Resounding defeat for Daash Conference Arbil

D. Supporter Abdul Sattar

Signs of defeat since Daash Andharhm began boycotted the rock cliff, and Amerli, and today completed the Peshmerga defeat Daash editing Mount Chenkal - Sinjar - and the villages surrounding it is an abomination of the terrorist gangs.

 

 

The support of the international coalition aircraft and experts America, Germany and Britain was a significant impact in achieving these victories that do not overlook the role of the Iraqi armed forces marked by the teams well-trained fighter like gold band and elite troops and several military formations loyal to the homeland and who sacrificed thousands of martyrs of soldiers and military echelons High and achieved successes and breakthroughs on the ground to the toughest areas where entrenched terrorist gangs such as Anbar and Samarra and country and Diyala.

 

 

It must be the national forces are working hand in hand in order to liberate the rest of the occupied territories by Daash gangs, which are large cities like Mosul and Jalawla and the districts of Anbar, such as al-Baghdadi, loyalty, and based .. etc., that the joint field work and coordination between the Peshmerga forces, the army and the crowd folk and tribal leaders in western regions is a must to achieve victory over the terrorist forces as quickly and with minimal losses.

 

 

In the midst of these developments took place during the last two days of Arbil conference of the forces of the Sunni Arab, has been keen of the body to the exclusion of other parties of the components of Iraq to the conference is limited to one color of Iraqis, who are Sunnis,

 

the initiative may have a political impact on the Iraqi reality tense, the the exclusion of the other parties is the first step to lay the foundations of the wall divider between the largest components of two Arab in Iraq are Shiites and Sunnis. 

 

 

On the other hand, may be limited in the conference to follow the Sunni component to reduce the factors that split in views within the conference, and to try to minimize the differences to a minimum, if this took up the matter of goodwill.

 

 

Grudge many sparked attend the conference some of the most wanted by the Iraqi judiciary, some of them convicted by court orders, such as former Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, but such a thing refutes that the provisions of the Iraqi judiciary in which nothing of oscillation, and beat us many examples to condemn some charges against them dropped by the Iraqi judiciary , there is no need to mention names are known to followers of political and judicial affairs in Iraq.

 

 

In an interview for me with Radio Radio Tigris affiliate website Deutsche fillet of Germany on the theme of the conference within its Iraq today ray showed in the conference, which confirmed it as an initiative that could lead to a better position for the future of the relationship between the political parties, because the dialogue, which is now the center of the Sunni Arab component needed to crystallize opinion away from him drift behind the armed forces is keen to push the blood of Iraqis, but in the commission of crimes against them, such as crime and Spyker Alsger and Peggy .. etc.

 

 

Combined with the unification of the Sunni position and direction of the correct destination emergence of national bodies sincere holds the rudder administration in any political effectiveness in the future in understanding about the rights of the geographical areas of the Sunni component being an Iraqi citizen is no difference between him and the people of the rest of the components of the Shiites and Kurds, Turkmen and Shabak, Christians, Sabians and Ayazdian and others.

 

 

We hope that the first step toward correcting the mistakes which occurred all Iraqi components of this conference will be a step, which is inevitable mistakes from happening in the midst of a process of transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Dr. Shabibi answers a revaluation and redenomination question made by two attendees. 

 

 
Transcript: 
Question: Revaluation With respect to the ongoing and need of stability in Iraq and its exchange rate, we did not follow that there is a direct need for a potential revaluation of the currency to its due for domestic and foreign investment in Iraq, and in regard to that, how far you believe we are from a potential revaluation of the Iraqi currency. 

 

 
Shabibi answer: Well thank you very much for this question and the ... ahmmm ....... even if I know the answer I cannot tell you .. (laughter) the thing is ... you cannot have an economist saying without....the answer depends, so the question here is if revaluation is really going to depend on what extent we are going to continue controlling the inflation.. as you know, if you go to the Central Bank website ... the first job is maintaining price stability . So there is a little bit of inflation in Iraq ... it use to be 2%... 3% ... now is about 5% . But we are watching that very carefully ... If this inflation continues we will have to revisit the question of exchange rate because revaluation depends on inflation ... of course .. the other factors that determine the movement in currencies are a lot ... sometimes we look at trade, exports and imports, all the obligations, the balance of payments and all this things ...definitely no doubt you look at those ... but those are problems related to the development part of the economy. The question of maintaining a price stability is really something ...you see the inflation and all this things..... cause nobody else in the economy is concern with inflation .... the government puts its budget... the government is the spender and the Central Bank its saver.... It's not very important for them to concentrate on inflation .... so actually the question here is we are going to track and follow the development in inflation first and of course other factors which I mentioned. Second then will determine our exchange rate movement. 

 

 
Thank you Governor. This may be the same question, so I can understand if you can't answer. My name is Bob Kelly, I am an Investor in Iraq, the Summit Hotel in the International Zone with the OPEC financing. Question: Redenomination I've heard a report in the last couple of days That Iraq is about to cut three zeros off the currency ...they call that re-denomination that may be the same question (revaluation) that you just received but I wonder if you had any information about that. 

 

 
Shabibi answer Well, I mean .... I don't know whether if it is the same question (revaluation), I think this cutting of three zeros... shouldn't be exaggerated ... actually that is the problem...the question is ... just " re-denomination" .... and .... people writing a lot of articles in the news papers... criticizing the Central Bank...., that is going to .... the value the Iraqi dinar... that is going to depreciate ... all kinds of talks. This is a question, just actually, to facilitated payment... ease of counting and all this things.... and of course when you see a lot of figures, you see trillions and huge figures.... if you want to be precise and you see twelve figures or fifteen figures or digits ... So I think we have a plan on that. If you remember ... why .... there was not a government decree to add this zeros. It happened because of the course of development of the economy at the beginning of the eighties.... Inflation was very high ... Inflation was rampant and therefore ... I mean small denoms start not to be use ... so government started to add the three zeros at the time.... and of course conditions are different now . Inflation is under control, exchange rate is manage by the Central Bank.... all these things when you have the zeros you could not manage ... not because of fault of the government or the Central Bank (only) ... which I think there was but because there were a lot of exogenous (external) factors. I'm not saying that we are champions now I mean ... there were a lot external factors which affected and a lot of people did not know what to do, so they started to add three zeros and all this things. So now the situation is completely different from that time, you had a high inflation, you have now a low inflation, you had actually something which is a stable macroeconomics situation . At that time the situation was not stable . So the only way to combat all of this things at the time was to increase the denomination and put three zeros.

 

 

 

JUST A REMINDER POST - DOES SHAB'S PLAN STILL HOLD TRUE? WE SHALL SEE.

Seen yesterday when thousands of Iraqis currently on remarks by Deputy Minister majda Al-Tamimi Al-baghdadia channel glue on the request of the two Vice-Presidents of the Republic fictional budget amounts for the purpose of furnishing their own just as well as other fictional amounts to kebabs, chicken and, packed masgouf.
 
 
And I as a media and academic laishobni no doubt know the names of the two Vice-Chairmen who pointed them to Amanda on the inclusion of fictional amounts up to (23 billion dinars) for furnishing their offices as well as my conviction that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis also recognize and know who are these people who steal public money and sow in any position held.
 
 
The Minister, who spent 100 million per week on his stomach and belly of his associates as well as spend more than 200 million dinars, as declarations concerning the activities of his Ministry is also not far from our consciousness.
Let us calculate the primitive km dismiss ministers and undersecretaries, directors, Governors and others on their stomachs on a weekly basis and then a month and then know how to drain their stomachs of the Iraqi budget annually and keep expenses reported by Minister Dr. Majida Al-Tamimi model.
 
 
We have in Iraq 38 between Ministers and those in degree and more than 700 agent fourteen and a Governor and Chairman of the Board, and armies of the two coaches of over 4,000 General Manager.
 
 
And every Minister spends 100 million per week, 400 million per month, and if we hit that spend him Minister per total Iraqi State Ministers have not spend him Ministers and those in grade (15) billion per month (180) billion dinars a year and if we add to this amount that spend him conservatives and undersecretaries, Chairmen of boards of Directors, is an astronomical figure and up to 1 trillion dinars.
 
 
Allow me to transmit to you the prices of some food purchased these to consult either themselves about the size of the corruption and waste of public money in Iraq without shame, the price lists some kebabs turnoff is 75,000 dinars, the price of the fish one or three Clio 130 thousand dinars, and there are other fictional lists rates and meals, watkam furniture implausible.

The IMF 2% guidelines may not apply to CBI at this time.
This is not so much the IQD within the 2% spread but Iraq meeting all other requirements to exit VIII.

THESE COMMENTS ARE FROM ZUL

 

Kap is wrong on all level on the 2%.

First and foremost, if we read IMF report on their 2013 article 4 consultations with Iraq (Country Report No. 13/217); the 2% (on item no.8) actually refers to the inoperative bilateral payment agreement (BPA) between Iraq dan Jordan. 

IMF's main concerns was the 'ABSENCE OF MECHANISM' (meaning - official actions) to ensure the rate remain within 2%.

If Kap were to do some basic research on the 2%, he would have come across this statement by IMF - : Any exchange spread that arises WITHOUT official action WOULD NOT give rise to a multiple currency practice (MCP).

Minutes of the meeting summary and findings of Arbil conference to Sunnis

 
Tuesday 23 December 2014

First: to work to find a legal formula that would allow for international intervention writes chapters first scene to divide Iraq along sectarian lines and under the auspices of the United Nations, United States, Turkey and the Arab states and a delegation from the Iraqi government ..

 

 

Second: The Post-Hashemi and al-Issawi and others wanted by the Iraqi judiciary in the presence of an official delegation from the Iraqi government confirms that there is an agreement between the Shiite and Sunni governments that (so to speak) in the settlement of the fugitives and wanted to eliminate file ..

 

Third, at the time showed a Sunni parties large and warmly enthusiastic Conference Erbil, on top of those of Vice President Osama Najafi conference showed a clear split between Sunni leaders to participate in the political process and rejected by other leaders of the Sunni prominent on top Iraqi parliament speaker, Dr. Salim al-blocks and Sunni religious mission. .

 

Fourth, try to ward off any role for the Champions popular crowd on the ground and stick the charges and Shiite sectarian militias and their bargaining Iraqi government presence Aldaasha Daash described as a protector of the Sunnis in Iraq? !!

 

Fifth: the founding of the first nucleus of Sunni army, which of up to 100 thousand fighters and begin the formation and training of the first group in the Jordanian capital Amman, the Jordanian forces under the supervision of the US Joint

 

Sixth: reject the participants in the conference and on top of the required to eliminate the former Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi to recognize any role to PDF crowd (Shiite) Edit the Sunni areas also called coalition countries not to participate actively in support of the Iraqi security forces and refused to return the Gulf relations and open embassies only after the approval of the Government of Abadi on their terms and their courses?

 

Seventh: The refusal to recognize the results of the elections since the fall of Saddam's regime to this day !! And not to accept any census talking about Shiite majority in Iraq and either participate and support the government of al-Abadi is subject to acceptance of the Shiites rule Iraq jointly with the year to arrange a new rule formula overseen by the United Nations, as happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the disintegration of Yugoslavia and divided into any number of countries, and in the case of the Shiites rejected to these demands and decisions will be completed in support of the division of Iraq and the formation of the Sunni state actions ..

Eighth: the exclusion of any impact or guiding role for reference Shia in Iraq?!

Ninth: full recognition of Kurdish rights claimed by Mr. Massoud Barzani, including Article 140, Kirkuk and other disputed territories and the right of the province secede and create their own desired in a timely manner ..

This is what is planned some Sunni leaders in Iraq, supporting them and states under the glare of the Iraqi government delegation to the conference and the most unhappy of this is the blessing of Shiite political blocs to this conference through the official spokesman important Shiite bloc in an interview with Al-Fayhaa channel that Arbil conference held under the patronage of Mr. Massoud Barzani, president of the region and what he is doing Barzani of interviews with the required to eliminate Kalhashima figures and al-Issawi is a great service to the Iraqi government for the convergence of views between the government and these characters !! So we give thanks to him?! Mtgavla that those accused of terrorism and Article four being prosecuted by the Iraqi judiciary ..

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM AN IMF DOCUMENT RE CURRENCY PRACTICES:

 

 

MULTIPLE CURRENCY PRACTICES—POLICY
The Executive Board approves the decision set forth in SM/81/34, Supplement, 1 (3/17/81).
Decision No. 6790-(81/43),
March 20, 1981,
as amended by Decision No. 11728-(98/56),
May 21, 1998
SM/81/34, Sup. 1
The Executive Board has reviewed the Fund’s policy with respect to multiple currency practices. The Fund shall be guided by the approach outlined in the conclusions set forth below.
1. Official action should not cause exchange rate spreads and cross rate quotations to differ unreasonably from those that arise from the normal commercial costs and risks of exchange transactions.
a. (i) Action by a member or its fiscal agencies that of itself gives rise to a spread of more than 2 percent between buying and selling rates for spot exchange transactions between the member’s currency and any other member’s currency would be considered a multiple currency practice and would require the prior approval of the Fund.
(ii) An exchange spread that arises without official action would not give rise to a multiple currency practice.
(iii) Deviations between the buying and selling rates for spot transactions and for other transactions would not be considered multiple currency practices if they represent the additional costs and exchange risks for these other transactions.
b. Action by a member or its fiscal agencies which results in midpoint spot exchange rates of other members’ currencies against its own currency in a relationship which differs by more than 1 percent from the midpoint spot exchange rates for these currencies in their principal markets would give rise to a multiple currency practice. If the differentials of more than 1 percent in these cross rates persist for more than one week, the resulting multiple currency practice would become subject to the approval of the Fund under Article VIII, Section 3.
 
HERE IS AN ARTICLE BUTI FOUND (SORRY RETRIEVED THIS FROM AN IM CHAT, AND THE LINK IS NOT WITHIN THE POST):
 
 
QUOTE FROM BUTI: "Notice the IMF states that there can be fluctuations from the 2% spread, only if they are not caused by an official action,  (as in the case of the CBI limiting the number of banks that can sell the dollar)...So on the same day that the market rate rose to 1217 Mohsen from the cbi repined with this."

The bank said that "there are no intentions to put restrictions on the conversion activity despite the circumstances in the country," he said, adding that he "believes in the importance of the private sector and its role in the reconstruction of Iraq" .anthy
 
more from Buti:
"I think this was his response to the increase in the Market rate.
He wants to justify the increase as not being from an official action of the CBI—
So Mohsen is saying that nothing he or the CBI did caused this increase in spread
It's up to the IMF to determine if the CBI is at faullt"
