Fi3ry_Ph03n1x Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 "The CBI is adopting a managed floating policy of exchange rate, through which a reasonable exchange rate is fixed."This means that they are looking to float a rate possibly to find out the try value of the dinar. The key words are "adoptinga managed floating policy". They are creating a action plan to revalue the currency! Floating a rate out on the market is opening it up to be traded internationally! That's great news my friends! Wooowhooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwright Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'm not going to argue..just want to give a opinion...what I interpreted is that at the current rate Iraq has been at basically for many months..that it has become stable and that further reval needs to be looked at..as they had to have a stable rate...just my ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotReallyTex Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) I think what you say makes sense FP. Just the way they worded it, they don't plan on making any changes and they don't think they need to.Like some say it could be a smokescreen but I am keeping an open mind.I don't know as I would say horrible though, I do think in the long run there will be a profit.Sorry FP, no offense but I hope your wrong.

allIneedisonemillionusd Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is very bad news, people. A managed float is a mechanism that central banks use to prevent an exchange rate from changing too much. It does not mean that the rate is going to 'float up'. In the second quote, it clearly says that "the current exchange rate is reasonable and stable..." It is saying that the $43 billion USD that they have in their reserves is enough to support the rate as it is right now (current).In short, the CBI just told us that they have enough in their reserves to support the rate as it is right now, and that they are going to adopt a managed float strategy to maintain it right where it is.More info about what a managed float is at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_exchange_rateFPThe CBI has already been using the managed float system. They control the rising and lowering (float) of the value of the IQD via the auctions. This managed float system is already in affect. The bigger news is that they are even talking about the currency and value. 5 years with almost nothing, the last 2 months almost every week something official about the value of the currency.

krull Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks for the post. I believe the RV will come in the fall. I hope its soon but CBI stating that they want the larger bills back by the end of the year tells me fall. Also Iraq will give us a short window of time mybe 45 days give or take a little to turn in there money that we hold. I look at this as a investment its going to happen not on our time there time.

timsters Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 so fp if we sell them a brick at 1170 dollars now dont you think it would be reasonable to think they would want more buying power , lets say move it up to at least 1 dollar to buy that same brick . so wouldnt this mean that the rate would go up to at least a dollar ? ps. im no expert at this sort of stuff so im just asking?

quadraph0nic Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have my doubts about the statements given. I can't imagine they would tell us what they are going to do anyway.

But I am not yet convinced that they can afford to RV it. I think they will move the Dinar up to 'international levels' by redenominating at some point. Then, in your example, "a brick would cost 1 IQD", but you wouldn't have enough money in the world to buy 45 trillion bricks. That's a lot of bricks, and I don't think that Iraq can cover the cost of all of them. JMOFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayo007 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 just a question? Which of these amount would benefit the Iraq dinar,to have a lop meaning removing 3 zeros,in which I believe reading from the info from websites that Iraq has 25 trillion dinars circulating,if they were lopping the 25 trillion IQD by removing 3 zeros it is worth only 25 billion or RV@ lets say (conservative figure) .86x25 trillionIQD=$215Trillion Dollars!!!!!!!!!

You can throw around terms like encyclopedia and dictionary, but the real question is where they get their information and what is their system for verifying it. I could use wiki software to create a free "encylopedia" and put whatever I want on it. Wikipedia simply can't be trusted as a sole source. This is a sentiment echoed by many educated people. I will look into these other sources though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I feel this might be an old article given a new date.The Oxford University Press Dictionary definition: Of a managed floating exchange rate is the system under which a country's exchange rate is not pegged, but the monetary authorities try to manage it rather than simply leaving it to be set by the market. This can be done in two ways: small fluctuations in the exchange rate can be smoothed out by the authorities buying the country's currency when its price would otherwise fall and selling it when its price would otherwise rise.http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1O19-managedfloatingexchangert.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrengz Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hello? Anyone actually doing any research? If u are then first thing you would notice is that this has been happening for awhile now with the floating system. So do you also remember this little thing called the ERM? Look it up, not going to explain, but these systems are put into place to control supply and demand of a currency. Now is there a demand for worthless currency? Ah now ur thinkin, and what kind of supply do they have. Hmmmmm. And why would they want to control an untradeable and worthless rate? GET IT? because it's NOT going to be worthless and untradeable! Reality check, quit living ur life on this thing and wait for it. Its coming FAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
