Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Funding Facility for Economic Reform established to invigorate IraqÂ?s reform initiatives”  Quote:  “…UNDP will support the Government of Iraq to address key economic challenges and invigorate the reform agenda. Diversifying the economy, increasing national income, and improving the management of national assets will be of specific focus.”   Very good article.  It appears the UN is helping Iraq push these needed reforms forward.
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Instead, KAP discovered years ago and we have elaborated on many times, a floating currency is the only thing that will work in the real world.  But more importantly, this guy is convinced that a value of somewhere around $1.20 per dinar is economically feasible and desirable.  Furthermore, he implies that this has been in the government’s plan book for over 4 years, as KAP has already explained for the last 4 years!  In other words, he is confirming…the correct view of the situation while at the same time specifically denying that an RV would work.  Finally, as KAP noted, we see that, at least from this writer’s point of view, the only thing now holding up the implementation of the float is the ISIS situation.  It is anyone’s guess what will be necessary to convince the government to move forward, but it is possible that recovery of Mosul might be sufficient.  Only time will tell.   [post 2 of 2]

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Raise the price of the Iraqi dinar to the fore again”   Quotes:  “Some Iraqi economist calls for the government to lift the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against the dollar until the rising purchasing power and increasing confidence it represents the sovereignty of Iraq…”   “…Since more than four years and officials in Iraq are talking about a project monetary reform in which to raise the Iraqi currency exchange rate against the dollar so that the new dinar equals 1.2 dinars...”  “The government is expected to return to the project itself after the end of military operations.”    This is one of the most positive articles I have read in a long time.  The author clearly states that it is not possible to “RV” in the traditional sense and explains why.

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   The question, then, is “When will the Dinar Currency of Iraq Revalue?” This investment is not a scam, but you must be prepared to wait for things to happen. It may revalue, or “reinstate”, to a previous level, which would make many of us rich overnight… or it might grow slowly, over time, giving a nice return on an investment that many of us were smart enough to make. One thing I do know, for a fact… the Iraqi Dinar will not stay at it’s current “value” forever.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Here are a couple of very real facts: Iraq has a majority of the world’s natural reserves and crude oil, putting it on the same level as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. If you know anything at all about Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, you should know that their currency is very valuable and their natural resources are the reason. So, why isn’t Iraq as rich as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait? That answer is simple – they only recently established a stable government, elections are now being held successfully, and the march towards financial recovery is progressing steadily. Crime and terrorism is lower and lower all the time! And just as importantly – the Iraqi people are unjustly impoverished as a result of the recent chaos, and they cannot remain in that situation for much longer – not when they control a major amount of the world’s  “black gold”.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   This is the question I’ve been seeing a lot lately: “Is it a scam”? In a word – NO.  The Iraqi Dinar is an item that has a past, present, and future value.  We can put a dollar amount on that value for the past and the present, so the only real question is what the future value will be. If the value raises, you can profit. It’s THAT simple. Keep this in mind when you read anything on the dinar – a savvy speculator must always be able to separate fact, opinion, and distractions. Here are some facts that will help you with this question of whether or not the “Iraqi Dinar” is a scam. The Iraqi Dinar Currency that is used today in Iraq is arguably one of the most sophisticated currencies in the world. The technology that makes it almost impossible to effectively produce usable counterfeit dinar currency is amazing.  …what about the “investment” itself? Is investing in the dinar currency a scam?  The simplest concept you need to understand when talking about the Dinar Currency is that nobody is going to be able to tell you exactly when it will revalue. But does that mean the Iraqi Dinar Currency hype is a scam? Absolutely not!  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Include the introduction of modern irrigation systems”  Quote:  “The Ministry of Agriculture to prepare new plans aimed at developing the sector, by increasing production through farmer support modern systems of irrigation legalized.”  Remember, one of the IMF requirements was to have Iraq diversify their reserves other than just oil.  Agriculture is as great an ASSET as is oil and gold.  Iraq is following the IMF requirements to the TEE.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    …measures need to be in place for the success of the transition from a fixed rate to a float.  Just exactly to what extent is yet to be seen.  That being said, I believe once the dinar is internationally convertible worldwide and the CBI is in Article VIII, demand will increase for the dinar.  Just the exposure alone to the world financial system should be enough to create some upward movement in the value. 
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Raise the price of the Iraqi dinar to the fore again”   Seems pretty clear that the author/economists want to raise the value gradually like we have stated over and over.  The good news is they say they expect it to start once ISIL is gone.  Quote:  “The government is expected to return to the project itself after the end of military operations.”

A Dinar Round Table Call
“with the whole DU Crew!!”

______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   “Headline: Securities recorded an increase of 308% in the number of shares traded last week”  (that would be for the ISX)…and 130.7% the week before...it would appear the “chunky money” and investors are feeling more and more secure in their own market place BY THE DAY!  [That’s a week over week volume increase.]   They know what’s coming. I just hope they leave a little meat on the bone for us.  It just shows the mood of the private investor – which is good for us…They aren’t complaining about the “worthlessness of their currency” – they are slingin’ that stuff around like a fat kid chasing ice cream cones!
______________________________________________________________

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   I don’t have a date nor a rate but one thing is for certain, we are standing on the edge of the precipice.  And… IT WILL NOT Be A FREE FLOAT LIKE SOME FOLKS SUGGEST.  Those that suggest a free float are not very versed on the laws set up by the IMF and the WB a few years ago.
______________________________________________________________

Loop (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “the signing of the agreement represents an important signal to the international arena that Iraq is committed to all the rules of transparency in international arbitration in case of dispute between the investors and the states,” and expressed hope that “Iraq is essential to attracting capital and center.”   Huge step forward to open the doors to the wall of Investors.  IT’s right out of article 22 of the Investment Law.  Article 22:  The foreign investor shall enjoy additional privileges in accordance with international agreements signed between Iraq and his country or multilateral international agreements which Iraq has joined.

Loop (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Keywords: private banks, their performance distinctive and are satisfied with it”  Alak came out today punching the media for misreporting.  …he is saying…out of 60 private banks only 2 or 3 are not where they should be and they are currently work with them to correct this.  …ealier in the week a MP on the finance committee came out with the figure that the CBI reserves are 40 billion dollars and Alak came out today saying that the reserves are 49 billion dollars and that they are well within international accepted standards. In addition they…the reserves cover the local currencies by a “large margin”.   It’s important to note that most countries in the world only have enough reserves to cover their currency by 10%.  Iraq can currently cover their currency by over a 100%.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –   What’s the deal with the math with Iraq?  Take a look at this…look at their economy now.  How much oil are they producing compared to how many people they have and the market prices.  Now go look before the first gulf war.  They are producing more.  There are more people in the world buying oil so the whole thing is bigger.  But their currency is at a tenth of a penny?  You think that’s the market rate?  Are you blind?  This is for the people who are not in this investment…how blind are you?  Obviously the currency is artificially held down…Go by the math.  All the math is there.  All the proof is there.  You don’t need to have doubts.  The question is, when is this going to happen?   Everything I talk about is based on principle..it’s the numbers…It’s everything.  Fortunately, I didn’t come up with those numbers.  Guess who came up with those numbers?  The Ministry of Finance.  The Ministry of Planning.  The parliament.  the CBI.  That’s what you need to worry about.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   “the signing of the agreement represents an important signal to the international arena that Iraq is committed to all the rules of transparency in international arbitration in case of dispute between the investors and the states,” and expressed hope that “Iraq is essential to attracting capital and center.”   …the agreement represents an important signal to the international arena… BOOM!! they are providing assurances, protections and a way in and out for international investors.  these are CRITICAL items to the freedom of movement of capital in and out of Iraq. [The agreement was signed at the United nations.]  yes, which BTW…was more than a little shocking to me.  It appears the UN is much more involved I imagined.

Ebadi: I did not understand Nuri al-Maliki orders the withdrawal of three teams from Mosul

Treasures Media – Follow-up – Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who now leads the battle to liberate Mosul that so far did not understand why gave orders that day Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of the three divisions of the Iraqi army to withdraw from Mosul, leaving their weapons and tanks to Daesh withdrawal and to come to Baghdad, he said…

More: http://dinarupdates.com/blog/

Loop ~ What is very encouraging about what is going on with regards to Maliki is that there is a common narrative that is being presented via the media. That is that the reason that Iraq is in the current financial crisis is because of the actions of Maliki. He stole the lions share of the money, he killed or jailed anyone who opposed he, and he allowed Daesh to take over Mosul. IMO.. There is much more to the meeting in Geneva between Abadi and the representatives from the International Criminal Courts (Hague).

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:   “the signing of the agreement represents an important signal to the international arena that Iraq is committed to all the rules of transparency in international arbitration in case of dispute between the investors and the states,” and expressed hope that “Iraq is essential to attracting capital and center.”  This shows that the GOI has been signing agreements/conventions that we never knew about. The GOI has been doing this because they do not require the Parliament consent to do so.  HUGE…well as important bilateral and international conventions signed by Iraq and the number of States”… And where was this announcement made?  the United Nations…The agreement was signed at the United nations.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  …much of the expectation we’ve all had – was directly inspired by Abadi and Alak. They are the ones telling us when they were going to “start the project”… whatever “delay” Alak commented on – seems to drawing to a close…the delay – appears to be the handling of Mosul. They expected this done sooner – it wasn’t… looks like now it is.  That’s the key – AND, I fully expect some very good news coming out of Mosul this coming week.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    [...is HCL land boundries and alotment for oil?]  HCL is (generally) referrred to as “The Hydro-Carbon Law” – AKA H.C.L.   there are several variants.  for a true HCL – it is possible they need to solve Article 140 – which will require a truely accurate census… (none of which will happen soon)…now – here’s the good news…They have managed to “side-step” this whole issue by regularly “codifying” something of an HCL agreement in each and every annual budget…since 2015?  HCL isn’t so much land boundaries as it is – WHO GETS WHAT… in simplest terms…how much each bunch gets.  But…they have handled it – in more of a technical “end around”…  […always heard no hcl no reval.]  Let me help you – that’s bull ****.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Iraq joins the transparency in the arbitration agreement between investors and states”  Oh wow – they are REALLY BEATING THIS DRUM right now…  Once international investment has both and way in and a way out – you can have “freedom of movement of capital” – AKA TRUE EXCHANGE…then the IQD will be able to move freely as well. They may not be “there” just yet, but they aren’t far off.  [You mean freedom as in some form of FREE MARKET ECONOMY!]  in every sense of the word.
______________________________________________________________

Loop (Dinar Guru) –   Investors will not come to Iraq in any meaningful way until they are sure that they can get their initial investments and profits out of Iraq whenever they choose to do so. Investors coming into Iraq is a major part to ensuring that Iraq realizes it’s vision of being one of the riches countries in the world…   Now for the million dollar question.  Is the investment law needed prior to an increase the purchasing power of the dinar? IMO…NOT HAVING THE INVESTMENT LAW PASSED WILL NOT STOP THEM FROM AN RV…HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE TO HAPPEN SHORTLY THERE AFTER IF THEY WANT THE WALL OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO COME IN A SUPPORT THE MOVE OTHERWISE THEIR ECONOMY MOST LIKELY WOULD FALTER…HUGE PIECE OF NEWS!  [post 2 of 2]

Loop (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq joined the Convention on the transparency between investors and states”  Quote:  “National Investment Commission announced on Wednesday it had signed an agreement on transparency in the arbitration treaty-based investor-State in 2014 at the United Nations headquarters in New York.”  What is very encouraging about…this article, is that it indicates that some of these international and bilateral agreements have already been signed. Which is right in line with Article 22 of the Investment Law…this is a very big tell. Why on earth would they even bother with these agreements unless they had every intention of needing them in the near future?   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BGG ~ SWEET!! When is this happening?? ASAP!!

______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) – Article:  “Iraq joins the Convention on transparency between investors and the States”  (the vitally important paragraph…) …”Iraq has issued a number of legislation that works to protect the investor and capital to do business in the country, at the forefront of investment law number 13 year 2006 and amendments which carries a lot of features and protection for investors, as well as important bilateral and international conventions signed by Iraq and the number of States”…   I don’t think I can stress enough – how important this is…and it may not IMMEDIATELY = what your timeline “wants” are – but it is BIG NEWS. Likely, THE TURNING POINT…   Read that last paragraph again… (and again) – This may be THE NUMBER ONE piece of Dinar News “pre-RV”.   I have been looking for a couple of important pieces to fall into place, this is one of the top 2 or 3…HANG ON!

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   …Prime Minister Haider Abadi, the Iraqi in Munich Security Conference…What message was VP Pence delivering to Abadi, likely IMO coming straight from President Trump…those are the true nuggets of this trip…will Abadi head back to Baghdad tonight on his own personal red-eye flight…has he been given the green light from the leader of the free world…to step Iraq into a new realm…That is what I watch for…it is coming…IMO.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Do you think President Barak Obama, President George Bush Jr., President Bill Clinton and President Trump and can get together and deem these note this value and then all of a sudden they are worth a buck?  If you think they can do that and have the power to do that then you’ll buy anything.  That’s not how it works.  They still have to reduce the note count no matter what.  No country in the last 100 years has gone outside those principles.  This is very easy to follow.   [Post 2 of 2]
