Hang on now: whaddya mean injecting logic, reason & common sense into this. Step back mister, you'd better have a long talk with yourself and come to your "senses". There's a fine line between sanity & madness and your on that cliff edge. 20 years riding this rodeo leads to psychological whiplash & possibly brain damage. Initial signs are random blackouts and uncontrollable fits of hysterical laughter or flatulence. It's too late for me but you can save yourself!!!😆

The end result is 1:1 or greater how we get there I don’t care!

I suggest we wait for the WTO to announce the entry of Iraq into a full membership of WTO before we pop the cork. I recall many times in the past when different Iraqi individuals made statements which sounded wonderful but nothing came to fruition. Just my thought.

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... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 [Colorado Bank Story] I called my bank [Well Fargo] and had a conversation with someone over the phone and they treated me like I just came out of a cave - 'No. There's no way. No we don't handle [dinar].' All that negative talk that everybody's getting. Then today I asked to speak to the bank manager for other purposes but while I have you on the phone, lets [try again]. He [says] yes I'm very aware. Clare Article 1: "Al-Muslimawy: There is a policy to reduce the dollar exchange rate and control it in Iraqi markets" Article 2: "A government advisor to Al-Ghad Press: Dollar prices in the markets will gradually decline" Sandy Ingram In 2023 Vietnam recorded approximately $28.5 billion US in tourism revenue...Iraq has the ability to generate this same amount or more each year due to the historic landmarks and religious hot-spots in the country. All Iraq has to do is implement safety for tourists. Egypt generated $10.7 billion in tourism in 2022 and $13.1 billion in 2023...Iraq is the birthplace of the top three religions in the world today - Judaism, Christianity and the Muslim faith.

Walkingstick Question: "Why is the IQD the only currency increasing in value that we're seeing on Forex? It's taking off like a rocket." The investors. They're not stupid. They know. The investors smell the security and stability. But the real reason they have security and stability is because they have a new rate. The IQD is NOT on FOREX. It all started with the contrived website forexlive.com... Pimpy Question: "Why would [Iraq] let anyone benefit from this?" Why wouldn't they? It's the Iraqi people that really need to benefit from this...It's not their fault their leaders are all wack-a-doodles... There's enough resources in Iraq where they should be living pretty dang good over there. Increasing the exchange rate and giving them more purchasing power would definitely change their quality of life...Once Iraq can get their crap together and it looks like they're there - No more sanctions, get into the World Trade Organization, get back on the Swift system...Forex, finish the Port of Faw, finish with the Development Road Project, all those things are going to bring a lot of money into Iraq and their currency is only going to get stronger.

“This growth reflects an increase in public confidence in Iraqi private banks and the ability of private sector banks to acquire part of the monetary mass issued outside the banking system” “The increase in the volume of deposits in the private banking sector will contribute to strengthening the wheel of economic growth through the tendency of these banks to invest deposit funds in beneficial economic projects through which they can achieve profits to cover the interest paid on these deposits” - Increase public confidence in Iraqi private banks - Increase financial inclusion - Increase in volume of deposits and capital - Acquire part of the monetary mass outside the banking system ( Chunky Cash) More than 9.25 trillion of chunky cash back into the banking system They are reducing the monetary mass.

Hmm. Only one month. Hopefully because of a rate change. Doesn’t make sense to stop compensating Iraqis when they need it especially during Ramadan.

Well I think it's a safe bet that IF nothing happens with the dinar this month, we are SOL for '24.

I thought the same thing. Lets go Stronger Dinar.!

Next year...now does that mean next as in THIS year or next as in NEXT YEAR .. enquiring minds DEMAND an answer. Good luck getting that reply. As we say in the Cavalry - prepare to standby 😆

yes. the little 3 day holiday Eid Al Fitr they celebrate right after Ramadan would be a perfect RV gift for their citizens....and us....:)

Yep…justified thinking….the wto is all about controlling currency and manipulating exchange rates in trade….so what does this mean for Iraq…I don’t know, but I like 3.22, “keep your dinar” and the word “lofty” is all I care about!

I was wrong - forexlive.com is a real valid site, but the IQD is NOT shown on it as far as I can determine. When I type in IQD it say, "No matching results found"...!

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... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 IQD on Forex is on the private side. [Found by Forex Girl] 1. www.Forexlive.com 2. Click Live Charts. This is free but there is a private side. We can at least get a little example. 3. Click EURUSD in the top left of the chart. 4. Delete EURUSD in the top left box and type in USD/IQD. Wow! Oh, my goodness...The Iraqi dinar is going through a phase where it's being traded internationally on a private side of Forex. It is live. In December it was trading about $2.40 to $2.50. In January it was trading at about $2.60. Last month it was about $2.63 or so. Sunday it was $2.70...IMO this is a trend that is going towards the reinstate phase of the Monetary reform to reach the $3.22 that it was. Pimpy I'm sure you've heard the great news by now, the IQD is on the "private side" of the Forex...This sounds like some great news don't you think? ...I'm grateful to do all the research for you so you don't have to...There is no "private side" of Forex. None. The Forex is open to all participants who have access to the necessary trading platforms and infrastructure...There is no "private side" of the Forex... Deepwoodz [Response to Frank's post above] The listing USD/IQD = 2.81 would mean $1 = 2.81 dinar. Not the other way around. Even if this is true, definitely an improvement worthy of praise. If you want to see the value of the dinar, simply list it the other direction. i.e….IQD/USD. Which equals .355. 1 dinar =0.35$ [NOTE: To see the dinar at different possible rates use a Dinar calculator.] NOTE: www.Forexlive.com is NOT a FOREX site. It's a site contrived by someone to present false (Hopeful) information. RON

yep ⏰

If some people recall many years ago I was taken hostage by a patient and so badly beaten I ended up in hospital for a time. I also had to wear a body brace when I got out of hospital. My joints are now so painful because of that beating and long covid on top of it. We are all waiting just to get on with the lives we really want to live. Some to just retire and be debt free . Others will do good for their communities and others. I would like to set up a social housing project , help our homeless veterans and the homeless in general. None of that can happen until the dinar decides to return to fore at a strong rate. However, before I do any of that I will look after me and mi e cause although charitable deeds are good ... remember charity begins at home first.

Great news and hope so since Iraq will not be allowed to join until they have a true international tradeable currency!!

Iraq confirms completion of requirements to join World Trade Organisation https://thearabweekly.com/iraq-confirms-completion-requirements-join-world-trade-organisation WTO membership opens up markets by reducing trade barriers, enjoying lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, leading to increased export opportunities. Tuesday 05/03/2024 The World Trade Organisation (WTO) headquarters in Geneva. (AFP) ABU DHABI – Iraqi Minister of Trade Atheer al-Ghurairi said that Iraq had fulfilled the conditions necessary to become a member of the World Trade Organisation following the completion of economic reforms and the enhancement of its investment climate. Iraq submitted a request to join in 2004. The Iraqi minister was speaking during the WTO’s 13th Ministerial Conference held in the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi. Shwan Ibrahim Taha, an expert in Iraq’s finance and investments affairs, said: “Iraq business needs to make substantial reforms and changes to boost its private sector that still lags behind giving the opportunities and resources available in the country.” “To comply with WTO rules, Iraq has to align their trade policies with international standards. This process not only enhances the efficiency of domestic industries but also attracts foreign investments, as investors are more confident in transparent and consistent regulatory environments, something Iraq SME’s disparately needs,” Taha added. WTO membership promotes transparency and predictability in trade relations. The organisation provides a rules-based system that ensures fair competition. By adhering to established trade norms, countries can resolve disputes through the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism, ensuring a level playing field for all members. Furthermore, the WTO promotes development by addressing the concerns of developing nations. Special and differential treatment provisions recognise the developmental needs of these countries, allowing them more time and flexibility to comply with WTO agreements. This inclusivity aims to bridge the economic gap between developed and developing nations. Joining WTO offers a multitude of benefits for member countries, fostering economic growth, stability and global integration. WTO membership opens up markets by reducing trade barriers, enjoying lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, leading to increased export opportunities.

Just my advice, check your sources and follow the CBI news.!

I don’t remember them doing this previously.! Go Stronger Dinar.

Anyone remember them doing this previously? I dont

I have hobbies but ammos is expensive these days!!! 🤣 Even added another pew pew to my collection.

my concerns rest in the fact that china is a WTO full member and manipulate their currency keeping it low and undervalued to gain an advantage in trade and the IMF,World Bank and WTO rules have little strength or teeth to challenge them to have their currency in its actual exchange rate place ... just thinking out loud is all , so ready to stop thinking about iraq .

I like the new word..."imminent"

Here's an MZ update...just for entertainment value while we wait & wait... -We won't get out of November without this RV. -We won't get out of December without this RV. -We won't get out of January without this RV. -We won't get out of February without this RV. -We won't get out of March without this RV. MarkZ Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim. THREAD: Member: Happy Super Tuesday to everyone. Member: Still hearing good chatter from your folks, Mark? MZ: There is constant chatter. Their expectations & preparations are overwhelming. We are all just watching & waiting for the “Go” buzzer to sound. Its hard on your nerves if you ride the roller coaster. MZ: Bond folks are still expecting to soon receive 1% of their money. Member: Rumor is IQD trading at 2.76 on Forex this morning. Member: IF Iraq is officially in the WTO & IF the IQD is beginning the forex float… things are getting exciting. Member: Dinar is supposedly visible on the FOREX on the commodity side. Trading btw $2.80-$2.90. MZ: Last time I checked early this morning…it was about $2.80. You cannot exchange at that yet but it does show things are changing & something is cooking. Member: I would exchange at that in a heartbeat! Member: Mark, don't we still need a gold standard & European (MICA) stablecoin & cryptocurrency legislation before any RV? MZ: Stablecoin ect should come with the reset….We shouldn’t need the legislation before. MZ: “Iraq confirms it has completed the requirements to join the WTO.” They have completed the requirements which leads us to a Nader video today. Member: Mark, are you thinking by the Ides of March too??? MZ: We won't get out of March without this RV. Member: will the Indonesian Rupiah go at the same time as the rest? MZ: I still expect the Rupiah to go the same time as the Dinar & Dong…. MZ: And here is the Russian CBDC (scary words and depending on how it is used & if its backed by anything) But this particular CBDC that Russia has already rolled out is partially asset backed. The roll out is going well & is working with a crypto currency ledger so they cannon create more. MZ: “BRICS announces now blockchain based crypto payment system” This is based on the Russian system …they are moving forward quickly & believe it will help them De-Dollarize. There would be no cross border issues. MZ: “ US targets Zimbabwe leadership in sanctions revamp” they are only sanctioning a few of the leaders instead of the entire government. But is should result in an easing of sanctions that had been put on Zimbabwe & unfetter their economy. Should be good for us. Member: I am sick of the US butting into the business of other countries……the world is sick of it too! Member: After the RV goes. How long does we have to exchange? Member: Last we heard it was 10 days to make appointments & at least 30 days to exchange. Member: I have watched over the last last 2 years the slow change in the banks WF & CITI..

Member: I’ve notice banks in my area are putting up wealth management signs on their banks & we have a new Chase bank open in November 23. Member: Many reports that facebook is down today. Member: Phil just confirmed both FBI & Instagram are down, too. Member: Several platforms are down according to Downdetector! Looks like it may have been a cyber attack?

Member: Whatever day the RV happens will be my families new holiday I will celebrate every year…lol…. Member: Mark, Thank you for ALL you do for us! And mods too! Member: see you all later have a blessed day. MZ: He talks about the ascension to the world trade organization is IMMINENT! MZ: They a good recap from MilitiaMan & somewhere around the 6 minute mark he talks about an easy way to describe the “drop the 3 zero thing” & how over the weekend the Iraqi minister is stressing that the Dinar will soon be stronger than the USD….just like Sudani had promised. MZ: Be sure to go watch & share their videos.

Uh oh...

Here we go again; "soon," "imminent"

What are the real reasons behind the government's delay in sending the 2024 budget schedules? Posted 14 seconds ago What are the real reasons behind the government's delay in sending the 2024 budget tables? - Iraq News (iraqakhbar-com.translate.goog) News source /Noon Agency With the mounting criticism and calls to speed up sending the current year's budget to Parliament, ambiguity still surrounds the government's delay in sending the budget schedules, despite Finance Minister Taif Sami's pledge to complete the schedules and send them soon to the Council for approval. After demanding Parliamentary Finance, yesterday, Monday, to reveal the reasons for the delay behind the government's failure to send the budget schedules, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Planning Committee, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, revealed today, Tuesday, the real reasons behind the delay in the government sending amendments to the current year's budget schedules to the House of Representatives for the purpose of approval. Al-Baldawi said, "The delay in sending amendments to the 2024 budget schedules to Parliament is due to several reasons, including the ministries not completing their plans regarding the lagging projects, as the government is working to close this file, as well as the difference in prices and currency values," according to Al-Alam Al-Jadeed newspaper. He added, "Among those reasons relates to the schedules and amounts allocated to the Kurdistan region of Iraq, especially after the recent decisions issued by the Federal Court that obligated the government to do so," noting that "most of these reasons and obstacles have been overcome by the government and will be sent to Parliament very soon." Members of the House of Representatives criticized the government's delay in sending the revised 2024 budget tables for study and approval, despite the facilities it enjoys as part of a three-year "tripartite budget" that only needs some amendments in the numbers of the exchange and revenue sections, adding that violating the legal timings regarding the "budget" and even others has become a "custom" in the country. Jamal Kojar, a member of the parliamentary finance committee, confirmed on January 2 that the 2024 budget will witness changes in its operational and investment aspects, indicating that many changes will be made in it and it will be something different in terms of resources, oil price estimates and exchanges. The exchange rates of the dollar in the local market have fluctuated greatly during the past months, as they suddenly fell to 148 thousand dinars per 100 dollars, and quickly rose again to 160 thousand dinars, and then continued to fluctuate until today, reaching 151 thousand. dinars per 100 dollars, after its price nearly two weeks ago was about 153 thousand dinars. From time to time, the Iraqi market is witnessing a crisis that leads to a rise in prices, which began with the change in the exchange rate of the dollar, and then the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, and the rise of the dollar again during the current year to record levels. It is noteworthy that the draft budget law for the current year, worth 197 trillion and 828 billion dinars (about 152.2 billion dollars), with a total deficit of 63 trillion dinars (48.3 billion dollars), while in the budget for the next two years The numbers will change, according to events at the time. The dollar exchange rate in the budget amounted to 1,300 dinars per dollar, and the budget was based on an oil price of $70 per barrel and expectations of exporting 3.5 million barrels of oil per day, including 400,000 barrels per day from the Kurdistan region. The three-year budget version included many articles on external borrowing, including continuing to borrow according to previous agreements, as well as new borrowing from international institutions and various governments, and some borrowing amounted to more than $3,000 billion. It is noteworthy that this tripartite budget, as a result of the value of very high salaries, due to the new appointments, led to a significant reduction in the budget investment, and according to economists that this will force the state to borrow.

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... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Pimpy We all know this, the Iraqi dinar is not a scam itself. The Iraqi dinar is legitimate but there are people out there that use Iraqi dinar to pull off scams. Frank26 I told you a long time ago, the IMF said to the world, Iraq is in the process of adding value to their currency. You can look it up on the IMF website. How come they don't say that about any other currency in the world? Article: "The International Monetary Fund promises to support the digital transformation in Iraq" The digital transformation is what's going to allow the Iraqi dinar to float in the basket internationally. Mnt Goat Article: "OFFICIAL: THE ISSUE OF IRAQ’S ACCESSION TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION IS COMING SOON" Quotes: "the issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization was imminent,"; "Iraq is seeking to enter the World Trade Organization, and the issue is coming soon."

I'd start getting excited at .22 I
