Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – In typical Iraqi fashion…I believe things are now being delayed due to the lack of formation of the government which has direct impact on currency reform, opening the banking system, inviting foreign investment. We also learn from one of our members who contacted the IMF that the Article IV Consultation has been delayed until the formation of the government. And if what we believe is correct – that nothing will occur until after that consultation it seems like we’re just have to wait a few more months. And of course all the while keeping a watchful eye on the CBI currency auctions to make sure that they stay in compliance under the IMF requirements for Article VIII acceptance.

BGG ~ Oddly enough… this is what I just talked about (in my recent commentaries and our call). The new GOI being formed matters.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – ...the one thing that is missing, now that the Elections are mostly concluded, is HCL. I know I harp on that a lot, but it’s truly the one thing I see that MUST be done in order to have a successful RV.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Iraq is in a good position. Even with their currency at a tenth of a penny. There is no bad situation here. It simply does not exist. The currency is strong even at a tenth of a penny. They are using it for a purpose at that rate. There is a reason the CBI, the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Finance and parliament went to the IMF and said, “Hey, we want to start raising the rate, what do we need to do? What positions do we need to be in?’ And they kind of gave them a charter in order to do that. It’s very simple. They haven’t gone off the reservation on that at all… Since I’ve gotten involved in this investment or this opportunity, it has not changed at all…it’s a timing issue and it’s related to the markets…

______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – We alway get this question, “One day it’s going to revalue in Iraq and all these Iraqis are going to be instant millionaires…” Its’ doesn’t work that way…what happens is that you and I used the US dollar to purchase the currency…at a tenth of a penny. The Iraqi’s were given that currency. So the market inside Iraq reflects that tenth of a penny. In other words if you go down to buy a coke or candy bar…it’s based on an economy based on a tenth of a penny. What do you thinks going to happen when the value of the Iraqi dinar goes up to a buck? [Post 1 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Do you think the coke and the candy bar are gong to stay at a tenth of a penny? Yeah, then they would be millionaires inside of Iraq. But it’s not. The coke and the candy bar are now going to be worth a US dollar. So they don’t gain like you and I gain. We bet with the US dollar and they did not…Price of real estate, prices of goods and services, the labor force, everything will follow the value. For some reason people confuse that. You and I bought at a tenth of a penny out of a US dollar. So that is where we get our gains… [Post 2 of 2]

BGG ~ Where are we with this investment?

It’s something I get asked all the time.

Here are some thoughts on the current situation that may help some folks. So many say the politics don’t matter to the currency. This isn’t exactly accurate. The politics impact the economy… Iraq’s currency is, by many astute accounts, “grossly undervalued”. A basic definition of currency? It is a promissory note on the underlying economy of the country.

I am assuming any governing body with say in this matter is going to refrain until the results are final and a government transition is made or is being made. Just my thinking.

How is this formation coming along? There are now two main groups competing for the chance to form the next GOI…

Peshmerga can return to Kirkuk – if Kurds join Sadr-Abadi bloc

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi parties are busy building alliances which could soon form the basis of the country’s next government. To persuade the Kurdish parties to join its bloc, Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi’s Nasr (Victory) alliance has offered to cut a deal on Kirkuk.

“Kirkuk is a Kurdish, Arab, Iraqi city,” Ahmed al-Hamdani, a high ranking Nasr official, told Rudaw. “We agree for the Peshmerga to return Kirkuk, as they bravely fought side by side with our forces to repel ISIS from Iraq.”

There was “good coordination between Kurds and Arabs and there is no damage to be incurred if the Peshmerga are our partners,” he added.

Last week, the Sayirun alliance – led by firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr – teamed up with Abadi’s Nasir, the Hikma Front, and Al-Wataniya to form the core of a parliamentary bloc. If the alliance can win over the Sunni and Kurdish parties, it is well placed to form a governing coalition…

BGG (Dinar Guru) – Article: “After Abadi, Maliki and Fayyad, Maasoum met with Amiri on the largest bloc” The only thing you can be certain of, from this article – is that everyone is meeting with everyone in Iraq. Massoum met with Abadi…then with Ameri…then with Faleh al-Fayadh (national security advisor to Abadi)…and at some point he met with Maliki…None of which means all that much. Massoum mainly has a direct hand in the timeline. He establishes the first meeting of Parliament which is a marker for the formation of the new GOI. The most curious wording was that Abadi’s main thrust was just to get it moving. He and Sadr seem confident they have the biggest bloc – else why push for this quick formation?

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – Article quote: “The Iranian strategy is to inject a large, counterfeit Iraqi currency into Iraqi markets and push for increased demand for the US dollar by local traders.” Why is this so important to us and the RV? …BECAUSE THIS WILL INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR THE US DOLLAR, THUS DRIVE DOWN THE RATE OF THE DINAR…This will bring Iraq into non-compliance by the IMF for the MCP practices. I told everyone that these new sanctions were going to cause havoc in Iraq and will be the next reason to stall the RV…The answer to the problem? Reinstate the dinar, get off the peg to the dollar and re-peg to the SDR basket of currencies. Use the dinar to conduct business. Issue the new lower category notes thus redenominate. Outlaw the use of the dollar in Iraq.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…This is a no risk zone…people are saying that, “oh my god it’s at a tenth of a penny it must be high risk currency or there’s something wrong.” No. There’s nothing wrong. They [CBI/Iraq] are using it [dinar] like they need to use it. The question is for you and me is, Is there a window when they start adding value to it? And how and why? And that’s what we’re following…People are stuck on a tenth of a penny and somehow that rate makes it a risk. That’s not a risk for you and me. That’s a huge advantage… We’re using the US dollar to get that currency…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Do you think the IMF has to give the nod to an RV?] Of course – the IMF isn’t going to hold them back when they choose to RV. We’ve seen the IMF stay very silent on Iraq once the restrictions were lifted several years ago. If the IMF was going to try to block anything, they would be very outspoken about it and we’d all know it was time to pack our bags and find another subject to keep our interest… that is not the case.

Sadr’s success in forming the largest bloc means the elimination of Maliki’s status!

Baghdad today – The success of the leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr and his allies to form the largest bloc and the new government, which needs only 28 parliamentary seats, means the “loss” of the leader of a coalition of law Nuri al-Maliki for his political status in Iraq, the newspaper said. Pointed out that the Kurds have directed a “blow” to Maliki’s efforts in forming this bloc.

The newspaper said the United Arab Emirates in its report written in English and translated (Baghdad today), that “the bloc of Asron of Sadr says it expects to reach an agreement on the formation of a larger coalition in parliament,” noting that “the Iraqi Kurdish and Sunni blocs expressed their desire to form a coalition with the winner Moqtada Sadr, an indication that former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who seeks power, may lose his place in the political arena of the country. ”

She added that “the bloc of Asrun compete with the coalition of the rule of law, led by al-Maliki to conclude an agreement with the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (KO-Nu) as well as the Sunni blocs to establish the largest coalition in parliament.

“There are signs of an agreement between the Kurds and the Sunnis on the alliance with others,” Thenational quoted Raed Fahmi, a leading politician in the Asroun bloc, as saying…

The biggest bloc in Iraq is approaching the decision … and the appearance of the new prime minister

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Things are unfolding over the formation of the largest bloc in Iraq’s parliament on Sunday, with the name of the new prime minister, which is due to be announced soon, according to Iraqi media.

According to the site of the Iraqi newspaper Alsumaria News, revealed a political source, that things were resolved for the largest bloc through coalitions are going to victory and wisdom and national, stressing that the bloc will be announced very soon…

Once this is done, and that should not be long, that will free them up to work on various little things like… oh, I don’t know… HCL! …this was a long process, but once Holiday is over I am expecting a bit of change in the lull we’ve been riding through.

ChrisC (Dinar Guru) – Article: “An economist reveals the bank’s printing of large amounts of currency with small categories to replace them with damage” Think about this real quick. For example, how particularly worthlesss is that 100 denom at the current rate? Why bring these out at the current rate?
It seems there is more to the story as the plot thickens with this and the revealing of the specimen notes. IMHO, I think we’re staring at the end of the Turkmenistan model. I suspect there is a a delicate coordination that needs to be worked out and much communication between several parties to get it on track. Just my 2 cents in consideration of current information…
______________________________________________________________

Don961 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “An economist reveals the bank’s printing of large amounts of currency with small categories to replace them with damage” imo…it’s just as the article states…the merchants points out about the severe shortage of smaller denomination notes in the marketplace…the existing notes are damaged and need to be replaced…so the CBI is doing that…they just need to convince the banks to receive and replace them…as these notes do get replaced, people will start using them more and more…and introducing even smaller note categories and coins, with higher value, will not be such a shock after having to use all those high 3 zeroes for so long…Also, even the printing of more of these smaller categories shows a shift in monetary policy…they needed to print the higher 3 zeroes because that is what the currency value required for use in the marketplace…there has obviously been a shift in thinking and circumstances…so smaller, 3 zero-less notes will soon be all the rage…

(Baghdad: Al-Furat News) Rajah member of the National Wisdom Movement Mohammed al-Husseini joined the National Axis of the largest bloc next week.

“The features of the formation of the largest bloc existed before the meeting of the Babylon Hotel, and other than that is the words of media,” he said, adding that “welcoming any demands within the roof of the Constitution and the law and otherwise are rejected.”

He pointed to “the adherence of some political forces to certain demands and positions,” pointing out that “there is Kurdish flexibility and we believe that the demands will be according to the Constitution.”…

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – I…got a note from another member who wrote the IMF and asked about Iraq’s Article IV Consultation the response indicates that the IMF is waiting until after the formation of the government which could be next year hopefully sooner. I have said in the past that I believe that consultation must occur prior to Iraq moving to Article VIII it’s not a requirement but it would be a good review of the banking system and encouragement. If I am correct and the CBI is going to wait until that consultation occurs then we have a few more months to wait. Though technically the CBI could write the letter to the IMF at any moment and request Article VIII acceptance. And if they are in compliance the IMF would would agree.
______________________________________________________________

Chattels (Dinar Guru) – My sense is that there will be an announcement of a largest bloc sooner rather than later in this election cycle because there is a movement to avoid quotas. In order to do so the largest bloc must be clearly established at / by the convening of the Parliament and election of the President / Speaker of Parliament. There is talk of Iraq being out of compliance on the spread between the official rate and the parallel market rate. [NOTE: As of 8-20-2018 the rate has remained within 2% range for 90 days.]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Well, unoffically the CBI seems to have fallen out of compliance now with the spread at 1215 to $1. What that means more than likely is they will have to get back in compliance and hold it for another 90 days. So – unfortunately it doesn’t look like the Central Bank of Iraq will be moving to Article VIII anytime soon. I’m not officially writing off the Central Bank of Iraq yet going to give it a day or two to make sure they are in or out of compliance. Because these numbers are not official if tomorrow’s numbers are lower they could be back in compliance. On another note it looks like the government is moving forward with the largest bloc being formed and announced.

He added that “there are deputies from the national axis confirmed their withdrawal from and join with us,” noting that there will be a meeting next Monday of the National Bloc and everyone who joined them, and the number will be clear to announce.

The question now still remains – What will the CBI now do since the election saga is just about over? I am told they will progress forward with the “project to delete the zeros” once again. We can do nothing but take a deep breath, relax and wait and see how the CBI reacts.

Randy Koonce (Dinar Guru) – Everyone asks me: How does Iraq Pay for this? This event does not Cost Iraq anything. Many say that Iraq has over $35 trillion out on the market and would never be able to pay for this. The truth is Iraq has only 35 trillion and that includes the new bills. What do I mean by new bills? Those are the 1, 5, 10, 20 dinar notes… When they RV, it will by design bring in the Large Bills: “Remove the 000’S” from the Street“. If you notice, “remove 000’s” does NOT mean a LOP. It just means they want to get them “off the street”. And by the intentional design of this event, if you bring the RV out low, like at 10 Cents and the USD is worth more than the Dinar, then the Dinar will not come off the street because they will keep their Dinar and just use the USD.

Kaperoni‏ (Dinar Guru) – The Federal Court in Iraq will validate the election results on Monday
______________________________________________________________

Randy Koonce (Dinar Guru) – First, we are in a new window of opportunity ‘right now‘. When I say that, it does NOT mean it will happen “without a doubt in this current window” (Remember: It’s Iraq!). What it does mean is that there is a very good chance for the rate to finally change. Now. …I hope that one day I might get the opportunity to explain why this has taken so long. There are so many factors at work. More than one person and/or agency has had influence on the RV. It has become far more political than anyone ever intended or expected. Also, for anyone who thinks this will come out at 10 cents and float up – they do not know how this system will work and did not read the right articles from the right people. This was never planned to be an ‘economic text book’ event. The Currency will be a MANAGED FLOAT. The word ‘managed’ is the clue. It means that ‘someone’ will determined when to move it and how much. The Dinar right now is on a Managed Float. So, you can see that if it does not RV that it will not move…
______________________________________________________________

Randy Koonce (Dinar Guru) – People say that it is not pegged to the Dollar anymore. That is BS. The Dinar is currently pegged to 3 currencies, and will continue to be pegged that way. When they change the value, they will be able to determine how much and where. No one knows the exact Rate other than Shabibbi (still involved in the CBI) and the Governor of the CBI. They were given a “Range to Revalue the Currency”. And that range begins at $1.50. Iraq actually needs it to be around $2.50 to be able to pay everyone and everything, and $1.50 will not leave them the ability to pay back the loans they will receive. So, I am of the OPINION it will come in higher than that. But we will see… [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Randy Koonce (Dinar Guru) – Right now, the pressure for this to take place is Very Great. As in, ‘Extremely Huge’. Our POTUS does not care who the PM will be. He believes we can work with anyone. …However, there is an ‘agency’ who got in the middle of their election process, and once again delayed the rate change. Now, that ‘agency’ is really wanting this to happen. So, what do we need to see? We need to see the Election ratified by the Federal Court; the ‘Coalition’ needs to be announced; and the next PM will then be announced. Then our event will happen! However, if these events drag out, then the Event we are looking for just might happen without the Government. It’s possible. So our ‘window’ will last to the end of the month of August, with a strong possibility for next week. The pressure will only get stronger closer to end of month. …We REALLY are in the final stages of this. I know that this administration wants this to be over, and they (he) wants it over NOW!! We are SO close …So, hang in there Everyone. It’s coming, one way or the other!! Breathe. [Post 3 of 3]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Iraq is on the verge of falling out of compliance at today’s auction 1212 to 1 US dollar. If they don’t reverse this in the next day or so they will fall out of compliance and then I expect the wheels to come off as Maliki attempts to drain dollars to help Iran. And despite what the gurus will say, it could be months at least three but probably more like years before they get back in line because I don’t expect sanctions on Iran to be lifted anytime soon. Crooks like Maliki will realize that they are out of compliance and do everything they can to help their allegiance to Iran and to reverse that it could take years. The last time this occurred was in 2012 and look it’s 2018 now. Ideally I believe the US Embassy in Iraq should step in and remove all of these corrupt politicians and start with a clean slate with the hope of a short window to begin reforms. So the next two to four weeks will be very telling… To see if the CBI can maintain the spread and if the government can be formed.

That’s a bummer for everyone waiting on some groundbreaking news, but for most of us… we understand the process, and because we’re nearing the end of this chapter, it’s not too hard to be patient (for just a LITTLE bit longer!). It’s almost mind-boggling to look at the situation and try to understand how it can take them so long to count up a couple of ballots, but that’s the way it is. Here’s an article that is interesting: “Abadi’s chances to assume 2nd term in office decreased” …it’s an Iranian source. Which might mean everything, or nothing. Either way, we’re still waiting for the official end of the elections, and until that’s done… we are in limbo.

Former deputy: Abadi will refer a new corrupt list to integrity

MP in the outgoing parliament, Ibtisam al-Hilali, Sunday, that the Prime Minister Haider Abadi will transmit a new corrupt list of the Integrity Commission.

Al-Hilali said in an interview with “Mawazine News” that “Abbadi issued during the past period several decisions to refer suspects of corruption files to integrity and his decisions continue to appear.”

“According to the data available to us, there is a corrupt list will be transmitted to integrity during the coming period.”…

Chattels (Dinar Guru) – Quote: “Revealed the current national wisdom headed by Ammar al – Hakim, on Monday, …the next three days will see the introduction of new names for prime minister.” Ali Mohammad Al-Hussein Ali Al-Adeeb has been mentioned recently, but he is arguably a Maliki proxy. And, The man who may become Iraq’s next Prime Minister Jaafar al-Sadr is a strong candidate to take the top job, but there are plenty of obstacles in his way. Abadi heads the Iraqi Caretaker Government as PM until replaced and he is the choice of the U.S.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – …the very purpose of floating the currency is to counter inflationary pressure created by substantial investment. If you were to revalue…you would be circumventing that process. Not to mention the CBI will make money buying and selling blocks of currency ending the currency auction. Any such single event would circumvent the ability to profit as the dinar rises.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …The situation that you are watching with Turkey and their currency going down and then obviously the value of Iran’s currency going down…it will be nothing like the Iraqi dinar. Basically we are at war and we want to get rid of the people at the top. He’s [Trump] trying to squeeze them and force them into doing deals. Just like we did with Nato and with the EU in general and with Russia…The thing with Turkey is their currency has gone down and their leaders are panicking. …lots of signals out there that even if it does go back up it will not be anything significant….so stay away from them [Turkey and Iran Currency]. The Zimbabwe currency stay away from it…We’ve talked about it a lot but there needs to be a lot done for the Vietnamese currency. I still have it but there is no report. Again it all depends on China. On China’s attitude. On what China is doing.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) – THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT IN IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VALUE RAISING. THEY ARE NOT GONNA START AT 1190, WITH THE PREMISE THAT LOWER DENOMS WILL COME OUT AS NEEDED. IF THAT WERE THE CASE NO ONE INSIDE IRAQ WOULD TRADE THEIR DINAR IN OR PUT IT IN BANKS OR INVEST IN THE ISX LET ALONE US AT HOME. A FLOAT IS IN NO WAY AN OPTION ESPECIALLY WITH ITS EFFECT ON SHARES IN THE ISX. INVESTMENT WILL COME WHEN THE DINAR COMES OUT AT A STABLE RATE LIKE 1-1 AS PROMISED BY SHABBIBI AND THEN A MANAGED FLOAT TO MAINTAIN INFLATION. ITS COMING. THEY HAVE TIPPED THEIR HAND WITH TOO MUCH INFO COMING FROM THE CBI. A FLOAT FROM 1190 IS NOT AN OPTION. JMHO

They have calculated the information necessary for them to have the HCL done and even activated by or on about September 5th per articles of recent… The calculation would be based on oil output that the IMF and even KPMG would have had already worked up. The citizens imo will be paid their share apparently on or around the 5th of September, but, that amount would be posted electronically to then [them ?] in new currency that can be loaded on cards. There is a recent article(s) that state just how serious it would be to tell them that the money is coming and for them to not follow through, would create even harsher protests… They know they are getting paid, and, imo, the international calculation / rate will be / maybe exposed long before that date. They just showed the specimens to the world and what that means to them and us.. It is for other countries to know what to look for… As in when we walk through the doors with those notes, they can verify what they are looking at…Amazing what is staring at us in the face.. IMO!!

Abadi’s coalition claims deal to form new Iraqi government

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s political alliance announced on Friday that it had reached an agreement with other major parties to form the next government.

According to a statement released by Khaled al-Obeidi, chief negotiator of the Nasr (Victory) Coalition, the deal includes the frontrunner of May’s election, Muqtada al-Sadr’s Sairoon coalition, Ammar al-Hakim’s al-Hikma (Wisdom) party, and Ayad Allawi’s al-Wataniya (National) coalition.

Obeidi said that preliminary talks with al-Hikma and al-Wataniya had “led to positive results and common understandings, preparing the groundwork for a viable government program.”…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – So what is the impact going to be of these sanctions being put on Iran? …we know that Iraq is desperately trying to stay neutral when it comes to Iran. There is significant gains for both countries by being trading partners. They have trading agreements and exporting to Iran can definitely help them through the embargo. But food is not all they want from Iraq. Now more then ever they want the US dollars. So where do these dollars come from? They come from the currency auctions of course and so you can see the need now for a greater push to clean up this side of the corruption and maybe even stop these auctions altogether.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – Could this election saga finally be coming to an end? Its only 3 weeks from September. Will they try to drag this out until then? And even when they do finally announce the new parliament and prime minister then what? Will the CBI pull the trigger on the reinstatement of the dinar? Is the reinstatement already being slowly rolled out behind our backs? We see ISX going international already. Yes, there is a process to this SLOW rollout and DR Shabibi himself told us this is NOT going to be a sudden triggered event…but a very slow process. He said it would take months to complete. Will the CBI complete the “project to delete the zeros”? This is what is going to bring us a significant change in the value of the dinar. Will the CBI finally launch the lower category notes? We know when they do this there will have to be some adjustment to the rate of the dinar to coincide.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Very interesting announcement today from currency dealer...they now or [are] allowing customers to exchange dinar for cash USD on the spot and all locations.

Iraq Elections Results almost Unchanged after Manual Recount

Almost no change has been made to the results of a recent parliamentary election in Iraq after ballots were manually recounted over fraud allegations, the country’s top electoral body has announced.

The commission said early Friday that less than a dozen members of the Iraqi parliament, out of 329, lost their seats after a manual recount of the ballots cast in the May parliamentary elections.

The results confirmed the victory of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s bloc.

The only major change that came out of the recount was related to the Conquest Alliance led by Hadi al-Amiri, who leads an influential pro-government militia force.It would have an extra seat at the expense of another political group known as the Baghdad list.

The Conquest will now have 48 seats in the parliament, remaining in the second place after the Sadr Movement, which has secured 54 seats. Incumbent Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s party will also have 42 seats.

The votes recount came following allegations of fraud which mainly revolved around the electronic voting machines used for the first time in Iraq’s elections, Press TV reported.

The recount results pave the way for political parties to form a government. The Iraqi supreme court must now ratify the new results. Once ratified, the outgoing president must convene a parliamentary session within 15 days to begin the process of forming a coalition government…

Quotes: “Every country has legal restrictions on the reproduction of banknote images. The counterfeiting of currency is a crime, and while restrictions vary from country to country, in some countries, any reproduction of banknote images – even for artistic or advertising uses – is strictly forbidden. Even in countries that allow some limited use of banknote images, there are specific rules and requirements...” “…Reproductions shall be depicted proportionally and the image shall be larger or smaller than a genuine banknote. Reproductions shall contain the word “SPECIMEN” in bold lettering diagonally across the image.”

But that is what floating a currency is all about allowing market forces to dictate a country’s exchange rate. So we will all find out if the Balassa Samuelson effect is in play and large amounts of capital come into Iraq to rebuild and investors around the world believe that the currency is undervalued.

Economist: The Central Bank put solutions to stop the rise in the dollar exchange rate

Economist Bassem Jameel Antoine said on Sunday that the central bank has put in place solutions to stop the rise in the dollar exchange rate, pointing out that the central bank has stopped remittances with Iran.

Antoine said in a press statement that “the dollar exchange rate in Iraqi markets has seen a recent rise, because some dollar is delivered to Iran in cash across the border between the two countries, especially after the suspension of remittances between the two countries.”…

At least start there…for how long it stays there I have no answer but it’ll rise based on supply and demand and economic principles…people…are going to be extremely disappointed when the CBI moves from fixed to float and the exchange rate is 1190. The value of the Iraqi dinar will be directly related to the amount of investment that flows into the CBI’s capital account, that economic pressure will create inflation which the CBI will raise the value to counter…the rate is 1190 until the CBI decides to change it.

I do expect it to rise fairly quickly over a 6 months to a year. But again that’ll be directly related to the amount of investment that comes in to participate in the reconstruction of Iraq. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni Any country that is in Article XIV can notify the IMF of their desire to avail to Article VIII but if they continue to have restrictions that are not compliant with Article VIII they will not be accepted. [It makes sense that the IMF should expect them to move forward since the IMF and other countries have so much time, money and energy invested in them or any country in development.] Yes, that is why I believe the IMF will hold an Article IV Consultation with Iraq and during that consultation will encourage them to move forward now.

Bloodloch (Dinar Guru) – We’re in a bit of limbo right now while waiting for Iraq to complete their election recount (reports are they are getting close), their federal court to certify those results (which should happen in fairly short order after the recounts), and the new government to be seated (which should theoretically happen almost instantly once the court certification is released). Some say that seating the new government is not necessary for a currency revaluation, but the CBI has stated that “stability” is one of the key elements (the other being “security”) to moving ahead with the deletion of the 3 zeroes project. Stability, some claim, is intrinsically connected to removing the corruption associated with the currency auctions, and so that brings us back around again to the need to seat the new government and remove a large portion of corrupt politicians who, in losing their re-election, will lose their immunity from prosecution the moment they are declared no longer a part of the government. Unsubstantiated reports are that some of those “losing” politicians have already started fleeing the country. I remain cautiously skeptical, but we shall see. All we can do for now is to wait…

An official source for «Economy News»: stop the program of credit readiness between Iraq and the International Monetary Fund

Economy News Baghdad: An official source in the Iraqi government, stop the program of credit readiness signed by Iraq and the International Monetary Fund in 2015 until the formation of the next government.

The source, who preferred not to be named for “economy News”, said that “the program of credit readiness, which earned Iraq a loan of 5.4 billion dollars from the International Monetary Fund stopped until the formation of the next government,” adding that “Iraq will begin after the resumption of the program The third review of the Iraqi economy by the International Monetary Fund. ”

He pointed out that “the International Monetary Fund criticized some of the actions carried out by the government during the past years and the latest delay in the House of Representatives in the adoption of the draft budget law for the year 2018 because of political differences.”

IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT NOTICED!!…they will come out with new lower denoms which have to have a value greater then 1/10th of a penny otherwise they are useless and worthless… The new currency might float ALONG WITH THE OLD CURRENCY… BUT NEVER EVER NEVER WILL THE OLD CURRENCY FLOAT WITH 3 ZEROS INCLUDED IN THE NOMINAL VALUE…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Did Iraq have a reverse LOP/Neutral event, Way back when they printed new currency for Iraq, added zeros to the currency, and moved the decimal point over a few digits on the value. Their money is not worthless. When they exchanged their money in, say 1 dinar, they got back a lot more dinar notes with more zeros but with less value. Sounds like the opposite of a LOP to me. Please don’t throw me in the LOBSTER TANK.] I wouldn’t call that a lop – it was a devaluation. Their currency, and their “stock” in the world, simply lost value. A revalue upwards will simply recapture that value. Not all of it. But a significant amount. And that’s why we are here.
______________________________________________________________

Whining and complaining isn’t going to change things one iota. Try focusing on the positive. I can tell you when I started following this way back, we would go months sometimes before we saw anything positive. Lately we’ve seen more positive movement forward than ever before. There are days when all the researchers here at Dinar Updates can barely keep up. I’m sorry for those of you who may of bought into this thinking it was a guaranteed ticket to overnight riches. That’s not how investments work. What we try to do here, and I think I can speak for most, is to portray the big picture. It’s not always what some want to hear but… reality is what it is.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – Iraq still has a seated government and Abadi still the PM. IMO the smooth transition from the same government to the new government will have the same affect…the same results. A newly seated government, less Malaki, Iran and Iran’s General’s corruption with be a “suitable environment” to RI their currency…as Abadi and the CBI requested. And so did Dr. Shabibi. The Iranian influence is disappearing. With the government. With the citizens. The Iranian Generals are losing their ability to protect Malaki. Malaki as no longer a VP is no longer protected with immunity. Arrest warrants await him. Malaki will fight along with his fake media to the very end. If given a Parliamentary seat it’s only to keep the peace. IMO, Malaki’s power is gone. No longer influential or able to use fear tactics to support his sugar daddy Iran. In the next two weeks, somewhere IMO, around the 18-19 to around the 25th we should have a seated government.

My active thought is that we cannot rule out anything and must allow for that which we may not like. In any event we must all find a theory which sustains us and the hope of a good outcome. If we do not finish the race we cannot know whether there will be a prize for participation at a minimum, eh?

US, Russia, Britain will protect oil companies in Iraq

Observers said that the United States, Russia and Britain will launch a military operation to protect the oil companies operating in Iraq amid ongoing protests witnessed in a number of provinces.

They pointed out that the three countries would intervene militarily if their oil companies or their employees were targeted by Iran Militia in Iraq and Syria (IMIS) terrorists.

The observers stressed that the Iranian plan regarding the isolation of Basra and targeting oil companies there has become well known.

On July 8, protests erupted in Basra against shortage of jobs, electricity, water and basic services.

Observers said that Iran seeks to target British, American and Russian companies in southern Iraq, noting that the three countries will intervene to protect their companies that are being currently targeted by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

They added that protesting in front of oil companies and blocking access to them proves that Iran is determined to spread chaos in Basra, Maysan, Dhi Qar, Najaf and other Iraqi provinces.

The observers said that Iran felt that Ahwaz would hold mass demonstrations this summer, so it turned the attention into Basra.

They added that IRGC’s existence on the Kuwaiti border aims to threaten the security of the Gulf and its oil fields, stressing that mullah’s regime is trying to implement a plan that aim to withdraw about 15 million barrels of oil from the markets and stop oil exports.

Observers who spoke to The Baghdad Post said that Iran stands behind the protests witnessed in southern Iraq.

They said that Iran is not only responsible for cutting electricity and water in the south, but it also inciting Basra’s residents against oil companies operating there because they are not recruiting them.

The observers pointed out that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threats that process of preventing oil companies in the Gulf from working and exporting their oil would start from southern Iraq prove that Iran is standing behind the crisis.

They called on the government of Haider al-Abadi to respond quickly to the demands of the people of Basra in order to not give Iran the chance to use the situation to destroy Iraq.

Analysts stressed that Iran is playing a “dirty game” as the mullah’s regime has promised to spread chaos in the region to disrupt oil sales in the Gulf.

Observers called on Haider al-Abadi’s government to protect Iraq from the international intervention to protect foreign oil companies, as well as thwarting Iran’s plan that seeks to spread chaos in the region.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – I wouldn’t look for a resolution in this election matter anytime soon. Maliki is now threatening a civil war if he’s not the new prime minister and all of the political blocks are against him having participation in any way. Reading the news today it clearly implies it’s going to get worse before it gets better. The protest, riots, and large amounts of corruption including this recent statement that the State of Law the most corrupt political bloc in Iraq this isn’t going to get resolved soon. And unfortunately all of this chaos which includes Iran’s economic failure, the protest are going to have a substantial effect on monetary policy including the spread. It is now highly likely that over the next several weeks Iraq will fall out of compliance if this escalates. The internet in Iraq has been shut down in an attempt to minimize any kind of escalation in these protests. This also means that some of the media is now offline.

8 hours ago: Abadi in Basra meeting with security commanders.
5 hours ago: Abadi meeting with Asaad Al-Idani (Basra Governor)
5 hours ago: Abadi meeting with Director-General of South Electric Distribution Company
3 hours ago: Abadi meeting with Director-General of Basra Oil Company
1 hour ago: Abadi meets with tribal/community leaders in Basra.

…There’s a reason why I highlighted where Abadi was 3 hours ago…Who knows where Basra is and why it’s important? I’m getting reports that HCL is closer than the recent “news” is letting on. [Twitter times are off due to posting times]

BGG ~ All credible reports on the recount result until now, have indicated very little or no deviation – and no fraud or vote tampering. Which leaves us wondering what all the squabble was about?

So very remarkable. Some very interesting stuff…90% of what Iraq makes is from oil. It’s coming down. It’s going to revalue. The market will change…Iraq is going to have to add value to their currency. Remember it’s artificially low. They want open access to their currency. That’s their goal. That’s what they want to do. And they’ll get there.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – The news now is all about the re-counting of the ballot results from the May 12th elections. ...Yes, yet another intentional act to delay the progress of the country. Why are they doing this?Many of these gurus will tell you it is orchestrated by Nori al-Maliki and his gang to stall for time, hoping to delay the results long enough so he can put together his own majority coalition. I agree with this notion but be assured it is not going to work for him and is now only backfiring on him, as the citizens will surely find out who orchestrated this fiasco in the future and who stalled the formation of the govt. This will happen when the re-counting results show no significant changes. …So this is a very dangerous tightrope Maliki is now walking but I think he has been out maneuvered and is losing his leverage by Sadr.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – …Remember that we know that everything from the CBI standpoint if already completed and all they need is a “suitable environment” to continue with the “project to delete the zeros”. They told us there was FRAUD and MANIPULATION that prevented the project from moving forward. We know this is in dealing with the currency auctions and involved almost 1/3 of the parliament members and their banking and money laundering schemes. So it seems logical that if we want to know where the CBI now stands on the RV, why not look at what is going on to rectify these issues. …Many of these culprits will lose their immunity and thus can be served their arrest warrant on charges of corruption, but only after the election.

Why sell Dinar?

Simple answer: I’m selling – so I can buy. I sell so that we can increase holdings and help everyone along the way. We keep what we can afford to. That’s the general concept anyway.

To answer the ding-a-ling critics – we’re aren’t “selling out” – we’re “buying in”. Which all started by just trying to help a few folks in a tough position.

Sometime back we were able to, because of our unique position – help some folks in a big way with their currency. This was when the various Dinar dealers were PUNISHING people on their buy-backs and not passing much on to buyers.

We helped. At a time when the advertised buy-back price was $500-650 per million (depending on condition) we were able to get one man $850 per million x 60 million which helped him save his farm. We didn’t make much ($25 per million – to be exact) – but we helped.

It was then I realized, if we were gonna’ keep this up, we ought to get registered as a dealer… just to be on the safe side. We did.

What does this mean for you? We try to offer the best number for those wanting to get out – and the best number we can for those wanting to get in or add more.

Our Sell price for today: $995 per million

Here’s a nifty testimonial that just came in this morning…

“Hi Tom,

Yes. I got the wire. Thank you very much – Sir. It went just like you said it would. My friend is very grateful and said thank you. He needed money fast to pay a bill so it came just at the right time”.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [What do you think is holding up the HCL?] HCL at this time – it’s completely political. Everything I discussed…is directly related to the delay on the HCL, and that’s coming to an end quickly. I’m excited to see this chapter conclude and see some HCL news in the coming weeks. Can’t be far off now!

BGG (Dinar Guru) – Article “The state of law reveals the fact that it presented “concessions to Barzani” to collect a third term for the owners” Quote: “Revealed a coalition of state law, led by Nuri al-Maliki, on Tuesday (July 10, 2018), the fact that he made concessions to the President of the Kurdistan region of former Massoud Barzani, during the visit to Erbil, last Saturday.” This is an interesting article. My take? The Maliki spin machine is in OVER-DRIVE these days. This time leading up to the final announcement of the Iraqi GOI is the whole game.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Here’s where my thought process is going, and I am getting more confident in this on a daily basis. Iraq is stillllgoing over election results from what seems to be ages ago… this is no different than most other election years, except this time there seems to be a LOT less drama, accusations, etc. Sure, there is still a bit of finger pointing… but this is NOTHING like what we’ve seen in the past. One example that stands out very brightly is the first Maliki vs Abadi race. There was basically kicking and screaming about those results! But at the end of the day, it all cleared up and we were left with Abadi for a few years. IMO that was a great thing! Now…it is being announced that we’re maybe a couple weeks from a true resolution and seating of both sides, and despite what would have historically been a time of extreme uncertainty, that’s not what I’m seeing and hearing.

Nouri al – Maliki .. His presence is a disgrace to Iraq and his role is suspicious and criminal

Ghost (Dinar Guru) – When Obama pulled us out is when ISIL took over. I don’t think we’ve come full circle yet…When you get news from Iraq, Remember Malaki owns more than ½ the newspapers and radio outlets, that broadcast the news. When you see the news coming out of Iraq sometimes it’s totally tainted. There is only one reliable newspaper over there, “The Baghdad Post.” He doesn’t own that one. The rest of them are completely fake news. Completely! All kinds of stuff about Sadr; All the election stuff – it’s all under control. … I do still have a lot of high level Washington contacts, contacts in Baghdad and a good grasp of the situation because of the position I had. I still have quite a lot of friends that were over there with me that know exactly what’s going on in these investments.
______________________________________________________________

Ghost (Dinar Guru) – …Malaki…basically raped the country of everything. He marked up the dollar so merchants couldn’t get any money. He made sure the program rate was very, very low. He was adamant about stealing from the people… I’ve heard as soon as this election comes to pass he will be in shackles and very quickly. …Yes and the irony of it is as the partially convertible currency turns to the IR, we RV, we can see upward of $4 – $7 per dinar…$4.25 to $7.70. I have sources that have told me that. They are unconfirmed at this point. Feel so strongly IMO!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – HANNITY ANNOUNCED (Tuesday Night) ON TV THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL MEET ABADI IN BRUSSELS. ABADI HAS A SPEECH ON IRAQ AND TERRORISM. IMO…BAGHDAD IS TOO VOLATILE FOR T TO GO THERE JUST YET.

Spokesperson: Coalition between Maliki, Sadr ‘unlikely’

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Political Bureau of Iraqi election winner Muqtada al-Sadr says a possible coalition with the Head of the State of Law faction, Nouri al-Maliki, is not possible as they hold him responsible for the fall of Mosul to the Islamic State (IS) in 2014.

Dhiya al-Assadi, Head of Sadr’s Political Bureau, said in a statement on Wednesday that forming a coalition with Maliki is unlikely because he holds legal responsibility for what happened in Mosul and other Iraqi cities due to his role as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces at the time…

BGG ~ Where are we with this investment?

It’s something I get asked all the time.

I am assuming any governing body with say in this matter is going to refrain until the results are final and a government transition is made or is being made. Just my thinking.

How is this formation coming along? There are now two main groups competing for the chance to form the next GOI…

BGG ~ If you need a quote to buy Dinar – Please leave me a message on voicemail, send a text (615-509-6256), an e-mail or FaceBook message me. These all work.

Our Current Sale price is $995 per million.

BGG ~ Look like to me, the IMF isn’t impressed with this delay business either. They are putting a hold on thing until they get the new government formed. Hmmmm?!?

BGG ~ I hate to break it to everyone – ownership is a LOT LESS than 1%. I would be in shock if the number were anywhere close to 1/10th of ONE PERCENT.

BGG ~ Can these Guru’s not read?!? Kuwait is at $3.30 and the Saudi Riyal is at .27 (that’s 27 CENTS!!)… please show me a mathematical equation that reconciles this previous statement.
