Who was it that said; "I'll gladly pay you next Tuesday, for a hamburger today."
I think Ozzy said that. Oh wait,..... maybe it was Eddie Money? No, no, thats two tickets to paradise. Hold on, let me ask my husband, he will know, he's a musician too, but I just call him husband. Husband says.... J. Wellington Whimpey said that, or was that just Whimpey? I don't know.

only a couple secret people will know when iraq rvs their currency, and they will have stage names. your gonna have to stay tuned to those stage names till iraq rvs the dinars . how about that guy with the fake girl friend from notra dame. not thats a plot. he was good . once they found out he was full of it , do ya think he could get away with another fake girl friend story ?
some of these dinar gurus think they can tell a new story every week , and still have people believe them . the sad part is some still do .. i have never looked any of those clowns up on any of their own web sites or outlets .
i could though .. i could find all kinds of guru predictions and pretend . its not that hard to do ..
im absolutly positive if iraq rvs their currency , it wont be a secret , we will hear it on the cable news , unless its just a small increase to like 1125 per dolar .. something like that wont make any headlines , but it may even make the cable news if it hits 1000 with a story of redenomination of 1000 to 1 . ..
i do realize that if they are going to rv ,, huge ... it will not be in the news ahead of time .. unless it comes out along with a story of dinar sales ending at the cbi..because of imminent rv of the dinar .. that alone would drive up dinar value .. if the cbi came out and said next ,month the dinar would straight up rv 1 dollar per one dinar .. it wouldnt be hard to sell my dinars for 80 cents each , but if okie says .. or one of these other stage names say its going to rv .. that does not drive up anything or create a rv ... some people just want attention ..or want to make money off the advertisements off their web site .
if a web site makes 200 dollars a month .. they know that if they had 3 web sites they could make 600 a month ...so it is possible .. one person may just have more than one stage name . and is making up storys in concert with each stage name to make it seem more believable , generating more traffic for their web site .. the more hits they get on their link .. the more they make ...
HOWS IS THAT FOR THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Wow, you got your spell check working....Thats great... Thanks for the laugh, and super duper wow, what a BIG BOX you have......

Myanmar is an Article 14 currency and they changed the rate on April 2nd 2012. The new rate was on the Central bank website immediately.
I don't know that Burma can be compared to the crazy way Iraq goes about conducting banking business, especially in Iraq's infancy stages of reform, but okay....

Just to let you know-- I have read your posts for some time now, and I always like reading them. You seem to have some interesting business connections, and through them, you bring unusual information into the arena. I'm not a businesswoman by any means (I'm a retired college English professor), so to me, your posts often seem quite esoteric, but they are also always interesting. I often feel that I am being given a glimpse into the professional beliefs and attitudes of international bankers and other international businesspeople whose views I would, otherwise, never have an opportunity to know. Thank you.
I think you are a sweetie pie Francie....That is one of the nicest compliments anyone has ever given me. I adored my English Professor so much that I took all my English classes under her direction. I have a learning disability that only recently (within the last three years) has been properly diagnosed. I can actually sit still long enough to get everything going on inside this head out on paper, in a understandable and grammatically correct format. It's people like YOU, that make people like ME believe in ourselves. Thank you from all of us....that are just like me.

no point its just what the forex has posted for today jan 21 ...0009 cents per dinar .. ive seen these posting in one of those iraq papers before . that were not corect .. i checked the forec was not closed according to its holiday schedule .. they were trading world wide today .. maybe not in the us .. who knows .. but no point ..just adding to the debate ...it would have to be an incountryyRVv .. its not a globalcurrencyy
If I had the time or the inclination, I would pull the archives of that newspaper to see when or if they recently started posting these rates OR if they have changed from previous publications. Don't take me the wrong way dontlop, I am a pretty non aggressive kind of gal, just didn't get where you were headed with the standing value of the iqd on forex. It's all good. I have seen enough wtf's to A) Never look at Yahoo Finance
Never think theres ever a free lunch and C) Think outside the box. 
I get the machine gun!
I have a concealed weapons permit does that mean I can bring the baby glock? I mean it does have nice crimson trace laser sights.

My point was that IF it was a "IN COUNTRY rv the >>>>>>>>>0.0009 would not apply to the citizens of Iraq exchanging dollars for dinars. Your point????? Or were you just stating the obvious?

Actually, Almada Newspaper does give that rate, feel free to take a look, and then slice and dice away......Then we hear the proverbial, "If it's not on CBI Website then it doesn't mean anything" or the even better quote "Forex still shows 1166.00". We could wish it away by saying..... the decimal points in the wrong place. I just offer up this theory; I am also definitely not quitting my job before I get a text from Adam BUT, what if.......just what if, the reason it's not on Forex or published by the CBI is because this is really a in country rate. You definitely wouldn't see a in country rate of a nonconvertible currency as the exchange rate on Forex, nor would it be posted as the exchange rate on the CBI website......just saying..... The newspaper website is referenced below, go to the main page scroll all the way to the bottom left copy and paste "Todays exchange rate" into google translator. Also, if you read the EU documents ratified by Iraq last Wednesday (1-17-2013) it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the exchange rate posted in Almada Newspaper may possibly NOT be a mistake. Obviously, not much we can do with that, but it has made me more than curious myself.

Iraq
The EU-Iraq Partnership and Cooperation Agreement marks the first ever contractual relation between the EU and Iraq.
The text of the EU-Iraq Partnership and Cooperation Agreement was signed on 11 May 2012. Its trade provisions entered into force provisionally on 1 August 2012, until ratification procedures for the whole agreement are completed.
Iraq is not yet a member of the WTO. Iraq requested WTO accession in September 2004. The EU supports Iraq's accession to the WTO and believes that a WTO membership will contribute to enhancing structural reform in the country as well as Iraq's reintegration into the multilateral trading system.
http://ec.europa.eu/trade/creating-opportunities/bilateral-relations/countries/iraq/
The EU-Iraq Agreement was ratified Wednesday, January 17, 2013. The document is available on your link under EU Law, sub title Treaties. I believe ascension into WTO is right around the corner.

1. Welcomes the conclusion of the negotiations on the partnership and cooperation agreement between the EU and the Republic of Iraq, which establishes contractual relations between the two parties for the first time; welcomes the establishment by the partnership and cooperation agreement of a Cooperation Council, a Cooperation Committee and a Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and expects such fora to provide fresh impetus for the Union's political involvement in Iraq at the highest level, in the form of regular political talks and the development of economic relations with the Iraqi authorities at the most senior level;
2. Takes the view that the political and commercial provisions of the partnership and cooperation agreement lay the foundations for regular, closer political dialogue on issues of bilateral, regional and global significance, while seeking to improve the arrangements governing trade between Iraq and the EU by lending support to Iraq's development and reform effort, with a view to facilitating that country's integration into the world economy;
3. Supports the process of Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organisation and stresses that the implementation of the partnership and cooperation agreement should make an important contribution to this process;
4. Stresses that the ‘essential element’ clause in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement on countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction calls for the parties to play an active role in nuclear disarmament and to give their full support to the planned UN Conference on a Nuclear-Free Middle East;
5. Welcomes the clause in the partnership and cooperation agreement concerning cooperation between the EU and Iraq in relation to the accession of Iraq to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC); stresses the importance of the EU providing maximum support for Iraq's ratification of and accession to the Rome Statute as soon as possible, and for the implementation of international human rights standards and instruments as a matter of priority; calls on the Member States and on Iraq to ratify the statute changes of the ICC, adopted on 11 June 2010; applauds the clause in the partnership and cooperation agreement on cooperation in the promotion and effective protection of human rights in Iraq, with the caveat that failure by Iraq to protect, enhance and respect human rights would negatively affect cooperation and economic development programmes; stresses the importance of maintaining strict conditionality on the basis of the principle of ‘more for more’ and the need to put greater emphasis on the importance of substantial progress in relation to human rights in Iraq; welcomes the pledge by the Iraqi Government to promote effective dialogue with civil society and promote its effective participation;
6. Emphasises that the political dialogue between the EU and the Iraqi authorities must primarily focus on matters relating to respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, whether civic or individual, with particular reference to the continuing allegations of human rights violations and the protection of the rights of all religious and ethnic minorities, and should further focus on the strengthening of democratic institutions, the rule of law, good governance, transparent decision-making, due process and national reconciliation; urges the Iraqi Government to work for the national reconciliation of an extremely fragmented society;
7. Stresses the need to give absolute priority to political dialogue with the Iraqi authorities on the abolition of the death penalty and support for the fundamental principles of the European Union; calls on the Iraqi Government to abolish the death penalty, as a first step, and to declare and implement immediately a moratorium on executions;
8. Welcomes the establishment by the partnership and cooperation agreement of the Parliamentary Cooperation Committee, which will be a forum for the Iraqi parliament and the European Parliament to meet and exchange views, will be informed of the recommendations of the Cooperation Council and will make recommendations to that Council; supports this important parliamentary dimension and takes the view that such a committee will provide a valuable opportunity for democratic dialogue and the provision of support for democracy in Iraq;
9. Reiterates its commitment to the development of parliamentary democracy and recalls its initiative, under the 2008 budget, of providing support for the establishment of democracy in cooperation with third-country parliaments; reiterates its willingness to support actively the Iraqi Council of Representatives by proposing initiatives aimed at enhancing the ability of elected Iraqi representatives to fulfil their constitutional role and fostering the transfer of experience in the areas of effective administration and staff training;

11. Calls on Iraq to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty as soon as possible;
12. Applauds the opening of an EU Delegation to Iraq in Baghdad and the appointment of an EU Head of Delegation; recalls, however, the need to secure for the EU Delegation its own adequate premises and the necessary human and material resources commensurate with the EU's stated ambition of playing a significant role in Iraq's transition to democracy, and with a view to making the Delegation fully operational; stresses that it is essential to put the Head of Delegation in a position to travel in full security to all parts of the country to monitor the proper implementation of programmes financed by the European Union, the human rights situation and the reform process;
13. Stresses the importance for Iraq's future of the political agreement reached by Iraqi leaders on the establishment of a national unity government which properly represents the political, religious and ethnic diversity of Iraqi society and reflects the will of the Iraqi people as expressed in the general election held on 7 March 2010; calls for the full implementation, without further delay, of that agreement and asks the political forces in Iraq to remain committed, in a spirit of unity of intent, to the process of building strong and sustainable democratic institutions, and to establish the necessary conditions for free and fair elections at both local and international level, which are essential for the process of democratic transition; notes that the implementation of that agreement may be the only viable solution with a view to starting an effective process of national reconciliation; reiterates the importance of appointing permanent ministers to the defence and interior ministries in order to prevent the concentration of power and promote democratic dialogue, oversight, political responsibility and accountability in respect of security-related policy choices;
14. Expresses concern at the growing sectarian tensions and deep lack of trust between the Iraqi Government and the opposition, which, if not remedied, may lead to the resumption of violent conflict; expresses great concern at the potential negative spill-over from the Syrian conflict into Iraq, which could exacerbate sectarian tensions in Iraq, and calls on all players in Iraq to behave responsibly and with restraint in order to avoid such a scenario;

17. Remains deeply concerned, however, at the continuing acts of violence perpetrated against the civilian population, vulnerable groups and all religious communities, including Christian minorities, which instil in the population a deep sense of fear and uncertainty about their future and that of their country; notes that some progress has been made in this area and calls on the Iraqi authorities to continue to improve security and public order and combat terrorism and sectarian violence throughout the country; takes the view that priority should equally be given to establishing a new legal framework which clearly defines the responsibilities and remit of the security forces and facilitates the adequate oversight of security forces, as called for in the Constitution; considers that the Council of Representatives must play an appropriate role in drafting new legislation and exercising democratic scrutiny; calls on the Iraqi authorities to step up their efforts to protect Christian minorities and all vulnerable minorities, to guarantee all Iraqi citizens the right to practise their faith or affirm their identity in freedom and safety, to take more determined measures to combat inter-ethnic and inter-religious violence, to protect the secular population and to do everything in their power to bring the perpetrators to justice, in keeping with the rule of law and international standards; believes that the partnership and cooperation agreement affords an opportunity further to promote reconciliation programmes and inter-religious dialogue aimed at restoring a sense of cohesion and partnership in Iraqi society;
18. Draws attention to the urgent need to resolve the humanitarian problems facing the Iraqi people; emphasises the need to ensure that action coordinated between the Iraqi authorities and the international aid organisations working on the ground is taken with a view to assisting vulnerable groups, including refugees and displaced persons, protecting those groups and creating adequate conditions to ensure their security and dignity;

Notes with concern that, according to the UNHCR, 34 000 Syrian refugees have sought refuge in Iraqi Kurdistan since the start of the war, and calls for assistance for the Iraqi authorities in managing the refugee flow into Iraq, in particular by ensuring that the refugees are accepted into the territory on humanitarian grounds and are directed to refugee camps; also urges the EU to pledge and contribute to assistance for the Government of Iraq in securing humane living conditions in such refugee camps;
20. Calls on the Iraqi authorities, while acknowledging their commitment, to secure the safety of, and humane living conditions for the residents of Camp Ashraf and Camp Hurriya; asks the Member States to honour Article 105(3)(B)/> and (4) of the partnership and cooperation agreement between the EU and Iraq and to do everything possible to facilitate the resettlement or repatriation of the residents of Camp Hurriya on an individual basis, and according to their own free will, so that the issue of their presence on Iraqi territory can finally be settled;
21. Calls for the revision of the Constitution, the Penal Code and the Penal Procedural Code in order to ensure full respect for equality between men and women and for women's rights; reaffirms the key role women can play in re-establishing the fabric of society and stresses the need for their full political participation, including in the development of national strategies, in order to take into account their perspectives;

26. Welcomes the Commission's Joint Strategy Paper (2011-2013), which marks the transition to multiannual programming of EU development cooperation on the basis of consultation with the Iraqi authorities and coordination with the other international players (World Bank, UN) active in Iraq; notes that this new approach is consistent with the main guidelines set out in its recommendation to the Council of 13 March 2008;
27. Applauds the successes achieved by the EUJUST LEX mission and the implementation in Iraq, for the first time, of pilot projects coordinated with the Commission project; urges that on completion of that mission the EU should make use of all the experience gained by drawing on both the ESDP and Union instruments in order to continue to provide assistance on the ground so as to strengthen the Iraqi police and penal system;
28. Reiterates its call for evidence to be provided of the transparency and effectiveness of Union aid to Iraq, in the form of comprehensive, regular and transparent information concerning the actual disbursement of Union aid and the uses to which it is put, in particular as regards the appropriations channelled through the IRFFI, to which the EU is the main donor;
29. Notes that the EU cooperation activities programmed in the area of social and human development seek to combat poverty, to meet basic health, education and employment needs and to promote fundamental freedoms for everyone, including the most vulnerable groups, i.e. refugees, displaced persons and all religious minorities; insists that all these activities must be implemented in such a way as to strengthen capacity and institutions, in keeping with the principles of inclusion, transparency and good governance;

31. Applauds the recent establishment of Iraq's High Commission for Human Rights as an independent institution that can give meaning to the rights guaranteed in Iraq's Constitution and play a central role in the protection of these rights; emphasises the importance of maintaining this institution's independence from political influence and of providing adequate, secure and independent financial support for its operations; stresses the need for regular, transparent and ongoing cooperation by government organs with the Commission's investigations; calls on the Member States to support its development through technical assistance, ongoing dialogue and the sharing of experience in relation to human rights protection efforts;
32. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the President of the European Council, the President of the Commission, the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the presidents of the parliaments of the Member States and the Government and the Council of Representatives of the Republic of Iraq

This past Wednesday, Iraq signed a Ratified Agreement with the EU. I have posted that information and a link to the document itself in this forum. In my opinion, based on the content of the agreement they may not need the IMF to grant another ext.

I have picked up where the caller has asked about extending the length of time on the SBA.
MR.AHMED ~"The second question is you decided today to extend for seven months for Iraq. Is it over two or three years? And what happens if Jordan cannot implement your conditions? It might happen because of the uncertainty in the region about the situation. Could you extend it more than six months for Jordan?"
The answer: : I’m going to turn to Kristina to answer the questions on Jordan. But let me just give you one answer on the general point about the length of the arrangement, whether it’s a question of Iraq as you mention now, or other countries in the future, including Jordan.
When we start a program, we start a program with a certain time period that the government has in mind during which they propose to implement a certain set of measures which they come up with and for which they would like financing from the IMF to help ease the process of transition. In some countries what happens over time is that either because of external reasons or because of domestic policy constraints, it takes longer than anticipated to complete those measures. And in those cases, the IMF is often quite flexible in saying okay, well if it takes a little bit more time, we can adjust the timing of the IMF’s own program to support that, if it’s still a coherent and sustainable effort. And so is the case of Iraq.
The Iraqi authorities asked for an extension to a program which was coming to its end because they felt they needed a little bit more time to complete some of the measures that had been anticipated for the last review. The program has thus and been extended, as you know, for seven months. The SBA is normally a three-year maximum length. But if there was a reason to extend the program by a couple of months, either at the end or at the time of individual reviews when our Board considers progress under the program, then sometimes those reviews also can be moved a little bit if it takes a bit of extra time for governments to complete the necessary measures.
But certainly our expectation is that this is a three-year program that the government has come up with. That’s what they’ve asked for our support for, and at this stage we’re very confident that those measures will be implemented in that time.
Now you have specific questions on Jordan itself, which Kristina will answer. Link below entire transcript.

15-01-2013 | (Voice of Iraq)
Moving the major political blocs to agree on the state budget for 2013 current, although "battles fracture" between them, he stressed Maliki's coalition, which "disrupts" the Council of Representatives because of his opposition to many of the laws posed by his opponents, his determination to pass, while supported Iraqi conditioned not be tied to any other project, saw the Kurdistan Alliance, the need to expedite their approval without prejudice to the 17 percent own.
