"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 18 JAN

 Mnt Goat  

 The news...could not get any better. I know we all await news of the accession of Iraq to the WTO. Many have asked if Iraq has already completed the accession process. I will tell you they have completed it and we are waiting for the announcement of full accession but there is some legislation requirements that must be met firstWhy is the WTO important for our investment in the dinar?

   It is important because Iraq will need an international currency in order to trade with the international markets.

NO, the RV did not yet happen! But we all should know the process is in motion. How can anyone deny it when we look at all the progress made in 2023 on currency reform. The dinar and dollar crisis filled the headlines every day.

 I asked [my CBI contact] what rate the CBI wants to bring the parallel rate of the dollar down to? 

 I was told at least around the “official” CBI rate. They are driving to have them match very closely. In consultation with the IMF this is what they are now mandating and is in the plan. When this is reached and stable, the committee will be notified to begin the process of deleting the zeros and move ahead with it.
