Tuesday Afternoon Opinions @ 3:50 PM MST - 1/21/2025

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... So, take  everything with a grain of salt ...  RON  

 

 

Jeff  The critical part is we want to see them advance to the [budget] schedules but the rate has to change before the schedules can be approved.  The schedules are the line items in the budget that are calculated off of the new currency value.

 

Kaperoni    X Tweet - Iraqi Embassy in Washington  "The U.S.-#Iraqi relationship is strengthened by deeper economic ties. #Iraq 🇮🇶 welcomes U.S. investment in all sectors under a business-friendly @realDonaldTrump administration."

 

MarkZ  Article: “Government representative in Parliament sends an amendment to an amendment regarding budget law” This one is specifically on rate and they are pushing to have the budget settled. This is also about the oil in the Kurdish region.  We should have had action on this today. They are waiting to squeeze in one last number, then we should budget tables and rates.  When they adjust budget tables it’s an ideal time to adjust “value”.  There is some pretty exciting stuff coming for Iraq this morning.

 

Samson  Article: ”Iraq enters a new phase of cooperation with America after Trump assumes the presidency"

 

Frank26  We've always said, don't run to the bank.  I said walk, take your time. You want to take your time because you want to see any changes. You want to see any mistakes that have been done that are being corrected by the bank or the CBI whatever it may be.  Take your time in doing this.  Once the exchange starts it's not going to stop overnight.  You've going to have plenty of time.

This article is music to my ears.   Go RV.  Go MAGA.

I don't think that Iraq has to have a new rate to put the budget together.  They have had budgets before at the old or current rate.  If they get their budget passed at the current rate of toilet paper, they can adjust everything later.

Shafaq News/ The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) revealed the security features of its new banknotes to raise awareness among the public, companies and financial institutions.

The CBI also underscored the sophistication of Iraqi banknotes, describing them as among the most advanced in terms of security features.

The notes are printed on premium paper to guarantee both quality and security.

The new banknotes will circulate alongside the existing ones, with no plans to withdraw the older currency from circulation, the Central Bank confirmed.

In a technical bulletin, the CBI showcased the enhanced security features of the banknotes, including raised marks on the new notes to assist visually impaired individuals in identifying denominations by touch.

To ensure a smooth transition, the CBI emphasized that the public will have sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the new banknotes and urged the widespread dissemination of this information.

Highlighting its objectives, the CBI stated that its primary goals include maintaining local price stability, ensuring a competitive and stable financial market system, and promoting sustainable growth, job creation, and prosperity in Iraq.

The CBI warned that manufacturing, possessing, or distributing counterfeit banknotes constitutes a criminal offense punishable by law and urged the public to report any counterfeit currency to the police or the Central Bank.
