One Kilogram of gold is around $58,383.00

100 kilograms of = $5,838,300.00 million dollars 

Iraq 2021 Budget was calculated at $46 per barrel of oil. Oil prices today are over $70 per barrel…. They have a budget surplus.

I remember another article talking about Iraq creating an emergency fund with the surplus.

CBI sales $200 million dollars a day in the currency auction.

Why CBI sold 100kg of gold when they can easily take $5.83 million dollars off the emergency fund or the foreign currency reserves.

 

Just trying to understand

I think we are seeing the transfer of gold amongst countries to balance their currencies value. If all countries are going to be on a "level playing field" (Trump) and going to an asset backed currency, this makes sense.

A couple of months ago, Iraq was saying there was no way they would ever get out of debt and be independent, and now Salih is saying they can do it.  Who do you believe?
