies compete based upon exchange rates… therefore, it must have an exchange rate with which other currencies will exchange with.  [so does that mean maybe an rv soon?]  There is NO maybes with the IQD…there is only WHEN the IQD starts moving within the world currencies markets.  Personally, they (the CBI, GOI and ISX) have issued so many indicators that point to a change in the status of the IQD.

Mnt Goat – Part of this effort will also be cleaning house in the CBI including the changeover from the proxy governor Ali al-Alaq to Dr. Sinan al-Shabibi.  I have evidence that speaks strongly that corruption must be cleaned out of the current CBI first before we will see any currency reform.
I assure you the process is already in play. The men on the chess board are about to be moved around.  So this week looks very good. I expect announcements of some of the recent reforms and Reconciliation legislation signed into law. Also I suspect this week or in the next couple weeks, we are once again some movement into a fantastic window of opportunity to see a change in the currency value of Iraq...I feel we are at the very near end to this RV saga.  [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat – I am hearing the Maliki influence has dwindled to the point that he no longer is any threat to the government. This was assured to us once his position as VP was eliminated. We wait for his trial on many charges. This is coming in the weeks ahead. I now have proof that currency reform is in fact one of the reforms Abadi fully intends to implement VERY soon.  I also have confirmation from the CBI that the IQD is no longer directly pegged to the USD but has been pegged to the SDR now since 2012 when Dr. Shabibi (then acting governor of the CBI) was in the process of the final steps of rolling out the lower denoms and coins. Well they are now on track to pick up the pieces and move forward with this once again.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Parliamentary Economy: customs need to in order to ensure the application of the customs tariff”  According to one MP from the Economic and Investment Committee within Parliament the taxes and tariffs need another year to be worked on until they are again brought to light...this also comes from the head of the Customs group responsible for implementation…they still face issues with border crossings and how to equitably implement the new laws.

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Supreme religious authority: a battle of destiny and to speed up reforms to hold accountable corrupt”  Here comes another not so subliminal message from the Iraqi clerics to PM Abadi…we need to clean up the judiciary to ensure when those accused of corruption are brought to trial there is no question as to the honesty and integrity of the judges hearing the cases…we need to push for more speed with the reforms that are being laid before the Iraqi people…make good decisions, make them quick, and move forward.

Delta – [“THE ECONOMIC REFORMS HAVE BEGUN — THEY ARE TO SATISFY THE CITIZENS AND ALSO ADDRESS NOT ONLY THE DOMESTIC — BUT THE GLOBAL SCALE.”   …that was supposedly released to the citizens Sunday am with 48 hours to implement. Is this news correct and if so if its to satisfy on a global scale could this be pointing to a rate change?]  YES THAT’S CORRECT…BUT KEEP IN MIND 48 HRS FOR IRAQ COULD MEAN A MONTH.

Analysts: al-Maliki at war again after being convicted of the report of Mosul

http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthread.php?18174-Analysts-al-Maliki-at-war-again-after-being-convicted-of-the-report-of-Mosul&p=128045&viewfull=1#post128045

BGG Notes:

Maliki came back from Iran where he met with most of his most ardent Shia supporters (not all Shias support him – as before).

The Dawa party (and Maliki) “facially supports” these recent reforms called for by the Iraqi Clerics and the demonstrators (the people)… However, it’s a political tactic. He needs to look like..

“HE’S THE REFORMER”, or at least line himself up with the reforms…

Then there’s these rants blaming Erbil and Turkey for the fall of Mosul. Maliki must think no one remembers Barzani going to the press when Maliki wouldn’t listen about ISIS on the move.

There are articles out that affirm they put the SLC at Abadi’s disposal… again a weak showing of being “on the side of reforms” – not the “focus of the reforms”…

On the other hand Maliki is secretly attempting to subvert Abadi  everything he does.

It is worth noting – there are numerous OP ED’s out recently pointing out that if Maliki really wanted reforms he would have done so long ago.

Maliki is in now in FULL DAMAGE control…

The Friday before the Mosul Report was coming out – he went to Iran to gather support. This move seems to have (temporarily) worked. This caught me a little off-guard. I didn’t think he had that kind of support from Iran once they pulled their support from his bid for a 3rd term.

He did not come back until he had some assurance of some kind – though no guarantee, he must feel he has some potential for survival.

This just goes to show you. I was told some time ago he had deep support from some very unlikely sources. It appears both Sunni leadership was “on the take” as well as some level of support from the Iranian Mullahs. Though they don’t seem to support another Maliki term – they don’t appear ready to throw him overboard just yet either. There is no guarantee they won’t though.

They have even sent Gen Qassem Soleimani into Iraq south of Baghdad to orchestrate a “quelling” of the demonstrations and supposedly to secure Maliki’s safety. However, I am not convinced his ultimate safety is Soleimani’s underlying mission.

This report of Gen. Soleimani being there is limited in it’s scope (how many times/and how it is reported) – so I view this with a healthy dose of skepticism. Also – this frantic move to maintain control over Iraq may well backfire on them. It is becoming clearer and clearer they have some agenda. This is surely not lost on the Iraqi people. Overall, they are typically not happy about external influence – US or Iranian. They don’t like it. One good thing – all of this has forced the Iranians to play their hand in a more public fashion. Now they all know…

Abadi was quoted just recently as saying…

…”the prime minister does not think now in dissent nor undo the reforms, and will not seek to raise Maliki’s name from the list of defendants fall of Mosul.”…

Meaning – he won’t take Maliki’s name out of this report… it will play out.

I don’t see – with the mounting charges, how Maliki survives this barrage. Mosul, Halabja, embezzlement from the CBI, the Speicher massacre, the prison break, it goes on and on and on…

Further – my comments regarding “Maliki as gone” – are clearly “forward looking statements” and ARE IN PROGRESS. Visible progress has been made – for now, Maliki is NOT A VP and is NOT WELCOME in official GOI meetings. Party meetings are one thing. GOI is another thing entirely.

Rather than get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong and what the details are – what about the WHY?? WHY did Abadi move now?? Was it demonstrators?? No – I doubt it very much. Maliki can think he has everyone right where he wants them – but keep in mind this whole campaign of reform was kicked off by the WB/IMF telling Iraq to get their AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and corruption under control (both issues pointed DIRECTLY AT MALIKI). They were given until Oct 1st to get an AML law put in place. It would probably help Abadi to have an Investment Law in place as well.

Thus far Abadi has responded. Judiciary is next. He needs to keep up the pressure...

SteveI – This is very complex and I had no clue as to all of the things that have to get done and be in place. A huge undertaking. [With all the news that we have read recently, was hoping to get…input on where we are, and where we’re headed.]  … Iraq is moving forward not backwards like some are implying. Yes, I would like to see things move a bit faster… I do have some positive news but I have not had a chance to verify it from additional sources. It is very positive.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – As we know Maliki traveled to Iran with a delegation from his party. I believe his intent was to defect to Iran since he also traveled with his family. Once there he was asked to return to Iraq. He is now back in Iraq…  Abadi is moving quickly on the clean up of the Judiciary system to get the Judicial Reforms implemented. This will clear the way for any obstacles for many future reform objectives including bringing Maliki and his goons to their final demise thus stopping the stalling of needed legislation to complete the Reconciliation efforts agreed to be completed by mid September. These reforms are moving lightening fast.

Millionday – Article quote:  “The International Monetary Fund forecast on Wednesday, the Iraqi economy growth of 0.5% by the end of this year, thanks to expansion in the oil sector, and increase the contraction of economic activity in the non-oil.”  THE INCREASE OF NON-OIL IS ALL OTHER PRODUCTION OTHER THAN OIL CALCULATED WITH GDP.   THE IMF FIGURES REPRESENT THE ACTIVATED REFORM RESULTS…THE IMF IS HAPPY WITH THE REFORM PACKAGE AND HAS ADJUSTED ALONG WITH REFORMS PREDICTIONS OF GROWTH FOR THIS YEAR.

Seems that if they are using the dollar then we must still be supporting them financially. If that’s the case then they don’t really need to be concerned about the Dinar’s value.]  The CBI runs auctions and uses the dollar to balance the rate. From an RV standpoint it really doesn’t matter that they are using USD and IQD. All that matters is where the CBI sets the rate, because that determines how many USD we get for each Dinar.  Long story short – their use of USD is not a bad thing for us.

Al Maliki steps into Al Hashemi’s shoes

Iraqi Prime Minister Al Abadi still has a long way to go, but he is on the right track

It is a curious twist of irony that the man who pursued the now-fugitive former Iraqi vice-president Tariq Al Hashemi may suffer a similar fate. Iraq’s former premier, and former vice-president Nouri Al Maliki is currently in Iran, where some have suggested that he may never come back from as Baghdad seeks to investigate his role in the fall of Mosul to Daesh (the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) last year. The move was a milestone for the terror group that allowed it to gain much support among radicals around the globe, as well as territory in Iraq and Syria…

Arthur – It should now be blatantly obvious that the one missing piece to the whole RV puzzle is the lack of a Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) in Iraq to release the budget funds to the provinces as well as a myriad other items that the HCL benefits. In light of where we are in the process we can now release breaking news gathered from sources within the process.  Without going into too much minute details, the delay in the full blown release of the next round of reforms was, among other things due to the instability in the political arena in the Kurdistan region. We have information that much of that has now reached a sufficient point of closure that the next round of reforms, including the HCL is now in imminent status with the signing of some documents and release by the PTB.  We are now in a countdown to the full blown economic reform introducing the Iraqi dinar to the international community.

THAT DECISION AGAIN SEEMS TO BE IN THE COURT OF THE IMF.

My Ladies – SO ALL OF THIS AND NOW THE IMF HOLDING ON THE BASKET IMPLEMENTATION TELLS US THAT WE SHOULD SEE AN EXCHANGE RATE NOW-ISH WITH A DOLLAR PEG ON PAR WITH THE INDEX AND THEN LATER WHEN EVERYONE BEGINS THE SWITCH TO THE SDR THEY WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT? [Do not let go of your dinar until it depegs from the usd and pegs to the sdr next year.]  RIGHT…SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY HERE IS DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR DINAR ALL AT ONCE! THEY ARE TELLING US THEY NEED UNTIL 2017…  IMF IS TELLING US THEY NEED UNTIL, THE END OF 2016 IRAQ NEEDS TO PUT ON TRAINING WHEELS AND BECOME CONVERTIBLE NOW SO THEY WILL DO THAT WITH A DOLLAR PEG, BUT THEN LATER WHEN THEY HAVE ALL THEIR CORRECT CURRENCY AND ARE READY TO TAKE OFF THE TRAINING WHEELS THEY WILL PEG TO THE BASK AT A REALITY RATE REFLECTING THEIR GDP BY THEN AND THEY WILL HAVE A NEW PERMANENT RATE.  WE SHOULD SEE A RATE NOW ISH BUT NOT A SDR VALUE UNTIL THEY SWITCH PEGS…A 2 STEP PROCESS. [with a peg to USD at par would be $1 IQD to $1 USD right?]    WELL SORT OF…BUT I THINK THE INDEX IS 0.98 NOW.  [post 2 of 2]

BGG: says to jackflash101st Sounds like it – who knows how that will end.
BGG: says to jackflash101st Mahmoud already tried to resign.

BGG: Wow –

BGG: [the report] – emphasizes that what happened before the fall of Mosul was planned by al-Maliki in order to return to power and picking the third mandate until the door drop Sunni leaders in the western regions and the declaration of emergency law that allows him to control and put the Kurdistan region with a fait accompli,

BGG: which I said over and over – no one cared much (at the time) to listen…

BGG: WOW – as I read this whole report, it strikes me, the reason Maliki is coming back (or has – or will Thursday)… reference is made to the fact, if he stays gone his political influence ends QUICKLY.

Adam Montana – [For a long while I heard that over half of the HCL was done, but it is still a HCA.  Is it in front of Parliament or are the Tarriff Laws and people getting Fired more important?]  In my opinion, the HCL is going to be done as quick as the actual RV – it won’t get back in front of Parliament until they are sure they are going to pass it, and pass it quickly. I’m not the only one who believes the HCL is the last key to seeing the RV, which leads me to think that it will be a 1-2 deal.  Go HCL, then go RV.

Kaperoni – Article:  “Jubouri: The second package of reforms will contain a lot of detailed important decisions”   We can see now that these various committees are being formed to present to the PM reforms. And the second package appears to begin to including banking reforms..specifically mentioned here “guarantee deposits.” This brings me to the committee that met yesterday discussing the currency… We could be seeing the beginning of many steps to improve the economy, strengthen the banking system and improve the value of the currency. It will be interesting to watch these packages of reforms over the next several weeks and how they are implemented.

tman23 – BAGHDAD — The head of the committee investigating the fall of Mosul, Hakim al-Zamili has revealed that there is no evidence to suggest KRG President Massoud Barzani or former Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi are accountable the fall of Mosul. It had been rumoured that Barzani and al-Nujaifi were included on the list, but al-Zamili rejected the claims. President Barzani insists that he warned former PM Nouri al-Maliki about the serious threats facing northern Iraq before IS launched their 2014 attacks, but was ignored.…….. Now we wait for the reports that will expose Maliki funneling Iraqi money to Tehran…….And that I assume will go over very well with Iraqi citizens and their fondness for Tehran

wmawhite – Well, well ,well…now the U.S. News and World Report is reporting the same thing:..“US News & World Report – Iraqi selling intl bonds and redominating currency…Reacting to the crisis, Iraq plans to issues bonds worth $7 billion — $5 billion in international bonds… Iraq also revived a long-delayed plan to redenominate the Iraqi dinar by knocking three zeroes off the nominal value of its banknotes, said Ihsan Shamran al-Yassiri, the head of Iraq Central Bank Issuing and Vaults Department”  the significance is that the IQD will be on the bond market. The bond market is twice the size of all of the world’s stock markets combined.   when the IQD is on the bond market the individual bonds are able to move freely.  This is the first step of the IQD reentering the world currency markets. Exciting and nice news.

tman23 – The new currency must come first as a prelude to the deletion of the 3 zeros from the currency… This is the biggest statement ever made yet so often overlooked! If they are speaking of new lower denoms, then they would need a rate other then 1166…and if they come first, then the 3 zero notes will carry high value before removing the 3 zeros at the exchange window…what is the time limit…72 hrs…7 days…who knows…but it is possible! The other scenario is seeing a 50,000 note come in October…if that hits the streets then it is not looking good no matter how anyone tries to spin it… Make no mistake…the world is on the edge of financial disasters… it is real and live! There are 33 consulates now opened in Erbil… All these countries are lining up at the feeding trough…IMO it is bigger then Iraq…something BIG is being prepared… and TIME IS A FACTOR!

Frank26 – The Monetary Reform remains in front of us.  It is our opinion that Dr. S [Shabibi] will be returning but we just don’t know when.  Again, IOO (In Our Opinion) the reforms will need an RI to start them.  From the article earlier today, “Let it Float”….this will put things in the hands of the international world and with this will come a faster rise in the rate…IOO.  With the actions being taken by PM Abadi in the form of his reforms expect to see the removal of many things, people, policies, laws, etc. he will make sure that nothing stands in the way of his reforms as we move forward.

Iraq: Report on fall of Mosul to ISIS calls for ex-PM Maliki to face trial

Breitling – They [the CBI] are telling business and local banks to stop doing business with Iran…the main reason why is they [Iran] are trying to pump US dollars into iraq because they know they [Iraq] are trying to add value to the dinar and they [Iran] know one of the tools to keep the value of the dinar down was the US dollar…it’s a back door confirmation of what the intent is of what Iraq wants to do.   They are cutting Iran off at the knees.  It’s one thing if the CBI can scoop up those dollars and put them into the reserves…that’s a good thing but there is so much that they’re having a problem with it.  And it will keep the value of the dinar down if they don’t tackle it.

BGG: The head of the parliament Saleem al-Jubouri, on Monday, the House of Representatives does not have the right to delete any name mentioned in the report of the fall of Mosul, while pointing out that the report was written neutrally and did not exclude a paragraph or a name and did not succumb to pressure…

BGG: This piece was all about the mention of Maliki as the key figure in the report.

BGG: he and his people wanted his name off it and those currently in charge wouldn’t take his name off…

BGG: Very cool piece.

Robl: Do we know where Maliki is at the present? Iran, Iraq?

wmawhite – The discussion about what type of notes are used on the streets is totally different from a discussion about the yet to be announced international exchange rate. There will be one international exchange rate for the IQD which is only applicable outside the country. That will in turn determine the type and size of the note to be used in country.  Folks, what you can take away from this discussion and that article is that the citizens are being told to expect changes in the currency they will use on the streets and why?  Because, the IQD will be put on the world currency market and the new value of the IQD will affect the type of note they will use inside Iraq. Plain and simple. [If the IQD does float, will there be value added & then it floats or will it float from 1166? If it floats from 1166 will there be demand for the IQD at that level?]  The CBI will never tell what they will do until after it is implemented.

Poppy3 – Article quote: “the largest category of cash is Al25,000 dinars, which is equal to $ 22, in the case of deletion of zeros and converted to 25 dinars Vstsawi of $ 75…”     IN OCT. 2010 THE IMF POSTED ON THEIR WEB SITE THAT AGREEMENT WITH IRAQ WAS REACHED ON THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE DINAR ( 4 YRS AGO ) OF $3.22 AND POSSIBLY UP TO 20% FOR INFLATION OVER THE TIME OF THE WAR WHICH HAS RISEN HIGHLY OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. THIS IS OLD NEWS TO THOSE OF US THAT HAVE ONLY LISTENED TO THE AUTHORITY FOR INFORMATION. YES IT IS EXCITING TO SEE ALL IS STILL THE SAME AND NOW ACTIONS ARE SHOWING IT IS HAPPENING.

wmawhite – Article quote:  “the largest category of cash is Al25,000 dinars, which is equal to $ 22, in the case of deletion of zeros and converted to 25 dinars Vstsawi of $ 75…”  ...this is telling the citizens that the 25K note that is currently treated as $25 in the shops will be worth $75 in the future.  This is very good.
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – [and so we care…why?]  BECAUSE THE IMPACT OF THE REMOVAL IS ALSO THE EXCHANGE OF ALL DINAR — INSIDE AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND WILL ALSO DETERMINE THE EXCHANGE RATES TO ALL COUNTRIES THE RESULT THIS BRINGS IS EXCITING TO US.  THE EXCHANGE REGULATIONS WILL BE RELEASED — TIMING ETC THAT THEY HAVE SET — AND THE DINAR WILL BE SOLD FOR WHATEVER INTERNATIONAL VALUE THERE IS…THIS IS HUGE HUGE AS THIS IS ALL PART OF THE EXCHANGE OF THE DINAR.  [when is the deleting of zeros going to happen?]   THIS SAYS THE CONDITION FOR IT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED — SO ANYTIME ACCORDING TO THE REPORT.   [post 3 of 3]

Millionday – THIS IS TO THE CITIZENS AND SHOWING THEM THE VALUE OF THE BUYING VALUE THAT WILL COME FROM THE REMOVAL OF THE THREE ZEROS — THIS IS A HUGE RISE IN IRAQ BUT IS NOT THE RELEASED INTERNATIONAL VALUE OF THE EXCHANGE RATE — IT IS AN EXPLANATION OF THE BUYING POWER OF THEIR DINAR IN COUNTRY AND IS HUGE…I DONT WANT YOU TO CONFUSE THE TWO THIS IS A HUGE LEAP IN THEIR ECONOMY AND WILL MAKE THE DINAR MUCH MORE POWERFUL BUT NOT THE MATH FOR THE EXCHANGE RATE HERE BUT THE RESULT IS THE IMPACT ON THE INTERNATIONAL RATES WHEN THEY ENTER THE MARKET ECONOMY — THAT DETERMINES THE COST OF THE VALUABLE DINAR TO EVERYONE AND THE PRICE OF EXCHANGE ETC GREAT — THIS IS GOOD NEWS BUT NOT A VALUE ON FOREX TO US OR ANYONE ELSE.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – THE DELETION OF THE THREE ZERO CURRENCY WAS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR 4 YEARS AGO… SHABIBI WAS SUPPOSED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT BUT WAS UNABLE TO HOLD THE PROPER POSITION TO ACTIVATE — NOW ANOTHER IS GOING TO DO IT…DUE TO >>>APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS —WHOOPOW.   NOW HOLD YOUR HAT AND GET YOUR MATH HAT ON…HERE IT COMES… Quote: “He explained that “the largest category of cash is Al25,000 dinars, which is equal to $ 22, in the case of deletion of zeros and converted to 25 dinars Vstsawi of $ 75…” ACCORDING TO THIS IT IS SAYING 25K WILL BRING 75$ WITH THE EXCHANGE…NO GUARANTEES…IT IS NOT A PROMISE JUST A REPORT  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

BGG – Article quote:   “He explained that “the largest category of cash is Al25,000 dinars, which is equal to $ 22, in the case of deletion of zeros and converted to 25 dinars Vstsawi of $ 75, this process will give the larger size of the local currency and reduce the use of the dollar in the domestic market.”   Did this guy just say 3:1? Sounds like what he is trying to say…Wow?!?  Not that I agree – but that sounds like what he is saying.   [why do you not agree?]  current conditions…seems like a big jump… I am a spectator and will be happy with added value…My dream is added value – a move, because once it goes “we’re in”!   and it is very odd timing this kind of OP ED by economists are coming out RIGHT AFTER Maliki is being dealt with…that is more curious to me than the numbers – the timing.

Kaperoni – Article:  “Economist: deletion of zeros from the currency will reduce the dollar traded in the local market”  Quote:  “He explained that “the largest category of cash is Al25,000 dinars, which is equal to $ 22, in the case of deletion of zeros and converted to 25 dinars Vstsawi of $ 75, this process will give the larger size of the local currency and reduce the use of the dollar in the domestic market.”  He wants a $3+ exchange rate.

Poppy3 – I LIKE HE HAS BEEN STRATEGIC IN HIS REMOVAL SO FAR. HE DOESNT MOVE TILL HE HAS HIS SUPPORT AND DUCKS IN A ROW. THATS GREAT.  [And a major threat from the world bank.] WELL THE WORLD BANK HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN VERY LENIENT BUT THE PRESSURE IS ON TO SHOW ACTION.  [At least Abadi is taking it seriously.]  …HE IS AND HAS BEEN SERIOUS EVERYDAY SINCE HE TOOK OVER. HE HAD THE GOI AND PARLIAMENT WORK 5 MONTHS STRAIGHT WITHOUT A DAY OFF…SAID THEY WOULD NOT STOP PROGRESS TILL ALL IS COMPLETED INCLUDING ALL FINANCIAL REFORM INCLUDING THE NEW RATE.  […after waiting all these years i have never felt more promising of this currency especially in the last year.]  ME ALSO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Jester – […is there any hope for the dinar?  …is the dinar a scam like some are saying?]  I NEVER SAID THAT… BUT I AM NOT ON THE BS TRAIN TELLING IT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW EITHER…THERE IS…ALWAYS HOPE…BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME ON THIS…IT IS GOING TO BE A WHILE...I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON THAT BEFORE…
______________________________________________________________

Poppy3 – VERY, VERY GOOD ABADI IS ELIMINATING OBSTACLES HE SHOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO BUT WASNT POSITIONED TO DO SO TILL NOW.  MOVES HAVE ALL BEEN IN OUR FAVOR. VERY ENCOURAGING DAILY.  I AM RELAXED AND JUST WATCHING THEIR MOVES AND ACTIONS.   [How long do you think it will be before they get rid of Alalak?]  I AM SURE THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE NEXT MOVES. I THINK HE WILL NEED PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE AND MAYBE A VOTE (NOT SURE YET) I ALSO EXPECT HE WILL WANT A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT READY AT THE SAME TIME. WE WILL SEE VERY SOON I THINK.

tlm724 – Article quote:  “Jubouri: The second package of reforms will contain detailed a lot of important decisions”  Quote:  “…al-Jubouri that the second package of reforms will contain a lot of detailed important decisions…that the second package of reforms will be more detailed, more mature and clearer than the first package, noting that this package will not be the last, but there will be a third package”   …so three packages of reforms, didn’t think they could all they need to do in just one.
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 – Article: “Economist: deletion of zeros from the currency will reduce the dollar traded in the local market”  It would appear that we have a case of apples and oranges here…they don’t mix too well when put into a case…it was either designed for apples or for oranges, but as a mix, the lid just won’t close properly.  We even see the use of Dr. S [Shabibi] name here…saying he was ready four years ago but the project was delayed as they awaited the correct conditions…then we witnessed the ouster of Dr. S from his position as Governor of the CBI and we believe opportunities have been squandered ever since.  Well the time grows ripe again…will we see the return of Dr. S with the ouster today of keywords from his position as “acting” governor of the CBI…a job that apparently he hasn’t done too well in the eyes of PM Abadi.  Remember who appointed him…the removal of the 000’s was Dr. S’s baby…his project…but not in this manner or fashion…only the truth in action here will set any of us free…and as part of that truth keep in mind this is one person’s opinion…and he is not a part of the process that will bring Dr. S’s project to fruition.
______________________________________________________________

firefly – This is a VERY complicated process. Watch for events not dates.  […what events should we be watching for now?]   I’m looking for the IMPLEMENTATION of certain laws…Necessary for the reform to succeed without flaw.  [Mosal and Anbar, International Law, Tarriffs, Amnesty, Implementation…]  and a few more!  The anti money laundering law is crucial…Investment Law!  Tariffs will probably be after the fact IMO.   …the meeting last Saturday went extremely well!  Everything started moving at lightning speed on Sunday correct?  I’m focused on Abadi and the CBI…period… end of story.  [how much time you think…? I will not do dates or windows…but SOON has an entirely new meaning now IMO.

Millionday – THEY ARE TELLING THE CITIZENS THAT HUGE CHANGES ARE COMING FROM THE REFORMS FOR THEM.   …ABADI SAID THERE WAS ANOTHER SET OF REFORMS COMING HOPEFULLY SATURDAY IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.   …WE KNOW THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATING FOR A LONG TIME DEMANDING THE REFORMS.  [is it Sat as today Aug 15th? or Sat as Aug 22nd?]  I BELIEVE THIS SATURDAY — I DONT SEE ITS ANNOUNCEMENT HOWEVER.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 – …the second package of reforms that Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi wants to implement, will be launched very soon, where he is currently being prepared for this package, and that will not be the last…more reforms coming!  …with the full backing of the supreme religious leaders and the judiciary he will get this done!
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – ...Told You already that IMO DRS [Dr. Shabibi] will soon return …Come back to the CBI.  IMO…”Wait for it.”  He will make the loudest explosion soon enough. He is not in Iraq at the moment.

tlm724 – Article quote:  “Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has sent two letters to the Integrity Commission to have this commission immediately begin investigating on a number of corruption files”   I have been waiting for this!  Quote:  “According to these sources Haider al-Abadi has emphasized on opening the corruption files of Ahmad Maliki, the son of Maliki. Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered…”  that doesn’t mean it’s so but we need to watch for any further developments!  all institutions are under the spot light and lets not forget that Maliki appointed Ali Alak as CBI governor after Turki.
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – Article quotes: “Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has sent two letters to the Integrity Commission to have this commission immediately begin investigating on a number of corruption files regarding Nouri Maliki and Baha al-Araji.”  “Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered, according to al-Baghdadiya.”  SO OBVIOUSLY WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES — SO I WILL SAY THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE VERIFIED IS THROUGH ACTION.  [Did I read that correctly!? “Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered…”   I thought Abadi helped Dr. S to get out of charges late last year?]   THE HEAD OF CBI IS APPOINTED BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE — WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHERE IT GOES WITH SHABIBI — I CANNOT VERIFY THIS.

After his dismissal State law turned on Al-Maliki. It acknowledges responsibility for financial budgets and loss!!

Mp State law Nicole, the previous Government led by former Prime Minister and Vice-President of the Republic article Nouri al-Maliki responsible for strained state budget, at the same time revealing the presence of 300 in the State Constitution, have been distributed.

Al-kinani said in a statement: “the decisions of the Government and parliamentary reform has two dimensions, economic dimension because it represents a step towards addressing the SAG of the administrative and financial functioning of the State institutions including the Government itself, as well as another political dimension of such decisions will pave to cancel quota confessional that has made the country a standstill.”

“Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abbadi decisions timely and represent a genuine response to the will of the masses and in line with the directives of the good religious reference”…

______________________________________________________________

BGG – [How long do you think it will take to remove Alak?]  that is the last piece of the puzzle – if you are asking me – doesn’t sound like long…there was also a SCATHING PIECE about Alak being a child and not at all qualified to be the Gov of the CBI.  Quite honestly – the happenings in Iraq are breathtaking…there is a lot going on all at once.  [The next week will be interesting to see how CBI plays out.]  the next week should be very interesting indeed.
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – [Do you have any idea when they will implement the border tariffs and the International Bonds?] THEY HAVE STATED THIS MONTH BUT THE BEST WAY TO BE SURE IS TO WATCH IT HAPPEN IMO.
______________________________________________________________

firefly – IMO Abadi and Shabibi are in the same boat. Each is paddling in unison towards one goal.  Remember…it was Abadi that forced the courts to remove all previous charges brought on Shabibi from Maliki.  Shabibi has NEVER been OFFICIALLY replaced…just a bunch of proxy (fillers) for the position.  …according to the old constitution…the CBI Governor had to be voted in by Parliament.  Maliki to my understanding never had the power to appoint a permanent Governor.

Millionday – [So what part is yet to be done before they are ready to do the RV. I mean where do we fit in the scheme of things? ONE OF THE REPORTS WE HAD ANNOUNCED THAT WITH THE REFORM LAW BEING PASSED THE IMPORTANT LAWS WERE PASSED TOO — SO AT THIS POINT MANY THINGS ARE NOT BEING RELEASED — WE DONT HAVE A DATE OR RATE AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE OR A GUARANTEE BUT — SO MANY THINGS HAVE MOVED FORWARD FROM WHERE WE WERE — HUGE PROGRESS.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – I believe Abadi has a new target – that of the Judiciary and Court System of Iraq.  Abadi must deal with the judiciary now in order to get some of these other laws passed and properly deal with much of the corruption.  So how do you judiciously deal with corruption in your ministries if the court system itself is corrupt?   …Iraq had to be sorted out by Abadi and priorities placed, a plan was designed. He is taking on one bite at a time and being cautious. He now has support (and continues) to have support of the citizens in this work that lays ahead. We know without a shadow of a doubt that there will be no RV without Amnesty and other laws. This is given facts to us. So to get these needed laws implemented Abadi must clean up the crocked judiciary system (as well as his ministers).  Abadi has gotten momentum from the protestors and so it is time now to move forward on these judicial reforms and we should all be jumping up and down with joy. We have waited soooo long for this to happen.

The Exchange Rate of Foreign Currency in Economic Feasibility Studies 

Below are the central controls related to the exchange rate of the foreign currency to convert the project inputs and outputs from foreign currency to its equivalent in the local currency, and that is by calculating the net discounted present value standard and the internal return on investments in economic analysis that governs investment projects that costs excess one million dinars.

Estimate the shadow price of foreign currency:…
