Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraq receives a second loan from the International Monetary Fund” [does this mean they have raised the value of the dinar as per apparent requirement or not?] …the official value of the dinar is 1182. There is no requirement for them to raise the value. The value will rise, only as a result of the CBI unpegging the dinar when the time is right to counter inflationary pressure created by investors and investment in Iraq. They need laws, stability and progress in many areas before that can happen.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I have nothing negative to report but I also have no RV to announce… in my opinion, there’s a very simple reason: HCL. Now here’s the good news: we’ve seen more on the HCL in the last week than we saw all summer! And THAT has me smiling… Parliament is making moves… – just look at the news… The HCL (oil agreement) is once again a TOPIC… it was NOT a topic for a few months. Are we close? Obviously closer than a month ago, and I can’t say “yep for sure this week!”, but the direction is good and there are only a few things left. Iraq has the fundamental ability and motivation to RV, and that’s something that people either understand or deny. I’m monitoring the situation…

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …They had never mentioned to the government or to the IMF or anybody that they wanted to get it to a buck and then they wanted to get it to $3.25…one of the things that’s interesting as they put out the new currency, when I got into it there was an expected rate of between 4 and 12 cents. The next thing you know there was a report put out about how General Petraeus was saying how popular the dinar was getting inside of Iraq itself. Here’s what people don’t understand…they were alarmed by it. It wasn’t a good thing…we basically put more US dollars into their economy. and they started printing even more notes…adding to the note count at the beginning. You had to have faith with what these guys were doing and saying. Shabibi stated they are adding value to it and eventually we are going to take 75% of those notes out and we’re going to add value to the currency and then we’ll change this currency out and make the denominations a lot smaller…That’s the statement he put out there.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – …the IMF has given them an A+ in everything they are doing…and now they are going to reward them with that second loan…that is way ahead of schedule…the white list was way ahead of schedule. …I am not too worried about the value right now…what we were worried about or concerned about was the note count…because they told you they were lifting the 000’s…you think it is from the exchange rate…we tried to explain it to you…they are lifting it from the streets…so they can lift it from the exchange rate…and I believe they have accomplished this. There are many steps and many parts to the Monetary Policy and IMO I see that they have been accomplished…the IMF has not said one single word about 2017…IMO…the IMF is preparing them to raise the value in 2016…and the other part…Iraq talks about 2017 because that is when Iraq wants to introduce the LD’s…that are affected by the RI that is occurring right now behind closed doors… [post 3 of 3]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – Iraq came out and stated they have completed all IMF requirements...For the Financial Advisor of Abadi…Saleh…to come out and say…we’ve done everything the IMF has told us…how bold is that…for the IMF…to actually come out and say we are giving you now your second loan…in about 10 days…that will put us right about the beginning of November…I believe deep in my heart that the Monetary Policy has been launched. This Monetary Reform Plan is from the IMF…about six or seven years ago they put this together with Iraq…the Transition Rate right now is part of this plan…I believe they are doing something with their rate to try and get it to 1 to 1…and they did not write a plan for a LOP…they did not write a plan to stay at a program rate…IMO this Transitional Rate is bringing in commodities into the country of Iraq…and IMO this Transitional Rate is slowly moving up…up…for the purpose IMO to add value to the Iraqi dinar in country…I believe the negotiations that are occurring with this Transitional Rate are going to be seen with more evidence sometime around the second week of November…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – …these are interesting times…with our investment…we told you that IMO I felt around the 15th of October or just after that date the battle of Mosul would…start…I seriously, truly, and sincerely believe that once Iraq was put on the white list there was a decision made for Mosul…IMO…at 3:03 am on the 16th of this month I believe the Monetary Reform was put into its full swing of completion. The most important thing about Mosul…is that it has given us SS…STABILITY and SECURITY…SS is the reason why we are walking in the direction of the Monetary Reform now…from the nanosecond they were put on the white list…to the moment of the 3:03 am launch to attack Mosul…to begin the battle…those were the beginning of the green lights that have brought us SS now… [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – “Question: Sounds like they’re having a hard time convincing people in Iraq to have confidence in the Dinar…how can they make them want to use it?” This is the power in knowing what happens to currency…if you know how it got there you can reverse it. Remember what we did. We put US dollars in their economy. Then we did Shock and Awe and their economy collapsed they started to use the US dollar. We printed the New Iraqi Dinar. They started using it. Remember…the dinar count at that time was around 30 Trillion dinar at it’s peak and 9 billion notes max…A report from the IMF said the Iraqi dinar’s real market rate was between 4 and 12 cents and I bought dinars based on that.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Rasheed Bank intends to apply to transfer your money IBAN system” Quote: “Rasheed Bank announced on Thursday its intention to apply the “IBAN” your system to transfer money in and out of Iraq…” [Surely to transfer money internationally , your money has to be internationally recognized?] The dinar is already internationally recognized. It’s a choice by most banks to not accept it and exchange it worldwide because they are still in Article XIV under the IMF. Article VIII of sorts provides a sense of assurance that the CBI meets international standards and requirements (and therefore, makes the dinar more internationally accepted at the banks). What the Rasheed is doing here is a good thing for sure, but Article VIII will also be needed for it to be beneficial to Iraq.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Ive been watching the efforts to take back Mosul. (It’s all over the news). I’m hearing VERY good things from my contacts in Iraq, backing up the positive stuff we are all seeing in regards to the fight against isis. I like it. Also good news is hearing about parliament continuing to hold timely sessions. Next stop… hcl? Let’s hope so! …nobody is giving me dates or rates. I talk to people that are far more connected to the inside workings of Iraq than I myself am, and I’ll be blunt – there’s been times that they flat out told me “Adam nothing is moving right now.” Thats not the vibe right now. …I’m returning to cautiously optimistic that we will see some major announcements that will either include the HCL or will be obvious openers for the HCL.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “The government issued a system of deposit protection .. Parliament seeks to enacted law “enhance confidence” in the banking system” Another IMF Requirement for the MR being done…Good.
