  1. Morning....not sure if this was posted and don't have the time to see if it has been.

    This is from the MRI Banker's Guide website, dates March 5, with link to the full article from the Kurdish Globe

    http://www.mriguide.com/updates2011.htm

    Iraq: An article in "Kurdish Globe" informs that the Central Bank of Iraq plans to issue revalued notes of 50; 100 and 200 "new" dinars; which will be equal to 50,000; 100,000 and 200,000 of the old dinars. If true, this seems to indicate that the current 5,000; 10,000 and 25,000 dinars will continue to be used. As for the small denominations, the plans call for 1 and 2 "new" dinar coins, to gradually replace the current 1000 dinars notes. (Courtesy Kurdish Globe) ...................................05MAR12

    Central Bank: Some criticism of state officials to delete the strategic behavior of the zeros is not responsible

    12 September, 2011 06:16:00

    Considered the CBI criticism from some state employees to Strutijeth efforts to delete the three zeroes from the currency's actions as irresponsible.

    A source at the Iraqi Central Bank, said the charges against the bank and criticism of his efforts to delete the three zeroes from the Iraqi currency motives are unknown and are incompatible with the rules of behavior that should be adhered to by state officials in tackling the issues of different countries, particularly the sensitive ones.

    The source confirmed that the central bank is these actions as a clear violation of the rules of conduct and acting career, which is intended to compensate for de jure and international central bank to the risk of moral hazard to the public in various forms, and the central bank will retain the right to legal defense of his being loaded with the bodies responsible for compensating the interests of the country to the danger of prejudice to the financial irresponsible.

    The source said the Committee on Economic Affairs in the Cabinet was appealed to the bank in 2007 to study the draft reform of the Iraqi currency through restructuring and deleting three zeros of them, so as to facilitate trading cash and reduce the transaction costs bitmap in the framework of Astartejah reform the system of cash management in the country, as it has done the majority of countries in the world, particularly those that left the stages of the turmoil and economic decline, which seeks to rebuild its cash on the basis of a strong and coherent. He added that the bank was surprised to launch some government employees who hold jobs in the centers of the various state media attack is unprecedented on the bank, accusing him of saying there was work beyond the law, distort the idea of Monetary Reform, ignoring at the same time the nobility of the institution of national monetary guardian of the public money and the garrison of stability and economic development at the time won by the Central Bank of Iraq since its inception in 1947 until the present time and the respect and confidence of the financial institution and central banks in the world.

  5. These show up today as statements from the CBI

    No idea if it is either or neither of these

    ******************

    BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has sold US$210 million in its auction for the sale and purchase of foreign currencies on Monday, on an exchange rate of 1,170 dinars per dollar, down from its Sunday sales of 211 million dollars, the CBI’s daily bulletin reported.

    **************

    Iraqi Central Bank said on Sunday, said some government employees who hold jobs in the positions of the state media are waging an unprecedented attack on the bank, accusing him of acts that are beyond the law mar the idea of ​​monetary reform.

    He said in a statement received "the gate of Iraq," a copy of it, he had already received an official letter from the Committee on Economic Affairs in the Cabinet in 2007 appealing to the bank to consider a draft reform of the system working in Iraq expressed by restructuring and deleting three zeros, and on some easy cash trading and reduces cost of cash transactions as part of a reform strategy for the cash management system in the country.

    I don't think so....only because I can reconize arabic "numbers", just not the words. The numbers are different in this news release, such as in the second line, I think the Arabic numbers are referring to "2005". But I will go double check that. ;]

  6. If anyone is interested, here are the Cliff Notes of that call:

    Frank and Delta CC 9-8-2011

    Frank is speaking about some of last few days’ news – he speaks of the two videos we’ve seen the last couple days.

    Frank is waiting for Delta to come on and give report – Delta reports

    Frank explains the video from the other day on CNJT

    Explains he feels the rate will not stay at .86 for verylong – it will explode!

    Three hands – in hand number 1 – 1000 dinar – hand 2 – 1 Iraqidinar – 3rd hand – 1 USD

    Frank explains how this will NOT LOP!!

    Delta speaks;

    Delta welcomes back Frank E and Jan

    CBI website being down – speaks of the past holiday – cbi upand down – the NEW WEB SITE IS DONE – it’s being tested and prepped for being released!!! Warka bank – copyright 2010 CBI site during holiday – site was suspended – how can this be? How does it come back? Delta says they were testing the new site.

    Delta’s contact in CBI clearly heard from Shabibi that this would happen in SEPTEMBER!!! We just weren’t told what day in Sept.

    Speaks how their reserves went from $50 billion to $58 billion when site was up and down over holiday. But true reserves is around $250+ billion.

    The RV is confidential / classified – 2 books – 1 they show –1 they have the real numbers

    Article that came out today – Delta told us about a month ago – one came out today – about meeting that happened last Thursday! During Eid holiday. The financial committee met on Thursday withShabs and advisors for hours. Discussed theprocess / methods how to lift 3 0s; and that they all agreed how to go aboutthis!! The system HAS TO GO DOWN beforethe RV! On June 23, shabs had cbi tobegin the process and start the system. Every bank has their own stack of money of dinar. LDs are done – article June 23 up to 100dinar – done. Utube video is huge! Coming from outside Iraq. An official announcement.

    We are now being told this is our month. The have told us the rate starting out which is.86. old and new will co-exist.

    UTube video is huge! 2-3 years meaning they will have several RVs over 2-3 yrs explainsDelta. May take about 2 yrs to get backto where they were 20/30 yrs ago. But likely not to take even that long. They cannot enter Chapt. 8 w/o using ONE currency! Rate to likely go up first of 2012. Delta thinks possibly ONE YEAR to reach their old RATE strength/value.

    Frank speaks about that they have not only oil but GAS! Many other economic commodities...

    Frank thinks in 3 months another RV and in 6 months another and by end of 2012 first of 2013 another.

    2004 was when CBI started using the USD for liquidity to start the auctions - the US helped Iraq – they bought /swapped money – this is how the US got the 20+ Trillion dinar

    Bluestar pipes in for a second

    Iraq to create special committees to track all people who do counterfeiting. To guard the old dinar so they cannot smuggle it out to then exchange it for /with the new rate!

    Franks speaks of a report from the financial committees that this has been done. Done a while ago – meeting resulted in an agreement of the mechanism and its impact on the economy. And they liked it! Yeah, it’s kewl, here’s our stamp of approval.

    Many articles in past couple months about the removing of the 3 Os! Frank thinks the process of lifting the Os is DONE. 11 articles about lifting 3 Os at least. Big pile telling us this is important that they have done it.

    Delta takes us back to June 23. CBI begins the restructuring their monetary policy. Completing this behind closed doors since then. Getting all banks up to spec and online and synced. Delta says yes, this is done! The article from today – can be up to two weeks old. A week ago this article that came out today was confirming what was done a week ago. Delta likes the insistence from the CBI saying this is going to get done. NO LOP! All the implementation of lifting the 0s is done! Today he said ALL THE PREPERATION TO RELEASE THE RV IS DONE! They will and have to report to the Parliament that they are done. Delta said his is SO Happy with this news! This is big! WE SHOULD BE VERY EXCITED! Someone outside of Iraq announcing the Iraq RV is going to happen! Frank says why did take a month and a half to announce this? CBI does not need approval to do an RV. However, they are not in control. In that article no mention about Parliament approval. They don’t need it.

    We now await the announcement of what has been completed behind closed doors!

    Shabib never mentions issues with the Erbil, the HCL, the GOI… he just wants security.

    Bluestar – Asks about the US leaving Iraq – Delta says we will always be there – biggest Embassy is in Iraq

    Security? Iran? Will this affect oil and thus the RV. After the revalue, no turning back it will only go up! Might take a while to reach 70s and 80s rate. Delta says we are in a WIN WIN situation! Iraq will not fail; the US andworld will make sure of this. Everyone needs Iraq to do well! There could be delays, but they will move forward.

    Eagle 1 – heard that central bank of US would be making amove with all the CBs for major move that would affect our economy.

    Delta – the meeting of all the CB heads is a huge indicator? Why did they all get together??? Are the meeting to discuss cheeseburgers? No, they are talking about money! Big money! LoL

    Frank – we are likely to see rapid fire publicity about theRV from now on until the RV

    Nadia comes on and reports to the family that her friend has seen the LDs at a bank and they are waiting for them to be put out. They said why do you want them? You can’t use them yet, but SOOM!!! WHOO! HOO!

    Delta just found a new article and posted it;

    Iraq in hyperinflation; currency to berevalued 09-08-2011 09:38 BJT

    While many Asian nations battle stubbornly rising prices, Iraq offers anexample of the extreme - hyperinflation, that is - inflation that has spiraledout of control.

    It occurs when there is an unchecked increase in the money supply. Iraq'scentral bank is planning to solve the issue by completely re-valuing its Dinar.

    In countries experiencing hyperinflation, the central banks often falls into avicious cycle - printing money in larger and larger denominations as smallerdenomination notes become worthless. One way to avoid the use of large numbersis by declaring a new unit of currency.

    Mudher Kasim, Vice President of Iraq Central Bank said, "Over the past 30years, inflation and economic intervention has caused the denomination of theDinar to continue to rise. But the exchange rate is so low that the highestdenomination is worth less than 25 dollars. Therefore, we need to carry outcurrency reform."

    While many Asian nations battle stubbornly rising prices, Iraq offers anexample of the extreme - hyperinflation.

    Iraq's central bank announced back in June that it would re-denominate theIraqi Dinar, removing three zeroes.

    The central bank says complete currency reform will take 2 to 3 years. Expertssay it won't be an easy task.

    Adnan Al Sady, an economic analyst said, "It is unfortunate that the Iraqimarket is unstable right now. Currency reform will have great impact on themarket. That's what we are worried about."

    Many residents are also concerned about what impact the change might have ontheir spending habits.

    Majeed Laftah, a resident in Baghdad said, "The sudden change of the Dinarmight cause problems. We hope that after the currency reform, we can still buythings like the way we did before."

    Right now, the highest denomination of Dinar is 25 thousand, and the lowest is250. One U.S dollar is equivalent to 1180 Dinars.

    Twilight News / The Central Bank, on Monday, he sought to reform the Iraqi currency, which suffer from inflation in the monetary mass, indicating that the size of several trillion and reached a size comparable to U.S. monetary bloc.

    The deputy governor of the Central Bank of the appearance of Mohammed in an interview with " Twilight News "that" the Iraqi currency to suffer from inflation of several trillions and trillions of comparable size in the U.S. monetary bloc. "

    It is said that the Iraqi Central Bank revealed, earlier, that the new Iraqi currency will increase by three zeros, indicating that he had conducted an extensive study concluded that the lifting of the zeroes will strengthen the value of the Iraqi currency.

    Saleh explained that "the mass of U.S. monetary inflation because of the strength of the U.S. economy, but inflation, the Iraqi currency was due to the deterioration of the Iraqi economy."

    Economists and shows that the process of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency will lead to increased value and to increase the purchasing power of citizens, pointing to the need to follow the policies of peaceful citizens and to persuade them to get used for a period not exceeding two years.

    The Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, "the Bank seeks to reform the Iraqi currency by deleting the zeros and the issuance of coins of small and large are not exposed to damage quickly."

  8. Thanks Trooper :rolleyes:

    "..In theory and when lifting (three zeros from Iraqi dinar), the purchasing power will rise to the U.S. dollar significantly to become one U.S. dollar equals (JD and a half) just so that the goods imported from abroad, worth before the lifting of the zeroes (1.2 million) Iraqi dinars, equivalent to ( 1000) U.S. dollars, will be worth after the lifting of the three zeroes (1200) Iraqi dinars, equivalent to (1000) dollars as well, and this will Igelb to remember any negative effects on the Iraqi citizen of the theory..."

    I f I understand this correctly, then I really hope this "theory" becomes a "fact"..SOON! What this is saying is....Before: 1,000 USD, equals 1.2 million dinars. After: 1,200 dinars, equals 1,000 USD..! Our 25,000 dinar would be worth approximately...$24,996.00 USD (if I did the math right).

    Lift--Delete--or, Raise the zeros...what a mystery! :blink:

  9. I wouldn't mind having several of these though.....

    Rare, 1980 Iraq Gold "100" Dinars Coin, sold on ebay for $1,200.00...!

    Hey....maybe the new coins coming out will be made of Gold, too! Now that's wishful thinking :D

  10. Hi..!

    I am listening to the Call Squads 8-18-11 call, and at about 200:00 minute mark, a caller comes on to report that there is a Bank in Wisconsin that has purchased a De La Rue machine, and has been training their employees on how to care for people that will be cashing in after the RV. He also wanted to share this information to debunk that article which came out that said you couldn’t cash out in that state! I found what he said to be very refreshing...and he sounds VERY genuine! I would hope that there are other banks in the USA that are preparing for the RV as well. I think this would be a good topic to research..!

    I love the Call Squad calls, and have to admit, this is the first time I have been able to endure listening for any length of time....they are so lo–oong!

    Hope this little Nugget blesses a few of you today :woot:

    Ministries Responsible for Creating the Confidence of Citizens by

    Warn of the effects of the new currency to be negative and strict procedures

    BAGHDAD - morning

    The Central Bank of Iraq is heading towards the printing of new currency after deleting three zeros had announced last year, bank expert warned of dire consequences may result from this process in the event of failure to take tough measures to reduce these effects.

    It is useful to note that many countries already in Iraq go through such experience and has taken measures capable of maintaining the real value of cash Btabath ancient and modern, while stability of the edition of modern Turkey, Brazil and many countries of the world have experienced deleting three zeros, but managed to limit effects caused by the experience.

    The expert said that the bank change the currency by removing three zeros will lead to disastrous effects if the monetary authority has not taken firm action to reduce them.

    The executive director of the Association of Iraqi private banks Aziz Hassoun in an interview for (economic morning) that all the international experiences have passed this stage, such as Brazil and Trkiyao other countries, resulting in side effects and affected even the general level of prices towards the ascent, which led to the decline in the purchasing power of the currency.

    Goldfinch warned of the instability of the exchange rate to act firmly to maintain the exchange rate equilibrium does not prejudice the value of currency in circulation of two currencies, and monitor the behavior of speculators who are trying to exploit the circumstances, as happened with the beginning of the occupation when you change the currency, where excelled others in the field of forging the new currency and the creation of differences between the categories of cash in the discharge and other tricks and manipulation, stressing that the experience was harsh and effects found so far by the launch of the decision to convert without follow-up time.

  12. Good Afternoon, Family!

    Just thought you might appreciate a little humor and an update from BofA.

    I've been continuing to keep the conversation going at our local branch concerning the RV of the Dinar. One of the tellers decided to do his own research -- especially after I advised the managers that the so-called "Scam Advisory" concerning the IQD coming out of their main Foreign Currency exchange department was, all by itself, a scam deliberately perpetrated by Geithner back in February of 2010 -- and decided to purchase some Dinar for himself. His family got in on the act, and they decided -- again after doing their own research -- that this might just be a good idea for them to do.

    It looks like the conversation spread throughout the bank, and the Assistant Manager (yes, the same one who apologetically told me a couple weeks back that their Foreign Currency department was telling them to advise customers that the whole Dinar thing was a scam) decided she better get in while the getting was good. I went by the bank today just to let the teller know the latest news coming out of Iraq. He wasn't in today, but the Assistant Manager caught me and followed me outside the bank. She wanted to tell me that she had purchased some Dinar herself. Secondly she wanted to let me know that -- after all of the so-called "Scam Advisories" coming out of the Foreign Currency department in New York -- their branch had just received an advisory TODAY that Bank of America would be participating in exchanging the Dinar, and that they had received word from the Central Bank of Iraq to prepare for the announcement of the RV. I started laughing when she told me this, but she very soberly said, "I'm so sorry! I want to apologize for having to give you a false report concerning the Dinar. We should be able to help you cash in your Dinar in just a few days."

    I couldn't help but continue laughing, but I thanked her for the information and told her that she was even farther ahead in her information than that which I had.

    HEY, HEY, HEY, FOLKS! WE'RE WITHIN SPITTING DISTANCE! READY OR NOT...........

    Blessings on you.

  13. Sorry Wisconsin...or any other US State per-se...

    I am sticking to this news article posed yesterday by quietlearner.....

    Investors Look for Opportunities in Iraqi Recovery CNBC today

    The thought of investing in Iraq may make some investors cringe, but others argue the situation is changing on the ground. Given the euro zone debt jitters, a weaker outlook for the US economy and fears of some emerging markets overheating, it may be worth a consideration.

    As the debate rages on as to whether some US troops should remain after a planned withdrawal at the end of the year, the security situation is still volatile. A top US official earlier said that Iraq “is less safe than a year ago”. Figures released by the health ministry showed that the number of civilians killed by violence in the country rose to 159 in July, marking one of the worst months of the year.

    But Shwan Taha, Owner of Rabee Securities, believes it is now “much better” in comparison to 2005-2007.

    “There are much more dangerous places on earth that investors are flocking to and where the rewards are less than those in Iraq,” he told CNBC.

    Here are some numbers to ruminate on. The 10-year sovereign bond yields for Iraq, at 6.65 percent, are roughly on par with Italy and Spain, and lower than Ireland and Portugal. Similar patterns can be found in Iraq’s credit default swaps (CDS), or the cost of insuring the country’s debt against default for five years.

    And the violence “does not seem to be having any effect on foreign direct investment (FDI), which is increasing, substantially,” Hussain Qaragholi, Vice President of the US Iraq Business Council and Managing Partner of Phoenix Capital, told CNBC in an interview.

    FDI into Iraq increased by 175 percent in 2010, data from fDiIntelligence showed. The country took 7 percent of FDI flows into the Middle East region in 2010, up from 2 percent in 2009, becoming the fourth leading destination in the region.

    Dunia Frontier Consultants, a financial services company, estimates some $45.6 billion in investments flowed into Iraq in the first half of 2011, already surpassing the total for 2010.

    You can see the impact everywhere. The Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) is up more than 40 percent so far this year, making it one of the best performing markets in the world - compared to the Egyptian Stock Exchange, down 35 percent year-to-date. Trading is often thin, but greater prospects may be around the corner.

    Qaragholi looks forward to the listing of Iraq’s telecom initial public offerings, possibly doubling or tripling the market value of the stock exchange, currently just above $4 billion. It is a modest number, even by regional standards.

    A substantial amount of investment goes into the oil and gas sector. Iraq is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, not bound by quotas, and currently exports 2.7 million barrels per day (bpd). The plan is to expand output to 3 million bpd by the end of the year, and 12 million bpd by 2017.

    A final draft agreement was signed earlier in July by the government with Royal Dutch Shell cnbc_comboQuoteMove('popup_RDSA-GB_ID0EWKAC15839609');[RDSA-GB 2005.50 ] cnbc_quoteComponent_init_getData("RDSA-GB","WSODQ_COMPONENT_RDSA-GB_ID0EWKAC15839609","WSODQ","true","ID0EWKAC15839609","off","false","inLineQuote"); and Mitsubishi, paving the way for a $12 billion deal to capture flared gas in the south.

    Aside from oil and gas, what else is out there? Taha said he is very interested in the services sectors. “Personally I try to stay away from the flavor of the month and look a bit more long term,” he said.
