CBI appears to be reducing the supply of USD on the streets.

yup, yup.. and there is only one reason they would want to do that!!, first help reduce inflation by putting more dependance on national currency and along with that is the need to RV that so said currency ;)

CHA-CHING. lets get this thing done...

CBI Sell dollars at their auction, not dinar.

You are correct sir. Seems kinda odd that they say they want to de-dollarise the country, then they flood the market with greenbacks. ( Unless this is another attempt to pull in large dinar notes, which I personally doubt, as I think enough "in country" large notes to satisfy them have already been pulled in). Iraq would make one hellova reality show.

ok guys I am more confused than ever. Please straighten out this newbie. Are they buying or selling dollars at the auctions.

They are selling dollars at the auctions.....its a way for the ministry of finance to get dinar for the USD they bring in from oil sales....

So they take the USD, sell it to the CBI for dinar, then the CBI turns around and sells the USD for a profit....

None of the currency involved in the auctions is coming from the streets of Iraq....

If you go to the actual paper / web page the article is from they list the figures a couple of different times and ways but the exact same figures that the CBI web site shows for today ($121,524,000) but the article lists it in a right to left format, not the way we look at dollars and cents with the $ sign then the dollars and cents its the exact same amount just reveresed if that makes any sense. Screw up in iraqi ease and english format I do believe. :rolleyes: "($) (000, 524, 121) and total sales promotions ($) No. " You can look at the article for verification from the original link. Just mho

Wouldn't this money eventually filter down to the street? I know much is bank to bank transactions but I would think it would work its way down.

They are buying dollars with dinar? Sure you have that right?

Doh!

That's what I get for texting before coffee.

It was the "pulls the USD off the street" that messed me up.
