CBI decides to restructure the Iraqi currency


Recommended Posts

This really sucks. Do you really think Shabs cares about the folks holding Dinar outside the country?

I would think he should care considering many of the Dinar holders are presently protecting his arse right now there in the Green Zone! Not to mention that he likes his US vacations to Wyoming and such places. I can't remember the law that Bush helped to create that allowed Americans to invest in Iraq. You would think that would cover us in currency exchange. It would be stupid for Iraq to bite the hand that freed it. They need our investment in country too.

The IMF's first initial stands for International. Membership has its privledges. I believe their will be protections in place by the IMF to insure all international currency holders would have a fair ability to trade in Dinar. I believe that this move by Shabs will trigger the Dinar to be formally recognized and thus freely tradeable. I am hoping the trade in period will be more like a 2 year window.

I know you and everyone else have been repeatedly told this Zab by these false Gurus... but it simply isn't true. As the article states.... they will be printed with the Kurdish language on them. That is the constitutional requirement that occurred after 2003! If the lower denoms were printed in 2003 as you state, then all of the notes you presently hold would also have the Kurdish language on them. Clearly they don't.

This is outlining a re-denomination which really really sucks. I truly wish they would consider a different route but they seem to be full steam ahead. I am quite concerned with the CBI's plan to facilitate fair exchange to international Dinar holders. Yes...US!

Hey Drox, Yeah just another LOP article but something about this one stung the most. I don't know it just seems that the past couple of days have been the first stikes of the chisel for this redenomination to be set in stone.

I have been wondering when we would finally hear about the new notes with the Kurdish language. Well here it is. Will be amusing to see some try and spin this into an imminet RV.

O well. Live and Learn. Have a good day budddy.

You did good, Zab. It has or is about to happen. As for the lower denoms.....got some. But I think what the article is referring to is a new 'brand' thAt I'll come out in the future...or have I missed something? In any event.....RD is the deal; question remaining is 'what multiplier' will Shabs use?

I have had an alternative RV plan I have kept to myself. This is the first article I have seen that makes my theory come into question now too. I got all excited about the 100 note last night because that is a vital part of my plan. This article acts as if Maliki is on board with the CBI. My theory needs Shabs and Maliki to oppose one another.

The one hope is that this still needs to be agreed to by the Council of Ministers and Parliament. This will be a costly and painstaking endeavor for Iraq.

Hi drox :)

Thank you for all your thoughts my friend. they are appreciated.

In regards to the order that allowed the purchase of IQD, as far as

I have seen, it is NOT EO 13303 as so many assume. It is actually

CPA order # 39 section 7 that states the following:

Section 7

Implementing Foreign Investment

1) A foreign investor may implement foreign investment using, among other things,

freely convertible currencies or Iraqi legal tender, in the following forms:

a) establishing a wholly foreign-owned business entity in Iraq, including as a

subsidiary of a foreign investor;

b ) establishing a business entity jointly with an Iraqi investor;

c) establishing a branch office, as set forth in Section 5 herein; and

d) directly acquiring an investment.

2) A foreign investor shall be authorized to:

a) possess, use, and dispose of its investments;

b ) manage or participate in managing a business entity;

c) transfer its rights and obligations to other persons in accordance with the law;

d) transfer abroad without delay all funds associated with its foreign investment,

including:

i) shares or profits and dividends;

ii) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of its foreign investment or a

portion thereof;

iii) interest, royalty payments, management fees, other fees and payments made

under a contract; and

iv) other transfers approved by the Ministry of Trade;

e) exercise any other authority conferred upon it by law.

3) The Finance Minister and the Minister of Planning may jointly issue regulations to

assist in the implementation of this Order.

This is the only order I have found that actually deals with investments in Iraq

in regards to currency mention. Does this help?...or am I mistaken?

Thank you drox. :)

All my best! :D

  • No worries about the next CBI meeting. What concerns me most is obtaining Parliament's approval in a timely manner; their track record for getting 3 readings & subsequent votes could take weeks . This might be a appropriate time for some Divine Intervention!:shakehead:

If I am not mistaken, shabbs himself said that he didnt need them gov.to do this! Since CBI is a privately owned bank.

Thanks Drox...I too hope that we get some sort of deal for cashing/exchanging in the 000 notes. The 250's are safe tho....right?

I have had an alternative RV plan I have kept to myself. This is the first article I have seen that makes my theory come into question now too.

This is exactly what I was talking about in one of the last threads I started......this whole project or plan to remove the zeros aka redenominate is now complete.....they are going to submit it to parliment to be voted on, and if it passes, they will implement this plan......the only thing we can hope for is that the plan is either #1, shot down by parliment, or #2, that once they implement this plan, that they will increase the value of the dinar well over 1 buck so we can come away with some sort of profit......

All I can say is that we all need to keep our fingers crossed this doesnt get passed!!! NO RD!! NO RD!! BAD RD!!! laugh.gif

I agree that this new currency will be printed and released in the future. Until then, I believe that them lower denoms already printed will be used. This is something that they clearly want, and need to do now! So our large 25 k notes are just fine! If they tried to pull what some are suggesting, they would have several countries coming after them, not to mention civil war in country!

Why cant people understand that the IMF, and many others are not going to allow Iraq to just simply say..."sorry folks...but that money you have purchased that was worth 25 k dinars....well now its not! Sorry about your luck" This is absolutely NOT the case here! It would be like the US saying....oh, sorry but that hundred dollar bill you have is now only worth ten cents....just because we say it is! What a load of garbage some people pump out on here! Use your head folks.....this may be Iraq,.but there are still International polices in place that they must follow...that is unless they want to be wiped off the face.of the planet! They want investment....not to break it off in every single country, company, or person that has...or will invest in Iraq! Just dont think we have anything to worry about here! But, to each his own!

You really need to read up on redenominations.....it happens all the time....just open your eyes a little....it can happen....and no one is going to cast Iraq out of the global economy for it....they have a serious issue with their money supply being inflated and this is how they plan on fixing it....

Hi keep :)

I agree my friend. None of us WANT and RD, in spite of all

the accusations you have had to endure. i personally think

unfortunately, that Parliament will NOT vote this down, as much

as we hope they in fact DO. So the next phase we must hope

for is what you stated...after RD, we see a decent increase in the

value of the IQD, and much more than 1$ indeed or we may have

to literally wait for a few more years before we would see a nice rate

of return in the 200 - 300% or more category.

They are making their plans much more evident. Thank you for all your

efforts my friend. We continue to hope for the best outcome for everyone.

All my best! :D

I know my input isn't always welcomed on these discussions, and hate to be the one to bring this up. The April transcriptions of Shabibi's address pointed out that the decision to add the 3 zeros originally was not made by Parliament. He alluded to not needing their approval to remove them. RV, a different matter, as far as Parliament approval...

2 The CBI may decline to replace an unfit banknote or coin if its designs are illegible, misshaped or perforated, or if more than fifty percent of its surface has been lost; such a banknote or coin shall be withdrawn and destroyed without indemnity to the owner, unless there is evidence satisfactory to the CBI that the missing portions have been totally destroyed, in which case the CBI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant compensation in whole or in part.

3 The CBI shall not be required to provide any compensation for banknotes or coins that were lost, stolen or destroyed; it may confiscate without compensation any banknotes that have been altered in their external appearance, including in particular banknotes that have been written on, painted on, overprinted, stamped or perforated, or to which adhesive matter has been applied.

Article 38 Enforcement of foreign currency obligations

A foreign currency obligation may be enforced according to its terms. When a person obtains an order to enforce an obligation in a foreign currency, the order shall require payment of an amount in the currency of Iraq sufficient to purchase the amount of the obligation in the foreign currency at a bank in Iraq at the close of business on the first day on which the bank quotes a dinar rate for purchase of the foreign currency before the day payment of the obligation is due to be received by the creditor, provided, however, that if the court determines that such method would, under the circumstances, be inequitable, it shall select a method of conversion that is equitable.

Hi Dalite :)

Thank you for that info. I was not aware of that, so we can

assume parliament has nothing to with the decision regarding

the RD. But they do have to ok any revaluation.

Why would your comments not be welcome? I certainly

appreciate them. We all are hoping for the same beneficial outcome,

but it appears we now may be looking at what happens after the RD

which is what history certainly has shown us to occur.

Not something any one wanted, but we must make the best of the

situation we get handed.

Thanks again Dalite for your help and comments. :D

All my best!

So if I understood your highlighted sections correctly.. RD won't apply to what investors have? I'm so lost now.. I'm here in Ramadi and we have an Iraqi civilian thats works with the GOI and he's telling us that it will RD with the removal of the zero's to make the 1000 = 1 and the 5000 = 5 etc...

Sheepdog... I am sure Bondlady is a really nice person. I have personally found her analysis in most circumstances to completely miss the mark. She told everyone that their was $750 Billion to $1 Trillion in the DFI account as well. The cash, cash equivalent, and Tbill audit that ended in Dec of 2010 stated that there was $7.5 Billion. She has been wrong in a number of things. But hey... we all have been. I am not putting her down so much as telling you to follow your own research and not what others emphasize as the truth whether stated or implied. That goes for anything I say too! ;)

There has to be some sort of profit that needs to be involved in this investment.. or else the motive of US attracting this investment legal in US makes no sense at all. The profit should atleast be double/triple if not an RV or a considerable profit space. Or else, this makes perfect non-sense of an investment.

Let's not think what Iraq can do or not do. Let's think what US/UN can do to force iraq to give reasonable profits to it's investors. Afterall, it's we who've helped them get up on their feet. A few companies with billion dollar investment in iraq could not help them because they need investments in BULK, which is HUGE. And without the US or common man support of other countries, it is'nt simply possible. Think the logistics people.

My 2 words,

Michel! :)
