Mura'bi said in a statement to the reporter (Agency news) today said the government should address the two files are important in the coming period and attention is very important and maximum I, is the ration and the other services, specifically electricity.

واقترح ان تتم زيادة البدل النقدي الذي اقره مجلس الوزراء مؤخراً لتعويض النقص الحاصل في البطاقة التموينية والبالغ 15 الف دينار الى 50 الف دينار مستدركاً انه يجب ان توضع لهذه الزيادة دراسة اقتصادية تاخذ بنظر الاعتبار جميع حيثيات الموضوع وخصوصاً تأثيره على الموازنة العامة للدولة.

Haha, still better than the proposed "1 million dinars to each family for delay in ration cards"...from the revaluation standpoint, of course.

Ok - so if it is not a typo, then each Iraqi gets 50,000 dinar per month - or each family gets 50,000 dinar per month? If it then RV's at only a little, that is a huge sum of money for each person per month. Why even RV then? If it were 50 dinar and RV at 1-2 dollars that would be better for each person, maybe per family being that their cost of living is not that high anyway. I just hope the translation is wrong, that's all.

yupp!!! feels like were close though... will know alot more within 24-48 hours.. can't wait!

[blue horseshoe]

You know, the translation of these things is amazing - even the English version sometimes needs to be translated into English..

[rdb]

yes, i've learned that .. at least 2 or 3 more articles will be out within a couple more hours then we should know for sure...

"Member suggested"

Maybe he is a nut case just standing up and spouting off to get attention and impress his costituents. What? You have never seen a politician do that? I am shocked.

I see this, if it were to happen, as a very bad thing for the RV. As one of you said, why bother ... if you raise the number of dinar, and then raise the value of dinar, you turn every Iraqi into a rich man overnight. Other than the average person not being able to cope well with overnight wealth (no comments about us) it would be better to give them a boost until the RV happens and then readjust the ration cards. The cards are supposed to be reflecting a worth ... how many bags of rice, pounds of flour, bottles of water, chickens, goats, eggs, etc. ... which would change significantly upwards with an RV.

I just don't see it being a good thing for us.

and I hope it is just what it says, a suggestion.

The Iraqi people NEED this money now and 15k just ain't gonna cut it. Regardless of what the GOI gives the people now, they can lower the amount loaded on the cards for the following month, or probably even e-LOP the cards. If these cards are loaded with 50k dinars, it sounds like RV day would have to be the last day of the month. Just sayin'

e-LOP is a registered trademark

Is this a typo at 50 instead of 50,000 dinar?

$50,000 dinar currently = $42.50 USD. Unless massive inflation results from the RV I'd guess that the equivalent of $42.50 would be applied to what ever the dinar/month amount per capita that the government provides.
