This is all I can find so far.... So probably not worth the paper it's written on Frank26 Sudani said to his citizens, Quote: ''Before the end of Ramadan, before the start of EID it is my desire to make a major announcement.' Ramadan comes to an end on the 8th of April. On the 9th EID starts." Well as they say ......Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sooner or later! Regardless..... I know I saw this statement in an article just prior to Frank saying it.....

He never said those words "rate announcement", as far as I remember. But He did say something. I'll try and find what I'm referring to.....

Maybe I'm dreaming.....But it almost just seems right for both of them to come out together with a new rate , and take all the credit. Didn't Sudani say He had a big announcement before the end of Ramadan? Or something like that?

THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ CLARIFIES THE MECHANISM FOR DEPOSITING OIL REVENUES ABROAD Economy Baghdad News The Central Bank of Iraq revealed the mechanism for depositing oil revenues abroad, in response to a parliamentary question on the subject. The document stated that the legal basis for depositing oil revenues in the IRAQ2 account with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was the expiration of the extension of the US President’s Executive Order 13303 put in place in 2003, which granted immunity to Iraqi funds deposited in the DFI account.
