I always ask myself " How long can a country go without a tradeable currency? Especially if they want to rebuild their infastructure" To-date, Iraq has proven that you can go a long time, yet now with sanctions lifted and oil for food done in june, you would think that time would be about up. Is it possible to stretch it till the oil for food is done? you would think that they would need at least 6 months to get people transfered from welfare to production. Surely the rv is imminent and there is a lot of signs pointing to right now, more than we have seen in the past 6 years.
