Militia Man – Dinar Guru It’s been weeks…and still to this day they haven’t actually shown us the spending ability of the budget. Why is that? It’s obvious – they’re not coming out at 1310, 1320 or 1305...
Tishwash
Tishwash – Dinar Guru Article: “The Sudanese government acknowledges the experience of dollar speculators and counts on September” Quote: “The launch of the budget definitely means the availability of funds… and this means that there is a large cash flow. ” Al-Awadi added, “Many financial advisors in the government hope, with the release of budget funds, that next month will be a catalyst for the very large decrease in the dollar exchange rate.”

Militia Man – Dinar Guru Article: “The dinar is in the central recovery rooms.. and accusations against the Americans of creating crises” Quote: “…The National Currency requires elaborate measures to maintain strength in value internally and externally, on the basis of the measures to be taken will activate the private sector and expand the import and reduce exports.” I may have this wrong, but, to build out the country, they need to do just as it is being stated. They need to take extreme measures to get the imports increased and the exports reduced. Why? Because, it is far cheaper to re-build the country with strength in the national currency. It is the foremost item that is now needed.

Samson – Dinar Guru Article: “The dinar is in the central recovery rooms.. and accusations against the Americans of creating crises” Quote: “The sources of countries’ strength in the economic field are determined by several factors, foremost of which is the national currency, which requires elaborate measures to maintain its strength internally and externally, and the basis of these measures is to activate the private sector, expand the import sector and reduce exports.”
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Article: “Oil and gas…A law to resolve the dispute between Baghdad an 8th region, and a gateway to open all files” The oil and gas law issue has not been resolved. This has been ongoing for years…the hang up has a lot to do with the oil fields that were found after the constitution was written and they’re saying technically it belongs to them but Iraq is saying, no, those still belong to us…
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru The Oil and Gas Law…they keep saying they’re going to have things done. I believe these guys have already done almost all the leg work… Article quote: “they’re in very advanced steps in accelerating the legislation of the oil and gas law…” They’re basically saying we’re going to approve the law end of story. That’s phenomenal…
Clare
Clare – Dinar Guru Article: “What are the reasons for the weakness of the Iraqi dinar compared to other currencies? … An economist answers” Quote: “Al-Mashhadani said, The other matter is trade, that is, import and export, without relying on the government sector in particular. In Iraq’s markets, as a result of the large discrepancy between import and export, it is natural that there is a great demand for dollars…The Iraqi dinar has been in an unenviable situation for nearly 20 years. After one dinar was equal to 3 and a half dollars during the past century, it reached more than 1550 against one US dollar, which caused problems in the Iraqi economy.”
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru If you’re trying to buy widgets at 1310 dinar to a dollar you can’t get very many widgets…Once they change the value of their currency to reflect the Real Effective Exchange Rate things become a lot cheaper for Iraq especially if they have the backing to prove they have…oil, gas, natural resources, tourism – all those things…they can easily meet a similarity to Kuwait. They’re a bigger country, they have more assets…They have everything going for them…they’re definitely undervalued at this time.
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru Article “Towards a new global financial system Economical” This article doesn’t go so far as to suggest Iraq is in the running or even applying to be a member of BRICS. Iraq may fall into the category of interested and monitoring developments while collecting and analyzing information. We will be watching close…
Breitling
Breitling – Dinar Guru Look at all the countries surrounding Iraq and you look at the values of the currencies and you average it out. They don’t want to be below that average. They don’t want to be too far above that average because they’d be too expensive to do business with them.
Kaperoni
Kaperoni – Dinar Guru Iraq made a decision some years ago that they want to raise the exchange rate based on the economic success of the country. This is the only way Iraq could afford such an event. Only with the success and growth and increase in GDP can the dinar go up in value. This takes time.
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru The Central Bank put out strict measures…now they’ve put out a 4th package. That 4th package is to reduce the interfaces for people to be able to get the dollar. Once they get rid of the dollar, what happens? The parallel market is going to get even worse… because …supply and demand. If you reduce the dollar, it’ll become so expensive that they’re not going to want to use it. There will come a time where because they can’t get it they’ll be forced to use their own dinar. That’s what this package is dealing with.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru For 20 years Iraq has passed and was able to implement a budget even with the bad exchange rate… But people out there say, ‘It’s impossible, this budget won’t be able to make it without a higher exchange rate.‘ That’s not true. Who said they can’t make it without a higher exchange rate? …the exchange rate does affect the budget but…they already know the value of their currency. The entire budget is based on that value…I’m not saying you guys [Iraqis] couldn’t appreciate a much higher exchange rate. I know we would love for you guys to get one…but…those individuals out there swearing up and down Iraq is not going to be able to make it without a higher exchange rate for these budgets, that’s just a false claim…
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru Article: “Development Fund.. a step for economic advancement and investment revival” This article is packed with data! They are talking about the “nucleus” of the projects that will get Iraq into the real world of infrastructure build out, to get the development project off the ground and into to the private sector…It is all about show time…The costs associated with building networks of industrial cities, infrastructure, etc.. It is going to be massive and effectively far more cheaper once they adjust their currency to reflect a real effective exchange rate.. Amazingly cheaper IMO…
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru the BIG, BIG news…I quote- “the technical advisor to the Prime Minister, Muhammad Sahib al-Darraji, confirmed that Iraq did not actually come out from under Chapter Seven, indicating that the Federal Bank controls the dollar.” Actually “officially”…Iraq has been “fully” released out of Chapter VII. So why does this advisor say otherwise? …the US won’t let Iraq get out their control of the billions of dollars of oil revenues flowing through the NY Chase Bank. That is really the issue...So, what situation does this put us in for getting the RV? [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru Common sense dictates that the US will have to let go eventually and allow the full impact on Iraq of getting out of Chapter VII and freeing up their oil $$ under their control once again. The mere fact that we are seeing an article like this one tells us the pressure is building to let go. This may take some actions from the UN to force the US to let go. They will also have to let go of OFAC sanctions on the dinar, which are still be imposed on it. If the constitution is fully implemented and the Pillars of Financial Reform are completed, we may see the RV and the Reinstatement. [post 2 of 2]
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru They are going to need the exchange rate change to value the oil and gas law so they can distribute the wealth to the citizens.
Paulette
Paulette – Dinar Guru Community Comment: “At 1310 they could roll it [the budget] out but would run out of money due to high cost of materials needed to be brought into country without a new rate, a new rate will allow them to buy more materials …1310 will bankrupt them internationally” I am not sure why they would run out of IQD to bring materials into the country. I thought that they have to pay for all imports with USD, The IQD is sanctioned and not able to be used to pay for imports. Isn’t this the whole reason for Currency Sales of 200 million plus daily in order to pay imports?
Breitling
Breitling – Dinar Guru There’s an email being blasted out about Warka [Bank in Iraq] selling stock in Warka, where you can buy shares and own a share of Warka. I have not been able to confirm that and I know people who work at Warka so that’s not a good sign. Even if they did offer that I sure as hell wouldn’t get into that…It’s backed by the CBI but it’s also sanctioned by the CBI. Until they open everybody’s account I’m not doing anything with Warka. I’m not afraid of losing my dinar or anything like that and if something like that did come up we have a lock tight mother scratching lawsuit that we will win and they will suffer. I’m not worried about that.
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru …they are doing a lot with the budget and finalizing disbursements and allocations. They are getting ready to spend money. Some of those time frames are coming on us quickly…I think things are pretty darn exciting.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Article: “The Iraqi delegation in Washington paves the way for the Sudanese” Looks like the delegation from Iraq is here in the United States meeting with our officials over here in Washington. Looks like they’re doing all they can to prepare a visit from Al-Sudani…
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru They want to ween themselves off the dollar. We’ve seen numerous things about the dollar being phased out because the multi-currency practices aren’t allowed and the black market is an illegal market…they don’t want that illegal side of things anymore…
Samson
Samson – Dinar Guru Article: “The Iraqi delegation in Washington paves the way for the Sudanese” Quote: “…there are usually preliminary meetings related to the strategic framework agreement, prior to reaching the summit meeting between the two parties,” and it is likely that “this meeting will include US President Joe Biden and Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani.”
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru Article: “CENTRAL BANK THREATENS EXCHANGE COMPANIES WITH UNPRECEDENTED MEASURES” Quote: “The Central Bank of Iraq issued new directives that included strict measures on exchange companies, reaching the point of withdrawing their licenses and denying them access to the window of buying and selling currency.” WOW! So the CBI is VERY serious and its about time!
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru I know they have been approached by the BRICs but you’re not going to see them go because the IQD and Iraq is still under sanction and restriction by the United States government. Not to mention we hold their gold and we hold their foreign asset reserve. So no they’re not going make that move. I wouldn’t worry about it, not at the moment…
BGG ~ Personally, I think it would be the best thing in the world for the Dinar Investor if they did join some “Brics type” union APART from the US. They could even be a reserve currency (since their oil would be bought and sold in Dinar)… meaning the currency you hold would be vastly more valuable. Forget what the US thinks…
Petra
Petra – Dinar Guru What is stopping them from moving forward? …yes, the rate…AND…Sadani’s integrity with the people, as well as Alaq and his position as “independent” from the GOI...With the article indicating the Parliamentary Finance Committee recommending that the Budget to be released on the 18th is a “message” to Alaq to move on the rate!
Kaperoni
Kaperoni – Dinar Guru Question: “US [IQD] paper holders should be able to exchange in the US for US$ at some point in the future?” The dinar is a currency of a country therefore it has monetary value that can be exchanged at any time at its current value. Any alternative process is unknown…
Militia Man
Militia Man – Dinar Guru Iraq has been destroyed and war torn. They are going to need the IFC (International Financial Corporation)…Their main business is taking countries to the private sector. It’s phenomenal. Anybody that says, ‘This will never happen. Is not going to happen. It’s a scam.’ They’re misled. That’s all there is to it. This country is going international…
Jeff
Jeff – Dinar Guru Everybody’s…focusing on releasing of the the budget monies. They are under the assumption that releasing the budget monies brings forward the rate change. I’m sorry but it doesn’t work that way. There’s other steps that have to happen that introduces the rate change.
Pimpy
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Article: “Parliamentary Finance likely to launch budget funds after July 18” So here we are. We’ve passed the budget. It’s made the Gazette and still they have not allocated out the money.
