DiNaR DoCtOr Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 And the rate in the budget will be......1166. This is good news, and positive to see a step forward, but this is not the RV. I assume everyone understands that, but I do not blame people for being excited that they are moving forward.

George Hayduke Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not getting excited yet, I've been in this going on 9 years now and I know how these people are. They say one thing one day and the next day they didn't say it. Not being negative here just not getting excited yet not until it is published in the Gazzette.. My hat is off to all of you 'old timers' I don't know how you've gotten this far without taking someone hostage along the way. I've only been in it for three years and I can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to throw my monitor accross the room But, this really is great news and makes up for a lot of frustrating times. March 14th will mark 366 days for me on this board - it'd be nice if it RV'd by then: Vegas Bound Baby! GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigmeister Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yes.. thank you. This is a good article, but the point being is that this does not mean that this automatically means that Shabibi will take advantage of this optional measure to curb inflation, although, regardless of the budget he certainly always has the option to do so. I think that it is important to put the article that you posted into perspective, and to not take it out of context. In the 2011 articles regarding the budget last year, they are discussing inflation, and measures they have to combat inflation, which as we know is the use of the exchange rate policies. The core inflation rate is only about 6% currently, and they have not discussed the concerns about rising inflation as they were last year, but it is still certainly something to consider. It is for this reason that I say we should not get ourselves over hyped about the annual budget trap these sites fall into, but rather look to inflation if we are going to go by these articles. Is inflation rising to a worrisome point where they would need to take corrective measures through the exchange rate policies to combat it? That should be the question and detail we should look to at this point rather than the budget approval in my opinion.... No it does not mean it would automatically happen, that is true. I am optimistically hopeful, I am wating to see what does happen. It would seem in some of the #'s in the budget as being rather low, high in dinar, but low dollar wise. A higher rate would make more sense. But I am not wearing diapers yet! If ya know what I mean. This is my opinion, Iraq is like the date you couldn't wait to get, and when you show up at her door, she wasn't home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note though, this article is definitely something promising that is related to this budget topic that I did like to see though.. http://www.alsabaah.com/ArticleShow.aspx?ID=22263 "Today’s vote on the budget after the agreement on exchange of grants for pensioners and supporting the development of the regions of Baghdad – Alaa al-Tai government has allocated six trillion dinars for the launch of different loans, mostly without the benefit and the other away from the operations, “usury”, in a move aimed at supporting segments of society." That is definitely the type of thing I like to see! More money being allocated for loans is a wonderful thing, and is definitely a step in the right direction for their economy! This is the type of information I like to see coming out of the budgets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 ***/// I'm suspect that their inflationary woes are more urgent than they've let on. The merchants and folks both acknowledge it - how bad is it truly? Perhaps they don't want us to know this so we get less outta the chute.... yet they're able to instill a tolerable interim 'curbing' of the thing as an appeasement....
