dontlop Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Another 200 billion dinar scarfed up out of private sector and leaving 179 million dollars in the private sector They pump around a billion dollars to the private sector each week We know the auctions Are not selling dinar to the govt so it only leaves the private sector Now the govt will put those dinar back into circulation thru govt payroll and they will have the 179 ion dollars plus the 200 billion dinars circulating Tommarro they will pump another 180 million into the private sector then recycle those dinar again The whole time the amount of dollars circulating in the private sector continues to grow I wish we had those figures to show how many remain in Iraq and how many are used to import We can only speculate using trade balance figures 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinar Buddy Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 The CBI is not pumping or scooping IQD or USD. The daily auctions are oil sales to local countries. That is their primary industry. I also saw a post this week from Adam that the auctions mean nothing. I agree! I am ready for an RV. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronscarpa Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 The CBI is not pumping or scooping IQD or USD. The daily auctions are oil sales to local countries. That is their primary industry. I also saw a post this week from Adam that the auctions mean nothing. I agree! I am ready for an RV. D.B. they still show the current CBI rate in a transactional status, so the the statement that they mean nothing is clearly incorrect and misleading. For most of the past ten years it was a source of revenue to the CBI, as well as maintaining a viable market rate, and peg to the USD. The arbitrary statement that the auctions mean nothing is simply an opinion based on current times and actions - and not a statement of fact - regardless of who's opinion it is. Let's be realistic and acknowledge all Shabibi did with the daily auctions...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TQueezy Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Where do people get off saying the daily foreign currency auctions the CBI does in part electronic remittances (for oil sales) and part cash exchange transactions aren't relevant? Each day the auctions are held at least some cash dollars are sold to banks in Iraq in exchange for cash dinars. This is actually happening. How else would the Iraqis get US cash? It's not sales of oil to neighboring countries. These are currency auctions, including a portion that is physical cash. It says so on the CBI website and countless articles announcing and explaining the daily auctions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
