Deputy: The exit of the country from the bottleneck is in this case
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee Jamal Koujir affirmed on Thursday that attracting investments and building a real investment budget is the best and most important solution to get out of the bottleneck.
And he said Cougars In an interview with Alsumaria News, "Attracting foreign investment is one of the important factors for the country if it wants to revive its economy and get out of the bottleneck in which it entered, given that no country in the world depends only on its resources," noting that "China, which is one of the strongest economies In the world, half of the money invested in it is foreign investment and it is not Chinese money. "
He added Cougars "Providing an attractive environment for investment, whether by eliminating red tape or providing the security environment for the foreign investor, is necessary to fortify the Iraqi economy, but without that and remaining dependent on local resources and the flabby structure internally, then the country will not advance economically no matter how long."
He continued, "The presence of huge numbers of employees and consumer spending, which amounts to almost 70% of the total budget, there will not be any investment budget that creates jobs and supports the private sector and opens up business prospects."
Deputy: America is the only party obstructing the Iraq-China agreement

Jaber said in a statement to "Information", that "the Americans, from the first moment of the Abdul Mahdi government signing the agreement with China, raised their anger and considered it an advanced step to expel it from the region, and by doing this they carried out a major media campaign through its political tools and tempted to abort that agreement."
He added that "the United States of America is the only party that is still working to abort the agreement because it is part of its cold war with China."
Jaber pointed out that "Al-Kazemi’s government, if it wants to prove the validity of what it claims to work with various international axes for the sake of interest Iraq must comply with the American will and immediately proceed to work with the justified agreement with China, as it is an important part of developing the Iraqi economy in all fields.

7-30-2020 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] We are on – I would say – a day by day account right now – the information that I’ve received from one of our Forex people is pointing towards today/tomorrow [Tuesday/Wednesday] or next week – Tuesday/Wednesday of next week... I don’t think we can write off any particular day – there seems to be a push to get this done by the end of the month - which is Friday...I don’t know if that is going to be the case - it could be – there are things point to it happening kinda – like right away...I really believe we are that close to where we could go any day now...I believe we are within days...
7-29-2020 Newshound Guru Pimpy ...there are a lot of rumors swirling around as usual regarding the dinar. All I want to do is say hey be careful you know better than to get yourself all psyched up and hyped up over these rumors. Now I heard them myself. I've heard them from multiple people that something magical should happen this next week. It's ok to hope that it happens this week but I'm just letting you know to be careful not to act like it's already happened. Because if you start spending your money before you actually get it well then you're gonna be very disappointed...we've been down this road before. Let's just cross our fingers and hope something really exciting happens but stay grounded...I hear all the rumors but I can only show you guys or talk about what I can prove...I know what you're talking about but I can't prove that. It's just hearsay right now. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic but just be careful...
7-29-2020 Intel Guru RayRen98 Citizens were informed that the government is supposedly giving every "poor" person 75k dinar and cancelled some consumer debt for the holiday.

7-29-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Well last night was an exceptionally quiet night for a night that had so much expectation... There are a lot of bankers and people sitting around twiddling their thumbs. I could find zero movement last night in the banking world…I have chased news from Asia, to Europe to out west, Miami and Richmond…and I can find no movement…The banking side and a redemption center contact firmly believes though that we are still looking at this week. They were being prepped for it last weekend. All my banking contacts say we are at “High Alert” so I will agree with that.
7-29-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Where do we stand today? ...First, I want to re-emphasize that we will NOT see the RV in July. I know they did have plans to try to do it but even way back in early June they decided they could not piece it all together in time. They want a “level playing field” with the currencies in the middle east and so they are attempting to do it. Iran, once again, is the obstacle and causing delays on this process. ...I am possibly seeing a window in August but I do not see the CBI firming this as of yet. They are not taking the action necessary to progress in this direction. They should now be re-educating the public if this was the case. They are not. We might be heading for an early 2021 window again. We just have to wait it out and see. But we do know this nonsense of delay, delay can not go on much longer. [post 2 of 2]
7-29-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I know there are lots of rumors floating around about an RV this week... Don’t you think it might be a very good idea to inform the CBI of this impending RV? Don’t they initiate it...? I have said many times already that the CBI will educate the citizens prior to the “project to delete the zeros” and how it will all work. Even though they have done this before they will do it again and again prior to each scheduled attempt. I have talked to my sources in the CBI and they have told me to watch for this re-education and announcements from the CBI as our cue as we get closer to the RV. What more can they tell us? The only thing more would be a date and they are not going to do that, as least directly. However, the CBI has scheduled the project to delete the zeros already three (3) time that we can confirm and know of as a FACT... So if this project was going to be executed in July then where is (was) the news from the CBI? ...There is no news and thus no RV. But this is not the only reason for no RV now.

7-29-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 ...what did we say last week?

And that's what these guys do - these shark these whales, these companies, these entities, these treasury departments, in other words those who have powerful super dollars, big dollars, big bucks. They know when to buy the Iraqi dinar. NOW! And they're buying it left and right. You're seeing the proof of it...What's missing is the announcement... how is it they know? I call it the "white papers"...what do the white papers contain? A rate and a date and the HCL stuff...that means banks already know the rate and the date of the Iraqi dinar - when it's going to be announced don't they? IMO yes.

Condolence
In the name of of Allah the Merciful
"We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return"
With great sadness and sorrow, we received the news of the death of the scholar Mujahid Sheikh Muhammed Baqir Al-Nasiri, who spent his life with knowledge and good deeds and suffered from the oppression of the tyrant, but he remained working for his nation with dedication for the sake of his people, loving to his homeland Iraq, He was calling for openness to everyone in the opposition, to rid Iraq of the nightmare.
After his return to Iraq, he was urging peaceful coexistence, because he lived in concern with the size of Iraq.
We did not need this open spirit and distant horizon
In this circumstance, we face challenges and difficulties in the pursuit of the hopes of our people.
God have mercy on the deceased dear and inspired his family and his lovers patience and solace. Our condolences to his noble family and to the scientific estate
Losing it.
