Samson – Dinar Guru Article: “With a growth rate of 150%… taxes announce an increase in their revenues to more than 4 trillion” Quote: “Baghdad The General Tax Authority announced, on Thursday, that its revenues had risen to 4 trillion and 500 million dinars within 8 months…”
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru An investment budget it’s not going to work at 1310. They don’t have enough dinar to do that…The project is to delete the zeros off the exchange rate. Once they have done that, they’ve applied the Real Effective Exchange Rate they’re going to have to do things differently. The world knows that. WTO…Bank of International Settlements … IMF…US Treasury…US Fed – everybody seems to be the ones that are knowing it but they just haven’t quite done it yet or are they working to finish a process that is highly complex? That’s my opinion…
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Iraq has a few more things they really have to fix. Taxation [and] their tax system in general. In addition to that they have to learn how to balance a budget…Balancing their budget, fixing their tax system would go a long ways in Iraq…
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru …the hot topic in the CBI, as my contact told me…is that the CBI is working towards getting the parallel black market rate in check with the “official” CBI rate of the dinar. I asked my contact why the past plan to end this crisis has not yet ended it? I was told it is taking more than expected for the measures underway to take hold, but that they will eventually end the crisis and the rate will come down… [post 1 of 2]
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru I then asked about the “basket of currencies” we been hearing about to re-peg the dinar. I was told this is coming but they can’t peg the current in-country rate until they resolve the parallel market crisis and move to FOREX. This is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. This falls directly in-line with the 2011 Dr. Shabibi plan I have talked so much about already. So all is very good in my eyes as far as this process goes. [post 2 of 2]
Clare
Clare – Dinar Guru Article: “Sudanese Advisor: The dollar is declining, prices are stabilizing, and expectations are optimistic” [Note: We want to see the dollar declining in Iraq. This is good for the dinar.]
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru They said only one currency by the first of this next year and they also said that the taxation will be on the dinar, customs and borders this year. They’ll have to educate those citizens effectively though – in the next 10 days. We’re going to watch and see how it rolls.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru With them taking away the US dollar there’s some logic to…an increase in Iraqi dinar. Will they? You’re not going to see them go 1 for 1… Nothing would make me happier than to be wrong about this. I would love to go, ‘Oh, my gosh, everybody was right and I was wrong. Darn.‘ As I take my dinar down to the bank…It’s not that simple. There are a lot of hurdles and…precautions countries have to take before you do anything that outrageous with your exchange rate. The best you can hope for is it goes up in increments…You’re not going to see any huge significant change in the Iraqi exchange rate despite the fact they’re taking away the US dollar.
Dinar Investor – Jeff
Dinar Investor – Jeff The elections are the linchpin to all their remaining economic steps and movements including the rate change…These elections were a reform step, which is exactly what the rate change has been waiting on throughout this entire year.
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru Since November of last year they have been working to do what? Get rid of the parallel market. And how are they doing that? They’re populating banks with many other currencies. They’re doing all those things that are necessary to do what? Be article VIII compliant, to have a single currency, not a dual currency country. They’re getting rid of multi-currency practices.
RVAlready
RVAlready – Dinar Guru …if Iraq wants to pay out the 2023 budget between now and Jan 1, they need to RV their currency.
BGG ~ So wait a sec… what’s so different about this budget (and this short period of time – leading up to Jan 1st) and every other budget year in Iraq since, like, 2006 or so?? Really??
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru … We can clearly see that Iraq is moving to the normalization of how to do business with other countries and moving out of the sanctioned way of doing business with the world. They are already doing INTERNATIONAL. It is happening right now…Folks, I can not emphasize enough just how good all this news is today. WOW, WOW WOW!
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Article: “Launch of the third annual scientific conference on economic challenges and reform in Iraq” This part is very interesting to me. Quote: “Restructuring the general budget” Why would they have to restructure the general budget unless there’s about to be some changes made. I don’t want to get all crazy and make assumptions that it has something to do with the change in the exchange rate but I find this very interesting. Like I said, if they’re going to ever change the exchange rate they usually do it at the end of the year or the beginning of the year so everybody could do what? Restructure their budgets for the year...I do find this interesting…my ears are perking…what do you got going on over there Iraq?
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru People need to know what they own. I feel what we’re presenting to everybody is the ability to have a better understanding and know what you own…It’s going to be really important because you’re going to know the consequences…This is a complex event. It’s going to be a complex event. They’ve proven it to us that there’s so much more than just flipping the switch. You can’t just think basic. You got to remember ...it’s not their job to tell you everything…Understand what you own. The Iraqi dinar should not be taken lightly.
Dinar Investor – Jeff
Dinar Investor – Jeff The elections are the lynch-pin to the rate change. That’s what we’ve waited on this entire year to even get to the point of being eligible to change the rate…Remember, it was the central bank’s absolute minimum requirement to have and hold these elections. Or really to remove corruption. The most effective fastest way to remove corruption is through elections and that’s what you’re witnessing…
Kaperoni
Kaperoni – Dinar Guru A country’s exchange rate is the result of the success and growth of their own economy. When you have a weak economy, you have a weak exchange rate. Until Iraq passes laws, diversifies their economy and increases their GDP, nothing will happen with the dinar. When Iraq passed their tripartite 3 year budget a few months back, it created the conditions for them to diversify and privatize their economy over the next three years. Now Iraq is on the clock to accomplish such.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru What the IMF is saying is really good. But, no, the exchange rate isn’t going change tomorrow. It’s just another step in the right direction for Iraq…
Nader
Nader – Dinar Guru Everybody’s asking me what’s going on. What’s the news. The news, you will see it on the 1st of January – what exactly is going on. They already gave you a date. I told you the 1st of January we’ll be out of the dollar. We will not work with the dollar anymore in Iraq.
BGG ~ This isn’t a great characterization… it will supposedly be illegal to use USD for commercial and GOI transactions. It is yet to be seen how they enforce this overall though. A better definition might be; this is one more step in the right direction – as opposed to “this is the end-point of THE JOURNEY”…
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Iraq is still taking the steps necessary to stabilize their economy, stabilize their currency, give value and strength to the Iraqi dinar.
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar They’re talking about reducing Iraq’s dependence on oil. Dependence on oil is going to go away because they have non oil related products…services…and sectors. That’s going to be from the taxes and tariffs at the borders, imports, exports, natural resources. They’re going to have other than just oil. They’re going to have other circumstances…They’re talking about 350 million ton of sulfur…They’re trying to achieve sustainability for the private sector…
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Question: “Is Iraq part of any currency basket?” No…They have not been invited to be part of any currency basket. Iraq is part of the currency basket that makes up the Arab accounting dinar but that’s local, regional…There are no other currency baskets, I mean zero, that Iraq is part of at all. Nothing in trade. Nothing in business. Nothing internationally. They don’t have a stable currency.

Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Article: “IMF expresses optimism about non-oil financial growth in Iraq” This is a major must for Iraq. They need… non-oil financial growth…They can’t get to this fast enough. They can’t get this to grow quick enough. The fact they rely so much on oil is going to hurt them instead of benefit them…If oil prices fall, they’re back to square one and they’ll start devaluing the Iraqi dinar if they can’t find alternative to generate revenue for the state.
Dinar Investor – Jeff
Dinar Investor – Jeff The reforms are absolutely waiting on the rate change to implement. They can’t implement the reforms without changing the rate. They’re telling you the rate change itself is very clearly waiting and has been waiting this entire year on these [provincial] elections…
Sandy Ingram
Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru Article: “Iraq links Baghdad US embassy attackers to security services” The attacks against US forces have continued. The Iraqi government said several people who are alleged to have attacked the US embassy in Iraq last week have links to the country security services…
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru Everybody knows Iraq is about to go International and they’re going to have a digital transformation…When they have this investment budget and they start spending…Iraq is going to be filthy rich with revenue streams from the electronic borders, agriculture, tourism… mining, sulfur, phosphates…they’re going to have revenue like no other. There isn’t anything else like it, in my lifetime, that I can see is going to trump Iraq… Don’t forget…Iraq has a massive amount of hydrogen for clean energy…nobody else is talking about it...The amount of money and revenue streams Iraq is going to have is almost incomprehensible…It really is intense on how much money these guys are going to make on a regular basis.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru I get it there are people out there telling you it’s going to happen overnight because they have an electric payment system. No, no they’re not going to change your exchange rate just because of the electronic payment system. The electronic payment system will help influence it once it’s up and fully implemented but it has nothing to do with being reinstated. It’ll keep increasing in increments just like I said…
Dinar Investor – Jeff
Dinar Investor – Jeff Since October of last year [Iraq’s Federal elections] they have been setting the economic stage for the rate change… They’re done setting the economic stage. They don’t have any more economic steps to do. That’s why they’re finishing the very last step of removing and cleaning up corruption at the second half of the government – The provincial level.
