Mike (Dinar Guru) – …Shabibi worked in the Ministry of Finance and later moved into the CBI Governor position. He modernized the department, built them a new building, raised the value of the dinar from 3000-1 to 1166-1, reduced inflation from 64% to 5.2% and raised the reserves from $2.7 billion to $67 billion.  Not to …..wait for it….shabby.   So, what has Keywords done?  Not much…Since he’s been put into the Governors postion the reserves have dropped from roughly $80 billion to somewhere close to $44 billion. Comparing these two is a disservice to Shabibi. He fought corruption tooth and nail, and for that effort, he was ran out of the country on trumped up charges brought by Haitham al-Jabouri and the rest of Maliki’s henchmen.  Keywords is a Dawa party member who was put, by proxy, into the position he holds today by one of most corrupt members of Iraq’s government.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “Due to security and stability reasons with the war with ISIS we are postponing the project to delete the zeros until early 2017”.   Many want to know why they keep kicking the can down the road as far as the battle to liberate Mosul.  They have been telling us all along that the battle for Mosul would not begin until the fall and that the target for complete liberation is by the end of the year 2016.  We know that no RV will occur until ISIS is gone from Iraq. This is a FACT and they have told us so… Many also believe (as I do too) that the Iranian Kud forces must also withdraw out of Iraq as part of the security issue. Still yet many also believe that Maliki and his goons must be dealt with prior to any RV (as I am one too that believes this is true).  If I remember on the calendar, the year ends on December not October as many…believe…and the government does not plan to even launch the lower denoms until Mosul it all completed.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economy and Investment parliamentary reaffirms its support for the efforts of the central bank in the stability of the dinar exchange”  Quote:  “The Commission on the economy and investment representative, Thursday, to support the efforts of the Central Bank to stabilize the dinar and prevent inflation…” …Shabibi did keep it stable and within 2% for 10 months.  …Shabibi also was about to implement currency reform.  He had a huge media campaign (with the help of the WB) before Maliki stopped him.  The good news this time is that it appears that the CBI, WB and IMF and the government appear to be on the same page to accomplish reforms.  We can only hope that they begin soon.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “ABADI NOMINATE OTHMAN GHANIMI THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE AND MUWAFFAQ ABDUL HADI OF THE INTERIOR” Abadi did forward his nominations for the defense and interior ministers yesterday. However, parliament could not vote to ratify them since they could not muster a quorum. Also they planned to hold a no-confidence vote on the finance minister Zebari for corruption charges but this too had to postponed until Sept 20th…  Article quote:  “…at least some parliamentary blocs stayed away from the session in order to stymie the scheduled vote.”  This news did not surprise me since the Kurds are not going to allow a vote against Zebari as they see this as a sectarian action on the part of the GOI to eliminate yet another position from representation by the Kurds. Zebari is in a position that is supposed to be filled by a Kurd.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “The dollar letter of credit”   Quote:  “...there is no reasonable answer specific and justifiable to not to return for opening letters of credit for the purposes of import , this dollar bleeding of our credit must be curbed to stop losses at all levels.”    This is another good sign that compliance in cash transaction protection continues to be put in place. With these letters of credit, the banks are standing behind and guaranteeing transactions which will in turn ensure they do their due diligence to protect themselves. This adds to confidence in dealing with all banks…even the private banks.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Regarding this conversation about them delaying dealing with Zebari in Parliament today – there were “musings” about such shenanigans being possible in the News yesterday and the day before…not out of character for them… lots of changes going on in Iraq right now…

Bruce (Dinar Guru) –  We heard yesterday that Iraq’s financial and monetary reforms have been announced by Abadi in Iraq. This is what would serve as the international announcement that their currency is internationally tradable.  Their key cards funded, pre paid debit cards can be used anywhere in the world. Some in US received key cards. We knew one individual received with back pay on his key card all the way back to January. We knew he had rate over $5.  Since then the rate has gone up higher.  We are in situation now we are in the calm before the storm. We know even though we don’t have specific dates and times, we can talk about or know for fact that there has been things said that indicate we are exactly at the right place at the right time…That we are truly, (based on the evidence,) at the end of the ride to receive this blessing very shortly based on evidence even through tonight.  I am excited, encouraged.

Central bank: there is no process of converting $ 6 billion out of Iraq

cbiBAGHDAD / obelisk: The Central Bank announced the absence of any transfer of $ 6 billion and $ 455 million operation to calculate Hamad al-Moussawi outside Iraq.

According to the central bank sent the book to the Committee on Parliamentary Integrity, on 4 September 2016 to the absence of any transfer of $ 6 billion and $ 455 million outside Iraq to account Hamad al-Moussawi.

He held the book signing bank governor agency.

The leaked documents, indicated that al-Moussawi, fled the above amount to outside Iraq, and the issue was raised again by the Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari said after the questioning session…

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   [the mere fact that MasterCard is posting an exchange rate (by default being international seeing that it is Master Card) is very good news. Regardless of the current rate, they are connected and accepting and posting an IQD rate on an international scale . Good news indeed (had we had news like this over the past few years we would be jumping out of our skin with excitement over the mere mention of Master Card and IQD in the same sentence.) ]  WHAT IT MEANS IS THE BANKS ARE CONNECTED FOR INTERNATIONAL USE…SO 1305 HERE IN THE STATES…IS WHAT THE RATE IS…AS OF RIGHT NOW.   [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   ...Maliki and his goons will be dealt with at the end of this ride to the RV process.  How could they possibly secure all this new wealth unless they get rid of the culprits that keep stealing it. Here are some of the figures about to go down (INTERPOL investigators). Notice the timing of these investigations now that Amnesty is in the Gazette and finalized.  Obeidi (former defense minister, dismissed under no confidence vote).  FM Jaafari;  Zebari (soon to be “former” minister of Finance…);  Hammad al-Moussawi (state of law MP); Nori Al Maliki (former prime minister of Iraq).  Note Maliki is on the list.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article:   “Dollar selling through government banks”   Quotes:  “CBI decided to bank processing Rafidain and Rasheed foreign currency (dollar), “for the purpose of expanding the cash sales of US $ outlets”   “that expansion of outlets selling the dollar would reduce the speculative price levels, pointing out that the move keeps the fixed rates for the currency...”  Price stability is key for moving towards a future where the dinar reigns supreme in Iraq. They’ve got to have this locked down before moving forward.  Curbing corruption by having price controls in place will provide the safe atmosphere for future changes in rates and moving to a single currency regime.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   As you probably know, we have a new Oil Minster in Iraq. (Jabbar Al Luaibi)   It’s my opinion that he is making much more progress towards where we want to be than the last one... this reminds me of how aggressive Abadi was when he took his spot.  Again, this is a GOOD thing the news is very consistent with reporting his enthusiasm to get things done. This is a great piece of the HCL. [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   No HCL yet, but there’s some other interesting news… most of it I can sum up very succinctly, so I’ll just go ahead and do it.   – Formation of a committee to make Kurdistan independent – L.O.L. Not gonna happen, this is a complete smoke screen. As we draw closer to seeing real HCL news, which is what is currently happening, there’s simply no way Baghdad or simply the other 80% of Iraq outside of the Kurdish areas will be letting this key geographical area out of their grasp! What is MUCH MORE LIKELY is we will see a continuation of the trend that has grown over the last few years – the GOI, Parliament, basically all the “PTB”s will continue to get more generous with the Kurds, and they will get a very healthy share of the future profits from both an increase in the Dinar and the enormous potential profits from a successful HCL. That WILL happen, I am certain of it…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “An informed, Wednesday source, about the involvement of the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research former Hussain al-Shahristani transactions related to the corruption of squandering state funds.” Another snake in the grass that slithers with Maliki…Shahristani is getting caught in the whirlwind of investigations that are ongoing in Iraq regarding a “Who’s Who” list of corrupt officialsShahristani throws a bad light upon Iraq all the way back to his days in the Oil Ministry and with the oil contract bids stemming back to 2009 and 2010…let the boxes and boxes of files provide the proof that Abadi needs to put him away…and may the tracks from those files lead to where the money lies that he squandered away on his own…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Recently we have seen two articles just within the last couple weeks from Dr Shabibi stating the Maliki stole money from the CBI and why he was falsely accused of crimes within the CBI. Why now all of sudden these articles? What is about  to happen in the CBIWhy Ayed Allawi too coming out with his negative statements about the current CBI administration?  I will tell you why (read my lips!)

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) –   Quick story, and we’ve never related any stories, till now:  Last week, I spoke to a Divisional Exec. VP, at one of the Top 5 Banks in the U.S., about what their internal process is looking like, right now.  Answer: “We’ve been moving key, specially trained Wealth Management-Type Personnel, new & old, around to areas where we know lots of new opportunity, wealth and investment will soon present itself.  Some of these people, have even moved across states, for these new opportunities. We’ve geared up professionally, for the upcoming events, and especially for our Top Tier Clients, existing and future. Everything is in place and we’re waiting for these new opportunities to emerge shortly.”

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …keep a close eye on Mosul, after Thursday. Alak’s missed steps are coming into focus be ready for some good news later in the month regarding stability and security.  Watch CBI actions not the words spoken by others…not the RV but that of which surrounds it.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central Bank announces bank equip Rafidain and Rasheed dollar ”  Quote:  “The Central Bank of Iraq, Tuesday, for processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed dollars to expand the cash sales outlets.”  This just means they are liberalizing the foreign exchange as the IMF requests in the SBA making dollars more available.  A condition to reduce the spread and get within 2%.  The ultimate goal..compliance and move to Article VIII.  The auction can’t go away until that happens. These moves were all documented earlier this year.  It just take time for the CBI to do them.   Now we watch and see if the spread comes comes down as a result.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    This is what they mean with the CBI and finance committee claims they will slowly, gradually launch the new denominations. They are talking about initially launching some paper currency (the new lower denoms) and then later, after an RV, launching the new coins. This is the process.  …another good topic today, that of the very recent announcement of the Central bank’s (CBI) intention to issue a new edition of 100,000 dinars category to the market.  This is what we do know as FACTual – the CBI has told us the 50,000 and 100,000 notes are the last remaining large notes to be issued in currency reform. These notes are NOT FOR PUBLIC USE on the everyday streets as they are for inter-banking transactions (between nations) where larger notes are needed (international trade…hint..hint..hint..). So is it not a logical conclusion they are getting close and preparing for some kind of major change such as an “international” rollout of their currency thus going from a “CLOSED” economy to an “OPEN MARKET” (or global economy)…this means going to FREE Global/ International markets.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …they are openly talking again about the dinar and the new lower denominations. This is exactly what we want to hear at this point in time.  The project to delete the zeros is  ongoing…  So why do you think they have launched the e-dinar?  Think about it – how much more of the hard currency will be out of circulation in just a month of using e-dinar and not having people walking around with bulging pockets of paper notes?  I firmly believe this is going to be the tipping point for getting to the ratio of currency they want to remain in circulation. It is the final step in this direction of collection of the large 3 zero notes, at least enough so they can launch the lower denoms. Remember too that included in the launching of the lower denoms is also coins. These metal coins can not be circulated without a significant increase in value…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    So today let me point out to you yet more signs that tells us about my recent claim for a possible RV in the window of  Sept thru Jan 2017.  First we know that Iraq has worked very hard to get to a point where they can quality for “full” ascension to the WTO. Right now they are in “observer” status. They can attend meetings, get trained, get help and share their issues but they do not yet have all the benefits nor take on all the responsibility and rules of a member nation. But this is all about to change as the IMF us telling us…that Iraq is about to get “full” status. But first they must complete some mandated reforms…   Article quote:  “revealed that Iraq is a candidate for accession to the World Trade Organization, and as pointed to the need for the Iraqi government some major reforms…”  But this is not the only good news…    [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I thought the auctions were set up to get the USD off the streets?]  THE AUCTIONS ARE TO ALLOW IRAQ THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TRADE AND PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES AND HAVE AN ACCEPTED CURRENCY TO PAY VENDORS WITH AND NOT BE ANNIHILATED BY LACKE OF VALUE AND HAVING TO PAY A THOUSAND TIMES MOEE FOR THOSE GOODS IN THE PROCESS… ADDITIONALLY…CITIZENS TRAVELING ABROAD…STUDENTS …OR PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS…THAT NEED TO HAVE A RECOGNIZED ACCEPTED CURRENCY WITH THEM ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE…BUT WITH CAP RESTRICTIONS.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –     In Iraq -business that trade out of Iraq has to do everything in dollars. Auctions allow for them to buy dollars and then purchase the products from outside of their country. That is because they are not international and currency is worthless. Now they have letters of credit like you and me with any bank, so they have more time to pay the debt ie 30 days net, instead of cash when they order. This does eliminate the dual currencies which the iMF wants them to do and become a member of WTO.  This all means they may have time to pay but they need to pay with their own currency and not the dollar. Which IMO leads then to RI/RV the dinar, and not much time to do it by the way. NO BODY IS GOING TO GIVE IRAQ AN LOC IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IN DINARS…in our OPINION.

Parliament is dealing with these final steps…We know that the HCL is activated…because Kurdistan is now pumping their oil through their oil pipeline that was closed since March 2016…the Kurds only want their money…and that is why you don’t see the e-dinars or the IEX on September 2nd because they haven’t raised the value of their currency yet…the rate change is needed for many things…it is in demand to the budgetary issues of the 2017 budget.

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports”   More news about HCL. Seems agreements have been made but…It is not all done or enforceable (problem all along with past agreements) until they pass the HCL law and make it all legal and binding. They are hoping to finally nail this down and complete HCL this time around.  They also needed to get the 2017 budget done since it contains the expected barrel output of oil to fulfill the budget that must also be agreed upon by Kurdistan. But they are working on it and we should see HCL in the coming weeks get voted on in parliament.

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  ” Hoshyar Zebari, the documents reveal the scandal for converting large sum of money “with forged papers” into account, “Hamad al-Moussawi”   Quote:  “Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari revealed converter Huda Al-Ahli Bank director and member of the state law called Hamad al-Moussawi, an amount of 6 billion and 450 million dollars for his personal account.”  Well…well…well…if you are going to hang me out to dry…let me see how many names I can cook up that can go along with me…everyone better be getting very nervous...the birds are starting to sing a swan song.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  I am being told that if they stay on their timeframe, can handle ISIS up north and get all the needed laws passed, we will see the articles begin to appear sometime in mid to late October 2016 and they will then be moving towards a late 2016/early 2017 target.  The CBI has told me they will guide us through the entire RV process as it is a multi-stage processSo far in the two instances when they almost RV’d (and it was postponed due to security and stability reasons) they did just that and inundated us with articles about the process and how it was all going to work.  So my contact has told me once again they will do the same in preparation for the 2017 RV target and so expect to see once a forthcoming inundation of articles and news about the process as they re-educate the citizens of Iraq (and us) once again.   [post 2 of 2]

It will be greater than the Amnesty law we witnessed last week. …also…there are some other contentious laws that have been kicking the can down the road. The Iraqi news has talked about the Accountability and Justice law many times in the recent past…it appears there were some disputes with the law and the UN had to get involved to help settle the disputes and negotiate.   …there is an overall plan being executed with all these needed laws… The train is fast moving down the track.  We all know what the final destination of this train ride will be and where it will bring us..hint…hint…lol.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

Of course they do have “an” influence, but at the end of the day it’s not going to be a “major” influence, and that’s the only thing I would worry about. Here’s looking to a SOLID SEPTEMBER!

Bruce (Dinar Guru) –  We heard yesterday that Iraq’s financial and monetary reforms have been announced by Abadi in Iraq. This is what would serve as the international announcement that their currency is internationally tradable.  Their key cards funded, pre paid debit cards can be used anywhere in the world. Some in US received key cards. We knew one individual received with back pay on his key card all the way back to January. We knew he had rate over $5.  Since then the rate has gone up higher.  We are in situation now we are in the calm before the storm. We know even though we don’t have specific dates and times, we can talk about or know for fact that there has been things said that indicate we are exactly at the right place at the right time…That we are truly, (based on the evidence,) at the end of the ride to receive this blessing very shortly based on evidence even through tonight.  I am excited, encouraged.

Central bank: there is no process of converting $ 6 billion out of Iraq

cbiBAGHDAD / obelisk: The Central Bank announced the absence of any transfer of $ 6 billion and $ 455 million operation to calculate Hamad al-Moussawi outside Iraq.

According to the central bank sent the book to the Committee on Parliamentary Integrity, on 4 September 2016 to the absence of any transfer of $ 6 billion and $ 455 million outside Iraq to account Hamad al-Moussawi.

He held the book signing bank governor agency.

The leaked documents, indicated that al-Moussawi, fled the above amount to outside Iraq, and the issue was raised again by the Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari said after the questioning session…

Notice the timing of these investigations now that Amnesty is in the Gazette and finalized.  Obeidi (former defense minister, dismissed under no confidence vote).  FM Jaafari;  Zebari (soon to be “former” minister of Finance…);  Hammad al-Moussawi (state of law MP); Nori Al Maliki (former prime minister of Iraq).  Note Maliki is on the list.

They’ve got to have this locked down before moving forward.  Curbing corruption by having price controls in place will provide the safe atmosphere for future changes in rates and moving to a single currency regime.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   As you probably know, we have a new Oil Minster in Iraq. (Jabbar Al Luaibi)   It’s my opinion that he is making much more progress towards where we want to be than the last one... this reminds me of how aggressive Abadi was when he took his spot.  Again, this is a GOOD thing the news is very consistent with reporting his enthusiasm to get things done. This is a great piece of the HCL. [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   No HCL yet, but there’s some other interesting news… most of it I can sum up very succinctly, so I’ll just go ahead and do it.   – Formation of a committee to make Kurdistan independent – L.O.L. Not gonna happen, this is a complete smoke screen. As we draw closer to seeing real HCL news, which is what is currently happening, there’s simply no way Baghdad or simply the other 80% of Iraq outside of the Kurdish areas will be letting this key geographical area out of their grasp! What is MUCH MORE LIKELY is we will see a continuation of the trend that has grown over the last few years – the GOI, Parliament, basically all the “PTB”s will continue to get more generous with the Kurds, and they will get a very healthy share of the future profits from both an increase in the Dinar and the enormous potential profits from a successful HCL. That WILL happen, I am certain of it…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) –   Quick story, and we’ve never related any stories, till now:  Last week, I spoke to a Divisional Exec. VP, at one of the Top 5 Banks in the U.S., about what their internal process is looking like, right now.  Answer: “We’ve been moving key, specially trained Wealth Management-Type Personnel, new & old, around to areas where we know lots of new opportunity, wealth and investment will soon present itself.  Some of these people, have even moved across states, for these new opportunities. We’ve geared up professionally, for the upcoming events, and especially for our Top Tier Clients, existing and future. Everything is in place and we’re waiting for these new opportunities to emerge shortly.”

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central Bank announces bank equip Rafidain and Rasheed dollar ”  Quote:  “The Central Bank of Iraq, Tuesday, for processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed dollars to expand the cash sales outlets.”  This just means they are liberalizing the foreign exchange as the IMF requests in the SBA making dollars more available.  A condition to reduce the spread and get within 2%.  The ultimate goal..compliance and move to Article VIII.  The auction can’t go away until that happens. These moves were all documented earlier this year.  It just take time for the CBI to do them.   Now we watch and see if the spread comes comes down as a result.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    This is what they mean with the CBI and finance committee claims they will slowly, gradually launch the new denominations. They are talking about initially launching some paper currency (the new lower denoms) and then later, after an RV, launching the new coins. This is the process.  …another good topic today, that of the very recent announcement of the Central bank’s (CBI) intention to issue a new edition of 100,000 dinars category to the market.  This is what we do know as FACTual – the CBI has told us the 50,000 and 100,000 notes are the last remaining large notes to be issued in currency reform. These notes are NOT FOR PUBLIC USE on the everyday streets as they are for inter-banking transactions (between nations) where larger notes are needed (international trade…hint..hint..hint..). So is it not a logical conclusion they are getting close and preparing for some kind of major change such as an “international” rollout of their currency thus going from a “CLOSED” economy to an “OPEN MARKET” (or global economy)…this means going to FREE Global/ International markets.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …they are openly talking again about the dinar and the new lower denominations. This is exactly what we want to hear at this point in time.  The project to delete the zeros is  ongoing…  So why do you think they have launched the e-dinar?  Think about it – how much more of the hard currency will be out of circulation in just a month of using e-dinar and not having people walking around with bulging pockets of paper notes?  I firmly believe this is going to be the tipping point for getting to the ratio of currency they want to remain in circulation. It is the final step in this direction of collection of the large 3 zero notes, at least enough so they can launch the lower denoms. Remember too that included in the launching of the lower denoms is also coins. These metal coins can not be circulated without a significant increase in value…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    So today let me point out to you yet more signs that tells us about my recent claim for a possible RV in the window of  Sept thru Jan 2017.  First we know that Iraq has worked very hard to get to a point where they can quality for “full” ascension to the WTO. Right now they are in “observer” status. They can attend meetings, get trained, get help and share their issues but they do not yet have all the benefits nor take on all the responsibility and rules of a member nation. But this is all about to change as the IMF us telling us…that Iraq is about to get “full” status. But first they must complete some mandated reforms…   Article quote:  “revealed that Iraq is a candidate for accession to the World Trade Organization, and as pointed to the need for the Iraqi government some major reforms…”  But this is not the only good news…    [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I thought the auctions were set up to get the USD off the streets?]  THE AUCTIONS ARE TO ALLOW IRAQ THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TRADE AND PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES AND HAVE AN ACCEPTED CURRENCY TO PAY VENDORS WITH AND NOT BE ANNIHILATED BY LACKE OF VALUE AND HAVING TO PAY A THOUSAND TIMES MOEE FOR THOSE GOODS IN THE PROCESS… ADDITIONALLY…CITIZENS TRAVELING ABROAD…STUDENTS …OR PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS…THAT NEED TO HAVE A RECOGNIZED ACCEPTED CURRENCY WITH THEM ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE…BUT WITH CAP RESTRICTIONS.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –     In Iraq -business that trade out of Iraq has to do everything in dollars. Auctions allow for them to buy dollars and then purchase the products from outside of their country. That is because they are not international and currency is worthless. Now they have letters of credit like you and me with any bank, so they have more time to pay the debt ie 30 days net, instead of cash when they order. This does eliminate the dual currencies which the iMF wants them to do and become a member of WTO.  This all means they may have time to pay but they need to pay with their own currency and not the dollar. Which IMO leads then to RI/RV the dinar, and not much time to do it by the way. NO BODY IS GOING TO GIVE IRAQ AN LOC IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IN DINARS…in our OPINION.

Parliament is dealing with these final steps…We know that the HCL is activated…because Kurdistan is now pumping their oil through their oil pipeline that was closed since March 2016…the Kurds only want their money…and that is why you don’t see the e-dinars or the IEX on September 2nd because they haven’t raised the value of their currency yet…the rate change is needed for many things…it is in demand to the budgetary issues of the 2017 budget.

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports”   More news about HCL. Seems agreements have been made but…It is not all done or enforceable (problem all along with past agreements) until they pass the HCL law and make it all legal and binding. They are hoping to finally nail this down and complete HCL this time around.  They also needed to get the 2017 budget done since it contains the expected barrel output of oil to fulfill the budget that must also be agreed upon by Kurdistan. But they are working on it and we should see HCL in the coming weeks get voted on in parliament.

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  I am being told that if they stay on their timeframe, can handle ISIS up north and get all the needed laws passed, we will see the articles begin to appear sometime in mid to late October 2016 and they will then be moving towards a late 2016/early 2017 target.  The CBI has told me they will guide us through the entire RV process as it is a multi-stage processSo far in the two instances when they almost RV’d (and it was postponed due to security and stability reasons) they did just that and inundated us with articles about the process and how it was all going to work.  So my contact has told me once again they will do the same in preparation for the 2017 RV target and so expect to see once a forthcoming inundation of articles and news about the process as they re-educate the citizens of Iraq (and us) once again.   [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Today I bring you yet more good news…the final passing of the HCL thru parliament was inevitable and just a matter of a short time. It MUST get passage in parliament to become law and be done...When this final passage in parliament does happen it will be larger than HUGE. It will be greater than the Amnesty law we witnessed last week. …also…there are some other contentious laws that have been kicking the can down the road. The Iraqi news has talked about the Accountability and Justice law many times in the recent past…it appears there were some disputes with the law and the UN had to get involved to help settle the disputes and negotiate.   …there is an overall plan being executed with all these needed laws… The train is fast moving down the track.  We all know what the final destination of this train ride will be and where it will bring us..hint…hint…lol.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Reports: secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations to resolve the Justice and Accountability Act

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

Of course they do have “an” influence, but at the end of the day it’s not going to be a “major” influence, and that’s the only thing I would worry about. Here’s looking to a SOLID SEPTEMBER!

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   ...Maliki and his goons will be dealt with at the end of this ride to the RV process.  How could they possibly secure all this new wealth unless they get rid of the culprits that keep stealing it. Here are some of the figures about to go down (INTERPOL investigators). Notice the timing of these investigations now that Amnesty is in the Gazette and finalized.  Obeidi (former defense minister, dismissed under no confidence vote).  FM Jaafari;  Zebari (soon to be “former” minister of Finance…);  Hammad al-Moussawi (state of law MP); Nori Al Maliki (former prime minister of Iraq).  Note Maliki is on the list.

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article:   “Dollar selling through government banks”   Quotes:  “CBI decided to bank processing Rafidain and Rasheed foreign currency (dollar), “for the purpose of expanding the cash sales of US $ outlets”   “that expansion of outlets selling the dollar would reduce the speculative price levels, pointing out that the move keeps the fixed rates for the currency...”  Price stability is key for moving towards a future where the dinar reigns supreme in Iraq. They’ve got to have this locked down before moving forward.  Curbing corruption by having price controls in place will provide the safe atmosphere for future changes in rates and moving to a single currency regime.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   As you probably know, we have a new Oil Minster in Iraq. (Jabbar Al Luaibi)   It’s my opinion that he is making much more progress towards where we want to be than the last one... this reminds me of how aggressive Abadi was when he took his spot.  Again, this is a GOOD thing the news is very consistent with reporting his enthusiasm to get things done. This is a great piece of the HCL. [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   No HCL yet, but there’s some other interesting news… most of it I can sum up very succinctly, so I’ll just go ahead and do it.   – Formation of a committee to make Kurdistan independent – L.O.L. Not gonna happen, this is a complete smoke screen. As we draw closer to seeing real HCL news, which is what is currently happening, there’s simply no way Baghdad or simply the other 80% of Iraq outside of the Kurdish areas will be letting this key geographical area out of their grasp! What is MUCH MORE LIKELY is we will see a continuation of the trend that has grown over the last few years – the GOI, Parliament, basically all the “PTB”s will continue to get more generous with the Kurds, and they will get a very healthy share of the future profits from both an increase in the Dinar and the enormous potential profits from a successful HCL. That WILL happen, I am certain of it…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “An informed, Wednesday source, about the involvement of the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research former Hussain al-Shahristani transactions related to the corruption of squandering state funds.” Another snake in the grass that slithers with Maliki…Shahristani is getting caught in the whirlwind of investigations that are ongoing in Iraq regarding a “Who’s Who” list of corrupt officialsShahristani throws a bad light upon Iraq all the way back to his days in the Oil Ministry and with the oil contract bids stemming back to 2009 and 2010…let the boxes and boxes of files provide the proof that Abadi needs to put him away…and may the tracks from those files lead to where the money lies that he squandered away on his own…

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) –   Quick story, and we’ve never related any stories, till now:  Last week, I spoke to a Divisional Exec. VP, at one of the Top 5 Banks in the U.S., about what their internal process is looking like, right now.  Answer: “We’ve been moving key, specially trained Wealth Management-Type Personnel, new & old, around to areas where we know lots of new opportunity, wealth and investment will soon present itself.  Some of these people, have even moved across states, for these new opportunities. We’ve geared up professionally, for the upcoming events, and especially for our Top Tier Clients, existing and future. Everything is in place and we’re waiting for these new opportunities to emerge shortly.”

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …keep a close eye on Mosul, after Thursday. Alak’s missed steps are coming into focus be ready for some good news later in the month regarding stability and security.  Watch CBI actions not the words spoken by others…not the RV but that of which surrounds it.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central Bank announces bank equip Rafidain and Rasheed dollar ”  Quote:  “The Central Bank of Iraq, Tuesday, for processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed dollars to expand the cash sales outlets.”  This just means they are liberalizing the foreign exchange as the IMF requests in the SBA making dollars more available.  A condition to reduce the spread and get within 2%.  The ultimate goal..compliance and move to Article VIII.  The auction can’t go away until that happens. These moves were all documented earlier this year.  It just take time for the CBI to do them.   Now we watch and see if the spread comes comes down as a result.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    This is what they mean with the CBI and finance committee claims they will slowly, gradually launch the new denominations. They are talking about initially launching some paper currency (the new lower denoms) and then later, after an RV, launching the new coins. This is the process.  …another good topic today, that of the very recent announcement of the Central bank’s (CBI) intention to issue a new edition of 100,000 dinars category to the market.  This is what we do know as FACTual – the CBI has told us the 50,000 and 100,000 notes are the last remaining large notes to be issued in currency reform. These notes are NOT FOR PUBLIC USE on the everyday streets as they are for inter-banking transactions (between nations) where larger notes are needed (international trade…hint..hint..hint..). So is it not a logical conclusion they are getting close and preparing for some kind of major change such as an “international” rollout of their currency thus going from a “CLOSED” economy to an “OPEN MARKET” (or global economy)…this means going to FREE Global/ International markets.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …they are openly talking again about the dinar and the new lower denominations. This is exactly what we want to hear at this point in time.  The project to delete the zeros is  ongoing…  So why do you think they have launched the e-dinar?  Think about it – how much more of the hard currency will be out of circulation in just a month of using e-dinar and not having people walking around with bulging pockets of paper notes?  I firmly believe this is going to be the tipping point for getting to the ratio of currency they want to remain in circulation. It is the final step in this direction of collection of the large 3 zero notes, at least enough so they can launch the lower denoms. Remember too that included in the launching of the lower denoms is also coins. These metal coins can not be circulated without a significant increase in value…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    So today let me point out to you yet more signs that tells us about my recent claim for a possible RV in the window of  Sept thru Jan 2017.  First we know that Iraq has worked very hard to get to a point where they can quality for “full” ascension to the WTO. Right now they are in “observer” status. They can attend meetings, get trained, get help and share their issues but they do not yet have all the benefits nor take on all the responsibility and rules of a member nation. But this is all about to change as the IMF us telling us…that Iraq is about to get “full” status.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I thought the auctions were set up to get the USD off the streets?]  THE AUCTIONS ARE TO ALLOW IRAQ THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TRADE AND PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES AND HAVE AN ACCEPTED CURRENCY TO PAY VENDORS WITH AND NOT BE ANNIHILATED BY LACKE OF VALUE AND HAVING TO PAY A THOUSAND TIMES MOEE FOR THOSE GOODS IN THE PROCESS… ADDITIONALLY…CITIZENS TRAVELING ABROAD…STUDENTS …OR PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS…THAT NEED TO HAVE A RECOGNIZED ACCEPTED CURRENCY WITH THEM ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE…BUT WITH CAP RESTRICTIONS.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –     In Iraq -business that trade out of Iraq has to do everything in dollars. Auctions allow for them to buy dollars and then purchase the products from outside of their country. That is because they are not international and currency is worthless. Now they have letters of credit like you and me with any bank, so they have more time to pay the debt ie 30 days net, instead of cash when they order. This does eliminate the dual currencies which the iMF wants them to do and become a member of WTO.  This all means they may have time to pay but they need to pay with their own currency and not the dollar. Which IMO leads then to RI/RV the dinar, and not much time to do it by the way. NO BODY IS GOING TO GIVE IRAQ AN LOC IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IN DINARS…in our OPINION.

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  I am being told that if they stay on their timeframe, can handle ISIS up north and get all the needed laws passed, we will see the articles begin to appear sometime in mid to late October 2016 and they will then be moving towards a late 2016/early 2017 target.  The CBI has told me they will guide us through the entire RV process as it is a multi-stage processSo far in the two instances when they almost RV’d (and it was postponed due to security and stability reasons) they did just that and inundated us with articles about the process and how it was all going to work.  So my contact has told me once again they will do the same in preparation for the 2017 RV target and so expect to see once a forthcoming inundation of articles and news about the process as they re-educate the citizens of Iraq (and us) once again.   [post 2 of 2]

It will be greater than the Amnesty law we witnessed last week. …also…there are some other contentious laws that have been kicking the can down the road. The Iraqi news has talked about the Accountability and Justice law many times in the recent past…it appears there were some disputes with the law and the UN had to get involved to help settle the disputes and negotiate.   …there is an overall plan being executed with all these needed laws… The train is fast moving down the track.  We all know what the final destination of this train ride will be and where it will bring us..hint…hint…lol.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

Of course they do have “an” influence, but at the end of the day it’s not going to be a “major” influence, and that’s the only thing I would worry about. Here’s looking to a SOLID SEPTEMBER!

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) –   Quick story, and we’ve never related any stories, till now:  Last week, I spoke to a Divisional Exec. VP, at one of the Top 5 Banks in the U.S., about what their internal process is looking like, right now.  Answer: “We’ve been moving key, specially trained Wealth Management-Type Personnel, new & old, around to areas where we know lots of new opportunity, wealth and investment will soon present itself.  Some of these people, have even moved across states, for these new opportunities. We’ve geared up professionally, for the upcoming events, and especially for our Top Tier Clients, existing and future. Everything is in place and we’re waiting for these new opportunities to emerge shortly.”

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central Bank announces bank equip Rafidain and Rasheed dollar ”  Quote:  “The Central Bank of Iraq, Tuesday, for processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed dollars to expand the cash sales outlets.”  This just means they are liberalizing the foreign exchange as the IMF requests in the SBA making dollars more available.  A condition to reduce the spread and get within 2%.  The ultimate goal..compliance and move to Article VIII.  The auction can’t go away until that happens. These moves were all documented earlier this year.  It just take time for the CBI to do them.   Now we watch and see if the spread comes comes down as a result.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    This is what they mean with the CBI and finance committee claims they will slowly, gradually launch the new denominations. They are talking about initially launching some paper currency (the new lower denoms) and then later, after an RV, launching the new coins. This is the process.  …another good topic today, that of the very recent announcement of the Central bank’s (CBI) intention to issue a new edition of 100,000 dinars category to the market.  This is what we do know as FACTual – the CBI has told us the 50,000 and 100,000 notes are the last remaining large notes to be issued in currency reform. These notes are NOT FOR PUBLIC USE on the everyday streets as they are for inter-banking transactions (between nations) where larger notes are needed (international trade…hint..hint..hint..). So is it not a logical conclusion they are getting close and preparing for some kind of major change such as an “international” rollout of their currency thus going from a “CLOSED” economy to an “OPEN MARKET” (or global economy)…this means going to FREE Global/ International markets.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …they are openly talking again about the dinar and the new lower denominations. This is exactly what we want to hear at this point in time.  The project to delete the zeros is  ongoing…  So why do you think they have launched the e-dinar?  Think about it – how much more of the hard currency will be out of circulation in just a month of using e-dinar and not having people walking around with bulging pockets of paper notes?  I firmly believe this is going to be the tipping point for getting to the ratio of currency they want to remain in circulation. It is the final step in this direction of collection of the large 3 zero notes, at least enough so they can launch the lower denoms. Remember too that included in the launching of the lower denoms is also coins. These metal coins can not be circulated without a significant increase in value…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    So today let me point out to you yet more signs that tells us about my recent claim for a possible RV in the window of  Sept thru Jan 2017.  First we know that Iraq has worked very hard to get to a point where they can quality for “full” ascension to the WTO. Right now they are in “observer” status. They can attend meetings, get trained, get help and share their issues but they do not yet have all the benefits nor take on all the responsibility and rules of a member nation. But this is all about to change as the IMF us telling us…that Iraq is about to get “full” status. But first they must complete some mandated reforms…   Article quote:  “revealed that Iraq is a candidate for accession to the World Trade Organization, and as pointed to the need for the Iraqi government some major reforms…”  But this is not the only good news…    [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I thought the auctions were set up to get the USD off the streets?]  THE AUCTIONS ARE TO ALLOW IRAQ THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TRADE AND PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES AND HAVE AN ACCEPTED CURRENCY TO PAY VENDORS WITH AND NOT BE ANNIHILATED BY LACKE OF VALUE AND HAVING TO PAY A THOUSAND TIMES MOEE FOR THOSE GOODS IN THE PROCESS… ADDITIONALLY…CITIZENS TRAVELING ABROAD…STUDENTS …OR PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS…THAT NEED TO HAVE A RECOGNIZED ACCEPTED CURRENCY WITH THEM ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE…BUT WITH CAP RESTRICTIONS.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –     In Iraq -business that trade out of Iraq has to do everything in dollars. Auctions allow for them to buy dollars and then purchase the products from outside of their country. That is because they are not international and currency is worthless. Now they have letters of credit like you and me with any bank, so they have more time to pay the debt ie 30 days net, instead of cash when they order. This does eliminate the dual currencies which the iMF wants them to do and become a member of WTO.  This all means they may have time to pay but they need to pay with their own currency and not the dollar. Which IMO leads then to RI/RV the dinar, and not much time to do it by the way. NO BODY IS GOING TO GIVE IRAQ AN LOC IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IN DINARS…in our OPINION.

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –     A RV from rags to riches is pure speculation…Lifting the 3 zeros at the start of the New Year has been their topic in ink for years…How they will treat the 3 zero notes we hold is pure speculation… WE hope for rags to riches…BUT the only thing for certain is currency reform which includes removing 3 zeros from currency notes…and if that means NEW CURRENCY or includes the currency we hold also…that is the reality of it!

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   UPDATE ON THE IEX…THERE DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE LIVE PUBLIC TRADING UNTIL SOMETIME AFTER THE 15TH OF SEPT.!  COULD THIS BE WHY THE BUDGET NEEDS TO BE PASSED BY THE 10TH?  HMMMM.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports”   More news about HCL. Seems agreements have been made but…It is not all done or enforceable (problem all along with past agreements) until they pass the HCL law and make it all legal and binding. They are hoping to finally nail this down and complete HCL this time around.  They also needed to get the 2017 budget done since it contains the expected barrel output of oil to fulfill the budget that must also be agreed upon by Kurdistan. But they are working on it and we should see HCL in the coming weeks get voted on in parliament.

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  ” Hoshyar Zebari, the documents reveal the scandal for converting large sum of money “with forged papers” into account, “Hamad al-Moussawi”   Quote:  “Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari revealed converter Huda Al-Ahli Bank director and member of the state law called Hamad al-Moussawi, an amount of 6 billion and 450 million dollars for his personal account.”  Well…well…well…if you are going to hang me out to dry…let me see how many names I can cook up that can go along with me…everyone better be getting very nervous...the birds are starting to sing a swan song.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  I am being told that if they stay on their timeframe, can handle ISIS up north and get all the needed laws passed, we will see the articles begin to appear sometime in mid to late October 2016 and they will then be moving towards a late 2016/early 2017 target.  The CBI has told me they will guide us through the entire RV process as it is a multi-stage processSo far in the two instances when they almost RV’d (and it was postponed due to security and stability reasons) they did just that and inundated us with articles about the process and how it was all going to work.  So my contact has told me once again they will do the same in preparation for the 2017 RV target and so expect to see once a forthcoming inundation of articles and news about the process as they re-educate the citizens of Iraq (and us) once again.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Today I bring you yet more good news…the final passing of the HCL thru parliament was inevitable and just a matter of a short time. It MUST get passage in parliament to become law and be done...When this final passage in parliament does happen it will be larger than HUGE. It will be greater than the Amnesty law we witnessed last week. …also…there are some other contentious laws that have been kicking the can down the road. The Iraqi news has talked about the Accountability and Justice law many times in the recent past…it appears there were some disputes with the law and the UN had to get involved to help settle the disputes and negotiate.   …there is an overall plan being executed with all these needed laws… The train is fast moving down the track.  We all know what the final destination of this train ride will be and where it will bring us..hint…hint…lol.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Video: “activation of the oil agreement between Baghdad and Erbil Thursday”   Quote:  “Activation of the previous agreement between Baghdad and Erbil regarding the export of oil and the two sides vowed to abide by its provisions apply”   BINGO!!! TEAMS heard it in Arabic…This is real BUT…We seek MORE confirmation…You see …The key word is Activation for it has been Passed years ago …Just never Activated inside their Budget! IMO …This is Tremendous!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  I do not know if we will see an RV this year or not…but I have told you very clearly that we are in the RI state for the fiscal part that starts on October 1st…you will see…God willing…the budget and things next month in September in the middle that will guide us and tell us more about that…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [I thought it would be the Central Bank of Iraq calling the shots, how is it that now Iran is somewhat influencing said fixed interest rates they’ll have that other major lenders have been protesting?]  You bring up a valid point, but I’ll assure you that I’m not worried about Iran’s influence. Of course they do have “an” influence, but at the end of the day it’s not going to be a “major” influence, and that’s the only thing I would worry about. Here’s looking to a SOLID SEPTEMBER!

*** Current News ***

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central Bank announces bank equip Rafidain and Rasheed dollar ”  Quote:  “The Central Bank of Iraq, Tuesday, for processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed dollars to expand the cash sales outlets.”  This just means they are liberalizing the foreign exchange as the IMF requests in the SBA making dollars more available.  A condition to reduce the spread and get within 2%.  The ultimate goal..compliance and move to Article VIII.  The auction can’t go away until that happens. These moves were all documented earlier this year.  It just take time for the CBI to do them.   Now we watch and see if the spread comes comes down as a result.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    This is what they mean with the CBI and finance committee claims they will slowly, gradually launch the new denominations. They are talking about initially launching some paper currency (the new lower denoms) and then later, after an RV, launching the new coins. This is the process.  …another good topic today, that of the very recent announcement of the Central bank’s (CBI) intention to issue a new edition of 100,000 dinars category to the market.  This is what we do know as FACTual – the CBI has told us the 50,000 and 100,000 notes are the last remaining large notes to be issued in currency reform. These notes are NOT FOR PUBLIC USE on the everyday streets as they are for inter-banking transactions (between nations) where larger notes are needed (international trade…hint..hint..hint..). So is it not a logical conclusion they are getting close and preparing for some kind of major change such as an “international” rollout of their currency thus going from a “CLOSED” economy to an “OPEN MARKET” (or global economy)…this means going to FREE Global/ International markets.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …they are openly talking again about the dinar and the new lower denominations. This is exactly what we want to hear at this point in time.  The project to delete the zeros is  ongoing…  So why do you think they have launched the e-dinar?  Think about it – how much more of the hard currency will be out of circulation in just a month of using e-dinar and not having people walking around with bulging pockets of paper notes?  I firmly believe this is going to be the tipping point for getting to the ratio of currency they want to remain in circulation. It is the final step in this direction of collection of the large 3 zero notes, at least enough so they can launch the lower denoms. Remember too that included in the launching of the lower denoms is also coins. These metal coins can not be circulated without a significant increase in value…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    So today let me point out to you yet more signs that tells us about my recent claim for a possible RV in the window of  Sept thru Jan 2017.  First we know that Iraq has worked very hard to get to a point where they can quality for “full” ascension to the WTO. Right now they are in “observer” status. They can attend meetings, get trained, get help and share their issues but they do not yet have all the benefits nor take on all the responsibility and rules of a member nation. But this is all about to change as the IMF us telling us…that Iraq is about to get “full” status. But first they must complete some mandated reforms…   Article quote:  “revealed that Iraq is a candidate for accession to the World Trade Organization, and as pointed to the need for the Iraqi government some major reforms…”  But this is not the only good news…    [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I thought the auctions were set up to get the USD off the streets?]  THE AUCTIONS ARE TO ALLOW IRAQ THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND TRADE AND PAY FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES AND HAVE AN ACCEPTED CURRENCY TO PAY VENDORS WITH AND NOT BE ANNIHILATED BY LACKE OF VALUE AND HAVING TO PAY A THOUSAND TIMES MOEE FOR THOSE GOODS IN THE PROCESS… ADDITIONALLY…CITIZENS TRAVELING ABROAD…STUDENTS …OR PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS…THAT NEED TO HAVE A RECOGNIZED ACCEPTED CURRENCY WITH THEM ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE…BUT WITH CAP RESTRICTIONS.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –     In Iraq -business that trade out of Iraq has to do everything in dollars. Auctions allow for them to buy dollars and then purchase the products from outside of their country. That is because they are not international and currency is worthless. Now they have letters of credit like you and me with any bank, so they have more time to pay the debt ie 30 days net, instead of cash when they order. This does eliminate the dual currencies which the iMF wants them to do and become a member of WTO.  This all means they may have time to pay but they need to pay with their own currency and not the dollar. Which IMO leads then to RI/RV the dinar, and not much time to do it by the way. NO BODY IS GOING TO GIVE IRAQ AN LOC IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY IN DINARS…in our OPINION.

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

Parliament is dealing with these final steps…We know that the HCL is activated…because Kurdistan is now pumping their oil through their oil pipeline that was closed since March 2016…the Kurds only want their money…and that is why you don’t see the e-dinars or the IEX on September 2nd because they haven’t raised the value of their currency yet…the rate change is needed for many things…it is in demand to the budgetary issues of the 2017 budget.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Additionally, the Council of Ministers have agreed on a draft for the 2017 Budget, and plan to send it to the Parliament by mid-September. The Amnesty Law was finally passed. Obeidi, the Defense Minister was fired over corruption charges.  Zebari, the Finance Minister may also be fired over corruption charges. The war on corruption is beginning with the passing of laws and the questioning and dismissing of high level officials. Iraq was lost because of corruption and terrorism, and both have to be addressed.     [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –    Resolving the differences between the Kurds and Iraq has been a major hindrance to any meaningful progress for Iraq. The Kurds have always been able to delay laws moving forward within the GOI. The HCL could never be passed nor implemented without an agreement over the Kirkuk oil fields. Retaking Mosul could not have gone forward without an agreement with the Kurds. These two agreements with the Kurds is VERY important and is Real Progress. Finally!  [post 2 of 3…. stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   We have excellent news!  This agreement with the Kurds over Kirkuk is Very Important! No RV until Article 140 had been resolved. Getting an agreement with the Kurds is extremely important. The meetings between Barzani and Abadi are going very well, with the two most crucial issues being settled. In a press statement, Barzani announced yesterday that an agreement over post-liberation Mosul’s government has been reached between Baghdad and Erbil. Today, it was announced that an agreement over Kirkuk’s oil was reached between Baghdad and the Kurds. Article 140 has been in contention because the Kurds wanted the Kirkuk oil fields. Today’s agreement splits the oil in half and the expenses.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG ~ Don’t agree with the article 140 assertion – just GURU opinion (no “fact based” print corroboration – ANYWHERE!!)

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

I regularly re-evaluate my original thoughts as outlined in my thesis, and as of right now they continue to hold strong. I could be wrong, of course! But to the best of my capabilities, the ten cents is still my peg.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Recommitted work towards the finalization of the oil and gas law. Abadi and Jubouri are not going to stop until they get the draft oil and gas law ( or HCL), passed in parliament to become legal and a binding law. All the news points in a positive direction… Amazingly after almost 8 years finally we experienced the Amnesty law passed last week. Now amazingly, another miracle is about to happen. We will soon see the HCL passed.  Other laws too are on the agenda and coming soon.  So there is a deadline. I know the target date and so we see the progress moving at a very rapid rate now.   [post 2 of 2]

So lo and behold what do we see in the recent news?  Article:  “Iraqi gov’t, Kurds to start talks on oil dispute”   Quote:  “The Iraqi government and the Kurdish regional authorities agreed to start talks to resolve a dispute on oil revenue-sharing that is holding back the nation’s crude exports, according to a statement from the Iraqi prime minister’s office.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Not twice… Not even 3 times, but a lot more. I’m hearing, from good sources that I trust, that things are moving in EXACTLY the direction that we want. But after all this time, I’ve learned to bridle my excitement, to keep my enthusiasm in check, and to not get overly anxious. I’m optimistic right now, but we all know we’re working with a 3rd world country, so let’s just stay patient for now.  I’m hoping to give a different update shortly.

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economist: 2017 investment budget will not be implemented because of the magnitude of the deficit”   Quote:  “It is said that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said he was determined price of $ 35 per barrel of oil within the 2017 budget, noting that the 2017 budget suffers from a large deficit to a lack of oil imports, compared with a rise of employees and retirees salary cap.”   This guy is spot on about the investment side of the budget, its a figment of imagination.  If Iraq pumps 3.5 mbpd at $35 or $40 a barrel, that’s only $50 billion annually, that’s just enough for payroll.  From what I’ve read, the IMF is trying to get rid of this kind of stuff but even with that, there’s nothing left for infrastructure or government owned enterprises, oil won’t cut it anymore.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Iraq has always stated they want to get down to a billion notes…the last report that I’ve seen they were at 4 billion notes.  Since then they have gotten rid of the 50 dinar note.  80 to 85% of their currency is the 25K note.  They are introducing the 50K note and the 100K note…they haven’t done it yet but if they do that is going to allow them to take a certain amount of 25k notes off the market and it’s going to reduce the note count even more.  Pushing forward there is no bad new here.  People are in panic mode cause it’s complete opposite of what they think.  If you strictly go by the numbers the dinar is a phenomenal opportunity, it hasn’t changed.  How many countries are out there saying they’re going to add value to their currency?  There’s only one.  Not only that but they created a checklist on exactly what they need to do to add value to their currency…they said eventually they were going to reduce the note count and they’ve hit every flip’n mark and people are still blind to it!

______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Why didn’t they RV by Mid-Year?  That’s a good question which no one knows. What we do know is that when the IMF came up with their plan for Iraq last December, they had assumed that Abadi would get his technocrat government and the laws would be passed. Instead, there’s been a seven month delay with the GOI.  Corruption is a top priority.  That’s a political battle since everyone is corrupt. But, there is progress. The CBI isn’t going to RV until corruption got under control.  In addition to getting all seven new Ministers voted in by the GOI, Abadi will next need to get proxy positions properly voted in. That includes the Governor of the CBI position. The First thing a country needs to do after war is RV. Mosul will be liberated in the next few months. The GOI just needs to pass a few more laws and approve a few more positions.  The WB and the IMF are ready with loans to help Iraq through their double crises of ISIS and low oil prices. Basra is doing well economically. IMO, this time around when there is peace, Abadi will RV.  The IMF historically prefers April to RV, or Fall.    [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO, It was a failed policy to delay the RV last time they had peace and I don’t think they will delay again.  When will the CBI RV?  That question has been asked and answered over the years by both the former CBI Governor and Architect of the Monetary Reform, Dr. Shabibi, and by the proxy Maliki appointed governor Allek. They both said, “when the conditions are right. There needs to be stability and security.”  Where are we at now with security and stability?  Political Stability: After nothing but political conflict the entire 2016, GOI is finally making some progress. They approved five of Abadi’s choice of technocrats Ministers...His choice of Interior Minister is being discussed now, and the remaining two positions should go through within the next month.  Corruption:  Laws:  The Amnesty Law was passed yesterday. This goes directly in dealing with corruption.  Next week they are working on the Judicial Law.  Prosecution:  UN has stepped in to help with investigation and prosecution of corruption.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Standard & Poor’s sustains ratings on Iraq at ‘B-/B’

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Standard and Poor’s financial services company has affirmed the ratings of Iraq at ‘B-/B’ with stable outlook.

S&P stated that the stable outlook incorporates expectation that the large budget and external deficits could be financed, and the conflict with ISIS will be contained.

Standard & Poor’s also predicted Iraq’s real GDP growth to fall below 2% in 2017-2019 due to the negative effects of fiscal consolidation and weak domestic demand.

RCookie: THIS IS THE NEWLY FAMOUS ARTICLE 14 FROM THE 2016 IMF MEMORANDUM ON ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL POLICIES..THAT WE DISCUSSED ON MOST RECENT CALL….

“14. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the Council of Ministers will approve and introduce to parliament an amendment of the Investment Law, or the CBI will issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction (SB Table 5), as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. As a second step, the CBI will, by the end of 2016, make the weekly limits on the purchase of cash at the weekly foreign currency auctions indicative, in the sense that any bank requiring additional cash for their clients’ legitimate travel expenses will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation. The CBI will make the public aware of such a policy by explaining it through a press conference and on its external website…”

RCookie: AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT LAW……OR…..THE CBI WILL ISSUE CLARIFYING IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS THAT GIVES RISE TO AN EXCHANGE RESTRICTION..AS RECOMMENDED UNDER RECENT IMF TA REVIEW…

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  Getting questions about the 100K and 50K dinar notes…are they going in the wrong direction and will this delay the RV?  No it will not.  The CBI has said they are going to reduce the note count.  They are going to introduce new notes even notes that are worth a tenth of a penny likes yours and mine, the 50K note , the 100K but eventually they are going to introduce the lower notes and these will commingle and both will gain value for about a two year period…and that is what the CBI has said…the 100K notes and the 50K notes is about reducing the note count…This is a not a threat…this is a good thing, a very good thing for us.  …Instead of four 25K notes they only need one 100K note.  That’s going to help them later on down the road…There is no reason AT ALL to introduce the 50K or 100k note if they are not going to revalue the currency and add value to it.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members. May she watch the rest of the Iraq dinar future from the heavens and help our Lord lead others as one of his angels as she did here on earth. RIP dear angel we will all miss you…

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Additionally, the Council of Ministers have agreed on a draft for the 2017 Budget, and plan to send it to the Parliament by mid-September. The Amnesty Law was finally passed. Obeidi, the Defense Minister was fired over corruption charges.  Zebari, the Finance Minister may also be fired over corruption charges. The war on corruption is beginning with the passing of laws and the questioning and dismissing of high level officials. Iraq was lost because of corruption and terrorism, and both have to be addressed.     [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –    Resolving the differences between the Kurds and Iraq has been a major hindrance to any meaningful progress for Iraq. The Kurds have always been able to delay laws moving forward within the GOI. The HCL could never be passed nor implemented without an agreement over the Kirkuk oil fields. Retaking Mosul could not have gone forward without an agreement with the Kurds. These two agreements with the Kurds is VERY important and is Real Progress. Finally!  [post 2 of 3…. stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   We have excellent news!  This agreement with the Kurds over Kirkuk is Very Important! No RV until Article 140 had been resolved. Getting an agreement with the Kurds is extremely important. The meetings between Barzani and Abadi are going very well, with the two most crucial issues being settled. In a press statement, Barzani announced yesterday that an agreement over post-liberation Mosul’s government has been reached between Baghdad and Erbil. Today, it was announced that an agreement over Kirkuk’s oil was reached between Baghdad and the Kurds. Article 140 has been in contention because the Kurds wanted the Kirkuk oil fields. Today’s agreement splits the oil in half and the expenses.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG ~ Don’t agree with the article 140 assertion – just GURU opinion (no “fact based” print corroboration – ANYWHERE!!)

Erbil and Baghdad reach agreement on Kirkuk oil exports

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The Iraqi Oil Minister will soon visit Erbil to meet with his Kurdish counterpart and discuss crude oil exports and revenues.

MP Shakhawan Abdullah said, “The meetings will continue with Kurdistan Region’s Minister of Natural Resources who will be visiting Baghdad for the same purpose.”

“The Kurdish and Iraqi ministers will discuss the technical issues relating to the implementation of a previous Erbil-Baghdad agreement. The KRG and Iraqi government have also reached to an agreement over Kirkuk oil exports through the Kurdish pipelines,” Abdullah revealed…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    […your prediction for the RV, you stated at .10. I was wondering at what speed do you think it is going to float or “rise” up from that rate?]    Regarding the rate, I DO still like the .10 theory! I regularly re-evaluate my original thoughts as outlined in my thesis, and as of right now they continue to hold strong. I could be wrong, of course! But to the best of my capabilities, the ten cents is still my peg.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Recommitted work towards the finalization of the oil and gas law. Abadi and Jubouri are not going to stop until they get the draft oil and gas law ( or HCL), passed in parliament to become legal and a binding law. All the news points in a positive direction… Amazingly after almost 8 years finally we experienced the Amnesty law passed last week. Now amazingly, another miracle is about to happen. We will soon see the HCL passed.  Other laws too are on the agenda and coming soon.  So there is a deadline. I know the target date and so we see the progress moving at a very rapid rate now.   [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Here we are one day from September 2016 already. Iraq is moving at an exhilarated rate forward beyond my wildest dreams. Yes- they have a target timeframe for better security, better stability thus better days ahead. I can hardly believe the news.  I was told by my contacts that we should now watch for the HCL. So lo and behold what do we see in the recent news?  Article:  “Iraqi gov’t, Kurds to start talks on oil dispute”   Quote:  “The Iraqi government and the Kurdish regional authorities agreed to start talks to resolve a dispute on oil revenue-sharing that is holding back the nation’s crude exports, according to a statement from the Iraqi prime minister’s office.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   The last comment from the CBI regarding the 2013 IQD series was that the new 50,000 note “COMPLETED” the 2013 series… The question now is… Does the CBI have a 2016 series ready that include the 3 zeros on the notes…or do they have lower denominations printed… The liberation of Mosul could be the event that lifts off the announcement of currency reform implementation as a security measure to ISIS and the theft of IQD etc… BUT that does not exclude the possibility that Iraq could make the announcement tomorrow or the next day…  [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Article: The national coalition led by Iyad Allawi confirmed on Monday (22 August 2016), the dollar exchange rate in the domestic market management is a “window of thieves and corrupt”…and he expressed concern regarding the determination to continue the auction currency policy despite the warnings and recommendations of experts, called for the inclusion of the Central Bank reforms approved by the House of Representatives.  Folks Allawi is calling for the implementation of the currency reforms including the project to delete the zeros and to get out of a “closed economy” and thus stop the  need to convert dinars to USD to pay debts.  This is a recent article and so we can see the pressure continues for currency reform.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    “The World Bank expressed its readiness to support the Iraqi government financial funding without conditions in order to support its reform program which was approved by the House of Representatives …”  it’s reform program...” – already approved by the HoR?  what are they talking about?   [Looks like they know what we don’t.]   that’s exactly what it looks like…and in light of the MoP “printed plan” from 2012/2013…looks like “back to Plan A”…BTW – MoP (Iraq Ministry of Planning) “printed plan” from 2012/2013 = IQD worth 1.13 USD for approx. 3 years…

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   …once they step across that “currency threshold” moving towards a “singular currency regime” – the logical solution is for the IQD to be “on par” with the USD (which they are currently using)…you do realize what I just said – RIGHT?  the IQD is widely regarded as “GROSSLY UNDERVALUED”… by noted world economists… for them to move to a “single currency” there needs to be some parity once they do so…they can’t come right out and say what it is they really mean (or convey their true intentions)… but  this is looking inevitable.   [post 2 of 2]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    I cannot see how anyone is actually following the financial details of this thing and not be thoroughly EXCITED about where we are (finally!)…One point that gets missed alot – they have signed deals and agreed to remove and adhere to a more “international standard” regarding their internal MCPs… (…”multi-currency practices”)… THIS IS HUGE… MCPs coming to an end…this is a big point in their whole “economic reform package” – it is a complete overhaul… MCPs and currency being only one point of the program…even until recently – they are still (or have been) operating under some odd MCPs. The WB and IMF doesn’t like it…they have agreed to change – are taking direct action and have taken on breath-taking reforms daily…it’s happening before our very eyes…and my final thought is this…    [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Phoenix3333 (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Iraq’s Credit Rating (B- / B) with a stable outlook (Standard & Poor)”   Quote: “Set the credit rating agency Global Standard & Poor ‘s , on Saturday, its credit rating for Iraq when (B- / B) with a stable outlook.  The experts say that this class is very close to the economic reality of Iraq under the circumstances witnessed by the decline in oil prices and the war on « Daesh »terrorist.

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economist: 2017 investment budget will not be implemented because of the magnitude of the deficit”   Quote:  “It is said that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said he was determined price of $ 35 per barrel of oil within the 2017 budget, noting that the 2017 budget suffers from a large deficit to a lack of oil imports, compared with a rise of employees and retirees salary cap.”   This guy is spot on about the investment side of the budget, its a figment of imagination.  If Iraq pumps 3.5 mbpd at $35 or $40 a barrel, that’s only $50 billion annually, that’s just enough for payroll.  From what I’ve read, the IMF is trying to get rid of this kind of stuff but even with that, there’s nothing left for infrastructure or government owned enterprises, oil won’t cut it anymore.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Iraq has always stated they want to get down to a billion notes…the last report that I’ve seen they were at 4 billion notes.  Since then they have gotten rid of the 50 dinar note.  80 to 85% of their currency is the 25K note.  They are introducing the 50K note and the 100K note…they haven’t done it yet but if they do that is going to allow them to take a certain amount of 25k notes off the market and it’s going to reduce the note count even more.  Pushing forward there is no bad new here.  People are in panic mode cause it’s complete opposite of what they think.  If you strictly go by the numbers the dinar is a phenomenal opportunity, it hasn’t changed.  How many countries are out there saying they’re going to add value to their currency?  There’s only one.  Not only that but they created a checklist on exactly what they need to do to add value to their currency…they said eventually they were going to reduce the note count and they’ve hit every flip’n mark and people are still blind to it!

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Why didn’t they RV by Mid-Year?  That’s a good question which no one knows. What we do know is that when the IMF came up with their plan for Iraq last December, they had assumed that Abadi would get his technocrat government and the laws would be passed. Instead, there’s been a seven month delay with the GOI.  Corruption is a top priority.  That’s a political battle since everyone is corrupt. But, there is progress. The CBI isn’t going to RV until corruption got under control.  In addition to getting all seven new Ministers voted in by the GOI, Abadi will next need to get proxy positions properly voted in. That includes the Governor of the CBI position. The First thing a country needs to do after war is RV. Mosul will be liberated in the next few months. The GOI just needs to pass a few more laws and approve a few more positions.  The WB and the IMF are ready with loans to help Iraq through their double crises of ISIS and low oil prices. Basra is doing well economically. IMO, this time around when there is peace, Abadi will RV.  The IMF historically prefers April to RV, or Fall.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO, It was a failed policy to delay the RV last time they had peace and I don’t think they will delay again.  When will the CBI RV?  That question has been asked and answered over the years by both the former CBI Governor and Architect of the Monetary Reform, Dr. Shabibi, and by the proxy Maliki appointed governor Allek. They both said, “when the conditions are right. There needs to be stability and security.”  Where are we at now with security and stability?  Political Stability: After nothing but political conflict the entire 2016, GOI is finally making some progress. They approved five of Abadi’s choice of technocrats Ministers...His choice of Interior Minister is being discussed now, and the remaining two positions should go through within the next month.  Corruption:  Laws:  The Amnesty Law was passed yesterday. This goes directly in dealing with corruption.  Next week they are working on the Judicial Law.  Prosecution:  UN has stepped in to help with investigation and prosecution of corruption.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Standard & Poor’s sustains ratings on Iraq at ‘B-/B’

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Standard and Poor’s financial services company has affirmed the ratings of Iraq at ‘B-/B’ with stable outlook.

S&P stated that the stable outlook incorporates expectation that the large budget and external deficits could be financed, and the conflict with ISIS will be contained.

Standard & Poor’s also predicted Iraq’s real GDP growth to fall below 2% in 2017-2019 due to the negative effects of fiscal consolidation and weak domestic demand.

RCookie: THIS IS THE NEWLY FAMOUS ARTICLE 14 FROM THE 2016 IMF MEMORANDUM ON ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL POLICIES..THAT WE DISCUSSED ON MOST RECENT CALL….

“14. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the Council of Ministers will approve and introduce to parliament an amendment of the Investment Law, or the CBI will issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction (SB Table 5), as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. As a second step, the CBI will, by the end of 2016, make the weekly limits on the purchase of cash at the weekly foreign currency auctions indicative, in the sense that any bank requiring additional cash for their clients’ legitimate travel expenses will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation. The CBI will make the public aware of such a policy by explaining it through a press conference and on its external website…”

RCookie: AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT LAW……OR…..THE CBI WILL ISSUE CLARIFYING IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS THAT GIVES RISE TO AN EXCHANGE RESTRICTION..AS RECOMMENDED UNDER RECENT IMF TA REVIEW…

______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  Getting questions about the 100K and 50K dinar notes…are they going in the wrong direction and will this delay the RV?  No it will not.  The CBI has said they are going to reduce the note count.  They are going to introduce new notes even notes that are worth a tenth of a penny likes yours and mine, the 50K note , the 100K but eventually they are going to introduce the lower notes and these will commingle and both will gain value for about a two year period…and that is what the CBI has said…the 100K notes and the 50K notes is about reducing the note count…This is a not a threat…this is a good thing, a very good thing for us.  …Instead of four 25K notes they only need one 100K note.  That’s going to help them later on down the road…There is no reason AT ALL to introduce the 50K or 100k note if they are not going to revalue the currency and add value to it.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO …NO country is as advanced or best prepared to do an RI into an RV of their MR… Than Iraq.  At this present TIME FRAMED … The USA/IMF has ONLY one girl at the Prom right now … Iraq.  There are more Prom’s … Coming.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members. May she watch the rest of the Iraq dinar future from the heavens and help our Lord lead others as one of his angels as she did here on earth. RIP dear angel we will all miss you…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    […your prediction for the RV, you stated at .10. I was wondering at what speed do you think it is going to float or “rise” up from that rate?]    Regarding the rate, I DO still like the .10 theory! I regularly re-evaluate my original thoughts as outlined in my thesis, and as of right now they continue to hold strong. I could be wrong, of course! But to the best of my capabilities, the ten cents is still my peg.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Recommitted work towards the finalization of the oil and gas law. Abadi and Jubouri are not going to stop until they get the draft oil and gas law ( or HCL), passed in parliament to become legal and a binding law. All the news points in a positive direction… Amazingly after almost 8 years finally we experienced the Amnesty law passed last week. Now amazingly, another miracle is about to happen. We will soon see the HCL passed.  Other laws too are on the agenda and coming soon.  So there is a deadline. I know the target date and so we see the progress moving at a very rapid rate now.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Here we are one day from September 2016 already. Iraq is moving at an exhilarated rate forward beyond my wildest dreams. Yes- they have a target timeframe for better security, better stability thus better days ahead. I can hardly believe the news.  I was told by my contacts that we should now watch for the HCL. So lo and behold what do we see in the recent news?  Article:  “Iraqi gov’t, Kurds to start talks on oil dispute”   Quote:  “The Iraqi government and the Kurdish regional authorities agreed to start talks to resolve a dispute on oil revenue-sharing that is holding back the nation’s crude exports, according to a statement from the Iraqi prime minister’s office.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Not twice… Not even 3 times, but a lot more. I’m hearing, from good sources that I trust, that things are moving in EXACTLY the direction that we want. But after all this time, I’ve learned to bridle my excitement, to keep my enthusiasm in check, and to not get overly anxious. I’m optimistic right now, but we all know we’re working with a 3rd world country, so let’s just stay patient for now.  I’m hoping to give a different update shortly.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  The IMF also told Abadi you need to reduce your GOI ministers and he did…he went from 22 cabinet members to 12… Abadi can and will get the reforms done…the Economic and the Financial Reforms…  It is all coming together IOO in order to create order within Iraq.  They are going to remove the MCP of the other currencies they are using…they won’t use the USD but they will be pegged to it…they need to stop using foreign currency now that they are about to come out with a budget….and if it comes out 1 to 1…you need to understand that was the whole plan from December.  2012 might have been at 10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents, whatever…but now the IMF since December has made it very clear it is 1 to 1…plus…every time an article comes out from the GOI or the CBI or some Financial Committee member it is always 1 to 1…I am of the school that they will come out at 1 to 1.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Article: The national coalition led by Iyad Allawi confirmed on Monday (22 August 2016), the dollar exchange rate in the domestic market management is a “window of thieves and corrupt”…and he expressed concern regarding the determination to continue the auction currency policy despite the warnings and recommendations of experts, called for the inclusion of the Central Bank reforms approved by the House of Representatives.  Folks Allawi is calling for the implementation of the currency reforms including the project to delete the zeros and to get out of a “closed economy” and thus stop the  need to convert dinars to USD to pay debts.  This is a recent article and so we can see the pressure continues for currency reform.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    “The World Bank expressed its readiness to support the Iraqi government financial funding without conditions in order to support its reform program which was approved by the House of Representatives …”  it’s reform program...” – already approved by the HoR?  what are they talking about?   [Looks like they know what we don’t.]   that’s exactly what it looks like…and in light of the MoP “printed plan” from 2012/2013…looks like “back to Plan A”…BTW – MoP (Iraq Ministry of Planning) “printed plan” from 2012/2013 = IQD worth 1.13 USD for approx. 3 years…

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

The WB and IMF doesn’t like it…they have agreed to change – are taking direct action and have taken on breath-taking reforms daily…it’s happening before our very eyes…and my final thought is this…    [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economist: 2017 investment budget will not be implemented because of the magnitude of the deficit”   Quote:  “It is said that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said he was determined price of $ 35 per barrel of oil within the 2017 budget, noting that the 2017 budget suffers from a large deficit to a lack of oil imports, compared with a rise of employees and retirees salary cap.”   This guy is spot on about the investment side of the budget, its a figment of imagination.  If Iraq pumps 3.5 mbpd at $35 or $40 a barrel, that’s only $50 billion annually, that’s just enough for payroll.  From what I’ve read, the IMF is trying to get rid of this kind of stuff but even with that, there’s nothing left for infrastructure or government owned enterprises, oil won’t cut it anymore.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Iraq has always stated they want to get down to a billion notes…the last report that I’ve seen they were at 4 billion notes.  Since then they have gotten rid of the 50 dinar note.  80 to 85% of their currency is the 25K note.  They are introducing the 50K note and the 100K note…they haven’t done it yet but if they do that is going to allow them to take a certain amount of 25k notes off the market and it’s going to reduce the note count even more.  Pushing forward there is no bad new here.  People are in panic mode cause it’s complete opposite of what they think.  If you strictly go by the numbers the dinar is a phenomenal opportunity, it hasn’t changed.  How many countries are out there saying they’re going to add value to their currency?  There’s only one.  Not only that but they created a checklist on exactly what they need to do to add value to their currency…they said eventually they were going to reduce the note count and they’ve hit every flip’n mark and people are still blind to it!

______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Why didn’t they RV by Mid-Year?  That’s a good question which no one knows. What we do know is that when the IMF came up with their plan for Iraq last December, they had assumed that Abadi would get his technocrat government and the laws would be passed. Instead, there’s been a seven month delay with the GOI.  Corruption is a top priority.  That’s a political battle since everyone is corrupt. But, there is progress. The CBI isn’t going to RV until corruption got under control.  In addition to getting all seven new Ministers voted in by the GOI, Abadi will next need to get proxy positions properly voted in. That includes the Governor of the CBI position. The First thing a country needs to do after war is RV. Mosul will be liberated in the next few months. The GOI just needs to pass a few more laws and approve a few more positions.  The WB and the IMF are ready with loans to help Iraq through their double crises of ISIS and low oil prices. Basra is doing well economically. IMO, this time around when there is peace, Abadi will RV.  The IMF historically prefers April to RV, or Fall.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO, It was a failed policy to delay the RV last time they had peace and I don’t think they will delay again.  When will the CBI RV?  That question has been asked and answered over the years by both the former CBI Governor and Architect of the Monetary Reform, Dr. Shabibi, and by the proxy Maliki appointed governor Allek. They both said, “when the conditions are right. There needs to be stability and security.”  Where are we at now with security and stability?  Political Stability: After nothing but political conflict the entire 2016, GOI is finally making some progress. They approved five of Abadi’s choice of technocrats Ministers...His choice of Interior Minister is being discussed now, and the remaining two positions should go through within the next month.  Corruption:  Laws:  The Amnesty Law was passed yesterday. This goes directly in dealing with corruption.  Next week they are working on the Judicial Law.  Prosecution:  UN has stepped in to help with investigation and prosecution of corruption.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Standard & Poor’s sustains ratings on Iraq at ‘B-/B’

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Standard and Poor’s financial services company has affirmed the ratings of Iraq at ‘B-/B’ with stable outlook.

S&P stated that the stable outlook incorporates expectation that the large budget and external deficits could be financed, and the conflict with ISIS will be contained.

Standard & Poor’s also predicted Iraq’s real GDP growth to fall below 2% in 2017-2019 due to the negative effects of fiscal consolidation and weak domestic demand.

RCookie: THIS IS THE NEWLY FAMOUS ARTICLE 14 FROM THE 2016 IMF MEMORANDUM ON ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL POLICIES..THAT WE DISCUSSED ON MOST RECENT CALL….

“14. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the Council of Ministers will approve and introduce to parliament an amendment of the Investment Law, or the CBI will issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction (SB Table 5), as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. As a second step, the CBI will, by the end of 2016, make the weekly limits on the purchase of cash at the weekly foreign currency auctions indicative, in the sense that any bank requiring additional cash for their clients’ legitimate travel expenses will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation. The CBI will make the public aware of such a policy by explaining it through a press conference and on its external website…”

RCookie: AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT LAW……OR…..THE CBI WILL ISSUE CLARIFYING IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS THAT GIVES RISE TO AN EXCHANGE RESTRICTION..AS RECOMMENDED UNDER RECENT IMF TA REVIEW…

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  Getting questions about the 100K and 50K dinar notes…are they going in the wrong direction and will this delay the RV?  No it will not.  The CBI has said they are going to reduce the note count.  They are going to introduce new notes even notes that are worth a tenth of a penny likes yours and mine, the 50K note , the 100K but eventually they are going to introduce the lower notes and these will commingle and both will gain value for about a two year period…and that is what the CBI has said…the 100K notes and the 50K notes is about reducing the note count…This is a not a threat…this is a good thing, a very good thing for us.  …Instead of four 25K notes they only need one 100K note.  That’s going to help them later on down the road…There is no reason AT ALL to introduce the 50K or 100k note if they are not going to revalue the currency and add value to it.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members. May she watch the rest of the Iraq dinar future from the heavens and help our Lord lead others as one of his angels as she did here on earth. RIP dear angel we will all miss you…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [How long do you think they need before the change the value of dinar.]  they are moving FAST… things look good.
______________________________________________________________

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   The last comment from the CBI regarding the 2013 IQD series was that the new 50,000 note “COMPLETED” the 2013 series… The question now is… Does the CBI have a 2016 series ready that include the 3 zeros on the notes…or do they have lower denominations printed… The liberation of Mosul could be the event that lifts off the announcement of currency reform implementation as a security measure to ISIS and the theft of IQD etc… BUT that does not exclude the possibility that Iraq could make the announcement tomorrow or the next day…  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –    Direct words from the CBI to the GOI in several meetings…There will be no currency reform until all provinces are under government control…it was printed in ink in news articles...  That being said, the liberation of Mosul is expected to take place end of September early October.  Ernest and Young are expected to be finishing up with the 2 state banks mid October to end of October…Shabibi had said that the lifting of the zeros must begin at the start of the New Year and not in the middle of a quarter or middle of the year… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  [what do you think is going to happen zebari this week…him being removed…will cause a problem for investment?]   No – I don’t think so… the financial side of this appears to be moving “FULL STEAM AHEAD”…
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  Article: The national coalition led by Iyad Allawi confirmed on Monday (22 August 2016), the dollar exchange rate in the domestic market management is a “window of thieves and corrupt”…and he expressed concern regarding the determination to continue the auction currency policy despite the warnings and recommendations of experts, called for the inclusion of the Central Bank reforms approved by the House of Representatives.  Folks Allawi is calling for the implementation of the currency reforms including the project to delete the zeros and to get out of a “closed economy” and thus stop the  need to convert dinars to USD to pay debts.  This is a recent article and so we can see the pressure continues for currency reform.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    “The World Bank expressed its readiness to support the Iraqi government financial funding without conditions in order to support its reform program which was approved by the House of Representatives …”  it’s reform program...” – already approved by the HoR?  what are they talking about?   [Looks like they know what we don’t.]   that’s exactly what it looks like…and in light of the MoP “printed plan” from 2012/2013…looks like “back to Plan A”…BTW – MoP (Iraq Ministry of Planning) “printed plan” from 2012/2013 = IQD worth 1.13 USD for approx. 3 years…

Reports: secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations to resolve the Justice and Accountability Act

BAGHDAD – Iraq Press –  August announced a senior political source in the National Alliance that secret negotiations conducted by the United Nations with the leaders of the main political blocs to end the dispute regarding the accountability and justice law in preparation for submission to parliament for a vote.

The source added, in a statement to the newspaper (life) that “the talks under the auspices of the United Nations office in Baghdad to end the dispute in some paragraphs of the Accountability Act, which faces strong opposition from a coalition of state law and the Sadrists and the Virtue Party and the Badr Organization, who consider that the law allows for the figures in the party Baath political participation. “…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   …once they step across that “currency threshold” moving towards a “singular currency regime” – the logical solution is for the IQD to be “on par” with the USD (which they are currently using)…you do realize what I just said – RIGHT?  the IQD is widely regarded as “GROSSLY UNDERVALUED”… by noted world economists… for them to move to a “single currency” there needs to be some parity once they do so…they can’t come right out and say what it is they really mean (or convey their true intentions)… but  this is looking inevitable.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    I cannot see how anyone is actually following the financial details of this thing and not be thoroughly EXCITED about where we are (finally!)…One point that gets missed alot – they have signed deals and agreed to remove and adhere to a more “international standard” regarding their internal MCPs… (…”multi-currency practices”)… THIS IS HUGE… MCPs coming to an end…this is a big point in their whole “economic reform package” – it is a complete overhaul… MCPs and currency being only one point of the program…even until recently – they are still (or have been) operating under some odd MCPs. The WB and IMF doesn’t like it…they have agreed to change – are taking direct action and have taken on breath-taking reforms daily…it’s happening before our very eyes…and my final thought is this…    [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Phoenix3333 (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Iraq’s Credit Rating (B- / B) with a stable outlook (Standard & Poor)”   Quote: “Set the credit rating agency Global Standard & Poor ‘s , on Saturday, its credit rating for Iraq when (B- / B) with a stable outlook.  The experts say that this class is very close to the economic reality of Iraq under the circumstances witnessed by the decline in oil prices and the war on « Daesh »terrorist.
______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economist: 2017 investment budget will not be implemented because of the magnitude of the deficit”   Quote:  “It is said that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said he was determined price of $ 35 per barrel of oil within the 2017 budget, noting that the 2017 budget suffers from a large deficit to a lack of oil imports, compared with a rise of employees and retirees salary cap.”   This guy is spot on about the investment side of the budget, its a figment of imagination.  If Iraq pumps 3.5 mbpd at $35 or $40 a barrel, that’s only $50 billion annually, that’s just enough for payroll.  From what I’ve read, the IMF is trying to get rid of this kind of stuff but even with that, there’s nothing left for infrastructure or government owned enterprises, oil won’t cut it anymore.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …Iraq has always stated they want to get down to a billion notes…the last report that I’ve seen they were at 4 billion notes.  Since then they have gotten rid of the 50 dinar note.  80 to 85% of their currency is the 25K note.  They are introducing the 50K note and the 100K note…they haven’t done it yet but if they do that is going to allow them to take a certain amount of 25k notes off the market and it’s going to reduce the note count even more.  Pushing forward there is no bad new here.  People are in panic mode cause it’s complete opposite of what they think.  If you strictly go by the numbers the dinar is a phenomenal opportunity, it hasn’t changed.  How many countries are out there saying they’re going to add value to their currency?  There’s only one.  Not only that but they created a checklist on exactly what they need to do to add value to their currency…they said eventually they were going to reduce the note count and they’ve hit every flip’n mark and people are still blind to it!

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   Vietnam announced on Bloomberg twice now that they are revaluing their currency! Now why would they announce that if their was no plans?  I saw it with my own eyes.  Kinda shocked me actually that they would make that announcement.  I have no idea about the rate just the announcement…remember pre war their currency was valued at 2.22.   [when did they announce this… recently?]  Pretty much the same time Iraq started talking openly about it.  Press Release:  Vietnam: 2016 Article IV Consultation- Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Vietnam   Quote:  “A new government took office in 2016 with a commitment to reforms that, if implemented, would place Vietnam in a sound position to achieve its ambitious development goals.”

______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Why didn’t they RV by Mid-Year?  That’s a good question which no one knows. What we do know is that when the IMF came up with their plan for Iraq last December, they had assumed that Abadi would get his technocrat government and the laws would be passed. Instead, there’s been a seven month delay with the GOI.  Corruption is a top priority.  That’s a political battle since everyone is corrupt. But, there is progress. The CBI isn’t going to RV until corruption got under control.  In addition to getting all seven new Ministers voted in by the GOI, Abadi will next need to get proxy positions properly voted in. That includes the Governor of the CBI position. The First thing a country needs to do after war is RV. Mosul will be liberated in the next few months. The GOI just needs to pass a few more laws and approve a few more positions.  The WB and the IMF are ready with loans to help Iraq through their double crises of ISIS and low oil prices. Basra is doing well economically. IMO, this time around when there is peace, Abadi will RV.  The IMF historically prefers April to RV, or Fall.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO, It was a failed policy to delay the RV last time they had peace and I don’t think they will delay again.  When will the CBI RV?  That question has been asked and answered over the years by both the former CBI Governor and Architect of the Monetary Reform, Dr. Shabibi, and by the proxy Maliki appointed governor Allek. They both said, “when the conditions are right. There needs to be stability and security.”  Where are we at now with security and stability?  Political Stability: After nothing but political conflict the entire 2016, GOI is finally making some progress. They approved five of Abadi’s choice of technocrats Ministers...His choice of Interior Minister is being discussed now, and the remaining two positions should go through within the next month.  Corruption:  Laws:  The Amnesty Law was passed yesterday. This goes directly in dealing with corruption.  Next week they are working on the Judicial Law.  Prosecution:  UN has stepped in to help with investigation and prosecution of corruption.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   IMO Vietnam is hot, hot hot.  I read an article last week from there. If you took the word Vietnam out of the article, you would swear it was from Iraq…Using words…or phrases…like “private sector” “IMF”, “World Bank”.  The announced they are Basel 2 compliant a few weeks ago.

Standard & Poor’s sustains ratings on Iraq at ‘B-/B’

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Standard and Poor’s financial services company has affirmed the ratings of Iraq at ‘B-/B’ with stable outlook.

S&P stated that the stable outlook incorporates expectation that the large budget and external deficits could be financed, and the conflict with ISIS will be contained.

Standard & Poor’s also predicted Iraq’s real GDP growth to fall below 2% in 2017-2019 due to the negative effects of fiscal consolidation and weak domestic demand.

RCookie: THIS IS THE NEWLY FAMOUS ARTICLE 14 FROM THE 2016 IMF MEMORANDUM ON ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL POLICIES..THAT WE DISCUSSED ON MOST RECENT CALL….

“14. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the Council of Ministers will approve and introduce to parliament an amendment of the Investment Law, or the CBI will issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction (SB Table 5), as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. As a second step, the CBI will, by the end of 2016, make the weekly limits on the purchase of cash at the weekly foreign currency auctions indicative, in the sense that any bank requiring additional cash for their clients’ legitimate travel expenses will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation. The CBI will make the public aware of such a policy by explaining it through a press conference and on its external website…”

RCookie: AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT LAW……OR…..THE CBI WILL ISSUE CLARIFYING IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS THAT GIVES RISE TO AN EXCHANGE RESTRICTION..AS RECOMMENDED UNDER RECENT IMF TA REVIEW…
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Transportation signed a contract with a French company for the transfer of cement”  … GENERAL TRANSPORT COMPANY SIGNING BIGGEST CONTRACT IN THE COMPANIES HISTORY WITH FRENCH COMPANY LAFARGE … HMMMMM…IN TODAYS NEWS ALONE…GERMANY…JAPAN WITH TOYOTA…THE FRENCH WITH LAFARGE…KOREA AND US WITH THE NEW 15.5 SQ MILE CITY IN ANBAR…KUWAIT & UAE IN TH NEW KARBALA CITY…THE UK AND IBBC CUED UP IN BASRA AND KURDISTAN… WOW… SURE WOULD BE NICE IF IRAQ COULD GET SOME SIGNS OF CONFIDENCE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT COMMUNITY…   [  🙂  ]
______________________________________________________________

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   …expect a lot of announcements!  BIG ones.  It has already begun. We are watching the reforms take place before our very eyes.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  Getting questions about the 100K and 50K dinar notes…are they going in the wrong direction and will this delay the RV?  No it will not.  The CBI has said they are going to reduce the note count.  They are going to introduce new notes even notes that are worth a tenth of a penny likes yours and mine, the 50K note , the 100K but eventually they are going to introduce the lower notes and these will commingle and both will gain value for about a two year period…and that is what the CBI has said…the 100K notes and the 50K notes is about reducing the note count…This is a not a threat…this is a good thing, a very good thing for us.  …Instead of four 25K notes they only need one 100K note.  That’s going to help them later on down the road…There is no reason AT ALL to introduce the 50K or 100k note if they are not going to revalue the currency and add value to it. 
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO …NO country is as advanced or best prepared to do an RI into an RV of their MR… Than Iraq.  At this present TIME FRAMED … The USA/IMF has ONLY one girl at the Prom right now … Iraq.  There are more Prom’s … Coming.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members. May she watch the rest of the Iraq dinar future from the heavens and help our Lord lead others as one of his angels as she did here on earth. RIP dear angel we will all miss you…

The WB and IMF doesn’t like it…they have agreed to change – are taking direct action and have taken on breath-taking reforms daily…it’s happening before our very eyes…and my final thought is this…    [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economist: 2017 investment budget will not be implemented because of the magnitude of the deficit”   Quote:  “It is said that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, said he was determined price of $ 35 per barrel of oil within the 2017 budget, noting that the 2017 budget suffers from a large deficit to a lack of oil imports, compared with a rise of employees and retirees salary cap.”   This guy is spot on about the investment side of the budget, its a figment of imagination.  If Iraq pumps 3.5 mbpd at $35 or $40 a barrel, that’s only $50 billion annually, that’s just enough for payroll.  From what I’ve read, the IMF is trying to get rid of this kind of stuff but even with that, there’s nothing left for infrastructure or government owned enterprises, oil won’t cut it anymore.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Why didn’t they RV by Mid-Year?  That’s a good question which no one knows. What we do know is that when the IMF came up with their plan for Iraq last December, they had assumed that Abadi would get his technocrat government and the laws would be passed. Instead, there’s been a seven month delay with the GOI.  Corruption is a top priority.  That’s a political battle since everyone is corrupt. But, there is progress. The CBI isn’t going to RV until corruption got under control.  In addition to getting all seven new Ministers voted in by the GOI, Abadi will next need to get proxy positions properly voted in. That includes the Governor of the CBI position. The First thing a country needs to do after war is RV. Mosul will be liberated in the next few months. The GOI just needs to pass a few more laws and approve a few more positions.  The WB and the IMF are ready with loans to help Iraq through their double crises of ISIS and low oil prices. Basra is doing well economically. IMO, this time around when there is peace, Abadi will RV.  The IMF historically prefers April to RV, or Fall.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO, It was a failed policy to delay the RV last time they had peace and I don’t think they will delay again.  When will the CBI RV?  That question has been asked and answered over the years by both the former CBI Governor and Architect of the Monetary Reform, Dr. Shabibi, and by the proxy Maliki appointed governor Allek. They both said, “when the conditions are right. There needs to be stability and security.”  Where are we at now with security and stability?  Political Stability: After nothing but political conflict the entire 2016, GOI is finally making some progress. They approved five of Abadi’s choice of technocrats Ministers...His choice of Interior Minister is being discussed now, and the remaining two positions should go through within the next month.  Corruption:  Laws:  The Amnesty Law was passed yesterday. This goes directly in dealing with corruption.  Next week they are working on the Judicial Law.  Prosecution:  UN has stepped in to help with investigation and prosecution of corruption.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Standard & Poor’s sustains ratings on Iraq at ‘B-/B’

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Standard and Poor’s financial services company has affirmed the ratings of Iraq at ‘B-/B’ with stable outlook.

S&P stated that the stable outlook incorporates expectation that the large budget and external deficits could be financed, and the conflict with ISIS will be contained.

Standard & Poor’s also predicted Iraq’s real GDP growth to fall below 2% in 2017-2019 due to the negative effects of fiscal consolidation and weak domestic demand.

RCookie: THIS IS THE NEWLY FAMOUS ARTICLE 14 FROM THE 2016 IMF MEMORANDUM ON ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL POLICIES..THAT WE DISCUSSED ON MOST RECENT CALL….

“14. The government will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) with a view to eliminating exchange rate distortions. Such a move towards acceptance of the obligations under Article VIII of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate. As a first step, the Council of Ministers will approve and introduce to parliament an amendment of the Investment Law, or the CBI will issue clarifying implementing regulations, to remove the limitation on transfer of investment proceeds that gives rise to an exchange restriction (SB Table 5), as recommended by a recent technical assistance mission of the IMF. As a second step, the CBI will, by the end of 2016, make the weekly limits on the purchase of cash at the weekly foreign currency auctions indicative, in the sense that any bank requiring additional cash for their clients’ legitimate travel expenses will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation. The CBI will make the public aware of such a policy by explaining it through a press conference and on its external website…”

RCookie: AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT LAW……OR…..THE CBI WILL ISSUE CLARIFYING IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF INVESTMENT PROCEEDS THAT GIVES RISE TO AN EXCHANGE RESTRICTION..AS RECOMMENDED UNDER RECENT IMF TA REVIEW…

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   …expect a lot of announcements!  BIG ones.  It has already begun. We are watching the reforms take place before our very eyes.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  Getting questions about the 100K and 50K dinar notes…are they going in the wrong direction and will this delay the RV?  No it will not.  The CBI has said they are going to reduce the note count.  They are going to introduce new notes even notes that are worth a tenth of a penny likes yours and mine, the 50K note , the 100K but eventually they are going to introduce the lower notes and these will commingle and both will gain value for about a two year period…and that is what the CBI has said…the 100K notes and the 50K notes is about reducing the note count…This is a not a threat…this is a good thing, a very good thing for us.  …Instead of four 25K notes they only need one 100K note.  That’s going to help them later on down the road…There is no reason AT ALL to introduce the 50K or 100k note if they are not going to revalue the currency and add value to it.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO …NO country is as advanced or best prepared to do an RI into an RV of their MR… Than Iraq.  At this present TIME FRAMED … The USA/IMF has ONLY one girl at the Prom right now … Iraq.  There are more Prom’s … Coming.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members. May she watch the rest of the Iraq dinar future from the heavens and help our Lord lead others as one of his angels as she did here on earth. RIP dear angel we will all miss you…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    Iraq is on the right path and I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally heard the news of the passing of the Amnesty law. Yes – this law did finally pass in parliament today 8/25. This law is going to make a HUGE, HUGE difference in Iraq.  So next we need to see the Accountability and Justice law, combined along with the Amnesty law these two laws work together to bring the needed justice to Iraq. Also with the new technocratic minister of energy just appointed, he has told us already there is no need for any delay in getting an energy law (HCL) for Iraq as it is now written and only needs to be presented to parliament for a vote. So we should watch for this law too in the coming days…We are now in the third phase of Abadi’s reform plan and many amazing changes have since happened in Iraq. This all moves Iraq to working in an international platform, the only way they will EVER revalue their currency.   …your investment in the Iraqi dinar is real and will soon be exchanged at a higher rate (at a substantial higher rate). Yes – Iraq has postponed the RV many times already and this is real!
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –    I am heartbroken to announce that we have lost yet another dinar member and one of the leaders in the facts concerning the Iraqi dinar, BondLady has passed away unexpectedlyWe have lost one of our most respected leaders in the research of real facts in our journey. It was unfortunate that Bondlady and I had a falling out but I never lost my respect in the fact that she was dedicated in trying to uncover the facts for her members.

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   …we all have heard of the potential for good during the month of September…here’s something that has begun to stick with me not only with today’s articles…but for the past week or two…We are seeing more and more interaction of the alphabet soup with Iraq…from the IMF, the WB, the WTO, the UN, and various and sundry UN committees…they are all so centered…so interested in Iraq right now…like a ringmaster getting ready for the REALLY BIG SHOW…And this doesn’t even touch on the companies and countries that are headed blindly into that intersection…that intersection of Iraq…September will be more exciting than going to a three-ring circus and trying to keep your eyes focused on everything all at one time so you don’t miss anything… simultaneous action…get there early to assure you get a good seat…just don’t sit behind that fat lady in the fat hat.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [I don’t ever recall you giving a month before for a possible RV and you seemed fairly confident about it…do you still feel strongly about your stand?]  YES, I feel very strong about the current outlook!   [They say that Iraq has taken so long to RV because they lack the will to follow through with this undertaking…could it be with all of the Dinar that people outside Iraq hold that they (Iraq) can not afford to cover a high RV rate.] …I disagree that Iraq “lacks the will” to increase the value of the dinar. Iraq is recovering from a major upheaval of their entire country. To expect them to recover “overnight” was foolish – they had a long road to travel in rebuilding their entire world. They have come a LONG way. I am still confident that they will return themselves to a higher position, at whatever expense or effort is necessary.

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   This is the plan.  It has been laid out clearly and logically for well over a year.  We should expect that its implementation (the 50k came out 6 month ago) will continue until the CBI is ready to float the currency in early 2017 or slightly before.  Once that happens the value of the dinar will rise and eventually the 200, 100 and 50 dinar notes will be circulated.  By that time the 50k and 100k notes will have become history.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Once the ball starts rolling and these 25k notes get pulled out then the value of the dinar can be allowed to rise (float).  Until they get those notes out of circulation, however, the value cannot rise and won’t.  If it did then all of the hoarders would become millionaires, which isn’t going to happen.  So it is a process, and the introduction of the large notes is a part of the process to entice the people to give up their 25k notes. The reduction in paper by 2 to 4 times (each 50k removes 2 25k notes and each 100k removes 4 25k notes) will enable the CBI to then reduce the money supply by allowing the VALUE of money to rise.  As it does rise the 100k note will become too valuable to hold in a mattress and people will put them in banks if for no other reason than for safety and security.  Once there they will move to the CBI which will destroy them.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   The reason there is low liquidity in the markets in Iraq is because instead of using their dinars many people are holding them in their mattresses.  Thus the CBI has been forced to raise the money supply, not because it wants to but because the economy would collapse otherwise. The introduction of the 50k and 100k notes is directed to solving this liquidity problem, not by just injecting new cash into the market…so that they can draw out the 25k notes from people’s mattresses.  There is also a stated goal to have bills roughly equivalent to our $50 and $100 notes. If they are successful these new bills will draw out the 25k notes which will be destroyed…  The result will be a reduction in the money supply back to 40 trillion dinars as the article states.   This plan of introducing the larger notes has a goal of stopping the rise in the money supply…It is necessary because the people are not yet confident in using banks.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Abadi: 2017 budget has reached its final stages”  ...if they are indeed handing this over to Parliament… this is warp speed on steroids…the people deserve what is in this budget I believe…IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Money supply is increased or decreased through monetary actions of the CBI (changing reserve requirements, interest rates, etc.).  The bills themselves do not raise the money supply.  They are only carriers of the money supply.  The quote above clearly states that the introduction of the large notes “is not added cash.”  What could be more clear than this statement?  Simply put, you can’t just “add cash” in any case:  someone has to buy the large notes with smaller notes.  It is at worst an even exchange.  At best however, as the quote above clearly states, the smaller notes brought in through the even exchange are “withdrawn” by the CBI, thus either maintaining or LOWERING the money supply rather than increasing it.  This is simple economics:  the money supply doesn’t change by printing notes!  It changes by CBI actions in the monetary markets.  The money itself is only a “carrier”, not a vehicle of change upward in the supply.  In fact, as the CBI burns old notes the money itself can ONLY reduce the money supply, and NEVER increase it.  No one just prints notes and hands them out for free!  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article: “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars, and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”  Kap’s [Guru Kaperoni] quote of the following makes this perfectly clear:  “The new offering is a partial solution to the problem of the Iraqi currency after the CBI dismissed an earlier decision to delete the three zeroes from the local currency and opted to balance the exchange rate of the dinar against foreign currencies in a basket. He states that the new category is not added cash, but rather will facilitate with withdrawal of less value categories and equivalent the size of the presented bank notes. The amount of the currency raised will be nearly 40 trillion dinars which will be at same time put small categories in process and prevent inflation.”  One doesn’t just print 100000 dinar notes and then start passing them out to people.  The notes are brought into circulation ONLY in exchange for other notes.  There is no other way to introduce them, quite frankly.  The increase of money supply has nothing to do with the notes themselves.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “National Coalition calls for reforms in the Central Bank ”   Quote:  “He stressed that the so-called auction currency is “non-existent in countries that rely economy”  Allawi is right, that these auctions don’t exist in countries with a market economy.  That is because these other countries are not stuck in Article XIV trying to prove to the IMF they are ready for Article VIII.  That is why Article XIV is called “transitional” as they are suppose to be working diligently on any and all restrictions that may exist so they can move to Article VIII.  Allawi indirectly is trying to push the banking system forward with his comments asking for the auctions to end.  The CBI has no choice, either get in compliance and succeed in opening the banking system or status quo which is depleting the reserves and keeping investors from coming Iraq.   Changes must come soon.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  I want to throw this out about the note count…these guys who are anti dinar and anti Vietnamese currency…on the Vietnamese currency they CORRECTLY said there’s too much currency in circulation.  That’s true…that’s the whole point.  That’s why we have to watch for them to reduce the note count.  Now with the Iraqi Dinar it’s completely opposite.  They are INCORRECT on reading the DM1 and DM2 interim report.  They need to get out [of dinar] if they think there is that much currency out there…It just happens to be equivalent to the country’s reserves?…There is simply NO reason to reduce the note count if they’re gonna pretend that they’re going to take the zeros off it. …There’s no reason to reduce the note count if they’re NOT going to add value to it.  Why would you do that?   So that’s the game.  If you see any country at all that mention or give out any information that says they’re reducing the note count…I’ll go buy the currency.  doesn’t matter who it is…if they are reducing the note count go buy the currency cause you’re going to make money.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   the CBI has stated on at least a few occasions the intent of the 50k and 100k.  We may not agree with it, but I don’t think we should argue with that explanation…the purpose is to create demand for the dinar and raise nearly 40 trillion dinars.  The 50k note which has been out for 6 months or more has not increased the money supply…compared to this time last year.  In other words, the CBI is doing what it said they would be doing (2-25k=1-50k).   …I do not think this is bad news at all.  In fact, this decision was made over a year ago and stated it was a step towards currency reform.  So, in fact, if it is a step, we are progressing towards our goal.  Don’t lose site that currency reform means raising the value and removing the larger notes.  This is a must for what Iraq needs to do moving forward.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  again to do that [add value to the Dong] the same exact scenario that any country would have to do if they want to add value to their currency…they’re going to have to reduce the note countso there’s no difference between Vietnam, Iraq, United States, Russia…People are predicting that China is going to start sooner or later adding value to their currency…what’s that going to do is open up the door for Vietnam to add value because they can add value and compete against China at the same time….that’s where it’s coming from and again, you know the numbers are coming from the Vietnamese government…that hasn’t changed…what they need to compete on a global scale and to be able to have cheap labor and all that stuff they want to raise the value to about 2 or 3 cents…that’s it…that’s all they need.  In fact if they raise it any higher than that it might ruin the formula that they have to compete in the region so they’re not going to go too high.  [Post 2 of 2]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Tuesday looks like parliamentarian issues are over. Where do we turn our eyes to = next?]  Not exactly – but moving more and more that direction…  [Amnesty and J&A?]  I just don’t agree fully with the “all good – all done” mentality… getting MUCH closer – to be sure…AND it’s not impossible these last few Parliament issues are on a separate track altogether…as in parallel and not interfering with one another… once the IMF and UN has whatever it is they are requiring (and there is something there) they make the next move (we are looking for) toward economic reform…BTW – currency reform is just one more step in the development of Iraq into a global trade partner they are looking for…which they very much appear to be on a fast-track towards.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   Well, a 100,000 dinar note is going in the wrong direction in regards to opening the banking system for international commerce, freedom of movement of capital, achieving IMF Article VIII etc. and perpetuate a market economy. I believe this was discussed at the time of the release of the 50k and the CBI stated their was no need for the 100k.  That being said, if the notes are issued and are meant to reduce the physical notes (4-25k for 1-100k), then it may help draw the dinar out from under the mattresses. This all seems a bit late, since time is not on their side for such a plan anymore. They need to open the banking system, reform the currency and value, and invite international investment and investors to Iraq now. Such a move IMO is risky and unnecessary at this time and would cause further delays.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …it’s not a prediction it’s what we are talking about in Vietnam itself…you know I would never just throw a number out there unless it’s something that the government has talked about or they proposed and they’ve always proposed they wanted to get it [dong] up to two cents…remember they are competing against China and geopolitics…that’s what creates the pace.  At the time when Vietnam talked about that they actually wanted to add a little value to the currency, well because of other politics that were going on in the region, China decided to start devaluing it’s currency and so it forced Vietnam to shelf adding value to the currency.  Well that’s off the table now…it’s not a prediction it’s what Vietnam wants…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [In you opinion could this literally happen any at time as in today…or are there more benchmarks to look for such as lower denoms or critical dates?]  here’s my take…with the recent WB/IMF/UN oversight in Iraq – things are changing rapidly – security, political, economic – these things Maliki should have been working on 8 years ago – they are getting done NOW – at “warp speed”…today – tomorrow?  I doubt it…soon?  [ill take soon.]  Not impossible – but the next however long looks VERY, VERY promising…
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [It seems like so many things like Mosul , corruption , parliament , etc. are coming together … many have said things.will happen all at once … do you see this as a coincidence?]  I do not see those items as coincidence… THESE ITEMS ARE THE STORY. IMHO. Not getting into date and rate here – I’m just saying – the progress is stunning AND… it surely leads to the step we are all interested in…the point of currency reform the includes a change in the value of the IQDHowever, I make this point again…currency reform – value change…what we are after…is just one of the steps they will likely take in the whole process of economic reform and full reintegration with the world’s financial systemsthis whole process is playing out PLAINLY – before our VERY EYES…Things are VERY, VERY exciting lately.
______________________________________________________________

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   I think things are extremely positive…Now we watch Mosul return to being free followed by controlling the borders, then watch Iraq explode economically and globally. Sit back and let it come to you, and it surely will when they are ready. I think they are ready or almost ready.  Remember, if I thought there was even a slight chance of this not happening I would simply…move on. Good times ahead!

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Front reform: we will vote unanimously to dismiss Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi”   Quote:   “MP for the Reform Front, Mohammed Chihod, on Friday, that the Front will vote on the dismissal of Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi, a unanimous vote after no conviction Bojobth.”   For sure, there are two groups vying for control of Iraq right now, those who want to maintain the status quo and the other wants change. So far we’re at a stalemate, especially now that Tariq Harb is saying Mahmood can’t be forced out, but hopefully the good guys come out on top.  The judiciary is going to be even more important pretty soon, the investigative teams and UN can find all the evidence against the corrupt but in the end, Iraq needs a functioning judiciary to charge, prosecute and imprison those who are guilty. Right now, with Mahmood in, they don’t have that. IMO.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “…the US panel competent to combat financial intelligence department personnel discovered 300 banking company and money transfer and 6 suspicious Iraqi banks operate offense laundering financial aid, noting that the committee has reached Baghdad…”  IMO, time is of the essence to activate the banking system.  That being said, this committee is there to clean up the mess so reforms can proceed.

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economic parliamentary: the decision to adopt $ 35 for a barrel of oil in the budget of 2016 is a given right”  Quote:   “…the government consulted with the International Monetary Fund and made a decision to reduce the price of oil per barrel in the 2016 budget from 45 to $ 35 for control of the state requirements, as the 2016 budget of 105 trillion dinars reduced to 90 trillion dinars to control the deficit.”   What I find encouraging about this article is the fact that they are seeking consultation from the IMF with what to do regarding their budget…lean on the knowledge of others who run far bigger entities in the world.

Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO.   [post 2 of 2]

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher.  If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [do you think that there is any chance that once the RV is started  that they will try to “cheat us” out of a fair share of the RV?]   Nope. I understand your concern and where you are coming from, but it would be “RV Suicide” to try to steal from those that they need to support them. Basically, you’re alluding to an “in country” RV. I don’t have any fears of that happening.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  …They’ve kind of accelerated what it is they want to do.  That’s why you’re seeing a lot of articles coming out talking about retiring notes and stuff like that.  It’s not the CBI itself.  Remember how I follow the laws of Iraq.  It’s the parliament, the ministry of Planning, the ministry of Finance and then the CBI…if you have those 4 talking about it in THAT order then it means something.  What are the numbers.  Who’s passing the law…that’s what I want to know.  The CBI said they were going to add value to the currency.  The ministry of planning said they were going to add value to their currency.  The minister of Finance said we are going to add value to the currency.  Parliament said we are going to add value to the currency.  The IMF is on board so Iraq can add value to their currency…If you don’t understand this part of it, it’s tough to follow.  How do you do it?  The numbers are there.  It’s not an opinion.  [Post 2 of 2]

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   This is the plan.  It has been laid out clearly and logically for well over a year.  We should expect that its implementation (the 50k came out 6 month ago) will continue until the CBI is ready to float the currency in early 2017 or slightly before.  Once that happens the value of the dinar will rise and eventually the 200, 100 and 50 dinar notes will be circulated.  By that time the 50k and 100k notes will have become history.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Once the ball starts rolling and these 25k notes get pulled out then the value of the dinar can be allowed to rise (float).  Until they get those notes out of circulation, however, the value cannot rise and won’t.  If it did then all of the hoarders would become millionaires, which isn’t going to happen.  So it is a process, and the introduction of the large notes is a part of the process to entice the people to give up their 25k notes. The reduction in paper by 2 to 4 times (each 50k removes 2 25k notes and each 100k removes 4 25k notes) will enable the CBI to then reduce the money supply by allowing the VALUE of money to rise.  As it does rise the 100k note will become too valuable to hold in a mattress and people will put them in banks if for no other reason than for safety and security.  Once there they will move to the CBI which will destroy them.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   The reason there is low liquidity in the markets in Iraq is because instead of using their dinars many people are holding them in their mattresses.  Thus the CBI has been forced to raise the money supply, not because it wants to but because the economy would collapse otherwise. The introduction of the 50k and 100k notes is directed to solving this liquidity problem, not by just injecting new cash into the market…so that they can draw out the 25k notes from people’s mattresses.  There is also a stated goal to have bills roughly equivalent to our $50 and $100 notes. If they are successful these new bills will draw out the 25k notes which will be destroyed…  The result will be a reduction in the money supply back to 40 trillion dinars as the article states.   This plan of introducing the larger notes has a goal of stopping the rise in the money supply…It is necessary because the people are not yet confident in using banks.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Abadi: 2017 budget has reached its final stages”  ...if they are indeed handing this over to Parliament… this is warp speed on steroids…the people deserve what is in this budget I believe…IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Money supply is increased or decreased through monetary actions of the CBI (changing reserve requirements, interest rates, etc.).  The bills themselves do not raise the money supply.  They are only carriers of the money supply.  The quote above clearly states that the introduction of the large notes “is not added cash.”  What could be more clear than this statement?  Simply put, you can’t just “add cash” in any case:  someone has to buy the large notes with smaller notes.  It is at worst an even exchange.  At best however, as the quote above clearly states, the smaller notes brought in through the even exchange are “withdrawn” by the CBI, thus either maintaining or LOWERING the money supply rather than increasing it.  This is simple economics:  the money supply doesn’t change by printing notes!  It changes by CBI actions in the monetary markets.  The money itself is only a “carrier”, not a vehicle of change upward in the supply.  In fact, as the CBI burns old notes the money itself can ONLY reduce the money supply, and NEVER increase it.  No one just prints notes and hands them out for free!  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article: “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars, and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”  Kap’s [Guru Kaperoni] quote of the following makes this perfectly clear:  “The new offering is a partial solution to the problem of the Iraqi currency after the CBI dismissed an earlier decision to delete the three zeroes from the local currency and opted to balance the exchange rate of the dinar against foreign currencies in a basket. He states that the new category is not added cash, but rather will facilitate with withdrawal of less value categories and equivalent the size of the presented bank notes. The amount of the currency raised will be nearly 40 trillion dinars which will be at same time put small categories in process and prevent inflation.”  One doesn’t just print 100000 dinar notes and then start passing them out to people.  The notes are brought into circulation ONLY in exchange for other notes.  There is no other way to introduce them, quite frankly.  The increase of money supply has nothing to do with the notes themselves.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “National Coalition calls for reforms in the Central Bank ”   Quote:  “He stressed that the so-called auction currency is “non-existent in countries that rely economy”  Allawi is right, that these auctions don’t exist in countries with a market economy.  That is because these other countries are not stuck in Article XIV trying to prove to the IMF they are ready for Article VIII.  That is why Article XIV is called “transitional” as they are suppose to be working diligently on any and all restrictions that may exist so they can move to Article VIII.  Allawi indirectly is trying to push the banking system forward with his comments asking for the auctions to end.  The CBI has no choice, either get in compliance and succeed in opening the banking system or status quo which is depleting the reserves and keeping investors from coming Iraq.   Changes must come soon.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  I want to throw this out about the note count…these guys who are anti dinar and anti Vietnamese currency…on the Vietnamese currency they CORRECTLY said there’s too much currency in circulation.  That’s true…that’s the whole point.  That’s why we have to watch for them to reduce the note count.  Now with the Iraqi Dinar it’s completely opposite.  They are INCORRECT on reading the DM1 and DM2 interim report.  They need to get out [of dinar] if they think there is that much currency out there…It just happens to be equivalent to the country’s reserves?…There is simply NO reason to reduce the note count if they’re gonna pretend that they’re going to take the zeros off it. …There’s no reason to reduce the note count if they’re NOT going to add value to it.  Why would you do that?   So that’s the game.  If you see any country at all that mention or give out any information that says they’re reducing the note count…I’ll go buy the currency.  doesn’t matter who it is…if they are reducing the note count go buy the currency cause you’re going to make money.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   [are they voting on amnesty law tue 23 aug?]  YES…AND THE DEBAATHIFICATION LAW AND A PLETHORA OF OTHERS ACCORDING TO THEIR AGENDA…
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   the CBI has stated on at least a few occasions the intent of the 50k and 100k.  We may not agree with it, but I don’t think we should argue with that explanation…the purpose is to create demand for the dinar and raise nearly 40 trillion dinars.  The 50k note which has been out for 6 months or more has not increased the money supply…compared to this time last year.  In other words, the CBI is doing what it said they would be doing (2-25k=1-50k).   …I do not think this is bad news at all.  In fact, this decision was made over a year ago and stated it was a step towards currency reform.  So, in fact, if it is a step, we are progressing towards our goal.  Don’t lose site that currency reform means raising the value and removing the larger notes.  This is a must for what Iraq needs to do moving forward.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  again to do that [add value to the Dong] the same exact scenario that any country would have to do if they want to add value to their currency…they’re going to have to reduce the note countso there’s no difference between Vietnam, Iraq, United States, Russia…People are predicting that China is going to start sooner or later adding value to their currency…what’s that going to do is open up the door for Vietnam to add value because they can add value and compete against China at the same time….that’s where it’s coming from and again, you know the numbers are coming from the Vietnamese government…that hasn’t changed…what they need to compete on a global scale and to be able to have cheap labor and all that stuff they want to raise the value to about 2 or 3 cents…that’s it…that’s all they need.  In fact if they raise it any higher than that it might ruin the formula that they have to compete in the region so they’re not going to go too high.  [Post 2 of 2]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Tuesday looks like parliamentarian issues are over. Where do we turn our eyes to = next?]  Not exactly – but moving more and more that direction…  [Amnesty and J&A?]  I just don’t agree fully with the “all good – all done” mentality… getting MUCH closer – to be sure…AND it’s not impossible these last few Parliament issues are on a separate track altogether…as in parallel and not interfering with one another… once the IMF and UN has whatever it is they are requiring (and there is something there) they make the next move (we are looking for) toward economic reform…BTW – currency reform is just one more step in the development of Iraq into a global trade partner they are looking for…which they very much appear to be on a fast-track towards.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   Well, a 100,000 dinar note is going in the wrong direction in regards to opening the banking system for international commerce, freedom of movement of capital, achieving IMF Article VIII etc. and perpetuate a market economy. I believe this was discussed at the time of the release of the 50k and the CBI stated their was no need for the 100k.  That being said, if the notes are issued and are meant to reduce the physical notes (4-25k for 1-100k), then it may help draw the dinar out from under the mattresses. This all seems a bit late, since time is not on their side for such a plan anymore. They need to open the banking system, reform the currency and value, and invite international investment and investors to Iraq now. Such a move IMO is risky and unnecessary at this time and would cause further delays.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …it’s not a prediction it’s what we are talking about in Vietnam itself…you know I would never just throw a number out there unless it’s something that the government has talked about or they proposed and they’ve always proposed they wanted to get it [dong] up to two cents…remember they are competing against China and geopolitics…that’s what creates the pace.  At the time when Vietnam talked about that they actually wanted to add a little value to the currency, well because of other politics that were going on in the region, China decided to start devaluing it’s currency and so it forced Vietnam to shelf adding value to the currency.  Well that’s off the table now…it’s not a prediction it’s what Vietnam wants…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [In you opinion could this literally happen any at time as in today…or are there more benchmarks to look for such as lower denoms or critical dates?]  here’s my take…with the recent WB/IMF/UN oversight in Iraq – things are changing rapidly – security, political, economic – these things Maliki should have been working on 8 years ago – they are getting done NOW – at “warp speed”…today – tomorrow?  I doubt it…soon?  [ill take soon.]  Not impossible – but the next however long looks VERY, VERY promising…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [It seems like so many things like Mosul , corruption , parliament , etc. are coming together … many have said things.will happen all at once … do you see this as a coincidence?]  I do not see those items as coincidence… THESE ITEMS ARE THE STORY. IMHO. Not getting into date and rate here – I’m just saying – the progress is stunning AND… it surely leads to the step we are all interested in…the point of currency reform the includes a change in the value of the IQDHowever, I make this point again…currency reform – value change…what we are after…is just one of the steps they will likely take in the whole process of economic reform and full reintegration with the world’s financial systemsthis whole process is playing out PLAINLY – before our VERY EYES…Things are VERY, VERY exciting lately.
______________________________________________________________

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   I think things are extremely positive…Now we watch Mosul return to being free followed by controlling the borders, then watch Iraq explode economically and globally. Sit back and let it come to you, and it surely will when they are ready. I think they are ready or almost ready.  Remember, if I thought there was even a slight chance of this not happening I would simply…move on. Good times ahead!

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO…Ernest and Young are to be close to finishing setting up the 2 state banks near End of October… October is when the WB and IMF funds are scheduled to be released to Iraq… October is when we will see the liberation of Mosul… Basically…The CBI will have 60 days to the first of the year to introduce and educate citizens on the lower denoms… WE should begin to hear tons of chatter on the subject mid to late September.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [lots of news…just cant believe how much has been going on in Iraq!]  I can’t believe it either.  In fact, one has to wonder when that “tipping point” is…when so much is done, so much is accomplished, their economy is in such a state the “grossly undervalued” price of the Dinar is doing them considerable economic harm…there was a time the currency imbalance worked for them – however, I think they are nearing this place where they would like it to be “upped”…The flip side of Iraq wanting their currency “upped” – is they aren’t the ones with the ultimate say…which brings us back to the IMF/UN being in such critical advisory roles. Iraq’s GOI has BEEN ON FIRE to get their democracy righted since January… what changed? IMF/UN oversight… there has to be some carrot…

Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO.   [post 2 of 2]

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “National Coalition calls for reforms in the Central Bank ”   Quote:  “He stressed that the so-called auction currency is “non-existent in countries that rely economy”  Allawi is right, that these auctions don’t exist in countries with a market economy.  That is because these other countries are not stuck in Article XIV trying to prove to the IMF they are ready for Article VIII.  That is why Article XIV is called “transitional” as they are suppose to be working diligently on any and all restrictions that may exist so they can move to Article VIII.  Allawi indirectly is trying to push the banking system forward with his comments asking for the auctions to end.  The CBI has no choice, either get in compliance and succeed in opening the banking system or status quo which is depleting the reserves and keeping investors from coming Iraq.   Changes must come soon.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  I want to throw this out about the note count…these guys who are anti dinar and anti Vietnamese currency…on the Vietnamese currency they CORRECTLY said there’s too much currency in circulation.  That’s true…that’s the whole point.  That’s why we have to watch for them to reduce the note count.  Now with the Iraqi Dinar it’s completely opposite.  They are INCORRECT on reading the DM1 and DM2 interim report.  They need to get out [of dinar] if they think there is that much currency out there…It just happens to be equivalent to the country’s reserves?…There is simply NO reason to reduce the note count if they’re gonna pretend that they’re going to take the zeros off it. …There’s no reason to reduce the note count if they’re NOT going to add value to it.  Why would you do that?   So that’s the game.  If you see any country at all that mention or give out any information that says they’re reducing the note count…I’ll go buy the currency.  doesn’t matter who it is…if they are reducing the note count go buy the currency cause you’re going to make money.

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:   “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   the CBI has stated on at least a few occasions the intent of the 50k and 100k.  We may not agree with it, but I don’t think we should argue with that explanation…the purpose is to create demand for the dinar and raise nearly 40 trillion dinars.  The 50k note which has been out for 6 months or more has not increased the money supply…compared to this time last year.  In other words, the CBI is doing what it said they would be doing (2-25k=1-50k).   …I do not think this is bad news at all.  In fact, this decision was made over a year ago and stated it was a step towards currency reform.  So, in fact, if it is a step, we are progressing towards our goal.  Don’t lose site that currency reform means raising the value and removing the larger notes.  This is a must for what Iraq needs to do moving forward.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Tuesday looks like parliamentarian issues are over. Where do we turn our eyes to = next?]  Not exactly – but moving more and more that direction…  [Amnesty and J&A?]  I just don’t agree fully with the “all good – all done” mentality… getting MUCH closer – to be sure…AND it’s not impossible these last few Parliament issues are on a separate track altogether…as in parallel and not interfering with one another… once the IMF and UN has whatever it is they are requiring (and there is something there) they make the next move (we are looking for) toward economic reform…BTW – currency reform is just one more step in the development of Iraq into a global trade partner they are looking for…which they very much appear to be on a fast-track towards.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   Well, a 100,000 dinar note is going in the wrong direction in regards to opening the banking system for international commerce, freedom of movement of capital, achieving IMF Article VIII etc. and perpetuate a market economy. I believe this was discussed at the time of the release of the 50k and the CBI stated their was no need for the 100k.  That being said, if the notes are issued and are meant to reduce the physical notes (4-25k for 1-100k), then it may help draw the dinar out from under the mattresses. This all seems a bit late, since time is not on their side for such a plan anymore. They need to open the banking system, reform the currency and value, and invite international investment and investors to Iraq now. Such a move IMO is risky and unnecessary at this time and would cause further delays.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …it’s not a prediction it’s what we are talking about in Vietnam itself…you know I would never just throw a number out there unless it’s something that the government has talked about or they proposed and they’ve always proposed they wanted to get it [dong] up to two cents…remember they are competing against China and geopolitics…that’s what creates the pace.  At the time when Vietnam talked about that they actually wanted to add a little value to the currency, well because of other politics that were going on in the region, China decided to start devaluing it’s currency and so it forced Vietnam to shelf adding value to the currency.  Well that’s off the table now…it’s not a prediction it’s what Vietnam wants…

IMHO. Not getting into date and rate here – I’m just saying – the progress is stunning AND… it surely leads to the step we are all interested in…the point of currency reform the includes a change in the value of the IQDHowever, I make this point again…currency reform – value change…what we are after…is just one of the steps they will likely take in the whole process of economic reform and full reintegration with the world’s financial systemsthis whole process is playing out PLAINLY – before our VERY EYES…Things are VERY, VERY exciting lately.
______________________________________________________________

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   I think things are extremely positive…Now we watch Mosul return to being free followed by controlling the borders, then watch Iraq explode economically and globally. Sit back and let it come to you, and it surely will when they are ready. I think they are ready or almost ready.  Remember, if I thought there was even a slight chance of this not happening I would simply…move on. Good times ahead!

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Front reform: we will vote unanimously to dismiss Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi”   Quote:   “MP for the Reform Front, Mohammed Chihod, on Friday, that the Front will vote on the dismissal of Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi, a unanimous vote after no conviction Bojobth.”   For sure, there are two groups vying for control of Iraq right now, those who want to maintain the status quo and the other wants change. So far we’re at a stalemate, especially now that Tariq Harb is saying Mahmood can’t be forced out, but hopefully the good guys come out on top.  The judiciary is going to be even more important pretty soon, the investigative teams and UN can find all the evidence against the corrupt but in the end, Iraq needs a functioning judiciary to charge, prosecute and imprison those who are guilty. Right now, with Mahmood in, they don’t have that. IMO.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –  Article: “we seek to secure financial alternatives for the sustainability of the services”    yep…we don’t want Iraq to get even a lil bit comfortable with oil prices inching up. They need a permanent contingency plan for now and the future to be able to generate income away from oil!
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Iraq: 21 international investigators to examine the prime ministers of corruption files”   Quote:  “the 21 international investigators will arrive in Baghdad at the end of this month to start an investigation into financial corruption files, based on a memorandum of understanding signed by the Iraqi government with the United Nations last week...”    SO…ANYONE IN NEED OF ANSWERING THE SOMETIMES RHETORICAL QUESTION AS TO WHY MALIKI AND SOME OF THE WHALES RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MUCH THEFT…CORRUPTION AND DAMAGE TO IRAQ & ITS PEOPLE ARE STILL WALKING AROUND AND NOT YET BROUGHT TO JUSTICE….HERE IS YOUR ANSWER…JUSTICE SOON AWAITS…THE CHARGES AWAITING MALIKI ALONE ARE OVER 4 PAGES LONG… THIS IS HUGE…HUGE…ABADI IS A GENIUS…
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    […I would think to pay foreign contractors their would need to be some sort of rate established.]  THERE DOES…AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY THE IMF TASKED THEM TO OVERHAUL THEIR CREDIT REGISTRY AND RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESSESNEED TO BE READY FOR THE INVESTMENT WHALES.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “…the US panel competent to combat financial intelligence department personnel discovered 300 banking company and money transfer and 6 suspicious Iraqi banks operate offense laundering financial aid, noting that the committee has reached Baghdad…”  IMO, time is of the essence to activate the banking system.  That being said, this committee is there to clean up the mess so reforms can proceed.
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economic parliamentary: the decision to adopt $ 35 for a barrel of oil in the budget of 2016 is a given right”  Quote:   “…the government consulted with the International Monetary Fund and made a decision to reduce the price of oil per barrel in the 2016 budget from 45 to $ 35 for control of the state requirements, as the 2016 budget of 105 trillion dinars reduced to 90 trillion dinars to control the deficit.”   What I find encouraging about this article is the fact that they are seeking consultation from the IMF with what to do regarding their budget…lean on the knowledge of others who run far bigger entities in the world.
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Parliament went to resolve points of contention in the Justice and Accountability Law Tuesday” A & J LAW VOTE ON TUESDAY [&] THE GENERAL AMNESTY LAW…LOOKS LIKE BOTH WILL BE VOTED ON TUESDAY THE 23RD..THE 2 BIGGEST LAWS OF NATIONAL UNITY & RECONCILIATION… 2 FOR THE PRICE OF 1 AND THEY ARE HUGE…VERY IMPORTANT.
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   ...IRAQ IS GOING TO HAVE AN INVESTMENT SERVICES COMPLEX TO ACCESS AND UNDERSTAND THE SERVICES OFFERED TO INVESTORS INCLUDING INTEGRATED SERVICES ACCESS TO GOV’T AGENCIES IN ONE PLACE…1 STOP SHOPPING AND INVESTOR SERVICES ACCESS!…THAT IS AWESOME!!
______________________________________________________________

firefly (Dinar Guru) –    Article quote:  “He predicted the financial advisor to the Prime Minister that “the budget deficit in 2017 up to about $ 18 billion,”  stressing that “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.”   Now this is Saleh talking!  Abadi’s Financial advisor.  This is worth repeating:  “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.”  Remember, the IMF’s role is preparations for countries through Article IV meetings.   …we are watching the play in the front row seats!

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO…Ernest and Young are to be close to finishing setting up the 2 state banks near End of October… October is when the WB and IMF funds are scheduled to be released to Iraq… October is when we will see the liberation of Mosul… Basically…The CBI will have 60 days to the first of the year to introduce and educate citizens on the lower denoms… WE should begin to hear tons of chatter on the subject mid to late September.
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   …THE REAL TELLING NUMBER IN THE RELEASED 2017 BUDGET DATA…FOR THE FIRST TIME THEIR GDP IS UNDER 90% OIL RELIANT REVENUES…THAT MEANS THEIR NON OIL REVENUE STREAMS LIKE CUSTOMS TARIFFS…ELECTRICITY & TELECOMMUNICATION TAXES…NATURAL GAS…LNG AND CONDENSATE AND OTHER EXPORT PRODUCTS ARE MAKING IRAQ LESS OIL RELIANT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN…AND THE DIRECTION THE 3 LETTER AGENCIES WANT TO SEE THEM GO…
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [lots of news…just cant believe how much has been going on in Iraq!]  I can’t believe it either.  In fact, one has to wonder when that “tipping point” is…when so much is done, so much is accomplished, their economy is in such a state the “grossly undervalued” price of the Dinar is doing them considerable economic harm…there was a time the currency imbalance worked for them – however, I think they are nearing this place where they would like it to be “upped”…The flip side of Iraq wanting their currency “upped” – is they aren’t the ones with the ultimate say…which brings us back to the IMF/UN being in such critical advisory roles. Iraq’s GOI has BEEN ON FIRE to get their democracy righted since January… what changed? IMF/UN oversight… there has to be some carrot…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   the Financial Committee met two days ago with the CBI…It is important…that you understand that this meeting…IOO was…the very first time…the Finance Committee actually met with the CBI…and they talked about the IQD…their currency…their currency’s true rate…and about the exchange rate about their currency… Abadi said the new budget is going to reflect the lifting of the 000’s from our exchange rate.  …so…are you guys done?   …CBI…we’ve been ready for a long time…we’ve been waiting for security…we’ve been waiting for terrorism to go away…we’ve been waiting for corruption to go away within us and the GOI…I think we are ready…Dr. Shabibi said that the next budget will reflect the new numbers of these meetings….I don’t know what the rate will be…I don’t even know when they are going to do this…but I do know that these are the things they are saying to us.   [post 3 of 3]

mike (Dinar Guru) –    ...they’ll get this open market economy up and running and the country will prosper or they won’t and in a short time they won’t be able to make payroll for the 4 million plus state employees and then all hell is going to break loose. They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and I’m hoping this applies to Iraq as well. Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Until Iraq develops the political will for change, things will be the same two years from now as well…here’s the thing, they can’t afford to continue the way they’ve always done things. The financial crutch and foundation for this corrupt nation has all but evaporated. Oil will not save the day for Iraq and it’s corrupt leadership anymore. The reserves, or the nation’s safety net, is eroding at an alarming rate and in a short time there won’t be enough money to borrow to keep this country afloat.  Two things will happen in Iraq… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

I’m not going to name dates. I’m not going to name days.  I’m excited about how close we are.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher.  If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  …They’ve kind of accelerated what it is they want to do.  That’s why you’re seeing a lot of articles coming out talking about retiring notes and stuff like that.  It’s not the CBI itself.  Remember how I follow the laws of Iraq.  It’s the parliament, the ministry of Planning, the ministry of Finance and then the CBI…if you have those 4 talking about it in THAT order then it means something.  What are the numbers.  Who’s passing the law…that’s what I want to know.  The CBI said they were going to add value to the currency.  The ministry of planning said they were going to add value to their currency.  The minister of Finance said we are going to add value to the currency.  Parliament said we are going to add value to the currency.  The IMF is on board so Iraq can add value to their currency…If you don’t understand this part of it, it’s tough to follow.  How do you do it?  The numbers are there.  It’s not an opinion.  [Post 2 of 2]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Tuesday looks like parliamentarian issues are over. Where do we turn our eyes to = next?]  Not exactly – but moving more and more that direction…  [Amnesty and J&A?]  I just don’t agree fully with the “all good – all done” mentality… getting MUCH closer – to be sure…AND it’s not impossible these last few Parliament issues are on a separate track altogether…as in parallel and not interfering with one another… once the IMF and UN has whatever it is they are requiring (and there is something there) they make the next move (we are looking for) toward economic reform…BTW – currency reform is just one more step in the development of Iraq into a global trade partner they are looking for…which they very much appear to be on a fast-track towards.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Print category 100 000 dinars , and we are waiting for official approval lowered into the market”   Well, a 100,000 dinar note is going in the wrong direction in regards to opening the banking system for international commerce, freedom of movement of capital, achieving IMF Article VIII etc. and perpetuate a market economy. I believe this was discussed at the time of the release of the 50k and the CBI stated their was no need for the 100k.  That being said, if the notes are issued and are meant to reduce the physical notes (4-25k for 1-100k), then it may help draw the dinar out from under the mattresses. This all seems a bit late, since time is not on their side for such a plan anymore. They need to open the banking system, reform the currency and value, and invite international investment and investors to Iraq now. Such a move IMO is risky and unnecessary at this time and would cause further delays.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …it’s not a prediction it’s what we are talking about in Vietnam itself…you know I would never just throw a number out there unless it’s something that the government has talked about or they proposed and they’ve always proposed they wanted to get it [dong] up to two cents…remember they are competing against China and geopolitics…that’s what creates the pace.  At the time when Vietnam talked about that they actually wanted to add a little value to the currency, well because of other politics that were going on in the region, China decided to start devaluing it’s currency and so it forced Vietnam to shelf adding value to the currency.  Well that’s off the table now…it’s not a prediction it’s what Vietnam wants…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [In you opinion could this literally happen any at time as in today…or are there more benchmarks to look for such as lower denoms or critical dates?]  here’s my take…with the recent WB/IMF/UN oversight in Iraq – things are changing rapidly – security, political, economic – these things Maliki should have been working on 8 years ago – they are getting done NOW – at “warp speed”…today – tomorrow?  I doubt it…soon?  [ill take soon.]  Not impossible – but the next however long looks VERY, VERY promising…
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [It seems like so many things like Mosul , corruption , parliament , etc. are coming together … many have said things.will happen all at once … do you see this as a coincidence?]  I do not see those items as coincidence… THESE ITEMS ARE THE STORY. IMHO. Not getting into date and rate here – I’m just saying – the progress is stunning AND… it surely leads to the step we are all interested in…the point of currency reform the includes a change in the value of the IQDHowever, I make this point again…currency reform – value change…what we are after…is just one of the steps they will likely take in the whole process of economic reform and full reintegration with the world’s financial systemsthis whole process is playing out PLAINLY – before our VERY EYES…Things are VERY, VERY exciting lately.
______________________________________________________________

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   I think things are extremely positive…Now we watch Mosul return to being free followed by controlling the borders, then watch Iraq explode economically and globally. Sit back and let it come to you, and it surely will when they are ready. I think they are ready or almost ready.  Remember, if I thought there was even a slight chance of this not happening I would simply…move on. Good times ahead!

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Front reform: we will vote unanimously to dismiss Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi”   Quote:   “MP for the Reform Front, Mohammed Chihod, on Friday, that the Front will vote on the dismissal of Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi, a unanimous vote after no conviction Bojobth.”   For sure, there are two groups vying for control of Iraq right now, those who want to maintain the status quo and the other wants change. So far we’re at a stalemate, especially now that Tariq Harb is saying Mahmood can’t be forced out, but hopefully the good guys come out on top.  The judiciary is going to be even more important pretty soon, the investigative teams and UN can find all the evidence against the corrupt but in the end, Iraq needs a functioning judiciary to charge, prosecute and imprison those who are guilty. Right now, with Mahmood in, they don’t have that. IMO.

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –  Article: “we seek to secure financial alternatives for the sustainability of the services”    yep…we don’t want Iraq to get even a lil bit comfortable with oil prices inching up. They need a permanent contingency plan for now and the future to be able to generate income away from oil!

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “…the US panel competent to combat financial intelligence department personnel discovered 300 banking company and money transfer and 6 suspicious Iraqi banks operate offense laundering financial aid, noting that the committee has reached Baghdad…”  IMO, time is of the essence to activate the banking system.  That being said, this committee is there to clean up the mess so reforms can proceed.

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Economic parliamentary: the decision to adopt $ 35 for a barrel of oil in the budget of 2016 is a given right”  Quote:   “…the government consulted with the International Monetary Fund and made a decision to reduce the price of oil per barrel in the 2016 budget from 45 to $ 35 for control of the state requirements, as the 2016 budget of 105 trillion dinars reduced to 90 trillion dinars to control the deficit.”   What I find encouraging about this article is the fact that they are seeking consultation from the IMF with what to do regarding their budget…lean on the knowledge of others who run far bigger entities in the world.

firefly (Dinar Guru) –    Article quote:  “He predicted the financial advisor to the Prime Minister that “the budget deficit in 2017 up to about $ 18 billion,”  stressing that “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.”   Now this is Saleh talking!  Abadi’s Financial advisor.  This is worth repeating:  “the budget was drawn according to what has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund.”  Remember, the IMF’s role is preparations for countries through Article IV meetings.   …we are watching the play in the front row seats!

tman23 (Dinar Guru) –   IMO…Ernest and Young are to be close to finishing setting up the 2 state banks near End of October… October is when the WB and IMF funds are scheduled to be released to Iraq… October is when we will see the liberation of Mosul… Basically…The CBI will have 60 days to the first of the year to introduce and educate citizens on the lower denoms… WE should begin to hear tons of chatter on the subject mid to late September.
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   …THE REAL TELLING NUMBER IN THE RELEASED 2017 BUDGET DATA…FOR THE FIRST TIME THEIR GDP IS UNDER 90% OIL RELIANT REVENUES…THAT MEANS THEIR NON OIL REVENUE STREAMS LIKE CUSTOMS TARIFFS…ELECTRICITY & TELECOMMUNICATION TAXES…NATURAL GAS…LNG AND CONDENSATE AND OTHER EXPORT PRODUCTS ARE MAKING IRAQ LESS OIL RELIANT THAN THEY HAVE EVER BEEN…AND THE DIRECTION THE 3 LETTER AGENCIES WANT TO SEE THEM GO…
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [lots of news…just cant believe how much has been going on in Iraq!]  I can’t believe it either.  In fact, one has to wonder when that “tipping point” is…when so much is done, so much is accomplished, their economy is in such a state the “grossly undervalued” price of the Dinar is doing them considerable economic harm…there was a time the currency imbalance worked for them – however, I think they are nearing this place where they would like it to be “upped”…The flip side of Iraq wanting their currency “upped” – is they aren’t the ones with the ultimate say…which brings us back to the IMF/UN being in such critical advisory roles. Iraq’s GOI has BEEN ON FIRE to get their democracy righted since January… what changed? IMF/UN oversight… there has to be some carrot…

mike (Dinar Guru) –    ...they’ll get this open market economy up and running and the country will prosper or they won’t and in a short time they won’t be able to make payroll for the 4 million plus state employees and then all hell is going to break loose. They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and I’m hoping this applies to Iraq as well. Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Until Iraq develops the political will for change, things will be the same two years from now as well…here’s the thing, they can’t afford to continue the way they’ve always done things. The financial crutch and foundation for this corrupt nation has all but evaporated. Oil will not save the day for Iraq and it’s corrupt leadership anymore. The reserves, or the nation’s safety net, is eroding at an alarming rate and in a short time there won’t be enough money to borrow to keep this country afloat.  Two things will happen in Iraq… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Three …of the parts have been passed and gone through and are in the Gazette.  There may be two more aspects to it that might…go through the weekend. We don’t believe that these two aspects of the Amnesty Law…will hold anything up or is something that we’re waiting to have happen.   I will say this, looking at this thing from my perspective; it appears we are coming down to the wire.  It appears this is to go between now and the weekend. I’m not going to name dates. I’m not going to name days.  I’m excited about how close we are.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher.  If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

The financial crutch and foundation for this corrupt nation has all but evaporated. Oil will not save the day for Iraq and it’s corrupt leadership anymore.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher.  If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [do you think that there is any chance that once the RV is started  that they will try to “cheat us” out of a fair share of the RV?]   Nope. I understand your concern and where you are coming from, but it would be “RV Suicide” to try to steal from those that they need to support them. Basically, you’re alluding to an “in country” RV.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  …They’ve kind of accelerated what it is they want to do.  That’s why you’re seeing a lot of articles coming out talking about retiring notes and stuff like that.  It’s not the CBI itself.  Remember how I follow the laws of Iraq.  It’s the parliament, the ministry of Planning, the ministry of Finance and then the CBI…if you have those 4 talking about it in THAT order then it means something.  What are the numbers.  Who’s passing the law…that’s what I want to know.  The CBI said they were going to add value to the currency.  The ministry of planning said they were going to add value to their currency.  The minister of Finance said we are going to add value to the currency.  Parliament said we are going to add value to the currency.  The IMF is on board so Iraq can add value to their currency…If you don’t understand this part of it, it’s tough to follow.  How do you do it?  The numbers are there.  It’s not an opinion.  [Post 2 of 2]

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   Remember, the size of the notes in a marketplace is reflective of the price of goods in the marketplace. In order for the lower denominated notes to be used in the marketplace is for the prices to have decreased enough for them to be used.  With Iraq still importing 85% of its goods, those prices in the marketplace will lower once the value of the currency buying them increases in value significantly.  Those goods are imported today with the USD. Those prices will not be brought down in price importing them with a currency less valuable than a dollar.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [If we would see a RV in October 2016, do you believe it would be at the once mentioned rate of .10 cents.]  Depends on oil prices. If it starts spiking, which is very possible, then yes I think 10 pennies or even higher.  If oil is hovering around $50, but we see the HCL, then I’d look for 5-10 cents.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   the Financial Committee met two days ago with the CBI…It is important…that you understand that this meeting…IOO was…the very first time…the Finance Committee actually met with the CBI…and they talked about the IQD…their currency…their currency’s true rate…and about the exchange rate about their currency… Abadi said the new budget is going to reflect the lifting of the 000’s from our exchange rate.  …so…are you guys done?   …CBI…we’ve been ready for a long time…we’ve been waiting for security…we’ve been waiting for terrorism to go away…we’ve been waiting for corruption to go away within us and the GOI…I think we are ready…Dr. Shabibi said that the next budget will reflect the new numbers of these meetings….I don’t know what the rate will be…I don’t even know when they are going to do this…but I do know that these are the things they are saying to us.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Abadi has removed many corrupt ministers… with the help of these agencies…and in fact just recently he replaced five of them and there are more to come…some of them are called technocrats…wiser… smarter people…more honest people that actually want to do something for…Iraq.  Allak has been holding the proxy position as the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq…and…Abadi and Dr. Shabibi IMO…were busy selecting the governor of the CBI…besides the ministers…the proxy governor of the CBI is about to be replaced…IMO Allak’s replacement is already on the plane.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    Mosul is what we look at right now…through the eyes of the United Nations, the WTO, and the United States of America…The IMF suggested to the country of Iraq that you should float your currency…and that you should enter the international world in the first half of the year and we will take you there in 2016…and that you should remove corruption from the CBI and the GOI…and the UN and the coalition forces will help you remove the corruption of ISIS and DAASH in your country. As we sit on top of a very big mountain right now and look down upon the scenery below us…we see these things accomplished…and as we get closer and closer we are seeing that many things are accomplished.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

mike (Dinar Guru) –    ...they’ll get this open market economy up and running and the country will prosper or they won’t and in a short time they won’t be able to make payroll for the 4 million plus state employees and then all hell is going to break loose. They say necessity is the mother of all inventions and I’m hoping this applies to Iraq as well. Iraq needs to course correct in a big way for it’s own political and sovereign survival. The investment is still a good one…even if the currency goes to a quarter it’s still a 25,000% increase in your investment… All we’re waiting for is the political will for real change…IMO.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Until Iraq develops the political will for change, things will be the same two years from now as well…here’s the thing, they can’t afford to continue the way they’ve always done things. The financial crutch and foundation for this corrupt nation has all but evaporated. Oil will not save the day for Iraq and it’s corrupt leadership anymore. The reserves, or the nation’s safety net, is eroding at an alarming rate and in a short time there won’t be enough money to borrow to keep this country afloat.  Two things will happen in Iraq… [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Bruce (Dinar Guru) –   …we talked about the Amnesty Law having been passed and gone through and been put into the Gazette?  Evidently there’s five parts to that Amnesty Law. Three …of the parts have been passed and gone through and are in the Gazette.  There may be two more aspects to it that might…go through the weekend. We don’t believe that these two aspects of the Amnesty Law…will hold anything up or is something that we’re waiting to have happen.   I will say this, looking at this thing from my perspective; it appears we are coming down to the wire.  It appears this is to go between now and the weekend. I’m not going to name dates. I’m not going to name days.  I’m excited about how close we are.

______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   I think Iraq’s reserves are around $50 billion, M0 money supply is at least 30 trillion dinars and when you add in the ISX and other things, the M0 is roughly 60 trillion dinars, or a ballpark of 30-60 billion dollars worth of dinar at the 1182 rate.   But what happens if you raise the rate to say 0.10? Now, that same 30 trillion dinar is worth $3 trillion dollars, that’s nowhere close to 150% coverage of the currency in reserves.  I’m all for the float but hopefully Iraq will get the currency into Article VIII first.   [post 2 of 2]

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “The float of the dinar that reduces pressure on the central bank in relation to the size of the foreign currency reserves…”   For me, the float is a great idea, after they’ve moved to Article VIII. There won’t be any demand for the dinar until it’s internationally recognized and accepted. …just look at the street rate vs official rate as it stands today, there’s a 9% spread. Once Iraqi’s can buy Turkish tomatoes with the dinar, demand will increase.  There are many in the GOI who are all for the float today because they know it will probably drop to somewhere between 1400 and 1500-$1 and it will result in lower costs for payroll etc.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Quote:  ”The GOI Signs on Thursday a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations that Requires the Involvement of International Investigators in the Files of the Grounds of Corruption”  the UN is there with…handcuffs…to a degree…The UN is going in to…to remove the corruption…We are waiting…and watching for the UN to be successful in what they are doing…me and my TEAMS only care about the UN, the WTO, the IMF and the USA right now…Monetary Reform is out right now in front of our eyes…even before they release Mosul to you as liberated…they have already passed all the laws for the Monetary Reform…once they give you Mosul…what did we tell you…IMO the Monetary Reform will come at you with the speed of light.

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –  …Iraq has been hit because of the oil prices that went down.  It messed everybody up…it really did.  but in the end what’s the answer?  What’s on the table?  Banks are having problems getting people cash.  And then you have people out there say they have too much dinar out there so it’s not going to revalue.  how does that work?  doesn’t make any sense does it?  Not only that but you have two reports that came out talking about one at 6 billion notes and one at 4 billion notes. [See Bretling Post from 8-16-2016]  …Yeah let’s say it’s true…they have 53 trillion dinar…then yeah it’s not going to revalue.  but it’s up to you.  I’m not going to convince anyone of anything, it’s not my job.  I know exactly what’s going on.  I know exactly what the numbers are.  And they’ve reduced it since the 4 billion note count.  How long ago? I don’t know.  I know what’s coming down the road….what’s going on in Iraq is pretty shocking.  [Post 1 of 2 stay tuned for the rest of the story]

Iraqi government is unanimously unclear

_87659_iraq3
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi succeeded Monday in getting parliamentary approval for five of the names proposed to occupy ministerial positions in which The new government, which was promised months ago that consists of competencies away from quotas partisan reform that raise high the roof frame, but failed to implement any of its requirements, while large sphincter collided with the political blocs to maintain their share of ministerial and administrative positions.

In return for this little amount of “success” Ebadi received a painful blow parliamentary vote against conviction answers and Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi during his interrogation before the Council meeting earlier this month, paving the way for the withdrawal of confidence from him and his dismissal in a sensitive period of preparing the prime minister in which to achieve the completion of the war on organizing Daesh complete expulsion of the largest stronghold of him in Iraq; the city of Mosul.

The President of the House of Representatives Saleem al-Jubouri, Monday, insert the withdrawal of confidence from the Minister of Defence at a hearing next Tuesday…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   By the time the new RV happens they want to have as much of the 3 zero notes already exchanged in Iraq as possible. The e-dinar implementation will also help too since I believe this is why they will use the e-dinar for months to pay people instead of hard currency. (from Sept 1st 2016 thru Jan 1st 2017)… This will not put any more new currency  back into circulation and thus limit the possibility of 3 zero notes later. So they needed all this time to clean up the financial and banking system. Remember the IMF came into being a major player in the process in Oct 2015…  This new 5.4 billion loan is bait…bating Iraq to go alone with the needed reforms. Also they do not want to give them this aid unless they can pay it back and the reforms are their assurance. They are supposed to get another 2 billion of the loan by the end of the year Do you now see just how close we are to the RV?  We are approaching an RV window…The window is Sept 1st 2016 thru Jan 1st 2017…its coming…at least they will attempt it one more time.   [post 3 of 3]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  For instance 4 of the $25,000k notes today is worth $100 dollars. Then they launch the lower denoms. The new $100 notes will be worth $100 dollars. Easy one note instead of four notes. No value change yet. But when they go to the bank to dump (exchange) their cumbersome, extra large 3 zero notes it will be a 1:1. They will turn in 4 of the $25,000 notes for one $100 new notes. Value stays exactly the same.  So citizens in Iraq will have the exact same purchasing power only they won’t have to carry wads of these 3 zero notes of to purchase. Note they did not say 1:1 with the USD they simply said 1:1 with the old currency to the new currency value. When do we make our millions then?  This is step #2: The process calls for bringing the dinar back to the true value pre-war years. This is the bonus for us, this is the RV. But this new rate will not have any effect on the Iraqi citizen…   …the exchange rate we keep hearing about of $3.22 – $4.20 is for the USA value in dollars…our $25,000 dinar notes get exchanged to dollars. So at an RV of $3.00 we would get $75,000 for our $25,000 note.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember this RV is going to be a two stage process.  ​First they must launch the lower denominations at a 1:1 and then later comes the RV with an increase in value. The new value will coincide with the post war value plus equity.  Article:  “Economists divided over deletion of zeros on Iraqi dinar”  This is an amazing article… This article confirms that the RV is a two step process.  The First step: Quote: “that the step to delete zeros is merely an administrative process, and the currency equation should remain the same. This means that the purchasing power of the new currency should be equal to that of the old currency. He added that the two currencies should both remain in the market for a period not exceeding three years, then the old currency should be gradually withdrawn“.  So how do they get the old currency to equal the new currency value from an RV we all keep hearing about?  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –   Article “Dozens demonstrate in front of the family bank in central Baghdad to demand their money…”  People don’t realize this but this has been going on at more than one bank.  The thing is the banks are not releasing cash to the citizens.  And that’s strange since there are misunderstandings out there of how much dinar is out there.  With all that dinar out there [Said sarcastically].  There’s a shortage of getting citizens their money?  That worthless dinar?  How does that happen?  Strange circumstances don’t you think?  With trillions and trillions of dinar out there…and that’s the accusation that’s out there…why would they have problems giving cash to people on the streets? [If there was trillions of dinar] It doesn’t exist.  …it’s not a nation wide thing but it keeps happening over and over again.  So again, my question is…With all these trillions of dinars?  …It’s the note count and it’s something that’s not talked about…   [Part 1 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   By the time the new RV happens they want to have as much of the 3 zero notes already exchanged in Iraq as possible. The e-dinar implementation will also help too since I believe this is why they will use the e-dinar for months to pay people instead of hard currency. (from Sept 1st 2016 thru Jan 1st 2017)… This will not put any more new currency  back into circulation and thus limit the possibility of 3 zero notes later. So they needed all this time to clean up the financial and banking system. Remember the IMF came into being a major player in the process in Oct 2015…  This new 5.4 billion loan is bait…bating Iraq to go alone with the needed reforms. Also they do not want to give them this aid unless they can pay it back and the reforms are their assurance. They are supposed to get another 2 billion of the loan by the end of the year Do you now see just how close we are to the RV?  We are approaching an RV window…The window is Sept 1st 2016 thru Jan 1st 2017…its coming…at least they will attempt it one more time.   [post 3 of 3]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –  For instance 4 of the $25,000k notes today is worth $100 dollars. Then they launch the lower denoms. The new $100 notes will be worth $100 dollars. Easy one note instead of four notes. No value change yet. But when they go to the bank to dump (exchange) their cumbersome, extra large 3 zero notes it will be a 1:1. They will turn in 4 of the $25,000 notes for one $100 new notes. Value stays exactly the same.  So citizens in Iraq will have the exact same purchasing power only they won’t have to carry wads of these 3 zero notes of to purchase. Note they did not say 1:1 with the USD they simply said 1:1 with the old currency to the new currency value. When do we make our millions then?  This is step #2: The process calls for bringing the dinar back to the true value pre-war years. This is the bonus for us, this is the RV. But this new rate will not have any effect on the Iraqi citizen…   …the exchange rate we keep hearing about of $3.22 – $4.20 is for the USA value in dollars…our $25,000 dinar notes get exchanged to dollars. So at an RV of $3.00 we would get $75,000 for our $25,000 note.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember this RV is going to be a two stage process.  ​First they must launch the lower denominations at a 1:1 and then later comes the RV with an increase in value. The new value will coincide with the post war value plus equity.  Article:  “Economists divided over deletion of zeros on Iraqi dinar”  This is an amazing article… This article confirms that the RV is a two step process.  The First step: Quote: “that the step to delete zeros is merely an administrative process, and the currency equation should remain the same. This means that the purchasing power of the new currency should be equal to that of the old currency. He added that the two currencies should both remain in the market for a period not exceeding three years, then the old currency should be gradually withdrawn“.  So how do they get the old currency to equal the new currency value from an RV we all keep hearing about?  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    […2017 BUDGET WILL BE $82 BILLION AND BASED ON $40 PER BARREL…]  I haven’t looked at any recent budget numbers – but doesn’t that leave them pretty short still?  On the other hand, if oil spikes – which it always does – they will be in really good shape…in fact, REALLY good shape.
______________________________________________________________

mike (Dinar Guru) –   To me,  fisal policy = legislation. I don’t think you’ll find concrete evidence that he’s wrong, just the absence of the legislation that’s necessary for economic/monetary reform. I think we’re hearing a lot of discussion from the economists, IMF and even the CBI, but precious little from the government itself. I think they’re begrudgingly following the guidelines the IMF set up so they can have access to the loans, but I would agree with Keywords, they don’t have a long term plan.  Hopefully I’m way off base and 2017 is the year…   [post 2 of 2]

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Keywords acknowledges the absence of fiscal policy and accuses the institutions working for political interests Baaaguetha”  I’m puzzled as to why Keyword’s would put these kinds of statements out today when there’s supposed to be a plan to move this country forward economically and monetarily.  We keep hearing about a plan and yet Keywords is telling us there isn’t one. I guess time will tell, they told us Iraq would be part of the worlds economy by mid 2016 and now they’ve moved it to 2017, here’s hoping that is still the plan.    [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –  …the “delete the zero project”…does not mean that a 1,000 IQD note becomes a 1 IQD note.  The delete the zero project is the gradual removal of the larger notes from the market place…and that happens by the increase in value of the IQD which will reduce the prices in the market place, thus making the smaller notes usable. The fewer notes in circulation means a greater value of the currency.  …the CBI has told everyone of us exactly what they are doing…We have the facts.

Iraqi government is unanimously unclear

_87659_iraq3
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi succeeded Monday in getting parliamentary approval for five of the names proposed to occupy ministerial positions in which The new government, which was promised months ago that consists of competencies away from quotas partisan reform that raise high the roof frame, but failed to implement any of its requirements, while large sphincter collided with the political blocs to maintain their share of ministerial and administrative positions.

In return for this little amount of “success” Ebadi received a painful blow parliamentary vote against conviction answers and Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi during his interrogation before the Council meeting earlier this month, paving the way for the withdrawal of confidence from him and his dismissal in a sensitive period of preparing the prime minister in which to achieve the completion of the war on organizing Daesh complete expulsion of the largest stronghold of him in Iraq; the city of Mosul.

The President of the House of Representatives Saleem al-Jubouri, Monday, insert the withdrawal of confidence from the Minister of Defence at a hearing next Tuesday…

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq is heading toward financial stability”   Quote:  “Najib confirmed that «laid plans by the government economic initiatives, very good and entered the implementation phase, there are small, medium and large size of more than six trillion projects Iraqi dinars, which will generate revenues and stimulate the economy in the near future »and showed the MP that the economic crisis in the country needs time to end it because of Iraq is unable to diversify its economy and sources of the budget, especially as the security situation in the implementation of economic plans and expansion by the advent of international companies to invest in Iraq.”  I really like this paragraph…Just think of the potential of the outside investors and when the current value of their currency increases, the power of these economic initiatives will have on the global economy. I am very impressed and very pleased to be reading this type of news.

mike (Dinar Guru) –    I’ve always read that the WTO wants Iraq to:  “He said the main duties of the task force are reducing the difference of value between Iraqi Dinar and US dollar and activating Iraq’s private sector.”   …the dollar to dinar difference right now is about 100,000%, there’s a big space available to raise the value of the dinar without it having to be 1-1…the WTO isn’t saying the dinar has to be close to a dollar, it’s saying that Iraq needs to close the gap a little, like a nickel, dime or quarter rise, not the full dollar amount.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Central Bank: the issuance of three categories of cash in 2017”   IMO, if the plan is on target, we are watching the CBI now get ready for the initial increase in value which will allow the 50, 100, 200 to begin circulation at the beginning of 2017.   Which as I have already stated, means the dinar needs to rise to about 5 or 10 cents. They will not release these notes until the value is appropriate for the notes to warrant circulation. So we are seeing the banking system now being prepared by laws, compliance with the IMF etc.. The next several months will be very busy I would expect in the media.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Zain launches electronic payment solutions and prepared the first time in Iraq”   Quote:  “…first electronic payment means in Iraq will contribute to the expansion of e-commerce areas and will have a similar effect to the effect of “PayPal” on e-commerce in the United States or the impact of credit cards on the global economy.”    This IMO is all part of the plan to make the dinar a competitor in foreign currency.  Lining up to open the banking system.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [HCL, the law of all laws, the one we are waiting to be passed…do you think since it is one of the, or the most important law to be passed it must come after all others.]  IMO we don’t have to see ALL of the laws passed before the HCL is completed. We will see SOME related action prior to the actual HCL, but they certainly don’t have to hold off completely until all the lights to town are green. I expect to see 3 or 4 very directly related actions taken, most likely in Parliament, and then the HCL will get done and we’ll see a major change in the exchange rate and a flurry of other actions.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   How do you lift article eight. Lift the three zeros.  Now countries are rebuilding IRAQ and the reforms. They are getting ready for something.  We are now in the second of the two by two by two. Two represents two weeks.  Mosul is the second of the two by two by two. So we only have one more two by left.  The moment that they give Mosul the monetary reform will go at the speed of light.  We will see Mosul by the middle of this month…[IMO].  The major step is the WTO. (World Trade Organization).  The WTO is waiting on the (remove?) zeros. Waiting on liberated MOSUL. Be patient. They are just waiting on Iraq.  Waiting on Iraq to lift the value of the Dinar…The banking systems in Iraq are…up to date…BUT…It doesn’t do them any good at a program rate. The currency value has to be lifted before anything happens.  Many agencies signed off on Iraq a long time ago. The WTO is going to do the same.   Everyone, CBI etc is saying go.  RAISE THE VALUE OF OUR CURRENCY!  LOOK FOR MOSUL!

It’s embarrassing that the IMF and WB have to step in and right the ship, but at this point, Iraq must be used to others coming in and fixing their problems.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   [Executive order 13303…what is it and what does it mean for us dinar holders?]    What is an Executive Order?  An Executive Order enables the president to by pass or step around the normal appropriation process the way it is laid out in the constitution and to do things and to use his executive power to carry out certain events and in this case directing funding, primarily humanitarian funding and assistance, through all of the different Federal agencies toward the country of Iraq.  And it says because of the emergency and in the last couple of years it’s been humanitarian emergencies… Each time it has been signed, I read it over and over and I can’t see anything in there that pertains to whether or not…being a sovereign country having it’s own currency…as to whether or not it will change it’s value or not change it’s value. I don’t see any impact on it one way or the other.  So what is the rumor…has it been signed or not been signed…I don’t see a connection between the two.

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –   [Among the factors encouraging foreign investment, how important is the current IQD low exchange rate?]   the low value is always good for a country to encourage investment…in a limited capacity…however…with Iraq when the flood gates open, Iraq will need to leverage its currency with a greater value.

Bondlady (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Baghdad She said the oil marketing company Iraq (SOMO) said in a statement on Thursday that Iraq pumped 4.632 million barrels per day of crude oil in the month of July, recording an increase of 4.559 million barrels per day in the month of June.”   the most oil pumped per day during saddams time at the end was 3 millon bpd. this is just awesome and they’re pumping more an more every day. even tho low oil prices this is great for them and it will only get better now as they get there crap together economically more an more every day…love it .

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:   “Continuing efforts to join the World Trade Organization”  This is good news.  Remember, one of the conditions set a few years ago was the raise the value of the dinar prior to WTO accession.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   [Will Iraq have to get control of the MCP for the 90 days prior to a move in the dinar’s status?]  It is my understanding that the CBI will have to maintain the 2% spread for 90 days in order to get the green light from the IMF to move to Article VIII   [If the currency is listed on Forex, doesn’t that mean the dinar is now in Article VIII?]  Interesting question.  I do not know if their is a direct relationship between participation in Forex and IMF Article VIII.  IMO, moving to Forex is more than just floating the dinar, it would provide the alternative they need to the daily auctions. Keep in mind, the CBI can float their currency at anytime without Article VIII.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    […is there a  part of any  i.m.f. or world bank contract or translations, that  tells central bank of  Iraq, that when they go electronic banking there must be a value  to the dinar...?]  As much as I wish there were some kind of entity that could force the CBI to put a specific value on the dinar, I don’t believe anyone can force the CBI to do anything. Yes, there are influences and they will play nice with what other financial entities want, because the end goal is to be an internationally traded currency with a respectable value!  But nobody can “force” the CBI to do anything. That’s a good thing, though, because just like they can’t be forced to raise the value… they can’t be forced NOT to raise the value.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   [What, if any, laws are needed before Iraq can move to Article VIII?]  I am not aware of any laws persay that need to be passed, only restrictions that exist in monetary policy that conflict with the guidelines of Article VIII under the IMF Once they are in compliance, I would expect the CBI and IMF will be working to transition.  Under the IMF guidelines, central banks have to strive for Article VIII.  [To do this move, would the CBI have to remove all of the exchange restrictions?]  Yes.  Article VIII is the ideal situation for Iraq which benefits them when it comes to international acceptance and convertibility.  Keep in mind, Article VIII and currency reform are two separate issues.  I believe the CBI will begin to reform the dinar via float and delete the zeros before Article VIII.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –    Articles:  “Alusi demanding the president to dissolve parliament and form an emergency government”   “Nassif: Defense Minister to offer me a million dollars in exchange for the postponement of questioning for a week”   Quote:  “I ask you and I ask all those responsible and sensible to dissolve parliament and to move the government of emergency and early elections.”    hmm could get ugly…that interrogation of Obeidi has stirred the pot big time. Nassif has accused him of trying to bribe her with a million dollars to delay the questioning.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   One thing we should all know about how a dramatic increase in the value of the dinar will work is that nobody in Iraq (or anywhere else for that matter!) will go into a bank or currency exchange with dinar and then walk out with buckets or wheelbarrows full of another currency. That’s not how it works! We will either have to deposit it into their account, wire it to another account via their bank, or perhaps we will get a cashiers check.   Iraq faced a major problem 10 years ago that would have single-handedly prevented the RV, even if it weren’t for the broken GOI and everything else: Technology. Iraq did not have the technology to do a mass conversion of their currency. I am referring not only to the lack of technology in their paper currency itself, which made it easy to counterfeit, but also the technology in how their banks talk to each other, share funds, or even participate in the auctions…before ~2009 the ISX was basically done on chalkboards!  …but this is no longer the case. Check this out:  “The central bank plans to activate the electronic systems to minimize the cash trading process”  ...we are nearing the end of this ride. SO MANY things are now out of the way, the path forward is clearing up faster than a lot of people can believe, and we will see a rise in the value!   [post 3 of 3]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –  3. The news is showing more and more that Iraq is pushing to get control of ISIS. …I’ve even heard a few comments about how ISIS must be “completely destroyed” before an RV, but that’s just not true. ISIS influence on the stability of Iraq is dwindling.  4. In a continuing effort to bring Iraq as a nation closer together, we see more and more instances of the Kurds getting a larger share of the money. If you think back a couple years, you’ll remember that the biggest obstacle to the HCL has always been lack of cooperation from the Kurds, and for good reason. They were getting screwed! Since Abadi has taken the wheel, that has changed. We are closer than ever to an HCL. It WILL happen.  I saved what may be the best for last…   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Here’s something I almost never do… a DATE! (Sort of.) Ready? September MAYBE, October I REALLY like.  I could be wrong – August is not completely ruled out in my book, but after doing these updates for so many years, and studying Iraq and other countries like a hawk for an even longer time… I think I have a good “feel” for the status. …these first 2 are the bad points. 1. It’s been my experience (and history/news/Google will back this up with facts) that after Ramadan, they (Iraq) either have things lined up and ready to reach a milestone…or they don’t.  Let’s face it, nothing major came after this most recent Ramadan. It doesn’t concern me about an “eventual” increase in the IQD, but I’m not going to expect it this week. 2. Remember what I was saying about “watch the oil” for the HCL to grow legs? Oil dipped again. Where it was once on the way back to a respectable $60ish range, it has dropped back down below $40 again.  Oil will go back up, and the HCL will get moving again, but I doubt August is our month.  Now let’s talk about some positive stuff… [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Bruce (Dinar Guru) –   Redemption centers are quiet. They are on blackout. Some that we know of, so probably all are ready for notifications. We believe that all are on an any moment basis. We heard this from many sources. We are not calling it, we are just telling you to the best of our ability that this is what we have been told that this is where we are.  I’m excited, but I’m cautious about making you all too excited. I’ve been affected by this over 12 years. I’m frustrated as well. But we are all in the same boat.  We will all receive the blessing together. We all go at the same time. Rates – my position has always been not to put out rates…rates could change up or down, at any moment.
______________________________________________________________

Bondlady (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Dollar rises again .. specialists are demanding the central bank to clarify the reason for the low value of the dinar”   …people are still sitting on their dinars, the CBI needs the majority of those dinars back, if the people won’t do it on their own, I wonder if the prices aren’t being manipulated, making things cost more money by making the dinar even less attractive and causing them to use more dinars for there purchases… end result would be the same just not as quick imo.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Dinar on raising the money supply in the size of banks”  Quote:   “…called on the central bank to the registration of the Iraqi dinar in the foreign exchange market,…”    Bingo!  For those who don’t know…the foreign exchange market is Forex.  So they are ask the CBI to list the Dinar on the Forex for trading.  Which is exactly what we want…time to float the dinar and let the world market set the value.

ADMINBILL (Dinar Guru) –   HERE IS WHERE I THINK WE ARE AT 1:40PM MDT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. I BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS WHICH INCORPORATES THE CURRENCY AND THE BONDS.  I BELIEVE THAT THE BOND TRANSACTIONS ARE WHAT HAS BEEN HOLDING THE PROCESS UP BUT THAT IS A DONE DEAL NOW.  I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENCY MUST PRECEDE THE BONDS TO SUPPORT BOND REDEMPTION OR, AT THE VERY LEAST, GO AT THE SAME TIME.  I DO NOT BELIEVE THE BONDS CAN PRECEDE THE CURRENCY. I FURTHER BELIEVE THAT WE MUST BE NEAR WITH THE CURRENT PUBLIC BOND DISCUSSIONS…MY OPINION ONLY.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Dollar rises again .. specialists are demanding the central bank to clarify the reason for the low value of the dinar”  With the money supply reducing and the economic growth trending, along with laws continually being implemented and the demand for Iraq’s oil as well as the continued support from her allies during the recent fluctuation in oil prices, there needs to be a growing urgency for the dinar to more closely represent it’s true value.

They got rid of the Interior Minister and now they’re going after the Sunni Defense Minister who’s throwing shade at Jabouri, the Sunni Speaker of the House. If they keep up, there won’t be anyone left in Parliament to throw shoes at. The other thing…Parliament’s out until August 9th, another week off after they just got back from vacation.

They have the usual socialist disease; they have run out of other people’s money. – Margaret Thatcher

*** Current News ***

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   [Will Iraq have to get control of the MCP for the 90 days prior to a move in the dinar’s status?]  It is my understanding that the CBI will have to maintain the 2% spread for 90 days in order to get the green light from the IMF to move to Article VIII   [If the currency is listed on Forex, doesn’t that mean the dinar is now in Article VIII?]  Interesting question.  I do not know if their is a direct relationship between participation in Forex and IMF Article VIII.  IMO, moving to Forex is more than just floating the dinar, it would provide the alternative they need to the daily auctions. Keep in mind, the CBI can float their currency at anytime without Article VIII.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    […is there a  part of any  i.m.f. or world bank contract or translations, that  tells central bank of  Iraq, that when they go electronic banking there must be a value  to the dinar...?]  As much as I wish there were some kind of entity that could force the CBI to put a specific value on the dinar, I don’t believe anyone can force the CBI to do anything. Yes, there are influences and they will play nice with what other financial entities want, because the end goal is to be an internationally traded currency with a respectable value!  But nobody can “force” the CBI to do anything. That’s a good thing, though, because just like they can’t be forced to raise the value… they can’t be forced NOT to raise the value.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   [What, if any, laws are needed before Iraq can move to Article VIII?]  I am not aware of any laws persay that need to be passed, only restrictions that exist in monetary policy that conflict with the guidelines of Article VIII under the IMF Once they are in compliance, I would expect the CBI and IMF will be working to transition.  Under the IMF guidelines, central banks have to strive for Article VIII.  [To do this move, would the CBI have to remove all of the exchange restrictions?]  Yes.  Article VIII is the ideal situation for Iraq which benefits them when it comes to international acceptance and convertibility.  Keep in mind, Article VIII and currency reform are two separate issues.  I believe the CBI will begin to reform the dinar via float and delete the zeros before Article VIII.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –    Articles:  “Alusi demanding the president to dissolve parliament and form an emergency government”   “Nassif: Defense Minister to offer me a million dollars in exchange for the postponement of questioning for a week”   Quote:  “I ask you and I ask all those responsible and sensible to dissolve parliament and to move the government of emergency and early elections.”    hmm could get ugly…that interrogation of Obeidi has stirred the pot big time. Nassif has accused him of trying to bribe her with a million dollars to delay the questioning.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   One thing we should all know about how a dramatic increase in the value of the dinar will work is that nobody in Iraq (or anywhere else for that matter!) will go into a bank or currency exchange with dinar and then walk out with buckets or wheelbarrows full of another currency. That’s not how it works! We will either have to deposit it into their account, wire it to another account via their bank, or perhaps we will get a cashiers check.   Iraq faced a major problem 10 years ago that would have single-handedly prevented the RV, even if it weren’t for the broken GOI and everything else: Technology. Iraq did not have the technology to do a mass conversion of their currency. I am referring not only to the lack of technology in their paper currency itself, which made it easy to counterfeit, but also the technology in how their banks talk to each other, share funds, or even participate in the auctions…before ~2009 the ISX was basically done on chalkboards!  …but this is no longer the case. Check this out:  “The central bank plans to activate the electronic systems to minimize the cash trading process”  ...we are nearing the end of this ride. SO MANY things are now out of the way, the path forward is clearing up faster than a lot of people can believe, and we will see a rise in the value!   [post 3 of 3]

Iraq: negotiations complete reshuffle kicks off today (WOW – short “Flashback”)…

Embarked on Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al – Abadi, first steps toward a cabinet reshuffle again, after it was approved, the first on Tuesday, on the resignation of six ministers from his cabinet , most of them belonging to the National Alliance

The Iraqi sources had confirmed for “new Arab”, the Abadi plans to reshuffle includes a number of ministers in his government and heads of independent institutions, such as the Central Bank and the Council of the Judiciary and the Electoral Commission.

mike (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “House of Representatives questioned the Minister of Defense , headed by Vice President Sheikh Mohammed Iaram”    …the political circus is still going strong. They got rid of the Interior Minister and now they’re going after the Sunni Defense Minister who’s throwing shade at Jabouri, the Sunni Speaker of the House. If they keep up, there won’t be anyone left in Parliament to throw shoes at. The other thing…Parliament’s out until August 9th, another week off after they just got back from vacation.

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Iraqi Central Bank revealed on Monday, all give him the government banks until next September, to adapt itself to electronic systems and transactions…”  [the deposit law is done and has been Gazetted?]  had to be for this move.   as the credit rating improves, banking laws implemented and ease of transactions, we are seeing big steps being taken these last few years to get Iraq on par with participating in the lending/borrowing investment economic process. Steps forward not steps backwards…and with the deposit law, good stuff!
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   Loving the news outta Iraq!  Article:  “Iraqi Central Bank revealed on Monday, all give him the government banks until next September, to adapt itself to electronic systems and transactions…”  love a time schedule…The central bank gives the government banks until September to adapt itself to the electronic systems.  …take advantage of 77 percent of the money supply in the possession of citizens outside the banks, get rid of the cash circulation problems…get those dinars in the bank!  only 10 % of the population is using the electronic system right now but not for long!  this is going to bring in trillions of dinars off the streets which is exactly what we want!  stability is ongoing as well, all the things needed to make the transition and delete the zero’s!
______________________________________________________________

Blondie (Dinar Guru) –   Has the trigger for exchange notifications been pulled as of right now? No.  As always, we don’t know the date or time. But all indications are that we continue to be inching towards that date and time in very short order – as of this moment. There is no information indicative of an unplanned interruption in the process at this time. I remain highly encouraged and optimistic.

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Parliamentary Finance is discussing with the new managers of the banks to maintain liquidity”  Quote:  “Parliamentary Finance Committee discussed with the new bank directors, maintaining Iraq’s cash flow from waste, as well as discuss the Banking Act.”  as well as discuss the Banking Act.  Quote:   “These meetings aim to walk according to the draft reforms as well as for the organization of Iraqi banks and prevent manipulation.”  the draft reforms…REFORMS!!!  …expect some great news this week.  I’m looking for some huge items mid week.  ALWAYS follow the money.  They could talk economic reforms all they want but… What can you do at 1166?
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:   “Economy and investment parliamentary host the five Iraqi banks managers”   Quote:  “The committee of economy and investment parliamentary five banks managers in Iraq today hosted to discuss the reality of the banking business…”   Good to see the banks and CBI in the news.  Like we have said many times, there is no market economy until their is a banking system in Iraq.  And these last few days they seem to be more focused on activating it.   The good news is that activating the banking system means a change in monetary policy and currency reform.  So progress is happening ever so slowly…it’s coming.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –  This will open them up internationally, reduce corruption and eliminate red tape. There won’t be much need for the currency traders either.  Also it will stop much of the currency counterfeiting!  This will reduce and eventually eliminate the need for the dollar as the program gets into full swing. This opens the door for the deletion of the 3 zero’s!! This is everything “currency reform” the epitome of the plan!  The stars are lining up.   [post 2 of 2]

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –    We saw Ernst & Young taking control of the state banks and they indicated it will take 125 working days max to do what needs to be done.  Which should be somewhere around November for completion. The timing is no coincidence I am sure.  Back in June the Cabinet approved the launch of electronic applications for the 6 trillion dinar stimulus loans, even the Integrity Commission is electronic now.  So the announcement from the CBI is saying they preparing the infrastructure and facilities for E-dinar, getting everything ready for the end of the year or the beginning of 2017. Tis a beautiful thing!   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Bondlady (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “…Select the central bank governor on the Keywords, Saturday, 2017 as the date for the launch of the electronic currency through the mail or e-dinar cards…”   This a well thought out plan and it obviously has the IMF written all over it…a well thought out plan to move the country forward with each step analyzed and implemented at the appropriate time!  We have learned how Iraq has been setting up the smart card and getting the facilities ready in many of the provinces with the goal of having it in ALL of the provinces...this will bring in much of the dinar off the streets which we know is necessary to the currency reform plan.
______________________________________________________________

Flashing (Dinar Guru) –   The fact that a country has gold, oil and other precious minerals is not enough to have a currency appreciation. It needs among other things the development of sound financial, fiscal and operating policies and procedures. It is a simple as this: you may have a have a million dollars today and next month- nothing… because you didn’t establish a budget to control your expenditures. So the appreciation of a currency is a complex and slow process. That’s why it has taken so many years.  With that said, I am not calling the rv, but I am highly expectant any time now because if Iraq wants to show a high increase in their q3 export figure and a positive trade balance as forecasted, they need to do something asap.   [post 2 of 2]

Iraq: negotiations complete reshuffle kicks off today (WOW – short “Flashback”)…

Embarked on Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al – Abadi, first steps toward a cabinet reshuffle again, after it was approved, the first on Tuesday, on the resignation of six ministers from his cabinet , most of them belonging to the National Alliance

The Iraqi sources had confirmed for “new Arab”, the Abadi plans to reshuffle includes a number of ministers in his government and heads of independent institutions, such as the Central Bank and the Council of the Judiciary and the Electoral Commission.

Flashing (Dinar Guru) –    I have been quiet for long time seeing how people have become discouraged and frustrated. There is no banker holding up the rv, there is no Obama, Hillary, Bush, or Trump hold up.  The rv is not being held up until the elections. These are stories we have heard for years and they do not justify predictions that have come and gone.  Now is the time to be encouraged and alert.  Iraq has been doing a lot of things that call for an appreciation on their currency (rv).  There is a big increase in exports expected during q3 with a slight increase in imports. Just this is enough to expect a currency appreciation along with the policies and procedures they have already approved and implemented.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   …I don’t put alot of confidence in the comments by Alak in this recent article…Alak’s job has been in question for 6 months or a year… AND – they are talking more and more – especially over the last 2 weeks. (about removing him).
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Basra council: the completion of the project port of Faw will solve major economic problems in the province”  Article quote:  “…the Chairman of Basra Provincial Council, Sabah al-Bazoni, that Basra must be seen Basra as Economic Capital of Iraq.”   And so it appears Basra is on it’s way and so like a shining beacon of hope for Iraq!

Brietling (Dinar Guru) –  The Vietnamese currency is in play, BUT the best numbers I can guess is they are going to up 2 cents that’s about it.  Timeframe no body knows.  But it is in play because of what China’s done…they don’t have to compete.  And basically President Obama went to Vietnam to hammer the nails in the coffin of China and basically said you don’t have to worry about competing with them we’re going to do business with you regardless of what the rate is.  So that’s kind of like a green light for them to add value to their currency.

ADMINBILL (Dinar Guru) –     I DO NOT SEE THIS GOING PAST WEDNESDAY.

BGG ~ B.S. ALERT!!

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “The central bank reveals the date of launch electronic currency”  I don’t want to get people overly excited but this is very good news.   The CBI has always stated that one of the reasons for deleting the zeros was to get rid of the zeros because it makes it difficult in calculations and errors can occur.  I cannot see the CBI going to electronic dinar without removing the zeros first.  Otherwise, it seems that they would only be creating a bigger issue than they already have.  Keep fingers crossed.
