Clever money -- bilingual bills will "eliminate inflation"

21/11/2011 14:48 Baghdad, Nov. 21 (AKnews) - The Iraqi Central Bank (ICB) will produce new denomination bill as well as coins in both Arabic and Kurdish languages. The 50,000 dinar notes will hopefully address the liquidity issue in Iraq, halting inflation, the ICB said on Monday. Deputy chairman of the ICB Dr Muzher Saleh told AKnews the largest denomination bill in the country is 25,000 dinars and its purchasing power does not exceed $23. "The new currency will include symbols that reflect the diversity of Iraqi sects and civilizations including the Kurdish culture. Iraq needs to support its economy and its currency through the issuance of high value bills." "In the financial transactions in the Iraqi market large amounts of cash are needed and therefore there is difficulty in transferring the money in bags. Sometimes Iraqi banks do not accept deposits because of counting problems for the large amounts of money." "The ICB is seeking to fix the payments system in Iraq and the monetary policy. Soon new currency will be issued and three zeroes will be canceled from the new notes. This procedure will help the payments system and eliminate inflation. Instead of needing large amounts of money to buy a small quantity of goods, we will need small amounts of money to buy more goods."

The source, who preferred anonymity in an interview (the citizen) that “the Iraqi currency is currently in the process of switching after lifting the three zeroes, and it is not possible to issue a new currency at the present time,” adding, “There was intent in the past to issue the currency of a large class to facilitate the deal, but the idea of ​​lifting the zeros replaced this idea or intention of the Iraqi Central Bank to issue currency of a new category, “stressing that” the plans on the new version after the lifting of zeros take into account the issue of balance and the actual need for the trading currency (Cache), where there will be no less than 12 categories of including a number of mineral groups in addition to the paper, and certainly the last category will contain a large currency to facilitate the transactions as is the case in all countries of the world. “

Regarding the appointment process will raise the yolk between the “central bank ended a prepared full plans for change was submitted to the concerned authorities note that the issue of changing the currency was assigned to the Central Bank by the government which he is not a proposal or project adopted by the Bank and of course the decision of when to hold the process will be the prerogative of the party that adopts the project of any government. “

Saleh pointed out that “it will soon be through the issuance of new currency and the elimination of three zeros from the new currency.”

Salih stressed that “this action is an important part of the reform of currency management and will facilitate the payments system and the elimination of the vestiges of inflation, the former by treating the mass of a strong monetary and easy,” adding that “instead of have to deal with large amounts of money to buy a small quantity of goods, we will deal in a little money to buy a large quantity of goods. “

Economist: a lifting of the zeroes raise the value of Iraqi dinar

The economist said Mohammed al-Samarrai, "Tuesday" to raise three zeroes from the Iraqi currency a very correct and is in the interest and the purpose of raising the value of the Iraqi dinar against other foreign currencies as dollar.

Explaining, for example, all Iraqi dinars would equal approximately $ added to the Masatertb that enhance the confidence in Iraqi dinars by local and foreign investors alike.

Obscure U.S. delegation allegedly in Iraq for negotiations

21/11/2011 13:38

Baghdad, Nov. 21 (AKnews) - The negotiations between the United States and Iraq over U.S. military trainers staying in Iraq after the withdrawal of American forces at the end of the year, allegedly continue.

Adel Berwari, adviser for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on the Kurdistan Region, said that a delegation from the United States is currently visiting Iraq to discuss current developments, the withdrawal and the bilateral relationship after the withdrawal.

The delegation, that allegedly met with Maliki and President Jalal Talabani, consists of "consultants from Congress and the Supreme Command in the United States," Berwari said. They were allegedly discussing the numbers of U.S. trainers that should stay in Iraq.

AKnews was unable to confirm the existence of such a delegation.

Also, Congress is a very vague description, since it encompasses both chambers of U.S. legislative, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Finally, there is no such thing a "Supreme Command" in the U.S. The Supreme Commander is usually a title for a senior commander in multinational military alliances. During World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower was Supreme Commander during the Battle of Normandy. Today, the term is only used within NATO.

Besides this story, there are indeed U.S. attempts to keep military trainers in Iraq.

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate committee on Tuesday that some U.S. forces will remain in Iraq as trainers but only inside of 10 bases. They will train Iraqis in counterterrorism and using tanks and fighter jets.

Although Dempsey did not give exact numbers, he said that there will be not more than 200 trainers in Iraq. There are currently 24,000 U.S. soldiers in the country. After Dec. 31, there will be roughly 16,000 personnel at the U.S. Embassy.

Bickering Over Oil and Gas Law Hurts Foreign Investment

22/11/2011 02:03:00 By HAWAR ABDULRAZAQ ALI ERBIL,

Iraqi Kurdistan -- Energy experts say that foreign investors are concerned about the bickering over Iraq’s oil and gas law and may be reluctant to invest in the country’s vast natural resources until legislation is passed.

For years, Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region have disagreed on the details of Iraq’s oil and gas law including whether regions can strike deals for natural gas projects.

The Kurdistan Region has its own investment law and the central government still works under laws from Saddam Hussein’s era.

A new row between Baghdad and Erbil started last week following reports that the Kurdish authorities had signed a contract with the American oil giant ExxonMobil, which already has an existing contract with Baghdad.

Jonathan Brown, Kurdistan’s project manager for the Canadian oil company Talisman Energy, which currently works in three different oil fields in Kurdistan, said the lack of clarity regarding Iraq’s oil and gas laws will hinder foreign investment in the region and Iraq.

“It’s a big problem; any company that wants come to Kurdistan or Iraq, the first thing they talk about is the law issue,” he said.

Todd F. Kozel, chairman and CEO of the British oil firm Gulf Keystone Petroleum Co., maintained that oil-related conflicts between Baghdad and Erbil will hurt the industry’s development but remains hopeful that the issues will be resolved.

“Our company has invested millions of dollars in its projects in the Kurdistan region and I believe that KRG and central government will solve the issue, or we would not have invested a lot of money in the region,” he said.

There were reports late last month that Iraqi Prime Minster Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minster Barham Salih agreed to amend Iraq’s 2007 oil and gas law by December 31.

That law was approved by most of Iraq’s political factions.

In August, Kurdish officials were upset when Iraq’s cabinet hastily passed a new draft of Iraq’s oil and gas law without consulting the Kurds. A previous draft of the law had sat in Parliament since 2007.

Kurdish leaders accused Iraq’s prime minister of becoming authoritarian and creating an “economic dictatorship.”

Natt Arian, a Kurdish investor based in Australia, believes that foreign investors have the right to be concerned about Iraq’s oil and gas law because it needs to protect their business. Arian also said the KRG should do more to attract foreign investment.

“Kurdistan should do more to expose the region to foreigners and give them more information about the situation,” he said. “For example, Australians haven’t got a lot of information about Kurdistan.”

Joey & Vic Discuss why they believe the deal with Shell was delayed 3 days....

November 21, 2011

Iraq to Sign Final Gas Deal With Shell, Mitsubishi on Nov. 27

Iraq will sign a final accord on Nov. 27 with Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Mitsubishi Corp. for a $17 billion project to capture natural gas from fields in the south of the country, according to the Oil Ministry.

The signing was delayed by three days for logistical reasons, Asim Jihad, a ministry spokesman, said by telephone from Baghdad today. The agreement was due to be signed Nov. 24, Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad al-Shamaa said last week.

According to the terms of the 25-year agreement, the government will have a 51 percent stake in the venture known as South Gas Co., while Shell will get 44 percent and Mitsubishi the rest.

South Gas will have a starting capital of $20 million and will help collect more than 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic meters) a day from the Rumailah, Zubair and West Qurna fields, Shamaa then said.

Iraq, holder of the fifth-biggest gas reserves in the Middle East, is struggling to restore power capacity after years of conflict and economic sanctions. The captured gas will meet domestic needs and may be exported at a later stage, Hans Nijkamp, Shell’s country chairman for Iraq, said Sept. 29.

Shell, Europe’s largest oil company, has been in talks with the Iraqi government since 2008 to gather gas that’s currently burned off, or flared.

Iraq has signed 15 licenses for the development of energy resources, including three for gas, since 2008, five years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted the regime of then-President Saddam Hussein. It plans a fourth licensing round of oil and gas exploration rights for March.

Political stability returning to Kurdistan oil industry

Calgary’s WesternZagros heralds recent deals and oil-sharing pact

By Rebecca Penty, Postmedia News November 21, 2011

CALGARY — When Lisa Harriman of WesternZagros Resources Ltd. tours a group of investment analysts around northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region starting Tuesday, she’ll be careful to avoid the landmines.

Despite signs warning of off-road explosives, leftovers from the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, the landmines and other perils in a part of the world deemed politically unstable have the Calgary-based junior energy firm spending $3 million a year on security to protect its operations.

Risks in Kurdistan are “perceived” to be greater than they are, said Harriman — manager of investor relations — on Monday, on the sidelines of a Calgary conference hosted by SEPAC, the Small Explorers and Producers Association of Canada.

“When we go to our well, it’s kind of like going to Medicine Hat,” chimed Greg Stevenson, WesternZagros chief financial officer.

Compared with its early days in Iraq, WesternZagros’ security spending is becoming small potatoes as the Political risk diminishes, prompting larger energy players to descend on Kurdistan.

One of four firms active in the semi-autonomous region six years ago, WesternZagros is now among some 45 energy companies, including majors Repsol YPF, S.A. from Spain and U.S. firms Murphy Oil Corp. and Hess Corp.

Last week, Kurdistan natural resources minister Ashti Hawrami revealed that major ExxonMobil Corp. inked a deal to develop six blocks of land in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan in October.

“Everybody sees that as huge, that Exxon, a big major, has come into Kurdistan,” Harriman said.

Exxon’s entrance was six weeks after ex-BP PLC chief executive Tony Hayward’s Vallares PLC put up $2.1 billion US to acquire Kurdistan’s largest oil producer, Turkish-based Genel Energy PLC.

The Political situation started improving late last year when the Kurds backed an Iraqi national government appointment in December. An oil and gas-sharing pact first drafted in 2007 between Kurdistan and Iraq now anticipated by the end of the year is expected to let oil flow from Kurdistan to other countries, lifting the price per barrel from just over $50 to the global benchmark Brent price — more than $100. The long-standing dispute over how to divide oil revenue meant majors active in Iraq couldn’t drill in the northern region of Kurdistan without penalty, limitations expected to end with the deal closing.

The Exxon development, which raised the ire of the Iraqi government, added a twist. Reuters reported that Baghdad has said any oil deals signed with the Kurdish Regional Government are illegal and has suggested the firm’s contract to develop an oilfield in south Iraq is in jeopardy.

Stevenson predicted mergers and acquisition activity will ramp up as firms look to gain a foothold in Kurdistan, which according to Bloomberg, Kurdistan’s Hawrami said could contain 40 per cent of Iraq’s 115 billion barrels of oil reserves — more than the Gulf of Mexico.

WesternZagros is about a year away from potentially becoming a takeover target, according to Calgary-based analyst Josef Schachter. The company’s highly anticipated Kurdamir-2 (K2) well, being drilled by its operator-partner on one of two Kurdistan blocks for WesternZagros, Calgary’s Talisman Energy Inc., is targeting the Oligocene carbonate reservoir, among the most prolific in Iraq.

“The big home run is what they get at Kurdamir,” Schachter said.

Schachter has a one-year target on the company’s share price of $2.10, far above the closing share price Monday of 72 cents.

WesternZagros, about 20 per cent owned by Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) since a share purchase late last month, reported third quarter financial results Monday, including a net loss of $2 million.

The firm is producing and selling oil in Kurdistan from its Sarqala-1 well, which it expects will produce 5,000 barrels per day before the end of 2011. WesternZagros has more than 3.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent per day of audited prospective reserves, more than half of that crude oil.

Tim: Shares an article about Biden and our Wounded War Veterans

Bidens host wounded troops

Cliff Owen/AP - Vice President Biden serves salad to Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, who was wounded by a grenade in Afghanistan, during his annual Thanksgiving dinner for wounded warriors of the U.S. military in Washington, Monday, Nov. 21.

By Greg Jaffe, Published: November 21

Twelve wounded troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, several missing both their legs, were clustered Monday around two long tables at the vice president’s home.

Joe and Jill Biden’s third annual holiday meal for injured military personnel fell on an especially poisonous day of partisan finger-pointing in Washington. A special congressional “supercommittee” admitted that it had failed to cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion.

Vice President Biden did not mention the committee’s collapse. He barely acknowledged the war in Afghanistan or the controversial mission in Iraq, which is drawing to a close next month.

Instead, he spoke briefly about what he said was the country’s most sacred duty.

“We have a lot of obligations as a country,” Biden said. “We have obligations to the young, the old and the infirm. We have only one true sacred obligation, and that is to provide for those of you we send into harm’s way and give you every single, solitary thing that you could possibly need to make the transition back home reasonable and workable. That is the only truly, truly sacred obligation we have.”

To Biden’s right sat Marine Lance Cpl. Stephen Ayhens, 20, who in June lost both legs above the knee when he stepped on a buried bomb in Afghanistan. On Biden’s left was Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, 22, who a year ago survived a blast from a hand grenade.

The dozen troops — 11 wounded in Afghanistan and one in Iraq — were joined by spouses and parents. A fire crackled in the dining room fireplace and glinted off of a crystal chandelier. The troops dined on turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, a fall harvest salad and pumpkin pie.

At a table wedged into the entry­way of the vice president’s home, Jill Biden sat with Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Misiewicz, a 23-year-old from La Grange, Ill., near Chicago.

Misiewicz, a former hockey player who came to the dinner with his mother, lost both legs in Afghanistan’s Sangin district just four months ago.

The most exciting part of his day came several hours before he arrived at the vice president’s official home at the Naval Observatory on Monday and slid his wheelchair next to Mrs. Biden. It happened when doctors decided that his left stump had healed enough for him to get cast for a prosthetic leg.

Misiewicz said he will start off with a “shorty” prosthetic device, a smaller version of the leg that is designed to help amputees learn balance. “I’ll finally start walking,” he said. “I’ve been hopping around on one leg for quite a while.”

Before the meal began, the vice president spoke of one of the few issues that unites both Republicans and Democrats in Washington.

“We are absolutely committed — the president and I, and future presidents will be as well — to making sure that every single breakthrough that occurs in medicine and prostheses is available to you the rest of your lives,” Biden said. “So folks, we love you.”

VERY IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH ALL FELLOW DINARIANS!

I didn't get very far on this chat. I don't recall hearing much from any of these Gurus, but when I saw that Tim can't subtract 4 digit numbers (2011 - 1963 = 48), I got skeptical.

What a great call......I was on the call last night and listened again this morning.....

FYI: Tim did not state ANY date so whomever did the transcript must have put the incorrect date.....its not the date...its the thought.....

And all Yukon was saying is that they had recd many emails...callers were only warned to be very careful as to who they give their personal information to and not to give it up so easily, that is just using good common sense in order to stay protected. One shouldn't open a trust with just anyone just because they make it sound good or right, nor should a trust be opened because someone used a scare tactic to get a person to open one. That should send red flags ups immediately!
