mike –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>…it’s tough to say when Iraq will add value to the dinar. \u00a0They’ve got some hurdles to get over before we can even think about when they add value, stuff like deposit insurance, banking reforms and Article VIII to name a few.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve always placed more importance and value on information from the folks at the IMF, WB and others, and<\/span>\u00a0if they say they have a plan for the first half of 2016, then it just might happen.<\/span><\/strong>

Aggiedad77 –<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Well…well…what a wake up call for a Saturday morning…do you know where your Central Bank governor is and what his name is…yet another article…actually two articles that say Allak is not getting the job done and needs to be replaced<\/strong>.<\/span>..this time it comes from an Iraqi cleric…Sadr…so they finally see that Allak is merely a Maliki puppet…they want someone who is capable of working in an efficient and impartial manner…In other words someone who knows what the heck is going on and how to turn things around…someone of integrity… who should be above corruption at all levels of enticement…that sure sounds like Dr. Shabibi to me…Keep in mind this is yet another “suggestion” to PM Abadi and no action has been forthcoming as yet…but IMO…just a matter of time<\/span><\/strong>…give Abadi time to get home from Germany and let’s watch with interest all that transpires.

rcookie –<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Press Release\u00a0Quote:\u00a0 “The International Monetary Fund (IMF)\u2019s Middle East Regional Technical Assistance Center (METAC) and the Statistics Department held a workshop on \u201cPrice Index Compilation Issues\u201d in Beirut, Lebanon from February 1-5, 2016<\/em>.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0MANY OF THESE INITIATIVES BEING WORKED ON AT THESE WORKSHOPS…ARE THE VERY THINGS THEY ARE BEING TASKED TO DO WITH IMF LOI\/MEFP\/TECH MOU…AND THESE WORKSHOPS ARE BUILT STRATEGICALLY AROUND REVIEW PERIODS<\/strong>…IF YOU READ THE 2016 BUDGET…THE VARIOUS LOI\/MEFP\/TECH MOU’S AND SMP (STAFF MONITORED PROGRAM)…AND THE METAC WORKSHOP AGENDAS….THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AS TO THE CO-AUTHORING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN IRAQ AND IMF & WB TOWARD THEIR ECONOMIC & MONETARY REFORM ACTION PLAN.<\/strong>

wmawhite –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>…to change a culture of greed and corruption is never accomplished overnight…thankfully, PM Abadi has taken the first steps to make those changes<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 here is a question for all of us involved, “do you think that the IMF was aware of these issues back in November 2015 when they stated\u00a0their expectations was for Iraq to enter the economy market during the 1st half of 2016<\/span><\/em>?”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Answer: OF COURSE THEY WERE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES<\/span>!<\/strong>

tman23 –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The market and investors do not like UNCERTAINTY…And uncertainty has hurt both the KRG and GOI.\u00a0 Barzani said last month that the KRG will have it’s government issues solved before the beginning of March. Abadi appears to be on the same fast track with the GOI.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The question becomes…with the reshuffling of the deck in Iraq government positions…how plausible is it to see a change in value of the currency until the new people are seated and the dust settles?<\/strong>

Frank26 –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>I-TEAM and I had a conversation today…in that conversation I expressed to them that IMO we are looking at a very serious potential of them removing the program rate, lifting Article 8 by the end of March…and they said…more than likely it won\u2019t be March…because in their opinion they are looking at February.<\/span><\/strong>

However, it is easy for us to tie the two together.<\/strong>\u00a0 For those folks who have studied the Technical Letter of Agreement and MoU…it is very obvious that the IMF, GOI and CBI are shooting for a major event in the near future…IMO…and\u00a0that is in keeping with what they told the world that Iraq is expected to join the economy market during the 1st half of 2016<\/span>.<\/strong>
