Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [what is your take on their statement of establishing the National Oil Company and then doing the HCL?] I don’t think the National Oil Company is a prerequisite to move forward on the HCL. [If the Kurdish separate from Iraq, will they still use the Iraq Dinar? Whats your opinion how this would effect our investment?] It’s my opinion that will never happen.

MilitiaMan (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “to achieve the goal of maintaining the exchange rate and ensure the use of foreign currency out of order to meet the needs of the economy and market and development and non-directed to non-purposes; ” There is a meeting with the IMF on 08/01/2017 if I am not mistaken. A one in regard to Article IV with Iraq. The article above speaks volumes of what has been done over the preceding two years. Not just one year. I believe this has to do with Article VIII… They have been working to maintain the exchange rate of the Dinar against Foreign Currency to cover imports entering Iraq while maintaining their independence under law. They go on to say that they are (imo) effectively ceasing MCPs (Multi Currency Practices) not supported or at least if are supported by the IMF, they are under the guidance of the IMF when doing so and would be short lived if even relevant.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – My optimism in this venture is not waning, nor is it diminished even slightly. We have nothing but positives to consider at the moment. The cold hard truth is this: Iraq had a long road to travel. They have stood the test of time, they have marched forward through amazing troubles, and they are still heading in the “right” direction. But at no time in history, and at no time in the future, will they EVER tell us the “date” that they will do what they are bound to do at some point. At some point, they will raise the value. This is undeniable. But if they will do it tomorrow, or next Tuesday, or in a month or a year? We will never know that. I am going to say something with absolute conviction right now. This is absolute, no possible way to refute it, it is ABSOLUTE just like gravity pulls you towards the earth. With all my connections, with my decades of international communication and (I don’t even know how many airmiles) of travel, my past and present work and friendships with bankers, CEOs, politicians and more… I will tell you this… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

RayRen98 (Dinar Guru) – The CBI talked about economic reforms in the next few days, and said that they would lose IMF support if they didn’t get it done! We haven’t had confirmation of lower denominations. IT was said that the supplementary budget had to be passed first, and we understand that when it is passed, the rest will appear in the next few days. Over the weekend, we were told that the budget was approved and it should show up in the Gazette on Wednesday. Iraq has a meeting …1. August with the World Bank about their 580 billion dollar loan, and reforms must be in place before that time. The CBI has submitted their paperwork to the World Bank, and I guess we are waiting for the IMF and World Bank to sign off on it. So we are looking for this to unfold prior to August 1, or on August 1. We’re feeling pretty good about the 1. August, or before, unless something unforeseen happens. It looks like we are at the end of this ride, based on the information.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Central announces solutions to avoid a shortage of dollar “deviation” in the price of holidays” They should have been doing this all along. Taking days off allows for the spread to increase due to a shortage. I would guess the IMF had a hand in this to get them to start attempting to get in compliance…and the CBI trying to minimize losses by only holding auctions on a schedule. But the reality is the fix is not to conserve dollars, it is to weed out the corruption.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Eight months ago, I posted that we would need to see in this order before the RV…the following:
1) Mosul Liberated, Announcement by Abadi, and a Celebration. Done.
2) Agreement with Kurds, including oil and territory settlement, then finally the HCL will be in position to be passed by the GOI. (Kurds, including Barzani and the oil minister from Baghdad meet today…) Getting Done.
3) CBI re-educating citizens on the deletion if the three zeroes (we are seeing the payments in country with e-dinars, CBI website upgraded to BIS), and finally
4) Iraq being compliant with Article VIII with the IMF and 5 – UN lifting sanctions and the RV.
The IMF is meeting with Iraq in DC this week. The UN came out a couple of days ago and told Iraq they need to be Article VIII compliant/RV. The lynchpin to the RV, now that Mosul has been declared liberated by Abadi, the Kurds and Baghdad finalizing the HCL agreement. Barzani wants independence, and this agreement is going to have to allow for that contingency in order to get him to sign off on it. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Central Economic and victory
Dr.. On behalf of the Patriarchs In his comment exhibition on the paper presented by the Governor of the Central Bank within a seminar held in Baghdad, Prime Minister for Financial Affairs Acanutormzar adviser Mohammed Saleh he said that the central bank contributed to the victory over Daesh through its success in achieving financial and monetary stability in the country during the period of military confrontation and thus maintain the level standard of living of the citizen, as well as it lent the government (indirectly) more than twenty trillion dinars.
He added adviser said the central bank had two choices : the first is to maintain internal independence towards the government finances and the failure to provide any financing to the government through the secondary market, which could have created a major financial crisis , and the second option to sacrifice its independence in order to maintain the stability of the financial situation and not to collapse, has Central preferred the second option in order to achieve stability.
Although this is still some singing charges for central without taking into account the state of war that call for providing the most important on important, some of them wonder about the central refusal to provide funding to the previous government, simply I think that the previous government requested funding has owned a financial surplus and a far cry between the two cases and, by contrast to imagine what it could be the case if the government was unable to pay the employees ‘ salaries?!.
Some say that the government withdrew from the bank reserve, and to clarify say: that the central reserve of foreign currency is not the government reserves last because to be the Ministry of Finance, as the government did not withdraw from the central reserve and it is permissible, and the central reserve changes linked to the first two factors is demand on the dollar , which is derived from the demand for imported goods and services generated by public spending.
The second issue is presented dollar (sold from the Ministry of Finance to the Central to buy the dinar), depending on the dollar revenues received by the government from oil which are affected by the quantity and price and when it drops one or both decreasing size of the reserve, and therefore the reserve is linked to public finances of the state.
Here we must recognize the central successfully during the crisis in maintaining the size of the reserve in accordance with the internationally accepted standards as well as the installation of financial stability contributed to the achievement of economic victory.

They are not talking about letting them out of Chapter VII and it’s not even under chapter VII. This is Chapter VII charter. It’s a protection program. Looks like to me they had the meeting in 3 minutes and they put their rubber stamp on it and it’s over. It’s not the end of the security file…it’s the end of that particular program.
