wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraq new 500-dinar note with Kurdish confirmed” After reading this article/announcement…I asked why would the CBI spend $millions on a note that has a current equivalent value of $0.43. Currently, this note has no place within the market place, similar to the former 50 IQD note. Yet, they spend millions to make the Kurds happy based upon promises made years ago. IMO, this is evidence that a shift in the value of the Iraqi Dinar is near because this note will be of no value in the marketplace unless the price of product is reduced dramatically. This will happen when the value of the IQD increases dramatically OUTSIDE of Iraq.

firefly (Dinar Guru) – IMO we are no longer waiting on Iraq OR the IMF…Remember, the IMF CANNOT trigger it. There is only one agency that can trigger these events…Internationally… [the bis gives their ok to the IMF , the IMF can tell the CBI to go ahead.] Correct, it’s a 3 ring circus that has to follow the correct pattern (procedures). The CBI will show it after the fact.
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – IMO – this newly printed note is for the next 2-3 months to allow the RV to blossom. Paris Club…Kuwait…“postpone their payments”…for a reason. Article 8 will allow them to pay their own bills…How can you have all of these INTERNATIONAL payments at a program rate? All they need to do is raise their value…a rate that the INTERNATIONAL world will love.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – […lots of good info and yet we are now into july still waiting for something that should have happened months ago if it weren’t for the GOI & CBI dragging their feet!] unless, you happen to know when the CBI is going to do this, then how can you state that they are dragging their feet. This, Iraq entering the economy markets, did happen as the IMF stated it would.

Iraq and the International Monetary Fund
Hussein Ahmed Sarhan
Reading in the government’s commitments to the 2016 direction of the Fund under 22 / December / agreement in 2015
Because of the difficult economic conditions experienced by Iraq due to the escalation of the level of military spending after the control of the organization of what is known as (the Islamic state “Daash”) terrorist nearly one-third of the Iraqi state area since June 2014, and the drop in oil prices late the same year, which caused a shock of revenue for the state budget, which led to the promotion of the budget deficit.
For this purpose, the government began her meetings with international financial institutions, particularly the IMF and the World Bank for financial assistance as provided for in the general budget for the 2016 law, which requires him to issue a “letter of intent” and the memorandum of economic and financial policies…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Ramadan officially ended yesterday…Today is Eid al-Fitr, the celebration of the end of Ramadan. I do not expect to see anything breaking today, but as of tomorrow (Thursday) the wheels will begin turning again. We have a lot to look forward to!

mike (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Parliament: the signing of Iraq to loans require him to impose extra taxes on the citizens needed to be reviewed” [More pressure is what we need.] … here’s hoping Iraq feels the pressure and makes the necessary changes.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Launch Central Bank loans to finance agricultural projects” Quote: “The Ministry of agriculture, said Wednesday, launching agricultural loans from the Central Bank by ACB bin by 33% and equivalent (1, 650) trillion dinars.” WE CALLED THIS…MONTHS AGO. WE SAID THAT ONCE FALLUJAH LIBERATION WAS COMPLETED…YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO USE STOPWATCH TO TIME HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO ACTIVATE THE LARGE AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT LOAN PROJECTS…THATS OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN LOANS…IT IS HUGE FOR IRAQ!

firefly (Dinar Guru) – …appears the the new 500 dinar note count now has Kurdish language on it. The Kurds always insisted on it…looks like they got it. Quote: “For more than five years, the Central Bank of Iraq has planned to remove three zeroes from the banknotes and add Kurdish text. To date the efforts to redenominate the dinar have failed to come to fruition, but as this note demonstrates, the addition of Kurdish text is underway…” “…but as this note demonstrates, the addition of Kurdish text is underway…” If this doesn’t excite you or make you jump for joy you are literally pushing up daisies!

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Sadoun: Parliament compensate the failure of the laws of more than two months” this is coming from Kurdistan Alliance MP Mohsen al-Sadoun. Quotes: ”…there are several laws of parliamentary committees and the board of the presidency will be a priority in the voting when the new legislative term begins…” “…the new legislative term will focus on the stalled legislation for a long time there were not the will exists among the parliamentary blocs of legislation from a legal most important {oil and gas and federal court} and waiting for decisiveness.” *hallelujah* oil and gas just get it done!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ...they are closed for 3 days. They will be back on the 10th…Abadi said that as soon as “this time passes, we will do all of the reforms.” Raffidian & Rasheed banks said months ago that they were 98% ready to do loans for the citizens. They said they were going to bring the currency out at 1 to 1…and then float it. I said they could float it until it reached $4.25 and then they would cap it. At 1 to 1…a 500 IQD note would be more than suffice… this 500 note is a precursor to releasing the other LD’s. Everything must occur ALL AT ONCE! That’s why…many dominoes are being set up all at once. The rest of the LD’s will also have the Kurdistan language on them…ALL OF THEM! All of them are positioned in [secured] banks right now. This 500 IQD note released…IMO…equals a CHANGE THAT IS COMING to the IQD rate. I believe the rate will go full-speed by the end of the year. The banks in Iraq…(especially the big 3)…will hold onto the 50k’s for a while to make large transfers – which spells…NO LOP![post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – The international companies are waiting…salivating for a chance to get into Iraq…but continue to wait for them to change the value of their currency. Abadi said he solve things after EID. EID is the 6th, 7th and 8th of July. Right after EID…all of the reforms will travel at a much faster pace. [Guru] Delta called this week and says “…The CBI is going to release the 500 IQD note with the Kurdistan language on it.” As you know, the citizens already have a 500 IQD note (without the Kurdistan language on it). ...IMO…when the value of the IQD goes up…the new 500 IQD note …will be THE LARGEST DENOMINATION! There will be no more 3 zeros! The 3 zero notes will fade away…because mathematically (with the new rate)…those don’t work. When they raise the value in Iraq…the 3 zero notes won’t be usable to the citizens any longer. The plan is to lift the 3 zeros from the citizens. 500 IQD note (and notes lower than that) is all that will be used in the future. The others will be deleted over the next few years.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – [If I understood Mr. White last week, he said the CBI along with the IMF would RV or RI the Iraq currency. Did I read that wrong?] The answer to your question lies in the answer to this question; who owns the Iraq Dinar? The Central Bank of Iraq or the International Monetary Fund? The answer is on every IQD note. …there is only one entity that is responsible for maintaining the value of a currency…the central bank that owns the currency…no one else.

firefly (Dinar Guru) – All countries were supposed to be Basel 3 compliant on…July 1st…Meaning banks need to be asset backed. Last week there was a number of Bank stress tests globally. Plenty of assets in Iraq…This isn’t intel but TV news.

BGG (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Central sets Monday and Tuesday to announce the price of gold bullion” Quote: “…that according to the published rates are based on the (price of gold on the world market for the previous day – Monday), $ 15 plus other fixed costs (wire and insurance).” That gold pricing soon is big news…

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) – To just state that the money supply is increasing does not mean that the value of the dinar is falling. We know that the increase is not a concern because inflation in Iraq has been kept in check for years. The real reason the money supply is increasing is due to the liquidity problem. That is not related to the value of the dinar. As the CBI has stated many times, in their view (given their reserves) the dinar is grossly undervalued. [post 2 of 2]

The Central Bank pulls a vacation of two companies, one to sell the dollar, “betrayed the trust”
Alsumaria News / Baghdad – Central Bank announced on Monday the withdrawal of two companies leave, attributing the cause Bmkhafatthma what he described as “serious” and the other for “cheating Secretariat”, while trade demanded the cancellation of granted them certificate of incorporation.
The bank said in a statement Alsumaria News received a copy of it, “decided to leave the company to withdraw across the Gulf, to mediate in the sale and purchase of foreign currency granted to them”, adding that “the company violated work rules and betrayed the trust”.
A slight increase in central bank sales to reach $ 115 million
The central bank is required to reduce dollar sales for citizens wishing to travel
He said the bank, that “the company contracted to transport the health of residents of Nineveh staff salaries in Erbil and acquired those salaries illegally,” noting that “the amount that is acquired it is 11 billion and 432 000 466 thousand dinars.”
He said the bank “also decided to withdraw leave tamarisk company to broker the buying and selling of foreign currency as a result of serious irregularities with the terms of the granting of leave in respect of doing foreign remittances to different capitals.”…

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) – ...since 2011 the money supply in Iraq has risen about 10%. That is only 2% per year, which in world terms is quite conservative. With respect to the 50k notes, again, it is simply not the case that the CBI or anyone else just “gives out” the new bills. They are traded for other bills or are issued as replacements for worn out money. None of this affects the money supply itself. …a 2% annual increase in the money supply barely keeps up with economic growth. If the economic growth in Iraq averages, say, 4% per annum then the overall affect of a 2% growth in money supply places upward pressure on the value of the dinar, not downward. This is the key point here. It is all relative. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Bluedog (Dinar Guru) – IMO…THE ECONOMIC MEETINGS IN IRAQ WITH THE CBI HAVE BEEN INTENSE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS…AND WILL THEY TELL YOU THE TRUTH? IMO, NO …THEY WILL TAP DANCE TO THE WORLD… BE OF GOOD CHEER IMO FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN.
