Dalite Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 So, what's your thought on this Yota? With 60+ billion USD worth of Foreign Reserves to cover he deficits, why wouldn't they approve it. The problem is that for every 10 billion $ USD that they drain from the CBI's reserves causes a 10 billion USD reduction in what they can use to set the exchange rate for any Currency Reform. Budgets, tanks, airplanes, a new Camel..pretty soon you're talking about real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unirod Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Am I reading this right? ZERO interest loans to agricultural developement? This is exactly the kind of infrastructure domestic developement we are looking for that adds real value to the Dinar. YES !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Government Bonds ) and would this money come from the reserves? US borrows quite a bit from the FED ( A trillion dollars a year ) I'm not sure by any means, but I don't think we have reserves close to this? So if the CBI sells these bonds to foreign countries it should not effect the reserves. Whats your take on this? Thanks Thanks for the article YOTA!

danny55 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm sorry but I'm relatively new to all this--- but doesn't setting a 138 trillion dinar budget for 2013 mean that the value of the dinar is going to stay exactly where it is now? I don't understand. Could someone shed some light on this for me, please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has not changed ( besides 4 ips in january ) for almost 4 years now. There is no way Iraq would budget with a different than current rate. Just won't happen. The interesting part to this article is firstly that it has passed ahead of schedule and another good policy is the zero interest loans pointed out by Unirod.

RVPleaseToday Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The budget isn't based on the reserves. They have to maintain the reserves to maintain the exchange rate. The budget is based on income, and at this point it is the money they make from oil sales. The budget is not funded by their reserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that as well about the about the zero interest loans. The strange thing is Shabbibi has had the reserves to back the Dinar in order to raise the value then the question becomes why has he waited so long to do so? currency manipulation which he is being charged with perhaps? i dont know if its true or not but its looking more and more convenient for shabbs that the dinar has only rose 4 pips in 4 years with the largest amounts of reserves in their history hmm you have got to wonder why the delay?

So if the CBI sells these bonds to foreign countries it should not effect the reserves. Whats your take on this? Thanks Thanks for the article YOTA! The CBI has consistently fought to be able to fully back the exchange rate. When they announced that they had 130% of the reserves necessary to back the rate, at that time, they could strengthen the rate by 30%. Every dollar worth of reserves that is siphoned off by the GOI, diminishes the ability of the CBI to increase the value of the dinar. After the GOI appropriates more than 30% of the reserves, the value will start to decrease in proportion to the remaining backing. No foreign country would even think about buying bonds from a bank that is in the process of being nationalized by that country's government, and one with a shrinking monetary value. If they could have sold bonds to back debt, they would have started 8 years ago. All they could have done would be to sell bonds for interest that could be obtained by reinvesting the proceeds at a higher rate. Countries that have to depend on foreign reserves have little to attract foreign bond investors. I could be wrong in my assessment, but have you ever seen a treasury bond from Vietnam Nam circulating in the US? This thing about fractional reserve banking isn't an option for a Central Bank, unless you are a reserve currency, otherwise Greece and the other EU countries facing bankruptcy would be competing with the US in the printing game. Maliki taking any reserves from the CBI, even if it is termed borrowing will lessen any possibility of the dinar gaining value. If they could pay it off, they wouldn't have had to borrow it to cover deficits in the first place. So far, they have not shown a profit, don't have dependable electricity or water treatment, and rely on imports. You can't borrow your way into prosperity . Seeing Shabibi taken out of the equation for a GOI appointee is not a good thing. Time will quickly prove it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Shabibi taken out of the equation for a GOI appointee is not a good thing. Time will quickly prove it. No one can compete with the US when it comes to just printing currency. In fact the US is an anomoly. The only reason we can print dollars and even somewhat maintain their value (which as everyone has seen is diminishing rapidly because of all the recent printing of Trillions); is due to the PetroDollar, and the USD being a world reserve currency. Because of these two things, there is always demand for the dollar and thus the value remains artificially high. Now sadly, many nations are going away from the petrodollar; and the USD as a world reserve currency, is being threatened by MOST of the G8. So, we're now on a precipice; and it doesnt feel like the pinnacle of our former glory or success either. :-/ Best wishes to ALL! We're in for an even bumpier ride...
