  1. Yendor - these guys are investors in the IQD just like us. We can usually clearly identify the pumpers who want to be heroes. Discussing your opinion of circumstances and events isn't pumping. They may be a bit more active than we are in researching info, trying to make contacts, and whatever it takes - to have a better idea as to what is actually going on. Then they, like us, find a website that follows the IQD and communicate with like minded investors. Some do claim special contacts, but take everything with a grain of salt. I was a newshound for years, but got tired of researching and posting - to no avail. Iraq is Iraq, and we are involved in a speculative investment. The cycle is the same - hopeful info reported, only to be deflated by Iraq's actions or inaction. We continue to wait and hope. Meanwhile we keep reading what is out there in the IQD Community...hoping to be informed. Blessings .... RON

  4. Know what you mean. Years ago we had no idea of what needed to be done before an RV was feasible and, therefore, believed all those we have now realized were pumpers. I do believe we are making progress, but we are not as naive as we once were.

  5. Good Morning Dinar Vets, here's a few opinions & comments that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They are simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Pimpy ...right now with the Iraqi dinar - it's going good. It's going smooth. Better than it ever has before. Before when we used to get excited about this news, now it's coming out so commonplace that we don't even think about it hardly no more as anything overly exciting because we're used to Al-Kazemi cracking the whip on people...there's something definitely happening in July. I don't know what it is. There's a major announcements getting ready to come from Trump... *** MilitiaMan Article: "Trebil port achieved more than 24 billion dinars in revenue last June" Quote: "What has been achieved from the increase in revenues as a result of the tightening of control and auditing procedures..." Here we go... They are getting the lead out... I like it. They have to at some point to literally go live with the market economy! This is an example they can! This is the confidence they need. Borrowing money to pay salaries in the way they imply is silly and not good business practice imo...

  13. Good Afternoon Dinar Vets, here's several opinions & comments that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They are simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Breitling ...we are very good with the Iraqi dinar. We are in a good spot. The goal has moved a little bit but it's to our advantage. Meaning that the can hasn't been kicked on down the road just the numbers are different. But the numbers are in our favor. And that's what you need to go by. Don't go by wishful thinking hype...the reality is the numbers...that is the reality that you and I are in and you guys can't be in a better spot. It's probably gonna be a little bit better coming down the road - still waiting for some more information...everything is positive...! *** Austin-Powers-For-PM So I want to clear up the confusion of "Rates" between being 'In country' and 'International. If I'm in Canada right now, and I have $1.00 CDN, it will buy me what $1.00 CDN can buy. However, if I take that $1.00 CDN and cross the border, I have to "Exchange" it for whatever the rate is to purchase U.S. Dollars (around 74 cents). Same goes with U.S. Dollar to purchase Canadian Dollar (around 1.34 Canadian for each U.S. Dollar). When the 3 Zero's are deleted, a 25k note still stays a 25k note, but now you can exchange it for 25k in lower denoms (or if you deposit it into a bank. it still is 25k). Once you leave the country and you want to exchange it into U.S. dollar, you can get whatever the exchange rate is. So if it's $4.00 you get $100,000 for your 25k note. So there is no 'in country' rate, simply an exchange rate between Dinar and other international currencies. *** Footforward [I think most would be happy for a 1:1 rate.] It won't be. It's supposed to be higher. Reallyl, I wonder how he knows what it's "Supposed" to be...! RON *** Pimpy ...I'm concerned about what's going on around the world a little bit...there's definitely something going on. I know the Iraqi dinar is part of it. I haven't figured it out yet but there's definitely something weird going on. There's a lot of stress testing going on, in banks around the world. Stress testing is whenever they try to do a slight shock to the stock exchange or something that would cause a semi panic of people running to the bank and they want to make sure that the bank's first of all are liquid enough so that if there was a mad rush to the bank that they would have enough money to give the people...we're definitely in a unique position right now. How all this ties together I'm not quite sure, but it definitely looks like there's something big going on, and the Iraqi dinar (believe it or not) is a big part of it..! GOD bless America...!

  15. MilitiaMan’s Comments On The Article Above ... "while he made clear that everyone wants to find solutions." So they are still hard at it. Don't forget the USA and UK have been asked to participate in the dialogue... The communication is on going and there is a question of will.. If the two parties have the will to be fair, then they can move along and set the mechanisms in place to resolve the outstanding issues of budgets, salaries, etc.. The mechanism is in effect the rate at which they get paid.. imo.. Keep in mind they said they are paying salaries in the Kurdistan Region and only thus far, they are to pay them apparently in-stages through the 15th. But, have they actually started like they suggest? They clearly suggest that the mechanisms are not yet reached.. But, if there is will, then there is hope.. The will may be to save their skin and their bank accounts!! They have been at this dialogue, this time for many days on end it seems. The pressure is on. Will they push this out for months on end? Typically, when the Kurds get their feel(ings) hurt they high tail it home.. They have not done so.. Another pattern change.. This time the leverage that the new PM has on them , whereby caught stealing or selling oil to Israel and keeping the proceeds unbeknown to the Fed Gov until now, has them backed into a corner.. The PM has them outed. The citizens of all of Iraq now know the story too. imo.. Kind of hard to argue about it when they get caught red handed. All the years that there has been graft and at the suffering of the citizens.. I'll bet the will of the Kurds to get this done and behind them now is better, now the ever.. imo.. We shall see.. - MM - MilitiaMan

  16. Good Afternoon Dinar Vets, here's a few opinions & comments that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They are simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Frank26 ...whenever the value goes up are you gonna call every Tom, **** and Harry and tell them you just made a lot of money? Or that you made capital gains with your investment? Or that you had a windfall? Are you gonna brag about this? Are you gonna put it on social media? Are you going to tell that relative that you never told in the first place? Are you gonna shove it into their faces, the ones that told you it's never gonna happen, to satisfy your ego and pride? I hope not. Don't draw attention to yourself. Do your very best to be humble about this. Do your very best to shut-up about this. The entourage, the group of people that know about your windfall, you want to try to limit that. Not only for your safety but for that matter for your sanity. Ever drop a sugar cube next to an anthill? Every ant is all of a sudden turning around and heading toward that sugar cube. Don't draw attention to yourself. Until then...we wait..! *** Kaperoni ...it is very concerning that the government and new prime minister are trying to pass a new Financial Reform Law that involves the dinar. The government has no business getting involved in CBI monetary policy. You really only see governments get involved in monetary policy if it involves changing the physical value of the currency such as a LOP. We recently saw that occur with Iran. We do not want to see this happen with Iraq. Traditional monetary policy is the sole responsibility of the CBI. Getting off the peg, moving to a float, or simply raising the value is the responsibility of the CBI and Parliament should have no involvement.***

  22. Al-Nusairi invites the Prime Minister to meet with private banks and address obstacles to their contribution to overcoming the economic crisis Economic and banking advisor to the Iraqi Private Banking Association, Samir al-Nassiri Banks The Economy News - Baghdad The Economic and Banking Adviser to the Association of Iraqi Private Banks, Samir al-Nassiri, called on Sunday, the Prime Minister to meet with Iraqi private banks similar to his meeting with Iraqi businessmen for the purpose of discussing the obstacles to their work and their contribution to overcoming the economic crisis because without a sound and sound banking sector, no sound national economy can be built. Al-Nusairi said in an interview with "Al-Iqtisad News", that "Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and the emergency cell for financial reform do not hide the complicated economic conditions and repercussions of the spread of Corona virus, political disputes and conflicts by the political parties and blocs that led to great harm to the national economy and stalled the economic cycle and economic stagnation Added to this are the accumulations and repercussions in the absence of a clear economic approach to previous governments, foggyness, and confusion of vision for real economic reform.And since the banking sector is the main link in the economic process, the current conditions have contributed to stopping the banking activity, especially the private banking activity since the outbreak of the demonstrations in October 2019, and so far, which has had clear effects on the lack of liquidity, low deposits, credit, loans and banking facilities due to the stop of working hours. During the comprehensive roaming ban for more than 30 days and reducing the permanence and banking activity during the partial curfew, which led to a significant decrease in revenues, despite the many measures taken by the Central Bank in providing several facilities package for banks, including enhancing its liquidity by reducing the percentage of the legal reserve, postponing loan installments, stopping and postponing the imposed fines On the banks. "According to the analysis of official data and statistics, the structure of the Iraqi banking sector consists of 7 government banks that hold 86% of all government and public deposits and 78% of all assets and private banks constitute 70 commercial and Islamic banks and invest 78% of the capital of the Iraqi banking sector and did not get Only on 13% of the total annual profits achieved at the total level and that the goals set for the banking sector in all government programs of previous governments are focused on achieving them is lending for development and considering banks as a lever for development and restoring confidence with the public and achieving financial inclusion in the sense of expansion and spread by providing banking products and services and practicing Real banking and digital transformation of the banking sector. The financial and banking advisor explained, "Through an analytical view of the reality of the Iraqi economy and the challenges facing the financial and monetary policies, in particular, stimulating and revitalizing the economy by bank financing and banking facilities, the above challenges stand in front of its implementation at the present time despite the great efforts made by the Central Bank since 2016 to implement its strategic goals for years ( 2016-2020) which achieved such goals task and key notably developments structural and structural and technical in banks and increase the proportion of comprehensive financial and investment in Ras capital human and walk pace actively towards stability In the monetary system and achieving stability in the exchange rate since 2018 and still remains, however, private banks are in urgent and urgent need of government support by studying their problems in the current circumstance in the emergency cell for financial reform formed in the cabinet for the purpose of saving some private banks from collapse. Al-Nassiri suggested the following: First-that the nature of the activities of banks depends on the nature of the activities of the sectors of economic , and as long as the activity of economic is concentrated in the trade (imports) remains the activity of banks concentrated on the conversion external and associated so ..lma unless moving sectors other (industry, agriculture, tourism and others) do not expect the diversity of activity The banker. It is worth noting that without controlling imports, these sectors will not rise, which explains the lack of progress on serious loans through the Central Bank initiative to finance small and medium projects. Secondly , the legal environment must be provided and the rule of law should be established in order to eliminate the phenomenon of defaulting in the repayment of loans, as bad debts amounted to (5 trillion dinars) up to 30 June 2020, and they constitute a large percentage of the total credit granted and thus banks are reluctant to provide loans and facilities. Banking. Therefore, we see that the decisions of the Council of Ministers and the Economic Affairs Committee of the Council of Ministers that were previously issued to support the banking sector, especially private banks, are not activated. It led to obstructing the activities and activities of private banks and greatly affected their liquidity, revenues, and deposits for that. For the purpose of overcoming the banks crisis, in a way that ensures banks ’transition from the role of banking to the developmental role and revitalizing banking work in the current circumstance, it requires the government, in particular the esteemed cabinet and the emergency cell, to activate the decisions previously issued by The Council of Ministers and the Economic Affairs Committee, which are as documented with the following numbers and dates. Third-activate all the decisions of the Committee Affairs Economic special support banks , special and in particular Mayati: - 1 ‐ The Ministry of Finance changed its decision not to accept it to open bank accounts for ministries and state departments in private banks and restrict them to government banks according to its letter 207 dated 31/1/2019 2 ‐ Activate the decision to allow ministries and government departments to open documentary credits in private banks up to $ 50 million without going through the Ministry of Finance and the Iraqi Trade Bank. 3-activating Resolution Council of Ministers No. 110 of 2009 and the decision of the Committee on Economic Affairs on 2012 141/2/20 concerning the conversion of government documentary banking up to 30 credits million dollars to private banks through the Trade Bank of Iraq. 4-activating the decision of the Committee on Affairs of Economic No. 253 of the year 2015.

Tehran calls the international community to hold America accountable Thursday 02 July 2020 123 Tehran / agencies Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the international community to hold Washington accountable for its unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and to compensate his country for the damage resulting from its "illegal" move. "The international community should have been for some time to make the United States bear the responsibility for the consequences of its wrongful actions and make it fully compensate Iran for the damage it has caused to its people," Zarif said during a briefing to the UN Security Council on the Iranian nuclear deal held on Tuesday evening.

  25. Good Afternoon Dinar Vets, here's a few opinions & comments that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They are simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Footforward [Q? : Do you feel we are within days] ..absolutely I do. If only he was right for a change - it would be great for everyone. Now, here comes the disclaimer....I don't know how many days yet. But yes. The word is in motion. The word of an increase in value has been in motion for well over 10 years...LOL..!! RON *** Pimpy ...Iraq is definitely draining the swamp...looks like there's a lot happening and it's happening quickly again. Article: "Pompeo mentioned him by name and accused of killing protesters...the dimensions of the step to relieve Fayyad from security positions in Iraq" ...it was believed that he gave the orders for the soldiers to shoot on unarmed protesters. Just for the record this guy here is an Iranian puppet big time... Quote: "the decision was on Saturday by the office of the prime minister Al-Kazemi. A step that was paved for several days and leaked by talks about Al-Kazemi's intentions to carry out a coordinated campaign aimed at reducing Tehran's influence in the situation and institutions of the Iraq state before his upcoming visit to the United States this month." So he is draining the swamp...I'm excited about it. All these are major steps and achieving what we want and that is for Iraq to get their sovereignty and they get the restrictions moved off of their currency... And the Beat Goes On...!

Al-Sudani reviews economic solutions to the financial crisis Sunday 05 July 2020 https://alsabaah.iq/27334 Baghdad / Al-Sabah Independent MP Mohamed Shaya Al-Sudani called on the government to take a number of urgent measures to enable it to fulfill its obligations to employees, retirees and social welfare, as well as address the ration card and crisis cell benefits in relation to confronting the Corona virus.

Import and production Al-Sudani pointed out that "there is another economic perspective, which is we have confirmed the inability of the agricultural and industrial private sector to advance in light of the entry of imports, with the absence of full control over the ports, the non-application of standards for standardization and quality control of incoming goods and leniency in the collection of taxes and fees on them." That "the prices of imported goods and products will crowd out the national product and all this requires reform steps to maximize revenue." Al-Sudani noted the need to "pay attention to the returns of derivatives and extracted crude oil, which will provide large amounts of money, and in light of the current financial conditions, these funds, which amount to 8 trillion dinars, must be invested by setting 10% of the cost of extraction and $ 8 for liquidation and up to 5% for distribution, can be provided from Without raising the price of fuel for the citizen.

Recent directions of the government regarding the rationalization of spending. " Al-Sudani warned of the need to adopt "effective and real steps on encouraging the agricultural and industrial sectors by placing the import curriculum at the table of government producers from companies of the Ministry of Industry as well as private and mixed sector companies and identifying the goods that can be produced so that the government can issue a decision to prevent their import, as well as review the agricultural calendar including It guarantees the preservation of local agricultural products, avoids the damage of farmers, closes the ports and controls them completely.

He believed that "internal borrowing will secure the salaries of employees. As for the external determined at five billion dollars, it should be invested to complete development projects, including projects for investing burned gas and developing the Basra gas project with the company (Shell), which contributes to providing what the power stations need instead of buying Iranian gas in amounts It exhausts the budget, which provides other imports for the budget, and there are projects related to petrochemicals and fertilizers that can generate huge funds on the state treasury, as well as its benefits to society by pushing the wheel of economic development.

Al-Nusairi invites the Prime Minister to meet with private banks and address obstacles to their contribution to overcoming the economic crisis Economic and banking advisor to the Iraqi Private Banking Association, Samir al-Nassiri http://economy-news.net/content.php?id=20933 The Economy News - Baghdad The Economic and Banking Adviser to the Association of Iraqi Private Banks, Samir al-Nassiri, called on Sunday, the Prime Minister to meet with Iraqi private banks similar to his meeting with Iraqi businessmen for the purpose of discussing the obstacles of their work and their contribution to overcoming the economic crisis because without a solid and sound banking sector it is not possible to build a sound national economy. Al-Nusairi said in an interview with "Al-Iqtisad News", that "Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and the emergency cell for financial reform do not hide the complicated economic conditions and repercussions of the spread of Corona virus, political disputes and conflicts by the political parties and blocs that led to great harm to the national economy and stalled the economic cycle and economic stagnation Added to this are the accumulations and repercussions in the absence of a clear economic approach to previous governments, foggyness, and confusion of vision for real economic reform.And since the banking sector is the main link in the economic process, the current conditions have contributed to stopping the banking activity, especially the private banking activity since the outbreak of the demonstrations in October 2019, and so far, which has had clear effects on the lack of liquidity, low deposits, credit, loans and banking facilities due to the stop of working hours. During the comprehensive roaming ban for more than 30 days and reducing the permanence and banking activity during the partial curfew, which led to a significant decrease in revenues, despite the many measures taken by the Central Bank in providing several facilities package to banks, including enhancing its liquidity by reducing the percentage of legal reserve, postponing loan installments, stopping and postponing imposed fines On the banks. "According to the analysis of official data and statistics, the structure of the Iraqi banking sector consists of 7 government banks that hold 86% of all government and public deposits and 78% of all assets and private banks constitute 70 commercial and Islamic banks and invest 78% of the capital of the Iraqi banking sector and did not happen Only on 13% of the total annual profits achieved at the total level and that the goals set for the banking sector in all government programs of previous governments are focused on achieving them is lending for development and considering banks as a lever for development and restoring confidence with the public and achieving financial inclusion in the sense of expansion and spread by providing banking products and services and practicing Real banking and digital transformation of the banking sector. The financial and banking advisor explained, "Through an analytical view of the reality of the Iraqi economy and the challenges facing the financial and monetary policies, in particular the stimulation and revitalization of the economy by bank financing and banking facilities, the above challenges stand in front of its implementation at the present time despite the great efforts made by the Central Bank since 2016 to implement its strategic objectives for years ( 2016-2020), which achieved such goals task and key notably developments structural and structural and technical in banks and increase the proportion of comprehensive financial and investment in Ras capital human and walk pace actively towards stability In the monetary system and achieving stability in the exchange rate since 2018 and still remains, however, private banks are in urgent and urgent need of government support by studying their problems in the current circumstance in the emergency cell for financial reform formed in the cabinet for the purpose of saving some private banks from collapse. Al-Nassiri suggested the following: First: The nature of banking activities depends on the nature of the activities of the economic sectors . and as long as the activity of economic is concentrated in the trade (imports) remains the activity of banks concentrated on the conversion external and associated so ..lma unless moving sectors other (industry, agriculture, tourism and others) do not expect the diversity of activity The banker. It is worth noting that without controlling imports, these sectors will not rise, which explains the lack of progress on serious loans through the Central Bank initiative to finance small and medium projects. Second , the legal environment must be provided and the rule of law should be extended in order to eliminate the phenomenon of defaulting in the repayment of loans, as bad debts amounted to (5 trillion dinars) up to 30 June 2020, and they constitute a large percentage of the total credit granted, and thus banks are reluctant to provide loans and facilities. Banking. Therefore, we see that the decisions of the Council of Ministers and the Economic Affairs Committee of the Council of Ministers that were previously issued to support the banking sector, especially private banks, are not activated. It led to obstructing the activities and activities of private banks and greatly affected their liquidity, revenues, and deposits for that, and for the purpose of overcoming the banks crisis, in a way that ensures banks moving from the role of banking to the developmental role and revitalizing banking work in the current circumstance requires the government, in particular the esteemed cabinet and the emergency cell, to activate the decisions previously issued The Council of Ministers and the Economic Affairs Committee, which are as documented with the following numbers and dates. Third-activate all the decisions of the Committee Affairs Economic special support banks , special and in particular Mayati: - 1 ‐ The establishment of a ministry Finance changed its decision not to accept it to open bank accounts for ministries and state departments in private banks and restrict them to government banks according to its letter 207 dated 31/1/2019 2 ‐ Activate the decision to allow ministries and government departments to open documentary credits in private banks up to $ 50 million without going through the Ministry of Finance and the Iraqi Trade Bank. 3-activating Resolution Council of Ministers No. 110 of 2009 and the decision of the Committee on Economic Affairs on 2012 141/2/20 concerning the conversion of government documentary banking up to 30 credits million dollars to private banks through the Trade Bank of Iraq. 4-activating the decision of the Committee on Affairs of Economic No. 253 of the year 2015.

  30. Comments By MilitiaMan On The Article Above ... Borrowing money from others to pay salaries is not a good solution. The Finance Committee knows this.. Al Nassery knows this, Salih knows this. Raising the value of the currency at this stage, is imo the main thing they need. They told us the best solution is to do just that, raise the value and get into the secondary markets where they can borrow from themselves based off the liquidity that comes from the value associated with a new international rate. They could possibly be brought into the IMFs SDR basket which the WB and IMF has suggested the time is now to allow additional currencies into the basket. Many meetings have been said to have taken place and with the leak out (noted above), suggesting there were more meetings on the matter. Can't have a leak if there wasn't a meeting. Keep in mind they say they have the money to pay salaries, yet they haven't. I recall that the delays in payments of salaries started when the Kurds were at the table and to date there are only scattered payments to the Kurds, if even true.. The patterns that have changed are off the charts, imo. They delayed the taxes and tariffs at the borders too. Why? It is a massive source of untapped income that will facilitate the main goal, and that is to go to a market economy!! Don't forget the energy lost in the liquid natural gas too. There are way to many areas that revenues can be derived from to cover salaries.. Just look at the amount of money stolen and is on the books to be clawed back. They could easily bridge the gap by doing what the road map and white papers suggest. So I am not buying the news just yet, that they borrowed in the way they suggest did, or they would have paid everyone by now. They were late on the 30th / 1st. It is now the 4th... Something is up.. imo.. ~ MM - MilitiaMan

  36. The list of “bigtime” companies have the financial wherewithal and staying power to wait out any governmental uncertainty. That’s why they are “bigtime” they have been around for years and can smell an opportunity long before the rest 😉 And, as Laid Back has stated, once moved to an open market economy, the flood gates will open, the rest of the world will join In on the band wagon to prosperity. It’s just a matter of time, clean the corruption as best as possible, get HCL passed, and perhaps we could be looking at the RV, and, Iraq can move on to be competitive in the global arena. All those resources, but at the end of the day, in the hands of corruption. I must also say that things seem to be moving much quicker with this new president, we patiently wait....

  37. Well I haven’t been buying shares and compounding reinvesting to buy a house mate! It’s calked property development and if all goes well I might very well have that penthouse overlooking Basra! It’s the future of investment getting in on the ground floor. It’s amazing how you have brief encounters with people during the dinar journey and they can change and introduce you to a whole level of investing. It’s why I have my own brokerage account and company so I can position myself for the new Iraq. For me it was always about building a property portfolio and property development and my brokerage account and share portfolio and relationship with my banks are a big part of it. Buffet and Sorros all became billionaires after they turned 50 so having hit that milestone I have positioned myself nicely.

  38. New World Bank country classifications by income level: 2020-2021 UMAR SERAJUDDIN NADA HAMADEH |JULY 01, 2020 Updated country income classifications are available here. The World Bank assigns the world’s economies to four income groups—low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income countries. The classifications are updated each year on July 1 and are based on GNI per capita in current USD (using the Atlas method exchange rates) of the previous year (i.e. 2019 in this case). The classifications change for two reasons: In each country, factors such as economic growth, inflation, exchange rates, and population growth influence GNI per capita. Revisions to national accounts methods and data can also influence GNI per capita. The updated data on GNI per capita data for 2019 can be accessed here. To keep the income classification thresholds fixed in real terms, they are adjusted annually for inflation. The Special Drawing Rights (SDR) deflator is used which is a weighted average of the GDP deflators of China, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Euro Area. This year, the thresholds have moved up in line with this inflation measure. The new thresholds (to be compared with GNI per capita in current USD, Atlas method) are as follows. Changes in classifications The table below lists the ten economies that are moving to a different category. It is important to emphasize that the World Bank’s income classifications use the GNI of the previous year (2019 in this case). Thus, the GNI numbers that are used for this year’s classification do not yet reflect the impact of COVID-19. National accounts revisions have played a significant role in the upward revision for Benin, Nauru and Tanzania. For Sudan, the GNI series for 2009-2018 has been revised as a result of revisions to the exchange rates. The 2018 GNI per capita figure has been revised down to $840 from the previously published figure of $1,560 (which is listed in the table). Algeria, Indonesia, Mauritius, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Romania were very close to the respective thresholds last year. More information More detailed information on how the World Bank classifies countries is available here. The country and lending groups page provides a complete list of economies classified by income, region, and lending status and links to previous years’ classifications. The lending groups (IDA, Blend, IBRD) have also been updated. The classification tables include all World Bank members, plus all other economies with populations of more than 30,000. The term country, used interchangeably with economy, does not imply political independence but refers to any territory for which authorities report separate social or economic statistics. Data for GNI, GNI per capita, GDP, GDP PPP, and Population for 2019 are now available on the World Bank's Open Data Catalog. Note that these are preliminary estimates and may be revised.
