CBI in Washington to attend meetings of the IMF and World Bank

 

 

BAGHDAD / obelisk: Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday, the delegation will attend the meetings of the IMF and the World Bank in Washington.

A statement by the bank got "obelisk" a copy of "The Governor of the Central Bank and the Agency Abdel Basset Turki attend and his entourage joint spring meetings of the IMF and the World Bank in 2014 in Washington."

The statement added: "On the sidelines of these meetings will be held side meetings with the departments of the International Fund for talks on the prospects Alaguetsadjah and fiscal policies in Iraq."

Wessel: The Likely Buzz at the IMF/World Bank Meetings

Finance ministers and central bankers from around the world descend on Washington this week, as they do every year at this time for the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Here’s a quick guide to what’s likely to be the corridor buzz:

1. Ukraine. With the U.S. and Western Europe urging speedy action, the IMF is still putting the finishing touches on a $14 billion to $18 billion loan to Ukraine, pushing the new government agree to raise natural-gas prices (which are lower than anywhere else in Eastern or Western Europe) while avoiding (what many consider to be) past IMF mistakes of demanding too much belt-tightening. Barring some adverse surprise, the loan is likely to be signed before the end of April. One important detail: Ukraine and the IMF have a plan to give cash to the bottom 30% of households to offset the pain of gas-price hikes.

2. U.S. Congress. Despite pleas from the Obama administration, the U.S. Congress hasn’t approved agreements to shift money from one IMF pocket to another and rejigger to IMF voting power to reflect the rise of Asian emerging markets. The voting change requires consent of countries holding 85% of the voting power in the IMF; so far76.4% of the votes have been cast. But nothing can happen with the U.S.,which holds 17% of the votes so the agreement can’t be implemented until Congress acts. Administration officials are bracing for complaints from visiting foreigners and lectures that the U.S. is eroding its standing in the world. Administration officials will point the finger at Congress and say the president hasn’t given up.

3. China. Economies of much of the world, particularly commodity exporters, are very sensitive to the slowdown in China and there’s widespread curiosity – in some quarters, angst – that China’s shadow banking system is in trouble. But officials in the West figure China has such big reserves and so little reluctance to nationalize private enterprises that it can handle whatever mess the banking system creates. One new development, though: Renewed focus on the yuan. After years of gradually climbing, the Chinese currency lately has been falling, prompting suspicions in Washington that Chinese leaders are trying to sustain exports by pushing the currency down – and that’s likely to draw some criticism both from the U.S. and from Europe (where the euro has been uncomfortably strong.)

Bloomberg News

4. The exit. After last year’s “taper tantrum” – the sharp reaction of financial markets to the Federal Reserve’s first move toward reducing the pace of its bond purchases (“quantitative easing”), the Fed drew stiff criticism for not paying enough attention to the impact of its policies on the rest of the world, particularly emerging markets. Emerging-market financial markets have calmed down and Fed officials have tried to be better at communications, but officials from India and elsewhere are likely to use the spotlight of the spring meetings to renew their calls on advanced-economy central banks to take a more global view of their responsibilities, a/k/a “international monetary policy cooperation.”

Janet Yellen, chairwoman of the U.S. Federal Reserve   Bloomberg News

5. Global growth. This is always on the agenda, of course, but the nature of the conversation has shifted from recession-fighting to widespread anxiety that the crisis did lasting harm to the potential pace of growth in many parts of the world – and that a prolonged period of high unemployment and, in many countries, low investment is going to doom the world to distressingly slow economic growth rates. Although there’s far from a universal consensus on remedies, and the circumstances vary by country, there is more talk than there has been in recent years about the benefits of increased public investment and less talk about the urgency of reducing government budget deficits.

So, they're having side meetings on the sidelines?

Sounds like some shady transactions with the bookies betting on RV or no RV and placing spreads on the date and rate.

lol....ok and If I am wrong I will just close my eyes and pick another date...(I think that is how it is done)

[Dinarian64]

[EagleEye]

Nope that is passover

 

easter is 4/20/2014 this year

passover begins on the 15th

 

you took the words out of my mouth

 

BTW it marks the start of the "blood moon" .....hmmmm

[Dinarian64]

Apparently Iraqis put a lot of emphasis on moons so that's a good sign thanks Eagle eye

And yes go RV on the Last Supper

Btw what makes a blood moon?

[MyLadiesDaddy]

I'm not really, "calling it", just think it's a very good possibility.

A blood moon during Passover has historically been a harbinger. When the first

Passover occurred in Egypt it was during a blood moon. And there are several

other major events in Israel's history that happened during a blood moon. SO, you

may wonder how blood moon's and Israel's history has anything to do with dinar.

The RV is, in my not so humble opinion, LOL the rise of Babylon. And that is foretold

throughout the bible. The rise of Babylon will eventually bring to light the one world

government. The one world government is prophesied to bring all nations against

Israel. SO yes, I believe that 4-15-2014 is a very good possibility.

They never give a date with these meetings. They just state in the spring.  Has anyone seen a schedule they are meeting in Washington?  It would have to be long before May 22 and maybe after elections. Anyone have similar thoughts?

[RedTailedHawk]

LGD, I always appreciate the esoteric/cultural perspective you bring to DV. Those sorts of events and markers are most definitely significant and motivating to their respective cultures.

Gosh let's hope it's not WW3 where we all get annihilated!

Let's hope for an awakening in all people versus some bloody mess.

I like to think of the Apocalypse in the Bible as someone a long long time ago peeking into our future and trying to make sense of all they see. Certainly helicopters flying around and oilfield burning during the Gulf War could've been that picture.. That it is merely a change in consciousness and connection to all that is....
