Stryker (Dinar Guru) – See the IMF loan approval is the start of so many other means that will not only kick start Iraq’s economy but will put Iraq into the International Markets, and there is when the CBI will change it’s monetary framework more inline with international standards, with a real exchange rate that will be used internationally as described in the Minister of Plannings feasibility study of 2011. And then (IMO) we will see the deletion of the zeros from our hands and transferred into something that we can spend to kick start our own personal economies! They just need to get all economic reforms launch to get us all there… [post 2 of 2]

Stryker (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Council Baghdad reveals a halt investment projects in the capital for “lack of ” allocations” This is why they need the IMF SBA loans approved and the other loans that will come from places like the World Bank and other lenders that will follow from this IMF board approval. The many loans will provide Iraq with the much needed funds to kick start payments on the arrears, that then will help give Iraq a better credit rating, that then will give them a better market for their bonds and a sustainable return for those bond investors. The loans will then start these stalled projects, putting people back to work and these loans will help the CBI with their private sector loans as well, that will put even more people back to work. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – tariffs are a revenue item…same as the selling of oil. The use of the currency at its true value is only relative to its use outside of the country. In other words, if the IQD is used outside of the country to settle foreign remittances at its current artificial/imposed value then two things take place; 1) the costs of imported goods remain high, and 2) the CBI runs out of IQD because Iraq has to exchange at a 1,000s of times high amount than there are IQD available to the CBI.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Central Bank Governor “long”: equality dinar dollar threatens local production and the deletion of zeros depends on stability” Quote: “*Project to delete the zeros Wayne now, why it did not apply private and it raises the value of the dinar.? – The project to delete the zeros still exists and we have a technical preparations in this area, but we are waiting for the stability of the general situation, because this is a great work when we need stability in addition to the stability in the development of institutions, in particular, what we can organize and manage the operation and supervision are not allowed with breaches or excesses.” Iraq is about as stable as it is going to get (outside of Mosul). So they should be seriously considering implication very soon. And …those kinds of statements are in direct support of raising the value as the economy grows, investment flows, etc. Again, I believe the increase in value will be used to counter the inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment once the doors really open for investors. Time will tell, but let’s hope they pass the laws we need and get the show on the road.
