Thanks for posting this, it's good to have news not of the pumper variety!

[kayaman]

Thanks, Ron. The pieces of the puzzle are comming together.

[Darin]

Well, it is always nice to see the groundwork being laid of what is expected from the GOI to become full-pledged members.

It seems they have a striving goal to achieve that....

I recall reading about Tariff laws

It appears they're revamping their banking system

And, they're just touching base on the Gas & Oil law.

Now, how much can they get done by June of 2011? Is beyond me.. They've gone this far w/o being members, I am sure if they can't decide they'll put it off further.

Luckily, the U.S. will back them fully & that is some huge pull IMO.

I think other things that need to be considered is a full release of Chapter 7. -- I think this alone would help them globally and could see some change on the value of the IQD alone. I don't think the WTO is a big factor, but the steps necessary to be introduced will help on our investment. Just my .02
