The discussion in Iraq is not an RV but a currency exchange LOP. Symposiums were held last fall to educate many of the citizens on such an event. There would be little to no gain, in fact, based on the numbers published it would be a loss if they did so.

Community Comment: "Seems like there's some good news & some so not good. I have the feeling we aren't close, by a long shot."
I pointed out a few months ago that Iraq was ending the currency auction at the end of this year. Nothing is going to happen with the dinar until after that and they begin to diversify their economy.

The Iraqi dinar is a currency of a country it's not a lottery ticket. There is no magical RV...Owning dinar is risky, which may strengthen over time, but it's a long-term investment.
Article: "Iraq speeds up steps to join WTO" Those that follow me know that we posted information that stated the Central Bank of Iraq planned to end the currency auctions at the end of this year, joining the WTO sometime next year would also benefit them.

Seems to be a lot of hype lately that people are getting excited for some Dinar RV. Not how currencies work. Iraq has a lot of work to do...If and when the dinar goes up in value it will be based on the success and growth of Iraq's economy.

Article: "Mazhar Muhammad Salih: Our cash reserves are the highest and there are no fears of the dollar rising" This is good news.

Question: "So the RV tomorrow 3:00? Lol" You need to change your thinking. There is no RV, never will be one. The only way that dinar can go up in value is 'gradually' over time based on the success and growth of Iraq's own economy.

Article: "Establishment of the Commercial Arbitration Center in Iraq" Article quote: "the importance of commercial communication with various countries around the world and organizing relations in a way that achieves mutual benefit for all parties, especially as Iraq is on the verge of rejoining the World Trade Organization (WTO). He explained
that this project comes as one of the achievements within the file of Iraq's accession to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)." WTO requirement. Establishment of the Commercial Arbitration Center in Iraq
Article quote: "new pipeline project at an amount estimated at approximately 6.5 billion Iraqi dinars ($4.9 billion)" Community Comment "The mathematical 'mistake' basically equals 1.32. This seems very very coincidental to the deletion of the zeros." Referencing the exchange rate in billions rather than trillions is an easy mistake to make. It happens all the time and everyone thinks there's something to it. Wrong.
Question: "What happens now that the auctions are soon to be over?
What does this mean for the Dinar holders out there Kap?" It means monetary policy is changing after 20 years to reflect the economic changes in Iraq. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Floating the currency is the best option but only once they have created a diverse economy that is not dependent solely on oil.
...New currencies coming out in Iraq. Not true, the Iraqi dinar is the currency of Iraq. As far as any new smaller denominations, they will be introduced only as needed if and when the value increases and warrants so. There is no significant RV!
--...The dinar to float at well over a dollar. Unlikely, the dinar when it floats will be whatever the current exchange rate is and could rise gradually accordingly.
Community comment: "Today the cbi says there are no new printing of bills"
That is correct. The Central Bank does not randomly print currency unless it's to replace damaged or worn out notes. There is no need for a new currency unless it is warranted. Moving to digital will eventually reduce physical notes.
Question: ----"They have a very largebudget ,without an increase in rate how do they meet the projects that is lined up?"
External expenses are paid in dollars since their primary revenue is dollars. Dinar is used to pay salaries, etc. in country.
CCommunity Comment: "Hopefully in the next 5 yrs we will see an appreciation of the currency price, based on the last year of progress." I agree! Iraq has an excellent opportunity now to diversify their economy and develop the banking system.
Much of the float articles that we have seen have concerns about speculators that is because they are referencing dealers speculating within the country. That will not happen.
