The appearance of Mohammed Saleh Part 1I took a moment to look over a article that was published today titled Center for Studies and Research/Consultant CBI. Articles written in a foreign language and then translated are hard to decipher and sometimes it’s simply impossible to follow the author’s thought process. However, with the recent posting upon DD pertaining to this article a few people came to me and asked me to give my thoughts on it. I will try to do my best but there is room for error seeing as how this article is a translation.The beginning of the article is simply explaining the purpose of countries having foreign currency reserves and how they affect the rate of exchange (value of a country’s currency). The central banks (Iraq = Central Bank of Iraq and in the US = Federal Reserve) hold foreign currencies and bonds that belong to other countries. In this case the CBI is holding large quantities of USD, however foreign exchange reserves could also include gold, Special Drawing Rights given by the IMF…The purpose of having foreign currency reserves is to “back” or support/uphold the value of the local currency. The United States dollar is the more popular choice of the reserves currencies, however the Euro, UK pound, and the Japanese Yen are also used.When a currency is an internationally recognized currency it is apart of the flexible exchange rate system and therefore is considered a liability at that point. The value of the currency can fluctuate dramatically, however when a country chooses to purchase foreign fiat currencies such as the US dollar to deposit within their reserves it can stabilize the value of their currency by “backing” or “supporting” it’s value. The larger a countries reserve deposits grow the stronger the domestic currency becomes.When the value of a currency drops and becomes unstable a country can and most often is experiencing inflationary pressures. The country is then put into the position of having to sell off assets to defend the rate of exchange or the value of their currency to keep it from crashing. Assets include that of foreign currency reserves. A country can also experience basically the same situation when a countries currency is over valued as well. In short, it is very important for a country to keep the value of their currency stabilized and well managed to avoid inflation, hyper-inflation and having to sell off assets, therefore losing even further strength of their currency.The beginning of this article is essentially explaining what I have said above when it refers to the use of using foreign currency reserves as a “shock absorber.”The article further explains that the CBI/GOI is using it’s foreign currency reserves to meet the national demands while still working to de-dollarize within it’s borders and strengthen the purchasing power of the IQD. In laymens terms, they are using the USD for imports while forcing the locals to use the IQD. The Iraqi people became largely dependent upon the use of USD to purchase all of their daily needs. It was essential for the CBI to de-dollarize and force the Iraqi people to use the domestic currency in order to reestablish faith and strength for the domestic currency. Once this process is complete the CBI can then move to the next phase of their monetary policies set forth by the IMF within the Framework Agreements.The article then moves on to discuss Article 27 of the Code of the Iraqi Central Bank No. 56 of 2004, which basically states that the CBI agrees to follow the international standards of market exchange by increasing foreign currency reserves to “back” and “support” the value of their currency. By doing so, it will starve off risk of volatility or extreme fluctuation of the rate of exchange. And, if inflationary pressures were to set in they will have enough liquidity in reserve to sell off in order to defend their rate of exchange. They agree to diversify their reserves by purchasing USD or any of the other widely accepted stable currencies that I’ve mentioned above. In turn, this will strengthen their international credit rating.The article explains that they still have not reached the minimal international credit rating of C which is defined by the IMF, therefore the IQD will not be apart of the international recognized reserve currencies. Of course, this will change once the CBI follows the Framework laid out by the IMF. We also know that multiple countries such as The US, Europe and China all have the Iraqi Dinar within their reserves, however since the IQD is not internationally recognized it cannot be seen as a true foreign reserve currency at this point. The article explains that Iraq’s international credit rating is 23%. If we were to compare that to our consumer lending paper scores that banks use to weigh our own credit it would be similar to lending to an individual who has a credit rating of under 300. The government of Iraq has poor credit rating and therefore the IMF has laid out what steps the CBI needs to make in order to regain their international status; one of which is to raise their liquid assets (foreign reserves) to acceptable levels.On an “Economic level,” the country of Iraq is running solely off of imports since they do not domestically produce their own consumptions. What I mean by this is that they do not produce every day items such as toilet paper, candy bars, toothpaste, etc and therefore they must import those goods for their use i.e. consumption. While they are dependent upon imports in order to keep their citizen’s functioning on a everyday level, the only export they are seeing growth in is that of their oil production. They are working avidly to increase their agricultural sectors in order to broaden their exporting capabilities, therefore strengthening their countries income.On a “political level,” Iraq is still protected under and subjected to their Chapter 7 agreement. The article states, that as long as Iraq is still in Chapter 7, it will continue to be seen as a country who cannot function peacefully within the international community and therefore can still be forced to do what the UN tells them to do. I would like to include that the revaluation of their currency falls into this section.The foreign currency reserves are kept in the vaults and is used to pay off international debts even though it would be cheaper to hold these reserves in a bank abroad since it is costly to transfer the monies to the countries creditors. Meanwhile, the continued oversight of the monies by the IMF will go on to starve off the possibility of money laundering, crime and terrorism. Furthermore, they are working to increase their foreign reserves and working to keep the value of the IQD stabilized in order to create an environment where diplomacy can thrive.In efforts to shift their currency to the flexible exchange rate system and to become internationally recognized there are certain steps that have to be taken in order to join the free market economy without creating inflationary risk. The article explains that they cannot jump into the deep end of the pool immediately and that they must take these steps in their proper order or they will find that inflationary pressures will cause them to fail. If they were to join the free market economy also known as the flexible exchange rate system and to become internationally recognized too soon and inflationary pressure was to set in, then they would risk having to sell of their vast foreign currency reserves which they’ve already set aside and allocated for other debts to defend their rate of exchange or the value of their currency.The paragraph within the article that states, “Of local currency in the first stage through the expenditure budget will undoubtedly deducted from the market needs and its share of foreign currency and weaken the cover of the national currency, as well as being disruptive direct the policies of the Iraqi Central Bank to raise the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and promote its exchange rate against the dollar, which requires the availability of foreign currency resources constantly aimed at creating a strong Dinar and the development of a stable economic prosperity leads to continuous An important anchor in building economic security and national defense for the stability of Iraq’s economy against external shocks for the longest possible period.” This paragraph is explaining what I’ve been explaining for the past year or so.The CBI is explaining that it crucial that they continue to increase their foreign currency reserves and place no risk upon them by coming in at a rate too low or too high which would place the Iraqi Dinar at a risk of inflationary pressure. They cannot have a strong currency without vast foreign currency reserves to strengthen it’s value, hence if they are forced to sell off their reserve currencies in the event that inflationary pressure sets in then the strength as well as it’s value topples. The article goes on to explain that the risk will always be relative to today’s economic conditions, however if they take this opportunity to continue to increase their foreign reserves then they place themselves in greater standing in the future with dealing with the global economy once their currency becomes internationally recognized by joining the flexible exchange rate system.The CBI states, that while the monetary plan is critically important to their becoming internationally respected by all nations it is not the sole importance and that they must continue international dialogue and diplomatic ties in the meantime to prevent them from becoming isolated as they had been when Saddam Hussein was in power.The CBI states, that it is important for their currency to become internationally recognized in a timely manner to starve off black market influence, which has shown to cause hyperinflation, increase rates of poverty and low standards of living by influencing the rate of exchange. The more quickly they take the steps needs to have their currency become internationally accepted the faster they can cut the black markets ability to undermine their economy.Over the past decades the article explains that the rate of exchange has fluctuated between $3.22 per 1 USD to 1450 per 1 USD. I thought it was rather funny that they used the word bipolar while describing the fluctuation. The article explains that in the past while under the ruling of Hussein they were not completely following the flexible exchange rate system that is internationally recognized, similar to what we just read of Venezuela’s currency. It goes on to say that while there are reasons for having this sort of monetary policy, it is unrealistic and cannot be done this way and by following Hussein’s peg theory it will only lead them in the wrong direction.For the last year to two years, you’ve all heard various theories of how the Iraqi Dinar will go about becoming internationally recognized. Certain individuals have claimed that the Dinar will be pegged to that of the Euro or the USD. I have done all that I could to combat these claims with scholarly articles as well as professional and educated reason why it will not be a direct peg. However, I am most elated to see that the CBI has come out and stated, “…That the foreign currency auction in late 2003, has come to announce the end of the fixed exchange rate system pegged regime in Iraq…And the shift towards flexible exchange rate regimes.” You see it for yourselves from the CBI directly. The Iraqi Dinar will not be a direct peg! I’m most happy to see this argument finally put to an end!The Chairman goes on to address the various types of exchange rate systems and explains that while they are defined by economist that they are much more complex than simply identifying them as pegged, pure floats, managed floats etc. The Chairman explains that Reinhart and Rogoff (2004) said that 153 countries claimed rate stability with their pegged exchange rates between the years of 1983 and 2003, however 53 % of the remaining countries chose to adopt a managed float exchange rate.He went on to explain that according to another study conducted by Levy –Yegati and Sturzengger in 2005 showed that a pure float in which a country allows their currency to join the flexible exchange rate system and slowly gain in value experienced high volatility and proved to be unstable. He also explained that the countries in question had to maintain high levels of foreign currency reserves in order to prepare themselves for possible downfall.It plainly states the reasons why the Iraqi Dinar will not be directly pegged to any one currency, or become a pure float as Kaperoni has stated earlier today. The article goes on to explain that the CBI will adopt the theory of a managed float or as they describe it within the article semi-floating managed float as stated in the conclusion of this article.Since it will be a managed float… there is no way possible that the Iraqi Dinar can gain a slow growth. Instead, it will come out closer to the average of the currency basket in which its float is managed by. “ Which leads to lower inflation and raise the external value of the Iraqi dinar at a rate rose by the Iraqi dinar exchange rate during the study period, including over 41%”Once again, I believe that we will see a rate of no lower than $2.30, however I truly suspect that it will fall into the 3+ range.The articles in question Part 1Center for Studies and Research / Consultant CBI d. The appearance of Mohammed Saleh Part 1اولاًResult of foreign exchange reserves is primarily a movement of the balance of payments or the external sector of the economy of the country, and he was being an increase or decrease in the light of these persistent external movement.The exercise of this reserve and the central function and fundamental barrier is being a “major shock absorber, leading to the continued stability of the national currency at the foreign currency.Accumulation of foreign currency at the CBI, which represents its international reserves have been through the establishment of the Ministry of Finance swap of its revenue in dollars, which is caused mainly from Iraq’s oil exports to meet their access to Metrgbh of the Iraqi dinar source of the CBI, to cover the costs of local public to enter Dinar trading local source in the Iraqi market, but through the doors of exchange in the general budget of the State.Since the task of the Iraqi Central Bank is to maintain the stability of the Iraqi dinar, which has been issued and disposed of it mainly through the general budget expenditures mentioned, according to the mechanism referred to in the above,Such that it could select the orientation of monetary policy of the Central Bank of Iraq and recorded them in how to use the dollar available to reserve a foreigner, in order to meet the expenses of the public and market transactions implications, derived mainly from government spending shift at a later stage to purchasing power, however, the public, traded and spending Kdinar Iraq in the daily dealings.By so doing, became foreign reserves of the CBI prompt to deal directly with the market pressures and needs of foreign currencies, but in the framework of preserving the Iraqi dinar and its purchasing power over the durable cover and solid foreign currency.Such a trend in monetary policy is one of the subsequent work and fundamental to the implementation of the objectives of the CBI, especially after that phase is over, dealing directly with the fiscal policy in the first stage mentioned above (ie, the stage of the replacement needs of the general budget of the Iraqi dinar some of the assets of the government’s foreign currencyAnd start regardless of the dinar over the expenditure of public Almoisanp) to start the second phase of this time to address the market demand for foreign currency, resulting as we have final expenditures for the government and mainly within the basic components of aggregate demand.موضحين بهذا الشأن مايأتي :Explaining this regard Mayati:PuPursuant to Article 27 of the Code of the Iraqi Central Bank No. 56 of 2004, which provided the central bank to take over management of official reserves of foreign currencies to the country according to international best practices and targets of monetary policy.And approved the bank to invest such reserves a range of assets, provided that guarantee liquidity without the risk of remembrance and achieve something of the dividend (and maintain the concept of liquid reserves, as always).According to the Central Bank has adopted international standards in the management of reserves, this was the work of the foreign reserve investments to ensure that spare those reserves all forms of investment risk and ensure liquidity and safety and to graduate from the concept of central bank reserves in any way.Coming diversification in various currencies through the adoption of the concept of currency risk to avoid the volatility of exchange rates and the concept of credit risk to avoid failure of payment and the concept of risk of interest rates to avoid investing in any securities of the Institutions of credit rating is low unreliable at all and other risks and rates recognized by the international standards

caused by economic and political changes of any country..But come on top of that the subject of risk (decrease in foreign currency reserves)..And that this factor is one of the most important factors to be considered to Iraq from outside the economic entity.And any fluctuation reserve, or a change in the composition or less, or devote controls to restrict foreign exchange and foreign exchange and confusion on this subject, is the Association a sensitive indicator of the risk countries and puts the country in the lowest credit rating in terms of its worth and treat the outside world financially with a healthy and normal.SoSovereign riskC – that the issue of risk is more than countries and on a large scale so the concept of sovereign risk Sovereign risk..Stating in this regard that our country has ranked since 1982 (after the Iran-Iraq war) in the group of high risk, where Iraq is occupied score of 23% compared to a country such as Sweden, who finished score 100%, and the sequence Iraq between international groups by degree of risk has occupied the 111 sequences, the last in the International Classification of the Group of high-risk, compared to the sequence(1)On this basis, lending to foreign banks to international entities subject to the concept of risk countries it is hedging its own balances in the reserve account known as a dedicated account transfer risk reserveA factor giving rise to the external borrowing of the countries at risk when borrowing from foreign banks, the benefits and obligations of the high, ever see foreign banks that the calculation (ie, a dedicated account reserve transfer risk), although he was a watered-down about the losses from bad debts or bad loans foreign, but it is at the same time raises the degree of risk of lending to countries suffering from the subject countries, the risks cited above, which leads to unjust conditions in the charging of interest or reimbursement arrangements, and guarantees, and others.NNot subject the investment reserve of foreign currency in essence to the concept of financial investment or non-monetary, but subject always to the concept of management of the Reserve with a total

Accordingly, hedge foreign exchange reserves of Kaloaniattiyat current minimum economic risks to the country’s foreign which is still uncertain, and very worrying and requires intense anticipation.At the political level: Iraq is still subject to the terms of the regrettably so-called Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations because our country is classified, it does not guarantee stability and is the subject of risk to ensure international peace and security, a situation detrimental to the baseless.In the ethics and realities of international law at present lacks the Code of Conduct in dealing with peace-loving nations and is aiming for, which comes in the forefront of Iraq.So Iraq is a war zone and instability within the definitions and the terms of this chapter, as it still allows the international organization to use force against him unless it is converted to a Chapter VI to the lead role within the international community in maintaining international peace and security, a task that we consider key in strategic national and working Iraqi diplomacy be given priority in the current scope of its strategy.Kthirma mooted proposals to move the international reserves from outside Iraq in material and deposited in the Central Bank vaults, it is striking that there was no such international practice in this regard to the relevance of those reserves to the outside world directly represent the crane to deal with the world through the external sector.كما ان نقل عدة مليارات بحجم نقدي سائلThe transfer of several billion the size of a cashQuestion did not pledge any state, looking for reassurance and to live peacefully in the international environment which is Atakll at the same time represent state Mkhatrkd prosecutions of this money even if the home temporarily and are being transported physically to the outside for the purposes of settlement of payments and the payment of obligations..With the offer to move the money out of cash in the country is the issue of exorbitant costs (when you move cash holdings) to be deposited in the international banking network through brokers and banks risk.

of a strong and stable for a free economy and as stipulated by the Constitution, the monetary policy is not in a deal mirrored in the later stage, that see the big message about the consequences of the public expenditures in the first phase, and put things be reversed out of context, by dealing again in addressing the needs and bridge the budget deficit in the subsequent funding requirements of

Applied developments and models of drainage systems:It has become difficult for the countries, to estimate accurately, any of the drainage system is more beneficial for economic growth, drainage systems, whether flexible or fixed.لذلك فان إجراء أية تصنيف على هذا الاساس المذكور آنفاًTherefore, to make any classification on this basis the above-mentionedيعد شيئاً يشوبه الكثير من الغموض.Is something tainted by a lot of ambiguity.Although, it has tried a lot of economists to establish classifications of drainage systems, including applications that used the International Monetary Fund to adopt and publish in its annual reports on the arrangements and limitations of systems of exchange and foreign exchange.bipolarRegardless of this and that, it was found these economists the idea that the countries selected for the drainage system, whether that was flexible or fixed, is the question leaves no other option because of the great difficulties Taatari identification systems and intermediate exchange rate lies between the two polar or extremists bipolarAs mentioned in the above, because it comes the ability to disclosure or transparency about restrictions on drainage systems in different countries.حيث وجد الكاتبان Reinhart and Rogoff (2004)Where the authors found Reinhart and Rogoff (2004)1983 وحتى العامIn Bgesehma which dealt with 153 countries in the world and for the period from 1946 to 2001 found that 45% of those countries that claim consistency in dispensing systems had a parallel exchange markets is the case of Iraq during the period 1983 and until2003 .dejureThe authors also found themselves, that many of the countries that were formally adopt dejureنظماً ثابتة للصرف pegged regimesFixed exchange rate regimes pegged regimesاو نظماً للصرف الثابت الزاحف crawling pegsOr systems of exchange hard creeping crawling pegs، فانها اعتمدت ، كواقع حال defacto, It adopted a reality if the defactoنظماً مرنة للصرف.Flexible exchange rate systems.كما في بلدان اخرى ، كانت تعتمد رسمياً نظم مرنة للصرف floating regimesAs in other countries, was formally adopted flexible systems of exchange floating regimesباتت كواقع حال defactoBecome a reality if the defactoتعتمد نظم صرف ثابتة او ثابتة زاحفة.Adopt a fixed exchange systems or fixed-runners.This collection is about 53% of the group of countries surveyed by the authors mentioned above, as it has had suchالبلدان ان تعلن بنفسها انها تعتمد انظمة صرف معومة مدارة managed float regimesCountries to announce their own systems, they rely managed floating exchange managed float regimes..3. دراسة نموذج Levy – Yegati and Sturzengger (2005)3. Model Study of Levy – Yegati and Sturzengger (2005)ومحاولة تطبيقه على واقع نظام الصرف العراقيAnd try to apply to the reality of the Iraqi banking systemThe authors contributed in the above case to deepen understanding of other arrangements to see drainage systems and rules, yet use the broader sample of countries promised until the present time, which included 183 countries that provide the IMF with information regularly since 1974 and until 2000.The researchers also rated drainage systems and arrangements depending on the behavior of three variables are:- التغير change- Change changeIn the nominal exchange rates.- التقلب volatility- Volatility of volatility.Changes in nominal exchange rates.- Fluctuations in international reserves (reserve of foreign assets).Off premise upon which the search of the idea that, that the systems of fixed exchange fluctuations associated with high foreign reserves in order to maintain exchange rate stability.In contrast, the floating exchange rate systems lead to the level of volatility is at least in foreign reserves, to meet a high volatility in exchange rates.قدم الكاتبان Levy-Yegati and SturzeneggerThe authors presented Levy-Yegati and Sturzeneggerانوذجهما على مرحلتين :Anozjhma in two phases::The first phase, the definition of the net foreign reserves:……(1)(1)حيث تمثل:Which represent:اForeign assets in the period ttForeign liabilities in the period tموجودات الحكومة المركزية من العملة في المدة tAssets of the central government of the currency in period tسعر صرف العملة للبلد موضوع الدراسة في المدة tCurrency exchange rate of the country in question in the period tوتضمنت المرحلة الثانية قياس التدخل الشهري monthly interventionThe second phase included the measurement of interference monthly monthly interventionمن جانب السياسة النقدية في سوق الصرف الاجنبي باستخدام الصيغة الآتية:By monetary policy in the foreign exchange market using the following formula:……(2)(2)حيث تمثلAs they representالنقد الأساس Monetary baseMonetary base Monetary baseIn the previous period which represents the liabilities of the Central Bank, which has the ability to create or generate money.وانAndتمثل الاحتياطي الاجنبيRepresents the foreign reservesللبنك المركزي.The Central Bank.The findings of the authors mentioned in their search wide, has confirmed that the fluctuations in foreign reserves،Reflects the absolute level of intervention or free monthly by the Monetary Authorityوبهذا فانThus, theهي دالة لـIs a function forAnd the results reached by other authors in the above are as follows:purely floatFirst: it was noted that the systems fully floating exchange purely floatResults were consistent with the achievement of very low volatility in foreign reserves as expected.dejureSecond: The increasing number of countries adopting floating exchange systems formally dejureقد تطورت بالمسار نفسه الالخوف من التعويم fear of floatingHave evolved the same path of floating Alalkhov fear of floating، وهي مجموعة البلدان التي اعتمدت التعويم غير النظيف dirty floating, A group of countries that have adopted floating is Clean dirty floatingكواقع حال defactoReality if the defactoبسبب سياسات التدخل المفرط في سوق الصرف .Policies because of excessive interference in the exchange market.As the authors mentioned a study showed that the emergence of the phenomenon of fear of floating has already started since the beginning of the seventies of the last century.4. نتائج التطبيق على الواقع العراقي:4. The results of the application on the Iraqi situation:حسب بيانات العام 2008According to data from the year 2008Was used monthly data available in the balance sheet of the Central Bank of Iraq during the period December 2003 to July 2008 on international reserves and other dataWhether data within the budget or outside, in addition to data on the exchange rates used in the central bank auction of foreign currency and according to the monthly averages or recorded at the end of each month.وبعد الأخذ بالاعتبار جانب الاستخدامات في القاعدة النقدية Monetary baseAfter taking into account the use in the monetary base Monetary baseوإجراء التطبيقات على حسب المعادلتينAnd make applications according to equations(1)(1)،,(2)(2)التي اعتمدها الكاتبان Levy-Yagati & SturzeneggerAdopted by the authors Levy-Yagati & Sturzeneggersemi managed floatingTurned on according to the calculations shown in the tables accompanying this study and graphs, the exchange rate system adopted by the monetary policy of the Central Bank of Iraq is the average of the drainage system is approaching the status of the system can be described as semi-floating orbit semi managed floatingحيث بلغ متوسط قيمةAs the average value ofAny level of intervention in the exchange market by the monetary authority indicator value amounted to about(0.050)(0.050)مما يتطلب بهذا الشأن توضيح ما يأتي:Which require clarification in this regard as follows:اذا كان متوسط القيمة العليا لمستوى التدخل هوIf the average value of the upper level of intervention isمعنى ذلك ان نظام الصرف هو اقرب الى الثبات peggedThis means that the system of exchange is pegged closer to the stability..واذا كان متوسط القيمة الدنيا لمستوى التدخل هوIf the average value of the minimum level of intervention isOr even close to zero means that the drainage system is a system full flotation, ie, that:Thus, the level of involvement by the monetary policy practiced by the Central Bank of Iraq in the exchange marketIs reasonable in the intervention and not very heavy which is higher than zero but less than one much, because it means that the market exchange rate is determined automatically according to the forces of supply and demand and the level inflows and outflows of foreign currency.5. الاستنتاجات :5. Conclusions:لما تقدم ، فان تشخيص نظام الصرف بالعراق على انه نظام معوم مدار managed floatOf the above, the diagnosis of drainage system in Iraq as a system floating over the managed float،Reflects the apparent level of involvement by the Iraqi Central Bank in the exchange market to represent the optimum level in the implementation of measures of monetary policy of the CBI, which leads to lower inflation and raise the external value of the Iraqi dinar at a rate rose by the Iraqi dinar exchange rate during the study period, including over 41% 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unitedrich Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Ron,Thank you for posting this synopsis from GG. Although a rather lengthy and involved letter, she really lays out the facts and puts it in laymans terms. I read it on another site first, but it equivocates many of the factors that are facing the Iraqi people, their economic system, and their struggle to be re-instated into the world economy.Thanks again Ron!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drox Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I may have found the future Mrs. D-rox. Haha! That was awesome! I was waiting to hear a conservative rate prediction from her and then she throws out $2.30... needless to say, a pleasant smile suddenly emerged on my face. Thanks Ron as always!Question: Can anyone tell me how the CBI is funding their reserves deposit? If 5% of oil revenue goes to the Kuwait compensation fund and 95% goes to the Developmental Fund of Iraq (DFI).... then where are they getting the funding to put into reserves? I know that the CBI holds the DFI funds in an account in New York I believe... so is it safe to assume that the DFI can also be used to increase the foreign reserves for the betterment of the people and infrastructure? Otherwise how are they funding the reserve and how will this amount continue to increase over time? This may help to understand how much money is actually sitting in escrow in the DFI fund. That would also help explain how the CBI could help financially support a revaluation by tapping into the DFI fund reserve. Kind of like a line of credit. Thanks for your input in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
