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 7-15-2025 Militia Man Article Quote: "...direct channel linking importers with American products and in turn enable American investors to enter the Iraqi Market." So one of the largest economies in the world is going to join and partnership with Iraq? Really? At 1310? They've been involved for a long time...The largest stockholders in the world have been involved with Iraq to get them to where they are today. 7-15-2025 Sandy Ingram Some investors believe if Iraq is accepted under Article VIII of the IMF agreement the dinar could gain more value. Also if Iraq continues to limit the black market and strengthen official exchange channels it could boost investor confidence. Article VIII is another reason international bankers have laughed at IQD investors. International bankers are not laughing so hard these days as they see Iraq has support in the White House and the keywords IQD, Central Bank of Iraq and USD/IQD exchange rate receive over 1 million searches a month on search engines.

Thanks for the up vote, but it was supposed to be sarcastic. Lol

I'm for banning medical debt from credit reports. It's all a scam. Most charges if not all are ridiculous.

Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... Between IMF Recommendations & Baghdad's Ambitions - Iraq Plans A New Economy. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. Tishwash: Iraq Ssigns An Agreement With The US Company HKN To Increase Oil Production In Tthe Hamrin Field. ARTICLE: The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced on Tuesday the signing of an agreement in principle between the North Oil Company & the American company HKN to develop the Hamrin oil field. Deputy PM for Energy Affairs & Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani affirmed the ministry's commitment to cooperating with reputable American, Western & other int'l companies to develop oil fields, optimize gas investment & maximize production capacity in support of the nat'l economy. This came during his patronage & attendance of the signing ceremony of the agreement to invest & develop the Hamrin field. Abdul Ghani said that the ministry seeks to raise the field’s production rates to 60 thousand barrels per day, in addition to investing (45-50) cubic meters of associated gas to supply power generation stations with fuel, noting that the Hamrin field is one of the producing fields & the current production rates are (20-25) thousand barrels per day, despite the economic & security challenges. He pointed out Iraq's aspirations for joint cooperation with reputable American companies, explaining that there are numerous negotiations for investment in the oil, gas & energy sectors. The signing ceremony was attended by the Ministry's Undersecretaries, the Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy, the PM's Advisor & a number of Directors General at the Ministry's HQ. US Chargé d'Affaires Stephen Fagin said, "We are pleased to be attending the signing ceremony today at the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. We are also pleased that an American company is investing in Iraq & we would like to see more business with Iraq." For his part, the Director General of the North Oil Company, Amer Khalil, said that the agreement signed would serve as a basis for signing a development contract later, noting that the contract aims to develop all oil wells in the field & qualify personnel & contributes to securing gas fuel to operate power plants & employ Iraqi workers. In turn, HKN Vice President Matthew Zeiss said: "We are very proud to be working and cooperating with the Ministry of Oil. Our goal is to develop the Hamrin field to its full potential, utilize Iraqi capabilities to operate & operate at 80% capacity, and develop the local community in the operating area." Tishwash: Between IMF Recommendations & Baghdad's Ambitions - Iraq Plans A New Economy. PM's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Monday that the government's reform policy has not deviated from the recommendations of the IMF, while explaining that the government seeks to transform the rentier economy into a diversified, productive economy. “Despite the significant financial exposure to oil revenues, which has made the financing of public spending, especially investment, dependent on oil price fluctuations & the oil asset cycle, as well as the pressure of employment in the government sector, which has absorbed the state’s resources without creating parallel productivity in the real economy, these are facts that put pressure on the growth paths of the rentier economy. However, it can be said that Iraq possesses promising economic components if they are employed within a realistic & gradual development vision,” Saleh said in a statement to the official media, followed by “Al-Mutalaa”. He added, "Strengthening the non-oil sector requires a real shift from a rentier economy to a diversified productive economy, something the current government is seeking to achieve within the framework of its government program. The reform policy currently being adopted by the government has not departed from the recommendations of the IMF, which are repeated in most of its meetings, official gatherings & reports." He pointed out that the government program approved by the Council of Representatives in October 2022 serves as a guide & vision that has been implemented in the work of the Iraqi reform government. This has been embodied in the transformations in the country's economic policy, despite the heavy social & economic legacy accumulated over the past years, such as stalled projects, thousands of employment contracts with the government that lead to permanent employment & the poverty alleviation program, which required reaching two million families in the social welfare budget. He explained that: “The government has paved its way with the non-oil economy in an exceptional way since it announced that it is a government of services, as it began implementing dozens of service infrastructure projects that were suspended, including starting to build one million housing units & hundreds of school buildings, hospitals, bridges, roads, electricity & water networks & announcing a partnership program, especially in the industrial and energy fields, with the private sector, by granting the private sector sovereign guarantees to interact in technologically advanced industrial investment, without neglecting the agricultural support policy that provided sufficient security from the production of grain crops. This is what indicated the decline in unemployment to 13 percent after it was 17 percent, in addition to the high stability in the general price level, which did not exceed 3 percent.” He continued, "The government is proceeding with banking structural reforms without interruption, in addition to its successes in bringing Iraq into the digital age by improving digital payment systems & the progress achieved in the gas sector & its exploitation within the development of the energy sector & natural resources, all of which constitute key factors for sustainable economic growth, which reflects the stability of Iraq's credit rating, with the adoption of the Development Path Strategy as a program to achieve the goals of generating a leading economic sector in development outside the oil sector, to shape the coming economic future in sustainable development in our country without interruption."

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge in Texas removed a Biden-era finalized ruled by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would have removed medical debt from credit reports. U.S. District Court Judge Sean Jordan of Texas’s Eastern District, who was appointed by Trump, found on Friday that the rule exceeded the CFPB ‘s authority. Jordan said that the CFPB is not permitted to remove medical debt from credit reports according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies. Removing medical debts from consumer credit reports was expected to increase the credit scores of millions of families by an average of 20 points, the bureau said. The CFPB states that its research has shown outstanding healthcare claims to be a poor predictor of an individual’s ability to repay a loan, yet they are often used to deny mortgage applications. The three national credit reporting agencies — Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion — announced last year that they would remove medical collections under $500 from U.S. consumer credit reports. The CFPB’s rule was projected to ban all outstanding medical bills from appearing on credit reports and prohibit lenders from using the information..........
