10-16-2020 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...When they say "reducing the value of the Dinar", they mean the reduction of the three zeros from the exchange rate. They are not going to be devaluing the currency. By "reducing the zeros from the exchange rate" (raise the value) allows them to go into the or a market economy where the real competition is. It will activate the industrial and agricultural sectors when doing so. imo...This supports they are at that final stage to set that gem in place. ...It is the FINAL REPORT and they are now to have or have presented the necessary legislation to proceed with implementation procedures. This is very good indeed! I suspect they have every intention now with all the work done and sorted accordingly, we are in a very good place to see the golden ring. ~ imo.

Comments By MilitiaMan After This Article Followed By Additional Article Portions That He References ... The Prime Minister spoke about competition. The Finance Minister spoke about competition. Now the CBI Governor is speaking about competition. Competition is a key component of a market economy. Looks like the Central Bank of Iraq has had the ear fo the IMF. The reform paper terms are initiated now.. The terms or basis has to be applied when international. That is all about what is expected next as in what is to follow.. Yep, that is implementation of the basis.. Read rate or value.. Either works for me.. lol ~ MM - MilitiaMan ---- "Regarding what is being raised about the existence of an expected change in the exchange rate, the minister stressed that “changing the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar must be done in agreement with the Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Presenting numbers is currently a sensitive issue. Reducing the value of the dinar will have positives and negatives and will help us financially in the first period. But we must contain its repercussions, especially inflation. " He cautioned that "reducing the value of the dinar will create real competition and activate the industrial and agricultural sectors in Iraq." ---- The Prime Minister chaired the emergency competition and its meetings were moderated by the Minister of Finance, and included representatives of the economic ministries and major state institutions concerned with the issue, including the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq. The cell held more than 20 meetings between May 2020 and August 2020, and received detailed statements and reports from all concerned authorities in the country as well as from representatives of the private sector. The cell has finished preparing its report, known as the “White Paper,” referring to the approach followed in it, whereby the government submits its recommendations on the main issues with the aim of crystallizing a common basis that can be agreed upon and approved,followed by the presentation of the necessary legislation and implementation procedures accordingly. ---- Competition fosters economic welfare and makes markets work for development. The World Bank Group supports clients in promoting and implementing pro-competition rules in key sectors, deterring anticompetitive business practices, and minimizing distortive government interventions in markets. https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/competition-policy

Good Evening 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're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Pimpy *** ...there is a lot going on in Iraq and some of the announcement that I told you would be coming this week seems to be coming out now. Which is good...they're happening at neck break speed. It's crazy... *** Adam Montana ***...Parliament is in session, although with the exception of this mention of "White Papers" it would appear that nothing spectacular is happening. I'm not reading anything into the "White Papers"...They aren't going to announce "hi we plan to raise the rate next week lolz" - that's just not the way this works. They would lose the chance to capitalize on the RV, and they simply aren't going to do that. So, what IS encouraging?...(post 1 of 2)... *** Adam Montana *** Article: "There is no alternative for Kurdistan but an agreement with Baghdad" - and that is 100% truth. This boils all the way into the HCL (Hydro Carbon Law) which is a necessary component for the RV. One of the most common questions on the HCL is whether or not it needs/must be done before the RV. The answer is...it must happen really really close to the same time. Either immediately (minutes/hours, not days or weeks) before, during, or after. Minutes or hours...not days or weeks. That is key. The HCL is, in layman's terms, a profit sharing agreement between the Kurds and Baghdad - two major portions of Iraq. Without a profit sharing agreement, they won't raise the value. ...Go HCL - Go Dinar - GO RRRVVV!!! (post 2 of 2).. These were taken from another site that follows Adam's Opinions. You can see his full chat at: Adam Montana Weekly 14 October 2020 10-15-2020 *** Mark *** [Q? : What are the white papers?] They are the economic reforms/monetary reforms in Iraq. Part of them passed on Tuesday…other articles have passed throughout the week. I am told the article we need is to be voted on is this Saturday. I was told clearly from people on the ground over there that there is not a rate yet and are looking for that in the Saturday vote. *** Jeff *** ...the reforms made it to parliament yesterday. But they still have not told you when they're gonna start the approval. And now Article 140 again. All of these are post rate change. They cannot start the approval process until the rate has changed...everything is waiting on the rate change...getting better by the day... *** Frank26 ***...the atmosphere in Iraq is thick with the monetary reform success...With the white papers that contain the new exchange rate, the date when they want to announce it. That's why parliament is going to see it... That might be it for today ... Blessings ... RON

LINK Kurdish party: For this reason, Kurdistan does not use the MasterCard system for the distribution of salaries 17:58 - 10/15/2020 On Thursday, the leader of the Islamic Group, Soran Omar, accused the Kurdistan Regional Government of covering up thousands of space employees. Omar told / al-Malouma / that "thousands of space employees are used by the ruling parties in Kurdistan to consolidate their power and influence within the region." He added, "The government refuses to distribute the salaries of employees through the Master Card, as is the case in Baghdad and all countries of the world, for fear of revealing the satellite numbers, which do not exist in the first place." He explained, "Each ministry has thousands of aliens, especially in the security services of the Peshmerga, Asayish and the police, and these are with the knowledge of their parties, so the numbers of employees in the region reach a staggering number far above the absorptive need."

10/10/2020 12:00 Number of Readings 2149 Section: File and Analysis New classifications of Iraqi banks arouse the ire of specialists ... and calls not to favor parties affiliated with banks. Baghdad / Al-Masala: The decision to review the classifications, bank evaluations and the distribution of auction shares for dollars according to the new evaluation raises the controversy that the new classifications are local and not international, while most banks in Iraq are small, whether with their capital or their management of banking operations, while others considered that the re-evaluation For banks, a short period of time raises doubts. Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, a professor of political economy at the Iraqi University, says in an interview followed by Al-Masalla on Al-Sumaria TV that the bank had previously set standards for classification and evaluation of banks in 2016 for a period of three years on the basis of applying international banking standards by studying the status of banks and their data to come up with a classification for them despite This did not include all banks, as a group of them was excluded, but we were surprised today by the new governor of the Central Bank to take a decision to re-classify these banks within one week, which raises more than a question mark. Al-Mashhadani continues that the process of re-evaluation of these banks at the present time and according to what I received from information, is an inventory of dealing with a group of banks that have a lot of confusion. He adds that the classification mechanism used (I, B, C) is not clear and does not approach international classifications, and there is no disclosure in the local classification standards, adding that the central bank was supposed to follow the example of international central banks by setting international standards for evaluation and classification so that banks know their place on The level of the world, not to follow a classification of your own, which will not constitute anything on the map of international banks. For her part, the economic expert, Salam Sumaisem, demanded in an interview followed by the obelisk to know what criteria are used for re-evaluation and to know exactly why the revaluation is carried out. Sumaisem indicated that the purpose announced regarding the evaluation is to reset the issues because everyone is heading to the issue of the window for selling the currency, and therefore the revaluation comes to consider the feasibility of the auction and the shares granted to the banks, asking the bank to "ensure transparency, governance and standards that it will adopt to return Evaluation. In turn, the economist Dergham Muhammad Ali, in an interview followed by Al-Masalla, sees that Iraq does not need this number of private banks, especially as they do not contribute to development and do not practice banking in most of them. He stresses that the evaluation step and the classification of banks, if carried out properly without favoritism for the party-owned banks, is positive because the banks now live on auction only. In a press statement, Representative Alia Nassif considered it regrettable that the bank classification mechanism came upside down, as it placed limited activity banks in the highest classification, and multi-activity banks that contributed to development and investments in the lower classification. She added that this issue is not easy and is not limited to being a mere classification, but rather affects the economy directly in terms of granting confidence to ineffective banks at the expense of active and influential banks in the investment movement. In a move described as "quick", the new central bank governor, in the first week of taking office, held a meeting of the bank’s board of directors to take a decision to reconsider the banks ’valuations and distribute the auction shares for the dollar according to the new assessment. The Central Bank of Iraq began at the end of 2016 by adopting specific weighting criteria related to the participation of banks in the window of sale of foreign currency (dollars), by evaluating and classifying them into three categories, namely A, B and C.

Marist. Fascist. Where are the true patriots? It seems there are very few. And don't tell me Trump is a patriot. He is a failed businessman who should have never been given the reins to our fiscal policies... If you think he is such a great financial mind, give him your retirement fund to invest... I'm sure he'd be glad to spend it for you...

Thanks for this great thread on Kim......I'll add this short one......kind of close to my heart!

LINK Representative economics: The white paper includes the conditions of the World Bank that affect the life of the citizen 16th October 2020 A member of the Parliamentary Economic Committee, Mazen Al-Faili, confirmed, on Friday, that the white paper for reforms includes the conditions of the World Bank, while he indicated that borrowing is a bitter option, but it is necessary. Al-Faili said, "The reform white paper prepared by the Council of Ministers reached the House of Representatives for the purpose of detailed discussion," explaining that it "contains the conditions of the World Bank, and these conditions are excessively strict, and affect the life of the citizen who must not bear the mistakes of previous governments." He added that "the reform materials in the white paper are implemented over a period of three years to reform the financial and economic situation in the country, as Iraq is currently suffering from a lack of financial returns with a delay in the process of disbursing employees' salaries," noting that "the paper includes reform points that are implemented in the long run, and reform materials." Others should be applied in the licensing rounds, and the oil agreement with OPEC, given that the global economic situation has differed from the previous one." He pointed out, "Borrowing is a bitter option, but it is imperative, and we must reconsider taxes, levies, and expenditures, and search for new doors to increase revenues so that the citizen and employee are not affected."

Comments Following From MilitiaMan ... LINK Deputy explains the reasons for the high price of the dollar against the dinar 16th October, 2020 On Friday, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Naji Al-Saeedi, revealed the reasons behind the high exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar in the local market. Al-Saeedi said in an interview with Alsumaria News, "Any country that is exposed to a financial policy crisis, its monetary policy will be affected in turn," indicating that "Iraq Today, it operates according to a fixed exchange rate system, and it is very exaggerated and supports the external product, not the local." Al-Saeedi added, "The shift from the fixed exchange rate to the creeping exchange rate, especially in periods of financial instability, will have a very negative impact on the expectations side, as if the price is raised to a point or two, it may affect four or five points in the market and this is for him." Negative effects on low-income people and the simple citizen," stressing that "the use of inflationary financing or the new monetary issuance as the government borrowed treasury bonds from the central bank, the latter did not use the existing hard currency reserves, but rather used the new cash issue." He pointed out that "this measure of the central bank raised the monetary mass in Iraq from 56 trillion dinars to approximately 80 or less trillion dinars and this increase leads to monetary inflation and continuing with it leads to an increase in the exchange rate of the dollar towards the Iraqi dinar and this is a very natural thing in monetary policy, as the new monetary issue leads to the exchange rate of the dollar, given that The government did not use real resources to finance the deficit, but rather inflationary resources. ”Al-Saeidy stressed, “This procedure is similar to what the previous regime used to do, and it is contrary to Central Bank Law No. 56 of 2004 in its Articles 32 and 28.” So it appears they have issued bonds with a new cash issue. That would seem to be at a new rate too. As they were not very successful in selling bonds (if I recall) in the past while at a program rate. Again this is an example of using more of a negative slant with verbiage while telling us the positive. If they sold Bonds with a new cash issue and not at a program rate, then they'll be exposing that new cash issue in short order... imo.. ~ MM - MilitiaMan

LINK Britain urges Erbil and Baghdad to speed up the implementation of the Sinjar agreement and drive out the militants 16th October,2020 On Friday, the British ambassador to Iraq, Stephen Hickey, urged the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government to speed up the implementation of the agreement concluded between them in order to normalize the situation in Sinjar district. Hickey said in a statement to reporters during his visit to the judiciary today, "Britain welcomes the Sinjar agreement and hopes that the regional government and the Iraqi government will work together with the United Nations to restore security and stability to the judiciary, and we support and encourage them to do so."He added, "We want the Yazidis in Sinjar to feel reassured, and to speed up the implementation of the provisions that came in the agreement, including the withdrawal of the armed groups currently in the district." On Friday (October 9), Baghdad and Erbil reached an agreement to normalize the situation in Sinjar, which provides for the administration of the judiciary in terms of administrative, security and service jointly. ISIS invaded Sinjar district in 2014 and committed a massacre against its residents, before the Peshmerga forces recaptured it the following year. However, the Iraqi army backed by the Popular Mobilization Forces invaded the region due to the tension between the region and the federal government against the backdrop of the independence referendum in 2017 . The Iraqi authorities installed new officials in the district in place of the elected officials who withdrew from the area to Dohuk Governorate when the Iraqi forces advanced. There are currently two local governments for Sinjar, one of which was appointed by the federal government authorities, and the second is the elected government, which conducts its business from Dohuk Governorate. The anti-Ankara PKK also formed a faction loyal to it there, called the "Sinjar Protection Units" and receives salaries from the Iraqi government as a faction under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Forces . The Kurdish workers reject repeated calls from the Kurdistan Region to leave the region that is under Turkish attacks from time to time, which impedes the return of tens of thousands of displaced Yazidis to their homes. And the new agreement will address the issue of duplication of administration, and Al-Kazemi stressed Baghdad's keenness on Sinjar being free of armed groups, whether internal or from outside the country, in reference to the PKK.

Member of Parliamentary Finance: The White Paper does not require a vote by Parliament 2020-10-15 | 05:37 4,755 Views On Thursday, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, described the "white paper" announced by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi as a "road map and strategic vision" to solve the economic crisis in Iraq, while noting that it "does not need" a vote by the House of Representatives. And he said Cougar In an interview with Alsumaria News, "The white paper is a road map and a strategic vision to solve the economic crisis, not the immediate emergency financial crisis, as what was included in the paper is a reformist vision of the economic situation of the Iraqi state in a comprehensive manner," indicating that "this takes a long time. It could be up to three years, as the government has made itself clear. " He added Cougar, "The Parliamentary Finance Committee agreed to borrow and demanded a reform paper. It was clear in its demand that a paper be prepared to solve the current crisis instead of borrowing again, not as the white paper sent from the government that came to correct the economic path of the state went to him." He continued, saying that "the white paper is not a law to be read and voted on inside the parliament, rather it is a government vision to correct the economic process and does not need comprehensive votes, but if it includes specific details, it needs legal legislation, and then comes the role of the Parliament," pointing to That "if the government wants to reduce salaries, for example, then it will need a parliamentary vote in order to amend laws in force." Confirmed Cougar "The Finance Committee will study the white paper and include its vision with it, in addition to seeing the political blocs and returning it to the government, and then reform remains the responsibility of the executive body, as for the parliamentary role, it is limited to monitoring, legislation, assisting the government and providing solutions to it, and it is the decision-maker with approval or rejection."

Maverick Modeller Helmut Norpoth Predicts Another Win for Trump August 3, 2020 7 min read Political scientist Helmut Norpoth fields media calls every week seeking comment on the upcoming presidential election. Why the interest? In 2016, he was one of a handful of experts who correctly predicted the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election. Helmut Norpoth Norpoth, a professor in Stony Brook’s Department of Political Science, has enjoyed notable success forecasting elections based on his Primary Model, a statistical representation of U.S. presidential races based on data going back more than a century. In 2020, his model once again projects a Trump victory, giving the incumbent President a 90-percent chance of being re-elected in a landslide — a controversial call that runs contrary to current polls. The Primary Model has correctly predicted five of the past six presidential elections, and when applied to previous elections, correctly predicts an impressive 25 of the last 27, missing only the 2000 election in which George W. Bush defeated Al Gore and the 1960 election in which John F. Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon — two extremely close and contested votes marred by allegations of voting inaccuracies. Norpoth began working on his model after the 1992 presidential election, putting it to the test for the first time in 1996. “My first forecast was the 1996 election, the one where Bill Clinton was re-elected for a second term,” he said. “Predicting a Clinton win was considered a stretch at the time because he was pretty bad in his first term.” Norpoth, who has been at Stony Brook since 1979, correctly predicted Clinton’s win using a very simple early version of his model. He would expand the model in the years to come, an ongoing evolution that continues to this day. But one key metric that was apparent to Norpoth even in the early stages — the importance of early presidential primaries — remains a critical part of the Primary Model. After the 2008 election, in which Barack Obama won the nomination and then the election despite failing to win the New Hampshire primary, Norpoth expanded the range of primaries to include the South Carolina primary as well. “But that’s it,” said Norpoth. “I focus on early primaries and the way the candidates perform in those early contests. It’s a very good predictor, and a leading indicator of what’s going to happen in November.” He described the focus on primaries as the key difference between his model and others. “It’s all about primary elections, which are real electoral contests and the votes are counted and tabulated,” he said. “I also use real numbers, such as the results of previous elections, which indicate whether the pendulum is swinging away from or toward the White House party. This is something that also relies on real election results and not any kind of an opinion poll.” Unlike many other projections, Norpoth’s equation ignores approval ratings. “That’s a poll number,” he said, “and I don’t use those. I think the primary performance of a sitting president is usually a proxy for that. But I don’t use any polling data or data related to opinions.” Norpoth’s model predicts a Trump landslide in the Electoral College. In light of this information, Norpoth said he wasn’t surprised that his model gave Trump a very strong chance at a second term. “When I looked at New Hampshire and I saw that Donald Trump got 85 percent of the votes, and the closest challenger was Bill Weld at 10 percent, I was pretty sure what the model was going to predict,” he said. “If Trump had gotten only 55 percent and an opponent had gotten 40 percent, I may not have predicted that Donald Trump would have a chance to win. Maybe. It would depend on the other side as well.” As for the Democrats, Norpoth said that the sheer number of candidates and the inability of any one of them to get off to a fast start may have doomed the party from the start. “People have forgotten how Joe Biden did in New Hampshire,” said Norpoth. “He was terrible. He got 8.4 percent of the vote, which is unbelievable for a candidate with any aspirations of being president.” So was there anything any of the Democrats could have done this year to get in a better position, or was it Donald Trump’s election to win or lose? “What the Democrats should have done if they were really serious about beating Trump would have been to rally around one candidate right from the start and not have a protracted battle in which people get wounded,” Norpoth said. “They needed to pick one person and have everybody else take a pass. That’s the only way I could see that my model would have worked in their favor.” Norpoth, who has studied election primaries going back to 1912, is confident of the math behind his model. While some might suspect that unusual circumstances — e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic and the civil unrest in the wake of the George Floyd killing — might have an unpredictable effect on the election results, Norpoth said those crises have no bearing on his projection. “My prediction is what I call ‘unconditional final,’” he said. “It does not change. It’s a mathematical model based on things that have happened. The presidential election of 2016 has happened, the primary results are in. I can add in the results of more primaries, but even those numbers have happened and can’t change either.” Norpoth also scoffed when asked to comment on the argument that the Trump presidency has been widely described as being “unlike any previous presidency.” Former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden congratulate U.S. President Donald Trump on the day of his inauguration.

Is that not unique? If Hillarious Clinton had won in 2016, she would have been the first woman president. Is that not unique? I grant that Trump is in many ways a very special kind of character, but I think we also tend to exaggerate that.” One model change Norpoth has made for the upcoming election has been to focus on the Electoral College. “Now I predict straight to the Electoral College,” he said. “I’ve never done that before, but I made an adjustment because of the mismatch we had in 2016, and I’m prepared to see Trump lose the popular vote again. So this prediction is entirely about the electoral votes.” Norpoth said that while he manages not to get emotionally connected to these projections, the reactions to his projections sometimes do take an emotional toll. “I get a lot of reactions, and I get a lot of mail,” he said. “Some of the comments are unprintable. I do get backlash, and I get it from people whose opinions I value, people who are friends. And I can tell that some people find it difficult. So there is an emotional part that goes on.” But at the core, said Norpoth, it’s just math. “Everybody thinks Trump is going to go down in flames, and here I am predicting with almost total certainty that he’s going to win,” he concluded. “It seems crazy. But it’s not.” Twenty-five of the last 27 U.S presidential elections can vouch for that. — Robert Emproto

Central Bank: a decline in the accumulated quantities of foreign currency Wednesday 14th October 2020 - 08:14 Baghdad - conscious The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Ghaleb Makhaif, suggested that foreign reserves in the bank would decline due to the increase in import financing and the decline in dollar revenues from the Ministry of Finance. "The decline in the global price of oil and the reduction in production in Iraq, based on the OPEC agreement, led to a decrease in crude oil revenues and thus the dollar amounts that were the Ministry of Finance," he told Al-Sabah. It sells it to the Central Bank of Iraq in exchange for the Iraqi dinar, which it uses to finance its expenditures locally. " The governor added, "This led to a decline in the accumulated quantities of foreign currency at the central bank, in addition to the process of discounting the securities issued by the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of bridging the deficit witnessed by the government in financing its spending, especially the current spending by the Central Bank of Iraq for the benefit of government banks." He noted, “Most of the current spending will turn into a consumer demand that ultimately represents a demand for the US dollar, and with the central bank meeting this demand to finance imports, foreign reserves are expected to witness a decline in addition to the decline resulting from the decrease in oil revenues if the current data do not change.
