BGG – Article Quote: “The prime minister Haider al-Abadi had announced earlier in the day about the most important actions to be taken by the most important part of his reform plan to reduce ministries and cancel key positions of the Republic and the Vice-Minister.” Maliki’s VP position ELIMINATED!! …he’s OUT. [how can they eliminate a political position such as that?] he just did – and he’s getting lots of support – Parliament leadership, Barzani (Kurds), Clerics, everyone jumped right out to support Abadi. My contention has always been once Maliki is gone – Alak will either grow a brain or be gone as well… […do you think this will this prolong the RV…?] I don’t think it slows anything down – it probably moves things forward.
______________________________________________________________
Chattels – Article quote: “the need for the House of works MPs and ministers to support Prime Minister al-Abadi by voting on the latest decisions… ” Maliki is not gone. The Parliament must act and vote by a two-thirds majority to accomplish the abolishment of the constitutional offices of vice president(s) and deputy prime minister (s).
We will see soon enough – won’t we??

Millionday – Article quote: “…al-Abadi said that the Cabinet will take the inter decisions to improve financial and political level and correct government action paths…” THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY ABADI IS TO MOVE FORWARD RIGHT AWAY IN REFORMS — ALL TO IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL LEVEL. ABADI HAS BEEN ASKED BY THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY TO SHOW COURAGE WITH IN THE REFORMS AND MOVE FORWARD. …MANY THINGS ARE GOING ON IN ALL SECTORS AND AVENUES ACCORDING TO NEWS.
______________________________________________________________
My Ladies – THE CABINET HAD A MEETING TO DAY IN AN EFFORT TO CALM DOWN THE DEMONSTRATIONS. ABADI LISTENED TO THE CONCERNS AND AS A RESULT HE IS TRIMMING THE FAT. RIGHT NOW HE IS CUTTING ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ALL STATE OFFICIALS AND THE THREE PRESIDENCIES MINISTERS AND PARLIAMENTARY MEMBERS. SO SORRY MALIKI HATERS THE ACTUAL POSITIONS NEED TO BE DISSOLVED THROUGH CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION BUT THE EXTRAS CAN BE REMOVED. HE CAN DISMISS HIS MINISTERS AND VICE MINISTERS BUT THAT’S AS FAR AS HE CAN GO. THE VICE PRESIDENTS REQUIRE TIME TO REMOVE AND IS OUT OF THE HANDS OF ABADI. THE SPENDING ON THEIR SECURITIES CAN BE CUT HOWEVER. ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION …HE DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE…EXCESSIVE SPENDING AND PRIVLEDGES HE CAN STOP…HE CAN NOT REWRITE THE CONSTITUTION.

tman23 – …. I recall an article where as Zebari said he was hoping for a rating better than a D……. That in itself says were “scr****” …. It does appear that what Lord Ashfield said in the meeting with Shaways in London….. Iraq needs credit to rebuild, and if the thought is it can be done with cash and pay as you go your government will not last the citizens demands. That being said; I believe we are seeing the strings attached by the IMF and World Bank which sets the stage… The requirements start with reducing a bloated government and state dependent society….. The reduction of 30 trillion IQD etc is because they allocate 1% of such to infrastructure and the rest has shown to disappear…… The interesting part to all this is the cancellation of implementing all contracts except military arms…… GREAT NEWS……. Because opening new loans and contracts with the 3 zeros opens a whole new can of worms…..

tlm724 – Huge news! First that there was a unanimous vote, that must be a first and second we are witnessing history being made! Prime Minister Abadi just sent out a statement about abolishing the posts of the 3 Vice Presidents, that would be Maliki, Allawi and Najafi! The corrupt are falling finally!

Kaperoni – Article: “Uniting directed its ministers and parliamentarians to support decisions Abadi reform” Abadi announced today that he is recommending the removal of a few positions as part of his reforms which include elimination of Maliki’s VP position. A subsequent CoM meeting is taking place or just completed to confirm these changes. What I am hearing is Maliki is out of that position. What happens next..we wait and see.

firefly – Well the credit rating is HUGE! They need to boost it from B- in my opinion but it’s A START! Now how the heck can they boost it? We anxiously wait and watch. We are so close…Many things going on behind the scenes that is not in print nor will it ever be…IMO… [this weekend would be great or even next week. ] I’m not looking for it this weekend …would be a pleasant surprise though. But I highly doubt it. Need to get through the sucker bonds 1st, IMO.

Frank26 – The CR (Credit Rating) was issued at a B minus but given as STABLE. Moody and Finch is the first to report this last night. The other agencies are waiting for instructions. It is NOW Iraq’s Sovereign CR. Jabouri wanted a higher CR but he understands this is the start of adding value and that is the focus right now for the currency. The RI is being kicked in iMO and the B is the RI phase that will take us into the RV. We have information that this Saturday meeting may be bigger than most meetings by the CBI. Why is it at a hotel with luxury for thousands that are coming…why the royal treatment? Why at the same moment the IMF reiterates that Alack is only the acting governor of the CBI for now? Why is the GREEN ZONE blocked again today? Why is Abadi letting the protestors have their way against the corrupt officials of their country? Why did the defense minister arrest 35 last night? Why is the GOI scattering like cockroaches? Abadi dismissed all of M’s followers and they are not getting paid by the GOI. Many small things are leading to one big thing. IMO…the thousands that will show up at the Sheraton tomorrow [Saturday] may be that the CBI is announcing…”open for business”.

ARTHUR – NOT SO SURE TOMORROW WILL BE SIGNIFICANT BUT WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RIGHT NOW IS ALL THIS UNREST ALL OF A SUDDEN IN IRAQ. WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO EGYPT AND WHAT HAPPENED TO KHADAFI IN LIBYA…THESE THINGS CAN SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL REALLY FAST AND THEY KNOW THAT. RIGHT NOW SISTANI AND THE CHEST SADR ARE SAYING TO KEEP IT PEACEFUL BUT THAT WILL NOT LAST MUCH LONGER IMO. WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS ELECTRICITY AND NO TAXES (WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION) ACCUSING THE GOVERNMENT OF RAMPANT CORRUPTION…ALL TELL TALE SIGNS OF AN ARAB SPRING STYLE HOSTILE OVERTHROW OF THE GOI. WHILE WE DON’T SEE SIGNS DEMANDING AN RV….WHAT THEY ARE DEMANDING IS PURCHASING POWER IN THE FORM OF DEMANDING THERE BE NO TAXES AND TARIFFS AND THE SINCE THERE HAS TO BE TAXES AND TARIFFS FOR A MARKET ECONOMY TO EXIST….THE ONLY WAY TO OFFSET THE BURDEN IS AN RV. YES, I STILL THINK THE AUGUST/SEPT SHOULD MAKE SOMETHING POP OR EITHER THE WHOLE HOUSE OF CARDS COULD VERY WELL COLLAPSE AND I JUST DONT THINK THE PTB IS GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN…WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE INVESTED IN THIS WHOLE PLAN A LOT OF MEETINGS ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND FROM WHAT I’M HEARING WE MAY BEGIN TO SEE SUDDEN MOVEMENT ON THE HCL WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE AND STILL THINK MUST BE IMPLEMENTED FOR THERE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT REVALUATION OF THE CURRENCY. I’M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME KINDA MAJOR SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENTS AS EARLY AS WITHIN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. REMEMBER THAT THE UN HAS GIVEN THEM UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER TO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE MR COMPLETED AND IMPLEMENTED MAKING AUG/SEPT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WINDOW TO DATE – IMO.

Nova – What have we seen as for Passing Power To The Provinces? Much of the same, it is being slow played “We must do to slowly “. IMO we will not see this fully implemented till the new mechanism is in place. Now those wonderful Bonds that create so much confusion. Can we find anything on them? NO! Not a word from anyone. Why? IMO this also requires the new mechanism be in place before these Bonds can be sold! What do we see happening Globally right now? We see A New System/ Mechanism being brought on line with many countries Right Now! Really…as of July 31! Never in the history of Iraq have we seen what we are seeing right now! So what is my Opinion? It is this, It is clear to me that Iraq’s Government and its Central Bank is Waiting! Waiting for the New System to get to them so it can turn on Its New Mechanism and start doing what the world wants it to do! And what do we know…THAT THE NEW SYSTEM HAS BEEN TURNED ON SO IT JUST DOWN TO TIMING FOR IRAQ! [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
Kaperoni – Article quote: “The Central Bank, on Friday, ready to announce the launch of five trillion dinars loans to banks, “industrial” and “agricultural” and real estate “on Saturday.” I wouldn’t be surprised if this is delayed since the tariffs were postponed. It is hard to create a competitive market economy when there is no taxes on competing items flowing through the borders. The tariffs need to be in place before they can successfully compete. Abadi made a big mistake today postponing tariffs to the end of the year. That decision, in essences, will put all market economy reforms on hold for the remainder of this year as well…they cannot afford that delay.

Fitch gives Iraq its first credit rating
The ratings agency has given the country a stable outlook and a B- rating, six notches into junk.
The country is planning a $5bn bond issue towards the end of this year.
Fitch is cautious. Very cautious. It says:
Political risk and insecurity are among the highest faced by any sovereign rated by Fitch. Sectarian conflict has raged with varying intensity since 2003, ISIS militants currently effectively hold three of the 18 provinces, relations with the Kurdish regional government are volatile and governance indicators are exceptionally weak.
Iraq’s fiscal position has deteriorated rapidly since 2013 and Fitch forecasts a double-digit fiscal deficit for 2015, owing to lower oil prices, higher military spending and costs associated with civil conflict. Savings buffers built during previous years of high oil prices have been largely eroded and the deficit will be financed by debt, likely including a eurobond and funding through an IMF rapid financing instrument that was approved in July.
And if that wasn’t enough…

BGG ~ This is just a credit rating – however… I really like this line…
“Fitch Ratings has assigned Iraq a long-term foreign currency Issuer default rating (IDR) of ‘B-‘ with a stable outlook…”
The credit rating allows them to sell international bonds. On the other hand, it is a “double edged sword”… they can sell – but not for a premium (at that credit level)…which puts more pressure on Abadi to come up with other revenue. He’s having to face reality.
Maliki has to go – Alak has to go… the CBI has to “pony up…”
______________________________________________________________
Nova – We all must take the events happening in any passive investment and draw a conclusion with it. When doing this we cannot forget some of the foundational things about whatever we are invested in. Two of Many with the Dinar are… One is the fact that all government agencies must use the Dinar and Two is that these agencies are in need of The New Mechanism in order to use the Dinar. We have been looking with great anticipation this week on three fronts. Bonds, Tariffs and The Passing Of Power To The Provinces. I realize that Iraq has been collecting taxes since Eve ate The Apple, but they have never done it with the New Mechanism. IMO this mechanism must be in place before we see anything more on its Implementation / Delay. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________
Stryker – Iraq’s Credit Rating: “Fitch Assigns Iraq’s First Rating at ‘B-‘/Stable” Iraq has a credit rating of a B-/Stable, just out this morning. Bring on the Bonds both domestically and Internationally, Fiscal and Monetary Reforms are in the near future for Iraq, so where are they on corruption? Corruption: In my opinion we should see soon a mass roundup and arrest of a majority of the bad guys, including and not limited to Maliki himself and corruption will be under control, for the most part. Then we/they are off to the races…With Iraq’s economy considered stable by Fitch and other agencies to follow in their assessment of Iraq, all that’s needed is to make sure all future revenue from oil sales, tariffs and taxation can stay working for the people and not in the pockets of the corrupt. Real prosperity for Iraq could really be right around the corner my friends!

Bluedog – Article: “Urgent .. Abadi directed to postpone the introduction of the new customs tariff” YES IT’S ON ABADI’S WEBSITE SO IT IS TRUE. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS MOVE?

Abadi directed to postpone the introduction of the new customs tariff
BAGHDAD / Obelisk: Information Office of the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, announced Thursday that al-Abadi face to postpone the introduction of the new customs tariff until ensure the readiness of all border crossings to apply .
Office said in a statement seen by “obelisk”, “The prime minister Haider al-Abadi face to postpone the new customs tariff of work, while ensuring the readiness of all border crossings to enforce the law, away from the corruption and double standards . “…
BGG ~ This is a fairly big deal. The issue isn’t that Abadi is postponing it…. that isn’t good for us. It’s that he knows there is a missing component – THE ADDED VALUE!! Their own economists warned against this VERY SCENARIO!! It’s no wonder the people are about to be rioting over tariffs with no value.

Iraqi currency and raising the exchange rate …
______________________________________________________________
Kaperoni – Article quote: “…and pointed out that the most important characteristic of that strategy is to strive for the establishment of the Iraqi market, which Council It will be within two thousand and sixteen next year or the next.” Sounds like pressure will start next year to begin to raise the value! Hope so anyway.
______________________________________________________________
Mnt Goat – …each month end, the government of Abadi is reviewed for progress on these reconciliation reforms. We now know that there are 30 reforms and about 20 of them are done. There is so much concern and emphasis now for the completion of these reforms since mid August will make the 1 year outer timeframe for completion of these reforms. These reforms need laws in order to implement them. This is why I keep harping on the completion of these laws as they relate to the RV. No reforms No RV…sorry Charlie…! They are down to the end of their timeframe to complete these reforms… This effort could not go on forever and this end had to come someday. I believe this is the beginning of our RV window and if they can complete these reforms on time we have a wonderful opportunity to see the currency reform and the project to delete the zeroes also being applied.
______________________________________________________________
Kaperoni – Article quote: “the national strategy to promote the private sector is in three phases implemented over 15 years,” The good news is we can see a real determination to implement the market economy now over just talk..starting with the tariffs, the CBI providing funds, then the sale of the 200 or so state companies, laws, etc. Real tangible proof of moving forward. With a clear goal for the government to step back from the development in a year or so…as part of the 3 phases to self sufficiency. The good news is that the pressure created will raise the value of the dinar over the next few years as a result. We must wish them success in this to achieve our goal!
______________________________________________________________
BGG ~ I am so sorry. The last two calls we had scheduled were postponed – Tuesday AT&T had a region wide service outage. We had four layers of internet access go out. Thursday we had a medical emergency (my Dad “coded” while in the hospital). As soon as possible I will actually get a call done… in the mean time, as we are able we’ll keep doing online updates.
______________________________________________________________
Mnt Goat – Article quote “…the Government of Babylon ready for direct transfer of powers from eight ministries, noting that the purpose of the transfer of powers is to provide services quickly without hindrance or delay.” I told you Iraq might get a 3 month extension on the decentralization effort… Well now I have to tell you this 3 month extension was rejected due the unconstitutionality of the decision by the council of ministers. Thus the effort scheduled for completion on Aug 5th, yesterday is still on the radar. …who is actually holding up the transfer…Is it the provinces or the government ministry? … they are telling the people indirectly it is the government holding back the transfer to their provinces. We do know the culprits (which ministries involved)…most of these ministries are not BIGGIES (meaning critical ministries) except one, the finance ministry. Why has the finance ministry not yet transferred to most provinces? Do you want to take a guess? Let’s see how this plays out over the next couple days since we know they are attempting to meet this Aug 14th timeframe for all the reforms, decentralization being one of them. If they are late by a couple weeks we don’t care as long as its not 3 months…lol…Isn’t this exciting?
______________________________________________________________
BGG – [What s going on with Parliament? I thought after Ramadan they were going to get right to work. I just checked their agenda…and no laws of importance are on the agenda clear thru Aug 15?] in retrospect…everyone expected as much – However, the struggle seems to be significant…the news out today is actually high-level meetings with the “3 presidencies” meeting on how to fix the economy and corruption. NOW. …in light of this news I am very hopeful.
______________________________________________________________
Mnt Goat – I wanted to reinforce the stance that the new customs and tariff law IS IN EFFECT however it is a new law and is being met with much resistance in some provinces as they try to find loopholes. Some ask the question as to how can the Iraq people afford these news goods as the tariff fees are passed on to the consumer? Also they say there must be an increase in the value of the dinar (an RV) to compensate for this increase.

Decisions of the three presidencies’ meeting
______________________________________________________________
Frank26 – [When Iraq goes to international status, simultaneously, will the currency go up in value? Does the country have to be international to sell the international bonds?] If it does not offer an International Rate of Interest … Not even a skeleton will buy these dry International Bonds of Iraq. [Does your team still think that the International Bonds will go on sale August 18th?] That is 365 days for A [Abadi] to keep his promise that if not fulfilled will trigger M [Maliki] to react against him. As for DB ( Domestic Bonds)… iMO … The FIRST of them are being sold NOW. [URGENT FROM IRAQIA TV: CBI WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE NEXT SAT AT 10 AM AT SHERATON ISHTAR HOTEL.] No one knew of THIS “CBI” MEETING …When was the last time YOU saw a CBI meeting? And B 4 the 18th.
______________________________________________________________
Adam Montana – [I was wondering what you think is the underlying cause for the delay of the RV?] I want to answer it in a way that might change how people are looking at this. You believe that the RV is being delayed, but what if it’s not actually delayed… and things are actually proceeding exactly as planned and needed? When people think the RV is “delayed”, that’s because they think it was “scheduled” for an earlier date. It’s my opinion that the change in the value of the dinar has been and always will be a very careful process, and it probably doesn’t have a specific date. In order for the RV to be successful, we have always needed a specific situation to be present. Way back in the very beginnings of this site, I always said we need 3 things: GOI, CH7, and HCL. We have GOI. We have CH7. Now we just need HCL, and we are really really close!
______________________________________________________________
Millionday – Article quote: “The bank has taken a series of decisions in recent weeks to stabilize the local currency after the dinar dropped against the dollar to 1,400 dinars to the dollar.” SO REMEMBER THE 90 DAYS CBI ANNOUNCED AND THEY ARE STATING HERE THAT THEY ARE TAKING STEPS TO STABALIZE THE DINAR… THEY ARE WORKING TO MAKE THE DINAR STRONG AND GAIN CONFIDENCE…RIDDING THE COUNTRY OF USD ON THE STREETS. [How are they ridding currency… when yesterdays auction was 352 million?] THE AUCTION IS ATTENDED BY BANKS. [SO where does that currency go?] CBI. [when did the 90 day announcement come out?] ABOUT A MONTH AGO. [didn’t the IMF OR the UN ..or was it world bank give a 60 day window to act? if so when was that?] YES THEY DID AND IT WAS ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO.

Adam Montana – There is a lot of buzz about a couple of major dinar dealers getting shut down or investigated. It really has nothing to do with “dinar”. It’s about how they did business. The dinar is still NOT a scam. There is great potential for the Iraqi Dinar to rise in value, be it a little or a lot, and we all have every right to own it, hold it, and gain from it. …there’s a lot going on, and even a little excitement building amongst my closest Iraqi contacts, but as of right now – no HCL, so no RV. That’s the bottom line. In a nutshell, the IMF is actually putting pressure on Iraq to get moving, and the timeline is less than 2 months. I’ve always said that the IMF can’t force Iraq to RV, or anything else for that matter. The CBI and GOI will do what it wants, when it wants… but this is looking like good pressure on Iraq, and that’s part of why my contacts are starting to crank up their enthusiasm.
______________________________________________________________
SteveI – [You have been confident before & the RV did not happen. Is there anything different this time around?] Yes, that is very true, ISIS was not part of the plan which sure caused many problems for not only Iraq, but other countries as well. I personally think this was a huge set back for Iraq, but they will get control and push forward and be the powerful country that their assets can back up.

Kaperoni – “The central bank plans to put up for the benefit of financial bonds worth two billion dollars” As far as I know, these are domestic in country bonds being sold. International or bonds sold to the world market is scheduled for the end of this year..not at this time. There is a good chance if the GOI funds the budget (increase in oil prices, or other sources) they will not even issue the international bond sale. It is a last resort IMO to make meet the deficit.
______________________________________________________________
Enorrste – Quote: “The Federal Reserve’s primary method of reducing the money supply is to sell Treasury securities; more simply put, they sell government bonds. This is often referred to as contractionary monetary policy. By selling bonds to the public (including commericial banks, financial institutions, and the average citizen/investor) the Federal Reserve sells a bond and takes cash out of circulation.” First, selling bonds reduces the money supply rather than increasing it. This is basic economic monetary policy. Second, it seems clear…that the CBI will remove the dinars that they receive from circulation, thereby putting upward pressure on the value of the dinar. The important thing here is that the bonds are being issued in order to reduce the money supply while at the same time making it possible for infrastructure loans to be made by the holder of the bonds.

Chattels – Maliki’s fate may lie with the Shia internal battle ( National Alliance ) to choose their next leader. My sense is that Maliki cannot survive in the margins of political power. He has too many enemies, so if he is not chosen as the leader of the National Alliance then he likely is indeed on the way out and out of the country to Iran.

OOTW – TODAY WE SAW A GREAT PRESS RELEASE FROM KEYWORDS – AN ACTION PLAN FOR ASSIGNING VALUE TO THE IQD! Article “Financial crisis: devaluation of the Iraqi dinar is it the solution?” WHEN THEY SAY “DEVALUATION” THEY MEAN LOWERING THE FIGURE IE AMOUNT OF THE FILS -MOVING CLOSER TO THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR…IN EFFECT “LOWERING” THE NUMBER, IE, MAKING IT “DEVALUED” BUT IN EFFECT, INCREASING THE VALUE AS THE NUMBER AMOUNT/FILS OF THE DINAR ARE REDUCED.
More “guru gyration” – That is not what he said – Alak (mistranslated – “Keywords”) MAY BE IN FAVOR of a devaluation… However, he is on the wrong side of the argument (as always).

BGG – [If they can only muster 200-228 to vote on insignificant laws…how could they ever get a super majority for the important ones?] they have called for international mediation (just over the weekend) on such issues. Could be the world powers will help “persuade” the Shia “leadership” to act right. they are aware of their short comings and have asked for intervention… all in ink... [also the world bank is watching!] with a MASSIVE hammer in their hand. [does the 60 day deadline have ANYTHING to do with an International rate?] IMHO it has EVERYTHING to do with a rate – the WB/IMF has (essentially) told them to get their AML policies in order or they will WOP them back to the stone ages (in currency value). aka – BLACKLISTED…that does not appear to be a hollow threat… and it would seem directed at Maliki and his cronies.

Delta – The only thing left is the currency reform. They must lift the 3 zeros and move forward. In my opinion…you will never see an international bond without the currency reform. We will not see an international rate without currency reform. The IMF told Iraq a long time ago…they stated specifically…they will help Iraq if they implement the tariffs and lifting the value of their currency. The tariff…they are implemented. For the IMF to give the emergency loans…they know what’s going on. The reason why I’m excited…it’s impossible to increase things with 20% taxes without increasing power of purchase. If Iraq came out at .85 or 1 to 1…that is not the true value. The true value is over 3. I’m very, very excited! I’m very anxious to see what happens this September. [post 2 of 2]

Delta – I do have the confirmation…one bond does exist…a domestic bond. For every dollar that you are going to buy…the price is 1095 dinar on those bonds…you may not see that in the news because that happens internally within the banks. From August 2 until 31st the CBI is doing this to raise some liquidity and capital for the financial ministry in Iraq. Those bonds mature in 1 year. In one year…financial ministry has to pay you the money plus about 6% interest. I think it’s disappointing that the CBI is doing this to the citizens because we all know what’s going to happen. Say 2 or 3 months the value increases…imagine how upset they will be? In my opinion…we may not see any changes in the month of August because of those bonds. I don’t think the CBI would pull the trigger while selling those bonds. In my opinion – nothing will happen in August. If the CBI sells the bonds fast…they could increase the value.

Frank26 – Maybe by the 18th…highly possible…we may have a better chance of seeing the bonds come out for the citizens of Iraq. The anti-money laundering law is in place as of right now! It was put in place today at the borders. They didn’t even want the bonds sold until this anti-money laundering law was done. Jubouri threatened that if they (GOI) didn’t get this done, he would expose what parliament was doing to the citizens. The concerns for Abadi when he took over as the new Prime Minster were serious. He told the people to give him 1 year and he would clean up all of the Maliki mess. Well guess what? Security comes in many forms. Abadi and Dr. Shabibi are one…united in getting rid of Maliki and his base. We believe now that the anti-money laundering law is in place … they can now deal with them from causing any problems. The reinstatement is something we want to see. At some point they can jump into the RV during the International phase. This has to work perfect. [post 2 of 2]

Frank26 – [via FrostytheSnowman] …the LAWS are very important for the security for Iraq. They satisfy the borders (taxes / tariffs) those protect the currency and the revenue stream for Dr. Shabibi. …the TARIFFS are in place TODAY [Monday]. The TAXES and TARIFFS are applied through the borders but they don’t apply to FOOD – because they need to take care of the citizens. If you want to bring a product into Iraq it’s going to cost the companies a lot of money. Those companies are pouring in because they want to be a part of the monetary reform. The only security we’re interested in is the movement of the monetary reform. The international world knows it’s coming with the taxes and tariff’s kicking in. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Memphis – [ARE THE TARIFFS AND TAXES BEING IMPLEMENTED A SIGNIFICANT STEP IN THE MONETARY REFORM? WHY OR WHY NOT?] There are many markers that will point to the end stages of Iraq’s monetary reform and among them is implementation of the tariff on all goods. I have been watching the latest push as it APPEARS they are serious this time. Now as to why? The WTO has placed it as a requirement to membership and along side this the WTO has also mentioned their interest in seeing the dinar valued more on par with the USD. So I have always viewed it significant as a marker that the end is near.
______________________________________________________________
tlm724 – Article quote: “The law of customs tariff applied in three phases, the first was on the specific types of goods, and the second more goods,” noting that “the application of the third phase began first on Saturday, (the first of August the current 2015), on all goods entering Iraq” 1,2,3 it’s a done deal! Quote: “the General Administration of Customs created the supplies necessary for the application of the law at border posts,” pointing out that “the law will allow Iraq to join the WTO membership global” now we’re rockin!
______________________________________________________________
BGG – [by tariffs going today is that the proof we needed?] not entirely…they may be able to absorb these “internally” for a while… but sooner or later “market forces” take over. [If a tariff is place on something coming into country, isn’t that International?] It is possible to implement tariffs without an RV – but it puts a lot of pressure on the CBI – it is not impossible to think this is what they intend. If the CBI won’t do this – the GOI moves forward without their approval.

Abadi: the Maliki government “spent” all Iraqi cash reserves!
______________________________________________________________
Mnt Goat – I know the plan as it was detailed to me many months ago. All these aspects are interrelated and interconnected such as the needed reconciliation (or Erbil), security, banking and relations with neighboring countries. But our attention now should be on Abadi and the Reconciliation effort and its completion since we see these other areas there are no issues and are under control. Did the Customs and Tariff law get enacted? YES…It positively did get enacted and is now in full force. I am hearing the rollout of these new taxes is slow and so far the impact is MINIMAL thus the pressure to RV is minimal impact also, but only for now. [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________
tman23 – Its not all that easy… When and IF the huge exchange for IQD takes place, the exchange and purchase will require newly created money… which will require a “plan to sterilize” the over supply of domestic money… When you get to the “meat” of what is described as an elusive RV… it’s not elusive… it is not just as easy as flipping a switch… There are so many damaging domino effects in different economies who would pay for the large exchange of the IQD… The control measures have to be absolute… So then we have to believe that it takes more than a few people to prepare for such an event which contradicts that only a few people know… If you attempt to figure out the specifics… it’s way above our pay grade and IQ… and that is not meant to be disrespectful. All we can do is wait and see how they make the change and how it affects our IQD holdings… They are in the process…

Millionday – “National Expert Group announced to promote the private sector…including soft loans worth six trillion Iraqi dinars, confirmed that the government had promised to implement the program within a week or two weeks.” THEY SEEM TO BE CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL BE IN A POSITION TO ACTIVATE THE PRIVATE SECTOR …THIS IS HUGE…GREAT NEWS. [They must feel they are going to get the Money Laundering taking care of that the world bank wants to get these loans, within the next few weeks then.] THE CABINET HAS PASSED ALL MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORISM FUNDING LAWS…SO IT WOULD SEEM THEY ARE CONFIDENT.

Mnt Goat – They are down to the end of their timeframe to complete these reconciliation reforms I have referenced so many times already. This effort could not go on forever and this end had to come someday. The WTO wants them as members and they are slotted to ascend to full member pending currency reform and tariff implantation. Remember it is always all about the $$$$. Having tariffs means a % goes to the WTO automatically through the software payment system. This could mean billions annually for the WTO. Having an international currency means ease of trade and payments, but it also mean having the rate set in the exchanges where they need to reference it for conversion in the software system… It is all interconnected. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________
tman23 – Here is what I was told regarding Iraq domestic Bonds… The CBI purchased government bonds earlier which was to bridge a gap of liquidity to government owned banks. When the CBI purchases government bonds it creates new money which increases the domestic money supply. The offering of domestic bonds is used as a control to decrease the domestic money supply, these are control measures used by Central Banks. The international offering makes sense to come after the domestic and is not a secret plan, it is the financial tools and strategies applied by Central Banks around the world. These moves made by the central bank are known as “sterilization”… The bond sales are not to “raise money”… it is a control mechanism… Iraq is getting a handle on their currency inside and outside of Iraq…

I can’t see a trend in Iraq where they are spending less. Right now the economy of Iraq is based on people eating and the daily functions. There’s really not much outside of that right now. So that’s not going to stop…that’s the foundation. The biggest fear is them not moving and we’re way past that. [Post 2 of 2]

wmawhite – Folks,……..if I were to come in here and start conducting myself like Tony…calling it every day, I am sure you would you would call it into question as to why I would do so. If I came in here and without any factual information said $3.60 by January 2016, would you not challenge me to support my position? Likewise, if I came in here and said $3.60 by 2017, would you not ask for some factual information to back up my opinion? Would you not ask for more than just IMO……..not theory…but good solid information? Well then, what is different if some guy comes in here and says 10 cents or 17 cents by 2017? Where is the factual information? Where is the historical information? Even if it is your opinion, give us data to back it up. Just throwing out 10 cents is just as bad as throwing out $5 or $10 rates. In closing, there is factual information we have that we can form our opinions with – then there are opinions we all have that don’t amount to anything.

Mnt Goat – …about 9 months ago…I began to tell you about the need to implement the 27 reforms and that these reforms were nothing more than the Erbil Agreement of 2009-2010 re-packaged into the Reconciliation or Unity Reform effort. Well I was partially wrong – it’s now actually 30 reforms in total. I also said that in mid August mid 2014 timeframe the parties involved gave the Abadi government 1 year to make good on the implementation of these reforms… I also told you at this time Iraq would have to complete these reforms in order to get any RV. In fact one of the reforms itself is the currency reform we all have been waiting for. This is the plan. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

A kick start of sorts reducing the money supply creating demand for the dinar. I am not so sure. But if so, then they expect the laws to pass in short order and investors to come thereafter contributing to the pressure. One thing is for sure, it appears we will see if the transition to a market economy is going to take off or not over the next few months…And that is something to look forward to watching. […the next few weeks “should be” a barn burner.] Well I am not as optimistic to say “weeks” but nothing wrong with that. [post 2 of 2]

Kaperoni – We are seeing some progress…Tariffs are in effect also taxes on electric and cell phone…And the GOI gave away power today to several provinces which to me is a bigger deal. Bond sales of about 2 trillion dinar start locally, not internationally as some reported. [You still believe we wont be in the .70 or .90 range in the next year or 2?] yes…maybe a dime by early 2017…all depends on how the economy grows and if parliament passes laws...you cannot look at a currencies value as what they need. A countries currency is a result of a countries GDP, growth, investment, etc. If the investors come, it will go up. Not the other way around. If the laws pass, and the flood gates open up, investors come in, investment comes through the Capital Account of the CBI, the dinar will rise…the counter to inflationary pressure is to raise the rate of the dinar…the more pressure, the more the cbi will raise it. When and how fast is relative to that event. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Millionday: Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi an emergency meeting with Minister of Electricity and ministry staff to follow up the electricity problems and weakening the system and the need to make further efforts to increase the hours of processing power to citizens and the fight against corruption.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered after Friday afternoon in Tahrir Square in central Baghdad to protest the lack of electricity and other services provided and demanding the government to contain corruption.
He told activists Twilight News that the security forces have harassed the demonstrators to prevent the arrival of a lot of them from the Karkh district, but they reported that a series of security measures and locked in Tahrir Square.
Millionday: NOTE — THE CITIZENS ARE ADDING PRESSURE TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR MUCH NEEDED SERVICES
Millionday: The prevailing feelings of resentment across the country, despite repeated promises by the Iraqi government to end the crisis of chronic power shortages and repeated interruptions for long periods. And increasing population curse on poor electricity service in the summer where the temperature exceeds fifty Celsius.
Successive Iraqi governments have spent money on the electricity sector amounts of money over the past decade but the frequent interruptions come on top of complaints from citizens who are also protesting against corruption and poverty.
Millionday: NOTE — OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE VERY TIRED OF BROKEN PROMISES — TERRIBLE PROBLEMS STEMMING FROM POVERTY AND AS WE CAN IMAGINE POWER ETC

Kaperoni – …I do not believe there is any relation between the 1095 rate and the official CBI rate of 1166. All these bonds are doing at 1095 is building in the return (interest). Just like a US savings bond does (you pay $10, and in 20 years its worth $25). As for the Tariffs, often a supplier and retailer will absorb the tariff (slight reduction in profit) so the consumer may not be impacted at all. We will have to wait and see if the additional cost changes trickle down or now. Implementation of these certainly does not mandate a RV…

WHERE WERE THE FEDS WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING FILTHY RICH ON DEAD RESERVES FOR ALL THESE YEARS BEFORE NOW? SO I REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THE NITPICKING GOING ON RIGHT NOW…I AM LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT RIGHT BEFORE AN INCREASE IN THE IQD THE DEALERS WOULD STOP ALL RESERVES. WE WERE JUST TOLD THEY WOULD SHUT DOWN FOR A HOT MINUTE TO CHANGE THEIR RATES AND COME RIGHT BACK UP.
WHAT WE DIDN’T KNOW IS THAT THEY WOULD BE TOTALLY PUT OUT OF BUSINESS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN – WHICH SERVES SEVERAL PALPABLE PURPOSES AND KILLS MANY BIRDS WITH ONE STONE NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS CONFISCATING ALL THE RECORDS OF ALL OF OUR PURCHASES OVER THE YEARS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY KEEPING MICHAEL MILITIA, TIMMY TERRORIST, AND LIL’ DEE THE DRUG DEALER FROM CASHING IN SOME UNGODLY RESERVE AND WREAKING HAVOC ON THE NATIONS HOMELAND SECURITY. SO IMHO THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE AND HAS TO BE NOTHING BUT THE BEST THING WE HAVE EVER, EVER, EVER SEEN.

Poppy3 – TARIFFS FROM WHAT DR SHABIBI STATED WOULD NOT EVEN PAY FOR THE 3000 WORKERS IT WOULD TAKE TO MANAGE AND COLLECT THE TARIFFS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY… IMPORT AND EXPORT. FOR THAT REASON I EXPECT TO SEE A NEW RATE AND OBVIOUSLY THE RATE MUST BE SUBSTANTIAL IF THEY ARE TO FULFILL ALL THEY HAVE THAT REQUIRES FUNDING. WE WAIT WITH GREATER EXPECTATION TODAY AND THIS WEEKEND. EVERYTHING DOES LOOK MORE PROMISING THAN EVER BEFORE.

Millionday – Quote: “The head of the minister for economic affairs adviser appearance of Mohammed Saleh, Wednesday, that the application of the decision tariff will not change schedule will apply on time.” PLANS SEEM TO BE GOING FORWARD ON TIME… [SO WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE ARE TAXES AND NO RATE CHANGE?] THE COST OF LIVING NEEDS TO RAISE IN COUNTRY FOR ELECTRIC ETC — BUT THE TARRIFF NEEDS TO IMPACT PRICING FOR COMPETITION TO BE SUCCESSFUL — IMO…GREAT QUESTION… [IF these tariff and taxes start tomorrow [Saturday] without a rate, that will hurt the Iraqi citizens cause they won’t have the money to pay for the items that they need with the taxes added to it?] I BELIEVE THEY ARE FOR EXPORTS ETC — NOT LOCAL PRODUCTS AT THIS POINT.

BGG – …They are looking to deal with corruption in the Central Bank is literally huge…that’s almost a direct response to the boldest threat the IMF and the World Bank made to Iraq. They plainly told them if they don’t handle their situation [money laundering and corruption] in the next 60 days they are going to blacklist their currency and it won’t be worth anything. That would be terrible for Iraq and they don’t want that.

Kaperoni – Article “Parliamentary committee: the government agreed to transfer the powers of eight ministries to the provinces” …Council of Representatives, for the federal government approval for the transfer of the powers of eight ministries of service to the provinces, next Sunday.” This seems like a pretty big deal and it is happening Sunday.

Arthur ~ AS FOR OUR INVESTMENT, I KNOW ALL THE PLACES WE HAVE BEEN IN ALL THESE YEARS AND EVERY SO OFTEN WE HIT MOMENTS IN TIME WHERE EVERYTHING SORT OF COMES TOGETHER IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT, DESPITE ALL THE SKEPTICISM WE HAVE LEARNED TO MUSTER IN OUR WELL LEARNED AND WELL DESERVED NUMBNESS WE SAY THIS COULD REALLY BE IT. AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS JOURNEY THOSE MOMENTS USED TO BE AS FREQUENT AS WEEKLY….THEN THEY BECAME ONLY AT THE END OF MONTHS…THEN THEY DWINDLED TO QUARTERLY AND SOMETIMES LONGER BUT EVERY SO OFTEN WE GET ONE AND WHEN WE DO THEY ARE QUITE EXCITING EVEN THOUGH SO FAR NONE OF THEM HAVE RESULTED IN OUR ULTIMATE REWARD.
WELL MY RVFFL, WE ARE DEFINITELY AND I EMPHATICALLY MEAN DEFINITELY WE ARE AT ONE OF “THE MOTHER OF ALL THOSE EXCITING TIMES”.
JUST AS A LOT OF YOU, I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO THINK OF ALL THE REASONS WHY THIS IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TIME. THIS ONE HAS ALL THE MAKINGS OF THE BEST WINDOW I MAY HAVE EVER SEEN TO DATE.
I WOULD HAVE TO WRITE A NOVEL AS TO THE SPECIFICS WHY I HAVE THIS STRONG POSITIVE FEELING ABOUT AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER AND I’M SURE A LOT OF YOU ARE LEARNED AND CONVERSANT ENOUGH ABOUT OUR INVESTMENT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS TO KNOW A LOT OF THOSE REASONS BUT SUFFICE TO SAY ALL THE TELL TELL SIGNS WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOOKING FOR APPEAR TO BE THERE THIS TIME.
I AM NOT GONNA’ GO INTO THE INTEL I HAVE FROM 4 STATES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE AMERICAN SENATE LEVEL, TO THE 2 OR 3 CONTACTS I STILL TRUST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. EVERYONE OF THEM ARE SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT TO HAPPEN WITH THE IQD. BEYOND INTEL THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE MOSTLY CLUELESS OVER THE YEARS THOUGH THERE ARE THE FACTS ON THE GROUND THAT WE CAN SEE AND VERIFY WITH OUR OWN EYES. BUT I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE THE MAIN FACTOR RIGHT NOW WHICH IS THE FACT THAT THE GOI IS UP AGAINST AN EVER GROWING THREAT OF IMMINENT CIVIL WAR.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THE PTB, EVEN IF THERE ARE FACTIONS WITHIN IT THAT HAVE BEEN HOLDING THIS UP THAT WILL LET IT GET TO THAT POINT AND I HAVE FACTUAL UNDENIABLE INTEL COMING FROM IRAQ LEADING ME TO BELIEVE WE ARE RIGHT ON THAT THRESHOLD.
ONE OF MY MOST TRUSTED CONTACTS TOLD ME, AND I QUOTE “GOOD LUCK GETTING THROUGH THE WHOLE MONTH OF AUGUST WITHOUT TOTAL AND CATASTROPHIC IRAQI GOI/PARLIAMENT IMPLOSION IF THERE IS NOT REAL MONETARY AND CURRENCY REFORM IMMEDIATELY.”
THERE ARE NO MORE CANS TO KICK NOR ROADS TO KICK IT DOWN. EVEN AS EARLY AS WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS WE WILL HAVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO RATHER TAXES AND TARIFFS ARE IMPLEMENTED ALONG WITH SOME UPWARD PIPS IN THE MOVEMENT IN THE DINAR AND ITS POSSIBLE MOVEMENT FROM EXOTIC TO INTERNATIONAL. THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS SHOULD TELL US A WHOLE LOT AS TO RATHER THIS COULD REALLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS BE OUR MOMENT. STAY TUNED! ~ Arthur

How are you makin’ it? First Off I won the Nigerian Lottery so I am set as it is…….Man it is great to win multiple times in a row.
Ok – I am sending this out because it is rumored I retired to Belize and cashed in my lottery winnings…… but no, I am waiting on the dinar so that I can be rich enough to get away from the dinar rumors.
One of the biggest things that we have going for us right now is the tariffs they are going to start on the 1st of August. At least they are supposed to...The papers are saying that they are so lets just say they are…. They have to have an RV to implement the Tariffs so that is why they have moved the tariffs so much because our President has requested Iraq to do so……. and we believe the upper Parliament members received compensation to do so because of all the flack they would have to endure. Now no one would be able to prove the later except why else would Iraq not do what is right for it’s country and was begging to RV last year and just months ago.
The reason they did not RV yet was the President. Again people want to argue with me and I say the whole world wanted the RV to take place monts ago to even a year ago and it did not happen… Iraq wanted it along with the world so the only person who did not want it to happen was our President… these facts all add up to our President stopping Iraq from the RV…. Also we did have intel to this fact…
Now that the President has run out of excuses for not letting Iraq pay the Kurds he is going to have to pay Barzani which has lead to Iraq starting the tariff articles…. Also another major article came out with the bonds selling at 1095 anybody in there right mind should have caught that article as bogus…….. that was disquise the rate it will actually come out…. One of the things we know is the provisional budget that they were going to pay Barzani was going to be in effect from October to the January… and the rate was going to be in the 1.00 to 1.23 range and they were then going to pay Barzani a portion of the back oil that is owed him and then in a few months re-RV and pay the rest…….
When the Tariffs take place on the first the Rate should be in the same range it could be a little higher depending on the last arrangement on the HCL that Barzani negotiated.
So Unless Parliament changes the date again.. Which they do not meet until next Thursday….. or there is a loophole none of us know about then we should see the RV prior to the tariffs if we do not see it then there was a loophole that none of us know about and Obama got his way again….
Keep your chin up we are very close even if we do not see on the 1st the excuses are running thin….
So to sum up we know they need RV before tariffs, and the bond article is bogus…. and Barzani is needing his money….. GO Barzani….
We are close… Every large bank will exchange… RELAX the RV is coming… Barzani is the Person that has to be paid… and Iraq nor the US can do this without Money and the only way for that is RV…
Breathe…
Check www.cbi.iq every day to see if it has changed… do not take a guru or a post about in country RV or any thing else do not be fooled just check the CBI
Do not let your emotions get to you.
BREATHE – BREATHE…. Yes I will do a meeting after the RV…… do not worry I will send out email…

Mnt Goat – Articles: “PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE CONFIRMS THE CONTINUATION OF THE “CENTRAL” TO PRINT NEW BANKNOTES: WILL GO WITHIN DAYS” “Securities Available To The Public Raise The Credit Rating of Iraq to Facilitate External Borrowing” Absolutely predictable and like clock work. Confirms absolutely everything I have been talking about these last months. These coming weeks the window remains the same and I have to say that if we do not see some change in the currency status I will be amazed and totally baffled. I am very, very happy and so should you!
