3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Central: financial sector management electronically end of 2017" Here are a few things I've noticed with all the good news from today...so much talk about system changes that is a huge plus I am thinking...this article and at least one or two others have made mention of dealing with some very large companies and banks...in fact "some of the world's largest companies"...and "the largest banking technology companies in the world"...That all tells me that not [only] is Iraq serious about what is coming but also and this is UUUUGGGGEEEEE IMO...these companies on this grand of a scale are also seeing Iraq as a serious and probably very competitive entity at this time or they would not be looking in this direction...Large companies don't tend to waste their time on losing propositions...they are SUCCESSFUL...for a reason...they pick WINNERS...and IMHO Iraq is a WINNER who is about to step onto the top box to receive GOLD...in a number of ways I tend to believe.
3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Central: financial sector management electronically end of 2017" Quote: "...the current year will see in the fourth quarter sophisticated financially important is linking the banking sector..." This is a huge article! It appears to me that they are stating that this year they expect to open the banking system to the world. That freedom of movement and international transactions will begin. This to me, appears to be confirmation that during 2017 we will see the beginning of currency reform.
3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Aggiedad77 Article: "Iraq receives $ 18 billion from IMF" I find this highly interesting...especially the part about payment to Kuwait for war compensations...they owe Iraq [Kuwait??] $4.5 billion that had been deferred until this year...now they are paying them 9 billion of this 18 billion from the IMF that is just odd to me, unless that is perhaps an agreed upon "extra" amount for loss of properties or bodies not recovered...who knows...and the IMF stipulates they need to reform their financial system...that sounds much like the Monetary Reform to me...so be it...get with the program Iraq...make it so.
3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Revbo Article: "Central Bank: the financial crisis behind us and the next few days are promising" Sounds like they want to get things moving pretty quickly after Mosul is over, and nobody's coming in if they can't get their money out.

3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Phillyman Articles: "Iraqi command says a few meters close from Mosul government complex" "Iraqi forces control most of 2 western Mosul districts, pound Tal Afar" "Iraqi forces launch fresh push in western Mosul battle" "Iraqi forces near government buildings in Mosul as fight against ISIS continues" Obviously the timing of the Mosul operation being complete is all over the place but I wanted to put this quote from the first article here in case you missed it. This is the opinion of a Lt. General, Federal Police Chief: "He said the troops have become a few meters away from the government complex, adding that retaking that area could mean “a 80 percent strategic and moral victory in western Mosul battles”.
3-5-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I mentioned in my weekly...update that I'm getting a bit giddy right now. There's a good reason for it! We are at a tipping point, and this is going to either make us some money, or we're going to be walking away soon. Either way, I think all of us will be happy. Either we make out like bandits or we just say "we enjoyed the ride", right?! Based on what I'm hearing from my people, I am leaning toward the bright side of it.

That is all it is saying. Not that the exchange rate 5000 dinar to 100 dollars. This is right in line with the CBI's statement made on Wednesday. [so what does that mean...?] It means that the CBI has put a system into place that allows them...control of the stability of the dinar in the market place. This systems removes the middlemen and gives them end to end transparency for all transactions. This is exactly what the IMF wants them to do. Very important move on their part.

We can also see the need for a steady rate of the dinar and more purchasing power. Having the dinar at a REAL rate and the rate gauged off the GLOBAL currency exchanges helps to ensure this stability of the currency. So does this mean regions must be fully liberated from ISIS? Yes, of course as this is not me alone telling you this. The CBI itself has told us this many times. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

So the Iraqi dinar is NOT yet trading on the international exchanges at any rate nor will it until there is a reasonable level of SECURITY and STABILITY in the region.
