[New CBI Announcement]

Blacklist those mofos sending our US dollahs over to Iran, Syria, and other unapproved places. JERKS. 

Lay the snack down CBI!

[Why is the right of Mosul left ??]

Are they really debating the dimensions and shapes of their city boundaries in reference to the process of kicking IS out of there?

Iraqidiculous…

[Al-Maliki presides over a meeting of the coalition of state law to discuss the legislation and laws]

So the villain of the decade coaches his minions that still have their dirty fingers in the proverbial Parliamentary cookie jar. 

Coming up with schemes and telling them what to vote for and not vote for, which days to be absent and which ones to show up and delay proceedings, etc.

When will he go away forever?

[Central denies dropping the old edition of the Dollar]

Does this indicate they've been circulating the same edition of dollars and haven't really gotten any replacement bills from the US Treasury?

What happens when the bills wear down and have to be taken out of circulation?       What happens if we don't send anymore over for some reason?

[Parliament begins first reading of the budget in 2017]

So many armored cars allotted to officials, geez.

[12 Oct 2016 Statement by an IMF Mission on Iraq]

With Allaq still sitting governor of the CBI, progress will still be delayed or outright impeded. He needs to be replaced, preferably with Dr. Shabibi.

[CBI stop working to grant bonds for contractors and why ??]

Is this similar to Trump not releasing his tax returns until after the audit is done?

[Postponement of the parliamentary session to after Eid]

Zebari buying time, paying people off with stolen CBI funds to keep them from attending sessions, so his questioning won't continue. 

[Formation of a committee negotiated between Baghdad and Erbil for the independence of Kurdistan]

Now with this nonsense again? How many times will they bring this up, drop it, bring it up again, ad nauseum?

[Minister of Culture: Babylon's inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list is long overdue​​​​​​​]

Maybe they'll find the missing RV in those wetlands and we can finally jump off this roller coaster ride.

[National Security Council held an emergency meeting chaired by Abadi]

So they've decided to let Turkey deal with Turkey's issues and wished them the best. Good. No sense in butting in and they can't spare any help with dealing with ISIS.

[Sick ISIS barbarians murder 25 'spies' by MELTING their bodies in corrosive NITRIC ACID]

Well if you've seen the ISIS be heading videos in the past, which international video forensic experts admitted were likely faked with high level technology, then it's hard to believe this report as well. 

If you're not there witnessing it firsthand, it's never 100% believable. 

[New CBI Announcement's 05/10/2016]

Iraq's population is similar to many others, there's a bell curve of citizen wealth holdings. The majority of people work for the government and get paid decently, so some can afford to buy the lower amount bonds and make some money over two or three years. There are always going to be rich, middle, and poor in any society. Iraq is no different. 

[CBI Daily Currency Auction - Monday - 9 May 2016]

31 banks? They sure are spreading it thin.

[Member of the parliamentary economic: the situation of the country is not conducive to the deletion of zeros from currency]

There has definitely never been an agreed definition of what delete the zeros means. And for security and stability, of course there will never be 100%, but I think they're looking for at least 95%, meaning Parliament is formed with people actually doing their jobs and not squabbling over political differences and money, and security pushing out all but the smallest circles and groups of violent terrorists. Until Shi'ite and Sunnin eventually mutually destroy each other, there will always be a small presence of that notion in any situation. But as long as they can keep it mostly contained, I think the CBI, ministry of finance, and other players involved could approve of a rate change/currency reform.

[Jarba: the Abadi submit his resignation and the new candidate must not be from the Dawa Party or the Supreme Council or the Sadrists (Details)]

Everyone's got their own opinion. Doesn't make any of them more right than the others, Al Jarba!

[Kurdish official confirms Article 140 of the referendum and the real solution to the problems of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government]

A win is a win, right? Peshmerga kickin' Daesh butt. 

[China is About to Take Control of Global Oil Markets Through Iraq and Iran]

Stupid China… gtfo of Iraq's oil business.

[China is About to Take Control of Global Oil Markets Through Iraq and Iran]

Stupid China… gtfo of Iraq's oil business.

[Financial Expert: It's hard to raise central bank sales of the dollar]

Yes, please stop selling the dollar.

[FALLING IRAQI CRUDE EXPORTS EASE SEVERE CONGESTION AT BASRA PORT]

Hhhmmm… so oil shipments are slowing, shouldn't prices be rising?

[CBI Daily Currency Auction - Tuesday - 26 April 2016]

It bumped up to 1190?!

[Adam Montana Weekly 20 April 2016]

$1 is fine, but $3.22 is muuuuuch better.

[Iraqi dinar exchange rate against the US dollar in the banks and the Iraqi market]

1280 market rate? Yowtch…

[Updated: Bank and coins page from the CBI]

There it is. The 50k note. Right there for us all to see.

Aren't there any articles with the chosen image showing people handling large denomination dinar notes? I'm surprised we haven't seen any of those yet.
