  1.   Saleh mentioned a new mechanism to evaluate the economic viability of a country , and that is based on raw natural resources . Iraq ranks 9th in the world ,behind other huge countries . Bear in mind that Iraq has a population of approximately  42,000,000 ,that's all. The weird part is every Iraqi should be a millionaire . Iraq also has the largest supply of Sulphur in the world , let alone sweet crude  and gold . Iraq is also strategically located ,and plans for linking Europe and and the Far east overland is a huge undertaking that will happen , and has been likened to the Suez Canal . Don't let the nay sayers kill your buzz and shine on , you crazy diamonds .

  2.    The rv has  not happened unless it's on forex . Intrinsically , currency rate is meant to be fluid , not written in blood and stone . The iqd rate on forex has been weirdly steady ,not changing by more than 1/10th of a penny and most days not even that  for months now . So while the parallel ,black market ,published rate ,etc are doing unexplainable maneuvers , forex is holding super super steady.

         Considering that less than 6 years ago , Iraq was 2/3 's  under Isis control , and after surviving Obama's decision to pull out of Iraq prematurely to fulfil a campaign promise which led to this . Prior to Saddam , the Iraqi Bill of Rights for it's citizens included more rights that we have here . I have dealt bigtime with Iraqis , they are smart , good work ethics , and they are super super loyal to their families , to a fault .

  4. The USA is still holding Iraq gold  . No mention is ever made about the 5 US semis that it took to clear out all the Iraqi gold ,which we did immediately after  Saddam's statue was toppled . There is no clear evidence as to what happened to that gold , buried on some super secret location ,and not at Fort Knox . Allegedly , these funds were to go to the DFI , the Development Fund of Iraq  . What part of that is war booty ? While it is understandable that US sanctions of Iran included them not using USD for any transactions , it looks like we shot ourselves in the foot over that one . No worries , you crazy diamonds , our patience and belief will pay off .

  5. An exchange rate is one of the most important factors in determining a country's economic health and also has a huge effect on imports and exports . In any household budget , one needs to  determine what's  coming in , or why have a budget at all ,just spend like crazy until you're dead broke.  It's very unusual that the IQD is not pegged to any currency , the CBI being responsible for this move . Their balance sheet has increased so significantly that long term losses greatly outweigh short term losses , so the CBI abandoned the peg. Without being pegged to the USD , Iraq has much stronger control over their own currency. Most Middle East countries are pegged to the dollar . It could be that the IQD , being depegged , is set to mimic another currency , Kuwait comes to mind .
