The World Bank: The gap widens between rich and poor countries

Eastern News -
The world is facing "interesting contradictions," according to a World Bank report published at the Dubai Investment Forum, attended by officials and decision-makers from 140 countries. "The number of people living in" extreme poverty " $ 1.25 a day over the past three decades. " "The widening gap between the wealthiest and poorest countries in the world is widening," he said, noting that foreign direct investment "plays a large role in its expansion."
The World Bank monitored three steps within a logical framework, which it considered "essential to the creation of a complex investment policy, the most important of which is to help governments connect points between variables at different levels, affecting ways in which developing countries can engage in the global economy, From prioritizing and arranging priorities to a local reform agenda. " In addition, «help transform the vision of any country for investment and reform to concrete actions applied».
The report pointed out that the process through which countries can apply the logical framework for achieving the three objectives is what can be called the "investment reform map". He stressed three "fundamental" proposals that policymakers must take into account in defining a modern investment vision for development in the era of globalization. The policy of investment and development is linked to domestic and foreign investments, and investments in general and direct ones in particular are not homogenous.
The third suggestion is that "investments are not just financial operations, but rather a phased relationship between different stakeholders." "The investment classification framework" helps countries distinguish between the benefits, challenges and impacts of different types of investment, "said Roberto Ishandi, head of investment policy at the World Bank.
The World Bank "works with governments to engage in defining the determinants of investment reform, and helps government clients improve investment competitiveness." The analysis of investment competitiveness analyzes "the constraints of the investment climate and opportunities in countries, consisting of seven units of measurement within three Sections, to allow for a demand-driven approach, stereotyped according to the needs of the country. "
"Technical assistance focuses on helping countries to reduce and rationalize the use of legal and regulatory barriers, identifying and reforming procedural barriers through streamlining processes, and discussing and addressing de facto regulatory barriers by promoting greater transparency, confidence, and improved governance in the investment entry system," he said.
In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) linkages and side effects, the report cited the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), which reported that foreign direct investment flows in developing economies reached record levels of $ 681 billion in 2014 with total FDI stocks in countries Developing countries exceed $ 8.3 trillion

CBI Update:
The CBI for Thursday, April 6, 2017 did update on the indicative rates and the sell rate for the USD is 1184. The currency auction is 162,242,266. There are no updated news and announcements for Thursday, April 6, 2017.
ISX Update:
The ISX latest update is Shares Traded is 919,207,965 and Values Traded is 617,682,388. The ISX ended in GREEN.
TNT Intel Update for 04/05/2017:
It is being reported that PM Abadi announced on TV the Iraqi Dinar revalue 6:1 at the international rate.
(However, the rate has NOT yet changed....stay tuned)
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE NO MORE DONATIONS WILL BE NEEDED.......STAY TUNED!!!
Blogs:
Frank26 They are removing the USD from the streets from the citizens. The citizens must stop using the USD and other foreign currencies. The MCP (multi-currency practice) must end. They are dropping the 3 zeros in 2 different ways. #1 -- Stopping the usage of the USD’s – taking them away from the citizens. #2 -- They must simplify the exchanging the of the currency. The goal is to get to 1,000 to 1...but once they are there (including stability/security) they will move QUICKLY to 1 to 1. The market will carry 1 to 1 inside of Iraq...lead to a higher rate OUTSIDE of Iraq. I think $1.12 - $1.14 once it goes outside of Iraq. IOO...IT’S COMING.
Many people are returning back to the liberated cities in Iraq. The UN wanted to make sure that the displaced people were ok...and locating properly for the HCL. If they lifted Chapter VII...that would be a MAJOR step in the MR [Monetary Reform] of the IQD. Abadi said that they are in the last phase of Mosul. I disagree...you are in the last phase of the currency reform...
The BIG Call (via Bruce)Nothing is going to happen until Iraq is ready. We had a celebration in Iraq. There was a delegation to witness the announcements of Iraq returning to sovereignty and release of chapter 7 of the UN. Basically the return of sovereignty and revalued rate of their currency. We know the liberation of Mosul also was announced. We know that is something that was celebrated by having the two new flags flying on either side of the Tigris River. We know that in the mosque a few day s ago, Iraq had made an announcement that their currency is 6 times the value of the USD. When it comes to timing with this...I found out there are additional things going on that is keeping this held up slightly. It is a plan that is moving forward. It is in a sense on autopilot. This week looks really good. I am feeling really good the possibility of anytime between now and the weekend. I am excited where we are and where we are going.

4-6-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "Iraq: Confidence is in the Air" Quote: "This confidence boost may be the starting pistol on Iraq’s Road to becoming a market economy." ...remember the CBI is looking for STABILITY and SECURITY, two buzz words that keep appearing in all the articles from the CBI, IMF and the UN in general,...can you say revaluation...
4-6-2017 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...are you still as positive this week about the HCL being implemented as you were a few weeks ago?... and can Iraq change the rate anytime they want throughout the year or does it have to be done by the first quarter?] Absolutely yes! And they can do this any time they want, there are absolutely no real restrictions. "Any given Sunday", as they say... or Monday, Tuesday, etc. [Do you think is possible to see an RV in 2017...] YES, emphatically so!

4-5-2017 Newshound Guru Kaperoni "REPORT: Is the Iraqi dinar Recovering?" Quote: "With the economic boom led by the oil industry in Iraq, the national currency will rise eventually to reflect the true value of the oil indispensability of the country. It is likely to happen up when the central bank raises the value of the dinar." Nice to hear them talk about the potential and process for the dinar. That being said, Iraq has not passed a significant law in quite a while even though many have called for them to do so. Yes, the banking system has made progress the last year under the guidance of the IMF, but it's time Iraq does it's part and pass the laws, to create the environment for investment. Then we shall see what happens.
4-5-2017 Intel Guru RayRen98 The banking community says that it is happening any time. It could be another minute, hour, day, week, or even month; I don’t have anything definitive one way or the other. My Iraqi sources are saying “it is done; we don’t know why you haven’t seen it over there.” My best sources says we are just waiting, and “we will contact you”.
4-5-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I am very optimistic that the UN will allow Iraq an exit from many more Chapter 7 – sanctions or maybe move them to Chapter 6 as related directly to running their “closed” economy. As long as they are doing as the IMF and UN have laid out for them in the Stand-By-Agreements (SBAs)– there is no reason to believe the UN (with the helping hand of the IMF) won’t support a return “international acceptance and integration”…and that is all any of us really care about... This is when we go to the bank… When the IQD does actually have any significant value change it will be all over the news...you will surely know. It will be very public and very apparent. [post 2 of 2]
4-5-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the news coming out of Iraq has changed its tone. It is no longer all about fighting ISIS or the political rivals and bickering but rather it has moved on to seriousness about the Iraqi economy and financial sectors. It is now all about bringing the needed investments into Iraq and to grow their economy. My personal opinion is we are on the verge, the very edge of a huge major change in their economy...it will not be much longer until they have to (forced to) to switch out of the “artificial” “program” rate and get relief from the UN sanctions that are now holding them back. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Have you seen the news about HCL? Have you noticed how laser focused Abadi is, on so many things? That guy is a MACHINE! The party is getting prepped! Heck...some of the stuff I'm seeing from the GURUS is starting to mimic a bit of what I am personally hearing from my contacts in Iraq and in the financial world. THAT kind of situation is amazing! In fact, there's a lot of talk about APRIL being "the month"... I am not going to confirm that I am feeling that same thing, but it's not out of the running. We are seeing INCREDIBLE movement right now, both in the public news sector and also in the private channels I use. The bottom line...is that we are playing in a BIG playground and the IQD is poised to be a BIG deal worldwide! I'm currently about as excited as I have ever been about this situation!

The bottom line...is that we are playing in a BIG playground and the IQD is poised to be a BIG deal worldwide! I'm currently about as excited as I have ever been about this situation!
4-5-2017 Newshound Guru loop Article: "Iraq: Confidence is in the Air" Quotes: "...there was a strong sense that Iraq’s fortunes are turning a corner..." “Confidence has returned to Baghdad — it is in the air! Baghdad is confident again, and it’s absolutely wonderful.” The IBBC (Iraq Britain Business Council) Spring Conference has started.
4-5-2017 Intel Guru Bruce Nothing is going to happen until Iraq is ready. We had a celebration in Iraq. There was a delegation to witness the announcements of Iraq returning to sovereignty and release of chapter 7 of the UN. Basically the return of sovereignty and revalued rate of their currency. We know the liberation of Mosul also was announced. We know that is something that was celebrated by having the two new flags flying on either side of the Tigris River. We know that in the mosque a few day s ago, Iraq had made an announcement that their currency is 6 times the value of the USD. When it comes to timing with this...I found out there are additional things going on that is keeping this held up slightly. It is a plan that is moving forward. It is in a sense on autopilot. This week looks really good. I am feeling really good the possibility of anytime between now and the weekend. I am excited where we are and where we are going

Prime Minister Dr. Haider Abadi: Fighting corruption is a priority of the government
Prime Minister Dr. Haidar al-Abadi stressed that combating corruption is a priority of the government despite the many difficulties and the war against terrorism and the financial crisis due to the decrease in oil revenues, but we are pleased in this line.
This came during the speech of His Excellency in the national consultations to combat corruption and promote transparency in the public sector under the patronage of the Prime Minister and in the presence of the United Nations Development Program in Iraq and international experts in the fight against corruption.
The Prime Minister said that one of the steps we have taken in the fight against corruption was in the security establishment because the corruption contributed to the entry of an advocate, so today our national forces welcome in all provinces and achieve victories.
He explained that some people are trying to confuse the papers by increasing the accusation of corruption without evidence, calling on the regulatory authorities to continue their plans to fight corruption and not to be dragged to the plans of others by dumping them with malicious and other issues to waste their effort. "We do not want the citizen to feel that there is an obligation on him, so we have reduced the salaries of the officials.
"Today, despite the financial crisis, Iraq has improved its credit rating, put pressure on expenditures and became more interested in weaker classes," he said.
Dr. Abbadi said that what is sad is when going to the provinces there are several projects spent billions of dinars without benefiting the citizen, pointing out that there are great steps we have taken and walk on the right path.
