Backdoc (Dinar Guru) – TOO MANY POSITIVE THINGS OCCURRING. I WISH I COULD SHARE CERTAIN THINGS BUT THEY ARE TOO SENSITIVE! …WHEN THINGS ARE THE WORST THEY ARE THE BEST! REMEMBER MY STUDY WINDOW, SEPT. 2ND TO MID OCTOBER! VALUE IS LIKE WATER, IT WILL SEEK ITS LEVEL! THE RAIN IS ABOUT TO COME!
______________________________________________________________
rcookie (Dinar Guru) – THEY TASKED THEMSELVES AT BEGINNING OF 2015 …TO OVER THE COMING 24 MONTHS TO REDUCE THE AUCTIONS BY 75%…FROM JAN 1ST 2015 TO DEC 2015 THEY REDUCED BY 25%…FROM JAN 2016 TO JULY 2016 THEY REDUCED BY 24.9%…SO THEY HAVE ANOTHER 5 MONTHS AND ARE ON GOAL TO REACH THEIR 75% REDUCTION OVER 24 MONTHS…
______________________________________________________________
Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …again to do that [add value to the Dong] the same exact scenario that any country would have to do if they want to add value to their currency…they’re going to have to reduce the note count…so there’s no difference between Vietnam, Iraq, United States, Russia…People are predicting that China is going to start sooner or later adding value to their currency…what’s that going to do is open up the door for Vietnam to add value because they can add value and compete against China at the same time….that’s where it’s coming from and again, you know the numbers are coming from the Vietnamese government…that hasn’t changed…what they need to compete on a global scale and to be able to have cheap labor and all that stuff they want to raise the value to about 2 or 3 cents…that’s it…that’s all they need. In fact if they raise it any higher than that it might ruin the formula that they have to compete in the region so they’re not going to go too high. [Post 2 of 2]

BGG (Dinar Guru) – [Tuesday looks like parliamentarian issues are over. Where do we turn our eyes to = next?] Not exactly – but moving more and more that direction… [Amnesty and J&A?] I just don’t agree fully with the “all good – all done” mentality… getting MUCH closer – to be sure…AND it’s not impossible these last few Parliament issues are on a separate track altogether…as in parallel and not interfering with one another… once the IMF and UN has whatever it is they are requiring (and there is something there) they make the next move (we are looking for) toward economic reform…BTW – currency reform is just one more step in the development of Iraq into a global trade partner they are looking for…which they very much appear to be on a fast-track towards.
______________________________________________________________
Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market” Well, a 100,000 dinar note is going in the wrong direction in regards to opening the banking system for international commerce, freedom of movement of capital, achieving IMF Article VIII etc. and perpetuate a market economy. I believe this was discussed at the time of the release of the 50k and the CBI stated their was no need for the 100k. That being said, if the notes are issued and are meant to reduce the physical notes (4-25k for 1-100k), then it may help draw the dinar out from under the mattresses. This all seems a bit late, since time is not on their side for such a plan anymore. They need to open the banking system, reform the currency and value, and invite international investment and investors to Iraq now. Such a move IMO is risky and unnecessary at this time and would cause further delays.
______________________________________________________________
Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …it’s not a prediction it’s what we are talking about in Vietnam itself…you know I would never just throw a number out there unless it’s something that the government has talked about or they proposed and they’ve always proposed they wanted to get it [dong] up to two cents…remember they are competing against China and geopolitics…that’s what creates the pace. At the time when Vietnam talked about that they actually wanted to add a little value to the currency, well because of other politics that were going on in the region, China decided to start devaluing it’s currency and so it forced Vietnam to shelf adding value to the currency. Well that’s off the table now…it’s not a prediction it’s what Vietnam wants…

BGG (Dinar Guru) – [In you opinion could this literally happen any at time as in today…or are there more benchmarks to look for such as lower denoms or critical dates?] here’s my take…with the recent WB/IMF/UN oversight in Iraq – things are changing rapidly – security, political, economic – these things Maliki should have been working on 8 years ago – they are getting done NOW – at “warp speed”…today – tomorrow? I doubt it…soon? [ill take soon.] Not impossible – but the next however long looks VERY, VERY promising…
______________________________________________________________
BGG (Dinar Guru) – [It seems like so many things like Mosul , corruption , parliament , etc. are coming together … many have said things.will happen all at once … do you see this as a coincidence?] I do not see those items as coincidence… THESE ITEMS ARE THE STORY. IMHO. Not getting into date and rate here – I’m just saying – the progress is stunning AND… it surely leads to the step we are all interested in…the point of currency reform the includes a change in the value of the IQD…However, I make this point again…currency reform – value change…what we are after…is just one of the steps they will likely take in the whole process of economic reform and full reintegration with the world’s financial systems…this whole process is playing out PLAINLY – before our VERY EYES…Things are VERY, VERY exciting lately.
______________________________________________________________
SteveI (Dinar Guru) – I think things are extremely positive…Now we watch Mosul return to being free followed by controlling the borders, then watch Iraq explode economically and globally. Sit back and let it come to you, and it surely will when they are ready. I think they are ready or almost ready. Remember, if I thought there was even a slight chance of this not happening I would simply…move on. Good times ahead!

mike (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Front reform: we will vote unanimously to dismiss Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi” Quote: “MP for the Reform Front, Mohammed Chihod, on Friday, that the Front will vote on the dismissal of Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi, a unanimous vote after no conviction Bojobth.” For sure, there are two groups vying for control of Iraq right now, those who want to maintain the status quo and the other wants change. So far we’re at a stalemate, especially now that Tariq Harb is saying Mahmood can’t be forced out, but hopefully the good guys come out on top. The judiciary is going to be even more important pretty soon, the investigative teams and UN can find all the evidence against the corrupt but in the end, Iraq needs a functioning judiciary to charge, prosecute and imprison those who are guilty. Right now, with Mahmood in, they don’t have that. IMO.
______________________________________________________________
tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “we seek to secure financial alternatives for the sustainability of the services” yep…we don’t want Iraq to get even a lil bit comfortable with oil prices inching up. They need a permanent contingency plan for now and the future to be able to generate income away from oil!
______________________________________________________________
rcookie (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraq: 21 international investigators to examine the prime ministers of corruption files” Quote: “…the 21 international investigators will arrive in Baghdad at the end of this month to start an investigation into financial corruption files, based on a memorandum of understanding signed by the Iraqi government with the United Nations last week...” SO…ANYONE IN NEED OF ANSWERING THE SOMETIMES RHETORICAL QUESTION AS TO WHY MALIKI AND SOME OF THE WHALES RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MUCH THEFT…CORRUPTION AND DAMAGE TO IRAQ & ITS PEOPLE ARE STILL WALKING AROUND AND NOT YET BROUGHT TO JUSTICE….HERE IS YOUR ANSWER…JUSTICE SOON AWAITS…THE CHARGES AWAITING MALIKI ALONE ARE OVER 4 PAGES LONG… THIS IS HUGE…HUGE…ABADI IS A GENIUS…
______________________________________________________________
rcookie (Dinar Guru) – […I would think to pay foreign contractors their would need to be some sort of rate established.] THERE DOES…AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY THE IMF TASKED THEM TO OVERHAUL THEIR CREDIT REGISTRY AND RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESSES…NEED TO BE READY FOR THE INVESTMENT WHALES.
______________________________________________________________
Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “…the US panel competent to combat financial intelligence department personnel discovered 300 banking company and money transfer and 6 suspicious Iraqi banks operate offense laundering financial aid, noting that the committee has reached Baghdad…” IMO, time is of the essence to activate the banking system. That being said, this committee is there to clean up the mess so reforms can proceed.
______________________________________________________________
Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Economic parliamentary: the decision to adopt $ 35 for a barrel of oil in the budget of 2016 is a given right” Quote: “…the government consulted with the International Monetary Fund and made a decision to reduce the price of oil per barrel in the 2016 budget from 45 to $ 35 for control of the state requirements, as the 2016 budget of 105 trillion dinars reduced to 90 trillion dinars to control the deficit.” What I find encouraging about this article is the fact that they are seeking consultation from the IMF with what to do regarding their budget…lean on the knowledge of others who run far bigger entities in the world.
______________________________________________________________
rcookie (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Parliament went to resolve points of contention in the Justice and Accountability Law Tuesday” A & J LAW VOTE ON TUESDAY [&] THE GENERAL AMNESTY LAW…LOOKS LIKE BOTH WILL BE VOTED ON TUESDAY THE 23RD..THE 2 BIGGEST LAWS OF NATIONAL UNITY & RECONCILIATION… 2 FOR THE PRICE OF 1 AND THEY ARE HUGE…VERY IMPORTANT.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) – ...IRAQ IS GOING TO HAVE AN INVESTMENT SERVICES COMPLEX TO ACCESS AND UNDERSTAND THE SERVICES OFFERED TO INVESTORS INCLUDING INTEGRATED SERVICES ACCESS TO GOV’T AGENCIES IN ONE PLACE…1 STOP SHOPPING AND INVESTOR SERVICES ACCESS!…THAT IS AWESOME!!
______________________________________________________________
firefly (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “He predicted the financial advisor to the Prime Minister that “the budget deficit in 2017 up to about $ 18 billion,” stressing that “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.” Now this is Saleh talking! Abadi’s Financial advisor. This is worth repeating: “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.” Remember, the IMF’s role is preparations for countries through Article IV meetings. …we are watching the play in the front row seats!

tman23 (Dinar Guru) – IMO…Ernest and Young are to be close to finishing setting up the 2 state banks near End of October… October is when the WB and IMF funds are scheduled to be released to Iraq… October is when we will see the liberation of Mosul… Basically…The CBI will have 60 days to the first of the year to introduce and educate citizens on the lower denoms… WE should begin to hear tons of chatter on the subject mid to late September.
______________________________________________________________
rcookie (Dinar Guru) – …THE REAL TELLING NUMBER IN THE RELEASED 2017 BUDGET DATA…FOR THE FIRST TIME THEIR GDP IS UNDER 90% OIL RELIANT REVENUES…THAT MEANS THEIR NON OIL REVENUE STREAMS LIKE CUSTOMS TARIFFS…ELECTRICITY & TELECOMMUNICATION TAXES…NATURAL GAS…LNG AND CONDENSATE AND OTHER EXPORT PRODUCTS ARE MAKING IRAQ LESS OIL RELIANT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN…AND THE DIRECTION THE 3 LETTER AGENCIES WANT TO SEE THEM GO…
______________________________________________________________
BGG (Dinar Guru) – [lots of news…just cant believe how much has been going on in Iraq!] I can’t believe it either. In fact, one has to wonder when that “tipping point” is…when so much is done, so much is accomplished, their economy is in such a state the “grossly undervalued” price of the Dinar is doing them considerable economic harm…there was a time the currency imbalance worked for them – however, I think they are nearing this place where they would like it to be “upped”…The flip side of Iraq wanting their currency “upped” – is they aren’t the ones with the ultimate say…which brings us back to the IMF/UN being in such critical advisory roles. Iraq’s GOI has BEEN ON FIRE to get their democracy righted since January… what changed? IMF/UN oversight… there has to be some carrot…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – the Financial Committee met two days ago with the CBI…It is important…that you understand that this meeting…IOO was…the very first time…the Finance Committee actually met with the CBI…and they talked about the IQD…their currency…their currency’s true rate…and about the exchange rate about their currency… Abadi said the new budget is going to reflect the lifting of the 000’s from our exchange rate. …so…are you guys done? …CBI…we’ve been ready for a long time…we’ve been waiting for security…we’ve been waiting for terrorism to go away…we’ve been waiting for corruption to go away within us and the GOI…I think we are ready…Dr. Shabibi said that the next budget will reflect the new numbers of these meetings….I don’t know what the rate will be…I don’t even know when they are going to do this…but I do know that these are the things they are saying to us.

Allak has been holding the proxy position as the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq…and…Abadi and Dr. Shabibi IMO…were busy selecting the governor of the CBI…besides the ministers…the proxy governor of the CBI is about to be replaced…IMO Allak’s replacement is already on the plane. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – Mosul is what we look at right now…through the eyes of the United Nations, the WTO, and the United States of America…The IMF suggested to the country of Iraq that you should float your currency…and that you should enter the international world in the first half of the year and we will take you there in 2016…and that you should remove corruption from the CBI and the GOI…and the UN and the coalition forces will help you remove the corruption of ISIS and DAASH in your country. As we sit on top of a very big mountain right now and look down upon the scenery below us…we see these things accomplished…and as we get closer and closer we are seeing that many things are accomplished.

mike (Dinar Guru) – ...they’ll get this open market economy up and running and the country will prosper or they won’t and in a short time they won’t be able to make payroll for the 4 million plus state employees and then all hell is going to break loose. They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and I’m hoping this applies to Iraq as well. Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO. [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
mike (Dinar Guru) – Until Iraq develops the political will for change, things will be the same two years from now as well…here’s the thing, they can’t afford to continue the way they’ve always done things. The financial crutch and foundation for this corrupt nation has all but evaporated. Oil will not save the day for Iraq and it’s corrupt leadership anymore. The reserves, or the nation’s safety net, is eroding at an alarming rate and in a short time there won’t be enough money to borrow to keep this country afloat. Two things will happen in Iraq… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

We don’t believe that these two aspects of the Amnesty Law…will hold anything up or is something that we’re waiting to have happen. I will say this, looking at this thing from my perspective; it appears we are coming down to the wire. It appears this is to go between now and the weekend. I’m not going to name dates. I’m not going to name days. I’m excited about how close we are.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) – Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used. With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly. Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.] Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher. If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

It’s the parliament, the ministry of Planning, the ministry of Finance and then the CBI…if you have those 4 talking about it in THAT order then it means something. What are the numbers. Who’s passing the law…that’s what I want to know. The CBI said they were going to add value to the currency. The ministry of planning said they were going to add value to their currency. The minister of Finance said we are going to add value to the currency. Parliament said we are going to add value to the currency. The IMF is on board so Iraq can add value to their currency…If you don’t understand this part of it, it’s tough to follow. How do you do it? The numbers are there. It’s not an opinion. [Post 2 of 2]
