10-12-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf "Delete the zeros" or redenomination will take some time to prepare for implementation, usually about 2 years. In the meantime there are positive indications for a very good Christmas. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 So the next part we’re looking for...and we already know this, but it’s the second article. It will give them the date of when the value is going to go up. It will tell them when they have to go to the bank. It will have the pictures of all the New Small Category Notes and the Coins, with the descriptions... It’s even going to explain to them why they are reinstating their currency. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 CBI Interim Governor and Board members will meet with Prime Minister designate Mahdi today. (Hmmmm, I wonder what’s up?) Is Mahdi being sworn in today? We’re still awaiting an answer to that one. [What does the Oct 24 date have to do with us?] No more excuses after Oct 24 – supposedly. Let's see if something exciting happens this weekend. 10-12-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch If the CBI does release notes in the 1 dinar to 100 dinar range in the near term, and if there is not an immediate and significant positive change in the exchange rates of the IQD to other national currencies, and I suspect there won't be, don't panic. There may be a very good reason for any significant changes in the exchange rates to stall for a short time while 40 million proud Iraqi citizens get acclimated to their new legal tender. It is vital that any possible release of new classes of currency be done in a way that maintains economic stability for all Iraqi citizens first and foremost. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta We know that they are about to make their move. For them to print Lower Denominations, even the 250, 500, and even the 1000, this give you an indication that the rate has to increase. But definitely a lot of stuff going on. It looks like, for the suitable environment, like you said, and that is an excellent point. It looks like the CBI the rates will start gradually to make their move and we’ll see what the next move is going to be...(post 1 of 2)... 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta For them to place more 1000 dinar notes, this gives you the indication that the 3 zero deletion, is coming off the exchange rate. Not from the currency. Otherwise, they never would have printed these. It’s not even a question now. Why they’re printing the 1000 dinar notes if they are going to get rid of them? Because it’s going to come off the exchange rate, and not from the currency by itself. This is really good news! This is a brilliant idea. Now for us of course, this is very important, but of course, we are waiting for the events for them to change the rate. We do believe, that along the way, the rate will change before they introduce the other Lower Denomination. That’s what we are looking for right now....(post 2of 2) 10-12-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CBI CONFIRMS ON MONDAY OCT 8TH THAT THE CURRENT BANKNOTES OF THE CATEGORIES (25000, 10000, 1000, 500 AND 250) WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRADED WITH THE NEW CATEGORIES ISSUED BY THE BANK WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO WITHDRAW THEM" ...We are NOT going to have an RV in the month of October or even in November. Our next possible window is maybe December or January... So the last move of the CBI is just reissuing the same denominations already in circulation (20k, 10k 250, 500 and 1000). Yes, this is significant in a way since they are putting “LARGE AMOUNTS” of these smaller categories namely 250, 500 and 1000 which means the citizens are taking to them and using them as petty cash. It is a slow process to get them to use them in daily transactions of small purchases instead of using the larger 3 zero notes and then having to make so much change all the time. But we know at some point the CBI will have to reinstate the dinar and give it a market rate so it can properly function and be traded globally. 10-12-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Al-Khakani [economist] stressed need to activate small notes for economic & financial benefits for the Iraqi consumer, including category 50 & 100 dinars...

As of 10:55 PM EDT... 10-11-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Remember...I told you that the most important thing for us is to see that the Lower Denoms’ get replaced...Because they’re worn and torn...And it’s really important, as part of the Monetary Reform, the redenomination. Well, Lo and Behold...What did you see...An article that tells you that they have distributed the 250, the 500, the 1000… the Lower Denoms! ...We really felt that it would be this week, that they would release the lower denoms...the 250, the 500, the 1000...But…(post 1 of 2)... 10-11-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...the article, that came out last month, not only said about this happening, but they also said that after that, they would be introducing the new smaller category notes. ...In other words...in my opinion, right there, they just telegraphed, that next week, or within this month, very shortly, the NEXT GROUP is going to come out! The Small Notes, the 1, the 5, the 10, the four coins…the one that requires a change in the rate! This is HAPPENING...right before our eyes! And all because, the Final Suitable Environment has been established within that government.In my opinion...(post 2 of 2)... 10-11-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) reports that deleting the 3 zeros is still intended to take place (and possibly soon).This project was targeted for launch in 2011 and met political opposition and then again 2014, but was postponed due to ISIS. Iraqi TV reports that October 24 is the deadline for cabinet submittals, then Parliament will vote on the received names. Reports indicate that Prime Minister-Designate Madhi and his members are prepared to meet the October 24 deadline to complete the cabinet and send to Parliament for approval. 10-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Bluedog CAN'T STOP THE FEELING!...To what's coming, and now we need to get ready... and prepare NOW... IMO. 10-11-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat quote: "...the day the reinstatement occurs and the rate changes they are NOT dropping the three zero's and 5,000 will not become 5 and 25,000 will not becomes 25 in-country or out of country. The CBI has told us many times over and over again in multiple articles that these older 3 zero notes will “coincide” with the smaller category notes." I agree 100% with Mt Goat's statement.Upon reading, it occurred to me that I may have been unclear in one of my earlier posts. ...some may have thought that I was suggesting they were simply going to drop the 3 zeros from their existing currency. Not at all....(post 1 of 2).... 10-11-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch What I do believe is that they may be preparing to issue VLD (Very Low Denomination) classes of currency in addition to the three-zero notes, the latter being phased out in the natural course of almost 40 million Iraqis going about their daily lives, buying and selling, earning and consuming, transacting normal business in favor of the new, dimensionally smaller, lower face value, maybe even prettier and more patriotic, VLD notes. It is possible this gravitation could have a pronounced effect on various macroeconomic values and ratios, which may, in turn, have further pronounced effects on things like intrinsic values and purchasing power, all occurring at reasonably controllable, predictable speeds. And if this turns out to be true, it might end up being said in retrospect that never was the term "less is more" more profoundly appropriate...(post 2 of 2)... 10-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the day the reinstatement occurs and the rate changes they are NOT dropping the three zero's and 5,000 will not become 5 and 25,000 will not becomes 25 in-country or out of country. The CBI has told us many times over and over again in multiple articles that these older 3 zero notes will “coincide” with the smaller category notes. In fact just the other day an article came out and they reinforced this policy again. I quote from the article – “The Central Bank of Iraq issued its second edition of the banknotes of the categories of (25000, 10000, 1000, 500, 250) dinars, stressing that he will continue trading circulation of cash currently traded from the above categories with the new categories WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO WITHDRAW FROM CIRCULATION.”...(post 1 of 2).... 10-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...It is clear as day that these 25000 and 10000 notes will coincide with the 250, 500 and 1000 and even yet smaller notes later. The project to delete the zeros is now underway and has been underway. This is not about a LOP in or out of country. It is literally NOT going to drop the three zeros from the currency that already exists. This is a figurative statement in that the newer smaller category notes will REPLACE the older 3 zero notes in everyday, common use by the citizens. That is all this statement means. ...They then will have to raise the rate once the economy and political environment is “suitable” to do so...(post 2 of 2)...

The previous Guru Opinions dated 10/10/2018 is actually for Tuesday 10/09/2018 but posted Wednesday morning - unable to change date in title. 10-10-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Karbouli of the relationship: I will accept to put your picture if the dinar is equal to the dollar" I wouldn't be surprised that tomorrows meeting in parliament, with Mahdi, Alak and CBI Board members could not only pave the way for new small categories, but, a new seated CBI Governor.. Take a bow Alak... lol Just thinking out loud...He did get a recent award for doing a fine job?? Now he has his name on the Currency. I don't buy that was a mistake or even will be costly for him. In fact, it looks more like it was planned, as the CBI board would know the legalities of such a move and knew of the consequences of their actions. I pray those consequences are one nice new internationally recognized rate less a few zeros... imo Lets let the dust settle from tomorrow and see if they expose the new smalls once the banks in Iraq close, like they did last Thursday.. I like Sundays too.. lol. 10-10-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Article: "Karbouli of the relationship: I will accept to put your picture if the dinar is equal to the dollar" THE KEY IN THE ARTICLE IS THE AVOWAL OF A...1 TO 1!!! IMO...ALAK HAS NEVER WANTED HIS NAME / PIC ON THE CURRENCY...BUT HE DOES NOW...WHY? BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE PART OF A PROGRAM RATE CURRENCY...AND HE NOW WANTS TO BE A PART OF IRAQ'S HISTORY...FOR THIS NEW CURRENCY WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AND STUDIES IN IRAQI SCHOOLS AND THEIR MARKETS!!! ...ALAK SIMPLY WANTS TO BE SIDED WITH THE SUCCESS OF IRAQ INTO THE FUTURE. SO DO WE AS IQD INVESTORS...(wink) THE TIMING OF THE REASON...THE KEY. 10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq, in a rare move that surprised many..., appointed a President (Barham Salih) and the newly anointed one promptly gave us a new Prime Minister, Adil Abdul Mahdi...TWO accomplishments in one swift move? In the same week!? ...Believe it or not, it happened, and we’re off to the races. ...let’s remember what this really comes down to… OIL. For us to profit off of a rise in value on the currency of Iraq, they must raise the exchange rate. ...A revaluation of their currency was a long shot in 2008, but it was certainly possible. Now, in 2018, it’s much less of a long shot. In fact, with the complete passage of the HCL, it’s almost a certainty...(post 1 of 3....stay tuned)... 10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana According to the Iraqi Constitution, the new PM has exactly 30 days from taking the role to seat/appoint/select the new GOI. For those of you new to the discussion, that means nothing… if it takes longer than 30 days, nobody is getting hanged, tarred and feathered, or anything else. I expect to see the job 80% done inside the “mandatory” 30 days… but that 80% is probably enough for the job we need done...Follow recent history over the last couple years, glance at the recent elections, then compare them to the elections that were held over 10 years ago when many Iraqi Dinar holders first heard that there was an opportunity for the Dinar to regain it’s former value… OH. WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE! ...they have control of their systems. They didn’t have to call for help on anything. And that is EXACTLY what we want to see, what the world wants to see, in order to support a revaluation on their currency...(post 2 of 3....stay tuned)... 10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...PM Mahdi is tasked with the job of forming the government. A strong key to the future value of Iraqi Dinar is, as I mentioned earlier, OIL. Oh, did I mention that incoming Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi served as OIL MINISTER between 2014 and 2016? ...and he was placed there under Abadi, back when it was Abadi’s job to form the GOI. Even before that, Mahdi was Finance Minister under Allawi back in 2004. This new Prime Minister may not be everyone’s favorite… but he has some very serious credentials, and I think he’s going to play very nice with all of the important people in this process. New President, New PM, solid progress already happening. This recent election is a ROARING success for Iraq. If this keeps up, we’re looking at progress like we’ve never seen before - the HCL is going to be upon us before we even realize it, and if you aren’t watching for that RV text...you might miss it! I’m ready at a moment’s notice…are you? ...(post 3 of 3)... 10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I have not stated anything... regarding an RV or an RI in over 6 years. And yes the first four years I was in this investment I did think it was a possibility until I became more educated. Central banks don't spend 90 billion dinars to reprint existing currency unless they expected to be in circulation for at least a few years. If anything this should put an end to the...nonsense. There is no overnight event. The only possible positive outlook on the dinar would be a gradual appreciation via float over time...I've said so for 6 years there is no RV RI. Monetary policy is a name used by central banks to categorize tools that they use to maintain exchange rates. Floating the currency is one of those tools as it is used to combat inflationary pressure created by an influx of capital and investment. ‏ That is how monetary policy works. It's not some random act... 10-10-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] The MR is the Hottest thing in Iraq!!! It's happening/wrapping up, right before our eyes...just as we've been told to expect. 10-10-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via Pinkroses] ...October 9th in the US, Iraqi dinar was traded on Forex and also on the Nasdaq and also on the CBOE, Chicago Board of Exchange. That maybe affiliated with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. I am not sure. I do not know the rate...on the screens for the dinar, but I do know that there is a very high back screen rate that has been talked about...they go up and down, and it is just not responsible to give you rates...and they change. ...Be aware this can very well go before hurricane Michael even hits land. I am not calling it. Just beware that things are happening...The timing is getting so close...I am in high alert status... 10-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ’S MONTHLY REVENUES FROM OIL EXPORTS EXCEEDED THEIR HIGHEST LEVELS EVER" I still believe we need the oil revenues to [be] high in preparation for the reinstatement. Just a condition they needed and now have once again. This is part of the “more suitable environment” the CBI is talking about.

10-9-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The Iraqi British Business Councel (IBBC) met with Iraqi authorities including the CBI gov yesterday. The IBBC is hosting a conference in Dubai for Iraqi reconstruction in Nov. As well we have the Iraqi investment and banking conference in Nov (rescheduled from Sept) and the Baghdad International Fair (also rescheduled) ...so Nov is shaping up to be an exciting month. 10-9-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...WILL NOT SAY MUCH MORE...BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE ONLY THING WE SEEK...THAT IMO IS COMING. 10-9-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 ONE MORE THING...THERE WILL NOT BE RUNS ON OUR BANKS TO CASH YOUR DINAR, NOR WILL THERE BE ANY SPECIAL 800 NUMBERS FOR YOU TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS TO CASH YOUR DINAR. 10-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "POLITICAL BLOCS SENT THE NAMES OF CANDIDATES FOR THE MINISTERIAL POSTS TO PRIME MINISTER-DESIGNATE ADEL ABDUL-MAHDI" ...we see Iraq now working hard to get the ministries appointed for his cabinet. He wants to reduce them from 22 to 15. This will make the selection go faster and save a ton of money in the process. 10-9-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch [I don't understand the purpose the 1000 dinar notes if the currency is going to be on par (or greater) to the dollar anytime soon...] They may be doing it exactly as Kap [Guru Kaperoni] describes, although I do perceive an element of instability that could occur when a severely depleted-in-value IQD suddenly finds itself openly traded on the Forex with a 100,000% ROI over 3 years potential. If they, on the other hand, take a different, less-random route, and if they want to target completion at or around the first of the year, they would need to show their cards within the next few weeks. [reference Kaperoni post 10-6-2018]

As Of - 2:40PM EDT - Monday 10-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “BAGHDAD - The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Saturday the launch of large quantities of currency for small groups this week." Quotes: "put large quantities of small groups to meet the need for daily transactions and the quality of the material has been improved". "...a small change will be made in the NEW FORM THAT WILL BE PUT FORWARD FOR TRADING NEXT WEEK, knowing that the deal will be in the form of new and old together without discrimination." The CBI told us that they had a new format or “form” for the smaller categories that they were going to launch next week (this week). ...we are told that the new edition of the notes will “coincide” just as we were told already many times before. ..(post 1 of 3).... 10-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So why is the CBI putting out so many of the smaller categories like the 250, 500 and 1,000 notes? This is because more people are now able to use these notes for daily transactions for petty cash thus they are getting citizens used to thinking in terms of smaller denominated notes. But we know at some point they must also raise the value of these notes. But when is exactly this optimum time? We know that in all of the targeted reinstatement timeframes (...CBI timeframes...) that they intended to go always in the month of December – January. ...Then we also find out that the CBI...began the replacement of 25000 and 10000 notes that are now in circulation. This move is not a contradiction of the process to delete the zeros since they are replacing these 3 zero notes as they also told us once again and I quote – “WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO WITHDRAW FROM CIRCULATION". So again they told us these 3 zero notes will coincide with the smaller category notes. ..(post 2 of 3).... 10-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Why...did the CBI issue these new version format of the 1000 dinar? ...they said in other recent past articles, that the 1000 dinar note was being counterfeited already since they know the value is going to shortly seriously go up and this is going to be the largest of the smaller category notes widely within the public circulation. ...So what timeframe do you thin the CBI might now be thinking of to reinstate the dinar? ...I can say this with much confidence that the CBI may very well target again the December into January timeframe for the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar based on past history of target dates. So, if this new government is formed and no major events happen that cause alarm or instability we may be in a good window at that time. ..(post 3 of 3)... 10-8-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni CBI gets ready to introduce replacement currency 250, 500, 1000 dinars. This new currency only makes sense if they expect them to be in circulation for a while. No overnight event! The dinar will only rise gradually via a float. That is how monetary policy works. Raising the value of the Iraqi dinar is part of a much bigger process...integrating Iraq's financial system into the worlds banking system. That process includes the CBI accepting Article VIII of the IMF charter and moving to a new exchange rate regime. The reason the CBI must move away from it's current exchange rate regime (peg) is to counter inflationary pressure created when large amounts of capital and investment comes into Iraq. The new exchange rate regime will be a float allowing the CBI to counter this pressure by gradually raising the value. The good news is as I have said before is that I expect that process to start very soon. More to come later tonight ... RON

10-7-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...Until they release new classes of VLD (Very Low Denomination) currencies, in the range of 1 dinar to 100 dinar notes, the working theory I've been hinting about is on hold. This does not mean they won't do as much soon, but I must admit I was hoping to see something along the lines of VLD with these new predicted currency releases. Still, the fact that they have yet to breach this VLD range means the potential for such an issue remains viable. When it does finally happen, and if must if they plan to ever have the IQD achieve equality with the USD, it will be a surprise event. It's just not the sort of thing they would telegraph ahead of time. 10-7-2018 Newshound Guru chattels [Is it me, or is the Iraq government moving a lot more quickly than they have in the past?] November will be six months since the election which is about the time it has taken for other governments. Some parts of the process have taken longer and some have moved more quickly. The invitation / creation of the Prime Minister Designate was much quicker... 10-7-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni This process has been completely documented through the IMF. And monetary policy is never a random act. 10-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central Bank raises large amounts of currency for small groups" Possibly, by definition they have said they introduced currencies to rival the dollar... Introducing lower notes with an international rate and or less the 3 zeros could or would fit the definition of rival in comparison to the USD imo. The CBI also told us they were to make a simple change in respect to trading next week.. Quote: "The Central Bank raises large amounts of currency for small groups." In other words, they lifted enough large notes now so they can bring in the smaller groups. ...(post 1 of 2....stay tuned)... 10-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan They appear to to say two things in the way the are telling us this. Firstly they are putting up of raising large amounts of currency for that they can introduce large quantities for small groups. They clearly are doing what they said they were going to do by taking out the large and introducing the smalls.. imo. Then, they tell us now they are going to have a simple change with a new format next week.I don't know about you all, but, this sure sets the stage for big things to happen and in short order, as next week is within hours not days...(post 2 of 2)... 10-7-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...I do not believe this will be a float taking years to achieve par with the dollar, so be of good cheer...not going to post details yet. Stand by.

10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Q? : Hearing you say soon is surprising...] Opening up the banking system to engage with the world's financial system along with floating the dinar is top priority. No private sector or investment will start until such happens. I am very hopeful. [refeence Kaperoni post 10-6-2018] 10-6-2018 Intel Guru Delta Article: "We plan to restructure the Iraqi currency including deleting zeros" FYI...DELETE ZEROS WILL BE FROM EXCHANGE RATE ...3 ZEROS NOTE WILL PHASE OUT ... 10-6-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV reports PM Abadi informing the citizens that economic reforms could not be completed during his tenure due to security concerns with ISIS and the slowly progressing political issues. Both are now resolved and the new incoming Prime Minister should have no problems completing the task. Also on Iraqi TV is the message that political blocks have already submitted their candidate-selects to fill government posts to the Prime Minister-Designate projecting completion of assignments before the 30-day window expires. US Banks are sharing excitement of probable preparations for the first-of-the-week type of activity! ...Everything appears to moving at record speed compared to the past, can't wait to hear what happens the rest of this weekend! 10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there is no overnight event. Never will be. I guess all i can do is keep educating. If for no other reason people should understand the CBI would never spend the money to replace the currency unless they expected it to be in circulation for a while. That in itself tells you there is no single overnight RV RI going to happen...I do fully expect the dinar to go up in value, but not overnight. As stated in numerous articles going back years it could take two to three years to delete the zeros. In other words it's a gradual appreciation over time. The good news is I do expect it to start soon. Because Iraq needs to move out of Article XIV and into Article VIII to send a message to investors and the global financial system that they are open for business and as a result of that transition will need to float the currency...as the dinar gradually rises in value over time more emphasis will be on lower notes so having quality notes in circulation supports that. 10-6-2018 Intel Guru Delta NEW...OUT AS OF THURSDAY...250... 500... 1000. 10-6-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq announced the issuance of quantities described as large on small currencies for daily transactions." This has been brought to my attention and it is dated yesterday! Not sure about the source, but, this says coins...Next week... A statement by the bank said that it would introduce large quantities of small categories to meet the need for daily transactions. The quality of the material used has been improved, as well as a small change in the new format that will be presented for trading next week. He said the deal would be done in a new and old form, without discrimination... 10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch "The 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, etc., notes are to be new, as will be the coins." - Newshound Guru MilitiaMan. Head of nail meet hammer. My own guess would be 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1, as I surreptitiously suggested Oct 1st ...but now I'm just splitting hairs. Why those denominations? Easy, because they match 100,000, 50,000, 25,000, 10,000, 5,000 and 1,000 but without the triple zeros. Did I mention it was simple? I think I mentioned that. As our friend Randy [Gru Randy Koonce] likes to say... Breathe. Change can be a scary thing, but if they're doing what I think they're doing, I'll be able to explain how it's going to work, and why it's going to work, and even how quickly I believe it will work, but not until they actually step forward and initiate it. There is still a hidden aspect to it that won't be evident until after it starts. The ball is definitely in their court. 10-6-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 This has been a masterful plan. It’s been right along with what we call the FAB4, you know, the IMF, the United States Treasury, and the World Bank, and they are now reporting to the BIS, and saying...this is what we’ve got...We have a date, and we work with them, we are ready to go. ...they are going to start pumping small categories into the markets gradually ending the crisis. No kidding! THIS IS THE RI!!! THIS IS THE RV!!! ...Sounds like a good plan...

As Of 6:05 PM EDT .... Any later posts will be added as a reply later today .... RON 10-5-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Article: "We plan to restructure the Iraqi currency including deleting zeros" RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!!! ...YESTERDAY WAS ABOUT THE LD'S BEING REPLACED CAUSE THEY ARE WORN AND TORN...TODAY...THIS IS ABOUT THE NEW CATEGORY SMALL NOTES!!! WE FREAKEN TOLD YOU SO..!!! 10-5-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni New replacement dinar notes begin circulation next week. 10-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via Pinkroses] Just when it was safe to close the door on Iraq, something else comes out. Today we got information from Sulaymaniyah, one of our sources there, that Iraq is going to have their lower denominations not only at the ATMs. These are the lower ones the 10s, 20s...the lower denoms and they will be everywhere. They will be in the stores, the banks, the ATMs. They supposed to bring them out either Saturday or Sunday. Sunday is the first day of their business week...It is a very good sign that they are saying to the world...hey we have revalued. This is our new rate, and we have the new lower denoms to go to...(post 1 of 2)... 10-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce What is interesting about that is if they do come out Saturday or Sunday which we think they will...they will be also trading their dinar on their market Sunday night... We also believe the ISX will be trading, and the dinar will be tradable on the ISX but also it will be tradable on the NASDAQ in the US on Monday morning. We should have visibility more with Iraq and the dinar as the result of what they will be doing over the weekend whether it is Saturday or Sunday. ...It is looking good for the next few days... I am encouraged. I am excited. I feel good where we are..(post 2 of 2) 10-5-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch New small denominations of the same currency are not what I'm looking for. Rather, I'm looking for something quite different. Perhaps they are just getting the public accustomed to the idea of new currency issues. New artwork and such. 10-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...There is nothing that suggests outside of next week.. They clearly are reiterating there intentions to bring in the new [currency ?] next week. Abadi is PM now while and through the end of seating the Cabinet... The environment is stable and secure now and will be... Thus, the Independence of the CBI can roll out the new when appropriate, and there words are next week and that is their words not mine, or even any speculation about it what so ever. ...You don't bring in small currency with out a rate change... That is imo a reality..

Opinions As Of 6:20 PM EDT.... 10-4-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Sources are reporting that Prime Minister-Designate Abdul Mahdi will announce his cabinet members at the next Parliament session on Tuesday, adding that if not on Tuesday, then it will be announced on Thursday. This cabinet will replace PM Abadi's cabinet, who appears to be in full cooperation with the change of power. Iraqi TV reports the CBI announcing the placement of large quantities of the smaller notes in circulation next week to meet the needs of daily transactions. The 1,000 dinar note resurfaces as tattered 250's and 500's are being replaced with new currency. There is speculation that even smaller currency will be introduced next week also...TIME WILL TELL... 10-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "AL-HANAL: THE TIME IS RIGHT TO LAUNCH THE ID TRILLION INITIATIVE" Quote: "...THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE to activate the initiative of the Central Bank of “trillion dinars” for the support of small and medium enterprises..." So can they make more money from loaning money than they can from the currency auction spread? ...the timing of this news could not get any better. This is part of the “deliberate steps” the CBI is talking about...when they delayed the project to delete the zeros in April. We can now witness also the STABILITY of the government has come and this election saga is finally over. ...Will they decide to continue the project to delete the zeros and pick up where they left off in April? I believe they will. We know that this initiative in this article is part of the...redenomination process. So this is VERY good news for us. This initiative will coincide with getting off the currency auctions... This too is one of the issues in supporting the go ahead by the CBI to let the project to delete the zeros get into full swing. 10-4-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Manaolana3] Synopsis: Announcement made Mahdi as next PM; question whether his acceptance is constitutional; BUT it's not over yet (announcement took Frank and Teams by surprise). USA supports Mahdi and is being congratulated by many including ME countries, Amb Silliman, State Dept Rep McGurk,and others. USA gave list of technocrats to Mahdi; will rid of Iranian influence in Iraq, but most important seating of the government of Iraq. Mahdi is recognized by all parties due to his history, whereas, Abadi is not. Mahdi is a bridge, a conduit to the GOI, but is not from the large bloc; may have issues, and if there is opposition, may walk. Madhi has the support of Sistani; supports Sistani's plans/reforms, is a settlement candidate...(post 1 of 2....see following)... 10-4-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Mahdi is loved by the citizens and everyone in Iraq...Not committed to any political bloc...supports economic and monetary reforms, HCL for citizens, give citizens more purchasing power...wrote many report including his opposition to the auctions. Mahdi has 30 days to form his government...Mahdi supports the lifting of the 3 o's and will bust-open the reforms. Mahdi as PM will enhance security and stability and a suitable environment to allow all all economic and monetary reforms to continue. PM Abadi is still in charge of the government until Mahdi puts together his government in 30 days...let the dust settle. The most important thing to remember is to seat the government, not who is the PM..(post 2 of 2).. 1-4-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [How is the political map looking now that Barham Saleh has been announced as the President?] I don't see anything wrong with this pick. In fact, his immediate announcement of a choice in PM says a lot about how we can expect things to change. This is possibly even better than Abadi remaining PM... the status quo is due for a shakeup, and a "fresh face" can certainly do that now. Looking forward to the coming days! 10-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So I told everyone...that come this next constitutional deadline of Oct 2nd the flood gates would probably open wide with news and this election saga would wind down. So...October 2nd, we witnessed finally the election of the new president and he announced his candidate for prime minister minutes after these formalities were over based on the provisions of Article 76 Constitution. Now this candidate has to go before the parliament to be ratified and this should be more of formality than anything else. Article quote: "Douglas Silliman‏, the US ambassador to Iraq congratulated Mahdi and wished him the best of success to as he starts to form the new government of Iraq. The USA will work with the future PM to help his government meet the needs and aspirations of all the people of Iraq." So it appears that the USA does accept and will support this new prime minister Mahdi. This is very good for us.

As Of 6:20 PM EDT ... Later Postings will be added as a Reply below ... RON 10-3-2018 *** Dinar Guru NewsFlash *** It's official, late yesterday afternoon, Iraqi parliament elected Barham Salih as Iraq's next President. Salih quickly appointed Adil Abdul Mahdi as Prime Minister of Iraq. This was done FIFTEEN DAY EARLY! Now, under Iraqi's constitutional rules, Mahdi has 30 days to present the next Government of Iraq for parliament approval. Once approved, Mahdi will officially be the next Prime Minister of Iraq and the government will be seated. Several guru camps have described Mahdi as pro-economic reform. He as an economic background and is the former Oil Minister. This is all very exciting...stay tuned as the gurus continue to chime in about what Mahdi's impact might be on a possible dinar RV and/or rate change! The latest guru posts continue below... ************************** 10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch My take on this isn't "whether" it will happen, although I believe it will, or even "when" it will happen, although I believe it's soon. It's more about "how" I believe it can happen in a controlled self-managing manner that utilizes the natural inclinations of people to gravitate towards the advantageous position in their daily lives, as well as the "why" it will work on a macro scale. It's also about how they have been manipulating certain numbers to prepare for this in ways that may not be immediately apparent or obvious. Looking for an immediate benefit to the Iraqi citizens (they won't even want dollars at that point, let alone be requested to turn them in), and a fairly rapid positive tightening of the international exchange rates with the IQD. 10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana For the last few months, we've been in a holding pattern. We know what's coming, and it has been obvious that progress was being made, but let's be honest... it was a lonnnnng, slowwwww couple months waiting for SOMETHING to pop. As of yesterday, that slow moving train gave it's first puff of black smoke and the wheels made the first turn...this giant piece of history began inching forward, and we have some actual news...Iraq has a new president...Barham Salih. What's more, and this happened lightning fast... President Barham Salih has named Abdul Mahdi as Prime Minister...New Iraqi President Barham Salih had 15 days to name the new PM, but he did not wait. He did it immediately. There are obviously plans being set into motion, that were organized well in advance of this announcement. This is breaking news at this time, so the situation is fluid... but this was a major milestone, and we're hearing the train start to chug. CHOOO CHOOOOO!!! Let's go, Iraq...! 10-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur From what I'm getting from the sandbox the whole Mahdi for PM was done to appease Maliki and his Iranian backed goons...keeping them from continuing to throw political monkey wrenches into the process. As far as dinarland is concerned, knowing that GOI + HCL = RV, we don't care of Daffy Duck is the President and Bugs Bunny is the Prime Minister so long as we get a stable GOI. Remember CBI Governor Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Alaq has told us a stable environments what is needed to officially initiate the deletion of the zeros project. We also know they are about to flood the country with lower denominations that must have a new value to be utilized by the citizens. IMO, once we can officially confirm QI Card payments to all citizens from the oil revenues as promised (HCL), whatever it is we have been waiting on all these years will have began. 10-3-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I can tell you as of today Iraq is done of what it is they said they do...They had elected a new President. His name is Saleh...Even know though you may be reading Abdul-Mahdi is the new Prime Minister, I can tell you that Abadi is still going to be the Prime Minister for the next two years. I believe that is what I have been told by people in Iraq, and that seems to be what I trust at this time. He will be Prime Minister for a couple more years...The other thing...Iraq was supposed to do what they needed to do with the CBI. I have not heard a report of that, and personally I don’t think we will see it here yet, but supposedly they have gotten their CBI put together where sensibly there be a rate and they would be complete. ...Everything is pointing toward a release that should be this week...I am excited where we are. 10-3-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via future] ...." WE DO NOT CARE WHO THE PM IS...ALL MY TEAMS WANT TO SEE IS THE SITTING OF THE GOI." THEN TODAY CAME ALONG...TA DA...YOU NOW WILL SEE THIS GOI ANNOUNCE ITSELF...AND IT WILL NOT TAKE THE FULL 30 DAYS THEY ARE PERMITTED TO USE. AND THEN...IMO...WE WILL NOW SEE THE LD'S COME TO REPLACE THE OLD AND WORN OUT CURRENCY... SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE RELEASE OF THE SMALL CURRENCY CATEGORY NOTES THAT THE CBI TOLD US WOULD COME OUT IN THIS MONTH OF OCTOBER ACCOMPANIED BY A LIFTING OF THE 3 ZEROS FROM THEIR EXCHANGE RATE. AS I SAID...I DID NOT CARE WHO THE PM WAS...NOR DID THE CBI. BUT I SURE DO CARE ABOUT WHAT THE CBI IS NOW...PREPARED...TO DO. WHY? BECAUSE... IMO...THIS SITTING WAS / IS...THE FINAL SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT..!!! 10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 New President...Barham Salih appoints Adel Abdul Mahdi as the NEW PRIME MINISTER of IRAQ... 10-3-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL ...I ask that you all put the info you receive in a pot on the stove and turn the burner up. In the past the burner was set to low heat so the stew never was ready to eat. In the past few months the flame has been turned up higher each week. We are nearing a point when a delicious stew will be ready to eat. Don't discount the information you are hearing but note that bankers, etc have been ready for months with rates on the screens, etc... .... 🍷🍸 ....

10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch [Q? : Can you share in your opinion, does this thing end in 2018 or are you looking at 2019.] I'm expecting it to happen when they generally and broadly start releasing the new smaller denominations, which some have reported could begin this month (October), but likely not before the full government, including the Prime Minister, is seated. 10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Walkingstick ...In reality, they now have a Speaker of the house who's seating is in violation of their constitution ... A President of the Republic, who's seating is not in violation but breaks the customary role of revolving between the Kurdish parties... A prime Minister, nominee (Mahdi)... a clear violation, not coming from the largest bloc... Brought of out retirement as a "settlement candidate".. One that, the majority now supports...In closing, if.. Mahdi were to form a government... He has always been a staunch supporter of the monetary/ economic reform.. bringing the dinar to the regional and international level, ceasing the auctions and the distribution of oil proceeds to the people...This is what we're looking for.! 10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So its official...a new president of the Republic of Iraq...Barham Saleh. By the way the choices so far for president of parliament and president of the Republic of Iraq are pro economic reform. If Madhi gets in as prime minister we should see reforms start very soon including currency reform. Again, This is what we're looking for..! 10-2-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Ammar al-Hakim Barham Saleh captures the presidency today with 220 votes...Reports indicate that President Saleh has selected Mahdi as the Prime Minister-designate two hours after being confirmed President... 10-2-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty‏ Iraqi Parliament elects Barham Salih as Iraqi president. He is a former PM of Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government. 10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Anybody can be the next Prime minister of Iraq they could surprise us all... but first let them pick the President by Oct 2nd deadline according to New Speaker... constitutionally they have till Oct 10th...FYI..! 10-2-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty‏ Iraqi Parliament convenes to elect an Iraqi president but only 192 MPs present...Out of 329 MPs. Office of Iraqi Parliament says it will publish names of MPs who do not attend today's meeting. Speaker of Parliament says today's meeting will continue until a president of Iraq is elected. 10-2-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] "Prepared" - we Know it will happen...don't worry about when, it, IS happening...FAB 4, CBI ...ARE ready...looking for suitable Environment...POTUS will "Clean the Floor"...wants Iranian influence gone. (1). Teams strongly feel GOI should be seated...USA is "preparing" Iraq to seat its Gov. (2). In postion & "prepared" are the specimen sheets that the CBI sent to all the Central Banks around the world "prepared" for authenticity...Whales & Sharks, already using for trade, investing in Iraq & Contracts. Banks "prepared" ...ready for future customers...in position for rate change...Right Now! The RI of IQD has a date...POTUS has enough time, before the date, to deal with Iran... (3). ...so far Iraq spent 160 million to print currency... Teams are waiting for something this month...IMO..! 10-2-2018 Newshound /Intel Guru Mnt Goat The banks are now brokering the dinar (buying and selling) it just as the online internet brokers are that you may have ordered it from. Why not since there is lots of money to be made and the banks deal with currencies and like to make money...They are NOT trading the dinar...There is a difference between selling and buying as a broker from trading it. If the banks were trading the dinar it would be sold on the currency exchanges too. It is NOT. The banks can not legally trade the dinar until it is reinstated as a global currency...So for a short period during the ISIS war in Iraq, the US treasury asked that the banks do not sell or buy this currency since they were afraid it could be used to fund terrorism once again. We even witnessed in late 2015 that the CBI wanted to reinstate the dinar but again it was denied due to the ongoing war with ISIS. They told us it would happen in “EARLY 2017” but again the war was not yet over until LATE 2017. Then in 2018, came the election saga and here we stand still waiting.

As of 7:40 PM EDT....Any later Posts will be added as a reply about midnight....RON 10-1-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The only way the dinar can appreciate in value is if the CBI floats the currency to counter inflationary pressure created by an influx of investment/investors. Even then it will take time. I am still very hopeful that banking reforms will begin this year. Though it is contingent on the formation of the new GOI, passing laws. 10-1-2018 Newsdhound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Remember we are waiting for the “reinstatement” of the dinar first and as a result of this process they will have to raise the rate when they re-peg the dinar to the SDR basket from a sole de -facto peg to the US dollar, thus many call this an RV or revaluation. ...many just think it going to pop out at the banks with a new rate...Folks for the use of the term “international” currency it must be accompanied with a “formal” and “official” reinstatement. It can not just RV... 10-1-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 The Iraqi parliament is holding at 8pm tonight, a decisive session for the election of the President of the Republic... 10-1-2018 Intel Guru Jester BEEN WORKING WITH THE WOLF [GURU REDWOLF] OFF AND ON ALL WEEK...

BY THAT MEANING THE PROCESS IS MOVING ALONG...THE MAIN THING IS THE ONES THAT COUNT THINK WE ARE THAT CLOSE...Jester is a Joke in my opinion...I don't take him seriously..!

9-30-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 "A political source said Abadi is working intensively to reunite al-Sadr with al-Maliki, indicating that a "settlement" between parties will be picking "Adel Abdul Mahdi," as candidate for post of Prime Minister" Sit back relax and watch the it all play out folks. 9-30-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Saturday - A bank source reported rates on ...The dinar...flashing from 3.71 up to 4.81 and then graying out. I find this statement to very hard to believe - we've heard the same nonsense before. RON They expect final rates the first week of October if all continues as informed. I find this statement to hard to believe as well, but I wish it were true. Iraq TV reported an agreement from members of Parliament blacklisting anyone who participated in the Kurdistan referendum from holding the title of President and not inviting them to take part in Parliament. Kurds were told they have two days to select a candidate to represent them as their President or Saleh would be appointed...(post 1 of 2 - see following)... 9-30-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Sunday - Kurds did not yet agree on a candidate-select for president and dislike that Baghdad is making their decision for them. They left the meeting referencing unconstitutional activity and will not attend any Parliament meetings due to that fact. Without the Kurds, a quorum cannot be established to have official votes passed and they want the Federal Court to intervene. The saga between the Kurds and Baghdad continues....(post 2 of 2)... 9-30-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...monetary policy is never a random act...The promise of instant fortune! I assure you there will never be an overnight RV or RI. When the CBI begins to raise the value via float it'll be a tool used by the CBI the counter inflationary pressure. The good news is it will go up in value it just won't happen overnight.

As of 23:30 PM CDT 9-30-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...monetary policy is never a random act...The promise of instant fortune! I assure you there will never be an overnight RV or RI. When the CBI begins to raise the value via float it'll be a tool used by the CBI the counter inflationary pressure. The good news is it will go up in value it just won't happen overnight. 9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Right now we know the CBI is slowly, through a process, moving towards more and more use of the lower category notes. We see it in the news. The fact that they are now experiencing a severe shortage in the small categories tells us this process is working. Will the CBI be pumping other, newer smaller category notes in the coming weeks? I fully believe this is not what they are taking about in all these recent articles. They are not yet ready for this next step... We know that electronic banking, Point of Sale (POS), ATMs and other reforms have given them this capability now to utilize these small category notes. They have turned a milestone in the process and so now it is a matter of time until they launch even lower, lower denominations, eventually getting off the older 3 zero notes all together. 9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The Iraqi Banking/Finance Conference 2018 has been pushed off to Nov 4-5. Interesting. Iraq is notorious for being late on agreements. Far back as I can remember they were always six months or more delinquent on accomplishing what they had agreed to. Delaying the investment conference is in the best interest of Iraq because at this time because they are not ready...they have not form the government, passed the delinquent laws or held their Article IV Consultation with the IMF. 9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "Informed sources said that the political blocs agreed that Adel Abdul Mahdi will be prime minister and that the current Prime Minister Haider Abadi will serve as Vice President of the Republic" ...this could all change again and until they officially announce the nominee for PM, the fat lady has not yet sung. This is just a news article and not official. 9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Let’s say the dinar never revalues… (It would have to be some weird circumstance where it wouldn’t revalue.) If it doesn’t revalue it doesn’t mean you and I are wrong. We’re right. We’re watching everything you see. Think about this. You watch a football game, right? It has 4 quarters, 2 teams and there’s two minutes left on the scoreboard. One team has 49 points and the other team has 0. You kind of know what’s going to happen…there’s no way the other team is going to score 49 points in two minutes. It’s the same thing with Iraq…everything is set in place for them to do international business with their currency….(Post 1 of 2 Stay tuned for the rest of the story)... 9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …There’s no way around it. Sooner or later they are going to have to add value to their currency. They stated it. They want to do it. They told everybody what the value is. They said they wanted to get back to $1.17 and then after that they want to get to get back to $3.25. I don’t know if they’ll get exactly back to $3.25 but I know what their plan is…nothing has changed…the drama in the middle east has not changed that....(Post 2 of 2)... 9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat BANNING THE USE 3 ZERO NOTES? I “firmly” do NOT believe...they will stop taking these 3 zero notes (5,000, 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000) and will set a deadline for turning them in. This will NEVER occur since the CBI told these 3 zero notes will “coincide” with the smaller category notes for up to 10 years (or longer if needed). The goal of the CBI is simply to slowly let the economy drive the process and put the dependency on the use of smaller category notes and gradually introduce yet even smaller notes. But I will tell you there will come a point when they will have to reinstate the currency to the international global currency exchanges and trade the currency. This is mainly what we wait for. This is when we go to the banks. When this happens the rate will rise and the CBI will be forced to launch the other even small category notes. So what do you watch for next? ...I am watching for the launching of the 100 dinar note next.

9-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The CBI has just recently...told us that they fully intend to infuse yet even more of the 20, 500 and 1,000 notes into circulation. Why would they do this? They are doing this since these notes are now the most widely used notes in Iraq.They are even going after the worn-out notes and replacing them. They do not even mention the larger 3 zero notes anymore. But we know they are still there. We know that the CBI told us these older 3 zero notes will coincide with the smaller category notes for at least 10 years. ...(post 1 of 3....stay tuned)... 9-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Are there still the larger 3 zero notes in circulation? Yes of course...only 2/3 were taken out of circulation and so 1/3 still remain. Don’t forget also we hold some of this remaining 1/3. The CBI wants to retrieve these too. There are even some of the ATMs in Iraq that are still dispersing them. But this is short lived not the norm or the trend the CBI wants to push the monetary policy towards. These ATMs are only temporary and will change over as more of the smaller categories are dispersed by the CBI in the coming weeks and months. We know that the denominations the CBI still has to yet disperse are the 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 notes and coins...the 100 dinar denomination is probably the most likely note to be issued next...(post 2 of 3....stay tuned)... 9-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Many keep asking me - Will this RV ever occur? ...it will soon and is actually underway. ...We know (since they CBI itself has told us) that the reinstatement will be at a much higher rate and the currency will be re-pegged off the sole de facto peg to the US Dollars to an “SDR basket” of five currencies, one of which will be the US Dollar. We know (since the CBI itself has told us) that they want to move the Iraqi dinar back to its “glory days”...the 1930’s and 1940’s.. We can then look up the past rate of this period and see it was steady at around $4.86 USD per 1 dinar. This leads me then to believe that this is around the stabilizing, normalized rate that the CBI intends to have dinar someday soon....(post 3 of 3)... 9-27-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 The Central Bank of Iraq, in conjunction with the Government of Iraq, is in the process of going through what is called a “Monetary Reform.” Now that’s an “MR.” Okay? Now within the MR, consist, some other initials. Three of them in fact. The next one is what’s called the RD, and they’re already done with that. That’s called the redenomination. You know instead of a…a…a…a, $100 dollar bill in your pocket? How about if you had 5 $20 dollar bills in your pocket? Well, you redenominated that $100 bill into 5 $20 dollar bills. In other words, they want to get rid of the 3 zero notes and bring in the small notes; that’s the redenomination process. ..(post 1 of 3....stay tuned)... 9-27-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 And as far as I’m concerned, they are well past that as well too. Not only in the education to the citizens, but also in printing it. ...You saw millions and millions that they spent in printing new currency. ...They even told you which category... Very clearly. And we established the difference in the lower denoms, which have a space, a Specimen stamp on the new ones that are leaving the borders of Iraq! And where are they going? Oh yes! To all the other Central Banks in Iraq! [IMO] The Iraqi currency by the Central Bank of Iraq and many world entities along and in conjunction with the government of Iraq, are going through are… are going through a Monetary Reform, “MR.” ...(post 2 of 3....stay tuned)... 9-27-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Inside the Monetary Reform is a re-denomination. Which I believe is also well established. ...After that comes, the third thing. Actually the third and fourth are in combination, and that might be what would cause some trouble. It is the re-instatement and the revaluazation, of the Iraqi Dinar. ...so in conjunction is the RI, the reinstatement, and the revaluazation, because once you reinstate the currency, it’s in position, either at that moment to revalue, or, it’s in position to revalue very shortly afterwards. How is it revalued? By the lifting of the 3 zeros of the exchange rate. Yeah. There is the Monetary Reform that is introducing a redenomination and that...will bring forth a reinstatement and a revaluazation. The RI, the RV can occur in conjunction, instantly together, or they can occur once and then the other one. But, it would be a Reinstatement first, that would then bring forth an RV....(post 3 of 3)... 9-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M.

However we did hear from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq today, and we heard that all the official notifications with Iraq with their Prime Ministership of Abadi will actually take sort of a role of more powers if you will. More things have been given to him as Prime Minister than are typical...That position and everything having to do with their new Parliament all of that along with CBI, everything we been looking for will be done on Monday, Iraq time...It is all good, but they are so far along that we know what is going on.

This will adversely effect the economy of Iraq unless Iraq’s Central Bank accelerates the measures to protect the dinar…” So how do you do that? Well you raise the value of the dinar and you keep up with the interest rates of the US Dollar. What do you have to do to raise the value of the dinar? You start taking more dinar off the market. Or if its already off the market, start adding value…Again, another door of opportunity for the value to be changed. And why do they want the value to be changed? Why do they want the value to go up? …they want Iraqi citizens to do business around the world. That’s why they’ve been doing deals and all that stuff with these international entities, organizations, institutions…it’s all there. Black and white.

Needing to have employees qualified for the reconstruction was (imo) green lighted.. The money has to be their in advance. My view it is and will be with no issues, and with an appropriate rate for international banking systems with the latest technologies and with the highest regulations and transparencies that meet the same.. The best of the best, are there now and more will follow.. imo..! 9-28-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 “...something happened with the BIS family. And...With the WTO...The World Trade Organization. And the Bank of International Settlements. Now if you don’t know, the BIS is the Mother of all Central Banks on this planet Earth. And the Central Bank of Iraq, is one of them.

Revalue. ...And something happened with them? ...Remember I told you...that there’s a date...for the lifting of the 3 zeros to add value to the currency...I don’t know it...But in my opinion, there is a date. Well, if something happened with the BIS, and CBI, it seems to be it’s because that date is very close. ...(post 1 of 2)... 9-28-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Okay, something happened with the BIS. Something happened with the WTO. Something happened with the CBI. Did you notice all of the sudden a few days ago, the CBI comes out and they says “...We’re just going to push the American Dollar away. We don’t want the American Dollar....we’re removing it.” ...we’re gonna ...start...paying our citizens...salary, electronically...and only with the Iraqi Dinar.” “And also, we’re doing some other things with only the Iraqi dinar.” ...We don’t want to use the American Dollar. We’re removing it. Now do you understand what that is? With the MCPs the auctions? Well, you should be jumping for joy! A relationship between the American Dollar and the IQD will develop, but it will be in a basket of currencies. It won’t be in an auction of the CBI. The auctions are in wonderful position, right now, at this moment, for a reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. ...(post 2 of 2)... That's all folks...!

9-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat UPDATE ON THE ELECTION SAGA: The news period since Monday has been very slow. I suspect that come Oct 2nd the flood gates will open up from the news media. But still no news of when they intend to vote on the new prime minister position. Again, I am telling everyone that there is some entity that is holding back and stalling the formation of the government. I keep asking myself why are they waiting until Oct 2nd constitutional deadline to vote on the president? ...So we do not see any date set yet for the announcement or voting on the prime minister position. We know they intend to vote on the president but not the prime minister on Oct 2nd. We have read a few articles from MPs and legal experts they would prefer to have this vote for PM also in the same session when taking the vote on the president. 9-26-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Article: “Intelligence sources: unknown parties behind the crisis of small currencies and the Central Bank reveals the truth” Quote: "He said that "the scarcity of small groups of the Iraqi currency in the market is a temporary situation because the central bank cut large amounts of them and once it starts pumping in the markets gradually ending the crisis." [WHY CBI WILL DO THAT?] ONE REASON...TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THE CITIZENS AND TO TELL THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD...TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENCY AND THE MR [MONETARY REFORM] OF THE IQD. 9-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty [via Guru chattels] Article: "Parliament ends its session in the presence of ministers of health, housing and water resources" Quote:" ...the second of October next is the last day to elect a president in accordance with the constitutional times ...." Iraqi Speaker of Parliament sets 2 October as final date to select new Iraqi President. 9-26-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Short update: October 2nd is a critical date. Longer version: We're still slogging through the election/appointment process. I said weeks ago that this wasn't going to be a fast process, but we're nearing the end of it. You'll notice I just added the term "appointment" to the election situation... They made a big deal of "counting and recounting" the "votes", they came to within a very small percentage of accuracy on the ballot totals, so it should have been a no-brainer who the winners were, correct? Ah-ha, nope! Not in this game, my friends! Iraq calls their process a democracy, but anyone with half a brain knows it's not. This isn't bad for us. It might be frustrating and unfair to the Iraqi people...(post 1 of 2....see following)... 9-26-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The good news is that we're nearing the end of this 3 ring circus of Iraqi "elections". A few "winners" will be announced (selected, appointed, anointed, or whatever you want to call it), and progress will resume. I mentioned that October 2nd is a critical date. Here's why: Parliament is set to vote in a President on that date...Keep in mind that the "Presidency" is much less important than the Prime Minister seat, in my opinion... And with the understanding that the entire process is rigged, I'm really looking forward to the very real possibility of a "*SUDDENLY*" event where Abadi retains his seat and this rocketship gets it's fuse lit! My summary today is simple... we could be a short week or two from seeing major events. I'm looking forward to it..! post 2 of 2)... 9-26-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Continue preparations for the reconstruction and economic development summit" Quote: "The summit will be a conference on the sidelines of the Golden Opportunity Exhibition to meet with the world's largest companies and investors looking to work in Iraq as well as international organizations" Sounds like the green light was given? Those that are asking for help have been shown evidence of the ability of those participating in Iraq, now... Imo... I mean that there are already international firms in Iraq, even very large ones competing for major contracts, that are above and beyond those out of the conference in Kuwait lined up in February, if not working now or were already? 9-26-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Finally we are at the point what is going on Iraq is accomplished. What that means is that for once we got Iraq agreed to do everything they need to do...and they just need to make their rate known internationally. The word is they are supposed to do that tomorrow [Wednesday] for Iraq for the Middle East and we are suppose to learn about it on Thursday. ...Most of the banks have gone dark, gone quiet...Occasionally we get one or two things from our bank contact that gives us pretty good idea on the timing...it is just a matter of time. We are right where we need to be, and I look forward to shortly what should be happening. 9-26-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [In view of the commitment by Iraq to provide timely and accurate data to the IMF on the exchange system in the future, the Executive Board decided NOT TO REQUIRE any further remedial action in connection with the breach of obligations under Article VIII, Sec 5.] If you're thinking they are in IMF Article VIII you are wrong.

Haidar Hussein Al-Tohma / Al-Furat Center for Development and Strategic Studies" Quote: "The two biggest trading partners of Iraq, Turkey and Iran face economic sanctions and severe financial crises that may alter the profile of existing economic ties with Iraq." I will suggest that WS [Guru Walkingstick], brought this in for a very good reason. It is describing a view that is taken by, in what is actually happening in the local region and that apparently has been well thought out for the future of our investment we have in the IQD. For the people of Iraq, and even those surrounding her borders. Even painful, as it may be for two or three Countries specifically, it is happening. The effects will be profound...The increasing of purchasing power now is huge based on present exchange rate mechanisms in place, wait until Iraq goes live with the "New Currency" with an International Rate...The two or three that didn't play ball? Oh man.. ~ imo~! 9-25-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick 1). It is our understanding that the BIS as of right now is dealing with the CBI with debt settlements, starting from a particular date & are to be paid in IQD only... 2). Trying to clarify this right now but it seems that they are being required to do so at this time, WTO is also in the scope...They could have asked for this a long time ago but not possible because they were using US Dollars...and because they did not have a date for the RI...They can not pay at a program rate but, they have made payments before that can not be accepted/ redeemed as payment, until a particular date and time! Something different going on with the BIS...likely because it is an international debt settlement, not local... ie: local contracts... EXCELLENT for our Investment..!!! This is HUGE NEWS...!!! 9-25-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via sunny] Something happened in the last two weeks...I said something happened with the BIS and WTO. The BIS is the mother of central banks on this earth. CBI is one of them... I told you there is a date for the releasing of the three zero’s. I don’t know it but IMO there is a date. If something happened with the BIS or CBI it seems to me it’s because that date is close. ...CBI told the BIS, “By a certain date we will be adding back our currency. We will start paying our debts and want you to accept our payments. We want world trade with our currency. We already told everybody we printed the small notes and will introduce them. We want to make it formal.” ...(post 1 of 2....stay tuned)... 9-25-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 And IMO opinion...the BIS accepted this agreement with them. BIS agreed to accept Iraq’s payments in their own currency. CBI came out with an article, “we don’t want the USD.” Doing some other things with only the Iraqi Diner. You should be jumping with joy! CBI told the BIS they wanted them to pay their debts and only with their currency (the dinar)... the BIS set up meeting with the WB, US, WTO, etc. IMO they met. The CBI did this on behalf of the GOI because only the CBI can go to the BIS and make this type of a deal for the GOI...For the GOI to pay their own bills in their own darn currency! ...(post 2 of 2)... 9-25-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament did meet on Tuesday, but no vote for President was taken. The Speaker of the House announced the 2nd of October to be the determining date for the selection of the President of the Republic. 9-25-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CONSTRUCTION: THE VOTING SESSION ON THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL PROCEED SMOOTHLY AND SMOOTHLY" "...THE SESSION OF PARLIAMENT NEXT TUESDAY and allocated to vote on the candidate of the post of President of the Republic will go smoothly and easily ..." so in one article they say that they are going to wait until Oct 3rd to vote on the new president. Then the legal experts say this is against the specified timing requirement of the constitution. Then soon after this article pops out which is telling us they moved the voting of the president to Tuesday’s session [9-25-18]. So Tuesday, according to this article is not just about the Basra issues. So they have our heads spinning…..Will they change their minds again come Tuesday?

As of 3:03 PM EDT 9-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat "OCTOBER 3RD SET OF THE NEXT PARLIAMENTARY MEETING" (will they wait that long?) According to Article 72 of the Constitution the constitutional period for the election of the President of the Republic will be within one month of the first session of the current parliament which was held on 3 September. This brings us to October 3rd as the final cutoff date to elect these last two positions of president (and his 3 deputies) and prime minister. Just recently they told us in an article that they intend to extent this process out right up until the deadline of October 3rd, the date of a meeting of parliament when they intend to conduct these elections...(post 1 of 2....see following)... 9-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Oh – but wait a second later on Sunday an agenda came out for the next session and it was scheduled for Sept 25. The agenda did NOT include electing a new president or prime minister so I am guessing this will be held off until the Oct 3rd meeting. ...Then came this article on early Monday Sept 24th: "The last date for the election of the new president is on October 10 next, according to the constitutional timing,” said Harb, for “Iraq’s News”. ...So as the election saga continues…We are reading many articles now from the news media about the timing of the voting on the new president. It is very confusing as the article are conflicting each other. So what will they actually do? We also know that the selections of candidates for these remaining positions is underway. Any candidate will need at least 220 votes to win any votes in parliament....(post 2 of 2)... 9-24-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 From Sunday...Iraqi TV reporting that all parties are saying that they agree on Saleh as the next president and will vote for him on Tuesday. They are also reportedly stating that Abadi is the Best Candidate for the position of Prime Minister... 9-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty In Iraqi election news, leader in Sairoon coalition: None of the political coalitions & alliances have decided on a candidate for PM. What is being circulated in the press should not be focused on.

9-23-2018 Newshound Currency365 Iraq has until Oct 10th to pick the President but lets see if they do it early if so we should see the Prime minister picked in October/November...Sadr and others in a meeting tonight about Reforms and Reconstruction. 9-23-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 Article: "Private banks see the appropriate time to launch the initiative "trillion dinars" imo... sounds like it's time for the banks to be real banks and make money by doing traditional loans and providing other services ... instead of just making easy money on the spread from what they bought usd for in the currency auction ... and what they got in the street market ... there was no need to work so hard when all they needed to do was be a money-changer and resell the usd for big profits ...those days of high spreads are ended with 2% compliance ... and the pending closure/reduction of that auction window ... bringing that true value back to the iqd can't hurt either. 9-23-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...There are still more days in this month so lets see what happens...if we go into next month, we go into next month...will you join me in our study. I believe there are many things behind the scenes to release the Monetary Reform of the Iraqi dinar. ...Very important right now is the BIS...the BIS is working, I believe, with the GOI for Monetary Reform...I think that's significant for them to come in at this stage. IMO, the WTO is doing the same thing right now. We should look at what the BIS and WTO is doing with the government of Iraq because IMO the Central Bank of Iraq has already done what it needs to do with the fab 4. It's interesting to see the BIS came in NOW. ...I told you IMO, there is a date for the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar...IMO, if that date is getting closer, then so should the BIS. 9-23-2018 Intel Guru Jester [It seems it is a timing thing and when it gets here it will get here.] ...

THEY DO NOT GIVE DATES OR RATES EITHER... IF THEY DID THIS WOULD BE EASIER... HAHAHHAH... [I remember they said it would be done well before election day.] ...NO THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY SAID... THEY SAID THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.... BUT THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE DONE PRIOR TO THAT... 9-23-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Dawa leaders meet in first step towards Maliki-Abadi reconciliation..."

9-22-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 ...not much news of significance being reported ... yet ... does not mean that nothing is going on beyond the articles ... standing by ... imo 9-22-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Kurdish forces agree on Barham Saleh as the only candidate for the president...Source of the Dawa Party: a clear nomination for Abadi as prime minister for a second term...USA pulling strings again lol and will continue until there is a break in the system. 9-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The news these last couple days is short. Right now Iraq is at a standstill again in trying to find prime minister candidates. This is the hold up right now. They have not yet set a date for the next parliament meeting to elect the next president and prime minister. We wait for news. 9-22-2018 Intel Guru Footforward The political situation in Iraq...I couldn't care less who wins. I don't feel it has any bearing on when the RV happens...It doesn't matter who's in power in Iraq for this to happen...the government of Iraq is not in control of this...they haven't been since day one. When Iran's nuclear sites get hit...that's when the RV will happen... within days of that happening. I know this [the RV] is going to happen. 9-22-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Regardless of what government is formed and who fills the particular leadership roles, so long as it is stable, the CBI should be good to proceed forward. On another front, a recent post attributed to [Guru] "Walkingstick" reads: "The lower denomination/s and or coin/s will be not put into circulation, arbitrarily... Prior, to the release ...of any, bank note/s and or coin/s into circulation... Iraqis/ we will, read of ... it will be in print ... The when, why, exchange -rate, description/s, photos of...etc:" This makes perfect sense -- that they will lay their cards on the table openly just prior to releasing the new lower denominations -- in order for the project to remove the zeros to proceed forward. Without those explanations and examples, it could easily be very confusing to the citizens of Iraq. With the explanations and examples, it will be quite easily understood. In any case and barring unforeseen circumstances, various public statements from the CBI lead me to believe we'll all have our answers to our years-long questions before the Autumn is out...Trying very hard to walk a tightrope here, to say without saying...

9-21-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Abadi appears to be making a last ditch effort to rally support, despite him announcing last week that he would not cling to power following a decree by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani that Iraqis shouldn’t support politicians who have recently been in power. 9-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the big questions now is this – will the CBI do away with the currency window altogether and then just let the banks loan out the money? But what is the purpose of the currency auctions anyhow? They are to convert the dinar to US dollars to use to pay for imported goods and services. This process was done as part of the monetary sanctions by the IMF put on Iraq. Why do they still need to do this? Technically they don’t. Iraq has been free of all monetary sanctions for some time now. So why is the CBI still operating in the process? (Part 1 of 3) 9-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...The CBI is playing it very safe. The governor...this past weekend told us that there are still STABILITY reasons as to why they are not moving ahead with the project to delete the zeros. ...this process is a calculated process and takes time to set up events ahead of time and work its way to the reinstatement. It is NOT something you just decide to do today and they trigger it tomorrow. One event is the launching of the lower, lower smaller category notes and coins. This must be gradual. Right now their obstacle is having a STABLE government that will support the needed laws to coincide with the monetary & economic reforms for this purpose. (post 2 of 3....stay tuned) 9-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Even with the current US sanctions against Iran we see the immediate necessity to change over to dinar and use it with their middle eastern trading partners. But to do this will mean reinstating the currency to the global markets/exchanges. ...Don’t you think the CBI would have done it by now if they could. ...But if they begin down that road of launching the lower, lower category notes they need full assurances that the approvals will not be yanked again in the middle of the process and the PTB will actually do their part too and complete the reinstate part of the process. Can you see why the CBI hesitates? Without the reinstatement the entire process fails and the newer lower category notes become worthless on the streets. Billions spent on this effort would be worthless. (post 3 of 3) 9-21-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...Don’t they want the rate out? Yes, they do, but guess what the holdup has been? They have a number of people in Iraq, bad guys, that are still needing to be picked up, arrested, and dealt with. They have a limited amount of time to do that. They have been doing it, but they need to complete that. That is why they haven’t put it out in the Gazette and why it hasn’t been completed in our point of view. It has to do with the arresting and handling of those arrests. 9-21-2018 Intel Guru Bruce (Q? Is Iraq still in the equation?) The unfortunate answer is Yes they are. They are still a factor. They have been given an ultimatum today by our administration to have all this stuff done meaning temporary election, their CBI up and out with the new rate, to have HCL talked about and discussed and put out in the open. All these things dealing with Iraq is to be done. The ultimatum is for this to be done by Monday. Iraq has said they expect everything we just talked about to be in the Gazette on Saturday. That is their normal publication date. It could be in sooner digital. It should be in the Gazette on Saturday. 9-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur [...if the equation is and always has been GOI + HCL = RV then why did we not get the RV 6 months ago when they had it?] Because IMO, until we actually see documented proof that all the citizens in all the 19 provinces (especially Kurdistan and Basra) are being paid a percentage of the oil revenues, there has not been a full blown activated and, most importantly, IMPLEMENTED Hydro Carbon Law (HCL) in Iraq. It has been activated on and off for years, but IMO never fully implemented, the implementation (along with the new GOI) of which IMO will be a major trigger point for whatever we've been waiting on all these years.

9-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...when it comes to HCL how do they sell the oil they are pumping out without having HCL in place ? I. Your last update it does sound promising after all most 9 yrs waiting...] I still think we are in a promising situation right now! "How" they are selling oil is exactly why they need the HCL in place. Without the HCL in place, their entire process is antiquated and inefficient, and prone to argument about profit sharing. Once the HCL is finalized, they can focus on other things... that's why it's so important. So, the answer is this: poorly, inefficiently, and not meeting their potential. 9-19-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq participates in the meeting of the Board of Governors of central banks" This meeting has to have been one very interesting meeting and I'll bet it has significant information being passed along between members. Interesting that the BIS has chosen to not publish Iraq's Exchange rate to the US Dollar yet this year on their website for daily nor monthly, quarterly etc.. They quit in qrtr 4/2017... 9-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We have two pending issues before we will see an RV. One is a resolution on who, if anyone, will take Abadi's place. I'm feeling more and more confident that Abadi may very well retain his position, and that's a great feeling! Without getting too deep into it, because I've certainly spent a fair amount of time on this topic over the last couple months, I feel like he's a great option for the country and it would be much more expedient for our purposes if he were to retain his seat. The other issue, of course, is HCL. There are some rumors floating around that it is "done"... I have not seen any evidence to back that up, and that's my stance. ...(Post 1 of 2....see following).. 9-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Steady progress has been made, but until the first item is cleared up we really cannot expect anyone to stick their necks out and "get it done". Until they know where the money is going, they aren't going to be signing any deals! And until they have a new PM locked in, they can't be certain where the money is going to go. It's as simple as that. As far as a "timeline" on this situation... I don't know. It could be a week, or a month, or more. But they will not go forever without an official sitting Prime Minister, so as soon as that is settled, that is when we can expect things to move forward. Items of note: 1. I like progress. It appears that the Speaker role has been filled. Good news there! Keep up the good work, Iraq... check those items off the list until we're ready for launch. (post 2 of 2)... 9-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I think we are as close as we have ever been, but we did get somewhat delayed...by the storm, Florence. I am hearing late this afternoon we did get confirmation from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq that the HCL has been complete. It is done. I don’t know whether it means they paid out of it yet. ...I know we are expecting that. We are expecting some news about the CBI. We are expecting some news quite possibly about Abadi and the Prime Ministership in the Gazette...we found out in more detail that Abadi will be the Prime Minister for Iraq for the next two years....(post 1 of 2....stay tuned)... 9-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Now when it comes to the CBI and the actual rate of the Iraqi dinar, you know they won’t put that rate out online where we can see it. I think it will be a little bit higher rate than we thought it was. We have known that for months that even though they have an in country rate and all of that, they got it on their Qi cards, and they are being paid, all of that, none of that is going to be revealed to us in any accurate detail based on the value of the dinar until we are ready to start...It won’t happen for us until they are absolutely ready to let this go here in the United States... We are looking very strong for the next 24 to 48 hours. I do believe they want it to go this week still...Be on high alert the next couple of days...(post 2 of 2).. 9-19-2018 Intel Guru 12thman Just got off a call with our group and one of our US political insiders. This person made it very clear that 10-12 days out from the Mid terms was their goal. They want a positive US environment... Stability and progress, not just in the M.E., is key. It's just as important if not more here in our own country. He went on to state that you will see lots of little things leading up to some big articles and statements made by key figures as we draw closer to Nov. 9-19-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE US IS CALLING ALL THE SHOTS WITH IRAQ IF SO, DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THEY DON'T WANT IRAQ TO RI THEIR CURRENCY? THE US IS LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIMING TO DO THIS... THE RI DOES NOT NEED PARLIAMENT...DO WE NEED THE GOVT SEATED? NO..!

9-18-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni This is not a RI...its a float meaning the dinar will rise to counter inflationary pressure created by an influx of investment capital. Nobody is coming yet to the party. They need to get some laws passed first as well as the new government in place to create the conditions favorable to investors. Nothing is happening until these things are done. I also believe the CBI will want to have its Article IV Consultation with the IMF to go over the banking system and directives since last year. In effect to make sure they have accomplished what was required before making any such transition. I remind people we had a member write the IMF on this matter and were told the consultation would not occur until after the formation of the new GOI. I hate to say it, but it seems obvious with the delayed formation of the government nothing will happen until at least next year with the currency...(post 1 of 2....stay tuned)... 9-18-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni As stated in the 2012 Article IV Consultation the plan by the IMF refers to the gradual appreciation of the dinar as a result of the Balassa-Samuelson effect. So what is that? Balassa-Samuelson Effect Definition | Investopedia: "The Balassa-Samuelson Effect is a phrase that describes the result when countries with high productivity growth also experience high wage growth, which leads to higher real exchange rates. The Balassa-Samuelson Effect suggests that an increase in wages in the tradable goods sector of an emerging economy will also lead to higher wages in the non-tradable (service) sector of the economy. The accompanying increase in inflation makes inflation rates higher in faster-growing economies than it is in slow growing, developed economies." ,,,(post 2 of 2)... 9-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Alalak talks about NEXT month...meaning October to do something with the paper notes. What is this action? I quote from the article he says “to compensate for the existing small categories damaged”. So he does specifically say to replace the EXISTING small categories meaning 50 250 and 500 notes. 9-18-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...I have told you for many months Abadi Will be the p.m. please do not ask me that question anymore simply tell the other gurus...they are wrong ...Thank you kindly. 9-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Press Conference quote: "...THE CENTRAL BANK HAS A FUTURE PLAN TO RESTRUCTURE THE IRAQI CURRENCY, INCLUDING THE DELETION OF ZEROS, but that plan needs deliberate steps, and a stable situation in order not to be exploited in the fraud and other." Alalak confirms that the CBI needs stability to continue with the project to delete the zeros. ...Do you think Iraq is now politically stable? If it were why wouldn’t Alalak just tell us it was stable and they were moving forward again with the project to delete the zeros... 9-18-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 I always said...news about lower denoms always came out end of Sept and start of Oct was chatter of lifting 3 zeros, this was from official sources...AND they said the only appropriate time to lift the zeros is at the start of the New Year...OH YES...LIFT ZEROS MEANS REMOVE THE CURRENCY FROM THE MARKET PLACE... AND THE EXCHANGE RATE...

As of 6:55 PM EDT..... 9-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Quote: "The governor of the Central Bank, Ali Alaak, on Monday, the existence of a plan to delete zeros from the local currency, noting that "this plan needs to deliberate steps, so as not to be exploited in the fraud." ...just the fact that the CBI is now talking about this project again is good news to us. We see it was in fact halted in April 2018. Surprised? Like I keep saying the CBI is in charge of the reinstatement not some banks in the US. 9-17-2018 Intel Guru Bluwolf [via OOOTAH] "There's Never Been A Delay", We are at a minute to minute..! 9-17-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 The sanctions that were put on the Iraqi dinar. The program rate. ...They’re expecting the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar to be effected because of the resilience and the stability of the economic system. What more do you want...? ...To know the date. To know everything precisely the way you want it. Even though it’s right in front of your face...They don’t have a deficit! Their budget is ready to go! Their economy is in high gear! Their monetary system is secure..! ...(post 1 of 2....stay tuned)... 9-17-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...In my opinion... because WE the United States of America are calling the shots...and it can even be proven now...because we the United States of America are telling them to seat the government...Are telling them when to pass laws...Because all of this is right in front of us. I am led strongly to believe the wording of NEXT MONTH... they’re talking about October! ...they’re going to introduce the new small notes and the coins. Next month… Article quote: “The Governor of the Central Bank said: The banks plans are to modernize the currency in circulation and the deletion of the zeros.” ...they will lift the 3 zeros from the exchange rate, because they’ve lifted as much of the 3 zeros from the streets that they could, physically...(post 2 of 2).... 9-17-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Central Bank Governor for {morning}: cash reserve is close to $ 60 billion" Interesting article...Obviously the value of the dinar is the subject of some planning and discussion. What, if any, of the declarations of the CBI are reliable? What does it mean for our investment? Quotes: " ...it is not right to make changes under unstable conditions completely, ..."; " ...the central bank has a future plan for the restructuring of the Iraqi currency, including the deletion of zeros, but that plan needs to deliberate steps, and a stable situation completely in order not to exploit it in the acts of fraud and others."
