REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Pimpy I read this book [Quest For Good Money]...I kept playing with the numbers, reading my ass off... This is the formula they use [to determine the exchange rate]... The person that wrote the book said if they can get their inflation down, at it is down,...and they can catch up to their dinar price parity ...it should be at the pre-war rate...which is over $3.00. So I did the formula based on all the information they gave me, it came out to $3.56...I said wow, that's going to be phenomenal ...that is worth getting excited about ...The study does tell you that there's no reason Iraq can't be the most valuable currency out there... The question is always going to be whether they re-denominate or not. It sounds like Pimpy has had his eyes opened a bit by this book. Sandy Ingram In Zimbabwe, the new currency, Zimbabwe Gold (ZIG) will be circulated alongside foreign currencies. Banks have to convert their current Zimbabwean dollar balances into the new Ziggy currency which will go into effect immediately. People have 21 days to exchange their old notes and coins for new ones. It is expected the new currency will have a profound impact on inflation... The new currency is anchored by a composite basket of foreign currency and precious metals, mainly gold... The ZIG has denominations between 1 and 200. Militia Man Bottom line is Iraq has about $16 to $17 trillion worth of product in the ground (Plus Natural Gas) that they know of and they're going to go after it... Clare Article "Disclosure of Iraq's creditors internally and externally" Quote "On April 8, the Iraqi government announced a reduction in external public debt by more than 50%, bringing the debt down from $19.729 billion late. in 2022, to $15.976 billion in 2023, reaching approximately $8.9 billion in the current year." Paulette IMO, UN resolution 1483 will have to be lifted to allow Iraq to be totally sovereign as it established the US and UK as "occupying forces"...This is in essence "Guardianship" or "Receivership"...Absent the lifting, the US has to give Iraq permission to do most anything Internationally including "currency reinstatement" ...I am hopeful that internal control of the money structure is exclusively in the hands of the CBI so they can at least move to the RD/RV stage of their monetary reform... If not, the upcoming US visit of Sudani may very well be pivotal... Saleh recently stated he was unsure of the status of 1483 according to news articles...

RON Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ ANNOUNCES THAT IT IS CLOSE TO PRODUCING 5 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY" ...they are announcing that it is close to 5 million barrels per day. Oh… but the dinar is still at 1/6 of a penny? It is like they are ignoring the oil assets already on hand in determining the rate of the dinar. Even before the 1991 invasion they were producing 2.5 million barrels per day and the dinar was around $3.22. Now they are producing twice as much oil. So what’s going on here? ...The US is playing a game with Iraq and the IQD and most importantly... It’s people are suffering from it the most. War sanctions are over, and its time to give them back their currency along with their dignity. Clare Article "Two Iraqi fintechs listed in Forbes’ Top 50 Fintechs in the Middle East" Quote "Iraq Wallet (ZainCash Iraq) and NEO Pay Iraq, have secured coveted spots among Forbes’ Top 50 Fintech Companies in the Middle East, demonstrating evidence of the financial technology sector in Iraq’s rapidly developing creativity. Iraq Wallet (ZainCash Iraq) came in at number 6 in the region, while NEO Pay Iraq came in at number 35 in the Middle East." Pimpy Question "Do you think Iraq's government is sovereign?" To some degree yeah, but no. If that were the case Iraq wouldn't have to keep sending their budget over to us to get it approved. They would stand on their own feet. And that's what they are about to do, Pimpy..! Frank26 Q? : Do you think the world is interested in the monetary reform? No, you are. You are such a small populous. The amount of people that have dinars as an investment is minuscule. The CBI doesn't care about you having dinars. They care about countries that have dinars in their reserves. You're talking billions. That's serious money... It's not the contracts, businesses, companies that are excited about the monetary reform like you are. No, they're excited about the economic reform because that's where they're going to make money. If the economic reform is not successful they know they're screwed. Militia Man Article Quote: "Al Sudani uttered a very important phrase, 'keep the dinar...I bear witness that the Iraqi dinar will return to its lofty economic value as it was'..."' Lofty economic value is not 1310. It's not 1159. It's not 1182 or 1160 or any of those number. It's back to previous era like they said. They shut this thing down at...$3.22...The true value from the IMF... estimates were about $2.80. Those are their words not mine and in print... They can support it... Remember, Iraq was at $35 a barrel of oil. It's $85 right now. Then add in all the extra revenue streams that we know of... They're massive and they're just going to keep growing. And NOW, for some of Mark's ... ...! MarkZ Question: Where will redemption centers be? (A very dumb sheep question..!) Mark: I have been told this over and over that the majority of the US - 90% of us will have a RC within 50 miles of where we live. The only people who may have a longer drive are those in rural areas…low populations like the Dakotas and Wyo…They will not release exact locations before the event starts for security.

RON Frank26 The reason why Sudani is going to Washington is about the monetary reform. End of story. Militia Man Article: "Dinar and dollar" This piece was from March 4th, 2024 and is redone again fresh today. By stating they are going to overthrow the dollar very soon will be making it hard for the citizens to want to let their dinar go. Al-Sudani stated as we noted before to keep the dinar, as it will return to its lofty economic value, as it was before. From, what we know, there is a lot of issues on the table that are exchange rate oriented. This is a good sign.. imo. They are not letting the idea or the expectations of increased value to the dinar go away.

RON Fnu Lnu Iraq is worth far more than 16 trillion dollars and there is far less than 80 trillion in circulation... To espouse such inciting commentary [against this]... negates everything Dr. Shabibi has stated and everything the CBI and GOI have stated.

Pimpy There seems to still be some confusion about the official exchange rate versus the real effective exchange rate... comments like "When they get to the real effective exchange rate" or When they switch to the real effective exchange rate." Or "When they use the real effective exchange rate"...This is confusing...what a real effective exchange rate is...An official exchange rate is at which country's currency can be exchanged for another country's' currency...Real Effective Exchange Rate is a broader measure that takes into account not just one bilateral exchange rate but a weighted average of a country's currency against the basket of it's major trading partners...Iraq already reports the effective exchange rate...It's already there...you don't have to wait for the real effective exchange rate to come popping up, it's already being used... Militia Man We're watching Iraq go international. It's an interesting study. It's fascinating... Iraq is coming up... Iraq is moving in the a direction to go international and it's phenomenal.

Saturday Early Afternoon Opinions @ 2:05 PM MDT - 4/06/2024
ronscarpa posted a topic in Dinar Rumors
REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ Question: Is this weekend still in play? Mark: I do not think this weekend is in play. But many others believe this weekend is still in play. Most of what I am hearing is they expect most of the historic bonds to start between the 15th-22nd. Then Currency exchanges following directly on its heels. But, none of us know the timing. They cloud it on purpose. Sandy Ingram Deleting the zeros will not change the currency's value, at least it has not changed the currency's value for any other country that has deleted the zeros. [We] could not find information on the Central Bank of Iraq's website or any other reliable Iraqi news blog on deleting the zeros the past 24 months. Pimpy Article: "Iraqi economy faces threat as US closes oil revenue account" This latest move by the United States is something I'd be a little concerned about...Why the hell would you do that...? Maybe Biden is going to tell Iraq, 'You don't need these accounts no more. We're going to go ahead and turn everything over to you. All this is now in your control.' Which would be good for Iraq...It would be a big move on the United States part to go ahead and turn over all of that money to Iraq... Frank26 I believe [Sudani] will see the president with authority, with confidence, with power in their reforms. I believe he will see him exactly the way the IMF, World Bank, BIS, United States Treasury has described the monetary reform... MarkZ Comment: Ramadan ends April 9th or 10th…then 3 days of Eid El Fitr…where they like to give each other gifts…. It would make sense for Sudani to give it to the people of Iraq before Eid El Fitr. Mark: That would make sense...that is the celebration at the end of Ramadan. It would make a lot of sense for Sudani to release it about then. I forgot to hit send @ 2:05, and it's now 3:10 ... a dumb move - RON -

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq clarifies the mechanism for depositing oil revenues abroad" DFI was part of something called Executive order 13303. President Bush signed executive order 13303...Clinton... Trump...Biden...resigned it. Guess what, executive order 13303...has not been resigned... Pimpy ...If the Iraqi dinar is re-denominated, that's when they LOP off the zeros, delete the zeros, reduce the zeros, remove the zeros, call it whatever you want, they're all the same thing...Re-denomination of a currency involves changing the face value of the currency by dropping zeros from the existing notes and issuing new currency at a lower nominal value...The nominal value of the 25,000 is 25,000 single dinars on one note. If we do a re-denomination and we remove the zeros off the currency, then they have to make whole new...smaller denominations...most likely going to have 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dinar...So instead of having 25,000 written across the bill it's only going to be 25...If Iraq increases the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar...this is different. A re-denomiation will have a slight effect, if at all, verses changing the exchange rate, increases currency value...increases the purchasing power for Iraqis... Mnt Goat ...we read in the articles today that the post-war DFI fund and its process is also no longer in effect. WOW! This means that oil revenues no longer have to be placed under US Treasury accounts in NYC...These remaining dollars will now be transported from the Federal Reserve Bank in NYC to the Baghdad, Iraq CBI...Yet more signs of full sovereignty not just on paper but tangible evidence we can see by events. The sovereignty of their currency is also coming and on the near horizon... WOW! WOW! WOW! We have waited so long to hear this good news.

RON Frank26 Sudani said to his citizens, Quote: ''Before the end of Ramadan, before the start of EID it is my desire to make a major announcement.' Ramadan comes to an end on the 8th of April. On the 9th EID starts." From the 9th to the 11th we have an amazing window to study and to see what happens with our investment because on the 15th Sudani will go to Washington DC to see the president of the Untied States. Militia Man Raising the value of your currency is going to help make it easier for sustainable development and deducing the phenomenon of cash. In other words if you have a 1 to 1 ratio you have a significant reduction in cash do you not? I think you do. If it was at a previous era, for instance...$2.80, $3.22..wouldn't that be a phenomenon of less cash in the economy? Of course it would. MarkZ Question: Mark do you think this will happen before 2025? Mark: Yes I do…I don’t think we will get anywhere close to 2025 before it happens. But, nobody knows the exact timing.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Sandy Ingram In a startling development the United States has closed the account through which Iraq collects revenue form its oil sales...the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI). The DFI...served as a lifeline for Iraq to collect and manage its oil revenues. Iraq maintained this account with the US Federal Reserve Bank allowing it to receive oil revenues in dollars and use them to cover essential expenses in accordance with agreements with the United States...With the closure of the DFI account, Iraq's oil revenue is being directed to a new account, cryptically referred to as IraqQ2... Frank26 The contracts IMO they are renegotiating the exchange rate for the contracts. The issue is not whether to come out with a new exchange rate but which exchange rate to come out with... Pimpy Article: "The Minister of Finance and the World Bank are discussing support for the economic and financial reform program" Usually in the past I would say yeah, that all sounds good but we'll believe it when we see it. But now when you read this kind of news it's hard not to get a little excited because al-Sudani is doing a pretty good job considering his own political party is not working with him but against him. Militia Man Article: "The United States has closed the account through with the Iraq collects revenue from its oil sales" The DFI fund was closed on March 18th...Big change. We have not seen this before. Is it a smoking gun? ...If they were going to stop an account that had protection for all their oil money and they just now relinquished a couple weeks ago I think that's pretty big...They must have felt comfortable in a sense they could handle recourse on that debt...I'll tell you this, if they change the value from 1310 to a previous era, it'll become a lot cheaper to pay off their debts... MarkZ Question: Did Iraq get their bank accounts and money back from the US? Mark: YES. This is huge. This is enormous. Iraqs money for oil sales is no longer going through the United States. I was told this is what Iraq has been waiting on before they forced things to fruition...The closed DFI account is huge…And one of the things I was consistently told from government contacts in Iraq is how hard it has been for them with oil revenues going through the US. This has enormous repercussions for Iraq and their economic sovereignty. This is an important key piece that we just saw occur...Now we need the announcement on the HCL front, which I believe has already happened- we just need the announcement. Clare Article: "Iraqi economy faces threat as US closes oil revenue account" Quote "...with the closure of the DFI [Development Fund for Iraq] account, Iraq's oil revenue is now being directed to a new account, referred to as IRAQ2. This transition raises concerns...banking specialist Kamaran Qadir Yaqub...warns the protection previously afforded to Iraq's revenue may no longer be guaranteed." Mnt Goat In today’s news articles we learn about the expiration of the extension of the US President’s Executive Order 13303 put in place in 2003. So, there is no extension this year...Why is this so important to us investors? First, the expiration of 13303 shows to us once again that Iraq is slowly moving out of the sanctioned mindset altogether. But now we moved to a new level. We know that in December of 2022, Iraq completed its war reparations payments to Kuwait and thus followed that all the remaining UN sanctions were lifted. [Post 1 of 2] Mnt Goat What happened next was the VERY quick response by the CBI to begin the de-dollarization process in Iraq in 2023. Then the unanticipated length of resolving the issue of the stability with the parallel market which delayed the process we are now looking for. Last week they told us the parallel market is now under control...I verified this with my CBI contact...Many investors have been waiting for this news...and tell us that this is a VERY GOOD sign for us in that since we no longer will be needing this protection, since maybe the dinar is soon to be free to move into its full potential as a sovereign, global currency...Remember it is normally renewed on April 1st and so what is in stored for us in April? Just saying. [Post 2 0f 2]

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 Many things are waiting for the new exchange rate. I sincerely believe that the very first domino that allows everything else that is waiting for the new exchange rate is the budget that allows everything to live and function. MarkZ Comment: [Remember Sudani is coming to the US on April 15th. I believe it will be a post RV victory lap.] Mark: A lot of my contacts believe that as well. Some contacts think tomorrow may be the day. We will see. It’s not coming from enough sources to put a lot of stock in it though. Pimpy Did we hear this rumor correctly? Did Iraq find a replacement for oil? ...It's been under their feet the whole time...What do you suppose that would do for their economy especially if it allows them to get away from relying so much on oil. It could be very very exciting... Article: "One more country ahead of us in the race for the 'most renewable fuel': this is a developing one and will replace oil" It looks like Iraq is going to start doing what they can to get away form oil and start producing green hydrogen... Yes, indeedy things still looking good for Iraq. Let's hope they stay on the straight and narrow and everything goes their way and we can see the Iraqi people have a prosperous life. Militia Man When Iraq adjusts their exchange rate...all boats rise with the tide. All those boats that own Iraqi dinar are going to rise. The United States is going to be part of that process with the Development Road project. See how cheap it's going to be to build that country by raising the value because they have a real effective exchange rate? You can see where the deals are going to be made. It's going to be phenomenal. Walkingstick There's nothing like the facts. Everything they're telling the Iraqi citizens is a fact, because it's coming from the right sources. MarkZ Member: I heard Iraq is going to do what Kuwait did and allow their people to party a few days before they release rate to the world? MarkZ: Kuwait managed to keep their RV a secret for 10 days before the world found out. With today’s internet they would have a difficult time burying it for very long. I don’t think they would get more than a day or two at most. Clare Article: "Iraq’s banking system grows 15.1% in 2023 to $156.7 billion"

It would logically follow that a revaluation would be likely before next month's USA confab. Pimpy Community Request: "Please tell us about the smaller notes, 500s, 250 and 50s. Will they be a throwaway? What is the good and bad of them?" If they do a re-denomination there won't be a need for a 500 or 250 note...They're going to create the notes like the ones we have. You will see a 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 denomination...They don't lose the purchasing power. The 10 has the same purchasing power as a 10,000. The 5 has the same purchasing power as a 5,000. The one has the same purchasing power as the 1,000... That's so, only if we believe your understanding of what they intend to do. Which, of course, none of us believe it. Besides, The notes are already printed. Militia Man With the Central Bank taking measures to stop the exchange rate rise in the parallel market showed they attained a gradual decline in the exchange rate due to merchants gravitated to the new platform in significant numbers whereby the parallel market decreased to a mere $25 million a day compared to over $200+ million with the legitimate system. They say that decline will continue. Likely to disappear, imo.

Federal Oil and Gas council... Nowhere in the hydrocarbon law...does it say anywhere in there about disbursement to the Iraqi people...I haven't been able to find anything in which the Iraqi citizens are able to benefit from the hydrocarbon law. They're not getting payment whatsoever... Militia Man Article Quote: "Minister of Finance ...will launch funding for the government tomorrow Sunday...explained the value of salaries amounts to 69 trillion dinars." 69 trillion is over half what they've ever printed. It doesn't make any sense. How do you have a 228 trillion budget when you don't ever have that much money? Frank26 The CBI announcement - We believe it's about the currency. We believe it's about the auctions. We believe it's about a change in the auctions, a metamorphosis of the auctions which is exactly what the US Treasury wanted in order to have security and stability in the bank, which was exactly what was needed in order to bring forth a new exchange rate for their currency.

[Post 2 of 2] Pimpy It really looks good for the future of Iraq. Outside of the corruption that's in the government. If they can stay on the path, Al-Sudani gets a clear path to continue, the future for Iraq's economy looks really good.

Because once you guys go public and private and you adjust your real effective exchange rate the parallel market goes bye-bye...and the dollar's pricing is going to go down, the dinar is going to get stronger. Exactly what Sudani said...

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ Question: Do we have the green light yet Mark? I think we have the green light. I am looking forward to what the next few days bring. Pimpy When they re-denominate all currencies are going to have a new look. Most likely what you're going to see is the same thing you see here in the United States. We have a $100... $50...$20... $10...$5... and $1 bill. Most likely that's what you're going to see in the dinars... Militia Man Article Quote: "Advisor to the Prime Minister al-Sudani...the global economic community estimates as a stock capital at prevailing price today, Iraq's worth about $16 to $17 trillion U.S. dollar" It's a lot...Instead of having people come in and mine it, take it away and produce and sell it, Iraq's going to mine it, produce it and sell it. They're going to get both sides of the equation...That raises the income stream for Iraq... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The foreign minister already in USA is a prelude to Sudani grand stand that's coming April 1st, our new fiscal year. FRANK: So much is now pointing for your 1st quarter. April the 1st or maybe the first week of April especially with Sudani going to see the President of the United States in Washington DC on the 15th of April. It seems to me he's going to go see the president with a new exchange rate under his belt...not the weak leadership of a program rate.- 10 replies

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Militia Man Article quote: "...in addition to the possibility of achieving a significant increase in its Financial incomes that would raise the purchasing power of the Iraqi individual..." To me that's massive because...they're talking about raising the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar. How do you raise the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar without changing the exchange rate? Obviously...they can't. MarkZ COMMENT: Sudani is supposed to be in the US on April 15th. MARK: Personally I think Sudani may be here for a “victory lap” after we have already started doing out exchange. Kaperoni Iraq only has a net worth of about $16 trillion dollars including all minerals and oil in the ground. With over 80 trillion dinar in circulation they could never significantly RV the Iraqi dinar...We shall see soon enough Kaperoni..!

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ Bank story: One of our members had a friend go to a bank in N. Carolina yesterday. They had a conversation with a branch manager. They talked about an hour on life, currencies, expectations etc. The Bank manager said they are absolutely prepared for this. He said he knew a lot of banks were avoiding it but they were preparing for it. He said “We don’t know the timing but it could be at any moment” So they were having a very long conversation with a banker that was clued in, plugged in and prepared...Somehow, I just don't believe this story... LOL..! Mnt Goat Article: "BIDEN TO HOST IRAQI PRIME MINISTER ON APRIL 15: WHITE HOUSE" ...could this visit to Washington talk about the currency reform and getting support for it? Certainly it may and probably will...President Biden is scheduled to meet with the Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani...and dedicate several days to Iraq and the situation in it, a clear signal of respect for the Prime Minister and Iraq’s political and international standing. Talks I am sure will be mostly about the Status of Forces Agreement.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 IMO the United States of America has been paid in full...mission accomplished...IMO Iraq and the United States have come to an agreement on many files and the one important file was the sanctions on the banks that needed to be lifted...There is a lot happening. It is complex. It is tedious. It's all concerning the monetary reform. Pimpy Surprise! I literally just a couple months ago was looking up the steps Iraq has to take in order to get back on the Swift system and it listed everything saying they were in the process. That's all it said. Apparently they are beyond the process and they've been through the process since the end of 2022 beginning of 2023. Great, that's another big accomplishment for Iraq. We need to make sure restrictions under the currency are lifted. We need for them to get into the World Trade Organization and we need to see them on the Forex. Those things have got to be coming soon. This is exciting new for Iraq... MarkZ ...Bank Story...One of our members went into a Wells Fargo and spoke to a manger. She asked if all the recent redecorating was because they were going to be a redemption center. The manager said “As a matter of fact –yes.” Then went on to say that they have to wait for a notifications to start... I thought this was positive as we so rarely get a positive story from WF. Militia Man Article: "Fouad Hussein: America avoids talking about sanctions against Iraqi banks" The banks that were sanctioned were likely ones that may have had connections to the crime of the century. Those arrest warrants for many in the previous government are fresh in the news. Regardless the US Treasury has more important things to talk about. They are talking reforming the banks and financial issues above and beyond energy!! Things are coming along very well. They are setting the stage in the USA and the UK, while informing us all along the way.. I so very like today's news.. It is amazing. Walkingstick The citizens of Iraq are not exchanging for the float. They're exchanging for purchasing power. That's all the Iraqi citizens get. They only get purchasing power of their currency which is everything to them. Sandy Ingram A pivotal moment looms on the horizon with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani slated to visit Washington DC on April 15, 2024. President Biden is set to host this crucial meeting...It's not all about military...the meeting is also expected to tour upon Iraqi financial reforms...This is the reason this meeting is important for Iraqi dinar investors. The US...undoubtedly has a vested interest in the successful implementation of these reforms. Frank26 ll the contracts that Al-Sudani signed around the world are now being recalculated and being converted into dinars...That takes guts to do that. Normally a country would simply walk away and say forget you, up yours. But right now Sudani has so much power, he is in so much control that the world will bow to any of his demands concerning the economic reform of Iraq all because the monetary reform was successful and proven to them. They all want a piece of Iraq, at whatever cost. Fnu Lnu The Dinar Mythology surrounding this EO is amazing...It says exactly NOTHING about buying Dinar. Executive Order 13303 was issued on May 22, 2003, by United States President George W. Bush to protect the Development Fund for Iraq for the rebuilding of Iraq... Executive Order 13303 also terminates sanctions specified in EO 12722, EO 12724, EO 13290, as it applies to the development fund. In effect, EO 13303 provides an extraordinarily broad legal shield for any and all contractors and mercenaries working in Iraq on behalf of US corporations in any oil related enterprise. The Executive Order also declares a national emergency to deal with the threat to a peaceful reconstruction of Iraq, which US Presidents have renewed every year since, most recently in May 2023. MarkZ There are some meetings with Iraqi ministers in DC and some at the UN in New York. We will not see Sudani until April 15th…but no part of me thinks they would pull the trigger with him not in his own country. Comment: IMO Sudani isn’t coming here on 4/15 to raise rates after he leaves…i think he is taking a victory lap because it will RV before he comes. Mark: That is what I think is going to happen. My gut is screaming somewhere between now and next Wednesday based on what I am hearing...but nobody knows the exact timing. I certainly am feeling good about it.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ We may see it by Easter…The news is so good...We have a delegation of Iraqi foreign ministers in DC right now. At this point we expect them to announce “lifted sanctions” by the middle of the week. My source is on the DC beltway. When sanctions are lifted it should be “GO” time. Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ IS NINTH IN THE WORLD IN NATURAL RESOURCE RESERVES.." Quote: "Iraq was ranked among the top ten countries possessing the most valuable natural resource reserves, in terms of total estimated value for the past 3 years." OK, so if this is part of the Basel IV currency valuation algorithm then where is it reflected in the rate of the dinar? Why is it still 1/6 of a penny? Folks is just doesn’t make any sense. The IMF and the US Treasury are artificially suppressing the rate of the dinar. Remember VALUE and RATE are two different items and the value should be reflected honestly in the rate. -
REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ There is some fun stuff coming from sources over the weekend. Bond contacts really lit up overnight/and over the weekend. One of my contacts that “lit up” after going quiet said they very much expect things by mid-week this week...People who have not been excited for quite awhile are now excited...I am also hearing similar things from my banking side...I understand that the whole process should only be a week long and that the very first things we should see is bond folks getting dollars...We...are supposed to go immediately following bonds. Clare Article: "Government spokesman: The Prime Minister will discuss 5 basic files during his visit to Washington" Quote: "among the files that will be discussed during the visit also are the financial file and what is related to the decisions of the US Treasury, the influence of Iraqi banks and the debts owed by Iraq," Militia Man Their new accession law seems to be gaining traction with Iraq having accession to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development and the FEMOZA World Federation of Free Economic Zones. The WTO is likely next in line for Iraq's integration with the international world.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Clare Article: "From Tuesday until Saturday.. Iraq announces the Eid al-Fitr holiday" Quote: "The Iraqi government announced the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which extends from the ninth of next April until the 13th... official working hours will resume in all government institutions, On Sunday, April 14, 2024." MarkZ Article Quote: “Customers at the Central Bank of Iraq, which says many foreign trade transactions now go through its electronic platform” This tells me that some of the Iraqi sanctions may have been lifted as we speak. The key is when will we see the rate? I don’t know what to expect yet on that front. There is a lot of positive chatter that it could be imminent. I might actually purchase some champagne. Paulette Comment: "Biden has nothing to do with this but the feet dragging in Iraq has become the constant..." The "Biden Regime" has everything to do with this...Just look at the currency sales numbers and you should see why the "Biden Regime" does not want change. You still have the Coalition Provisional Authority functioning in Iraq led by the US...We know from articles last fall that US Receivership is still in place and UN1483 status is unknown...Saleh recently even stated in an interview that even he did not know the status of 1483...not to mention the OFAC sanctions...Yes...the "Biden Regime" has everything to do with this... Frank26 IMO all auctions have stopped in their current form... Wrong Again Frankie...they continue the same as always. Sandy Ingram There has been no new news from reputable sources on deleting the zeros from the Iraqi dinar currency in recent weeks or months by either the CBI or parliament...The end result of removing the zeros is to make money more manageable. It will not change the currency's value in relation to the U.S. dollar.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 Don't despair if you're having trouble at banks...IMO just go to a bank that exchanges foreign currency. We're using Chase as one example. There's others. Go to that bank and simply open a savings or checking account. If they ask you why do you want to open this checking or savings account tell them because, 'I have money...I want to put into the account.' Once you have your account open, go home and just sit there and wait until it happens...When the blessing occurs go back to that bank and tell them, can I talk to your Wealth Manage Department? They'll send you to the back, away from the bank and they will take care of you... Pimpy People always say, Oh, you know, President Bush said the Iraqi dinar will pay for the war itself. No, what he said was Iraq would pay for the war itself, not the Iraqi dinar. (True...But they would use the IQD..! Remember all the Coalition countries got IQD as collateral.) They're talking about the oil. It wasn't even Bush that said that...Not so sure about this statement; however, Bush would tell GI's he visited in the hospital to get some IQD - a fact... MarkZ We may see it by Easter…The news is so good...We have a delegation of Iraqi foreign ministers in DC right now. At this point we expect them to announce “lifted sanctions” by the middle of the week. My source is on the DC beltway. When sanctions are lifted it should be “GO” time. Militia Man The private sector is going to be the fuel to what they consider is the most important project in the world (Development Road project). Their words not mine. Article quote: "The initial designs for the Development Road Project have reached advanced stages... The development road is a vital project, one of the most important projects in the world..." Paulette While Iraq appears to be on the way to a full RI, I believe there will be an interim step very soon. If they make the move I anticipate the MCP will be quickly eliminated and they can proceed to a full RI. A RI is full Article 8 compliance and a return to the rate that reflects the True Value. In 2009, the MOP/MOF stated move to 1.14-1.17USD/IQD and monitor for inflation up to 3 years and then move the rate to reflect the True Value of 3.208USD/IQD. This was the plan of Dr. Shabibi, and it appears they are back on track following that plan.
