9-22-2019   Intel Guru RayRen98   Even though it's Sunday and MOST banks are closed up tight today...Some exchangers did report to their respective exchange center locations and have been working "on location" for seven straight days now, hmmmmmm?  A bank in Virginia was reported having a full parking lot and armed security officers escorting people to their cars as they exited the bank. Say What?

9-22-2019   Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf    "Five Trillion Dinars in Circulation Now, Tlar Saleh"   People really need to understand the difference between currency in circulation and currency circulated. The CBI accounts show an amount in respect of their liability for currency in circulation which includes all currency such as bank deposits and out of the country. The article is referring to circulated currency, do people really think that currency in bank accounts and out of Iraq gets worn out and damaged and in need of replacement.  As for the auctions, just part of the circulation mechanism. One of the methods used to convert the USD income revenue into dinar to fund the budget. The 2019 budget was around 130 Trillion dinar, where does the money come from if not from converting USD to dinar.
 
9-22-2019   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   [Will the Dinar come out around .01 cent to.10 cents to the USD, then float from there?]  I think I've heard people suggest 10 cents to the dollar...I'll dig around and see if I can find a source... 

9-22-2019   
Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "MOHAMMED SALEH: THE DEFICITS IN THE BUDGET HYPOTHETICAL, AND THAT THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF IRAQ IS REASSURING AND DOES NOT THREATEN FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY"   Quote:  "the reserve of the central bank along with the reserve of the government amounted to 87 billion dollars, and this is very positive gives a great resilience to the state in the most difficult circumstances."  So the TRUTH will set you FREE. No real deficit and plenty of money to re-mint the needed coins. But we know from 2012 there are already plenty of coins to launch to begin the process anyhow. How was DR shabibi going to do this in September of 2012 anyhow if there was no coins already minted? ...Remember there is opposition to changing the currency and some are happy with the current level of corruption. Why? Because they are in on the take.

9-22-2019    Newshound Guru  Kaperoni   ...The CBI publishes a quarterly report showing how much dinar, the IMF publishes a yearly report. And several news articles over the years have come out and told as well how much dinar is in circulation. All three of those add up to a pretty factual statement that 42 + trillion exists. And again nobody has proven once that that amount is wrong.  Even if the 42 + trillion was wrong and it was say 10 trillion it's still too much money for Iraq to ever significantly RV.  No country can support 1 trillion in currency let alone 42.  ...they'll never significantly RV it's not possible...they could Lop or do what the IMF proposed which is float and in my opinion is the most likely due to the fact that they are working behind the scenes to create a market economy to create the conditions for a float.
.
 
9-21-2019   Newshound Guru Whitelions   the news coming out is Fantastic we all should be very excited...

9-21-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   ...I am reassuring everyone now that the step following this one is to reinstate the IQD and NOT to move the program rate to the exchanges such as FOREX but rather to re-peg the IQD to an SDR basket. This and only this, is what is going to force the rate to change from the program rate they have today...If all goes according to their target dates this could occur any day now. We are already in mid-September. But remember this is not the reinstatement and we can not yet go to the bank to exchange. This is solely going to happen inside Iraq...They are also not going to post anything in the Gazette when the reinstatement happens. It will appear in the news channels as this is the place for this kind of news. The Official Iraqi Gazatte is NOT a news source.  [post 2
 of 2]
 
9-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I have said over and over again that the next step is to issue the smaller of the small category notes and coins (250,500 and 1000 already issued) and then to change the program rate by deleting the zeros. For instance, a program rate of .00083 will become .83 or 83 cents. It will still remain pegged at the de-facto peg solely to the US dollar at this point, as it is today. ...Is this changing the rate? Yes... The goal of the CBI is to monitor the inflation rate after they make this next move. This could be 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months. My take is it will be about a week...
