Tidbit: Salaries are lagging, infrastructure services have not been refurbished/builtout. But Sadr doesn't have citizens rioting, protesting. Why? 3 months ago or so, PM Sudani told the citizens the IQD would be worth more than the dollar. When Iraqi Muslims traveled to Saudi Arabia for Haj, it was reported they did not spend dinars but spent dollars. Why? Look at the blueprint. The dollar black market will die a very quick death when the dinar is worth more than the dollar. Poof! Immediate! That is why the exchange companies are complaining. It is against the law to use the dollar currently to even buy a car. The dollar has been outlawed in Iraq. You cannot build out a country with roads, housing, ports, airports at a rate of 1310 and investors won't touch it at that rate. It just doesn't pencil.

* Census scheduled for 2024 * Only 40 feet of hard cast remain on the front of the new CBI building The WTO will convene in Baghdad on October 4, 2024, a WTO Iraq acceptance symposium. In c/ Ceorder to be accepted into the WTO Iraq will need an internationally acceptable exchange rate. The USTreasury has spent from June 2023 until currently with a team finalizing new banking systems at the CBI. "Al-Sudani stressed that the government has taken several measures with the Central Bank of Iraq in implementing financial reform, which is considered a key to economic reform in achieving the government’s goal of moving from a unilateral economy towards a productive and multi-economic economy, where, for the first time, a financial database ""was created"" for banking transactions, in a way that achieves confidence***. ""Required in dealings with banks and international banks"". The 3-year budget was approved in June 2023 for 2023-202024-25 with two definite portions: Service and development. There was not adequate funds in the 23' budget to cover just the service/salaries portion of the budget. Funds have not been spent for the 23' portion of the budget. Recently funds have been spent for salaries, retirees, etc from accounts with unpaid balances, funds from stolen monies brought back into Iraq (crooks have been given amnesty if the funds are returned). So what is Iraq waiting on to spend 23' money? The rate. * HCL is about ready to pass, but IMO we don't need it. The HCL needs a rate, the rate doesn't need the HCL. * Sudani went on a PR tour in New York at the recent UN General Assembly meeting. MOUs, contracts, etc have been signed in the past few months in Baghdad with countries, companies, wanting to do business in Iraq. * IMO we are there! Too early from my brain (3:30 am here) to include more progress that has been achieved in Iraq, but they have turned around and are ready to run. Maliki is even praising and supporting this government.

Laid Back has given so much of his time, expertise, and basically himself, to people he has never met here for a long time, while helping us to have a better understand of our investment. Please send prayers and white light protection to not only LB, but all the people and animals impacted by this fire. Lahaina was once my home and I understand what a magical place it is and what it means to the locals, and how important it was to LB. Hurry back, LB. We've got an RV party to attend real soon and you promised to buy the first round of Mai Tai's and puu puus. ♥️
