You're better off better off to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

They give you more money than the dinar cost? Why? They're gonna lose money just to make people make money? I don't think so. *** Militiaman ...Cat is out of the bag.. It has been now for about two weeks...They gift the Bank of England what looks to be like the NSCNs...This presentation is an epic one. It shows...the world that Iraq is ready to open for business....The sovereignty of a country is proclaimed by this action. We now watch the roll out to the international markets.

IMO this was due to the combination of Kazemi and Mustafa to keep the security of the new small category notes sealed and tight...the last thing the CBI needs is counterfeit...

[Post 1 of 2....stay tuned] *** Breitling Their markets can expand if they expand to China...Guess what Iraq wants to do? They will want China to trade in their own currency and so they have to have the currency up and going to be able to do that. That's the kind of stuff they're looking at.

Ask yourself what can protect the citizens? Purchasing Power? That comes from what? The HCL/Oil & Gas. Guess what was brought up earlier this week by Al-Sadr during the session that was adjourned? Citizen Entitlements. *** Pimpy Article: "The Kurds: Yes, to the Al-Kazemi government" Love this article...they are going to go ahead and make a push for a vote of confidence for Al-Kazemi to continue. I like the idea and I hope it passes.

With Iraq’s low extraction costs, they are raking in the bucks. This means a 2 million barrel supertanker holds about $240,000,000 worth of oil. Nice pocket change. Iraq exports 4.6 million barrels per day, or 2.3 supertankers worth per day, for a daily take of about $550 million per day. A pretty nice haul, at an extraction cost of about 3%. Plenty of profit to go around.

They have the reserves and in my view it is well over 90 billion they have suggested which is far more than needed to expose the new exchange rate. The Food Security Law and 2022 Budget Law are synonymous, and yes, they both need the rate just as the Oil and Gas Law.. *** Walkingstick [via Frank26] Meetings that occurred on last Wednesday and Thursday...there was talk about the new small category notes...the showing of it. They were talking about the denominations. So far we've always thought that there was going to be 7 new denominations...we only know of 6 denominations of the new small category notes. IMO there was no need to elaborate on the new small category notes at this meeting...they already had agreements on the new small category notes... *** Mnt Goat WOW! The news is not what we expected by now. It has been 7 months already since the elections were held. These politicians just can not agree on how this new Iraqi government will be formed. But we must ask our selves why...It is because Al-Sadr is stepping up his game... We know that he attempting to change the process to a “government by majority” and not a simple “quota system”... Iraq could never be a free and sovereign nation with this old, corrupt system of elections. It must be changed over...

Okay so now we have it in writing from Kurdistan in that the Federal Oil and Gas Law is still ink on paper and has not been legislated...The Kurds will use this issue to get what they want out of forming the new government.

There are 3 zeros on the currency. What are you going to take a pair of scissors and cut them off and you have a 25 note? The 3 zeros they're talking about are on the exchange rate.

Not only have they the pressure from the UN, the IMF, the UST, the World Bank, even the CBI supports they are moving faster than months out...imo. *** Mark [Nader said...that the dinar rate was only going to be 1 to 1.] He said that rate made sense to him…he also said that all the areas around Iraq, even those that do not have the same wealth have rates up to the $3’s…but that 1 to 1 made the most sense, and then let it float. I agree with him…that does make sense if Iraq goes without the rest of the world with the NEER (Nominal Effective Exchange Rate) rate…but we did see with government documentation that they want the NEER at about $1.60 and then let it float...IF they go solo. If they go with the Global Currency reset they can justify a considerably higher rate. So the rate will depend on whether Iraq goes solo or if they go with the rest of the world. *** JERRY_1971 [Response to Godlover Post Saturday Morning] THE FSL IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE BUDGET 2022, SINCE ITS TAKING TIME TO PASS THE NEW BUDGET 2022 DUE TO LACK OF SEATED GOV'T. TILL THEN THEY CANT WAIT AND NEED TO PASS THE FSL IN ORDER TO GIVE RELIEF TO THE POOR CITIZENS. EVEN LOOK AT TODAY'S ARTICLE:...THE PM ADVISOR SALEH IS CONFIRMING THAT THEY NEED TO LEGISLATE EITHER OF ONE OF THE TWO THE FSL OR THE BUDGET IN ORDER TO DISBURSE OF THE ABUNDANCE OF WEALTH THEY HAVE IN THEIR TREASURY TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ. PM KAZEMI IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THIS AND WANTS ALL THE BEST FOR ITS CITIZENS. GL, I HOPE IN YOUR OPINION YOU MAY BE WRONG THIS TIME - AT LEAST IT WILL BENEFIT THE CITIZENS OF IRAQ AND WE DINARIANS...

NOT ONLY ARE THE CITIZENS EXCITED ABOUT A COMING NEW EXCHANGE RATE BUT THEY ALSO KNOW THEY WILL HAVE AN INCREASE TO THEIR INCOME THROUGH THE HCL AND NOW THE CITIZENS ARE REALIZING... THAT MORE PURCHASING POWER IS COMING THROUGH THEIR GOVERNMENT VIA CBI/AUCTIONS. *** Godlover Article: "Parliamentary agreement to complete the draft food security law" The FSL is a "filler" with a mini budget per articles, for them to get by until the general budget is approved & opened. This of course needs a new government or for the current government to be granted full authority. The FSL is not a substitute for the general budget, assuming they ever pass the general budget, then it would be a substitute by default. Certainly the FSL will not have what we all seek.

No. The other one is you have to have a safe and stable country. Does Iraq have a safe and stable country? Well they're launching missiles - I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no they don't.

You have to have a country outside investors feel comfortable and safe about investing into. *** Mnt Goat ...in 2011 the plan was laid out in an article by the CBI. So far they have stuck to this plan. We have seen all the necessary banking reforms, the completion of payment of war debt to Kuwait and all the necessary ties into the international investment arena so that the dinar could be used internationally. Why would they bother to do all this if they were not going to reinstate the dinar and trade the dinar internationally? ...This reinstatement is coming as there is just too many past events that paved the way to it already to doubt...This is the perfect time for the reinstatement of the dinar. *** Sandy Ingram Community Comment: "Oil has nothing to do with Iraq's revalue, float or whatever they're going to do." ..This could not be further from the truth...a county's finances has everything to do with the foreign exchange rate thus we talk about Iraq's huge oil revenue and how they are adding to their streams of income.
