Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   [Iraq is broke, and borrwing money from everyone..how could the Iraqi banks ever change to $3.71?]    MY TAKE ON IRAQ AND THE NEED TO BORROW MONEY (USD?) IS THE REQUIREMENT TO STAY SOLVENT. ONCE THE RV TAKES PLAY THE VALUE OF IRAQI DINAR THEY HOLD IN THEIR VAULTS WILL MORE THAN COVER ANY LOANS. RIGHT NOW, IMO, IT IS ALL A SHELL GAME.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraqi cleric Sadr calls for protest against Maliki’s comeback”  Quote:  “Powerful Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Wednesday called for a demonstration against a Iraqi court ruling that returns his bitter rival, ex-prime minister Nuri al-Maliki, to a vice-presidential position.”

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –    I am having one of those “feelings”…we stand before that locked door…all of a sudden…we can hear clicks and clatters…bolts being thrown…then hinges creaking…the door frame bulges…it’s a fat lady for sure…but what happens is hopefully historic….Praying that what flows through is just so totally full of MR…hot…red hot lava flow of the MR…Monetary Reform that is...not the beginning thing either…but rather instead the whole enchilada…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   …to dispel a little rumor that was running about the Dinar Airwaves over the week… according to my most reliable sources, Maliki is not going to be returned as VP or any other significant role.  I’m sure this isn’t the last we will hear from Maliki, because he has nothing to lose by continuing to file motions, appeals, requests, etc… but I really don’t think we need to worry about him for the present time, or the near future.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Articles:  “Economic calls to cancel the auction currency and an end to the phenomenon of «money Moadh«”   “Why collapsed the Iraqi dinar .. Economists call for the central bank to answer”   The way I read all these cries, they are pushing for the CBI to move monetary policy forward...Like we have discussed for so long…the CBI needs to exit the peg and float the dinar. Unfortunately, as much as I agree, the government’s inability to lay the groundwork (pass laws) is holding all these reforms up.

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   [CBI Site Down?…Today, 11:16 AM]  It could be a number of things. Please do not read anything into this.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   4. But, to get to my reason for reigning in *some* of my optimism for this month… we still don’t have an HCL or much news about it’s implementation.  It’s great that Oil is going the right direction. It’s awesome to have the IMF praising them, it’s fantastic that they are making timely progress on the 2017 budget, but… without that HCL, I have to go back to “cautiously optimistic” at this time. On a more positive note, it’s widely believed that the HCL is pretty much done and it’s only a phone call away from being published in the Gazette and made official. That could certainly happen any day, even today or tomorrow!  But until it’s done, or we hear more about it, we remain patient.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   2. On the topic of oil prices, Iraq is very much involved in the recent OPEC movement to control production and get the prices moving back up. As of Monday, oil hit $53…  The head of BP says he is expecting $55-70 coming soon. This stuff isn’t written in stone, but it’s certainly a good indication of the efforts being taken, and Iraq will certainly gain confidence as a result.  3.Also cheering for Iraq and basically giving them a big ol’ green light is the IMF. It’s important to understand that the IMF can’t force them to RV, or stop them from doing it either, but when they have the IMF on their side, it’s a great thing!   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Around the end of August I had mentioned my slight optimism for September and greater enthusiasm for October. With October almost halfway over, I’m forced to reign in some of my enthusiasm… but not all. Here’s my latest thoughts: 1. I believe I was mistaken recently when I mentioned the budget was set based on an anticipated $60 ppb… according to this report, it was actually set at $45, which is probably only slightly off from the year-to-date average! You all know I don’t place a lot of importance on the “Budget”, as they release it to the public, but for them to continue showing this kind of control over their assets and finances is a GREAT thing for the world to be able to place confidence in a big increase in the value of the Iraqi Dinar. This year’s budget was completed and published right about the 1st of the year, which was a huge improvement over the previous decade. As of right now, they look to be on pace to do it again, or maybe even earlier! Again, this is exactly what they need to be doing in order to do an RV and most importantly, support the higher rate. They are doing great at this! [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  So right now the CBI with Allak and Abadi…IMF, UST… they know what they are doing with the Monetary Reform and the control of the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar…and do you remember what they have already said…that I want a gradual increase…IMO all of the recommendations from the IMF to the CBI are being accomplished …so we look for the next step to come from the CBI…and by the way…Allak even came out and said…in the reports that we have…in Arabic…he said yeah we know to do this before November…raise the value of your currency …before November…ever since that meeting…in Amman, Jordan…with the CBI and the IMF…the CBI told the IMF…we’ve done all the regulations…we are done…and we will implement before November…   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  ...the CBI and Allak have said that clearly they want to increase the rate gradually…we…feel that they are doing that…without telling anybody…the market street rate actually dropped over the week…it was at 1309 and it is at 1295 right now...the market rate dropped for the 2% compliance that the IMF wants…they are constantly doing something with the value of their currency…IMO.   I am of the school of thought that they will come out 1 to 1 in the country…   Allak and the CBI and the IMF have a plan and they are following it…they are following it step by step.  Mosul is the big lady that sits in front of us…when they finally do liberate Mosul you are going to see the Monetary Reform right in front of your eyes IMO.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Ex-PM Maliki making comeback as Iraq’s most powerful man”  I think much of this is propaganda since Maliki has been the most powerful man all along. If he gets the VP position back it changes nothing since the position has no effective decision making power and is ceremonial in nature.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Why you must stop the currency auction?”   They cannot end the auctions until the economy, and banking system are ready for the transition.  Leaving a monetary policy that is closed is difficult, especially with so many corrupt Iraqi’s trying hard to stop it.  But if Iraq ever wants to diversify, and invite global investment, they need to work towards Article VIII and the float…and the sooner the better.

Parliamentary Finance: Central Bank demands a comprehensive and immediate review of the mechanics of hard currency sale and adjust the rate of the dinar to maintain its value 

Orbit News – Finance Committee confirmed on Saturday that the decline in the dinar exchange rate against the dollar caused the central bank to adopt some private banks and not others in an auction and sell the currency weakness in monitoring the performance of those banks

Parliamentary Finance Committee has demanded in a statement ‘orbit News’ received a copy of it; the Central Bank of the need to adjust the trading currency auction and evaluate the performance of private banks, noting that the data and the official statistics confirming banks to provide some civil purchase invoices are not real in the auction currency.

Revealed statement; the determination of the parliamentary finance committee for the formation of a fact – finding committee to find out the reasons for the high price of the dollar in the markets, and monitor the performance of the central bank auction of currency and checking the seriousness of their actions , which marred a question in large signs, and put an end to the mafias market control and some currency traders at the exchange Aldenarabraghi.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “The catastrophic corruption between banks and companies in the sale of the American Dollar is coming to an end.” NINE EXAMPLES that CORRUPTION in IRAQ is being killed:
#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).
#8 – The antiquated banking systems had to stop
#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see. I’m hearing good things from my people… [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.
______________________________________________________________

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

BGG ~ That was already done – a few days ago!! (not that it matters)…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   BONDS…in my opinion, it does appear that the USA will not back up the BONDS that the GOI wants to sell. Remember, back in December, the IMF told the GOI that they were going to help them – if they raised the value of their currency.  Well, here we are…upon the prepuces of the monetary reform…and Abadi saying they have done everything…well…IF… you have done everything…they get LOANS don’t they?  I have not seen the CBI website show me a new rate for the IQD.  They have not changed it officially.  DO THEY WANT THE LOANS…the 640 Million Dollar Loan.  They will get that WHEN they raise the value of their currency…and if they don’t…they won’t get the BONDS.  This is not bad news.  This is fantastic news!

Economist: banking law ensures that the money deposited in state banks , even if stolen

Said economist Majid picture, that the Iraqi law guarantees citizens who deposit their money in the safety of government banks the money, even if they are stolen.

He said that the picture of “Iraq has enormous economic potential and talking about the depletion in the economic life for him to correct his theories,” noting that “one of the best economic potential, which we are tourist traffic and the entry of foreign currency into the country and continuously increasing and this requires the Government to invest this side is actual”… (Special thanks to RCookie – BIG PIECE!!)

Now these auctions are much, much lower. Family members of the GOI and banks in other countries have been involved in stealing money. The UN is looking at everything to help Iraq move into an International market place.  The international world is looking inside of Iraq…to help them become international.  The UN is there to provide discipline and stop the corruption…security teams with the UN are there.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Ex-PM Maliki making comeback as Iraq’s most powerful man”  I think much of this is propaganda since Maliki has been the most powerful man all along. If he gets the VP position back it changes nothing since the position has no effective decision making power and is ceremonial in nature.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Why you must stop the currency auction?”   They cannot end the auctions until the economy, and banking system are ready for the transition.  Leaving a monetary policy that is closed is difficult, especially with so many corrupt Iraqi’s trying hard to stop it.  But if Iraq ever wants to diversify, and invite global investment, they need to work towards Article VIII and the float…and the sooner the better.

Hutch (Dinar Guru) –   IMF report quote:  “The Board of the International Monetary Fund approved a standby credit loan SBA for a period of three years for Iraq and the rights of special drawing SDR value of 3.831 billion units (approximately: 5.34 billion, or percentage of 230%); to support the economic reform program adopted by the Iraqi government...”   That’s how the SDR works. They are allowed a percentage of their SDR deposit. Generally it is 200 percent. They have approx 10b in SDR basket, so they are allowed 200 percent of that. That is why they were able to get a 20 (Billion dollar) loan.  Thats what the agreement is and the 5.34 (Billion) is one of the installments.  It gets them on their feet. That’s why investment into the country is so important to what OUR end goal is.

Parliamentary Finance: Central Bank demands a comprehensive and immediate review of the mechanics of hard currency sale and adjust the rate of the dinar to maintain its value 

Orbit News – Finance Committee confirmed on Saturday that the decline in the dinar exchange rate against the dollar caused the central bank to adopt some private banks and not others in an auction and sell the currency weakness in monitoring the performance of those banks

Parliamentary Finance Committee has demanded in a statement ‘orbit News’ received a copy of it; the Central Bank of the need to adjust the trading currency auction and evaluate the performance of private banks, noting that the data and the official statistics confirming banks to provide some civil purchase invoices are not real in the auction currency.

Revealed statement; the determination of the parliamentary finance committee for the formation of a fact – finding committee to find out the reasons for the high price of the dollar in the markets, and monitor the performance of the central bank auction of currency and checking the seriousness of their actions , which marred a question in large signs, and put an end to the mafias market control and some currency traders at the exchange Aldenarabraghi.

This will very important to watch to see if he can finally get the GOI to approve his picks.  Getting rid of ISIS in Mosul, replacing corrupt ministers with non-political professionals, bringing in professional experts from the U.S. and the UN to stop the hemmoraging of money and establish true transparency is all going on right now.

#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).

#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

BGG ~ That was already done – a few days ago!! (not that it matters)…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Now these auctions are much, much lower. Family members of the GOI and banks in other countries have been involved in stealing money. The UN is looking at everything to help Iraq move into an International market place.  The international world is looking inside of Iraq…to help them become international.  The UN is there to provide discipline and stop the corruption…security teams with the UN are there.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Parliamentary Finance: Central Bank demands a comprehensive and immediate review of the mechanics of hard currency sale and adjust the rate of the dinar to maintain its value 

Orbit News – Finance Committee confirmed on Saturday that the decline in the dinar exchange rate against the dollar caused the central bank to adopt some private banks and not others in an auction and sell the currency weakness in monitoring the performance of those banks

Parliamentary Finance Committee has demanded in a statement ‘orbit News’ received a copy of it; the Central Bank of the need to adjust the trading currency auction and evaluate the performance of private banks, noting that the data and the official statistics confirming banks to provide some civil purchase invoices are not real in the auction currency.

Revealed statement; the determination of the parliamentary finance committee for the formation of a fact – finding committee to find out the reasons for the high price of the dollar in the markets, and monitor the performance of the central bank auction of currency and checking the seriousness of their actions , which marred a question in large signs, and put an end to the mafias market control and some currency traders at the exchange Aldenarabraghi.

Hutch (Dinar Guru) –   IMF report quote:  “The Board of the International Monetary Fund approved a standby credit loan SBA for a period of three years for Iraq and the rights of special drawing SDR value of 3.831 billion units (approximately: 5.34 billion, or percentage of 230%); to support the economic reform program adopted by the Iraqi government...”   That’s how the SDR works. They are allowed a percentage of their SDR deposit. Generally it is 200 percent. They have approx 10b in SDR basket, so they are allowed 200 percent of that. That is why they were able to get a 20 (Billion dollar) loan.  Thats what the agreement is and the 5.34 (Billion) is one of the installments.  It gets them on their feet. That’s why investment into the country is so important to what OUR end goal is.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   WAR ON CORRUPTION:  There is a lot of changes going on inside Iraq to stop the corruption. Abadi has brought in international help to aid with transparency and  accountability.  …Kurdistan hired Deloitte to monitor their oil sales.  One article stated that Iraq has been taken off the “Grey List” and is on the “White List” for international tax disclosure standards.  UN brought in to help with corruption.  Abadi is set to present his technocrat new ministers. This will very important to watch to see if he can finally get the GOI to approve his picks.  Getting rid of ISIS in Mosul, replacing corrupt ministers with non-political professionals, bringing in professional experts from the U.S. and the UN to stop the hemmoraging of money and establish true transparency is all going on right now.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “In Iraq, ‘all the pieces’ are now in place to take Mosul back from the Islamic State…”
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “The catastrophic corruption between banks and companies in the sale of the American Dollar is coming to an end.” NINE EXAMPLES that CORRUPTION in IRAQ is being killed:
#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).
#8 – The antiquated banking systems had to stop
#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see. I’m hearing good things from my people… [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Hutch (Dinar Guru) –   IMF report quote:  “The Board of the International Monetary Fund approved a standby credit loan SBA for a period of three years for Iraq and the rights of special drawing SDR value of 3.831 billion units (approximately: 5.34 billion, or percentage of 230%); to support the economic reform program adopted by the Iraqi government...”   That’s how the SDR works. They are allowed a percentage of their SDR deposit. Generally it is 200 percent. They have approx 10b in SDR basket, so they are allowed 200 percent of that. That is why they were able to get a 20 (Billion dollar) loan.  Thats what the agreement is and the 5.34 (Billion) is one of the installments.  It gets them on their feet. That’s why investment into the country is so important to what OUR end goal is.

Hutch (Dinar Guru) – The lottery ticket people here need to get their heads out of the gutter… Lets say its 3.86 tomorrow morning…. the thing everyone is missing is, what about it be internationally traded? What about the banking laws needed for it to survive… remember, we will need time before the banks in the US ramps up and is ready to make exchanges. Things to ponder. Its really a good thing for us to understand ALL of the inner workings of what is going on, so we can benefit from all of their hard work of rebuilding a country.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Said MP from the coalition of state law , Jassim Mohammed Jaafar, said Saturday that the prime minister Haidar al – Abbadi, adjourned the submission of candidates to the ministries after the tenth of Muharram holiday, noting that al – Abadi told the Kurds that they have candidates for the post of Minister of Finance.”  Abadi postpone the submission of candidates for the ministries … and Kurds disclose the names of candidates to the Ministry of Finance.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   …progress going on with productive talks and agreements between Abadi and Barzani. The battle plans for Mosul and post liberation agreements were made. Kirkuk oil field agreement was made last month. Abadi has stated that oil and gas law is being worked out.   …announcement of the Kurds agreeing to hire Deloitte to conduct the oversight of the oil sales is very positive.  Hopefully the Kurds agreement included their cooperation in getting the new ministers voted in and the quick passing of the needed laws.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   WAR ON CORRUPTION:  There is a lot of changes going on inside Iraq to stop the corruption. Abadi has brought in international help to aid with transparency and  accountability.  …Kurdistan hired Deloitte to monitor their oil sales.  One article stated that Iraq has been taken off the “Grey List” and is on the “White List” for international tax disclosure standards.  UN brought in to help with corruption.  Abadi is set to present his technocrat new ministers. This will very important to watch to see if he can finally get the GOI to approve his picks.  Getting rid of ISIS in Mosul, replacing corrupt ministers with non-political professionals, bringing in professional experts from the U.S. and the UN to stop the hemmoraging of money and establish true transparency is all going on right now.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “In Iraq, ‘all the pieces’ are now in place to take Mosul back from the Islamic State…”
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “The catastrophic corruption between banks and companies in the sale of the American Dollar is coming to an end.” NINE EXAMPLES that CORRUPTION in IRAQ is being killed:
#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).
#8 – The antiquated banking systems had to stop
#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see. I’m hearing good things from my people… [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Hutch (Dinar Guru) – The lottery ticket people here need to get their heads out of the gutter… Lets say its 3.86 tomorrow morning…. the thing everyone is missing is, what about it be internationally traded? What about the banking laws needed for it to survive… remember, we will need time before the banks in the US ramps up and is ready to make exchanges. Things to ponder. Its really a good thing for us to understand ALL of the inner workings of what is going on, so we can benefit from all of their hard work of rebuilding a country.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Said MP from the coalition of state law , Jassim Mohammed Jaafar, said Saturday that the prime minister Haidar al – Abbadi, adjourned the submission of candidates to the ministries after the tenth of Muharram holiday, noting that al – Abadi told the Kurds that they have candidates for the post of Minister of Finance.”  Abadi postpone the submission of candidates for the ministries … and Kurds disclose the names of candidates to the Ministry of Finance.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   …progress going on with productive talks and agreements between Abadi and Barzani. The battle plans for Mosul and post liberation agreements were made. Kirkuk oil field agreement was made last month. Abadi has stated that oil and gas law is being worked out.   …announcement of the Kurds agreeing to hire Deloitte to conduct the oversight of the oil sales is very positive.  Hopefully the Kurds agreement included their cooperation in getting the new ministers voted in and the quick passing of the needed laws.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   WAR ON CORRUPTION:  There is a lot of changes going on inside Iraq to stop the corruption. Abadi has brought in international help to aid with transparency and  accountability.  …Kurdistan hired Deloitte to monitor their oil sales.  One article stated that Iraq has been taken off the “Grey List” and is on the “White List” for international tax disclosure standards.  UN brought in to help with corruption.  Abadi is set to present his technocrat new ministers. This will very important to watch to see if he can finally get the GOI to approve his picks.  Getting rid of ISIS in Mosul, replacing corrupt ministers with non-political professionals, bringing in professional experts from the U.S. and the UN to stop the hemmoraging of money and establish true transparency is all going on right now.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “In Iraq, ‘all the pieces’ are now in place to take Mosul back from the Islamic State…”
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “The catastrophic corruption between banks and companies in the sale of the American Dollar is coming to an end.” NINE EXAMPLES that CORRUPTION in IRAQ is being killed:
#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).
#8 – The antiquated banking systems had to stop
#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see. I’m hearing good things from my people… [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.
______________________________________________________________

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

BGG ~ That was already done – a few days ago!! (not that it matters)…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Iraq went through a National Reconciliation Day…THAT WAS HUGE!!!  Do you know what that is?  That’s like our 4th of July – on that day, they told the citizens that they have plans… Abadi received the full plan for the liberation of Mosul…Mosul is eminent…  National Reconciliation Day stands for unity, and on that day there was a lot of agreement within the GOI and what they said to the citizens.  That they put up a front that IRAQ IS UNIFIED. The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   BONDS…in my opinion, it does appear that the USA will not back up the BONDS that the GOI wants to sell. Remember, back in December, the IMF told the GOI that they were going to help them – if they raised the value of their currency.  Well, here we are…upon the prepuces of the monetary reform…and Abadi saying they have done everything…well…IF… you have done everything…they get LOANS don’t they?  I have not seen the CBI website show me a new rate for the IQD.  They have not changed it officially.  DO THEY WANT THE LOANS…the 640 Million Dollar Loan.  They will get that WHEN they raise the value of their currency…and if they don’t…they won’t get the BONDS.  This is not bad news.  This is fantastic news!

Now these auctions are much, much lower. Family members of the GOI and banks in other countries have been involved in stealing money. The UN is looking at everything to help Iraq move into an International market place.  The international world is looking inside of Iraq…to help them become international.  The UN is there to provide discipline and stop the corruption…security teams with the UN are there.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   I think the barrel of oil is going to go to somewhere around $120…for about three months and then come back down to $60….they would be out of trouble at the blink of an eye…this will fuel the budget…And with ISIS not controlling oil any longer anywhere in the ME…and with the auctions now being controlled by the UN police…the days of ISIS are numbered…ISIS cannot sell any oil on the black market anymore…is this a coincidence…that the price is now going up when they are no longer in control of any oil….well would it be a coincidence if the Iraqi dinar were to go up when they are no longer in control of what they stole.  Iraq set its oil ceiling and will prop up oil prices for the international market…you know why…so they can be in line with OPEC.  [post 2 of 2]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “The catastrophic corruption between banks and companies in the sale of the American Dollar is coming to an end.” NINE EXAMPLES that CORRUPTION in IRAQ is being killed:
#1 — The policing of the United Nation groups, new laws, new banking systems being implemented.
#2 — The currency auctions are being monitored. That was the hole in the bottom of the ship.
#3 – No more false names / dead people / false companies, etc.
#4 – The USD needs to stop being used (MCP) – which has been used at the borders
#5 – No more false bills / PO’s.
#6 – No false accounts…
#7 – No more diffusion of payments to false areas (building fake parks, etc).
#8 – The antiquated banking systems had to stop
#9 – No more false passports to transport IQD out of country. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – Abadi said that the oil and gas agreement is going to take a few meetings to get everything worked out. Today’s announcement is the result of one aspect of the meeting getting worked out to everyone’s advantage. Was the RV ever going to happen without a fair system in place that the oil companies could trust? No. Two very important oil agreements have been made between Baghdad and Erbil. First was the agreement to split the disputed oil field. Then an undisclosed presumed agreement for post-ISIS Mosul. Now an independent auditor for the Kurds’ oil. This is looking very, very good for a completed oil agreement with the Kurds. [post 2 of 2]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) – I wanted to highlight today’s news that Kurdistan has hired DeLoitte to be their oversight of their oil production. This comes after Barzani and Abadi’s meetings, and directly is related to an Oil and Gas law agreement. Baghdad has to have faith in the Kurd’s oil accounting. No more under reporting oil production. No more illegal sale of oil by the Kurds. Corruption has to stop. The citizen’s share of oil has to be fairly and correctly accounted for. Bringing in Deloitte is Huge! [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – [Everyone seems to be waiting for Iraqi to RV. With China now having SDR’s, the international emphasis seems to be on Asia. What are the odds that Vietnam or some other Asian country would RV first? ] China is indeed something to watch, I’ve been paying attention to how that might affect things. So far… nothing big. And I don’t particularly think we have to worry about any other country doing something with their currency first – Iraq is very unique in it’s situation and ability to maintain a stronger rate based on their physical assets, including geographical location and natural resources.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) – ARTICLE: “Iraq has enormous economic potential” …the corruption that has choked off the monetary reforms is…being eradicated. …the US Treasury put their hands in CBI auctions. They are watching every penny. No more fictitious transfer garbage! No more paying false/dead people. No more bad trades with street vendors. That should make you and I very happy. The stolen money will now be returned. A lot of money have been stolen …and IMO…THEY WON’T GET MORE LOANS until they lift the value of their currency.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – And now let me top this all off with a little bit of sweetness… Article quote: “…Office of the Prime Minister said, that the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s share in the budget for fiscal 2017 will be resolved in the coming days.” To me, that says…BOOOOOOM! We are 3 months from the end of the year. As I mentioned earlier, they probably felt a bit of a setback from the price of oil, which didn’t stabilize where they planned on it settling. Yet they are now talking about the next budget, with concrete(ish) deadlines for specific (and important) milestones. We are already seeing signs that the full Cabinet will be listed and possibly in place – you can bet that they are MUCH further “behind closed doors” than they are letting on – but we are seeing that this progress could happen as soon as this weekend, around 8th of October…we shall see. I’m hearing good things from my people… [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – Abadi’s New Government… This could also have a major impact on the progress (or lack of) we saw over the summer, and even last month. …Abadi did a HUGE staff change…but…some of the people he wanted to throw out or move to the side have dug their heels in pretty good, and this is yet another prime reason I think we saw things slow to a crawl over the past few months.Good news: In Tomorrow or Saturday’s session, Abadi is scheduled to give the final list of the new crew…this is a GREAT step for us. The government of Iraq, under Abadi’s new leadership, has proven to be immensely more stable than any time during the previous decade. Stability of the Iraqi Dinar…as reported by multiple sources…the trading price on the Dinar has maintained stability against the USD to within a couple percentage points. In fact, one could argue that it’s perhaps one of the strongest currencies in any market…The IQD has come an incredible and extraordinary distance in the face of many challenges. We don’t think they are done surprising people. [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) – I had not hoped for much during September, but there is still a distinct glimmer of hope that we will see some action this month. Does that mean “RV”? Nobody can make that promise, but let’s talk about what we know…as we enter October: Over the summer…we saw a very disappointing DIP in the PPB (Price Per Barrel) around August. Bad news: The PPB is not at the $65 mark that Iraq set it’s budget at… Good news: Oil has came a long ways in the right direction for them, from ~$35 to the current ~$50. …an increase in the price of oil – or even a reasonable expectation of that – is good incentive for “The Iraqi Powers That Be” to flip the lid off the button and get ready to push it!

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

BGG ~ That was already done – a few days ago!! (not that it matters)…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  Is China bringing the strength that the IQD needs…or is the IQD bringing the strength to a basket that is filled with other currencies that the Chinese Yuan has just joined?  IMO – I believe that the IQD will not be put into the basket, it will be used to support the basket.  That is how powerful the IQD is.
______________________________________________________________

Jester (Dinar Guru) –  Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced the launch of the new Special Drawing Right (SDR) valuation basket including the Chinese renminbi (RMB), and the new currency amounts that will determine the value of the SDR during the new valuation period.  THE NEW SDR IS HERE!

BGG ~ That was already done – a few days ago!! (not that it matters)…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE LAW, and the NATIONAL RECONCILATION DAY…has EVERYTHING to do with the monetary reform of the IQD!  The IMF gave them BEFORE NOVEMBER…if they wanted the LOANS…and now the BONDS.  We are NOT deviating from that!  US Congress will NOT back them up until they raise the value of their currency…Iraq is following the IMF – regardless of how long it takes.  In my opinion, the GOI has less than 18 things they must accomplish.  The CBI only has one thing to do…raise the value of their currency.   Inside…in my opinion…it will be 1 to 1 with the USD…but that is a neutral event INSIDE OF IRAQ…in my opinion, the lower denoms are in position, waiting for the value to give them life.   [post 2 of 2]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Iraq went through a National Reconciliation Day…THAT WAS HUGE!!!  Do you know what that is?  That’s like our 4th of July – on that day, they told the citizens that they have plans… Abadi received the full plan for the liberation of Mosul…Mosul is eminent…  National Reconciliation Day stands for unity, and on that day there was a lot of agreement within the GOI and what they said to the citizens.  That they put up a front that IRAQ IS UNIFIED. The accountability and justice law is secondary to the amnesty laws.  You are about to see them, and they are important because it brings Iraq together.  I believe that tomorrow, Abadi’s speech will talk about that.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   All Providences are preparing themselves to deal with the INTERNATIONAL world.  …it’s no longer about terrorism. Iraq desperately wants to join the international world – but corruption is everywhere.  Who’s behind the corruption?  The ministers who have been stealing from parliament or the CBI through the auctions.  Remember, the auctions used to be between 3 to 4 Million a day? Now these auctions are much, much lower. Family members of the GOI and banks in other countries have been involved in stealing money. The UN is looking at everything to help Iraq move into an International market place.  The international world is looking inside of Iraq…to help them become international.  The UN is there to provide discipline and stop the corruption…security teams with the UN are there.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   WHAT DID SHABIBI SAY WAS MOST IMPORTANT DETERMINANT TOWARD MONETARY REFORM.   1) inflation 2) corruption?   Article quote:  “Annual inflation index in Iraq decreased slightly by 0.2%, during the period from August / August 2015 and up to the same month of 2016, while the monthly inflation index rose in August.”  So if, as Dr Shabbibi said – it’s about inflation and corruption – these things are being dealt with directly…it appears they are making direct and rapid progress as per their agreements, directives and oversight from the IMF from the summer and before.  It’s IN THE WORKS NOW!!

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Iraq woes deepen amid charges of Maliki comeback plot

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22. Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo

LONDON — Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s for­mer prime minister, has been accused of under­mining his successor, Haider al-Abadi, after allegedly engineering the dismiss­al of a second senior government minister in the space of a month.

Hoshyar Zebari, who held the fi­nance portfolio, was dismissed in a parliamentary no-confidence vote in September that he claims was both unconstitutional and political­ly motivated. Zebari, a Kurd, said he believed the vote was part of a hid­den political agenda “carried out by the State of Law parliamentary bloc, headed by Nuri al-Maliki.”

He said in a statement that parlia­mentary Speaker Salim al-Jabouri had been complicit in what Zebari described as a “vindictive, short-sighted” decision that was clearly intended to narrow political agen­das…

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Mosul HAS NOT been liberated… though it is likely a “foregone conclusion” – some time ago, astute analysts have been saying the politics would be harder than the actual “battle” itself… and it looks like they are getting very close to broad-based agreement on the subject.

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   “on par with the neighbors” — I’ve heard this one for years and there is absolutely no reason one country can value its currency at a higher rate just because another country close by is at a higher value relative to the dollar…thats like me saying well bob down the road who is a CEO of his own company just got a new mustang … I should have one too ,even though I work part time in pizza hut…with todays crazy lending policies I probably could get the loan for it in this scenario but long-term it will destroy me just like if Iraq jumped the gun and set a rate too high based on a false belief in their ability to maintain that rate or deserve it. As mentioned above the factors that affect the value of a currency cannot be overlooked or dismissed just because one might want to keep up with the jones’s (or Muhammad’s in this case) its just an ego thing. I do think some day it will be on par, now whether thats because the IQD increases in value or all out chaos engulfs the middle east and everyone else drops to Iraq’s current value I don’t  know but time will tell.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.  With all that has gone on with Iraq this year: CBI talk, banking, more oil, more gold, security, government, IMF and UN aid, etc…things are actually looking promising.  I know about your 10 cent stance, and…I was just curious if you’ve heard anything about a possible rate of 13-26 cents, like a few other middle east countries are currently valued at as well.  Just so Iraq can be ‘on par’ with some of their neighbors, and take advantage of the resources they possess or have yet to tap into.]    oil prices stable ish  — yes…gold price staying above $1,300/Oz and heading higher — I sure hope so…Iraq has plenty of both — well we know for sure they have a lot of oil, how much gold they actually have at the moment is anyones guess.  as for the rate — 1c , 10c , 50c, $50 per dinar or even the current rate, it really doesnt matter to Iraq what the rate is life continues as normal, there are 120 factors that determine the value of a currency, everything from political stability to standard of healthcare, structure of the economy and population educational levels then the usual things like reserves, natural resources, workforce participation, interest rates, banking structure and policies, inflation rates and the volume of cash in the economy etc.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”    hopefully the plan will be put in place soon so Iraq can start to create a private sector.  The dinar is key to that success.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… we’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the lull that we were in for the last few months! I think it’s clear that things are picking up pace. And that is exactly what’s happening now… I am liking the current situation.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Iraq will emerge from the gray list to the white early next year”   Quote:  “…the highest international group to monitor the money moving internationally to remove Iraq from the gray list to the white early next year, 2017…”  This is one of those articles that is so matter of fact.  There can be no confusion what the CBI is saying here.  No misunderstanding.  Here is what the IMF said in the SBA…”The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.”  We can clearly see that early 2017 the CBI plans to enter Article VIII.  This will facilitate international investment, confidence and international transactions using the dinar.  This also, IMO will be when the dinar begins to float. As already stated, the CBI plans to introduce a new 50, 100, and 200 at the same time so we can expect the dinar to improve significantly in 2017.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Abadi is trying to take his country into the future…into the international world and to do business with it…not with the program rate…the UN applauded and said bravo to Abadi…and he met with many nations…and those nations promised many things to him…why would they do that at a program rate… Article quotes:  “We Will Raise the Value of the Iraqi Dinar and it will be to Reduce Corruption by Hitting One of the Main Sources of Currency Auctions”  “To Restore Confidence in Iraq Currency Retreating…”   IMO I think…that Mosul is so very close to us…because of that I believe now they want to talk to you about the Monetary Reform of the Iraqi dinar…and that is good.  There was another article…dealing with the Monetary Reforms and they said…we the Finance Committee, suggested that the best thing for us to do is to create a float…our exchange rate...once again another example within 48 hours of Abadi coming back from NYC and DC you see a lot of talk about the Monetary Reform.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …we were…looking at the fact that Abadi was in Washington, DC…he left early…he actually left Thursday…and he was in Iraq Friday morning and…that to us was very significant…I think the most important reason is why did he come back…because the cockroaches were once again trying to mess with the GOI…the biggest issue IMO was to deal with Maliki…and Maliki’s son…But he has been caught with all the millions that he stole…this evidence is being piled up against Maliki and his son that is dealing with corruption…United Nations also says to Abadi…we are going to come with you too…why did they come to Iraq with Abadi…I guess it is because they are dealing with corruption not terrorism.  That is huge…all of the bad people we see over there are being dealt with right now...it is the root of corruption that the UN is now over there dealing with…and Abadi is right there dealing with them...Abadi is not targeting Maliki…that would be politically dangerous…but Abadi is allowing the UN to come and do the corruption clean up…in fact the US Treasury is there too…why…because the UST and the UN are both there now monitoring the CBI auctions…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”  Quote:  “Economist banks Rahim al-Adli suggested to the Central Bank of Iraq and the government “unrestricted flotation” Adoption in the auction currency instead of “limiting factor” that determines a fixed exchange rate to the dollar price…”    This is the plan, but they must create the conditions first by passing laws, etc. so investment comes in and the dinar appreciates.  If they do it now, the dinar may devalue..which we do not want.

Period.  With VERY GOOD REASON.  Abadi’s PM “brand” is HUGE right now…he’s moving Iraq forward mightily…they are moving with great speed.  I think the future looks very bright for Iraq.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

firefly (Dinar Guru) –  Nobody seems to be talking about the UN meeting…With Abadi and Iraq.  Big is putting it mildly.   All I will say is it coincides with the previous G20 meeting in China.  Also …. Zebari is going NOWHERE!

BGG ~ Really?? NOWHERE!?!

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Hussain urged the government to sign more agreements air with other countries, especially that Iraq is on the verge of commercial traffic and open its market to foreign capital…”  IRAQ ON VERGE OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC AND OPEN ITS MARKET TO FOREIGN CAPITAL… BOULYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Right from the IMF letter of intent/ MEFP/TMU (see below)…

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari”  “Jubouri: We will respect the Federal Court ‘s decision on answers Zebari”   Quote:  “House of Representatives voted to dismiss Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari on the background of corruption charges”  Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari…Which is – (all of their pursuit of corruption) – one of the key points the IMF has made to them… they HAVE TO DEAL with it…they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…  Quote:  “…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”   …they are responding to their IMF supervision.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Iraq Stock Exchange launches instructions online trading system for investors”  Quote:  “…the market identified instructed disclosures required of brokerage firms, which contain procedures to disclose the risks associated with an investment models dealing with investors (Know Your Customer KYC), and commissions that Satkadaha mediator, as well as the requirements are carried out by investors to agree to their trading via the Internet…”  this is a very good article and yet another reminder of the progress Iraq has and is making. Investors vetted via KYC and having access to easily trade electronically are huge foundational necessities for both public and private investment.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   “on par with the neighbors” — I’ve heard this one for years and there is absolutely no reason one country can value its currency at a higher rate just because another country close by is at a higher value relative to the dollar…thats like me saying well bob down the road who is a CEO of his own company just got a new mustang … I should have one too ,even though I work part time in pizza hut…with todays crazy lending policies I probably could get the loan for it in this scenario but long-term it will destroy me just like if Iraq jumped the gun and set a rate too high based on a false belief in their ability to maintain that rate or deserve it. As mentioned above the factors that affect the value of a currency cannot be overlooked or dismissed just because one might want to keep up with the jones’s (or Muhammad’s in this case) its just an ego thing. I do think some day it will be on par, now whether thats because the IQD increases in value or all out chaos engulfs the middle east and everyone else drops to Iraq’s current value I don’t  know but time will tell.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.  With all that has gone on with Iraq this year: CBI talk, banking, more oil, more gold, security, government, IMF and UN aid, etc…things are actually looking promising.  I know about your 10 cent stance, and…I was just curious if you’ve heard anything about a possible rate of 13-26 cents, like a few other middle east countries are currently valued at as well.  Just so Iraq can be ‘on par’ with some of their neighbors, and take advantage of the resources they possess or have yet to tap into.]    oil prices stable ish  — yes…gold price staying above $1,300/Oz and heading higher — I sure hope so…Iraq has plenty of both — well we know for sure they have a lot of oil, how much gold they actually have at the moment is anyones guess.  as for the rate — 1c , 10c , 50c, $50 per dinar or even the current rate, it really doesnt matter to Iraq what the rate is life continues as normal, there are 120 factors that determine the value of a currency, everything from political stability to standard of healthcare, structure of the economy and population educational levels then the usual things like reserves, natural resources, workforce participation, interest rates, banking structure and policies, inflation rates and the volume of cash in the economy etc.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed an agreement today in Erbil with the Ministry of Planning of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to establish a new Funding Facility for Economic Reform (FFER).”   Notice how the UN and it’s various departments seem to all of a sudden be falling all over Iraq in attempts to help them….what pray tell might be coming from all this new found assistance.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”    hopefully the plan will be put in place soon so Iraq can start to create a private sector.  The dinar is key to that success.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… we’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the lull that we were in for the last few months! I think it’s clear that things are picking up pace. And that is exactly what’s happening now… I am liking the current situation.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Iraq will emerge from the gray list to the white early next year”   Quote:  “…the highest international group to monitor the money moving internationally to remove Iraq from the gray list to the white early next year, 2017…”  This is one of those articles that is so matter of fact.  There can be no confusion what the CBI is saying here.  No misunderstanding.  Here is what the IMF said in the SBA…”The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.”  We can clearly see that early 2017 the CBI plans to enter Article VIII.  This will facilitate international investment, confidence and international transactions using the dinar.  This also, IMO will be when the dinar begins to float. As already stated, the CBI plans to introduce a new 50, 100, and 200 at the same time so we can expect the dinar to improve significantly in 2017.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Abadi is trying to take his country into the future…into the international world and to do business with it…not with the program rate…the UN applauded and said bravo to Abadi…and he met with many nations…and those nations promised many things to him…why would they do that at a program rate… Article quotes:  “We Will Raise the Value of the Iraqi Dinar and it will be to Reduce Corruption by Hitting One of the Main Sources of Currency Auctions”  “To Restore Confidence in Iraq Currency Retreating…”   IMO I think…that Mosul is so very close to us…because of that I believe now they want to talk to you about the Monetary Reform of the Iraqi dinar…and that is good.  There was another article…dealing with the Monetary Reforms and they said…we the Finance Committee, suggested that the best thing for us to do is to create a float…our exchange rate...once again another example within 48 hours of Abadi coming back from NYC and DC you see a lot of talk about the Monetary Reform.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …we were…looking at the fact that Abadi was in Washington, DC…he left early…he actually left Thursday…and he was in Iraq Friday morning and…that to us was very significant…I think the most important reason is why did he come back…because the cockroaches were once again trying to mess with the GOI…the biggest issue IMO was to deal with Maliki…and Maliki’s son…But he has been caught with all the millions that he stole…this evidence is being piled up against Maliki and his son that is dealing with corruption…United Nations also says to Abadi…we are going to come with you too…why did they come to Iraq with Abadi…I guess it is because they are dealing with corruption not terrorism.  That is huge…all of the bad people we see over there are being dealt with right now...it is the root of corruption that the UN is now over there dealing with…and Abadi is right there dealing with them...Abadi is not targeting Maliki…that would be politically dangerous…but Abadi is allowing the UN to come and do the corruption clean up…in fact the US Treasury is there too…why…because the UST and the UN are both there now monitoring the CBI auctions…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”  Quote:  “Economist banks Rahim al-Adli suggested to the Central Bank of Iraq and the government “unrestricted flotation” Adoption in the auction currency instead of “limiting factor” that determines a fixed exchange rate to the dollar price…”    This is the plan, but they must create the conditions first by passing laws, etc. so investment comes in and the dinar appreciates.  If they do it now, the dinar may devalue..which we do not want.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq to the whitelist financially”  it is clear to me that this is all do to the workings of the IMF in the background.  I am actually beginning to think that the IMF may accomplish its goal which is to bring Iraq into the world market by early next year.  This is something that Iraq alone could not do but we are seeing small pieces of the puzzle coming together on a more and more regular basis ever since the IMF made its promise.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   it appears attacking the corrupt was one of the VITAL items on a short list that the IMF has been insisting on…It appears to me…the GOI is responding to the IMF, WB and UN – though they aren’t entirely happy about it…however, if they want “international acceptance”, they have little choice. They must respond…Iraq has been under some version of an “IMPOSED RATE” since when?  [2003.]   it’s not even an accurate value – “Grossly undervalued” is the term used by learned economists…SO – it stands to reason they are going to have to appease those who “IMPOSED” this rate to start with… and THAT, my friends, is what we are seeing play out before our very eyes…those same actors that “imposed” can “unimpose” – it appears they have made this point very clear.  Iraq is about IRAQ.  Nothing else – AND it is the hottest topic in world finance right now. Period.  With VERY GOOD REASON.  Abadi’s PM “brand” is HUGE right now…he’s moving Iraq forward mightily…they are moving with great speed.  I think the future looks very bright for Iraq.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Right from the IMF letter of intent/ MEFP/TMU (see below)…

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari”  “Jubouri: We will respect the Federal Court ‘s decision on answers Zebari”   Quote:  “House of Representatives voted to dismiss Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari on the background of corruption charges”  Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari…Which is – (all of their pursuit of corruption) – one of the key points the IMF has made to them… they HAVE TO DEAL with it…they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…  Quote:  “…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”   …they are responding to their IMF supervision.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Iraq Stock Exchange launches instructions online trading system for investors”  Quote:  “…the market identified instructed disclosures required of brokerage firms, which contain procedures to disclose the risks associated with an investment models dealing with investors (Know Your Customer KYC), and commissions that Satkadaha mediator, as well as the requirements are carried out by investors to agree to their trading via the Internet…”  this is a very good article and yet another reminder of the progress Iraq has and is making. Investors vetted via KYC and having access to easily trade electronically are huge foundational necessities for both public and private investment.

Yuan joins IMF’s elite reserve currency club in a milestone moment for China

Image result for yuan pics

The yuan becomes the fifth member of the prestigious SDR basket on Saturday, but more reforms are needed before it is a freely traded currency, say analysts

China’s yuan joins an elite group of reserve currencies created by the International Monetary Fund on Saturday in a move hailed as a milestone in the country’s rise to global financial prominence.

From tomorrow, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will become the fifth member of the IMF’s prestigious Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket of currencies, alongside the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen and British pound.

Analysts say it marks the beginning of a new era for the yuan, paving the way for its wider adoption in international trade and bolstering China’s status as a key player in the global financial system…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   “on par with the neighbors” — I’ve heard this one for years and there is absolutely no reason one country can value its currency at a higher rate just because another country close by is at a higher value relative to the dollar…thats like me saying well bob down the road who is a CEO of his own company just got a new mustang … I should have one too ,even though I work part time in pizza hut…with todays crazy lending policies I probably could get the loan for it in this scenario but long-term it will destroy me just like if Iraq jumped the gun and set a rate too high based on a false belief in their ability to maintain that rate or deserve it. As mentioned above the factors that affect the value of a currency cannot be overlooked or dismissed just because one might want to keep up with the jones’s (or Muhammad’s in this case) its just an ego thing. I do think some day it will be on par, now whether thats because the IQD increases in value or all out chaos engulfs the middle east and everyone else drops to Iraq’s current value I don’t  know but time will tell.   [post 2 of 2]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.  With all that has gone on with Iraq this year: CBI talk, banking, more oil, more gold, security, government, IMF and UN aid, etc…things are actually looking promising.  I know about your 10 cent stance, and…I was just curious if you’ve heard anything about a possible rate of 13-26 cents, like a few other middle east countries are currently valued at as well.  Just so Iraq can be ‘on par’ with some of their neighbors, and take advantage of the resources they possess or have yet to tap into.]    oil prices stable ish  — yes…gold price staying above $1,300/Oz and heading higher — I sure hope so…Iraq has plenty of both — well we know for sure they have a lot of oil, how much gold they actually have at the moment is anyones guess.  as for the rate — 1c , 10c , 50c, $50 per dinar or even the current rate, it really doesnt matter to Iraq what the rate is life continues as normal, there are 120 factors that determine the value of a currency, everything from political stability to standard of healthcare, structure of the economy and population educational levels then the usual things like reserves, natural resources, workforce participation, interest rates, banking structure and policies, inflation rates and the volume of cash in the economy etc.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”    hopefully the plan will be put in place soon so Iraq can start to create a private sector.  The dinar is key to that success.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… we’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the lull that we were in for the last few months! I think it’s clear that things are picking up pace. And that is exactly what’s happening now… I am liking the current situation.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Iraq will emerge from the gray list to the white early next year”   Quote:  “…the highest international group to monitor the money moving internationally to remove Iraq from the gray list to the white early next year, 2017…”  This is one of those articles that is so matter of fact.  There can be no confusion what the CBI is saying here.  No misunderstanding.  Here is what the IMF said in the SBA…”The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.”  We can clearly see that early 2017 the CBI plans to enter Article VIII.  This will facilitate international investment, confidence and international transactions using the dinar.  This also, IMO will be when the dinar begins to float. As already stated, the CBI plans to introduce a new 50, 100, and 200 at the same time so we can expect the dinar to improve significantly in 2017.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …we were…looking at the fact that Abadi was in Washington, DC…he left early…he actually left Thursday…and he was in Iraq Friday morning and…that to us was very significant…I think the most important reason is why did he come back…because the cockroaches were once again trying to mess with the GOI…the biggest issue IMO was to deal with Maliki…and Maliki’s son…But he has been caught with all the millions that he stole…this evidence is being piled up against Maliki and his son that is dealing with corruption…United Nations also says to Abadi…we are going to come with you too…why did they come to Iraq with Abadi…I guess it is because they are dealing with corruption not terrorism.  That is huge…all of the bad people we see over there are being dealt with right now...it is the root of corruption that the UN is now over there dealing with…and Abadi is right there dealing with them...Abadi is not targeting Maliki…that would be politically dangerous…but Abadi is allowing the UN to come and do the corruption clean up…in fact the US Treasury is there too…why…because the UST and the UN are both there now monitoring the CBI auctions…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Rise in the market value of companies in the stock market”  Quote:  “Mustafa al – Hashimi  headed Iraq Stock Exchange to contract with one of the Arab corporate systems and programming for increased activation of the trading process through Alanturnt.ozkr weekly report of the Stock Exchange, seen by the «morning» he hoped the signing of the Convention in October next month and that the service is launching in quarter the first of the year 2017.”    THE ONLINE TRADING PLATFORM…THE SERVICE WILL BE LAUNCHED IN 1ST QUARTER 2017…AND THE ISX IS ALREADY REACTING IN ANTICIPATION…

SteveI (Dinar Guru) –   …sit back, relax and let this darn frustrating investment come to you. Follow the money and you will see that Iraq is going to be one heck of a powerhouse in the global market.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Rise in the market value of companies in the stock market”   they are working towards opening an “online” version of the ISX… does any of this look like they are delaying ANYTHING?  …and just a quick note…several years ago – a BILLIONAIRE friend of mine told me directly – the ISX will produce more new millionaires than the currency does…when they open that up – it’s ON!! Sisi let the “cat out of the bag” the other day…Egypt is going through much of the same stuff with the IMF…he plainly said “they would revalue their currency before the end of 2016″…Iraq is way ahead of them.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   …VND, ZIM, Rial and all the other HOAXES out there…what makes Iraq (and their situation) different from all these others?  how many of these countries have met with ALL THE OTHER WORLD LEADERS in the last 48 hours…how many of them had some kind of “top billing” at the recent IMF summit?  how many of them met with the President of the United States?  how many of them have this kind of economic future?  how many of these other countries are like Iraq?  NONE.  Not one…VASTLY different scenarios.  BTW – all of the stuff I mention about Iraq VS any other country “devaluing” has happened in the last 48 hrs!! Meetings, that’s just the last couple of days – so what makes Iraq different?? EVERYTHING!!!

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “UNDP announces send anti – corruption investigators to Iraq next week”   THE UN INVESTIGATORS TO FIGHT CORRUPTION ARRIVE IN IRAQ NEXT WEEK…JUST AS THE IMF ORDERED…CAN YOU SAY STABILITY.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   it appears attacking the corrupt was one of the VITAL items on a short list that the IMF has been insisting on…It appears to me…the GOI is responding to the IMF, WB and UN – though they aren’t entirely happy about it…however, if they want “international acceptance”, they have little choice. They must respond…Iraq has been under some version of an “IMPOSED RATE” since when?  [2003.]   it’s not even an accurate value – “Grossly undervalued” is the term used by learned economists…SO – it stands to reason they are going to have to appease those who “IMPOSED” this rate to start with… and THAT, my friends, is what we are seeing play out before our very eyes…those same actors that “imposed” can “unimpose” – it appears they have made this point very clear.  Iraq is about IRAQ.  Nothing else – AND it is the hottest topic in world finance right now. Period.  With VERY GOOD REASON.  Abadi’s PM “brand” is HUGE right now…he’s moving Iraq forward mightily…they are moving with great speed.  I think the future looks very bright for Iraq.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

SteveI (Dinar Guru) – You get Mosul completely done, move the army to the border, and then finally great times ahead for all.
______________________________________________________________

firefly (Dinar Guru) –  Nobody seems to be talking about the UN meeting…With Abadi and Iraq.  Big is putting it mildly.   All I will say is it coincides with the previous G20 meeting in China.  Also …. Zebari is going NOWHERE!

BGG ~ Really?? NOWHERE!?!

______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Hussain urged the government to sign more agreements air with other countries, especially that Iraq is on the verge of commercial traffic and open its market to foreign capital…”  IRAQ ON VERGE OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC AND OPEN ITS MARKET TO FOREIGN CAPITAL… BOULYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Rcookie: ” WOW WOW WOW WOW!!” ” Just saw the Parliament agenda for tomorrow (today – Thurs). 1st item on agenda… INSERT DRUM ROLL.!!!! 1st reading Financial Management Law.

BOULYAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right from the IMF letter of intent/ MEFP/TMU (see below)…

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari”  “Jubouri: We will respect the Federal Court ‘s decision on answers Zebari”   Quote:  “House of Representatives voted to dismiss Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari on the background of corruption charges”  Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari…Which is – (all of their pursuit of corruption) – one of the key points the IMF has made to them… they HAVE TO DEAL with it…they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…  Quote:  “…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”   …they are responding to their IMF supervision.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Iraq Stock Exchange launches instructions online trading system for investors”  Quote:  “…the market identified instructed disclosures required of brokerage firms, which contain procedures to disclose the risks associated with an investment models dealing with investors (Know Your Customer KYC), and commissions that Satkadaha mediator, as well as the requirements are carried out by investors to agree to their trading via the Internet…”  this is a very good article and yet another reminder of the progress Iraq has and is making. Investors vetted via KYC and having access to easily trade electronically are huge foundational necessities for both public and private investment.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   “on par with the neighbors” — I’ve heard this one for years and there is absolutely no reason one country can value its currency at a higher rate just because another country close by is at a higher value relative to the dollar…thats like me saying well bob down the road who is a CEO of his own company just got a new mustang … I should have one too ,even though I work part time in pizza hut…with todays crazy lending policies I probably could get the loan for it in this scenario but long-term it will destroy me just like if Iraq jumped the gun and set a rate too high based on a false belief in their ability to maintain that rate or deserve it. As mentioned above the factors that affect the value of a currency cannot be overlooked or dismissed just because one might want to keep up with the jones’s (or Muhammad’s in this case) its just an ego thing. I do think some day it will be on par, now whether thats because the IQD increases in value or all out chaos engulfs the middle east and everyone else drops to Iraq’s current value I don’t  know but time will tell.   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.  With all that has gone on with Iraq this year: CBI talk, banking, more oil, more gold, security, government, IMF and UN aid, etc…things are actually looking promising.  I know about your 10 cent stance, and…I was just curious if you’ve heard anything about a possible rate of 13-26 cents, like a few other middle east countries are currently valued at as well.  Just so Iraq can be ‘on par’ with some of their neighbors, and take advantage of the resources they possess or have yet to tap into.]    oil prices stable ish  — yes…gold price staying above $1,300/Oz and heading higher — I sure hope so…Iraq has plenty of both — well we know for sure they have a lot of oil, how much gold they actually have at the moment is anyones guess.  as for the rate — 1c , 10c , 50c, $50 per dinar or even the current rate, it really doesnt matter to Iraq what the rate is life continues as normal, there are 120 factors that determine the value of a currency, everything from political stability to standard of healthcare, structure of the economy and population educational levels then the usual things like reserves, natural resources, workforce participation, interest rates, banking structure and policies, inflation rates and the volume of cash in the economy etc.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed an agreement today in Erbil with the Ministry of Planning of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to establish a new Funding Facility for Economic Reform (FFER).”   Notice how the UN and it’s various departments seem to all of a sudden be falling all over Iraq in attempts to help them….what pray tell might be coming from all this new found assistance.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”    hopefully the plan will be put in place soon so Iraq can start to create a private sector.  The dinar is key to that success.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… we’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the lull that we were in for the last few months! I think it’s clear that things are picking up pace. And that is exactly what’s happening now… I am liking the current situation.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Iraq will emerge from the gray list to the white early next year”   Quote:  “…the highest international group to monitor the money moving internationally to remove Iraq from the gray list to the white early next year, 2017…”  This is one of those articles that is so matter of fact.  There can be no confusion what the CBI is saying here.  No misunderstanding.  Here is what the IMF said in the SBA…”The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.”  We can clearly see that early 2017 the CBI plans to enter Article VIII.  This will facilitate international investment, confidence and international transactions using the dinar.  This also, IMO will be when the dinar begins to float. As already stated, the CBI plans to introduce a new 50, 100, and 200 at the same time so we can expect the dinar to improve significantly in 2017.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Abadi is trying to take his country into the future…into the international world and to do business with it…not with the program rate…the UN applauded and said bravo to Abadi…and he met with many nations…and those nations promised many things to him…why would they do that at a program rate… Article quotes:  “We Will Raise the Value of the Iraqi Dinar and it will be to Reduce Corruption by Hitting One of the Main Sources of Currency Auctions”  “To Restore Confidence in Iraq Currency Retreating…”   IMO I think…that Mosul is so very close to us…because of that I believe now they want to talk to you about the Monetary Reform of the Iraqi dinar…and that is good.  There was another article…dealing with the Monetary Reforms and they said…we the Finance Committee, suggested that the best thing for us to do is to create a float…our exchange rate...once again another example within 48 hours of Abadi coming back from NYC and DC you see a lot of talk about the Monetary Reform.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …we were…looking at the fact that Abadi was in Washington, DC…he left early…he actually left Thursday…and he was in Iraq Friday morning and…that to us was very significant…I think the most important reason is why did he come back…because the cockroaches were once again trying to mess with the GOI…the biggest issue IMO was to deal with Maliki…and Maliki’s son…But he has been caught with all the millions that he stole…this evidence is being piled up against Maliki and his son that is dealing with corruption…United Nations also says to Abadi…we are going to come with you too…why did they come to Iraq with Abadi…I guess it is because they are dealing with corruption not terrorism.  That is huge…all of the bad people we see over there are being dealt with right now...it is the root of corruption that the UN is now over there dealing with…and Abadi is right there dealing with them...Abadi is not targeting Maliki…that would be politically dangerous…but Abadi is allowing the UN to come and do the corruption clean up…in fact the US Treasury is there too…why…because the UST and the UN are both there now monitoring the CBI auctions…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”  Quote:  “Economist banks Rahim al-Adli suggested to the Central Bank of Iraq and the government “unrestricted flotation” Adoption in the auction currency instead of “limiting factor” that determines a fixed exchange rate to the dollar price…”    This is the plan, but they must create the conditions first by passing laws, etc. so investment comes in and the dinar appreciates.  If they do it now, the dinar may devalue..which we do not want.

______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Urgent parliament obliging the government 10 days the progress of modifying the 2016 budget law”  [why do the need to modify the 2016 budget?]  I suspect they have some “house keeping” to get in order at the “behest” of the IMF… I know they have some missing line item things in the 2017 budget they have to get fixed as well… (about 12 billion worth of oil expense – from the sounds of it – IMF “no likey”… ).

______________________________________________________________

firefly (Dinar Guru) –   “Law No. (27) for the year 2016 general amnesty Arabic Original Document 26 Sep 2016”  From the Iraq Local Law and Governance Library folks!  In Print now.  It is now Law.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  [The Investment Law…is a pretty direct law, any idea what “tweaks” need to be done?]   I am not exactly positive about what they are doing with it – but it appears they will make adjustments to an existing law to satisfy international pressures… and by all indications – it will happen soon. Probably one of the final pieces to the puzzle.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   […is the big event that is supposed to happen by November 1 something that we will be a part of…or will it only be for Iraq, as when they went international in July, but was only for them?]  Have said many time IMO RI is now with RV in 2017.   How can one complain on that opinion? Have also given..two reasons why these seem to have been put ahead of it’s schedule.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq to the whitelist financially”  it is clear to me that this is all do to the workings of the IMF in the background.  I am actually beginning to think that the IMF may accomplish its goal which is to bring Iraq into the world market by early next year.  This is something that Iraq alone could not do but we are seeing small pieces of the puzzle coming together on a more and more regular basis ever since the IMF made its promise.
______________________________________________________________

Stryker (Dinar Guru) –   Article of the Day!!!  “Iraq expects to move to the white list financially early 2017”
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    Article quote:   “…he said Hafiz said the deal is going on in economic circles on the text submitted an analysis of the budget in 2017 to be taken into account fundamental issues in dispute , particularly the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar…”   they are in the middle of making some final “re-workings” on the 2017 budget… one of them sounds like some different exchange rate…which is weird… how can they “decide” what the price of oil will be – or their exchange rate… unless they already know.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

firefly (Dinar Guru) –  Nobody seems to be talking about the UN meeting…With Abadi and Iraq.  Big is putting it mildly.   All I will say is it coincides with the previous G20 meeting in China.  Also …. Zebari is going NOWHERE!

BGG ~ Really?? NOWHERE!?!

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Hussain urged the government to sign more agreements air with other countries, especially that Iraq is on the verge of commercial traffic and open its market to foreign capital…”  IRAQ ON VERGE OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC AND OPEN ITS MARKET TO FOREIGN CAPITAL… BOULYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Rcookie: ” WOW WOW WOW WOW!!” ” Just saw the Parliament agenda for tomorrow (today – Thurs). 1st item on agenda… INSERT DRUM ROLL.!!!! 1st reading Financial Management Law.

BOULYAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right from the IMF letter of intent/ MEFP/TMU (see below)…

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari”  “Jubouri: We will respect the Federal Court ‘s decision on answers Zebari”   Quote:  “House of Representatives voted to dismiss Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari on the background of corruption charges”  Parliament dismisses Hoshyar Zebari…Which is – (all of their pursuit of corruption) – one of the key points the IMF has made to them… they HAVE TO DEAL with it…they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…  Quote:  “…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”   …they are responding to their IMF supervision.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Iraq Stock Exchange launches instructions online trading system for investors”  Quote:  “…the market identified instructed disclosures required of brokerage firms, which contain procedures to disclose the risks associated with an investment models dealing with investors (Know Your Customer KYC), and commissions that Satkadaha mediator, as well as the requirements are carried out by investors to agree to their trading via the Internet…”  this is a very good article and yet another reminder of the progress Iraq has and is making. Investors vetted via KYC and having access to easily trade electronically are huge foundational necessities for both public and private investment.

*** Current News ***

______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”    hopefully the plan will be put in place soon so Iraq can start to create a private sector.  The dinar is key to that success.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… we’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the lull that we were in for the last few months! I think it’s clear that things are picking up pace. And that is exactly what’s happening now… I am liking the current situation.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central bank: Iraq will emerge from the gray list to the white early next year”   Quote:  “…the highest international group to monitor the money moving internationally to remove Iraq from the gray list to the white early next year, 2017…”  This is one of those articles that is so matter of fact.  There can be no confusion what the CBI is saying here.  No misunderstanding.  Here is what the IMF said in the SBA…”The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.”  We can clearly see that early 2017 the CBI plans to enter Article VIII.  This will facilitate international investment, confidence and international transactions using the dinar.  This also, IMO will be when the dinar begins to float. As already stated, the CBI plans to introduce a new 50, 100, and 200 at the same time so we can expect the dinar to improve significantly in 2017.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Abadi is trying to take his country into the future…into the international world and to do business with it…not with the program rate…the UN applauded and said bravo to Abadi…and he met with many nations…and those nations promised many things to him…why would they do that at a program rate… Article quotes:  “We Will Raise the Value of the Iraqi Dinar and it will be to Reduce Corruption by Hitting One of the Main Sources of Currency Auctions”  “To Restore Confidence in Iraq Currency Retreating…”   IMO I think…that Mosul is so very close to us…because of that I believe now they want to talk to you about the Monetary Reform of the Iraqi dinar…and that is good.  There was another article…dealing with the Monetary Reforms and they said…we the Finance Committee, suggested that the best thing for us to do is to create a float…our exchange rate...once again another example within 48 hours of Abadi coming back from NYC and DC you see a lot of talk about the Monetary Reform.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …we were…looking at the fact that Abadi was in Washington, DC…he left early…he actually left Thursday…and he was in Iraq Friday morning and…that to us was very significant…I think the most important reason is why did he come back…because the cockroaches were once again trying to mess with the GOI…the biggest issue IMO was to deal with Maliki…and Maliki’s son…But he has been caught with all the millions that he stole…this evidence is being piled up against Maliki and his son that is dealing with corruption…United Nations also says to Abadi…we are going to come with you too…why did they come to Iraq with Abadi…I guess it is because they are dealing with corruption not terrorism.  That is huge…all of the bad people we see over there are being dealt with right now...it is the root of corruption that the UN is now over there dealing with…and Abadi is right there dealing with them...Abadi is not targeting Maliki…that would be politically dangerous…but Abadi is allowing the UN to come and do the corruption clean up…in fact the US Treasury is there too…why…because the UST and the UN are both there now monitoring the CBI auctions…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Float the Iraqi dinar economic phenomenon that will support the national currency”  Quote:  “Economist banks Rahim al-Adli suggested to the Central Bank of Iraq and the government “unrestricted flotation” Adoption in the auction currency instead of “limiting factor” that determines a fixed exchange rate to the dollar price…”    This is the plan, but they must create the conditions first by passing laws, etc. so investment comes in and the dinar appreciates.  If they do it now, the dinar may devalue..which we do not want.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq to the whitelist financially”  it is clear to me that this is all do to the workings of the IMF in the background.  I am actually beginning to think that the IMF may accomplish its goal which is to bring Iraq into the world market by early next year.  This is something that Iraq alone could not do but we are seeing small pieces of the puzzle coming together on a more and more regular basis ever since the IMF made its promise.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

firefly (Dinar Guru) –  Nobody seems to be talking about the UN meeting…With Abadi and Iraq.  Big is putting it mildly.   All I will say is it coincides with the previous G20 meeting in China.  Also …. Zebari is going NOWHERE!

BGG ~ Really?? NOWHERE!?!

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article: “Iraq Stock Exchange launches instructions online trading system for investors”  Quote:  “…the market identified instructed disclosures required of brokerage firms, which contain procedures to disclose the risks associated with an investment models dealing with investors (Know Your Customer KYC), and commissions that Satkadaha mediator, as well as the requirements are carried out by investors to agree to their trading via the Internet…”  this is a very good article and yet another reminder of the progress Iraq has and is making. Investors vetted via KYC and having access to easily trade electronically are huge foundational necessities for both public and private investment.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  [The Investment Law…is a pretty direct law, any idea what “tweaks” need to be done?]   I am not exactly positive about what they are doing with it – but it appears they will make adjustments to an existing law to satisfy international pressures… and by all indications – it will happen soon. Probably one of the final pieces to the puzzle.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Iraq to the whitelist financially”  it is clear to me that this is all do to the workings of the IMF in the background.  I am actually beginning to think that the IMF may accomplish its goal which is to bring Iraq into the world market by early next year.  This is something that Iraq alone could not do but we are seeing small pieces of the puzzle coming together on a more and more regular basis ever since the IMF made its promise.

And direct investment means the movement warheads global funds for the development of economic sectors achieve economic feasibility for all involved in the implementation of projects parties economic.

Meetings, that’s just the last couple of days – so what makes Iraq different?? EVERYTHING!!!

______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   it appears attacking the corrupt was one of the VITAL items on a short list that the IMF has been insisting on…It appears to me…the GOI is responding to the IMF, WB and UN – though they aren’t entirely happy about it…however, if they want “international acceptance”, they have little choice. They must respond…Iraq has been under some version of an “IMPOSED RATE” since when?  [2003.]   it’s not even an accurate value – “Grossly undervalued” is the term used by learned economists…SO – it stands to reason they are going to have to appease those who “IMPOSED” this rate to start with… and THAT, my friends, is what we are seeing play out before our very eyes…those same actors that “imposed” can “unimpose” – it appears they have made this point very clear.  Iraq is about IRAQ.  Nothing else – AND it is the hottest topic in world finance right now. Period.  With VERY GOOD REASON.  Abadi’s PM “brand” is HUGE right now…he’s moving Iraq forward mightily…they are moving with great speed.  I think the future looks very bright for Iraq.

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

SteveI (Dinar Guru) – You get Mosul completely done, move the army to the border, and then finally great times ahead for all.

firefly (Dinar Guru) –  Nobody seems to be talking about the UN meeting…With Abadi and Iraq.  Big is putting it mildly.   All I will say is it coincides with the previous G20 meeting in China.  Also …. Zebari is going NOWHERE!

BGG ~ Really?? NOWHERE!?!

______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  Article quote:  “Hussain urged the government to sign more agreements air with other countries, especially that Iraq is on the verge of commercial traffic and open its market to foreign capital…”  IRAQ ON VERGE OF COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC AND OPEN ITS MARKET TO FOREIGN CAPITAL… BOULYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    So, in summary, the “paying” for your exchange is passed on and the only entity that would ultimately lose money out of pocket per se would be the investor who was holding the dinar at the time if it would crash in value. This general rule applies in all levels of investment — buying low and selling high. We just get the benefit of the biggest jump in the difference of the two!  To that point, I personally plan on initially exchanging a certain percentage of my dinar and holding on to the remaining with the hopes of an even greater gain further down the road.   [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   As far as who “pays” for the increase, we can’t look at currency exchange as a finite transaction, a “one-and-done” if you will. Rather, it’s an ongoing transaction…
1. You bought the dinar at a low rate (this is the part of investment where the investor makes their money….on the low buy)
2. The value grows (this is driven by the market and no transaction happens in this step)
3. You sell your dinar (you get the gain and the exchanging bank deposits the USD in your account after verifying)
4. The exchanging bank exchanges the dinar with the dealer (thus balancing their “paying” for the initial exchange)
​5. The dealer resells the dinar at the current rate (thus balancing their “paying” for the exchange bank’s exchange)
6. The new buyer of the dinar ultimately “paid” for your initial exchange but they also hold the dinar at the new value and can exchange it again as the rate increases. Once they do, they balance what they “paid” for their purchase plus gained a bit since they chose to trade…and on and on it goes from here.    [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   [Who pays for the delta/increase between the current rate and the increased rate we hope to receive?]  When you exchange your dinar for USD, the bank will verify the authenticity of the currency (either internally or with a vendor) and once the transaction is complete, the bank DOES NOT hold onto it but rather will exchange it again to USD with a foreign exchange dealer in what is referred to as the interbank market. The bank will set the rate based on the market and demand and will of course take their cut (spread). The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels with few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.  If you sell your dinar back to the broker you purchased it from, they will exchange with a large bank and the above process takes place the same.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   Here’s another little thing for you…even when the value goes from an RI into an RV…yes the dinar will be a dinar inside the country…but it is going to explode in our hands…supply and demand… internationally…
______________________________________________________________

My Ladies (Dinar Guru) –   POLICY AND LAWS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE SUSTAINABLE IRAQ, THAT’S A FACT…WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THE CONNECTION IRAQ CAN MAKE TO THE EXTERNAL FINANCIAL HUB. NOW DOES IT MATTER IF THE DINAR IS ELECTRONIC OR IN PAPER FORM? NO NOT AT ALL, BECAUSE ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE SETTLED DIGITALLY.  NO ONE IS CHARGED WITH THE JOB OF MOVING CURRENCY FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY IN A WHEEL BARROW IT IS ALL DONE ELECTRONICALLY.  WHEN IRAQ TALKS ABOUT THE E-DINAR THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A CONNECTION TO THE EXTERNAL HUB.   …THE DINAR WILL TRADE…IT IS A FACT AND IS NECESSARY ACCORDING TO THE 2010 REFORMS, AS AN EMERGING MARKET THERE IS A PLACE FOR IRAQ ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. THE WORLD DOES NOT NEED THE DINAR FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE THAT IS JUST HOW THE WORLD WORKS.  THE DINAR WILL NOT BE THE SAVING GRACE FOR THE PLANET…   [post 2 of 4….stay tuned]

My Ladies (Dinar Guru) –   …IF YOU GET RID OF THE NOISE AND READ THE FACTS YOU WILL SEE THAT WHAT IRAQ IS DOING IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT ALL OTHER EMERGING MARKETS ARE DOING. MANY FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE JUST HYPER FOCUSED ON IRAQ AND THE STUDY OF THAT COUNTRY WHICH HAS LED TO ALL SORTS OF STORIES ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FIRST LIKE IS IT THIS LAW OR THAT LAW? IS IT THE RETAKING OF MOSUL? IS IT THE LYNCHING OF MALIKI? IS IT THE RETURNING OF SHABBIBI?   WELL GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US NONE OF THIS MATTERS IN THE BIG PICTURE.   [post 1 of 4….stay tuned]

IMF Statement on Iraq 

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

BGG ~ So – obviously, the first question I get is “will this slow things down?”…

No – exactly the opposite – they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…

“…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”

And then… [Now (that) he is fired they can press charges against him correct??]

Not sure how that will go – but they are responding to their IMF supervision.

“…International Monetary Fund request from Iraq as part of recent discussions additional expenditure cuts and the fight against corruption and activating the economic sectors…”

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Last month’s agreement on Kirkuk was a requirement for the Article 140, and the HCL. But, Mosul’s oil, and an agreement and/or census of the population in the regions have to be determined before the implementation of the HCL.  So we watch as two significant events unfold: the liberation of Mosul resulting in security for Iraq, and China joining the IMF’s SDR basket.  Remember, Shabibi’s and Allak’s statements that they will RV when the conditions are right, when there is “stability and security.”  Security is in sight within the next few months. Stability is a never ending resistance within the GOI…   I’ve always thought that the RV would happen end of April, June or September, based on quarterly accounting and historical RVs.  [post 2 of 2]

Parliamentary showing financial support for the IMF conditions

Economy News / Baghdad Finance Committee in the House of Representatives expressed, on Saturday, its support to the conditions imposed by the IMF on Iraq in return for lending, and demanded that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as “bold positions to resolve the corrupt file”, as economists asserted that Iraq faces ” a real dilemma, “because of the” lack of maturity “economic might obliged to accept the conditions of the IMF, warned against the imposition of the final conditions” most unfair “in the absence of Iraq’s commitment.

She said the Parliamentary Finance Committee member Majida al-Tamimi, in an interview I followed the “Economy News”, “International Monetary Fund request from Iraq as part of recent discussions additional cuts expenditures and the fight against corruption and activating the economic sectors”, expressing its support for “the International Fund demands.”…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   So the good news, if any, is that we now know 3 things are now FACTUAL and see these FACTS in writing from the CBI:
· Iraq does need the IMF’s permission to RV
· Iraq CBI needs to increase their reserve of hard currency now sitting in the CBI. It now is almost cut in half from what it was in 2012.
· the legislative track and other issues also have an impact on the exchange rate (so it appears Iraq does need some mandated laws…)

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    There is an effort now under way to recover nearly 60 billion that has been stolen from the CBI reserves and from the treasury on falsified contracts and other corruptive measures. The CBi reserves could literally climb over night to 2012 levels very quickly and as it could be months and not years and this would bring us to early 2017…we know they will not issue this 100,000 note until after the RV occurs and it is never going to be used on the streets of Iraq as it is intended for inter-banking transactions only. This we know as factual. So it could be many months or even years before we see this note.  But I don’t think longer than months since common sense tells us they were in a budget crunch and so why spend so much money and tie up so much money getting this new note designed and printed now if they did not intend to launch it soon.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember back to 2012 when the then head of the CBI Dr Shababi was going to RV the currency. We know this is FACTUAL since he told us in an article last year that Iraq missed an opportunity since the IMF gave them permission to RV at that time. He also said that he has the reserves at over 80 billion. So we must go by what we now know. We now know the CBI reserves is somewhere around $52 billion since Maliki and his goons raided the coffers along with the currency auctions to sustain the economy since Maliki left only 500 million in the treasury when he parted from office and Abadi took over.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Saleh: Iraq has implemented all the conditions of the International Monetary Fund!”  Interesting to hear this kind of bluster from Saleh…We haven’t seen the absolute proof – but sounds like they are headed the right direction.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [Have Iraq banks completed request by the CBI to electronically comply by September…?]   …yes IMO…yes the banks of Iraq are set to make loans to citizens…to give out credit cards…to open up accounts…to help investors that are going to be coming in…electronically they are advanced…yes they are ready…but it is useless…it is all useless until they raise the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

BGG:

My commentary from News Time Saturday afternoon was mainly based on the above article and Saleh’s comments coming out of the IMF meetings in Amman, Jordan.

So let’s give some frame of reference in “layman’s terms”…

We’ve talked over and over and OVER about this IMF “world” assistance package…

To start things off – they will get 5.3 Billion USD over the next 5 years.

Their budget for 2017 is roughly 85 Billion (expressed in USD – which isn’t really significant – just saying it in USD terms)…

I don’t recall what their budget was for 2016 – probably similar…

Once we’re done with this – I’ll ask a few important questions…

They will have gotten something around 1 Billion USD in IMF aid this year – once the balance of the two payments are made – next month??

Everyone follow so far??

So their total budget is around 85 Billion US and they are getting this “life-saving aid” amounting to a little over 1 Billion US…

That works out to a little over 1% of their budget… seriously?!?

This would be like you making 50,000 per year… you find yourself in a “financial crisis” – your banker comes to you and says “I’ll give you $250.00 in July and another $250 in October”… how far do you think that would go towards solving your crisis??

Seriously?? …

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Their is no revalue, only a gradual appreciation over time.  This event is not specifically about the dinar, its about creating a sound stable banking system and as a result an investment climate for global investors to rebuilt Iraq.  Getting Iraq’s banking system into Article VIII is the key…here is a quote direct from the IMF…”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 investor 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“

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   I feel good about what they have done last week in that meeting [IMF?] and…they are going to have continued negotiations going into November…September, October and part of November…and I hope that maybe when they come back from this holiday…they come back around the 18th I believe…I think they are going to come back with a lot of news…a lot more information…more transparency…what did we say…once they give you Fallujah…transparency of the Economic Reforms…you see it…what did we tell you the moment they give you Mosul…the transparency of the Monetary Reform…and when they come back we are going to have a plethora of information about the Monetary Reform…more talk from the CBI….more talk from Dr. Shabibi…IMO…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [are they on track for the fiscal RI…?]  Yeah… and I think when they come back we are going to learn more about that…not so much about the budget but more about the Monetary Reform which would lead them into the fiscal part…into the RI for us…the Monetary Reform…once they lift the value of their currency…their currency is ours to take for a ride up an escalator in value…a dinar will always be a dinar in the country…but outside the country whatever currency it is exchanged for…well that can be a different story.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   …the IQD will be destroyed as they come in over time.  It will take some time to reduce the money supply from 40 trillion dinars to 40 billion dinars.  As this is done the value will increase.  It must be done incrementally to avoid a liquidity crisis.  With respect to the 50K notes they did NOT increase the money supply.  They were issued in exchange for 25000 notes so it was an even exchange.  The 25000 notes are either being held at the CBI (thus not part of the money supply, just as any new money held there is not part of the money supply until it is issued) or it has been destroyed.  The slight rise in the money supply is caused by the CBI in order to maintain liquidity and has nothing directly to do with the 50K notes.  …the 50K notes have done their job:  hence, no need for the 100K notes.  That job was to initiate the removal of the 25K notes from people’s mattresses.  It will be excelerated by the offer of the dinar at 1200 per dollar through these major banks.

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    [Do you think Frank that Iraq is going to meet the window that the IMF is giving them in the Arabic side of the CBI I believe November…?]  Well again I don’t know…that is what we are hoping for…but we will learn more about that status when they come back around the 18th…you think they are on vacation…you think they are celebrating Eid…no…no…they are working like dogs…because they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them any longer.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliamentary Finance calls to control the rate of the dinar against the dollar”   I will say it again…Balassa-Samuelson effect.  Once they accept Article VIII (they have to stabilize the exchange rate, spread and meet other conditions first), they then will float the dinar to counter inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment and investors.  This will cause the dinar to appreciate in value.  It will not happen overnight, but it will happen gradually.  With the introduction of the 50, 100, 200 planned for early 2017, we can hope that the dinar will be worth .10 cents by then.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.
______________________________________________________________

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

IMF Statement on Iraq (2 hours ago…)

September 21, 2016

imfMr. Gerry Rice, Director of Communications at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today:

“IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde met on September 21 with Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. During the meeting, they discussed Iraq’s IMF-supported economic reform program that was approved by the Executive Board on July 7, 2016.

“The Managing Director welcomed the Iraqi authorities’ economic program, which is being supported by a $5.34 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) from the Fund approved in July 2016. The Managing Director and the Prime Minister exchanged views on how the SBA can help Iraq address the shocks posed by violent attacks and the drop in global oil prices. The Managing Director reiterated the importance of strong commitment to sound policies and decisive action on key reforms that are crucial to yield the largest gains for Iraq’s population.”

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –  I believe IMO Abadi is giving Obama a full report right now…not on Mosul… because that is over with…not on terrorism because that is pretty controlled…but on corruption that was destroying and delaying the Monetary and Economic Reforms that the IMF demanded be done before November. This past week the market got out of hand…those that know how to steal and make money are making their last gasp…it is 1166 that is the exchange rate…but the street rate got all the way up to 1300…the CBI was getting hammered by the market…and the next thing you know…”The IMF is Telling You to Reduce the Dollar Exchange Rate”…intervene urgently…adjust the exchange rate…this is continual pressure…   I got a feeling that Iraq is going to raise the value of their currency IMO…and I have a feeling the CBI is ready and poised…because they have been escorted by not only the IMF, UST, WB, BIS…but by us…the USA…to be in position to raise the value of their currency…they are right now to be in a perfect situation…

BGG ~ This is some wild conjecture…

No – exactly the opposite – they are doing exactly what the IMF has advised them they must do…

“…the first phase of the standby credit agreement with the international Monetary Fund included several reform requirements of the Iraqi economy, and performance standards, and financial management reform…”

And then… [Now (that) he is fired they can press charges against him correct??]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   Last month’s agreement on Kirkuk was a requirement for the Article 140, and the HCL. But, Mosul’s oil, and an agreement and/or census of the population in the regions have to be determined before the implementation of the HCL.  So we watch as two significant events unfold: the liberation of Mosul resulting in security for Iraq, and China joining the IMF’s SDR basket.  Remember, Shabibi’s and Allak’s statements that they will RV when the conditions are right, when there is “stability and security.”  Security is in sight within the next few months. Stability is a never ending resistance within the GOI…   I’ve always thought that the RV would happen end of April, June or September, based on quarterly accounting and historical RVs.  [post 2 of 2]

Parliamentary showing financial support for the IMF conditions

Economy News / Baghdad Finance Committee in the House of Representatives expressed, on Saturday, its support to the conditions imposed by the IMF on Iraq in return for lending, and demanded that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as “bold positions to resolve the corrupt file”, as economists asserted that Iraq faces ” a real dilemma, “because of the” lack of maturity “economic might obliged to accept the conditions of the IMF, warned against the imposition of the final conditions” most unfair “in the absence of Iraq’s commitment.

She said the Parliamentary Finance Committee member Majida al-Tamimi, in an interview I followed the “Economy News”, “International Monetary Fund request from Iraq as part of recent discussions additional cuts expenditures and the fight against corruption and activating the economic sectors”, expressing its support for “the International Fund demands.”…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    There is an effort now under way to recover nearly 60 billion that has been stolen from the CBI reserves and from the treasury on falsified contracts and other corruptive measures. The CBi reserves could literally climb over night to 2012 levels very quickly and as it could be months and not years and this would bring us to early 2017…we know they will not issue this 100,000 note until after the RV occurs and it is never going to be used on the streets of Iraq as it is intended for inter-banking transactions only. This we know as factual. So it could be many months or even years before we see this note.  But I don’t think longer than months since common sense tells us they were in a budget crunch and so why spend so much money and tie up so much money getting this new note designed and printed now if they did not intend to launch it soon.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember back to 2012 when the then head of the CBI Dr Shababi was going to RV the currency. We know this is FACTUAL since he told us in an article last year that Iraq missed an opportunity since the IMF gave them permission to RV at that time. He also said that he has the reserves at over 80 billion. So we must go by what we now know. We now know the CBI reserves is somewhere around $52 billion since Maliki and his goons raided the coffers along with the currency auctions to sustain the economy since Maliki left only 500 million in the treasury when he parted from office and Abadi took over.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

BGG:

My commentary from News Time Saturday afternoon was mainly based on the above article and Saleh’s comments coming out of the IMF meetings in Amman, Jordan.

So let’s give some frame of reference in “layman’s terms”…

We’ve talked over and over and OVER about this IMF “world” assistance package…

To start things off – they will get 5.3 Billion USD over the next 5 years.

Their budget for 2017 is roughly 85 Billion (expressed in USD – which isn’t really significant – just saying it in USD terms)…

I don’t recall what their budget was for 2016 – probably similar…

Once we’re done with this – I’ll ask a few important questions…

They will have gotten something around 1 Billion USD in IMF aid this year – once the balance of the two payments are made – next month??

Everyone follow so far??

So their total budget is around 85 Billion US and they are getting this “life-saving aid” amounting to a little over 1 Billion US…

That works out to a little over 1% of their budget… seriously?!?

This would be like you making 50,000 per year… you find yourself in a “financial crisis” – your banker comes to you and says “I’ll give you $250.00 in July and another $250 in October”… how far do you think that would go towards solving your crisis??

Seriously?? …

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Their is no revalue, only a gradual appreciation over time.  This event is not specifically about the dinar, its about creating a sound stable banking system and as a result an investment climate for global investors to rebuilt Iraq.  Getting Iraq’s banking system into Article VIII is the key…here is a quote direct from the IMF…”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 investor 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“

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [are they on track for the fiscal RI…?]  Yeah… and I think when they come back we are going to learn more about that…not so much about the budget but more about the Monetary Reform which would lead them into the fiscal part…into the RI for us…the Monetary Reform…once they lift the value of their currency…their currency is ours to take for a ride up an escalator in value…a dinar will always be a dinar in the country…but outside the country whatever currency it is exchanged for…well that can be a different story.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   …the IQD will be destroyed as they come in over time.  It will take some time to reduce the money supply from 40 trillion dinars to 40 billion dinars.  As this is done the value will increase.  It must be done incrementally to avoid a liquidity crisis.  With respect to the 50K notes they did NOT increase the money supply.  They were issued in exchange for 25000 notes so it was an even exchange.  The 25000 notes are either being held at the CBI (thus not part of the money supply, just as any new money held there is not part of the money supply until it is issued) or it has been destroyed.  The slight rise in the money supply is caused by the CBI in order to maintain liquidity and has nothing directly to do with the 50K notes.  …the 50K notes have done their job:  hence, no need for the 100K notes.  That job was to initiate the removal of the 25K notes from people’s mattresses.  It will be excelerated by the offer of the dinar at 1200 per dollar through these major banks.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    [Do you think Frank that Iraq is going to meet the window that the IMF is giving them in the Arabic side of the CBI I believe November…?]  Well again I don’t know…that is what we are hoping for…but we will learn more about that status when they come back around the 18th…you think they are on vacation…you think they are celebrating Eid…no…no…they are working like dogs…because they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them any longer.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliamentary Finance calls to control the rate of the dinar against the dollar”   I will say it again…Balassa-Samuelson effect.  Once they accept Article VIII (they have to stabilize the exchange rate, spread and meet other conditions first), they then will float the dinar to counter inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment and investors.  This will cause the dinar to appreciate in value.  It will not happen overnight, but it will happen gradually.  With the introduction of the 50, 100, 200 planned for early 2017, we can hope that the dinar will be worth .10 cents by then.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.
______________________________________________________________

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

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…

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   LOTS OF INFO BUT MOST OF MY STUDIES ARE TOO SENSITIVE TO TALK ABOUT.  WE ALL KNOW HOW IRAQ REDUCED ITS NOTE COUNT BY DOING THE CURRENCY AUCTIONS BY SELLING  DOLLARS AND PULLING IN DINAR.   THEY METHODICALLY DESTROYED THE PAPER THUS REDUCING THE NOTE COUNT!  I LOVED SEEING THAT ARTICLE ON THE 7TH THAT STATED IRAQ HAD ENDED ITS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MESSAGING SERVICE!  YES A COMPLETION ON THE 7TH!  OF COURSE THEY WERE BEING SNEAKY ON HOW THEY STATED IT BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT WAS THE SWIFT CODE RIGHT? RIGHT!  THEY ARE NOW E-DINAR AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE!  SO OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOW ON THE THE CIPS WHICH IS THE NEW DIGITAL PLATFORM WHICH CAN RUN BOTH!  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [ i been seeing the word exchange rate in alot of articles recently, if that has anything to do with anything gearing up for something?]   Long story short…it is OBVIOUSLY on their minds.  TOTALLY AGREED!!  SOMETHING IS UP!!
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   if one just takes cursory scan… they (Iraq) don’t look all that ready to join the WTO…HOWEVER, in light of this recent aggressive response to IMF guidance – it may well be they are RIGHT SMACK DAB in the middle of learning how to act right!! Which, IMHO – is the most important element of them getting “world” support, re-entrance and acceptance!!

Show me!  Where has the Central Bank of Iraq or the IMF has ever made such a statement?  Quote:  “Iraq CBI needs to increase their reserve of hard currency now sitting in the CBI. It now is almost cut in half from what it was in 2012.”  My response…!   Wrong…not so!   We do not know that as fact! Show me!  Where has the Central Bank of Iraq or the IMF has ever made such a statement?   My response…!  Two years ago the reserves were at $80 billion and what was the value of the IQD? Answer; 1166.  Quote:  “the legislative track and other issues also have an impact on the exchange rate (so it appears Iraq does need some mandated laws…”  My response…!  What?! What is a “mandated law”?  None of these statements made by this News Hound/Guru is in writing from the CBI. NONE.

Parliamentary showing financial support for the IMF conditions

Economy News / Baghdad Finance Committee in the House of Representatives expressed, on Saturday, its support to the conditions imposed by the IMF on Iraq in return for lending, and demanded that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as “bold positions to resolve the corrupt file”, as economists asserted that Iraq faces ” a real dilemma, “because of the” lack of maturity “economic might obliged to accept the conditions of the IMF, warned against the imposition of the final conditions” most unfair “in the absence of Iraq’s commitment.

She said the Parliamentary Finance Committee member Majida al-Tamimi, in an interview I followed the “Economy News”, “International Monetary Fund request from Iraq as part of recent discussions additional cuts expenditures and the fight against corruption and activating the economic sectors”, expressing its support for “the International Fund demands.”…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   So the good news, if any, is that we now know 3 things are now FACTUAL and see these FACTS in writing from the CBI:
· Iraq does need the IMF’s permission to RV
· Iraq CBI needs to increase their reserve of hard currency now sitting in the CBI. It now is almost cut in half from what it was in 2012.
· the legislative track and other issues also have an impact on the exchange rate (so it appears Iraq does need some mandated laws…)
  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    There is an effort now under way to recover nearly 60 billion that has been stolen from the CBI reserves and from the treasury on falsified contracts and other corruptive measures. The CBi reserves could literally climb over night to 2012 levels very quickly and as it could be months and not years and this would bring us to early 2017…we know they will not issue this 100,000 note until after the RV occurs and it is never going to be used on the streets of Iraq as it is intended for inter-banking transactions only. This we know as factual. So it could be many months or even years before we see this note.  But I don’t think longer than months since common sense tells us they were in a budget crunch and so why spend so much money and tie up so much money getting this new note designed and printed now if they did not intend to launch it soon.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember back to 2012 when the then head of the CBI Dr Shababi was going to RV the currency. We know this is FACTUAL since he told us in an article last year that Iraq missed an opportunity since the IMF gave them permission to RV at that time. He also said that he has the reserves at over 80 billion. So we must go by what we now know. We now know the CBI reserves is somewhere around $52 billion since Maliki and his goons raided the coffers along with the currency auctions to sustain the economy since Maliki left only 500 million in the treasury when he parted from office and Abadi took over.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Saleh: Iraq has implemented all the conditions of the International Monetary Fund!”  Interesting to hear this kind of bluster from Saleh…We haven’t seen the absolute proof – but sounds like they are headed the right direction.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [Have Iraq banks completed request by the CBI to electronically comply by September…?]   …yes IMO…yes the banks of Iraq are set to make loans to citizens…to give out credit cards…to open up accounts…to help investors that are going to be coming in…electronically they are advanced…yes they are ready…but it is useless…it is all useless until they raise the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

BGG:

My commentary from News Time Saturday afternoon was mainly based on the above article and Saleh’s comments coming out of the IMF meetings in Amman, Jordan.

So let’s give some frame of reference in “layman’s terms”…

We’ve talked over and over and OVER about this IMF “world” assistance package…

To start things off – they will get 5.3 Billion USD over the next 5 years.

Their budget for 2017 is roughly 85 Billion (expressed in USD – which isn’t really significant – just saying it in USD terms)…

I don’t recall what their budget was for 2016 – probably similar…

Once we’re done with this – I’ll ask a few important questions…

They will have gotten something around 1 Billion USD in IMF aid this year – once the balance of the two payments are made – next month??

Everyone follow so far??

So their total budget is around 85 Billion US and they are getting this “life-saving aid” amounting to a little over 1 Billion US…

That works out to a little over 1% of their budget… seriously?!?

This would be like you making 50,000 per year… you find yourself in a “financial crisis” – your banker comes to you and says “I’ll give you $250.00 in July and another $250 in October”… how far do you think that would go towards solving your crisis??

Seriously?? …

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Their is no revalue, only a gradual appreciation over time.  This event is not specifically about the dinar, its about creating a sound stable banking system and as a result an investment climate for global investors to rebuilt Iraq.  Getting Iraq’s banking system into Article VIII is the key…here is a quote direct from the IMF…”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 investor 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“
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   I feel good about what they have done last week in that meeting [IMF?] and…they are going to have continued negotiations going into November…September, October and part of November…and I hope that maybe when they come back from this holiday…they come back around the 18th I believe…I think they are going to come back with a lot of news…a lot more information…more transparency…what did we say…once they give you Fallujah…transparency of the Economic Reforms…you see it…what did we tell you the moment they give you Mosul…the transparency of the Monetary Reform…and when they come back we are going to have a plethora of information about the Monetary Reform…more talk from the CBI….more talk from Dr. Shabibi…IMO…

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [are they on track for the fiscal RI…?]  Yeah… and I think when they come back we are going to learn more about that…not so much about the budget but more about the Monetary Reform which would lead them into the fiscal part…into the RI for us…the Monetary Reform…once they lift the value of their currency…their currency is ours to take for a ride up an escalator in value…a dinar will always be a dinar in the country…but outside the country whatever currency it is exchanged for…well that can be a different story.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   …the IQD will be destroyed as they come in over time.  It will take some time to reduce the money supply from 40 trillion dinars to 40 billion dinars.  As this is done the value will increase.  It must be done incrementally to avoid a liquidity crisis.  With respect to the 50K notes they did NOT increase the money supply.  They were issued in exchange for 25000 notes so it was an even exchange.  The 25000 notes are either being held at the CBI (thus not part of the money supply, just as any new money held there is not part of the money supply until it is issued) or it has been destroyed.  The slight rise in the money supply is caused by the CBI in order to maintain liquidity and has nothing directly to do with the 50K notes.  …the 50K notes have done their job:  hence, no need for the 100K notes.  That job was to initiate the removal of the 25K notes from people’s mattresses.  It will be excelerated by the offer of the dinar at 1200 per dollar through these major banks.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    [Do you think Frank that Iraq is going to meet the window that the IMF is giving them in the Arabic side of the CBI I believe November…?]  Well again I don’t know…that is what we are hoping for…but we will learn more about that status when they come back around the 18th…you think they are on vacation…you think they are celebrating Eid…no…no…they are working like dogs…because they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them any longer.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliamentary Finance calls to control the rate of the dinar against the dollar”   I will say it again…Balassa-Samuelson effect.  Once they accept Article VIII (they have to stabilize the exchange rate, spread and meet other conditions first), they then will float the dinar to counter inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment and investors.  This will cause the dinar to appreciate in value.  It will not happen overnight, but it will happen gradually.  With the introduction of the 50, 100, 200 planned for early 2017, we can hope that the dinar will be worth .10 cents by then.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.
______________________________________________________________

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

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.

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   LOTS OF INFO BUT MOST OF MY STUDIES ARE TOO SENSITIVE TO TALK ABOUT.  WE ALL KNOW HOW IRAQ REDUCED ITS NOTE COUNT BY DOING THE CURRENCY AUCTIONS BY SELLING  DOLLARS AND PULLING IN DINAR.   THEY METHODICALLY DESTROYED THE PAPER THUS REDUCING THE NOTE COUNT!  I LOVED SEEING THAT ARTICLE ON THE 7TH THAT STATED IRAQ HAD ENDED ITS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MESSAGING SERVICE!  YES A COMPLETION ON THE 7TH!  OF COURSE THEY WERE BEING SNEAKY ON HOW THEY STATED IT BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT WAS THE SWIFT CODE RIGHT? RIGHT!  THEY ARE NOW E-DINAR AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE!  SO OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOW ON THE THE CIPS WHICH IS THE NEW DIGITAL PLATFORM WHICH CAN RUN BOTH!  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   So the good news, if any, is that we now know 3 things are now FACTUAL and see these FACTS in writing from the CBI:
· Iraq does need the IMF’s permission to RV
· Iraq CBI needs to increase their reserve of hard currency now sitting in the CBI. It now is almost cut in half from what it was in 2012.
· the legislative track and other issues also have an impact on the exchange rate (so it appears Iraq does need some mandated laws…)
  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    There is an effort now under way to recover nearly 60 billion that has been stolen from the CBI reserves and from the treasury on falsified contracts and other corruptive measures. The CBi reserves could literally climb over night to 2012 levels very quickly and as it could be months and not years and this would bring us to early 2017…we know they will not issue this 100,000 note until after the RV occurs and it is never going to be used on the streets of Iraq as it is intended for inter-banking transactions only. This we know as factual. So it could be many months or even years before we see this note.  But I don’t think longer than months since common sense tells us they were in a budget crunch and so why spend so much money and tie up so much money getting this new note designed and printed now if they did not intend to launch it soon.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember back to 2012 when the then head of the CBI Dr Shababi was going to RV the currency. We know this is FACTUAL since he told us in an article last year that Iraq missed an opportunity since the IMF gave them permission to RV at that time. He also said that he has the reserves at over 80 billion. So we must go by what we now know. We now know the CBI reserves is somewhere around $52 billion since Maliki and his goons raided the coffers along with the currency auctions to sustain the economy since Maliki left only 500 million in the treasury when he parted from office and Abadi took over.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Saleh: Iraq has implemented all the conditions of the International Monetary Fund!”  Interesting to hear this kind of bluster from Saleh…We haven’t seen the absolute proof – but sounds like they are headed the right direction.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [Have Iraq banks completed request by the CBI to electronically comply by September…?]   …yes IMO…yes the banks of Iraq are set to make loans to citizens…to give out credit cards…to open up accounts…to help investors that are going to be coming in…electronically they are advanced…yes they are ready…but it is useless…it is all useless until they raise the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

BGG:

My commentary from News Time Saturday afternoon was mainly based on the above article and Saleh’s comments coming out of the IMF meetings in Amman, Jordan.

So let’s give some frame of reference in “layman’s terms”…

We’ve talked over and over and OVER about this IMF “world” assistance package…

To start things off – they will get 5.3 Billion USD over the next 5 years.

Their budget for 2017 is roughly 85 Billion (expressed in USD – which isn’t really significant – just saying it in USD terms)…

I don’t recall what their budget was for 2016 – probably similar…

Once we’re done with this – I’ll ask a few important questions…

They will have gotten something around 1 Billion USD in IMF aid this year – once the balance of the two payments are made – next month??

Everyone follow so far??

So their total budget is around 85 Billion US and they are getting this “life-saving aid” amounting to a little over 1 Billion US…

That works out to a little over 1% of their budget… seriously?!?

This would be like you making 50,000 per year… you find yourself in a “financial crisis” – your banker comes to you and says “I’ll give you $250.00 in July and another $250 in October”… how far do you think that would go towards solving your crisis??

Seriously?? …

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Their is no revalue, only a gradual appreciation over time.  This event is not specifically about the dinar, its about creating a sound stable banking system and as a result an investment climate for global investors to rebuilt Iraq.  Getting Iraq’s banking system into Article VIII is the key…here is a quote direct from the IMF…”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 investor 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“
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   I feel good about what they have done last week in that meeting [IMF?] and…they are going to have continued negotiations going into November…September, October and part of November…and I hope that maybe when they come back from this holiday…they come back around the 18th I believe…I think they are going to come back with a lot of news…a lot more information…more transparency…what did we say…once they give you Fallujah…transparency of the Economic Reforms…you see it…what did we tell you the moment they give you Mosul…the transparency of the Monetary Reform…and when they come back we are going to have a plethora of information about the Monetary Reform…more talk from the CBI….more talk from Dr. Shabibi…IMO…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [are they on track for the fiscal RI…?]  Yeah… and I think when they come back we are going to learn more about that…not so much about the budget but more about the Monetary Reform which would lead them into the fiscal part…into the RI for us…the Monetary Reform…once they lift the value of their currency…their currency is ours to take for a ride up an escalator in value…a dinar will always be a dinar in the country…but outside the country whatever currency it is exchanged for…well that can be a different story.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   …the IQD will be destroyed as they come in over time.  It will take some time to reduce the money supply from 40 trillion dinars to 40 billion dinars.  As this is done the value will increase.  It must be done incrementally to avoid a liquidity crisis.  With respect to the 50K notes they did NOT increase the money supply.  They were issued in exchange for 25000 notes so it was an even exchange.  The 25000 notes are either being held at the CBI (thus not part of the money supply, just as any new money held there is not part of the money supply until it is issued) or it has been destroyed.  The slight rise in the money supply is caused by the CBI in order to maintain liquidity and has nothing directly to do with the 50K notes.  …the 50K notes have done their job:  hence, no need for the 100K notes.  That job was to initiate the removal of the 25K notes from people’s mattresses.  It will be excelerated by the offer of the dinar at 1200 per dollar through these major banks.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    [Do you think Frank that Iraq is going to meet the window that the IMF is giving them in the Arabic side of the CBI I believe November…?]  Well again I don’t know…that is what we are hoping for…but we will learn more about that status when they come back around the 18th…you think they are on vacation…you think they are celebrating Eid…no…no…they are working like dogs…because they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them any longer.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliamentary Finance calls to control the rate of the dinar against the dollar”   I will say it again…Balassa-Samuelson effect.  Once they accept Article VIII (they have to stabilize the exchange rate, spread and meet other conditions first), they then will float the dinar to counter inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment and investors.  This will cause the dinar to appreciate in value.  It will not happen overnight, but it will happen gradually.  With the introduction of the 50, 100, 200 planned for early 2017, we can hope that the dinar will be worth .10 cents by then.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.
______________________________________________________________

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   LOTS OF INFO BUT MOST OF MY STUDIES ARE TOO SENSITIVE TO TALK ABOUT.  WE ALL KNOW HOW IRAQ REDUCED ITS NOTE COUNT BY DOING THE CURRENCY AUCTIONS BY SELLING  DOLLARS AND PULLING IN DINAR.   THEY METHODICALLY DESTROYED THE PAPER THUS REDUCING THE NOTE COUNT!  I LOVED SEEING THAT ARTICLE ON THE 7TH THAT STATED IRAQ HAD ENDED ITS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MESSAGING SERVICE!  YES A COMPLETION ON THE 7TH!  OF COURSE THEY WERE BEING SNEAKY ON HOW THEY STATED IT BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT WAS THE SWIFT CODE RIGHT?

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    Article quote:   “…the willingness of credit with the international Monetary Fund by which it agreed to grant Iraq a financial loan of $ 5.3 billion agreement…”  …their whole budget relies entirely on oil – everything you see in their budget is their whole oil production… their everything rises and falls on oil production and oil prices.  …this loan is just a vehicle to get the IMF and “world support” on board…  two things they really need...1) IMF oversight and a demonstrated ability to do as they are told…   2) international acceptance… re-integration with the world economies.  #2 won’t fully happen without #1…AND international acceptance in every way. This includes an internationally priced and accepted currency…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   So the good news, if any, is that we now know 3 things are now FACTUAL and see these FACTS in writing from the CBI:
· Iraq does need the IMF’s permission to RV
· Iraq CBI needs to increase their reserve of hard currency now sitting in the CBI. It now is almost cut in half from what it was in 2012.
· the legislative track and other issues also have an impact on the exchange rate (so it appears Iraq does need some mandated laws…)

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –    There is an effort now under way to recover nearly 60 billion that has been stolen from the CBI reserves and from the treasury on falsified contracts and other corruptive measures. The CBi reserves could literally climb over night to 2012 levels very quickly and as it could be months and not years and this would bring us to early 2017…we know they will not issue this 100,000 note until after the RV occurs and it is never going to be used on the streets of Iraq as it is intended for inter-banking transactions only. This we know as factual. So it could be many months or even years before we see this note.  But I don’t think longer than months since common sense tells us they were in a budget crunch and so why spend so much money and tie up so much money getting this new note designed and printed now if they did not intend to launch it soon.   [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Remember back to 2012 when the then head of the CBI Dr Shababi was going to RV the currency. We know this is FACTUAL since he told us in an article last year that Iraq missed an opportunity since the IMF gave them permission to RV at that time. He also said that he has the reserves at over 80 billion. So we must go by what we now know. We now know the CBI reserves is somewhere around $52 billion since Maliki and his goons raided the coffers along with the currency auctions to sustain the economy since Maliki left only 500 million in the treasury when he parted from office and Abadi took over.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Saleh: Iraq has implemented all the conditions of the International Monetary Fund!”  Interesting to hear this kind of bluster from Saleh…We haven’t seen the absolute proof – but sounds like they are headed the right direction.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [Have Iraq banks completed request by the CBI to electronically comply by September…?]   …yes IMO…yes the banks of Iraq are set to make loans to citizens…to give out credit cards…to open up accounts…to help investors that are going to be coming in…electronically they are advanced…yes they are ready…but it is useless…it is all useless until they raise the value of their currency.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Their is no revalue, only a gradual appreciation over time.  This event is not specifically about the dinar, its about creating a sound stable banking system and as a result an investment climate for global investors to rebuilt Iraq.  Getting Iraq’s banking system into Article VIII is the key…here is a quote direct from the IMF…”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 investor 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.“
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   I feel good about what they have done last week in that meeting [IMF?] and…they are going to have continued negotiations going into November…September, October and part of November…and I hope that maybe when they come back from this holiday…they come back around the 18th I believe…I think they are going to come back with a lot of news…a lot more information…more transparency…what did we say…once they give you Fallujah…transparency of the Economic Reforms…you see it…what did we tell you the moment they give you Mosul…the transparency of the Monetary Reform…and when they come back we are going to have a plethora of information about the Monetary Reform…more talk from the CBI….more talk from Dr. Shabibi…IMO…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   [are they on track for the fiscal RI…?]  Yeah… and I think when they come back we are going to learn more about that…not so much about the budget but more about the Monetary Reform which would lead them into the fiscal part…into the RI for us…the Monetary Reform…once they lift the value of their currency…their currency is ours to take for a ride up an escalator in value…a dinar will always be a dinar in the country…but outside the country whatever currency it is exchanged for…well that can be a different story.
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   …the IQD will be destroyed as they come in over time.  It will take some time to reduce the money supply from 40 trillion dinars to 40 billion dinars.  As this is done the value will increase.  It must be done incrementally to avoid a liquidity crisis.  With respect to the 50K notes they did NOT increase the money supply.  They were issued in exchange for 25000 notes so it was an even exchange.  The 25000 notes are either being held at the CBI (thus not part of the money supply, just as any new money held there is not part of the money supply until it is issued) or it has been destroyed.  The slight rise in the money supply is caused by the CBI in order to maintain liquidity and has nothing directly to do with the 50K notes.  …the 50K notes have done their job:  hence, no need for the 100K notes.  That job was to initiate the removal of the 25K notes from people’s mattresses.  It will be excelerated by the offer of the dinar at 1200 per dollar through these major banks.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –    [Do you think Frank that Iraq is going to meet the window that the IMF is giving them in the Arabic side of the CBI I believe November…?]  Well again I don’t know…that is what we are hoping for…but we will learn more about that status when they come back around the 18th…you think they are on vacation…you think they are celebrating Eid…no…no…they are working like dogs…because they cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds them any longer.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliamentary Finance calls to control the rate of the dinar against the dollar”   I will say it again…Balassa-Samuelson effect.  Once they accept Article VIII (they have to stabilize the exchange rate, spread and meet other conditions first), they then will float the dinar to counter inflationary pressure created by the influx of investment and investors.  This will cause the dinar to appreciate in value.  It will not happen overnight, but it will happen gradually.  With the introduction of the 50, 100, 200 planned for early 2017, we can hope that the dinar will be worth .10 cents by then.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Iraq:

Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies, and Technical Memorandum of Understanding


______________________________________________________________

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.
______________________________________________________________

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

Central Bank: No category million dollars and we deal

28534Long-Presse / Baghdad – It said an informed source at the Central Bank of Iraq, on Wednesday, that there is no currency of one million dollars a category, and among that this currency is real and may be used to waddle or games, he stressed that a higher currency Bank deals with are a class of ($ 100).
The source said in an interview (Amdy Press), said that “the trading day in the Iraqi market and among the citizens of the existence of a class coin (one million dollars), is not true and there is no such a category,” he said, “that category may be for the purposes of Strutting ( gift), or used for the Games. ”

The source, who not to be named, said, “The Central Bank does not deal with that group, and that the highest category in the dollar coin is ($ 100), so the Central Bank does not deal with that category one million dollars because that does not exist.”
And circulation of citizens and the Iraqi market news for the currency of the category million people exchanged presence as part of a new currency will be worked out in the country.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –    I might add one more point:  by using this strategy the need for the issuance of the 100,000 dinar note is eliminated.  Originally this note was going to be introduced so that the 25000 dinar notes hidden in mattresses could be drawn out.  However, that is only a false ameliorative, since those 4 25000 dinar notes would still be replaced with another dinar note (although larger).  However, through this new strategy of exchanging dinar at 1200 per dollar the large 25000 dinar notes can be drawn out of the mattresses WITHOUT replacing them with other dinar notes, thus allowing a direct reduction in the money supply.  [post 3 of 3]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –   As the dinars in mattresses are removed and sent to the CBI through these major banks they can be destroyed, thus allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply.  Remember, they have to reduce it gradually as the value of the dinar rises.  The reduction is enormous, from 40 trillion dinar to 40 billion dinar.  This is a part of the mechanism that will make this possible.  If the dinar in mattresses do not come out then the float cannot begin or, if it does begin, there will not be enough upward pressure to raise its value UNTIL the mattress money is removed.  Thus this move by these two major banks (initiated by the IMF) will help to kick-start that removal process.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  If these two major banks are now selling the dinar at 1200 per dollar what do you think will happen in the short term, especially since the street rate is 1290 per dollar? The answer is two-fold:  first, this will put downward pressure on the street rate…to bring it in line with the official rate, or at least within 2% of that rate (a requirement of the IMF for entry into Article VIII); but secondly, and this has not yet been mentioned, the lower 1200 per dollar rate will quickly draw in large amounts of dinar from the mattresses of those who were frustrated because the street rate was so low compared to the official rate.  This is the secondary but extremely important factor that will be necessary in order to move to a float.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Delta (Dinar Guru) –   I have some information about the IMF meeting with Iraq…it looks like we might have a window for the date of the currency reform or basically the revaluation of the dinar…I just read it in Arabic…there seems to be a window that the IMF has given Iraq…they told them you have to finish the Monetary Reform of your currency…the internet is not seeing this in Arabic…it says in Arabic they told them to finish the Monetary Reform…and the Economic Reforms before November…
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   …the information that is on the CBI website in Arabic makes it very clear…[Guru] DELTA translated it for us…and it said very clearly…at this meeting the IMF told Iraq…look you’ve done these things…but you have not done two things…if you want your loans…and that is what…articles are backing it up again…if you want your loans so you can complete your Economic Reforms…do the Monetary Reform…if not…IMO we will come in and we will do everything.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Rasheed Bank proceed to sell the dollar for travelers dinars 1200”   This should quickly reduce the spread to within 2% as others follow to compete.  Again, the CBI is trying to get in compliance.  This is great news to meet the IMF directive in the SBA.
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment?]   I think it’s a good rating and that rating is appropriate for Iraq given the current circumstances.  Money is the incentive and Iraq will do whatever is needed to keep those funds moving and comply with the SBA.  Finch is showing us that they are indeed flexible with this rating and it’s essentially up to Iraq to make the needed improvements… Security is improving with the march on to Mosul. IF they actually reach a firm and implemented agreement with the Kurds with full participation from both sides this will increase their rating also. All in all Iraq is on the right track.

IRAQ

STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM—PRESS RELEASE; AND
STAFF REPORT


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   So we can see here that the CBI is doing exactly what the IMF dictated.  And they are moving closer to accepting the obligations (don’t know the date) of Article VIII.  Which we all know Article VIII is the “key” to make the dinar internationally convertible and as a result would remove the dinar from the peg at that time and allow it to float.    IMO, they are moving towards the goals of early 2017 (remember the 3 notes the CBI wants to bring out!)   Gotta love the line….”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 investor community”  It really is fantastic news because the IMF is not going to let the CBI and banking system stay closed to the world much longer.  The plan is in action.    [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –    this should get us all excited…From the IMF SBA…:   “The authorities will gradually remove remaining exchange restrictions and multiple currency practice (MCP) (MEFP, 14). 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 investor 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.9 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 increase the sale of foreign exchange for valid current exchange transactions on the official market in order to reduce the spread between the official and parallel exchange rates (10). In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that.  …I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason for not expecting much out of this week is their last long holiday of the year, Eid-al-Fitr…Eid-al-Fitr goes till Friday this week, and then we don’t have any more long holidays in the immediate future… which hopefully means they will be getting some WORK done.

Backdoc (Dinar Guru) –   […we have friends who have only VND. IYO, do you see them RVing any time soon or maybe next year?]    THEY ALL START THE RACE TOGETHER IMHO! CAN’T HAVE DOUBLE DIPPING BECAUSE IT WOULD DAMAGE THE CURRENCIES THAT GO AT A LATER DATE!  IT WOULD INCREASE THEIR NOTE COUNT TOO MUCH.  I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN ASIAN SURPRISE! IMO.
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…There’s an article taking about de-pegging from the US dollar.  Ok just pure math.  We know the US dollar dominate about 70% of the world’s international trade.  Just based on that math…do you think that it would be a good idea for Iraq to de-peg itself from the most powerful currency that’s ever existed on the face of the earth?  Do you think that is a wise decision?  Do you think the US treasury and US government setting up their currency…we’re the ones who got rid of their old currency and we’re the ones to help setup their new currency…do you think there is any room for that type of shenanigans?  No there is not.  I appreciate articles that come out but some of them are so obnoxious that they should be indicators all by themselves that the person who wrote that is completely off the wall.  They are not going to de-peg from the US dollar.  This is not opinion at all…the US dollar is getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”  Quote:  “The Iraqi Central Bank announced on Tuesday (September 6), the processing bank Rafidain and Rasheed exchange of foreign currency to the dollar expansion of cash sales outlets to citizens via their branches in the capital Baghdad and the provinces.”   More good news.  They are following the IMF concerns and liberalizing the foreign exchange.

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.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS WHATS INSIDE IRAQ, NOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WE HOLD IS NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AS THAT ALSO WILL FIND ITS WAY INTO OUR TREASURY AS OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. SHABS [DR. SHABIBIS] PLAN FROM DAY ONE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ON PAR 1-1 AS HE HAS STATED MANY TIMES. A 1-1 WITH IRAQ BACKING ONLY A SMALL % OF PHYSICAL DINAR IS VERY PLAUSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO OTHER ASSETS THEY HOLD OTHER THAN GOLD. REMEMBER PHOSPHORUS? I DO THINK MOSUL IS A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN REPORTS SHOW.  IT IS THE LAST DOMINO IMO AND WE JUST WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

In particular, 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 legitimate travel expenses for its clients will be able to obtain the required amount above these limits on the basis of appropriate documentation.”   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?]  I did see that Iraq was given a B- or close to that recently? Over the last few years they have maintained a very consistent and very good quality rating, which tells us that they are pulling forward consistently. That’s better than what a lot of other countries have done! Just another reason to hang tight and root them on.
______________________________________________________________

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   […does the B- rating concern you about our investment? And does the rating have to improve to have the significant increase we’re looking for?]  Not at all. Increasing the rating will take significant time and impacts the interest paid on sovereign loans. That said, because of the tremendous support Iraq continues to get, such as the soft loans, this is not having much of an impact.

IRAQ

FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS OF THE STAFF-MONITORED PROGRAM AND REQUEST FOR A THREE-YEAR STAND-BY ARRANGEMENT—PRESS RELEASE; STAFF REPORT; AND STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR IRAQ


______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “IMF thank Iraq on “fruitful cooperation and candor,” the first revision of the standby credit agreement”    I just love how the IMF works.  It is clear, the SBA was the roadmap.  And these subsequent meetings in Jordan check progress before the next installment loan.  It is very obvious, the CBI was behind on the conditions the SBA “plan” had for the banking system.  So they get their orders and return to Iraq and have 30 or so days to get caught up before the next October meetings.   
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –    [Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.]   It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it high in my personal opinion of catalysts for the RV.   [In your opinion, do you feel that in this end 1/4 of October Iraq will pull the RV trigger or do you feel it will be in 2017?  I’m in the camp of 2017.]  I won’t give a date, but I’ve made it clear that I’m positive for progress in the coming weeks/month.  [Do you think most of will actually live long enough to see an actual RV?]  Yes.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   Won’t all the hedge funds and investors scoop up the currency and cause a rush on it?  Yes – I am told this may happen and the rate could go very high over a period of time. The float, however, will be a “fixed” float meaning it will have a limit. They are not telling me the limit as it is sensitive information…of course. But we did hear Dr Shabibi say in the past that the IQD could sustain up to a value of $16 USD per dinar. This is all we know as FACTUAL and so I will not spread any rumors, hype or speculation on the future value of the dinar.  No Rumors, No Hype, just the FACTS, as always!   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) –   …THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL REFORMS ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETED…  I am still on the path of window from Sept 1st 2016 to January 2017 to see a significant rise in the value of the IQD. I firmly expect to see between now and January to see the launching of the lower denominations (but no coins yet). When the CBI does launch the new notes (lower denominations) the IQD value will not change. I repeat will not change and the swap (or exchange) by the citizens within Iraq will be a 1:1 meaning the value will be a swap of 1 dollar value for something worth one dollar value.  I am being told by my CBI contact that if all goes according to plan we can expect a 90 cents to $1.17 USD rate change within a couple weeks after the newer notes are launched, but only when it is launched AND finally moved to the international exchanges. At this time the plan now is that the currency will be on a float and will no longer be stickily pegged to the USD (as it is today). Instead they plan to move it to a “basket of currencies”.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –  The obvious biggest question is when is the IMF requiring the CBI to RV?  Unfortunately, they don’t directly state that. They stated in their December 2015 LOI that they wanted Iraq to join the international community “by mid-year.” Their June LOI states that the IMF wants the CBI to cut out their Multiple Currency Practices and move to Article VIII compliance – which requires the RV – “by the end of the year.”  The IMF is on top of exactly what Iraq is and is not getting done on time. That comes out through these articles on Friday’s meeting.  [post 3 of 3]

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “The central bank determines the sale of $ 5000 for citzens across the bank Rafidain and Rasheed”   Quote:  “…the central bank boosted bank balance Rafidain and Rasheed dollar in order to direct the sale of hard currency from the dollar to citizens traveling outside of Iraq.”  I like how the CBI has these meetings with the IMF and when they come home, they usually do something right away. Clearly the IMF told them last weekend, raise the minimum at the banks.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   So, how is Iraq doing implementing the IMF’s plan?  The Finance Committee has been working with the CBI and the IMF to draft their 2017 Budget. The Finance Committee is saying that they want to submit the 2017 Budget to Parliament this month.  The biggest issue with the Budget is setting the expected average price of oil per barrel. On Friday, the IMF set the price per barrel at $45.00 for 2017. There is progress being made in this area, namely that the 2017 Budget does cut spending, does reduce its reliance on oil, is being reviewed and set by the IMF, and is being drafted on time. That’s a lot of progress.  Also of importance, is that IMF audit of the CBI’s foreign reserves found that they had an additionally $10 billion. So the IMF is pleased with the Budget and the foreign reserve level of the CBI. (Also the passing of the Amnesty Law and a few new technocrat Ministers was real progress the last couple of months.)  The IMF will hold their next review meeting in October.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Islandg1211 (Dinar Guru) –   The IMF met with the Gov of the CBI, Allak and the Finance Committee to assess Iraq’s progress to date in meeting their requirements.  To review, the IMF required that Iraq did a number of things, including determining their 2016 and 2017 Budget, passing laws, banking reforms, and monetary reforms.  The IMF stepped in last December with a LOI that covered the first half of 2016, then in May/June, the UST, WB, IMF, US and other nations combined in a coordinated plan for an umbrella plan for Iraq in which Iraq would get loans. The meeting last Friday was a review of progress of Iraq meeting the requirements.  The IMF is completely taking control of the structure and conditions they expect their plan for Iraq to be implemented. The IMF does not want to lend money without Iraq doing what they need to do. That’s they message that came out of Friday’s meeting.  [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

THEN I BELIEVE REFORMS WILL TAKE OFF ASAP. AND I HATE TO BRING UP HISTORY, BUT IRAQS FINANCIALS AS REPORTED ARE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS IN THE PAST. SOMETIMES WHAT YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS. IRAQ IS READY…ARE YOU? I KNOW I AM…AS ALWAYS JMHO.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   I DO AGREE WITH [GURU] BREITLING AS FAR AS IRAQ GETTING THE NOTE COUNT DOWN, BUT, AS MUCH AS THE NOTE COUNT MATTERS, ITS WHAT REPRESENTS THE M2 THAT REALLY MATTERS IMO…THEIR M FACTOR REPRESENTS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL DINAR BUT DINAR ON THE BOOKS AS NUMBERS AND NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH ACTUAL DINAR IS BEING HELD AS BACKUP CURRENCY BY OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE PARIS CLUB. HISTORY TELLS US THE US ORIGINALLY LENT IRAQ 20 BILLION U.S. IN LIEU OF DINAR.  AT THAT TIME THE RATE WAS 4000-1. ADD IN THE OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES, AND 41 TRILLION ISNT THAT MUCH FOR IRAQ TO HANDLE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.  [reference Guru Breitling post 9-13-2016]  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Breitling (Dinar Guru) –…articles coming out with banks having problems giving people Iraqi dinar.  Remember this is a two pronged attack.  They are trying to reduce the dollar amount because the only way they can reduce the note count and add value to the currency…is to make sure people aren’t addicted to the US dollar…so there is a balance there.  We don’t have enough information to calculate.  At what point are they pulling dollars off?  and at what point are they reducing the note count.  And at what point are they more heavy than the other?  We don’t know.  BUT we know what to look for and we know the key words they’re saying and what it means for us…Between 80 and 85% of notes in Iraq are 25K notes and they say they have about 41 Trillion in dinar…divide that up into 25K notes.  and you’ll figure out about what the note count is at.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [any late news on the progress of the dinar?]  I am sure the next few days will be very revealing – and…or I should say…the biggest news would have been the full context of the results of the IMF – Iraq meetings/review in Amman, Jordan…as that news comes out – it will be interesting and…we’ve got a few developments coming soon – GOOD STUFF.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …No.  I’m all about measure and I don’t know how to measure that.  It’s very simple…if you see someone and they have a car frame and it’s just sitting there and they have an engine and it’s just sitting there separate and they’ve got wheels and they’re separate…you know they’re building a car especially when you look at the parts…you probably can tell what type of car they’re building.  Is it going to be a race car?  Well if they’re using race tires and an engine that’s bigger than what everyone else’s then it’s pretty much going to be a race car right?  So that’s what we’re looking at.  That’s the only thing I can go by.  To me it sounds goofy when I have to use that type of example…a lot of people got into the dinar because of intuition but I don’t calculate by intuition.  I don’t believe in it.  I don’t believe in hope.  I don’t believe in any of that stuff.  If I can’t see it.  I can’t measure it.  I can’t invest in it.  So you know this is an indicator but it’s nothing that’s measurable so you have to be very cautious when looking at it.   So very very good articles coming out.

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…

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –    […with all of this confidence why are they stuck at a B rating?  Any idea when that would increase?]   Rating agencies assess how likely a borrower is to be able to repay its debts and help those trading debt contracts (e.g., loans) in the secondary market (to investors).  It takes a lot to change a rating and I suspect their rating will not go beyond the lower end of investment grade until they have a more diversified industrial output. Having their economy rely almost entirely on oil presents risk.  As their agriculture continues to return and as infrastructure and commerce grow, they will demonstrate a more balanced country. That said, it’s all about the data. As Iraq continues to repay loans with ease, demand in the secondary market will likely grow which in turn will pave the way for Iraq to fully participate no matter their rating.  [post 2 of 2]

Shredd (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “The World Bank will lend Iraq three billion dollars as “very low interest rates,” the end of 2016”  …this is a good sign. A loan by the WB for a long term and low rate shows not only support and confidence in Iraq as it continues to rebuild it’s economic infrastructure but it also demonstrates trust and faith in Iraq’s ability to repay…lending and borrowing is what the global economic machine is all about. For the lender, interest income and for the borrower, stimulus to push progress/growth as quickly as possible and the kind that ensures the ability to repay is in place and protected. This shows us once again Iraq is continuing to mature economically. It continues to prove that a lop or redenomination due to a failing economy is not the case for Iraq. This shows us and demonstrates to future investors that Iraq is a vital participant in the global economic construct. See the trees in the forest! It’s all good.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  [does mosul have to be free of isis before a change in value?]  Doesn’t have to…but at the very core of all of this is world support of Iraq.  They IMF, WB and UN all want to support Iraq (and recognize whatever value they eventually apply to the IQD)…but it appears they have given Abadi some very direct guidelines and “advice” on how to proceed. There is no doubt this included them putting their squabbles aside and moving on ISIS.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “World Bank offers to Iraq to see funding for economic development”  Quotes:  “Saleh added that “the World Bank between the activities targeted by the loan, is the support of the **federal budget in line with the economic reform paths and a document of reform launched by the Prime Minister…”  “the loan payout after the completion of understandings with the World Bank on the road map, which is consistent with the paths of economic reforms,” expected to “be executed loan to Iraq by the World Bank end of the year 2016“.  Zebari may well be there… but Saleh is too…Zebari could well be there trying to stay in the conversation is all…it is being reported, his dismissal is imminent…and I don’t think it will cause any “DELAY” – in fact, Iraq adhering to the “reform paper” launched by Abadi and instigated…by the IMF/WB makes it appear as though this corruption clean-up may well speed things up if anything at all.

firefly (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Prime Minister to the IMF Resident Representative in Vietnam 09/01/2016”  Quote:  “Prime Minister to the IMF Resident Representative in Vietnam Pm on 08.30.2016…has a meeting with Mr. Jonathan Dunn – Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Vietnam…At the meeting, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc appreciated the help effective, practical IMF for economic development – economic development of Vietnam, especially in the field of financial reform...”    especially in the field of financial reform!!  [sounds so good.]  It is beyond good …keep the faith and look at the BIG picture.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [does mosul have to be free of isis before a change in value?]  Doesn’t have to…but at the very core of all of this is world support of Iraq.  They IMF, WB and UN all want to support Iraq (and recognize whatever value they eventually apply to the IQD)…but it appears they have given Abadi some very direct guidelines and “advice” on how to proceed. There is no doubt this included them putting their squabbles aside and moving on ISIS.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “World Bank offers to Iraq to see funding for economic development”  Quotes:  “Saleh added that “the World Bank between the activities targeted by the loan, is the support of the **federal budget in line with the economic reform paths and a document of reform launched by the Prime Minister…”  “the loan payout after the completion of understandings with the World Bank on the road map, which is consistent with the paths of economic reforms,” expected to “be executed loan to Iraq by the World Bank end of the year 2016“.  Zebari may well be there… but Saleh is too…Zebari could well be there trying to stay in the conversation is all…it is being reported, his dismissal is imminent…and I don’t think it will cause any “DELAY” – in fact, Iraq adhering to the “reform paper” launched by Abadi and instigated…by the IMF/WB makes it appear as though this corruption clean-up may well speed things up if anything at all.

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…

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 officials…Shahristani 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 CBI? Why 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.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –    Article:  “Parliament will vote on bills and other discuss in its session on Tuesday”  SO…..PARLIAMENT IS WORKING TOMOROW…[TUESDAY].

Frank26 (Dinar Guru) –   The HCL is in the budget…Abadi activated the HCL that is in the budget…The reason the HCL is in the budget is because of Article 140…just recently the Kurdistan and Iraq agreed on everything…all the way down to Article 140…and it caused the HCL to become activated inside of the budget…now they need for Parliament to do the final steps of the HCL…because the HCL was passed years ago…has now been activated but is not done. 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.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   “…the House of Representatives sent, during the last two days of the amnesty law to the presidency of the republic to see the paragraphs, materials and approved for publication in the Official Gazette.” General Amnesty will be law.   I guess it didn’t happen – and get published in the Gazette weeks ago …looks like the next 2 days or so…IMF, WB and UN are behind this. For sure.  …things are moving ahead for Iraq DOUBLE TIME…

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [do you think they will actually get a successful no confidence vote on zebari?]  I think it’s a foregone conclusion. He’s swinging every direction possible.  He’s desperate.  He was trying to blame Maliki for his demise – less than 24hrs ago.  IMHO – they will start with ZEBARI and there will major players on all sides “bite the dust”.  …my sense is – there is far more to this story than we know.   [any chance this no confidence vote on Zebari has an impact on the HCL being implemented?]  IMHO – no chance.

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 process. So 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!

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.

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.

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 officials…Shahristani 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.”

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 process. So 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. “…

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 officials…Shahristani 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. 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 process. So 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!
