I have a question. Everyone is saying they have to stop the auctions before raising the rate. But wouldn’t raising the rate stop the auctions? If the dinar was worth $1, nobody would need to buy the dollar anymore, right..? Or am I just being naive?

 

:twothumbs: NO!!! You Are NOT Being Naive, Half Crazy Runner, AND The Very Best Of The Rest Of Your Week AND Up Coming Weekend To You!!! :tiphat:

 

In MY (NOTE: MY) opinion, the "closed" "economy" corrupt weekday Bicraqi Iraqi CBI DAILY currency auctions ARE Funding Insanian, to INCLUDE Insanian IRGC, Corruption IN Iraq namely the Bicraqi Iraqi GOI TO INCLUDE OTHER Officials, TOO!!!

 

What THIS does is deplete the growth of the CBI reserves since the USD to pay for imports (and the associated corruption) comes DIRECTLY out of the CBI reserves WHERE the CBI receives the INTERNATIONAL Crude Oil payments in USD (foreign currency).

 

SO............................................................................

 

The sticky wicket (of sorts) IS THERE IS A GRAVY TRAIN FOR the Insanians, to INCLUDE the Insanian IRGC, AND THE Associated Bicraqi Iraqi CORRUPT GOI TO INCLUDE APPOINTED Officials!!!

 

GOING TO a "open" "economy" REAL TIME INTERNATIONAL Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar WILL IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE THE GRAVY TRAIN FOR the Insanians, to INCLUDE the Insanian IRGC, AND THE Associated Bicraqi Iraqi CORRUPT GOI TO INCLUDE APPOINTED Officials!!!

 

What THEY are ALL up against is "heat' AND "sand" "season" IS NIGH UPON THEM AND the locals, namely the Bicraqi Iraqi Citizenry, CAN AND WILL LIKELY GET "irritated" "agitated" AND ALL "upset" potentially leading to Sectarian Violence AND Civil War BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION.

 

NO ONE WANTS THAT!!!

 

SO............................................................................

 

The Bicraqi Iraqi GOI MUST DEMONSTRATE ADEQUATE EFFECTIVENESS REPRESENTING THE DEMOCRATIC Bicraqi Iraqi Citizenry OR ELSE by RELEASING foreign investment INTO Iraq FOR the NECESSARY reconstruction, construction, AND economic development WITH an INTERNATIONAL Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar IN a REAL TIME "open" "economy".

 

Well, OK, I DID say MY (NOTE: MY) opinion. :lmao:   :lmao:   :lmao:

 

WITH ALL The United States Of America ASSETS NOW IN the region to "reach" "out" AND "touch" some" "one' (:lmao:   :lmao:   :lmao:) SOMETHINZ' GOTTA GIVE!!!

Besides, The United States Of America Treasury Representatives HAVE BEEN at the Bicraqi Iraqi CBI SINCE January 2015 SO, the "go" "live" SHOULD BE VERY STREAMLINED AND QUICK WHEN "authorized"!!!

This immediately brought to mind the CBI "test site" that we used to be able to bring up, but has since disappeared.

They are probably all set to go whenever they deem the time appropriate.

In The Articles of Agreement of the IMF Article 8 Section 3 states

 
 
 
Quote

Section 3.  Avoidance of discriminatory currency practices

No member shall engage in, or permit any of its fiscal agencies referred to in Article V, Section 1 to engage in, any discriminatory currency arrangements or multiple currency practices, whether within or outside margins under Article IV or prescribed by or under Schedule C, except as authorized under this Agreement or approved by the Fund. If such arrangements and practices are engaged in at the date when this Agreement enters into force, the member concerned shall consult with the Fund as to their progressive removal unless they are maintained or imposed under Article XIV, Section 2, in which case the provisions of Section 3 of that Article shall apply.

 

Straight from the horse's mouth. So no you are not naive.

OK, @dinarin, I'll take a stab at Your notes AND The Very Best Of Your Weekend To You!!! :tiphat:

 

1. For now all we know that corrupt currency auctions are a impediment for a RV and betterment of iraqi population .

 

Agreed.

 

2. If the government of the United States is aware of this situation, how is it that exerting pressure with Mahdi or banking system does not implement actions to stop this vicious practice ..

 

I dunno. The corrupt weekday Bicraqi Iraqi CBI DAILY currency auction sure feeds A LOT of corruption in Iraq AND, REASON would have it, STOP IMMEDIATELY IF NOT SOONER!!!

 

3.  Is it something beyond the reach of the US government to get the Iraqi banking system to make a change for something honest.?

 

 I DO NOT think so. MANY MOVING pieces at play HERE. One could be the ReInstatement would give darker elements ENORMOUS purchasing power while those elements have NOT been fully sequestered/neutralized. Scary John Kerry is HYPER ACTIVE IN THE MUDDLE EAST NOW AND MAY BE A KEY INDICATOR OF THE DARKER ELEMENTS.

 

4. On the one hand we see how US is exerting maximum pressure against Iran through severe sanctions never seen before and many other forms in order to choke its economy by preventing funds to promove terrorism and, on the other hand, leaving open an big hole for which the iranies are receiving $$ through corrupt currency auctions ... patching holes and leaving one large open ..it seems that auctions  currency  have been since 2004 (no sure )..if around 20 billón por year × 15 years it results in 150 billions ¡¡¡ (aprox your data )....mostly funneled to insanians terrorists activities ¡¡ :(       ********  Could it be possible to stop currency auctions if : Anticorruption system be implemented in full force?

 

Interesting point. I am not sure what electronic features would automatically identify and screen from an EFFECTIVE AML/CFT standpoint since the current corrupt weekday Bicraqi Iraqi CBI DAILY currency auctions funnel nominally 30 - 40% to corruption AND terrorism NOW.

 

fully formed governnent ?

 

I dunno. I suspect STOPPING the funding of corruption in the Bicraqi Iraqi GOI would accelerate the RIGHT things to be completed.

 

..maliki and crooks to jail ??..

 

THAT is a GOOD START. WITH the funding of corruption NOW, I suspect THESE miscreants are safe. ONCE the Insanian, to INCLUDE the Insanian IRGC, influences are removed, the ball will move rapidly in the right direction WITH the corrupt indicted, prosecuted, AND sentenced EFFECTIVELY.

 

bombing insanians bases??..

 

Well, NOW THAT is a GREAT OPTION!!! NOT sure HOW far THAT will go. Hopefully, the Insanians, to INCLUDE the Insanian IRGC, WILL relieve THEMSELVES of THEIR insanity WHILE history has shown OTHERWISE.

 

more progress and time needed ?...

 

Nah. Just MORE time for CORRUPTION AND STATUS QUO.

 

or banking system is totally controled by corrupts guys and they will fight to impede any change ..?

 

Yeah, LIKELY a WISE option to have THESE replaced.

 

 Thank You everybody for your views ..opinions ..everything is welcome ;) ..  :)

Pompeo vowed in Baghdad "a comprehensive response" to any targeting of American interests

 
Friday - 5 Ramadan 1440 AH - 10 May 2019 AD Issue Number [14773]
 
 
 
Baghdad: Hamza Mustafa
A source familiar with the details of the brief visit by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Baghdad a few days ago that the minister carried the Iraqi officials he met with the responsibility of any targeting of the interests of Washington or its forces in Iraq, especially at the hands of groups linked to Iran, waving a "comprehensive response" . 
The echoes of the visit continue to resonate in various political, media and elite circles in Iraq. Not only did the Iraqi public view the statements issued by the offices of Iraqi President Barham Salih and Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, whom the US Secretary of State met separately, especially as Pompeo canceled a scheduled date with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to complete the surprise visit, which was not announced in advance.
The source familiar with the details of the visit to Asharq Al-Awsat said that Pompeiro was serious in informing Iraqi leaders about the nature of the coming confrontation with Iran and what is required of Iraq, which until recently was looking for an extension of the period of exemption from sanctions imposed on Iran Especially gas and electricity. 
"Pompeo has clearly warned the Iraqi government that it is responsible for any attack, even if it was a mistake, that the US forces or interests in Iraq could be exposed," he said, vowing "a comprehensive response if that happened." He explained that the American minister "showed that the pro-Iranian groups appear to be interacting (with the recent tension with Washington) more than Iran, being the first and foremost beneficiaries of Tehran, which makes the United States in a situation that can not be tolerated, so the response will include not only the side Military but will also be a multi-faceted economy. "
The political expert, Dr. Hisham al-Hashemi told «Middle East» that «Pompeo told Baghdad that there is limited military pressure on military targets may be in Iraq for the allies of Iran», indicating that «in light of this assured the Iraqi government that it must protect the interests of America and its citizens Iraq from any reaction that may result from this potential attack ». 
The former leader of the Popular Crowd Karim Nuri told Asharq Al-Awsat that "Iran is already counting on its friends in Iraq, the armed factions loyal to it and threatening the American presence." But he cautioned that "any process involving Iraq or implicating it in the possible US-Iranian confrontation will be a dishonest behavior that will pay everyone, including Iran's friends and allies."
A recent document from the Iraqi prime minister's office said there were about 9,000 coalition forces in Iraq, including 6,000 US troops, noting that their mission was to focus on training, advising and air support.
