Good Evening Dinar Vets, here's several opinions & comments that might be of interest 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. RON *** Pimpy Article: "Parliamentary Finance: Approval of the current year's budget will fulfill many demands" Obviously they've had a chance to review the reform papers...We know that the Finance Minister said talks about the exchange rate are in the reform papers but we don't know what that means. I don't want people to assume that 1. There's going to be a rate change. It's easy to make that assumption because they're talking about it... 2. We don't know what the rate is going to be...every time we hear talk about this we get all kinds of rumors...I've heard it as high as $15 which is totally ridiculous...everything is speculation. It's okay to feel optimistic about what's coming up but again just hang tight. Don't be surprised if they try to throw out a "sucker rate". One that looks half-ass tempted for you to turn in your dinar and then you turn it in then all of a sudden they release another rate a few month later that's much higher...It's not beyond people to do that. We shall see. *** MilitiaMan The idea of going out side of the this month yet seems a bit hasty... lol imo The change in the budget has not been exposed yet. Therefore, this is nowhere near over, imo in the short term, let alone going into next year. Lets not forget the 2019 FMLA.. Lets not also forget they can move or allocate the investment side of the budget to the operational side in a stroke of a pen.. All in recent articles, jmtc. *** Kaperoni Many economists have stated in the last few months Iraq should devalue the Iraqi dinar to reduce expenses during this difficult time. The problem is it also hurts the citizen and so officials have maintained stability at the current rate. Today former deputy CBI governor Muhammed Saleh once again reiterated that the Iraqi dinar may be devalued in the near future...If Iraq floats the currency under the current circumstances a devaluation is very possible. Iraq needs to pass laws and create a suitable business environment for foreign investment. Once that occurs the dinar should begin to gradually appreciate. *** Pimpy ...if somebody in the position of power knew for a fact the date and the rate of any currency that was going to jump up in value like we expect the Iraqi dinar to do and they share that information, that's like insider trading information. That's a felony. That's big time trouble. That's illegal. Nobody is going to tell you...don't get me wrong the 'powers that be' or the elite or whatever the hell you want to call them, they do talk to one another...we know they share information that they shouldn't with each other...that's how the rich stay rich and the rest of us keep trying to put in the puzzle pieces...

KTFA Members "Saturday News" 10-10-2020 KTFA: Samson: Fearing China's supremacy ... global central banks unite to launch a digital currency 10th October, 2020 On Friday, a group of 7 major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, set out to define what a digital currency would likely look like, to help catch up with a pioneering role for China and outpace private projects such as the stablecoin of Facebook's Libra. Central banks and the Bank for International Settlements said the key features should include durability, availability, at low or no cost, appropriate standards, clear legislative framework, and an appropriate role for the private sector. The growth in non-cash payments since the lockdown measures were imposed to combat the Corona pandemic, said John Cunliffe, deputy governor of the Bank of England and head of the Payments Committee at the Bank for International Settlements, is accelerating how technology can transform forms of money. Central banks have begun closely examining digital currencies, after Facebook last year announced its Libra currency, which has yet to be launched, and will be backed by a mix of major currencies and government debt. Since then, the entity behind Libra has modified its plans, and is currently hoping to launch several "stable currencies" backed by single currencies. Cunliffe added that central banks need to keep pace to avoid the private sector closing payment gaps in inappropriate ways. In addition to the Federal Reserve (the US Central Bank) and the Bank of England, the seven banks that have allied with the Bank for International Settlements include: the European Central Bank, the Swiss National Bank, and the Bank of Japan. China is already testing a digital yuan, while the People's Bank of China says it will further spread the yuan in a currency world dominated by the dollar. On Thursday, Kenji Okamura, the top Japanese diplomat involved in financial affairs, said that China is seeking to gain the leading advantage in building its own digital currency, warning that "this is something we should be afraid of."LINK Don961: Finance Minister: We will present the white paper for reform to the cabinet next Tuesday 10/10/2020 12:48:03 PM Baghdad / Al-Masalla: The Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, revealed, on Saturday, October 10, 2020, the date for submitting the reform paper to the Council of Ministers and its contents.
