semichdave Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks trooper... OK, so the six million dollar question is... when the Mrs. buys a new coat with my new VISA, is that Trade Bank of Iraq compensated in dinar at 1170 or 1? The plot thickens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That was my question? How can it be international electronically and not paper currency.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker1 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 If they did that they would have to print a lot more currency at the 1170 rate. This could be one of those tells that shouldn't have slipped out, but then again. They are using the dinar as is right now over there. So I have no clue at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrello Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That was my question? How can it be international electronically and not paper currency.. I really like this type of article and think this one is important. But let me look at this from another stand point of the MasterCard credit card. The article states that the credit card will be recognized internationally, not the payment that the purchaser would make to MasterCard for the short term loan you are taking from them. MasterCard has established itself in Iraq's banking community When you use a credit card, you are basically taking a short term loan from MasterCard, and pay the bill with your Iraqi currency. MasterCard can pay for the purchase you made with any currency it wants to and does not have to be the currency where the purchase originated, and the IQD would not have be to be internationally recognized to run these transactions. Don't get me wrong. I think the IQD will be internationally recognized very, very soon. I am simply looking at the transactional aspects of this. I am walking and talking, and probably chewing a little Double Bubble, but I think this is the way it works. Smee, being a banker, you would know about this, right? Is my premise correct?

Carello, I agree with most of what you said however the country in which the transaction takes place may not take the card even if the citizen was told it was internationally recognized. This has happened to myself. You pay the charges in your own currency. You will see that the charge was recalulated to your own currency, the spread determined by the card issuer. This is why I try never to use my cards when I travel. Not always possible, so pay close attention to the price you are paying and keep the receipts. Don't know if this helps, just my personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMissAsh Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 In the basic forms of credit this might not mean much.. but then again if the people do not have faith or the money to place faith this would not matter any way, basically what I am saying is; this may very well be in the works if not already happened in country. A scenario may be helpful, Banks create money in the economy by making loans. The amount of money that banks can lend is directly affected by the reserve requirement set by the Federal Reserve. The reserve requirement is currently 3 percent to 10 percent of a bank's total deposits. This amount can be held either in cash on hand or in the bank's reserve account with the Fed. To see how this affects the economy, think about it like this. When a bank gets a deposit of $100, assuming a reserve requirement of 10 percent, the bank can then lend out $90. That $90 goes back into the economy, purchasing goods or services, and usually ends up deposited in another bank. That bank can then lend out $81 of that $90 deposit, and that $81 goes into the economy to purchase goods or services and ultimately is deposited into another bank that proceeds to lend out a percentage of it.In this way, money grows and flows throughout the community in a much greater amount than physically exists. That $100 makes a much larger ripple in the economy than you may realize! NOW I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT OUR BANKS BARELY LEND IN OUR CURRENT SITUATION, THE DINAR IS AN EVEN MORE PERILOUS PLACE DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO LEND WITH INFLATION ALREADY IN THE DEPTS, THIS COULD BE REALLY GOOD, BUT OF-COURSE THIS A LEARNING PROCESS FOR ME, SO I AM JUST TRYING TO SPARK CONVERSATION WITH FINANCIAL EXPERTS, I FOR ONE AM NOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
