West Texas Intermediate crude also rose 0.9 percent to $76.07.

Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and their allies, the group known as "OPEC +", are facing difficulties in increasing production as the lack of investment continues or maintenance work is delayed due to the pandemic.

Alia Nassif calls for a reduction in the dollar exchange rate after the price of a barrel of oil exceeded eighty dollars

link

Representative Alia Nassif called on the Ministry of Finance to reduce the exchange rate of the dollar after the price of a barrel of oil exceeded eighty dollars, indicating that it is not fair for the poor to pay the price of economic crises, whether they are caused by corruption or the lack of appropriate plans to deal with crises.

And she said in a statement today: "The price of a barrel of oil has exceeded eighty dollars, while the dollar exchange rate is still burdening the Iraqi citizen who pays the price of financial corruption and the absence of appropriate plans to confront economic crises such as the crisis of the previous drop in oil prices and the country's dependence on oil revenues only," indicating: "The working class is the most affected by the rise in the exchange rate of the dollar, because its purchasing power has become unable to cope with the rise in the prices of food commodities and basic materials."

Nassif stressed "the need for the Ministry of Finance to reduce the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar and return it as it was in the past, because there is no need to continue with the high exchange rate and to avoid its negative repercussions on all groups of the people."

9-27-2021   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  I am still hearing fantastic things from my Iraqi sources…they are in a mad push to get the rv done before the end of the month. This is just 3 days away. There are great expectations for Wednesday...Contacts in Iraq think the new rate is coming out on Wednesday. So I am still getting fantastic news from Iraq...I hope this is it…

9-27-2021   Newshound Guru Pimpy 
 Let's listen to the man himself, Dr. Shabibi.  Listen to what Dr. Shabibi says about the exchange rate. Conference Question a few years back:  "...How far do you believe that we are from a potential revaluation?"  SHABIBI:  "Well even if I know the answer I cannot tell you."  When people say, 'Well my inside person told me.'  No they didn't.  This is Dr. Shabibi...I told you to understand in some countries leaking this kind of information is the death penalty.  No person in the right mind is going to tell you the date or the rate.  It's against the law.  That's like having insider trader information...he's very careful with his wording...he can't let anybody at all know one way or another anything about a date or rate.

9-27-2021   Newshound Guru BobTheTaxMan  Gifting assignment [estate planning] - You can use them for the IQD, you can use them for crypto.  They need to be done before the RV.  When is that coming?  ...Friday at 3 o'clock? I don't know when it's going to happen but I tell you this much it's getting closer instead of further away.  You got to get them done before then.  You can use the same documents for IQD or cryptos.  Get those things done...They're unlimited.  You can make a gazillion of these things.  I tell people you can do it in the middle of the night in your underwear.  It doesn't make any difference.  You can make all those that you want...

9-27-2021   Newshound/Intel RVAlready  [Read an article that the Iraqis will start to sell government bonds with 6%-7% rates for two years. Now tell me, would they sell bonds at a program rate for such a long period of 2 years? ...the construction bonds in Iraq are great news!!! RV next, I hope!!!

9-27-2021   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   ...over the weekend Iraq announced they are selling government bondsWhy is this important?...Why does this matter?...Well, ..this is what also happened in Kuwait right before the new rates released…literally the week before they announced their RV they announced they were going to start selling bonds to repair their infrastructure and all of those things…and then BAM…we got a reset there on their currency…this is why that is important...there is great expectation in Iraq right now because of this. They are hoping to see the new rate midweek this week.  

9-27-2021   Newshound Guru Breitling   One of two things.  Iraq is going to add value to the currency or if things go sideways and Iran influence Iraq's markets where they start going negative, we're [The U.S.] going to de- dollarize Iraq - they're going to add value their currency and you better exchange as quickly as possible...the water's still muddy right now...you have 2 options and they're going to add value to the currency.  One, you probably get to stay in a little longer.  The other one you need to get out as quick as possible when they start adding value to it...

9-27-2021   Intel Guru Bluwolf   No matter what is said and done, this RV is a done deal.  It has happened and it shall be distributed.  You will receive your 800 # and you will exchange your currencies to the highest rates  PERIOD...

9-27-2021   Intel Guru Bruce   [via WiserNow]   ...it’s hard to imagine in a way that this is about over – but I believe with the intel that I have ...I believe this should do it...we have people in Iraq that we talk to...and this blew my mind...to find this out...that Iraq had finally been released from the sanctions that the Central Bank of Iraq was under...they were still under sanctions as a result were not allowed to trade their currency openly UNTIL [last week]...

An expert talks about a relationship between the “Binaa” bonds offered by the Central Bank of Iraq and the exchange rate of the dinar
2021.09.27 - 09:43
Baghdad - people

The economist, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, commented, on Monday, regarding the Central Bank’s initiative to offer “construction” bonds, while talking about the relationship between it and the Iraqi dinar exchange rate.

Al-Marsoumi said in a clarification followed by “Nass” (September 27, 2021), that “the Central Bank announced the issuance of bonds of two categories, the first with an interest rate of 6% with a two-year term, and the second with an interest of 7% with a term of 4 years.”

He explained, "In order for the interest rates on these bonds to be real and positive for the buyer of these bonds, the Central Bank of Iraq must pledge not to reduce the Iraqi dinar exchange rate again during the next four years!!".

And the Central Bank announced, earlier, the offering of “Binaa” bonds in denominations of 500 thousand dinars and one million dinars.

And the bank stated in a statement that “Nass” received a copy of it (September 26, 2021) that “in continuation of the role of the Central Bank of Iraq in developing the local financial market and mobilizing savings, the Central Bank offered the first issuance of (construction) bonds of two categories (500,000) dinars (five hundred thousand dinars). ) with annual interest (6%) for two years, and (1,000,000) dinars (one million dinars) with annual interest (7%) for four years.

He added that "buying these bonds will be through authorized banks, which receive purchase requests from those who wish to do so and deliver them a receipt for the amounts of purchasing these bonds, as the central bank issues them and delivers them to the banks within a short period."
