10-8-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   The Iraq protestors continue until the list of demands are met. We know these demands include stopping the currency auctions. We know if they do this they will then move the dinar to trade international. We have been waiting for this for many years as investors in the currency. But the question is - will this protesting effort actually put pressure on them to do it?  We know there is already a plan to roll out the smaller and the small category notes and coins by the CBI.  They keep telling the people of all the corruption but it seems to make no difference...(post 1 of 2)... 

 

10-8-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat    So, there was talk of dismissal of current prime minister Mahdi. According to the constitution this would be a no confidence vote. So what happened on this vote on Saturday?  A parliamentary source said on Monday that the House of Representatives will hold its eighth session to discuss the demonstrations on Tuesday.  The source said in an interview with Alsumaria News, "The House of Representatives will be held at one o'clock on Tuesday, its regular session."  He added that "the session will be dedicated to discuss the demonstrations and take the necessary measures to meet the demands of the demonstrators."...(post 2 of 2)... 

 

 

10-8-2019   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   Any such idea to release a new currency or small denominations right now would be a disaster.  Iraq is doing everything they can just to maintain stability.  Criticle this month is the vote on Special Grades which includes the CBI governor (Allaq could be replaced), parliament voting on laws, and parliament getting the 2020 budget to begin review that includes a significant increase in spending for the private sector.


10-8-2019   Newshound Guru chattels  Article:  "Parliament officially votes to freeze the work of provincial councils"  Quote:  "...The House of Representatives officially voted to freeze the work of the provincial councils.  It also voted on the recommendations of the parliamentary committee charged with considering the demands of the demonstrators"    It appears that the Iraqi Parliament managed to obtain a quorum for today's business.
