Let me boil my recent comments down to one simple idea.
It appears to me – Warka Bank is interested in the same thing the CBI is right now…
Which is, recapturing as much Dinar as possible.
Does this imply some immediate RV (or value change)?
No – it does not. In fact, it might even imply them thinking some value shift may be coming as far out as sometime in the next couple of fiscal quarters.

BGG ~ OH DEAR LORD!!
I get it that they’ve changed (ownership / management), they’re all different now and under the direct oversight of the CBI (which might even bother me a little more)…
BUT HOLY COW!! These guys are really something…
“Here’s a letter authorizing us to withdraw the money from your account”… (because it’s somehow – legally O.K.) …and put it in ours… “sign right here please… press hard – there are three copies”
However, the flip side of this is, what if…
They know (or can foresee) something is on the horizon? They bring in all this IQD (for essentially – FREE)… then the IQD value goes up.
They just sold millions upon millions of shares of a Bank that is essentially worthless for $1 per share (or more). Sounds like the greatest financial coup in history.
Would the value of the IQD going up make the bank more valuable?
No, it does not… but if Warka pulls this off they will be sitting on a GIGANTIC PILE OF MONEY.
Why else would they sell a share of their (albeit $h!tty) bank for FRACTIONS of a cent?? They would be GIVING IT AWAY…
Unless, of course, they foresee buying the incoming money at one price and selling it later at another.

BGG ~ They almost NEVER show the buy/sell in the various regions like this… so this isn’t vital information “tourists” need (as if there were any of those in Iraq)… it’s an advertisement directed at the IMF and the world.
It’s up to you to figure out why.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – …the CBI is selling lots of dollars right now (200 million today) so my guess is they are in compliance and not planning to wait to much longer for Article VIII. They want to end the auctions and stop draining the reserves. Hang in there.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – I don’t understand why so many are trying to figure out what the correct 2% spread is for the Market Rate? This is pretty simple…. The Official Rate at the CBI is 1184, you add the CBI commissions on auction currency of 6 dinars to reach 1190. The spread then is derived from this at 2% or 24 dinars making it 1214 to $1 or less to be in compliance. Based on today’s numbers, they are within compliance.

The rise in the value of the dinar strengthens international confidence in the Iraqi economy
Baghdad / Hussein Thugb – The recovery of the Iraqi dinar and the stability of the exchange rate leads to the strengthening of international confidence in the national economy, where local markets indicated an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar and conflicting views on this and came the opinion of the Central Bank to be the subject.
Director of operations at the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, said that “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification of large measures on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand. Classification and audit and noted that “over the past year we were able to achieve great stability of the upper and lower limits to the dollar either Aldnyar, and then we moved to a new situation this year , represented a new classification procedures adopted and auditing, as well as the offer.” Greater coverage and added that ” it is hard to be one variable indicator in this change , there are several measures and cover greater demand for the dollar, as well as emphasis on control over the sales operations with banks and regulate this process accurately based on classifications.

Dave S – “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand.”
In other words nothing has changed on a national level.
The dinar has continued to fluctuate as in the past against the dollar on a national level.
The challenge is going to an international level meaning that in order to do that their needs to be a change in “classification “, in my opinion, lower denominations for ATMs and for the purposes of auditing etc…
This is the process to get the dinar recognized on an international level.
I could be wrong but just my humble interpretation of this article.
