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 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV is showing new audit report showing Iraq as the best new investment for the year 2024. FRANK: I'm sorry... How in the world is this kind of statement even possible for you to make? You're at a program rate. Ain't no way in the world Iraq is the best investment for anybody in the year 2024 unless you're trying to tell us that you changed the exchange rate, which is what you're doing ever day to the whole world... Pimpy [In a LOP] The only thing that changes is the bank notes themselves... You're not changing the value of the currency. A 25,000 dinar is going to have value as a 25 dinar. They're just going to lop the zeros off. Debt is still going to be the same, your paycheck is still going to be the same. They only difference is when you go to cash your check, the dollars [dinars?] they give you back are going to look different if they lop off the zeros. He has his brain locked into a LOP, and no matter what other facts are out there, he just can't seem to see them. MarkZ ... the bond folks have expectations of things starting from between the 15th to the 22nd. And we were told from day one that bonds need to be close to completion or well underway before they pull the trigger… Hopefully we will know by tomorrow if bonds kick off - from European contacts... Clare Article: "His advisor: Sudanese attention will focus on the economy during his meeting with the American President” Quote: "Counselor Saleh believes that the economic aspect (investment, development, and financing) “will be activated for the first time in this broad form of the strategic framework agreement in order to be consistent with the data and principles of the program.” Militia Man Article: "Sudanese visit..Government advisor: The economy with America will be activated on a large scale for the first time" The red carpet is laid out for Iraq and the news we see is phenomenal ... That motorcade shows it. This is not a shun like we saw with Haider al-Abadi on the White House lawn.. A stark and profound difference today is and it is a good thing!

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 If you don't like what they [Chase Bank] have got, then go somewhere else... And when you go somewhere else you already studied the bank...vetted... looked at their portfolio...know their officers... know their structure...know how they're going to take care of your money... invest your money right? If you say no to any of those questions you're in trouble because the leeches and parasites... vultures sense you, once the sharks know that there's chum in the water, they're going to circle you. They're going to tear you apart. 'Hey, MC Hammer... You Can't Touch This. You can't touch my money Frank.' How much money do you have? $200 million...How much you have now? Nothing... [this] is the situation we will be facing very soon. You're going to be attacked... You don't like Chase, make sure you check out where you're going carefully... Militia Man We know Al-Sudani is gearing to come to the United States on or around the 15th. Today we see he's ready to spend about a week in the Untied States. His saying about a week in the United States is a big deal because that's a long time. He's bringing... senior representatives from the Central Bank of Iraq... They're going to be talking with the United States Treasury... Clare Article "Bankers excited to meet the Treasury Al-Sudani will stay in America for a week.. A source from Baghdad and another from Washington reveal the agenda" Quote "The Iraqi government source confirmed to the 964 network that Al-Sudani will hold meetings with businessmen, and will be accompanied by Iraqi bank officials...The Sudanese visit lasts a week and includes 3 American states." Samson Article ”Bankers excited to meet the Treasury Al-Sudani will stay in America for a week.. A source from Baghdad and another from Washington reveal the agenda" Pimpy My gut feeling is they're going to re-denominate and then change the exchange rate right after that to where it should be, somewhere around $3 and something cents per dinar. I've got 5 million. If it goes to $3 and something, I made $15,000. I'm a happy camper with that. It's better than not having anything. I understand for a lot of you you're like, 'No. No. NO. that's not good because that's not what I had in mind.' And I'm sorry but you're asking me my opinion. That is my opinion. They will re-denominate the currency, LOP off the zeros - your 25,000 dinar will become 25 and then they'll reinstate the old rate... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Television is talking about our international debt going from trillions to billions... FRANK: That is the definition of lifting the three zeros... It's that simple... Going from trillions to billions - how? 'We already told you, we're lifting the three zeros from our exchange rate.' Why? 'Because we're re-denominating our currency.' How? 'By bringing out lower notes and getting rid of the three zero notes...' Why? 'Because we suffered enough.'

RON Pimpy Iraq is right on track to do some great things.They're going to continue to do that. Let's get this coalition forces out of there plus the United States military, which is why I think Al-Sudani is coming over here to talk to the president to see about getting these people out of there and leaving Iraq on it's own devices. We'll see what happens from there... Clare Article: "Iraq 24 sources: Al-Sudani will meet a delegation from the Energy Companies Complex in Houston, which includes the largest oil, gas and alternative energy companies" Militia Man [Sudani] is going to need some exceptional strength, which is exchange rate oriented to do business deals with the likes of GE... big oil companies... big solar energy... They're looking to get people in the steel industry, rebar industry, cement companies because they're going to need more than Iraq has on the ground. They're going to want the support from around the world and Al-Sudani is stating he's ready for business and opening to the world. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani is visiting Washington, Michigan, and Texes while he's in the United States of America. FRANK: Understand the seriousness of this trip. It's not to go see some guy at the White House. It's to go lay out the groundwork for both of their reforms.

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 Sudani is walking on the yellow brick road to Washington DC. This is going to be historical trip... not just for Iraq, for both sides... the trip to Washington DC is crucial. Pimpy The more they get their sovereignty back, they're already on the Swift system, they're working their way through the World Trade Organization, it's just a matter of time before they remove all restrictions and we can start buying them [Iraqi dinars] (and exchanging them) through the banks again... Deepwoodz Sudani has a very long statement out today and there are no plans of America leaving... Furthermore, I have a feeling that although Sudani has the well being of his people in mind concerning the exchange rate, O’Biden has his eyes on the dinar in our treasury. It’s a win win. No horse trading needed. Militia Man Iraq has met the required security and stability in country that is needed to be productive and to perform her duties as a nation to her people in a correct and internationally acceptable manner. If she hadn't she wouldn't be where she is now, which is out from under the protection of EO 13303 outside the DFI. Iraq is still covered under EO13303 until mid May 2024, unless it is rescinded by Biden - let's not jump the gun with assumptions. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] Firefly: They talked a long time about how the national cards we have will be used for all transactions in our country. FRANK: The national cards tell Iraqi citizens that their currency is about to have value, that it's about to go international. The International world would not want anything to do with the toilet paper valued currency. These are the hints. These are the telltale signs that they are are re-denominating and a new exchange rate is at your doorstep...

RON Militia Man There are so many indicators now that show Iraq is heading into the global stage and is setting the stage in many ways... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani say the meeting with Biden will put our reconstruction on a whole new basis. FRANK: The only reason the economic reform is going to be on a whole new basis...successful, is because the monetary reform was successful. Clare From X/Twitter: Iraqi Prime Minister's Office account: "Prime Minister, Mr. Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, leaves the capital, Baghdad, heading to the United States of America, at the head of a government and parliamentary delegation and representatives of the private sector, at the beginning of an official visit at the invitation of US President Joseph Biden." MarkZ Community comment "Sudani looks to be coming to the US on the 15th..." I think it more likely to happen toward the tail end of the 22nd to see our new rate. But Iraqi contacts think Sudani is going to announce it in Iraq before he heads to the US on the 15th…. I hope they are right and I am wrong.

RON Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Television is talking about Sudani's trip to Washington.

FRANK: My hope and prayer is he will talk to you about your new exchange rate because it is time to do so. He has given you every hint... every scenario... every option of why you're about to have a new value to your currency, about why your currency will be more valuable than the American dollar...I am sitting... in great hope he will make an announcement that will add purchasing power to your currency and then go to Washington with that power representing him as the leader of Iraq, a free sovereign nation and not the loser of a program rate country with sanctions upon him.

RON Pimpy On the one hand this [Closing Iraq's DFI in the United States] is a big step for Iraq. They now have control over their own funds and they can make their own decisions without asking for permission. On the downside we still have Maliki and the Coordinating Framework in charge of the government... This is a good thing though. It's a big step for Iraq. It's a big step in gaining their freedom 100%. Internationally it looks really good for Iraq as well...Untied States is saying, 'Look, we trust Iraq can deal with whatever comes at them...' Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Have not seen any of it on the news today about the lower notes that are going to be distributed in May...

Yes there seems to be a rumor about the lower notes...let's see what happens this coming week. Let's see how things start to unfold.

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 Fnu Lnu [Response to Pimpy's HCL non-revenue sharing post from 3-31-2024] The notion of revenue-sharing is nothing new in the Middle East. Bruni and Kuwait both do it...Revenue Watch Middle East Director Yahia Said recently returned from several months in Iraq working on the International Compact with the UN...This USIPeace Briefing summarizes the discussion. Many Iraqi citizens look to the law for what it can contribute to reconciliation, security, and welfare. The three parts of the agreement will deal with the issues of 1) revenue sharing; 2) restructuring of the ministry of oil; and 3) establishing the Iraqi National Oil Company (INOC). [Post 1 of 2]{Reposted} Fnu Lnu It is quite clear that the HCL has intentions to codify the issue of welfare (not for government) and the number 1 issue is REVENUE SHARING. To be more specific; Section 1314 of the FY2007 Supplemental Appropriations Act [P.L.110-28] specifically identified the enactment and implementation of legislation “to ensure the equitable distribution of hydrocarbon resources of the people of Iraq without regard to the sect or ethnicity of recipients” and “to ensure that the energy resources of Iraq benefit Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs, Kurds, and other Iraqi citizens in an equitable manner” as benchmarks. [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. They should see some economic boom as long as the coordinating framework and those political people that are in power can somehow get out of the way or removed from office altogether... Militia Man Q? : Why in the world would anybody want to invest into Iraq if they were going to put their money into Iraq and then they were going to lose? Because if you invest your money in Iraq and they LOP their currency you're not going to make any money, it's a neutral event. Walkingstick [Report from #1 - his Iraqi bank owner friend in Iraq and in our opinion] The HCL has been long done! ....Article 140 and the disputed territories, done! The redenomination at the onset, that rate is done! Awaiting nothing but the release and implementation of all of this. MarkZ Question: Since Sudani has to go to US on April 15th does that mean nothing will happen on the RV until then or after? Mark: Many believe he could be coming to the US after the RV for his “victory lap”. But not very likely. I'm afraid we'll need to wait till late Summer or Fall. Clare Article: "Al-Shammari reveals the most prominent files of Sudanese’s visit to Washington and the government’s ambition regarding the dollar" Quote: "Al-Sudani's visit to Washington will be practical and will not be for taking pictures...The Iraqi delegation will ask the American side about the reasons for their decisions to impose sanctions on Iraqi banks...

RON Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: My bank guy says the only way they would stop funding the budget and stop everything is to make a rate change in the budget...the new rate will produce excess funds to cover the reform projects...He says when that budget gets done this weekend and if it is amended the rate change will come real close in his opinion... FRANK: I agree 100%...once we see the budget amended and released it will expose a new exchange rate. I don't think that a simple rate of 1 to 1 is what Sudani is looking for anymore. Mnt Goat ...it is very significant to collect...dollars stashed in the homes of the citizens. This is the next step. But they told us the CBI would not take this next big step, to collect all this cash, unless they first got the parallel market under control. Now they are telling us it is under control. ...But how will the CBI get all these hordes of cash out of the homes and into the banks? ...Yes, more purchasing power...But how do you get more purchasing power? You must increase the rate of the dinar and I firmly believe this will be next step, and this is coming soon, VERY soon!

How much over to give enough incentive to turn in the dollars, we don’t know. ... We are not going to exchange at this rate anyhow. Later, after the reinstatement, If you live in the U.S. you will get the U.S. rate, if in Canada you will get the Canadian rate or if you live in the EU you will get the European rate.

RON Fnu Lnu New notes will be a necessity. However, they will be used in the domestic market primarily, as almost everything else will be done electronically. The IMF will not allow member country's to "walk away" from their currency. This new note / delete the zeros paradigm is not complicated. The hand wringing can stop now. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV is say when Sudani goes to Washington. OMG that's a long time off. Means nothing changing until after that probably, if it does this year. FRANK: I don't care if it happens on the 15th of April. I don't care if it happens tomorrow. I just know it's happening with all that we're seeing. The proof is there. There's no doubt about it. Pimpy Once they re-denominate the old currency is no longer any good. You can exchange it for the new lower bank notes but your higher bank note doesn't have any extra or more purchasing power or more valuable than the new notes.

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.

The dropping of the zeros is off the exchange rate...We were told on TV that during next week the 2024 amended budget will arrive at parliament for their vote.

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 Question "Are the Saddam dinars worthless?" Yeah, they're worthless because they're no longer recognized by anybody. Pimpy Think about it. The current Iraqi dinar of 25,000 dinar - they delete the zeros off, now becomes 25 dinar and then all of a sudden they change the exchange rate from where it is to $3.22 per dinar. This is good for the Iraqi people, their purchasing power has changed. They can get a lot more things bought with their money. But that doesn't help us because they lopped the zeros off...so instead of getting a $3.22 rate against a 25000, we're only going to get that $3.22 rate against a 25 dinar. Instead of getting millions you get thousands...At least be aware that that's possible. Kaperoni If Iraq is unable to achieve diversity they will have no alternative but to simply just delete the zeros (LOP) which is a neutral event reducing the currency from around 80 trillion to 80 billion dinar. Any exchange rate gain would be minimal as a result. Sandy Ingram There is absolutely no law against carrying large sums of cash...You can travel with as much money as you want. However, there is a catch. If you are entering or leaving the Untied States with more than ten thousand dollars in cash or equivalent, you are required to report it to customs and border protection. This rule applies whether the cash is in U.S. dollars or in a foreign currency...You need to complete a "FinCen 105 form"...What happens if you don't report more than 10 thousand dollars in cash? Failure to report can lead to seizure of the money...You may also face criminal charges...Remember these rules...it's always better to be safe than sorry. Walkingstick The closer it gets to the reinstatement the more they will tell the citizens concerning the monetary steps...There's nothing like facts being told to the citizens with confidence. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: When it floats it's going to go up really fast. The demand is going to be big on our currency...This thing may have the ability to reach $4.25...probably they will cap it out and go back to settle just a little ahead of Kuwait... FRANK: I believe Kuwait will allow that to happen as well...Sudani made them happy... MarkZ Sudani is expressing the need to freeze all electronic transfers….basically freezing all banking and currencies. This is exactly what they would have to do to start the exchange process. I am a firm believer they are doing that to prepare people that the banking system may be funky for a day or two while they flip that switch. There is so much going on. The chatter has gone through the roof in Iraq with Sudani and the Central Banks movements. If only 10% of the people are right – we are within sight of the finish line.

RON Jeff Iraq technically does not need to amend the budget if they're not changing their rate. The budget already covers their operating expenses. But they would need surplus funds to cover the reforms. The reforms are contingent upon the rate changing. They can't bring these reform package forward if the rate does not change. The only reason they're amending the budget is because the rate is changing ...The step of amending the budget can happen either before or after the rate changes ... They will probably announce Thursday or Friday as to when they plan to amend the budget, which they'll probably do around this weekend... Militia Man If Al-Sudani says, the dinar hold on to it, it's going too be stronger than the dollar...$0.76 is not stronger than the dollar.

The RI will take it to $3.22 IMO. But because it's been 20 years I strongly believe IMO they may cap it around $4.25...The other currencies around the Middle East will not complain if the Iraqi dinar is higher than their rate...Frank is out of his mind if he still thinks that the IQD will go that high. Times & circumstances have changed, but he still has his head where the sun doesn't shine. .... JMHO ....RON MarkZ I think the news is getting restricted as we get closer. I think the quiet is a positive sign. A number of sources were given cautionary notices to be quiet or NDA’s. So to me it’s a great sign that things are quiet...Contacts in Iraq and around the world still think we are within days…but they have thought that before….so not going to jump out of my skin just yet. The quiet is probably the thing that is the most encouraging to me right now.

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 Jeff One of the major things Iraq has to do before they can revalue the currency is they have to pause all of their money. They have to suspend it. Freeze it. As of Friday both the central bank and the government of Iraq paused and froze all their monies. What does that mean to us? ...By them suspending all of their monies between the central bank and the government that makes this [past] weekend...the first eligible weekend for Iraq to be able to revalue the currency... Militia Man Al-Sudani...talked about having the dinar be 1.32 dinars to the dollar...turns out to be around $0.76. That's a big bit of purchasing power for the citizens. Is it what they're going to end up with in the future based off all the natural resources that they...all the non-oil maximized income...tourism, all the extra stuff you never had when Saddam Hussein was in office? Saddam Hussein's $3.22 to 1 dinar was based off about $35 a barrel of oil. Oil is pushing $85 today...They have surplus money coming from all these different places... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The funding for all of 2024, last Wednesday was suspended...and it was changed ...They must be using the new exchange rate. They said they changed it and then sent it to the Council of Ministers for the review. Then it is to be sent to the House for a vote...It should be going for a vote any time. We think it's going to move to 1.32 making it $0.76 which is not more than the dollar like Sudani promised, until they add the new exchange rate to it. That's what we're expecting. MarkZ ...I've been told absolutely clear that it does not matter, circulated or uncirculated, to participate and that makes sense...

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 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Alaq CBI governor said improving relations with international banks and amending the CBI bank Law. Alaq also saying about the $1.32 from 1320, if that's the case then Iraq will need lower notes for change if we go under 250 notes. FRANK: They're hinting to you what they're about to give you. They're having the conversation out in the open so you can prepare yourself...all of this is seeing the state to add value to your currency. Militia Man Iraq is going to go through that industrial revolution because they're going to rebuild the country. The evidence is quite clear. The fascinating part about it is we had Al-Sudani/his government say they were going to do the project to delete the zeros...They were going to have the Iraqi dinar be worth 1.32 dinars to the dollar. That equates to about $0.76. Those folks that talk about a LOP, how do they explain that? They can't because that's not what it is. Pimpy It [the article] doesn't say the exchange rate is $1.32, more likely what it is Al-Sudani will change the exchange rate where you can buy 132 dinar for $1. That's a 90% increase. I don't know about you but I'd be pretty happy with that. I'd be content with that. I know a lot of you are expecting million, that doesn't mean it can't happen but if we're allowed to keep this currency that we have right now with all the zero and they change the exchange rate I'm going to count my blessing and sell them because I'm not going to take the risk of hoping for a higher exchange rate and then turn around and delete the zeros. $37,000 is not too bad for less than a $2,000 investment. Frank26 I made a mistake...$0.76 was correct. I apologized...It's 1.32 to $1 which comes out to the $0.76. MarkZ Comment: There is currently a bond crisis brewing. Mark: Yes there is…and years ago one of the key players in the RV told us to keep our eyes on the bond market and when it finally gasps its last breath…that is when we go... It is certainly troubled enough to gasp its last breath. Mnt Goat ...the Chairman of the Finance Committee stressed, and I Quote: “the importance of following up on the economic file and monetary policy, based on the supervisory aspect, and finding appropriate solutions to the obstacles facing the work of the Central Bank.” What they are basically telling the CBI is to follow up and move more aggressively on this issue of increasing the value of the dinar...I believe there is enormous pressure to get the dinar revalued and conduct the 3 zero note changeout (The Project to Delete the Zeros).

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 In November, December we started sending you [to the banks]. You came back with, oh, man they don't know nothing. They say it's a scam. Even the banks you bought the dinars from say it's a scam. Then in January we started to see a different trend. It was more like, just go away. Last month we started to see them talking a little bit more and then toward the end of the month I said to you banks in Iraq can start answering questions of the Iraqi citizens...now you see what's going on. MarkZ Question: So is this the month? Mark: I very much think this could be our month, I do not have a magical ball…but going back to the Simply Linn bank story and remind you that bank manager said he does not know the timing but know it’s soon. And we may know before they do. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani is going to Washington in April about getting controversy of Iraqi allies and Washington.

RON Militia Man Ministerial Council of Economics... Ministry of Planning, Industry, Trade, Central Bank of Iraq, Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, advisers, all of those folks that are involved...have been knocking it out of the park themselves and showing why they are bringing Iraq to be the financial savior...The world expectations are Iraq is going to be a key component into the global financial system...When they say it's imminent that's a broadcast to the world... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Saleh is on television talking about Iraq's financial situation. He said...we have enough reserves to back a stable exchange rate... FRANK: That's the reinstatement of your currency. That's going to be the float eventually too. FIREFLY: ...He says we are capably of many other things besides oil, our country is powerful, growing and the world knows it. FRANK: Have you noticed the only topic in Iraq is about the exchange rate of a new currency that is coming to you?

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 Community Comment "...The IQDs are oil credits. Our currency will go to the banks and then then the Untied States Treasury. The US will use the currency to trade with Iraq for oil or other commodities." ...No it's not an oil credit, it's just a currency. I've heard that rumor before. It's just a normal currency Iraq has. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Economic experts on television saying Iraq has a lofty exchange rate to uncover... FRANK: Do you understand the word lofty? ...The word lofty means at its highest, at a pinnacle. They are telling you they have an exchange rate they are about to give you that will be lofty for your currency and for you...that is the opposite of a program rate... Militia Man Financing a country to rebuild at 1310 is not going to happen. There's not enough money...90 trillion dinar divided by 1310 is somewhere around $68 billion. Building a country with all its components with that value is probably not going to happen...Can you imagine how much it's going to cost at 1310 to build 15 industrial cities? 3 to 4 million houses, infrastructure, roads, sewer systems, water systems, their military all those things on $68 billion? I shake my head. An excellent point MM..!

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 Walkingstick [Iraqi Bank Friend called #1 Update - He owns 7 banks, 2 in Jordan] About two weeks ago we told you IOO the banks of Iraq were going to be receiving sample sheets/specimens. They were very very precise pictures of the lower notes. It turns out #1 has them...They started to practice and use them but they needed more help so they requested. You will see this request on the CBI website probably within this week where they are requesting help with the security features in the small notes that they are practicing counting, sorting and training right now...The new software will be with them and the banks within this week. Fnu Lnu [Reply to Frank26's Dinar on Forex post 3-5-2024 below] There is no such thing. A) The rule of One Price, and There is no back side or private side to FOREX...With that being said: There are platforms in Shanghai and Singapore that are totally unregulated. It is the wild west of commodity trading and they create investment packages where they bundle up packages containing many different speculative investments into a bundle and trade those. But that isn't happening now either though it was a thing with the IQD several years ago but not now... Pimpy Within the past year we have seen more and more exciting news. It isn't just talk and hype...This time we actually see articles that are showing the progress that Iraq is making in order to start working and trading with the international markets. They're doing all they can to strengthen their currency while at the same time show stability... Things are going good. They're actually going a lot quicker than I anticipated. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV is saying we are now using the best and most improved international electronic payment system they said it's one of the best in the world with all the security features and all of this is from the CBI... FRANK: The electronic payment system is a huge key to the monetary reform for the float...Notice everything is coming from the CBI and not one word of negativity from anybody else. Militia Man Article Quote: "Accession [Into WTO] is imminent"...What are they waiting for? ...Iraq's going to have to make a decision on their real effective exchange rate. That's my view...You can't have Iraq having imminent accession to the international markets through the World Trade Organization without having a Real Effective Exchange Rate. Most of us believe 1310 is not a real effective exchange rate. Pimpy There's a lot of hoopla going on about Iraq joining the World Trade Organization and rightfully so. This is one of the big steps that Iraq needs to take in order to rejoin the international community... Article "Official: The issue of Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization is coming soon" Suzie [Reply to Frank26's Dinar on Forex post 3-5-2024] Just MY opinion, no smarter than a dumb blonde can be, I think we're over-speculating on this Forex thing. I've done those calculations same as most and my OWN reality is none of it means anything until Iraq gets the dinar rate down to the 1-1 and then I think we'll see the rate rise quickly to what we're all looking for...

RON Frank26 Article: "Multiple advantages and an important turning point... How did electronic payment methods affect the Iraqi economy?" Quote: "Al-Shabani...explained the possibility of absorbing approximately 92% of the cash mass saved in homes after the complete shift towards electronic currency dealing..." They recovered 92% of the 3-zero notes... Kaperoni If Iraq is ever going to raise the value of the dinar they need to do it gradually over time so they can reduce the money supply. As well, a gradual increase reflects the economic growth of the economy. Nader From The Mid East A lot of good news come out yesterday and I'm very happy...You know what? I'm excited. I'm very excited what's happening. Pimpy Article: "Sudani: Investment environment in Iraq is promising and open" Remember they have to be able to draw in foreign investors. As long as the country appears to be stable, the economy looks to be stable, the exchange rate looks to be stable, the currency looks to be stable, it's all promising...this is all great news. This is one hell of a day for Iraq... Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The television is saying the government is putting mobile teams together to monitor - No prices gouging during Ramadan. That tells us plainly there will be no rate change during Ramadan IMO. FRANK: It can happen at any time...But... I don't see the reason for this to happen during Ramadan. It is a holy period. I see it happening before Ramadan. Clare Article: "Iraq is looking forward to joining the World Trade Organization" Quote: "Iraq has today become a major economic player on the world level and needs to harmonize Iraqi laws with international laws." MarkZ Question: Could Iraq RV during Ramadan? Mark: There is a historic precedence to go during Ramadan. For Muslims most things slow down at this time…and they do not like doing business at that time…but, it doesn’t mean they won’t...but it sure would be more convenient to go right before it. [Note: Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday, March 11, and continue through Wednesday, April 10.]

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 Today easily has got to be one of the best days of news for Iraq I've seen in a long time. They have been busting their asses to get their country in line to get back out and do business on the international market...One great article after another... MarkZ I have one source close to the WTO that thinks it will be mid March for the actual ascension…It is clear it is now inevitable they are heading this direction. Harlequinc3 Question: "I don't have any receipts of currency i bought 14 years ago...is that a problem to exchange it when the event happens?" Only in the event of an audit for taxation. The bank won't care in the slightest when and where you got your dinar -- as long as it's valid currency. All the receipt proves is WHEN you bought your dinar -- which only matters to entities like the IRS, because the tax bracket for capital gains changes depending on how LONG you've had the asset. [NOTE: Some feel the exchange will be capital gains, others personal income, other not taxed at all. The only opinion that matters is the IRS's - At the appropriate time consult your tax advisor to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances.] Clare Article Quote: "Parliamentary agreement with the European Union mission: European financial and banking institutions are preparing to invest in Iraq" Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV showing half a billion dinar recovered from a corrupt banking judiciary officer.
