skeetdog Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks DT...The CBI is making some bond moves in the past week that appears to be measuring the dinar against other countries currency...and now with this summit, that appears to be measuring the investments interested in contributing to building the economy of Iraq...It's safe for Iraq to enter the international market at .10....but with all the activities the CBI is conducting to test the dinar against other foreign markets...there seems to be an awful lot of analyzing by the CBI to open up at an even 1to1 with the USD ( .86 )..... 5 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8th ID Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 If they would change the value before the conference they would really get the world's attention. Skeetdog, I agree with you. This thing will not come out below a dollar. The only way to de-dollarize is to have it stronger than the dollar. 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presence Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks Thugs- very much. It takes a lot of time, money and effort to get to Baghdad and to coordinate a conference with attendees like this. I suspect something is about to happen- before December 2nd, which would make it worth the effort! 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
