King Bean Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great find, Wiljor. +1. The key part, to me, is it opened in Erbil, not Baghdad. There's no confidence in the security of Baghdad yet. Abadi and team have a lot of work to do still. But international players are coming to Iraq. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamtap Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 That sounds all good and well but until and unless the people there have 24 hour electricity service in their homes it's not such a big deal.......However, the timing of this is eyebrow raising!

ChuckFinley Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Great News, this put pressure on having some purchasing power for the dinar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synopsis Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thank You, Wiljor, for posting this and all the other great articles! The Best Of Your Weekend To You!!! So, OK, LG opened its largest overseas brand shop in Iraq. And Erbil of all places. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................................................only to wait for business to arrive weeks, months, or years down the road???!!! I don't think so. And why would Iraqis need electronics anyway especially without reliable electricity to charge/power those electronics???!!! New "purchasing power" for the Kurds like in an HCL???!!! OK, maybe a wee bit optimistic here but something appears to be going on beyond just opening an electronics store in some Stone Age/Third Whirled (OK, World) Country. I could almost bet those 200 gubmint and media officials attending the opening ceremony were given some "party favors" (i.e. handy electronics) just for showing up!!! 870 square meters is about 28,100 square feet and about 2/3rds of an acre. That is a huge floor???!!! I wonder if they had to build an adjoining parking garage for the Iraqi citizens to park their cars they just purchased with the fairly recent available bank loans???!!! I can hear the vacuum cleaner now sucking up all the CHUNKAE' MONAE'???!!! Woo Hoo!!! YEAH, BABY............................... Go Moola Nova! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
