Bottom line...........nothing got done.................

The IMF report noted that with emerging markets now accounting for almost 40% of global consumption — and more than two-thirds of global growth — a slowdown in these economies would deal a serious blow to the global recovery — and to the rebalancing that needs to take place. The report went on to note that for some countries, “allowing the currency to appreciate would help combat overheating pressures and facilitate a healthy rebalancing from external to domestic demand.” And in those countries where the currency is above levels consistent with medium-term fundamentals, the IMF said fiscal adjustment can help lower interest rates and restrain domestic demand.

Nope....did not work.....

Iraq could join WTO by end of 2011-US official Tweet ThisShare on LinkedIn Share on Facebook0diggsdiggSun Nov 22, 2009 5:49am EST * Iraqi ministries eye WTO membership for higher tariffs * WTO entry seen as encouraging foreign investment, trade BAGHDAD, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Iraq could get membership in the World Trade Organization by end-2011 if it actively pursues accession, which could help the country's rebuilding efforts by boosting trade and investment, a U.S. official said. Iraq began the accession process in 2004 but has taken only the initial steps needed for membership. Iraq's benefits might also be limited since Iran, one of its main trading partners, is not a member. But some Iraqi ministries, like the finance ministry, are keen on accession because it would boost trade, and revenues from tariffs, said Larry Morgan, director of international trade at the U.S. Agency for International Development's Tijara project, which advises Iraq's trade ministry on WTO issues. "As it stands, it's been a very slow process, but they are not that far off from the trajectory," said Morgan. "I'd say if they apply reasonable due diligence, then they could join by the end of 2011. That would be the earliest they could do it." WTO accession stands to increase Iraq's access to imported goods, introduce standardisation and quality control of goods and pave the way for less chaotic and bureaucratic customs practices, Morgan said. "It would allow Iraqi customs to join the modern world," he said. "For Iraqi businessmen or women, this country has one of the worst records of time required to import or export goods." Foreign businesses would have a greater sense of protection before venturing into the Iraqi market, aiding Iraq's efforts to develop tourism and financial services industries, Morgan said. Analysts however caution that Iraq is unlikely to diversify its economy beyond oil -- which already accounts for 95 percent of government revenues -- and that red tape and political bickering have thrown many project timetables off track.

IMO.........I think we should get out of their and give Al Sadr a chance to fufill his commitment......I don't think that he will, but atleast the govt. would have shown grace to him. Then, the govt. could justify getting rid of Al-Sadr and his followers...........

Is it just me or does this article make it seem like gas prices are about to go through the roof?? Am I reading this wrong??

Are they voting next week or tomorrow?? I have read both......

That is great!

I really do think that you are on to something here...........................

This is a good read, it is delaing in the Basel III http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE70D27120110114 ha.......its a little funny I found this right after I found the last one.................. Sorry about that..........here is the link..........http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/01/14/noyerbanks-prepare-prompt-basel-iii-implementation/

The funny thing is that it still say's this::::::::::: Notice: IQD may be redenominated by the end of 2010. More on the Iraqi Dinar:::::::::::::: They need to update their info. It is 2011 now...............

I feel I am confused. If the rate is, "XE.com" is 1.00 USD = 1,178.48 IQD, this is bad. That means that we are getting more IQD per 1 us dollar. This would mean that the value of the IQD went down????Right? Same concept with the KWD..................?

Here we go again..........................
