RV UPDATE BY PAULETTE, 24 JULY

  Paulette 

 Iraq cannot RI without "accepting Article VIII obligations" and cannot do so if they have a MCP.  Dr S said that the "new currency" will co-exist with the 3 zero currency for up two two years in the market and ten within the banks.  They cannot treat the two currencies at different rates and be deemed as having "accepted Article VIII obligations".  Without "accepting Article VIII" obligations, they simply cannot RI...

  Article: "Iraq faces some challenges in its path to joining the World Trade Organization"  It is clear based on this article that Iraq will not be voted today to be full members of the WTO...Iraq has a lot of work ahead of them.  To me, the WTO is totally irrelevant to what we seek.  Apples and oranges.  I hope we see the FULL RI process well before full accession to the WTO.

 Question: "Iraq is supposed to join the WTO this 18th of July, is that correct?"  

 the 18th is the next meeting of the Steering Committee...the Full Assembly would have to vote to allow Iraq full accession...they are not scheduled to meet until early 2026...It would be extremely uncommon for a Steering Committee to only meet with a country 2 times after the initial meeting.  4 to 7 is the usual...this only the second meeting of the Steering Committee for Iraq.

 Community Reminder ["He pointed out that the new currency entry does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about ten years, pointing out that this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the dynamics and mechanics in order to preserve liquidity In the market" This 2016 article says.They will coexist with 10 years.] 

 Exactly! And, this was further clarified that active trading in the Market Place will be upwards of two years while through the banks it would be at least 10...This is what I believe will be told to the citizens when they bring out the Fils and lower notes...IMSO, it won't be a week or 90 days or even 180...Nor will they be cancelling the 3-Zero series for at least 10 years...They are currently following the Dr S plan to a "T"...

It is great to see more articles regarding the "Float"...I strongly believe this is the early stages of the last push by the CBI to educate the Citizens prior to implementing the "Delete the Zeros" project...Patience all...this is slowly coming together.

If you go back and read articles after 7/1/23 you will see that Iraq is still under US/(UK) guardianship (receivership) ...There were calls then for the UN to lift this guardianship but [4/10/2024 Article "Our agency publishes the text of the request of the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, to permanently end the work of the United Nations mission in Iraq."] may now be the first "Official" call that I have seen...The corrupt in the US do not want this to change.....The good news is that IMSO, their days are numbered...

 Iraq's WTO Accession Package will likely not be submitted for adoption until MC14 which will be held in early 2026... It clearly was not submitted for adoption at MC13...I anticipate that by then we really won't care.

 Community Comment: "Iraq on May 9 ascends to FULL membership in the WTO"   I hope you are correct regarding the WTO.  However, the documentable facts and articles regarding this issue would say otherwise.  Don't misunderstand, the documentable facts and articles are EXTREMELY positive.  Iraq, under Sudani appears to be serious about becoming WTO members, opening the country to International trade, moving from a Rentier Economy to a Market Economy and finally implementing the Delete the Zeros Project.  Everyone should be excited even if it takes months more to accomplish...FOR READ MORE: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2024/05/rv-update-by-paulette-14-may.html
