FXStockpiling Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If the Iraqi Dinar was backed by current proven oil reserves of 143.1 billion Bbl's http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Energy-Resources/2013/01/30/Kurds-warn-BP-not-to-drill-for-Baghdad/UPI-36391359579542/ Selling at an average of $104.92 a Bbl http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-21/iraqi-crude-exports-rose-in-january-for-first-time-since-october.html So give or take we are talking about $15 trillion and we won't speculate about how much they haven't explored Iraq for new reserves Now lets look at what it would mean if this oil was held as the reserve for the IQD. Currently the Reserve Requirement Rate (RRR) is 15% (valid from 1 Sep 2010). http://www.cbi.iq/index.php?pid=MonetaryPolicy So if $15 Trillion USD was the reserve then it would cover the value of $100 Trillion USD in IQD. So with all the hype about how much IQD is in circulation who really knows? You can't really say that the M1, M2, or M3 is correct for a number of reasons but mainly because Iraq is mixing foreign currencies with the IQD to show bank reserves. Also it is unlawful for the Kurdistan banks to report anything it holds... http://www.cbi.iq/documents/Reserve_Requirements_EN_f.pdf So that is why I think this is a slip of the tongue http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2012/03/27/more-details-of-new-iraqi-dinars/ and now we are left with 30 Trillion being the actual number for IQD in circulation. So do the math here $15 trillion in proven oil reserves used as 15 percent of total currency reserves = $100 trillion dollars of backing the IQD Then we have 30 trillion in IQD so that leaves each Iraqi Dinar at a value of $3.33 <--- Isn't that the old rate? This is just my opinion of'course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a consequence, natural resources will yield economicprofi ts—rents—if properly managed. These rents can be an importantsource of development fi nance, and countries like Botswana and Malaysiahave successfully used natural resources in this way. There are nosustainable diamond mines, but there are sustainable diamond-miningcountries.

At least three reasons liebehind the diffi culties in such calculations. First, the importance of theinclusion of natural resources in the national accounting systems has beenrecognized only in the last decades, and although efforts to broaden thenational accounts are being made, they are mostly limited to internationalorganizations (such as the UN or the World Bank). Second, there are noprivate markets for subsoil resource deposits to convey information on thevalue of these stocks. Third, the stock size is defi ned in economic terms—reserves are “that part of the reserve base which could be economicallyextracted or produced at the time of determination”—and, therefore, it isdependent on the prevalent economic conditions, namely technology andprices.6Despite all these diffi culties, dollar values were assigned to the stocksof the main energy resources (oil, gas, and coal7) and to the stocks of10 metals and minerals (bauxite, copper, gold, iron ore, lead, nickel,phosphate rock, silver, tin, and zinc) for all the countries that haveproduction figures.Read more: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/92667-iqd-backing/page-8#ixzz2LZ4W3f1a i like the idea Edited February 21, 2013 by dontlop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state it consists of USD, Euro and I believe the Yen....what all about those numbers are we not able to trust? It is true that Kurdistan doesnt report, but I dont think that makes any difference on the CBI's holdings..... So that is why I think this is a slip of the tongue http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2012/03/27/more-details-of-new-iraqi-dinars/ and now we are left with 30 Trillion being the actual number for IQD in circulation.

The classical definition is expressed as any excess payment above that required to induce or provide for production. "A payment for the services of an economic resource which is not necessary as an incentive for its production"[11] "Any payment that does not affect the supply of the input"[12] "A payment to any factor in perfectly inelastic supply"[ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just my opinion of'course. Hello Mr. Keep I knew you would have questions for me First let me say that these assumptions are made lightly so I will do some further research as I try and answer these for you... Q1: The reserve requirement rate is for the banks under the CBI.....so its not the requirement for backing the value of the currency that the CBI does.... So you may be right on that one but more importantly is that fractional banking allows for leveraging up to 10 times your deposits. Q2: What makes you think they are mixing foreign currencies with the reserves of the CBI? They state it consists of USD, Euro and I believe the Yen....what all about those numbers are we not able to trust? Money Supply is the aggregate amount of monetary assets available in a country at a specific time. According to the Financial Times, Money Supply M0 and M1, also known as narrow money, includes coins and notes in circulation and other assets that are easily convertible into cash. Money Supply M2 includes M1 plus short-term time deposits in banks. Money Supply M3 includes M2 plus longer-term time deposits. Money Supply includes M3 plus other deposits. And the term broad money is used to describe Money Supply M2, M3 or M4. That's all I got for you. Thanks for the questions.
