Well, right now Alak is saying the present exchange rate is serving them well, but my favorite thing he did say was:

 

He pointed out that "the coming period will witness a decline in the rate of inflation in Iraq after controlling the exchange rate and cancel the marginal price of the dollar and make it equal to the official price," noting that "this measure by the Central Bank supports the purchasing power of citizens and provides an important indicator for businessmen through the stability of the working environment" .

 

I know most think the inflation he is talking about is the price of goods, but IMO he is talking about hyper-inflation, the three zeros.

The CBI has really done a great job (credit mostly goes to Dr Shabibi ) in controlling the rate of inflation thru these high notes)... the market and official rare are almost equally close. Whenever i see purchasing power, i always fall from the edge of my seat. Smiling

It would be interesting to see following this financial inclusion...we know the inflation rate does not exceed 2%(they are actually referring to  at years of keeping it with 3 zeroes notes at that rate). Any fool can see that can only amount to one thing...an increase in value (with the assets the CBI accumulated,200billion dollars). Aside from this assets, given any more variables, i may be able to calculate the rate. I stood at the rate of what i shared past 6 months ago, 1dinar=2.69 dollars(if only i could find that article again where i derived at that rate). In any case, hang in there folks...rv is not that far (iam not talking a month time either..)

I pray something occurs soon.  I just was just given notice that my rent is going up again.  I’ve lived here two years and the rent has increased $454 in those two years.  I work two jobs. The rental housing in the Bay Area sux, so they are ousting us that can’t afford to live here because so many are willing to pay the high dollars for these units that make $100,000+ a year.  Looks like this grandma won’t be living in the Bay Area much longer.

Evening SM - what's happening to you is despicable. I certainly hope they flip the switch in Iraq and then you can Flip them the Bird. Perhaps greener pastures are ahead of you in a new part of the State or even somewhere else in the country. You might not know exactly where, but that as well could show itself to in it's own good time.

 

I believe there are no coincidences and things do happen for a reason. The just need time to unfold. :twocents:

 

We're feeling the $$$$ pinch in this household. Layoffs, lifestyle changes to pay ( Now ) overdue bills and my  2 Cancer surgeries to pay for left more Month than Money. I can understand the stress and strain of your situation. :salute:

You're very welcome SM - Nothing quite like riding Life's Roller Coaster let alone the IQD Roller Coaster, huh. I've served with friends in both States you mentioned. A bit Humid for me, but they wouldn't live anywhere else :twothumbs: Great bunch of folks on this site aren't there.  Many here at DV sent good vibes my way when I went thru Cancer Surgery earlier this year. 

 

Almost there; I agree 100%. Wished they would hurry the heck up already. God Bless and as the Brits would say, " Stiff Upper Lip, all will be well. " My ancestry is British/German with some French/Spanish thrown in for a well seasoned ancestral variety sauce - :lol:
