Note :3, 25% of the Reservable Deposits included the government Deposits Since May 2005, then became 75%of Reservable Gov. Deposits since July,2007. So 25% of the Reservable Deposits included the government Deposits Since March 2009. The reserve requirement has dropped from 25 to 20 percent since April 2010. The reserve requirement has dropped from 20 to 15 percent since Sep. 2010

Note :4 Both ( 14 & 30 day ID And 7 & 30 & 90 USD) deposits closed since March,1,2009

While I agree that the reports are not 100%, the IMF is reporting close to the same numbers. I find it hard to believe that they are that far off.

[Blu Collar Guru]

IT'S ALL GREEK TO ME! THE ONLY NUMBERS THAT MATTER WILL BE THE ONES REPRESENTING THE IQD RV AND NEW BALANCE IN MY BANK ACCOUNT!

[zigmeister]

A lot of spreadsheets like these use exactly the same method. At the heading of the line they will state something like (in thousands), or (000's).

It just means that they don't have to input those extra zeros in every cell.

huh....with all respect, but you really believe that? They don't have the means to input the extra zeros? They don't feel like it? They are not educated enough? They don't have the software for those extra zeros? So every country does not have to have the input for those extra zeros in every cell?

[GotSix]

GotSix....qualified is all relative when our own Government accountants are cooking the books.

[TonyDownTheShore]

well I think i............. I know....... maybe not......

Thanks for the post and getting my eyes crossed

[tigerstripes]

huh....with all respect, but you really believe that? They don't have the means to input the extra zeros? They don't feel like it? They are not educated enough? They don't have the software for those extra zeros? So every country does not have to have the input for those extra zeros in every cell?

It's really not about the means, or the ability, or the education. It's about simplicity of numbers.

See attached below from Reserve Bank Of Australia:

http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/xls/d03hist.xls?accessed=2412-18:18:02

You will see that the spreadsheet lists Monetary Aggregates in $billion, rather than writing the numbers with the nine zeros at the end.

And below from the Federal Reserve:

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/current/default.htm

Again, it lists Money Stock Measures in Billions of Dollars, again not using numbers with nine zeros at the end.

Statistical graphs and charts are exactly the same.

[willy1der]

There might be some that feel that way, but a lot actually feel like its just the most solid evidence we have.....Im sure that many could agree that those audits are probly not 100% accurate, but what else are we to go off of??

Keepm, I believe this is what you were trying to point me to. So the 65T or the 55T is what they have printed?

[Stryker365]

Yota,

Good morning, have you found anywhere that shows that the indicator (Billion ID) they are talking about has a note that indicates that actual numbers are in Trillions? I'm not finding it, not saying its not there but I'm black and white when it comes to financials and I need to see it before I believe it. Some one show me so I can just move on to something else. They are right tho it should be in Trillions according to the articles that refer to what is in the Iraq market, 27T or 30T. I am good with Balance Sheets, P & L and full Financials because I have been in business for myself all my working life. Every month we did a close out from the month before and go over every number in the financials as every well run company should do to make sure we are on track. Never tho above the billion mark so that is why I keep asking the questions, am I over looking something here. I'm staying with the CBI info before looking at the IMF numbers just to keep straight. I want to believe them because it makes since but until I see it, l don't understand it.

Here, I pulled this in from CBI this morning;

Key Financial Indicators Documentation

5. Money Supply (M2)

Monthly: Reported by Research & Statistics Department (as at the end of the month,

in billions of Dinar) from the monthly regulatory reports of all commercial banks.

Currency in Circulation outside of banks (see 4.a above)

Deposits in Commercial Banks, excluding central government deposits, interbank

accounts, and accounts of a current nature.

Weekly: Reported by Research and Statistics Department as at the end of every

Thursday.

Currency in Circulation outside of banks is currency put into circulation as

reported weekly by Issuing Dept. less dinar cash in vaults of banks as reported by banks in the

“Monthly Reserve Calculation Period Report of Deposits and Vault Cash” .

Deposits in Commercial Banks, excluding central government deposits, interbank

accounts, and accounts of a current nature as reported by banks in the “Monthly Reserve

Calculation Period Report of Deposits and Vault Cash”

Now this is where we should find the description that refers to the indicator (Billion ID) meaning Trillions they refer to but its not there.

I understand exactly what tigerstripe and the other guys are talking about but where is it?

I am also trying to find where the CBI differentiates the USD and the IQD that is in circulation in their accounting but I have had no luck. To me this is a way they could hide the real numbers, thru the exchange rate.

Anyway more food for thought..

Merry Christmas

Stryker, apparently Ski has some type of accounting in her background. I don't recall any analysis from her, but I do see a wish list. Maybe you can work on putting some of that information together for her. Why don't you start, in your spare time (6 children is no excuse), to pull that CBI P&L together for her? Make sure it is accurate. Get to work!

Remember: Christmas time is for giving.

PS

I am sure that next time there will be a' thank you' in there somewhere for you.

Merry Christmas to you and all of the little elves.
