9-26-2019   Newshound Guru Kaperoni
  ...I am 100% positive of what I say because the IMF clearly said it...if it's in print in the IMF document its 100% fact...And if you don't believe the IMF has control over the CBI and only can influence them you're wrong because in 2015 they became trustee of the CBI which has given them authority to implement monetary policy. And we have since seen such action.
9-25-2019   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   The amount of the agreements amounts to some $500 billion (on the surface). Is this China investing in a poor, tattered, and hopeless nationOr is it China investing in a resource rich and soon to be powerful ally?   Quote:   "China, according to the recent agreements will be one of the largest importers of Iraqi oil, and today imports up to 800 thousand barrels of oil per day from Iraq and I expect to rise to one million next year."  ...The multi-million dinar question at this point may be as simple as this: "If China invests 500 billion into Iraq, does Iraq want to pay it back in Pre or Post RV dinars?"...   [post 2 of 2]

9-25-2019   Newshound Guru Adam Montana
  For some time now I have personally had my eye on Iraq's dealings with other countries, much like many of you have.  When it was announced that Iraqi officials were making a special trip to China for some specialized talks, it really perked me up! ...Since then, the China news has just gotten hotter and hotter! Of course none of us knows exactly how this is going to shake out, but it's undeniable that some major movements are taking place...  [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

9-25-2019   Newshound Guru Jeff  ...Iraq is back to being as busy as can be right now.  Basically what this is telling me is they need the remainder of this entire year of 2019 to finish setting the stage for the rate change... they're gonna need the remainder of this year to do it.  Regarding the Education Minister, IMO, they will not even finish that until next year probably around Q1 of next year...so you might as well direct your focus to 2020
 
 
9-25-2019   Intel Guru MarkZ  [What are you hearing on the dong rate?]  I hear it will roll out over there at about .47 but our contract rates will put it in the low $2.00 range. [How long do you think we will have to exchange?We are hearing we will have 45 days to do our exchanges and 45 days to finish...  We hear they want to make sure they have plenty of time to exchange.  [Are we going to the banks this week?]  Wish I could say yes for sure...IMO we will...but that’s just an opinion.

   [via PDK]  We are watching this thing roll out in an amazing way IMO.  We are hearing that audits in the US caused a slight stall but we are still in an anytime mode.  I have nothing negative to say...  I would not be surprised to get a call at anytime saying here is your 800 numbers...go …Still hearing the dinar street rate will be about $3.91 with our contract rate a few dollars higher in the US.   [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

9-25-2019   Intel Guru Frank26   ...the CBI laid out step-by-step-by-step of what they were going to do with monetary reform...they called them phases.  There's three phases they said.  Phase II according to our firefly came to an end Saturday.  Phase III is about to commence...We are in the 4th week of September that's phase III.  What happened yesterday started Phase III pretty much.  
Yesterday the CBI told the citizens,  'look, we plastered out everywhere - you need to be ready...'

9-25-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat
   ...these older 3 zero notes will “coincide” with the new smaller category notes. They will NOT be worthless even at a change to the program rate. Heck, even now they are not worthless. This is a bonified currency. As investors this first step does not mean much to us but does tell us there is no turning back unless they suddenly have massive inflation as a result of it. They probably won’t. So there will be waiting period to check for the inflation. My CBI contact told me it could be 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months. Who knows until they do the program rate change.  [post 2 of 2]

9-25-2019   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Okay so let me go over this stage of the process to delete the zeros once more time...  If the CBI program rate is .00083 then after they delete the zeros it will be .83 or 83 cents. They plan to first do this next step prior to the reinstatement. ...The new smaller category note of 25 will equal the same rate as the 25,000 was. So 25 dinar note x .83 = $20.75 in USD. Now after this CBI program rate changes, Iraqi citizens can then take their 25,000 notes to the bank and turn them in. They will be worth 25,000 x .83 = $20,750.00 in USD. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
 
9-24-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [So Parliament can go against the CBI and do that?no...if the CBI wants to remove the zeros...LOP...they need Parliament approval to do so because it affects the entire country including globally. It is the same thing when you see other laws being passed in Iraq when the government comes forward and says Parliament needs to approve because it's significant, it affects the country a law is required to LOP. But I'm not saying they're going to LOP I'm saying that that is an option but a significant RV is not an option. You can also go look at any other countries including Middle East countries when they remove the zeros from the notes...LOP. They also had to pass a law to do so. [post 2 of 2]

"The military victory over ISIS is important, but we must be aware that there are remnants of the terrorist organization trying to reorganize. Regional tensions and conflicts in the region are serious factors and an environment that gives terrorism a space for promises."

He pointed out that "the continuation of the war in Yemen is a matter of great concern in light of the security and humanitarian repercussions that cast a shadow on the region and the need to support the Yemenis to reach a comprehensive political solution that restores peace throughout their country." His incubator requires real efforts to enable the Syrians to make a lasting political solution. "

He stressed that "targeting the security of the Gulf and Saudi Arabia is a serious development and we in Iraq are concerned about this tension. Our security is linked to the security of the Gulf, the region and the international community must seriously help in the escalation of this escalation. Enough wars, we do not need a new war in the region, especially since the war against terrorism. It has not been conclusively completed. "

He pointed out that "the stability of Iraq is in the common interest of all, the absence or absence of Iraq was an element of tension and instability for the whole region, and Iraq is recovering, we have been for a long period of conflict for others, we paid and paid the region exorbitant prices, in the interest of the region requires that Iraq be a bridge of understanding between His brothers and neighbors. "

He added: "We renew the call to build a common security system in the Middle East, and the establishment of an economic integration system and political coordination to eradicate terrorism and ensure stability, we do not want our country to be a party to the regional and international conflict and no arena for settling scores. Iraq will not be part of the axis against another, will not Iraq is the starting point for aggression against any neighboring countries. We do not want a new war and we do not wish that any people suffer from the scourge of wars as we have suffered.

Saleh added: "Iraq is on the verge of positive developments important security, political and economic. We must evaluate these positive developments and build on them in the light of security stability achieved so far, this stability achieved is an important achievement and must be preserved and not to compromise."

He concluded by saying: `` A stable and democratic federal Iraq will be the starting point for reuniting its brothers and neighbors and enhancing the understanding and consensus of the countries of the region to create a regional system based on economic integration, common security and stability achieved in Iraq is precious and important and we expect our neighbors and the international community not to hold Iraq the consequences of their differences and disputes.
