Iraq has not been in the basket thus far. You can go to IMF website and be added to receive notifications for each time there is a change in the SDR basket. I did this a couple of weeks ago and have received 4 emails and Iraq has not been included on either of the updates even though that is the currency/country that I selected to follow.
It sounded like the CHapter 7 sanctions were lifted, but i am having a hard time understanding the dialects of the different countries. Is that what you think as well?
Maybe I need to go back and read Rudy's post, but I thought the article read that the US was pushing for the gov to be formed and Rudy said that US-President O- was delaying the formation until the elections.
