Remember, no one really  knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON 

 

 

*** Pimpy  We have exchange talk again and everybody knows that's our favorite topic to talk about - the dinar exchange rate! Article:   "After its implementation in Iran...Is it possible to cancel the dollar exchange rate in Iraq?"...here we go somebody said exchange rate...not what you expected but it does effect what's going on with the dinar...As more and more countries start to get away from the petro-dollar altogether...they start doing things to help strengthen their own currency.  Will this move help strengthen Iran's currency? ...That's why I think Iraq is going to keep close attention to what happens to Iran...

 

*** docmagee94   Article: "Al-Rasheed announces the removal of his name from the international sanctions list".  IMO, this announcement is the most significant we’ve had in several months.

 

*** Godlover  Article: "Parliamentary Finance hosts the Minister of Water Resources regarding the Food Security Law" This article confirms imo that the government & budget approval is going to take some time to complete. The articles have made it clear that this law was created recently & was to be passed asap to bring a little better livelihood to their citizens until the monetary reforms are released...Most of the articles implied that they needed to give their citizens some relief immediately...This is one reason why I was hoping that this food security law & budget would pass together.

 

*** Clare  Article: "The new Iranian ambassador to Iraq begins his duties in Baghdad".  HMMM... A NEW IRANIAN AMBASSADOR! MAYBE THAT WAS KAZEMI'S DOING!

 

*** Mark ...in Baghdad today they announced that they are moving the vote on the food security act...to Saturday...I think they have done this because of this... Article: “The name of an Iraqi government bank has been removed from the international sanctions list.” This is more of the dominoes coming into the line. We have also seen the independents putting up a candidate approved by all 3 voting blocks to seat the government. We hear that may be decided on Saturday as well.  Makes sense to move forward with all of them at the same time. We also have the resignations of the Kuwaiti Government. This is very interesting timing.  I think there is a whole lot lining up for an amazing weekend when you look at what’s happening in Iraq.

 

*** Frank26  Article: "Adviser to Al-Kazemi: The budget is completed, and political pressures have disrupted the approval of the new salary scale" ...WE TOLD YOU WE BELIEVE THE BUDGET WAS COMPLETED LAST WEEK...
