  2. Monetary policy and raise the visa fees for Iranians Friday, 15 March 2019 https://kitabat.com/2019/03/15/السياسة-النقدية-ورفع-رسوم-تأشيرة-دخول/ The monetary policy aimed at emptying the treasury of the Iraqi state is part of the plan to dispel the wealth of Iraq to continue the scarcity of cash from hard currency in order not to increase the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar .. because it is obvious whenever the reserve of hard currency increases in the state treasury whenever the value of the local currency increases. The Central Bank has been working for years over the sale of the dollar by selling the currency as it is known for the purpose of smuggling abroad by the powerful thieves and the largest part of it was going to the Iranian banks to increase Iranian reserves of hard currency to increase the value of the currency IRA The deficit in the Iraqi budget continues, so that there is no significant difference between the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar and the price of the Iranian currency, ie, there is no difference in the value of the two currencies on which the trade is based, because in many cases of sale and purchase were in the Iranian Toman in the provinces of the south Especially Basra .. But after the impact of US sanctions on Iran, which led to a huge decline in the Iranian Toman, which led to a decline in the balance of trade between the two countries and the decline of religious tourism until the gap became deep and the difference between the large Iraqi and Iranian currency, To bring the remainder of the goods in Iraq to save the Iranian economy through economic agreements turned the balance of trade to zero in terms of Iraq to be a backyard and a consumer state for all Iranian products without exporting any Iraqi goods to Iran because the case of Iraq as it is known has nothing And the majority of its revenues go to Iran to cover its absurd wars here and there and the remaining enters the pockets of thieves in the form of salaries and privileges fairy .. Also within the dictates that are falsely called agreements are the cancellation of the fees of visas for Iranians to Iraq so as not to compromise Iran's work If we imposed the entry of 7 million Iranians in the seasons of visits and each person pays at least $ 20 visa fees to become the income of Iraq from the visits of up to $ 140 million this amount lifted from the mouth of Iraqis and entered the stomach of the sons of Iran as well as the establishment of the Iraqi state And the religious thresholds to spend on Iranian visitors and provide the food and service they need free of charge at the expense of Iraq, which caused the loss of economic double in order to enjoy the worship of the masses in the goods of Iraq .. The evidence of the above if we return to memory before the US embargo on Iraq where it was Budget of Dr The Iraqi nation is 11 billion dollars and the dollar exchange rate was 3.3 and today the state budget is 450 billion and the exchange rate of the dollar is 1189 dinars .. Who is responsible for this and for the benefit of ..

  3. Just some random thoughts on this whole IQD adventure. No advice offered here......just trying to provoke thought......and please add your thoughts........that's the whole idea of of a forum/blog..... The IQD and VND for that matter were once valued at a much higher rate than today. Due to US involvement military events.....and all that go with that....sanctions etc.......the rates are now very low.... The Geo-Political problems of the world are greatly enhanced by the financial issues.......hundreds of trillions of debt world wide, and a mostly whole world fiat based currency where currency value has been built on nothing. Something has to give. I have to believe you are reading this because of your interest in the IQD.....so I'll stay on that subject....... For Years Iraq has used the USD as a value of trade. For that reason alone we may see a 1-1 value of the USD-IQD sometime in the future. Let's use that number for sake of discussion. Anyone following any of this understands the challenges Iraq has endured. It appears many have been resolved and Iraq may be ready to rejoin the mainstream world once again. We'll see? So today you get a text........there has been a change in value..........what's next? For discussion sake .......Let's say you hold 1 million IQD..........that would now be the equivalent of 10,000 Benjamins.......or 50 lbs. of Gold..........will you just throw your IQD in your pocket and take a trip down to the bank?...........would you carry that same amount of Gold.......or all those Benjamins with you...........any where??? Perhaps You need protection........who can you trust with that? Someone out of the phone book.....?.....perhaps a friend.....you know people go into 7/11's and kill people for 50 bucks.......... Then again, how many people know about your investment..........probably most thought you were crazy.........but they know.......and what danger might that hold......? How big of a town do you live in???.......In a town of under 100,000 in population I believe anyone walking into a bank and depositing a million bucks........that news will travel fast........might you consider driving to a larger town and depositing into a bank different from the one at home...... You get an email........someone you may know from a IQD forum has a solution to all of these questions........send your IQD to them, or someone they know.......they will handle everything for you.......how do you think that might work out?.............even when at an financial institution .....never let it out of your site.........they will have the means to verify the authenticity on site...........even just the black light methods are highly effective. Taxes........Common income......capital gains.......windfall tax........no tax.........??? See a professional.......there are many ways to legally reduce your tax liabilities.........for a start....if you live in a State like California you can save about 13% annually by just moving out...... Life after the fact.........depends on the rate and amount of IQD you have..........I have read all the grand ideas people have..........they must believe they will all become billionaires........ I doubt that will be the case. I suggest for the first year you just live your life as normal. Buy little......perhaps Uncle Joe left you a small inheritance........but because of some new found wealth........don't let the money blow your life up....... . So.........Good luck to all..........CL

  4. 3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...On Wednesday I called my source in the CBI and had a chat. I am not hearing of any target date for this week or over the weekend to reinstate the dinar on FOREX...Again, I am telling everyone we are just now waiting for the last 4 ministers to be seated (especially the interior minister) as the Iraqis have been told many times they need a “fully” formed and functional government or they will not be allowed to reinstate the currency...Meanwhile I am told the CBI is ready and has been ready. They have had a lot of cleanup on the banking and currency fraud with the currency auctions. But at the point it will NOT stop the reinstatement once approved. They need desperately to move forward...(post 1 of 2)... 3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the CBI...must wait for the GOI and IMF to give the green light. I was told that no smaller category notes have yet been launched only more of the existing 250, 500 and 1000 notes in the ATMS...but what about the much lower 100, 50, 5, 10 and fils? Yes, this is an important question to ask for as far as Iraqis are concerned the lower denominations are out already but not the ones we are looking for...(post 2 of 2)... 3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Oil saw a nice upward spike yesterday. We're not quite to $60, but the trend is still positive. I expect it to pull back a tiny smidge, then continue the steady pace in this direction...I'm not saying "the day OIL hits $60, we will have an RV"! $60 was the direction I wanted to see, and we're basically there. As long as the current trend continues, we are in the (green) zone. Steady and controlled oil prices, + steady and stable GOI, + some HCL goodies...that's what we're looking for, and it keeps coming!...(post 1 of 3)... 3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana One item that is of note, and may push us out just a little bit, is the budget/fiscal year. There is a LOT of accounting to be done with any kind of monetary change, and it would certainly make things cleaner to change the rate on a specific date that coincided with something logical like the start of a fiscal year or quarter, or perhaps the beginning of a new budget, or something like that. We are a couple weeks away from the end of Iraq's first fiscal quarter. Their fiscal (XYZ) can be a bit confusing because they don't get the new budget out until after the new fiscal year has already begun, and in the past they have stated that surplus in the budget applies to the following year. Oh, there's nothing like proper planning, where the first three months of the year you have no idea what's in your checking account or what bills are in the mailbox...(post 2 of 3)... 3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana That's nothing to concern us, of course. In fact, with the steady progress we're seeing in all other areas, the prospect of a currency value change at the start of Iraq's Q2 is a pretty reasonable thought. In other news... not much I can say right now! Parliament is in session and WORKING. We don't have an announcement, but all of the clues are saying *soon*. I'll be monitoring...(post 3 of 3)... 3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So far, no voting in parliament on the last 4 ministers. Saturdays promised voting was not completed and postponed yet again. However no new date was confirmed or announce right away. Article quote: "The candidate of the Minister of the Interior has not been agreed upon so far, but Fayadh officially withdrew his candidacy." So another article says that the PM is now able to put his own selection of candidates forward and vote on them. We are told they plan to try again in Thursday 3/21. Have a great St. Patrick's Day Weekend everyone....Blessings...RON

  6. Iraq and Iran Build Economic Ties With the U.S. on the Sidelines Reports & News Iraqi President Barham Saleh (R) shakes hands with his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani upon his arrival at the Presidential palace in Baghdad on March 11, 2019. – Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani arrived in Iraq for his first official visit, as Baghdad comes under pressure from Washington to limit political and trade ties with its neighbour. (Photo by SABAH ARAR / AFP) (Photo credit should read SABAH ARAR/AFP/Getty Images) In the contest for Iraq’s loyalty, geography is proving irresistible. Baghdad is being urged to take sides in the U.S.-Iran confrontation that’s escalated into one of the Middle East’s top flash-points. President Donald Trump is pushing Iraq to stop buying natural gas and electricity from its neighbor. President Hassan Rouhani wants it to purchase more to ease the pain imposed by American sanctions. So far, Rouhani’s winning. On a three-day state that ends Wednesday, he’s held a press conference alongside his Iraqi counterpart, addressed businessmen, visited important Muslim shrines and chatted with tribal leaders. In December, after a 16-year American military presence, Trump caused a diplomatic furor by arriving unannounced in the middle of the night at a U.S. base, speaking to troops and leaving without meeting top officials. Barham Saleh greets Hassan Rouhani at the Presidential palace in Baghdad on March 11. “The essential part of Rouhani’s message is addressed to the U.S. — Iran’s on the ground in a major way,” said Ihsan Al-Shammari, an Iraqi political analyst. Tehran “is bolstering its relations in a broad way to support its political position inside Iraq.” Visas, Trade The two countries signed transportation and trade agreements, including one for the construction of a railroad link between the Iranian city of Shalamcheh and Iraq’s oil-hub at Basra. From next month, the neighbors will drop visa charges for each other’s citizens, Iran’s state-run Press TV reported. And Rouhani said officials planned to boost bilateral trade to $20 billion from the current $12 billion. Obstacles to banking between the two nations have also been cleared, Secretary of the Iran-Iraq Chamber of Commerce Hamid Hosseini told state-run Tasnim news agency. Respective central bank governors signed an accord last month to make payments for oil and gas trade through non-U.S. dollar bank accounts, using euros and Iraqi dinars to skirt U.S. sanctions. This week, Iraq paid the first installment of $2 billion it owes for the import of Iranian gas and electricity, according to a report by Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, which didn’t specify the amount transferred. The payment had been delayed by the re-imposition of U.S. sanctions last year. Shiite Muslim Iran’s influence in Iraq has been deepening ever since the U.S. invasion of 2003 removed Sunni Muslim dictator, Saddam Hussein, and precipitated a shift in power to the country’s majority Shiites. Iranian militias played a significant role in pushing Islamic State jihadists out of Iraqi territory — a victory made possible by U.S. air power. And undeterred by an undercurrent of Iraqi nationalism, the three Shiite front-runners for the post of prime minister in last year’s elections trumpeted their good relations with the Islamic Republic. Vague Offers “We were standing by the Iraqi nation when times were hard and at a time of peace and security, we are at their side too,” Rouhani said in comments on Monday, according to Iranian state media. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Iraq in January amid Arab doubts over the U.S. commitment to their region following Trump’s announcement that he wanted to pull troops from Syria. While those talks focused on security issues, Pompeo also spoke about reducing Iraq’s reliance on imported energy that mostly comes from Iran. He didn’t get far, it seems. In a February interview in Moscow, Abdulkarim Hashim Mustafa, special adviser to Iraq’s prime minister, put the record straight. “These are American sanctions and we have the right to protect our national interests,” he said. “We tell them always: we are your friends but we are not part of your policies in the region.” Sunni Allies Trump has made isolating Iran’s economy and curbing its military potential the cornerstone of his Middle East policy, finding grateful allies in Israel and among Sunni Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia. Iranian oil production is languishing as foreign investors steer clear of the world’s fourth-largest holder of crude. Pledges by U.S. officials to tighten curbs on Iran’s oil sales and the expiration of waivers for several of the nation’s customers in early May are set to further restrict its exports. Dhafir Al-Ani, an Iraqi Sunni lawmaker, regretted that his nation was caught in the middle of the standoff. “The U.S. has the ability to punish countries helping Iran bypass sanctions,” he said. “I hope Iraq will not be the victim of the U.S.-Iran conflict.” Source: Boomberg.

  7. This $41M in food will replace Iraq buying some food from Iran and paying for the food in IQD, which we see as a problem. Not too sure today, but it used to be that providing food to a country garnered allegiance and a cornucopia of good will.

  9. Newspaper: Israel buys oil from Kurdistan at $ 15 a barrel Policy , 2019/03/16 14:50 , The number of readings: 189 BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Israeli newspaper revealed on Saturday that the Israeli entity purchased oil from the Kurdistan region at cheap prices up to 15 and 17 dollars a barrel, asserting that the sale of oil to the entity is still ongoing. The newspaper "New Arab" in a report that "the Israeli occupation authorities are buying Iraqi oil at very cheap prices of up to 15 and 17 dollars per barrel, (the price of oil ranges between 67 and 68 dollars in the international market), as this oil is" illegal " , Or what is known within the terms of the Mafiyat oil in Iraqi Kurdistan, "unknown descent", because it is not authorized by the company "Sumo" Iraqi, which oversees the export of Iraqi oil, the official arm of the Iraqi state. The newspaper added that "while activating the smuggling of oil from the parties and Mafiat divided between Erbil and Sulaymaniyah and the border town of Zakho with Turkey, a large part of this oil to the ports of occupied Palestine, specifically to the port of Ashdod." The newspaper quoted an Iraqi official as saying that "the deputies of the movement" change "Kurdish opposition in the region, handed officials and deputies in the federal parliament in Baghdad information on oil, which smuggled out of the territory through Turkey and the quantity and persons involved, as well as smuggling of tanks to Mafia and networks Turkish or Iranian, many of them close to the Democratic Party led by Massoud Barzani and the Kurdistan Union, specifically Talabani wing in Sulaymaniyah. " According to the newspaper, the oil is extracted from an oil field between Kirkuk and the town of Quesengq, and wells in the field, "Baba Karkar" oil, and fields southeast of Erbil, which invests UAE oil companies at the present time, most notably Dana Gas. The oil trip from the region ends up with about 300,000 barrels per day, according to the Iraqi official, to the Turkish ports of Mersin and Jihan. And from there it is shipped through oil tankers, some of which belong to foreign companies to the Mediterranean countries, and was divided into the Israeli occupation in the occupied Palestinian port of Ashdod, according to the newspaper. According to data published in 2017 for the company "Cliberdata" US, the tracking of international oil shipments, about half of the oil extracted from oil fields in the region in 2017, arrived in "Israel"

  11. Umbertino, Thank you for your decent and eloquent post. I have no problems with Shabbs speaking his mind. We have debated numerous times which I prefer to the childish cartoons. I guess it’s just quicker and easier to show your dislike of someone, especially President Trump, by showing a cartoon. While that may seem amusing to the Liberal mindset I believe it is a continued attack on the President of the USA. I never once wrote or put a cartoon of President Obama on these boards even though I disliked many of his policies. I feel the continued bashing of our President is pathetic and Demeaning to the Office. If an effigy of President Obama receives a hate crime then the constant parodies of President Trump should get the same treatment. I would much rather debate Russian Collusion, Border Security, Medicare for all, or even Tax Breaks. Instead we get name calling, childish cartoons, and articles that are written in half truths to meet an agenda. Just because it is published in the Guardian or the Washington Post doesn’t mean it’s truthful or honest. I also believe Shabbs is a big boy and can defend himself without your interjection. We were just messing with each other like we do on many occasions. I personally do not dislike Shabbs or any of you liberal mindset people. Like I said earlier I would much rather debate the issue than read the slanted liberal articles or view cartoons. ( which aren’t funny). I am well read and I read both sides of an issue from which I can form my own opinion. Now if you feel the need to defend someone you can jump in and defend my rights any time you want. I have on many occasions had people respond to my posts in rude, condescending, flippant, and in an angry hateful manner. While we can all agree to disagree I would prefer doing it with intellectual honesty or a small amount of respect. It is tough though when you get rubbish thrown in your face for your point of view, or read posts that demean our Country and show so little respect for an elected President!! Have a a nice weekend Umberino.

  15. Great post, CL. I just read an article about the woman who won the Megaball $1.5 Billion lottery in October. She wisely took the time to assemble the best professional team to help her navigate the right path for her. I could not more passionately urge people to seek counsel before running to exchange. Even with a million or less dinar, there are strategies to employ. Many professionals may be caught unaware when this hits, but hopefully they can get up to speed quickly. VIP members will get a list from Adam, and I would expect them to be well aware. We are all going to have to make ourselves take a deep breath and chill a bit, even if we think we have it all planned out. It is going to be so surreal.

  17. A deputy for the Sadr Alliance provides a strange justification for the continuing postponement of the sessions of parliament Policy , 2019/03/16 12:53 , The number of readings: 138 BAGHDAD, Iraq - Deputy MP for the Alliance of the Abbas Abbas Aliawi, Saturday, the disruption of the work of the House of Representatives for a long time to give Kurdish MPs the opportunity to participate in the holidays of Nowruz on 21 March, while he pointed out that the upcoming sessions will witness the completion of the ministerial cabin. Aliawi said that "the presidency of the House of Representatives disrupted the work of the Council because of granting the Kurdistan Alliance MPs the opportunity to participate in the upcoming Nuruz holidays." The Presidency of the Council of Representatives decided, on Thursday, to postpone the meetings of the Council to the day of March 23, less than a week after the resumption of meetings after the holiday of the first legislative term. In a related context, he explained that the "negotiations to form a government is still ongoing and the names will be submitted to the remaining ministers during the next meeting," noting that "talk about names are leaked to the media on the candidates of the security ministries is inaccurate because the names were submitted to the Prime Minister, which was authorized Exclusively to provide the best.

  21. You know, I agree with you BA, Trump does brag. I will also submit to you that the Lame Stream Media gives him ABSOLUTELY ZERO credit for ANYTHING he does right (and in 2 years he has done PLENTY right in my opinion). NO President in history has been treated with the vitriol, and hatred by the media. But what really makes their heads spin and explode and cause projectile green pea vomit to fly from their mouths, is Trump has the marbles to stand up to these lying, water carrying liberal FOOLS. They are not use to it, nor have they ever seen the push back they encounter with Trump. They don't know what to do. "Why how DARE he, does he not know who we are???" I would not mind this treatment if it was applied fairly across the board, but unless you are blind or have the IQ of a turnip, you know the big "O" NEVER received 1/100 of the negative treatment Trump has received. And because of the unfairness displayed by the media, I cannot and WILL NOT cut them ANY slack. Just my thoughts .

  22. Former Deputy: Parliament implements the National Assembly system and passed one law in 33 sessions 22:58 - 16/03/2019 0 Information / Baghdad Between the former MP Wael Abdul Latif, Saturday, that the parliament still applies the system of the National Assembly, stressing that the Council was able to pass one law in 33 meetings held since the beginning of its session. Abdul Latif said in a televised statement that "the budget law is challenged before the Federal Court, and the parliament passed only one law in 33 sessions." "The parliament is still following the rules of procedure of the National Assembly, and the visits of Halbusi rather than presiding over the meetings," he said. "There is no need to restore the laws discussed by the previous parliament of the government," he said. He said: I can not mention the real reason for the delay of the parliamentary sessions, even if I said why I went to the court. End 25 n https://www.almaalomah.com/2019/03/16/394048/

  23. No one likes Trump’s bragging and patting himself on the back but I understand why all Presidents do it, including President Obama. Many times the good policies a President has success with receive little attention or fanfare. In a political climate that appears to have need to fire up their base a little cheerleading should be expected. Let’s face the fact that this president has had to endure a media that is 90% hostile to his every move and slant every story in a negative light, especially the agenda driven Russian Collusion storyline. We are a divided country politically speaking and both sides are doing what they think they need to win, even if it is to the lowest levels of the human character. I have to remind myself ALL the time NOT to turn disagreement into anger and hate.

  25. Iraq is another channel for Iran to avoid US sanctions on Iran. It has become clear that the economic sanctions are beginning to do its job directly and affect the performance of the Iranian economy in many areas . Rouhani’s visit to Iraq declares a clear trade and investment agenda , and is therefore a clear attempt to circumvent US sanctions and limit the Iranian economy from further tightening and suffocation.

  33. Umbertino, There is a big Difference in Free Speech and Down Right Hate Speech for any one group, any one person, any one country....You can have your opinion of any and all of these but under the Guise of Free Speech. Just because one has their opinion of another person, place, group or thing you Don't need to rant on it every chance you get.....Forcing One's opinion on the rest of the group.....Just to prove their point in a feeble attempt to make themselves appear important....After a while no one really gives a crap what they have to say. This comes to mind

  34. @umbertinoThe right to bare arms and to protect yourself and loved ones is a wonderful thing. The ability to to take almost any everyday objects such as knives, vehicles, gasoline, house hold chemical, fertilizers, etc... and go out and create harm and death to people at any time is the problem. A person has to make a choice to create harm and death. When that choice is made, nothing will stop them . If they can't a get gun they can use a knife, make a bomb (Google the instructions), run into a crowd or building with a car. A gun is just more efficient and mobile without having to get really close to your target. People have always been and always will be the problem. JMO

  42. Thanks Shegdagal, pp, and others for your thoughts. I have been planning and talking to people for years about this investment and it’s kind of like trying to hit a moving target. We just don’t know when it will happen, how it will be taxed, will it be a good strategy to turn it all in at once ( we nay have to) or as needed. Just a whole lot of questions. If and when it goes I plan on turning in some to get some cash flowing and take a retreat and figure out all the ramifications.

  46. Is this from a legitimate news source? I haven’t heard of Kitabat.com. Also, why would the Iraqis keep raving about their dear friends, the Iranians? That’s all the government ever says – “brotherly neighbors” and stuff like that. If this article is correct, and the Iranians are holding down the value of the Iraqi Dinar, wouldn’t the Iraqi government have known about it and been angry about it, instead of being so in love with the Iranians?
