  1. 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 Question: "What do you think Iraq's time to allow international to exchange our notes? That's their prerogative. Normally when something like this happens the IMF works with that central bank of that country and they figure out a time frame. It can be three months or six months. It can be a year. The Untied Sates of America never cancelled our 3 zero notes. America never stopped allowing 3 zero notes to be exchanged but I got a feeling Iraq will, and they should. Militia Man Article: "Al-Nusairi: Explains the new mechanism for external transfers after the platform is closed" We have been following this and we have been spot on...They finally have done what was expected. This is to get the Central Bank back to normalcy with international standards. That it a fact. A very good thing to have had correct all along [in our] study of the Iraqi Dinar... Pimpy We know that al-Sudani is going to be talking to Trump real quick here. Last time [Trump was in office] they didn't make any changes and what ended up happening was they had to devalue the dinar before the country went bankrupt. So this time around they might jump ahead of this and devalue the dinar ahead of time so that the impact is not that hard against the Iraqi people and against Iraq if crude oil prices go down. Sandy Ingram Two of Iraq's most ambitious infrastructure projects, the central bank tower in Baghdad and the Grand al-Faw Port in Basra have been recognized as some of the most significant mega projects in the world for 2025. The projects ranked 11th and 10th by the renowned British platform the B1M. These achievements reflect not only Iraq's commitment to modernization but also it's ambition to reclaim its place on the global stage as a hub for economic and cultural progress. Samson Article: "British platform includes the Central Bank Tower and Al-Faw Port in the list of giant projects in the world for the year 2025" Jeff Iraq's '25 budget still in the works with the government expected to send the budget tables to the council representatives in early February. The rate needs to change before that guys. That's why I've been telling you you're in red-hot January. January is a critical month to our investment. And now, for one of MarkZ's outrageous rumors: MarkZ [Rumor] I have talked to a couple Iraqi sources and they still believe this is it. They have contractors that they are in contact with that are suddenly being called in. I have one who will not tell me what the re-negotiated rate is on their contracts. One of them mentioned $3.91, but I do not know for certain if that is really it. Its from a contact I don’t know really well.

  6. With the end of the legislative holiday... Parliamentary movement to resolve the “controversial laws” in the coming days Posted on2025-01-10 by sotaliraq Once again, the scenario of controversial laws returns to the forefront, with the end of the parliament’s legislative recess, despite the heated disputes over some of its provisions and warnings against adopting the one-basket approach in resolving them. The halls of Parliament are witnessing a new movement to return controversial laws to the Parliament’s table for discussion and passing, which raises fears of a new crisis erupting within Parliament regarding them. The House of Representatives entered a legislative recess after extending it for 30 days based on Article 58 of the Iraqi Constitution. Consequently, that period ended and it became obligatory to enter a recess from December 9th to January 9th. Member of Parliament Jassim Al-Moussawi says, “Through reading and managing sessions on controversial laws, there is public pressure trying to resolve controversial laws.” He added, "The majority want to move forward to resolve the controversial laws, especially the Personal Status Law, the Amnesty Law, and the Kurdistan Lands Law," indicating that "there are broad popular demands." Al-Moussawi pointed out that “there are efforts to resolve the problems and disputes regarding these laws,” stressing that they “need some time.” For his part, Mukhtar al-Moussawi, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee in the House of Representatives, said, “The controversial laws will witness new movement, as the orientations of the major blocs dominating the parliamentary scene will become clear.” He explained that “the legislative process in Iraq suffers from the dominance of the principle of political consensus between the blocs, which leads to the passing of laws based on political deals and trade-offs instead of relying on objective discussions that serve the public interest.” He pointed out that “this style of legislative work makes controversial laws stuck within what is called the ‘one basket’, where the passage of one law is linked to the approval of another law, which hinders the approval of the necessary legislation that citizens are waiting for.” The Shiite representatives in parliament insist on passing the Personal Status Law, which is considered a radical amendment to Law No. 188, which was enacted in 1959 during the era of Abdul Karim Qasim, while the Sunnis demand passing a general amnesty law, while the Kurds seek to pass a law to return properties to their owners that were taken from them during the era of the former regime. Since there are fundamental differences regarding each of these laws, they have been called “controversial laws,” such that passing any one of them requires passing the other laws. The delay in approving many important laws is likely to weaken the legislative and oversight role of the House of Representatives, according to political observers, who criticize the parliament’s resort to the principle of political consensus, which has led to the postponement of important laws that the Iraqi street is anticipating. It is noteworthy that the issue of passing controversial and controversial laws through the so-called “one-basket” system is not new to the Iraqi parliament. It is a procedure that is resorted to in the event that disagreements over a particular law reach a dead end, in a way that enhances the interests of the political blocs and their sectarian, factional and regional polarizations. The amendment to the Personal Status Law faces major objections, as legal experts and civil activists warned, in a previous report by “Al-Alam Al-Jadeed,” of the amendments that the parliament intends to make to the law. While they confirmed that they could undermine one of the most important Iraqi legislations, they pointed out that the amendments place the authority of sects and religious men in a higher position than the authority of the judiciary and the law. The amendment to the general amnesty law also faces objections and concerns that it will include those convicted of terrorism and belonging to ISIS. This amendment is one of the main demands of most Sunni forces, and was among the most prominent conditions they set in the negotiations to form the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani before voting on it in parliament in October 2022. As for returning the properties to their owners, the five Kurdish blocs in the House of Representatives announced last September that they would unify their position to support a draft law aimed at cancelling the Baath Party’s decisions regarding agricultural lands in the areas covered by Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution. https://www.sotaliraq.com/2025/01/10/%d9%85%d8%b9-%d8%a7%d9%86%d8%aa%d9%87%d8%a7%d8%a1-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%b7%d9%84%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d8%b4%d8%b1%d9%8a%d8%b9%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%ad%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%83-%d8%a8%d8%b1%d9%84%d9%85%d8%a7/#google_vignette

  7. Thanks, drive by Rubies are particularly laughable when there's no dissenting voice. IMHO that's quite cowardly. I won't bite someone's head off simply because they disagree. I invite other's viewpoint. Quite a few folks these days wear their emotions on their sleeves don't they. All the Best & thanks again

  9. 2025 budget is on the verge of legislation, and delaying the schedules will not stop the decision Time: 2025/01/11 13:05:46 Read: 1,118 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Jamal Kojer, a member of the Finance Committee in Parliament, confirmed today, Saturday, that the 2025 budget schedules have not reached Parliament yet, but he stressed that the budget will be legislated during the current legislative session. Kocher explained in a statement to {Euphrates News} that "the delay in the arrival of the tables will not affect the course of the budget legislation, indicating that the next legislative session will be quieter due to the preoccupation of the representatives with the elections, which will reduce their attendance at the sessions." It is noteworthy that the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said in a press statement that Article 77/Second of the Federal General Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, which regulates the preparation of the three-year budget, stipulates that the government sends the budget tables for the years 2024 and 2025 to the House of Representatives for approval before the end of the previous fiscal year. He added that the Ministry of Finance has announced that it is in the process of preparing the general budget schedules for the year 2025, in accordance with the constitutional mechanisms adopted by the aforementioned Triennial Budget Law. Saleh noted that the federal general budget tables for the year 2025 will be based on the constants of Federal Budget Law No. 13 of 2024, taking into account international and regional economic conditions and their changes, in a way that ensures that the provisions of the budget tables for the year 2025 are adapted within the available legal texts, in addition to relying on the performance of the indicators of the general budget tables for the year 2024. https://alforatnews.iq/news/%D9%85%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A9-2025-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%A3%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B9-%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%A3%D8%AE%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%84-%D9%84%D9%86-%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%82%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1

  10. If you REALLY stand in solidarity with America and want to help, send money to the actual families (not celebrities) who lost everything not in just California but in Hawaii, Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Puerto Rico. (Sorry folks a little bitter over our dumba** president vowing to help California but overlooking the others). Or better yet change the rate of your national currency to help your citizens and pay back America when they helped you. And tell the greedy insurance companies not to raise rates AGAIN in California to cover the money they are going to have to shell out according to the service that said they will provide, just to recoup their monetary costs. I’ll just bet a few of us here would find ways to help those that really need it IF we had the means to do so. Talk is cheap and so is the value of the dinar. Blessings Love Light and Prayers y’all.

  15. Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... From The SANDBOX Report. Fears, laws will not be passed in 2025 due to polarizations. Parliament may be paralyzed to accomplish nothing. - Iraq Stands In Solidarity With America Over CA Fires. -PM: Restructuring Government Banks To Ensure Availability Of Capabilities & Openness With Int'l Specs. -Oil Prices Rise Amid Expectations Of New Sanctions On Russia, Falling Inventories. -Oil Continues Gains, Brent Crude Hits $77. -Iraq Declares 2025 The Year Of Industry. Will Its Decisions Succeed? -With The End Of The Legislative Holiday: Parliamentary Movement To Resolve “Controversial Laws” Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. FROM IRAQI SOURCES: Iraq Stands In Solidarity With America Over CA Fires. ARTICLE: Reading: 858 times. Iraq stands in solidarity with America over CA fires. -PM: Restructuring Government Banks To Ensure Availability Of Capabilities & Openness With Int'l Specifications. PM Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani confirmed, on Thursday, that government banks with their current structures are unable to open up and address problems, indicating that this is why they have been restructured in a way that ensures the availability of all capabilities & openness with modern international technical specifications. The PM's Media Office said in a statement, seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani chaired a special meeting to discuss the development of the work of government banks, in the presence of representatives of Ernst & Young for auditing & financial consulting." The statement added, "The Prime Minister was briefed on the plan for the restructuring project of Rafidain and Rashid Banks & the technical & administrative procedures related to the project, which includes a comprehensive review & structural administrative reforms with the aim of providing integrated banking services to citizens & companies." The PM explained - according to the statement - that "the completion rate of the project to restructure Rafidain Bank has reached the final stages," stressing "its entry into force in the coming period, within the framework of a plan that has been studied and implemented according to the established standards & specifications." Al-Sudani added that "government banks with their current structures are unable to open up and address problems & for this reason they have been restructured in a way that ensures the availability of all capabilities and openness with modern international technical specifications. -Oil Prices Rise Amid Expectations Of New Sanctions On Russia, Falling Inventories. Oil prices jumped on Friday, posting gains for a third straight week, as concerns mounted about supply disruptions from potential sanctions on Russia. Brent crude futures rose $3.50, or 4.6%, to $80.42 a barrel, breaking above $80 for the first time since October. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $3.57, or 4.8%, to $77.49 a barrel. Tensions Mount Over Russia S-anctions: The US is planning to impose its toughest sanctions on Russia’s oil sector, targeting 180 oil tankers, dozens of traders, two major companies & senior industry executives, according to a document seen by Reuters. Expectations of the sanctions have grown ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, while the Biden administration is expected to announce additional sanctions on Russia before it leaves office. Other Factors Supporting Higher Prices: Cold weather in the US & Europe has helped boost demand for heating oil, with the US National Weather Service forecasting cooler temperatures in the central & eastern parts of the country. Europe is also facing a severe cold snap that is increasing energy consumption. Analysts at JPMorgan expect global oil demand to grow by 1.6 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2025, driven by increased consumption of heating oil, kerosene & liquefied petroleum gas. Investors Are Concerned About Inflation: Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said that concerns about rising inflation due to Trump’s planned tariffs are boosting crude prices. Despite a sixth straight week of gains in the dollar, which makes oil more expensive for buyers outside the US, oil prices continued to recover, reflecting the strength of factors supporting demand. -Oil Continues Gains, Brent Crude Hits $77. Oil prices rose for the second day in a row, after a decline in US inventories overshadowed more signs of economic weakness in China, the largest importer of crude. West Texas Intermediate crude traded above $74 a barrel, after ending the session up 0.8% on Thursday, while Brent crude closed near $77. Crude inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma, hub fell to their lowest since 2014, while consumer inflation in China is heading further toward zero. Third Weekly Gain Oil prices are set for a third weekly gain, supported by cold weather that is boosting demand for heating fuel & could disrupt U.S. refineries. The imminent return of President-elect Donald Trump to the WH is also increasing the risk to Iranian supplies and creating tensions over a potential trade war that could weigh on energy demand. -Iraq Declares 2025 The Year Of Industry.. Will Its Decisions Succeed? The PM's Advisor, Hamoudi Al-Lami, confirmed that the Iraqi government has placed the industrial sector at the top of its priorities within its government program, announcing that 2025 will be the year of industry in Iraq. Al-Lami explained that the Prime Minister's visit to Iraqi factories came to reflect the serious trend towards promoting national industry, pointing out that the Council of Ministers issued an unprecedented package of decisions to support this sector, including providing sovereign guarantees to the private sector that were previously limited to the government sector only, with the aim of establishing new production lines & modern factories. He added that the government seeks to reduce dependence on oil revenues by exploiting the assets that Iraq possesses, such as raw materials, industrial expertise & the local market, stressing that the Council of Ministers reduced customs duties to levels close to zero & provided soft loans with low interest to support the expansion of existing factories & the establishment of new ones. Al-Lami pointed out that the government is working on establishing integrated industrial cities that will be offered to developers to provide the necessary services, noting the PM’s directive on the necessity of submitting applications to protect local products when achieving 50% market coverage, in line with the National Product Protection Law by imposing additional fees or preventing the import of competing goods. Al-Lami also stressed that the government is keen on coordination between factories & farmers, especially in the food sectors, stressing the importance of supporting local agricultural production to provide factory supplies, such as dairy products & their derivatives. At the end of his speech, Al-Lami announced the government's plans to restore the production of fertilizers, petrochemicals & other products that have been absent from the Iraqi market for years, stressing that periodic meetings will be held with industrialists to address challenges & achieve comprehensive industrial development. With these steps, the government seeks to transform Iraq into an integrated industrial country, capable of achieving self-sufficiency & reducing dependence on imports, which will enhance the country's economy & achieve prosperity for citizens. -With The End Of The Legislative Holiday... Parliamentary Movement To Resolve The “Controversial Laws” In The Coming Days. Once again, the scenario of controversial laws returns to the forefront, with the end of the parliament’s legislative recess, despite the heated disputes over some of its provisions and warnings against adopting the one-basket approach in resolving them.

  16. Iraq's missing funds.. Dubai in the circle of accusation: smuggling is still ongoing and Trump is coming Economy |Today, 13:02 | +A-A Baghdad Today - Baghdad MP Baqir Al-Saadi revealed, today, Saturday (January 11, 2025), that Dubai has become the largest point for smuggling Iraqi money abroad, pointing to the involvement of individuals, exchange offices and banks in these operations. Al-Saadi said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "Money smuggling from Iraq is still ongoing in various forms, whether by individuals or exchange companies, in addition to the involvement of some banks that use remittances as a means of transferring money in a way that raises big question marks." He added, "Dubai has become the largest destination for these funds, with clear indicators observed during the past period confirming the involvement of some banks in facilitating smuggling operations." Al-Saadi stressed that "the Iraqi parliament, through its oversight duties, is following up on many files related to this matter, some of which are under investigation in coordination with the relevant oversight authorities," noting that "the Central Bank of Iraq has suspended the activities of 10 banks due to suspicions of smuggling money outside the country in ways that do not comply with the established instructions and controls." Al-Saadi explained that "the file of money smuggling is very complex, despite the series of measures taken by the Central Bank, including coordination with the US Treasury Department, which imposed sanctions on some of the banks involved." He pointed out that "smuggling operations depend on complex paths and routes, which makes controlling them a major challenge," stressing that "there are important investigations underway that may yield tangible results in the coming period." Al-Saadi concluded by saying, "Efforts are ongoing to uncover the facts and hold those involved accountable, but combating this thorny issue requires more time and strict measures." It is noteworthy that the US President-elect, Donald Trump, has stated more than once that he will deal firmly with the issue of protecting the dollar in the world, especially with countries that have admitted their involvement in currency smuggling and money laundering, such as Iraq, which the Trump team believes is lenient in currency and oil smuggling operations. https://baghdadtoday.news/265657-أموال-العراق-المفقودة.-دبي-في-دائرة-الاتهام-التهريب-لايزال-مستمرا-وترامب-قادم.html

  20. Here's an article of Dinarian interests... The new ER Is Now Live On The Bank Screens. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Bruce The Goose: The New ER Is Now Live On The Banks Screens. ARTICLE: Thursday morning. Then the point was when those banks & redemption centers had completed all of the pigging around the world, the rates on the screens would become live as of Thursday. Now that’s in banks on bank screens & in redemption centers, the rates on their screens would all be live as of 2am in the morning, this morning. Now it’s been a little tough to get detailed information on this. So they wrapped all that up at 2am in the morning this morning, Thursday morning. Then the point was when those banks and redemption centers had completed all of the pinging all around the world, the rates on the screens would become live. Now that’s in banks on bank screens & in redemption centers, the rates on their screens would all be live as of 2am in the morning, this morning. Now it’s been a little tough to get detailed information on this. It’s probably just as well. But we did understand that there was a conference call yesterday from noon to 2 Eastern that would have incorporated all of the redemption centers leaders & bank managers, at least bank managers throughout the country, the U.S. & then what was interesting was that there were two main things that they discussed from what we’ve heard on this conference call, one of which was that these currencies which we’re exchanging, they are not a taxable event.

  29. Oil prices jump more than 3% to post third straight weekly gain Economy 2025-01-10 // 05:07 Shafaq News / Oil prices jumped on Friday and are set to post gains for the third week in a row as traders focus on potential supply disruptions if more sanctions are imposed on Russia and Iran. Brent crude futures rose $2.66, or 3.5 percent, to $79.58 a barrel by 1154 GMT, their highest in more than three months, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $2.64, or 3.6 percent, to $76.56. In the three weeks to Jan. 10, Brent crude jumped 9 percent, while WTI crude gained 10 percent. “There are a number of drivers today. In the longer term, the market is focused on the possibility of more sanctions. In the short term, the cold weather in the US is increasing fuel demand,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. Ahead of the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, expectations are growing of supply disruptions due to tightening sanctions on Russia and Iran, while oil inventories remain low. This could happen before the inauguration, as US President Joe Biden is expected to announce new sanctions targeting the Russian economy before Trump takes office. Russia’s oil and shipping sectors have been a major target of sanctions so far. On the other hand, the US National Weather Service expects the central and eastern parts of the country to witness below average temperatures. Many parts of Europe have also been hit by a severe cold snap and temperatures are likely to remain below normal for this time of year. JPMorgan analysts expect these factors to boost demand. “We expect a significant year-on-year increase in global oil demand of 1.6 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2025, supported primarily by demand for heating fuel, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas,” JPMorgan said in a note on Friday. The rise in oil prices comes despite a sixth straight week of gains in the dollar. A stronger dollar typically weighs on prices and makes crude more expensive to buy outside the United States. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/سعار-النفط-تقفز-كثر-من-3-لتحقق-مكاسب-لل-سبوع-الثالث-على-التوالي

  31. ` Swoosh! (Can't find the right Jeff Dunham Peanut vid to post) If people think Nostradamus was a "wild man" he was one fo the very few HEALERS to heal the Black Death during his time by simply washing with soap. Venga was also a healer. Good series on her life although some won't like it because its not dubbed into English.

  32. Besides being / self-proclaiming oneself a "guru" means absolutely nothing....Zero, zilch, nada.... The hard, bitter facts and truth are all that really matters, ie. what can be undeniably demonstrated.... which conflicts big time with the term "guru"

  36. Sure it is, the question is is even worth you reading? There are several gurus that all I do is read the name and move on, pimpy comes to mind. I have give that waste of time too much of my time reading his worthless, inconsistent ramblings. The goose is defiantly another waist of time but this is the rumor section and where this trash belongs. I honestly believe this investment has moved past the rumor section and the you can get up to date in the actual news portion of this site, this is more for fun, to me. Go RV/RI!!!!

  41. MOP: Iraq imports between 50-75 kg of gold daily Economy +A -A Baghdad - WAA The Ministry of Planning announced today, Saturday, the date of opening the gold testing center at Kirkuk Airport, it indicated that Iraq imports between 50-75 kg of gold daily. The spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The work of the gold testing centers is ongoing at the Iraqi airports that were recently opened and affiliated with the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control in the Ministry of Planning, as these centers operate around the clock at the airports of Baghdad, Najaf, Basra and soon in Kirkuk." He added that "there is an increase in the process of importing gold entering Iraq, as it is recorded daily as a general average of gold at about 50 to 75 kg through official ports," indicating that "the testing units at the airports undertake procedures, and these procedures are as easy as they are accurate and do not take a long time due to the presence of very advanced devices." Al-Hindawi explained that "Iraq is one of three countries that possess such high-precision devices, whether in terms of weights, marking or inspection," noting that "these procedures have greatly facilitated the work of goldsmiths and reduced the costs that the importer used to bear in the process of transporting gold from the airport or any other port to the headquarters of the Central Organization for Standardization to examine and mark it." He continued: "These procedures have become easy as soon as the shipment arrives at the airport, it is transferred through customs to the inspection center or unit located at the airport, and within a short time, perhaps not exceeding two to three hours, all these procedures are completed and the importer receives the gold and leaves the airport examined and marked," explaining that "this will contribute to protecting the economy and protecting the consumer as well." Today, 16:54 MOP: Iraq imports between 50-75 kg of gold daily » Iraqi News Agency
