Interesting news..."Will Be" and "Are Ready" are two different things. Yet, they both point to the next step or steps. Namely, it implies codifying and perhaps modifying, the Exchange Rate so that business may transact. Either way, we will get a definitive "exchange rate" once the status of Iraq banks move from the "will be ready" to the "are ready" status.

 

Blessings,
