Dinar Observer Daily

Fnu Lnu – Dinar Guru  Much has been made of the number 90 Trillion. This is the alleged number of Dinar at large…I do not believe this number is valid and here’s why.  1) There are always casualties such as fire & natural disasters. 2) We know there has been an effort, for years, to coax three zero notes out from under mattresses, with some success. 3) We know stolen Dinar have been recovered in very large amounts recently. 4) Here’s the biggie: I saw a video some years back, where a jet was seized attempting to leave the country, and it was stacked from floor to ceiling with coffin sized cases full of Dinar.   [Post 1 of 2]

Fnu Lnu – Dinar Guru  It had to be trillions. Much to my surprise, the jet was eventually cleared to take off.  However, it was no surprise to hear the jet was registered to Nuri Al Maliki. The jet landed in Zurich Switzerland where it was then seized and the Dinar confiscated. Some may remember an article stating that Switzerland repatriated a large number of Dinar to Iraq but the article was scant on details. When one considers all these scenarios, it would seem that there is far less Dinar in circulation that 90 trillion. It may well be half that amount. IMHO. [Post 2 of 2]

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  I agree it’s going to happen.  I don’t have doubt about that.  I’m just keeping an eye on whether or not they want to delete the zeros.  If they go to a free floating market hopefully there won’t be…deleting the zeros and we’ll see the exchange rate go up pretty quick before they have time to respond…

Militia Man – Dinar Guru     If they’re going to have liquidity and they don’t have it now it’s going to require new small category denominations to be in circulation.  Just as al-Alaq’s project to delete the zeros would require new denominations.   Did they do that in 2018 and have them in storage?  I believe they did…

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Article: “March 11, 2024 Iraq government is currently weighing the question of changing the currency so that the official cost of a US dollar will be 1.32 instead of 1,320 dinar.  Implementing such a decision is likely to  significanly increase Al-Sucani’s popularity.”  Drop the mic.  That’s huge.  It’s phenomenal…That’s still on the table.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article “The Central Bank of Iraq “denies” issuing a currency in the category of (100) thousand  dinars”  Quote “The Central Bank of Iraq denies issuing a new currency in the denomination of (100) thousand dinars, indicating  that the image of the new currency circulated on social networking sites is a “fake” image bearing the image of the late Iraqi  architect Zaha Hadid”  

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  Samir Al-Nusairi, the Central Bank announced that it will launch the national lending strategy on 5/25/2024, which is a clear announcement of the beginning of the second phase of its banking reform strategy…CBI announces it has completed the first phase of it by…building solid international banking relationships with international banks and correspondent banks. Get ready…

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  In 2016 Gold was right around $1,500 bucks an once and today it’s running $2,300 to $2,400 bucks an ounce.  They increased that gold supply by about 40 tons…Their currency reserves are around $110 billion.  They have a massive amount of wealth.  They have the ability to support their imports for about 16 months they say, which is about 5x what they need.  That’s important.  They don’t want to reduce those.  They’d like to keep them on hand...Iraq has a good foundation for Alaq to do what he’s supposed to do and it’ll only get better if he does.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “In light of the Middle East conflict, the World Bank expects oil prices to exceed $100″  Quote:  “The bank said in a report published today that a severe price disruption could lead to oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel, which would increase inflation in 2024 by about one percentage point.“

Samson – Dinar Guru  The World Bank said on Friday that the disruption of oil supplies if the conflict escalates in the Middle East could lead to a rise in global inflation rates.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Once you apply a real effective exchange rate you become Article VIII compliant, Article IV compliant with the IMF you’ll have a valuation of what the country is worth… 

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru  Question: “They have a very large budget ,without an increase in rate how do they meet the projects that is lined up?“  External expenses are paid in dollars since their primary revenue is dollars. Dinar is used to pay salaries, etc. in country.

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  Iraq was already a member of the World Trade Organization.  They are going through the ascension process for a second time.  That’s because all the rules, regulations, understandings and business practices…changed once the fall of Saddam Hussein.  Now we have to make sure all their practices, rules and regulations regarding trade line up once again with the World Trade Organization.  Iraq has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 2004.  This is their second time throughout the ascension process…

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Iraq – Formal Resumption of Iraq’s Accession to the WTO“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  If they change the value of their currency they’re going to have more surpluses…The oil price is about $70 in the 2023 budget.  That hasn’t changed for ’24 or ’25 because that’s a tripartite budget.  They got a surplus.  Oil is somewhere around $80.  It’s been as high as $91ish.  The expectations of oil is to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $80/$90 and they even talk about $100/barrel…Iraq is going to be sitting pretty good…They have phosphates…sulfur…natural gas…Those non-oil revenue streams...taxes and tariffs are going to come online…Iraq has a good foundation for Alaq to do what he’s supposed to do.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  If they were reducing the note count all this time, for years, is that 90 trillion outside the [central] bank for real?

Kaperoni  – Dinar Guru  Community Comment: “Hopefully in the next 5 yrs we will see an appreciation of the currency  price, based on the last year of progress.”  I agree!  Iraq has an excellent opportunity now to diversify their economy and develop  the banking system.

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  There’s this misconception that the World Bank, IMF and the BIS get to tell countries what to do.  They don’t…They facilitate.  They make recommendations but they don’t control a country’s bank…

Samson – Dinar Guru Article: “Iraq at the current stage is unable to exit the policies of the US Federal Reserve,”

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Iraq is moving forward.  They’ve got huge reserves…increased their gold, they’re going to have the private sector, their stock exchange is going to be one to reckon with.  It’s an emerging market and a lot of money is going to be start flowing…

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “The Iraqi Parliament receives the 2024 budget schedules”

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  Article:  “A reading in the fiscal and monetary policies of the IMF report – May 2024”   This is not good, mostly because they rely so much on oil revenues and they need to develop the private sector more...Yes Iraq is taking huge leaps and bounds but…there’s a lot of things that still have to be done.

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru  Article: “Specialists: Economic integration and job opportunities await development”  Integration with the global economy, diversifying resources is the only way for Iraq to move forward. Finally we’re beginning to see such steps.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “The Central Bank begins the second phase of its banking reform strategy”  Quote: “what will be achieved from the second phase of the banking reform strategy will be reflected in the stability of the exchange rate and the recovery of the Iraqi dinar inevitably“

Pimpy – Dinar Guru   Article: “Floating the Iraqi dinar.  A solution to fill a ‘gap’ whose volatile price against the dollar”  If the Iraq dinar floats and for whatever reason a lot of people start investing into the currency and it drives the exchange rate up, if it gets anywhere near $0.25 and higher for me, I’m out of there!  Seriously, I will sell my currency…The cool thing about this is there’s no talk about a redenomination.  So are they actually going to float this currency with the zeros on there and take the risk that sucker is going to jump up really high in the exchange rate?  …Keep an eye on that sucker, watch the exchange rate, if it gets anywhere near where you want to sell it, then jump all over it.  I wouldn’t procrastinate or gamble with it.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  Folks just remember I am telling you that Iraq already has a value to the dinar way above the 1/6 of a penny. They do not have to develop the private sector to raise the dinar, the economy or…export more products…

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  Question:  “Is it true the USA invested $60 billion into IQD?”  No.  That’s a rumor.  That’s been going on for years and years and years.  Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody out there has any proof that that’s true.  It’s just a rumor…just like the rumor about Trump owns it and before that we heard Obama owned IQD and before that Bush owned IQD.  Every time there’s a new president we hear that president owns IQD… There’s no proof out there anywhere.  I made that challenge many time for people to show me any proof that any president or any individual has invested in the IQD specifically. It’s just a rumor that’s been going around.  That’s all it is.

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru    …No need for any lower denominations at the current time…

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article Quote:  “Members of the Security Council support ending the mission of the UNAMI mission in Iraq”  Quote:   “A number of members of the UN Security Council – including Russia and China – yesterday, Thursday, supported Baghdad’s request to end the mission of the United Nations Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) by next year, but Washington did not immediately provide its support for this step.“

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: ”The Security Council supports Iraq’s request to end UNAMI’s mission… and an ambiguous American position“
