Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…In other words we’re safe all the way up to $1.17…But if a war actually breaks out…So what’s Iraq’s plan? Iraq wants to get to $1.17 and then they actually put on the table a different economic plan which get’s them to $3.25. So that plan is going to be completely put to the wayside until the civil war is over with…IF it comes. So that’s the threat if they have an Islamic civil war in the Middle East…the $3.25 rate which Iraq wants to get to. But up to $1.17 you’re fine…I’m not saying they’re going to come out there. They’ll probably come out way lower and build their way up. So the turmoil in the middle east is only a threat from $1.17 on up. Up to $1.17 it is not. Nothing may come of it but that’s the way you have to plan for it…Here are a couple scenarios that can happen. And I have a game plan for each and everyone of them. Some people can stay in and risk because they have a lot more dinar. Some people, when it revalues at whatever rate, they need to get out. However it works out but that’s the way it is. So remember it’s [Islamic Civil War] a threat to the higher rate not the lower rate… [Post 2 of 2]

You have to know the different variables coming down the road and the different possibilities…I want to talk about the rate, there are articles coming out that we have Saudi Arabia pointing their fingers at Iran saying…these missiles coming from Yemen – that’s a declaration of war…If there’s going to be an Islamic civil war that’s going to affect Iraq right?

sandyf (Dinar Guru) – “The Tariff Law – “The new tariff, which went into effect on January 19, imposes a 30 percent customs duty on imported goods coming through Iraq’s crossing points, exempting the autonomous region of Kurdistan.” When the Tariff Law was introduced Iraq needed Kurdistan to help clear ISIS so they exempted them from the law, but in doing so stopped any further dealings with the WTO.

World Bank: Recent reforms in Iraq pave the way for further progress
“In 2016/2017, Iraq has been able to implement fundamental changes in the local regulatory framework in two main areas: starting business and obtaining credit,” the World Bank said in a recent 2018 Doing Business business titled “Equal Opportunities for All”.”Starting a business is easier in Iraq by combining multiple registration procedures and shortening the time required to register companies. Entrepreneurs are no longer required to register their companies independently with the General Authority for Taxation, and the time required to register companies has been reduced due to the increased resources available in registration departments and the improvement of the electronic registration system.
“Iraq has been working to improve access to credit information by launching a credit registry run by the Central Bank of Iraq. As of January 1, 2017, this register included 234,967 clients and 4,877 commercial borrowers, and provided information on their prospective history over the past five years. ”

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) – Over the years, there has been more than 1 Plan, to substantially increase the value of Iraq’s currency, as well as Vietnam’s currency. We only talk about the Dinar & the Dong, because these are the only 2 currencies, we have interest in. We believe that all other currencies for now, are simply “Not a good investment”, too speculative, not timed right, and fraught with too many disqualifying factors, for substantial increase, anytime soon, if EVER. We have NO strong evidence to the contrary. However, the Iraq Dinar and the Vietnam Dong is different. We believe that BOTH of these, are a VERY GOOD Gamble, and we don’t see that changing. All of you that say, “Nobody knows the timing”, would be Wrong. There ARE those that know EXACTLY when these 2 currencies will increase substantially. They know the Day and the Rates.

Mike (Dinar Guru)- Article: “Baghdad clamping down on the banks of Iraqi Kurdistan” [What does it mean the the cbi has stopped the dollar sales to Kurdistan?] It’s another exchange restriction prohibiting the Kurd’s from having access to the dollar. Now they’ll go through the money exchangers instead of the banks. We’ll watch and see how this effects the spread…
______________________________________________________________
sandyf (Dinar Guru)- The term “International currency” does not mean anything. There are 3 types of currency – Fully convertible, Partially convertible and Non convertible. Article 14 currencies by virtue of their status with the IMF are Non convertible. Article 8 currencies are normally able to be exchanged worldwide but at the discretion of the exchanger. When a currency becomes volatile an exchanger may well refuse to exchange as happened with the Russian Rouble not that long ago.

sandyf (Dinar Guru) – …from a well known guru… “The CBI has said something about a rate of $1.15 in-country to go into effect in 72 hours;” ” Yes, but they will probably have a different rate in-country, just like the Iraqi dinar has a different rate structure in Iraq as opposed to overseas. ” If the person concerned had done their homework they would be aware of a factual situation of different exchange rates in and out of the country. Introducing new currency codes is not an overnight event as accounting software companies must amend the software to accept the new code. In the case of redenominations it has normally been done about four months before introduction. If Iraq, or any other country, is to have a different rate inside to outside the country then it is not going to happen any time soon.

Mike (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraq still under the category of bankrupt countries?” Gee whiz, this guy sounds so negative: “He added that “the budget reveals beyond doubt the inability of any realistic treatments to find development, even if it is a formality to open future prospects to reduce dependence on oil revenues and stop domestic and external borrowing, which has no horizon to stop it and the payment of accumulated it puts the Iraqi economy in the near future on the verge of bankruptcy.” We have waited, literally, for years in hopes that Iraq would change and embrace the open market economy and allow the dinar to grow in value. And all we’re getting is the same old budget where expenditures exceed revenue. The existing political class is failing the Iraqi people. Like Mark Twain said, “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.”

And that will not change unless something drastic were to happen to Iraq, and the economic powers of the world will not let that occur imo. Iraq is too valuable. It is the diamond in the rough for U.S., Russia, Europe, China, and all of Asia and the M.E. Follow the money. Maybe just a wee bit longer

Iraq: World Bank grants $ 400 million for reconstruction
The World Bank on Tuesday approved $ 400 million in financial aid to help rebuild Iraq after the liberation of many cities from the control of the Da’ash organization.
The World Bank said in a statement that the aid package aims to “support the recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation of priority infrastructure facilities in order to restore the provision of public services in newly liberated Iraqi areas from the grip of a sympathetic organization.”
The aid is additional funding for the $ 350 million emergency development project in Iraq, approved in July 2015 and being implemented in seven cities in Diyala and Salahaddin provinces, the statement added.
The additional funding is expected to expand the geographical scope of the current project activities to include other cities liberated from the control of Daed in the provinces of Salah al-Din and Diyala, in addition to areas in Anbar, Kirkuk, Nineveh and Dahuk of the Kurdistan Regional Government, according to the statement.

Iraqi sovereign fund
Government official trends in economic reform are becoming clearer and clearer, as we see through international institutions, which contribute in practice to their loans and grants to make Iraq a better place in the face of the destruction of the Da’ashi and the consequences of projects destroyed by corruption.
The Iraqi sovereign fund may be considered by virtue of the fact that it is currently under establishment and may not be fully in accordance with international economic standards. However, it will be ready and highly flexible in the service of the national economy in order to prevent fluctuations in oil prices and free the Iraqi economy from dependence on international prices and negative effects on the budget. in general.

These simulations were done beginning Jan. 1st 2017 to present. They paired the dinar against all of the currencies that are used in Iraq. They experimented with the figures as floating and fixed. And all of the data has been presented to the decision makers in CBI. That’s my take. I’m excited that this was posted on the CBI site and they seem to be giving those two choices. I personally would take either one.

Iran’s closure of the border after the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) insisted on holding an independence referendum when Iranian General Mohammad Baqeri said that “the Kurdistan government’s insistence on secession from Iraq will lead to a bloody war between the region and Iraq as well as neighboring countries like Iran and Turkey.”

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) – “Achieving Growth in Contexts of Great Challenge: The Iraqi Private Banking Sector” The very fact that this conference exists is a good sign. It shows that all parties are aware of the problem and are attempting to work out a solution. The issue of whether any bank coming into a correspondent relationship will find it likely that they will make money is a serious concern. …At the same time there was a clear understanding by one of the members of the “wild west” theory that KAP [Guru Kaperoni] and I have talked about for years. She said almost the same thing we have been saying all along, namely that once the movement begins it will snowball and lead to very rapid economic growth in Iraq. It is the beginning of the snowball that is the current problem. Several members indicated that the laws and regulations are now in place, but that implementation is what is lacking. This, to me, is a positive step. I think that this is a lot like the snowball affect that I just mentioned: it just needs to get started. Once it does the confidence level will rise in bank usage. Once that happens foreign banks will want to get involved as well. [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

As with my other comments above I believe that this snowball affect will be the most important, once it begins. The statement by one of the Iraqi bankers…was quite revealing, namely that he appealed to the CBI to just given the banks a checklist of things that need to be done to bring them into full compliance. I would wager that this proposal will be acted upon quickly by the CBI, once it is presented to them, and that full compliance across the board will occur shortly thereafter. One thing is clear: all of the Iraqi bank representatives expressed a deep desire to be fully compliant. The statement was simple: “Just tell us what to do and we will do it!” [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

The Baghdad Economic Forum in cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers folded the second episode of a continuous series aimed at finding real development mechanisms that promote all sectors. The two sides discussed in the presence of a group of parliamentarians, economists, specialized institutions and international embassies on the subject of “sovereign funds in Iraq and their role in economic development”. Challenges that limit the activation of projects and the implementation of projects in all cities of Iraq.
The workshop, which was conducted by economist Bassem Jameel Antoine, began with the speech of the secretary-general of the Cabinet, followed by Acting Representative Karrar Mohammed Abdul-Zahra. He said: “The need for sovereign funds in Iraq stems from the possession of natural resources that provide a financial surplus. Saving the surplus and investing it in the process of development and safeguarding the rights of future generations.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Regarding Iraq’s influx of eager business countries/people/companies… of COURSE there are suitors lining up! Iraq is on the way up. It may take a little longer, or it may happen today or tomorrow, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that they ARE on the way up.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – There is a current agreement amongst a majority of OPEC participating countries designed to control the oil market in the supposed interest of keeping the global economy. I’m not presenting a specific conspiracy theory on that thought, I’m just saying “supposed” because there’s always some kind of backdoor deal or subterfuge going on with anything related to politicians! That’s also not to say that the current OPEC agreement is a bad thing. I feel like it was a good move on many levels, but let’s move on. The current OPEC agreement – and keep in mind, this is a sort of informal, kind of semi-official, non-binding-to-Iraq, completely-beneficial-to-Iraq – yes, that OPEC agreement continues to run a course very attractive to Iraq’s interests. Bottom line – Iraq’s still sitting pretty in it’s ability to potentially skirt the current production limitations and they wouldn’t even feel the need to apologize for getting a nice break. Important date regarding the OPEC agreement: November 7, Vienna Austria. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

This is occuring now not in the future.

Mike (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Abadi defends role of Iranian-backed paramiltaries at meeting with Tillerson” Quote: “In his opening remarks at the meeting with Tillerson, Abadi said Popular Mobilisation “is part of the Iraqi institutions,” rejecting accusations that it is acting as an Iranian proxy.” These articles are the reality of Iraq right now, it ain’t pretty but it’s the facts. Abadi’s reluctance to remove the Iranians from Iraq is a huge indicator for who’s really in control of Iraq. Tillerson told them to go and Abadi told him to go pound sand. This article is an illustration for why we’re still sitting here waiting for Iraq to move towards an open market economy, it’s because they do what Iran tells them to do, not the US or EU. Hopefully Iran will allow the Iraqi people to move towards an open market economy and things will change for the dinar, but in the meantime, articles like this help answer the question;

Connectivity to the UST.. “on set 1” Already started…

The Central Bank calls on the IMF to intervene in the file of correspondent banking district
The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq on Sunday, the International Monetary Fund to intervene in resolving the issue of boycotting some of the global banks Correspondent with Iraqi banks, stressing Iraq’s commitment to implement its program with the IMF.
“The central bank appreciates the work of the International Monetary Fund team and the flexibility of the policy of advising, as it is important to reach this degree of flexibility and understanding of the exceptional Iraqi situation where it stands out,” Al-Alak said in a speech during a meeting with the Director General of the International Monetary Fund and Central Bank Governors in Washington. The importance of this matter when it comes to balancing the financial situation with social considerations. ”
“Iraq is appreciating if the Middle East section of the International Monetary Fund can provide best practices and facilities and dialogue with shareholders to address this issue as soon as possible,” he said.
“Despite the difficult circumstances, the Iraqi government is committed to implementing its program with the International Monetary Fund,” he said. “I expect that the agreement will be reached on the third review under the program.” He added that “Iraq, like other countries in the region, has a large number of refugees and displaced persons, And it is useful that the IMF’s Middle East section provides assistance in assessing the economic impact associated with it. It is also important that this assessment be made clear in staff reports so as to give the international community an opportunity to provide assistance. ”
“Iraq thanked the government and people of the Kuwaiti government for their valuable support for Iraq, including hosting the Iraq reconstruction conference in the coming months and thanked the IMF for the technical support it will provide to the conference itself,” he said.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [According to news outlets, Kurdish forces didn’t put up a fight for Kirkuk. It’s reasonable to assume that the Kurds didn’t put up a fight because Kirkuk is not within Kurdish Region of Iraq and also because, in the past, Abadi said that the Iraqi government would eventually come back for Kirkuk.] I believe the issue of “Kurdish Independence” has been successfully put to rest for the time being. The Kurds are certainly not in a position to successfully separate from Iraq, so they may as well open the doors to resolving Article 140 and the HCL, which is exactly what we are seeing.

G-Lin (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Saudi diplomat: The next stage will witness huge work with Iraq” Quote: “The Saudi Royal Airplane arrived yesterday evening in Baghdad with a large Saudi delegation, the largest after a 27-year break between the two countries, to participate more actively in the Baghdad International Fair in its 44th session, which begins on Saturday.” This is really a big deal. It shows how much more progressive Abadi is versus Maliki. Saudi is about 85-95% Sunni. Maliki hates Saudi. It wouldn’t surprise me to see an invitation to the GCC extended to Iraq in the near future.

I am proud to say that three years later, thanks to the Iraqi armed forces and the Iraqi people, these predictions were wrong…” What is Abadi up to?? Why submit this to the NYT today?? Of all the times to be concerned with what the world thinks. It appears there may be much more riding on this than we can imagine.

G-Lin (Dinar Guru) – Article: “An Iraqi banking delegation discusses in the United States opportunities for cooperation between the two parties” …it has been a good news week. The meetings in N.Y and Ali sitting down with the U.N. was historic. A first. Iraq is a very important country to the entire world. That tells us a lot.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraq announces the electronic gate near the completion of the infrastructure and the launch of commercial services building” Quote: “The scope of its work, issuing prepaid cards through the global payment companies, owning and deployment of payment points and ATM network as well as providing various services to banks and facilitate the payment of bills and collection process.” I hate to say it but this seems like a work a round (using prepaid cards) from the goal of opening the banking system to the worlds financial system. Time will tell.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Oil stabilizes with support from supply contraction and expectations of an OPEC extension” Quote: “Oil prices held steady on Thursday, supported by continued OPEC-led output cuts and tensions in the Middle East, as well as a drop in US production due to hurricane closures.” Semantics are everything sometimes… such as here. “supported” – not demanded or mandated. “OPEC-led” – This is HUGE. OPEC is leading this initiative, this agreement, this voluntary agreement. Iraq is still free to break the mold, RV and sell a gazillion barrels tomorrow to fill their coffers and support the increase in exchange. It’s going to cause a little disturbance in the world, but 2 days later Iraq (or the PTB in Iraq) simply pretends to apologize (that’s how it works!) and 5 days later the world adjusts and we move on.
