 Vietnam is making major financial news.  Vietnam factory activity returns to growth status after the pandemic, tourist arrivals increased by 73.6% in January and retail sales are still growing for the 26th straight month.  The inflation rate is at a five month low of 3.7%.

  Overall Vietnam has green lights on all growth patterns...Vietnam knows precisely what to do to bring the value of its currency back into the line of profit ...

 We are not living a pipe-dream.  The IQD and the VND investments are real...Iraq is a small wealthy country...with gold reserves, oil and $100 billion in cash reserve.  They are making serious effort...It is safe to say that an appreciation of $0.10 or even $1.00 to 1 Iraqi dinar is not out of the question.

"BANKS VS REDEMPTION CENTER RATE DEBATE RESPONSE" BY FNU LNU, 12 FEB

  Fnu Lnu 

  [Bank vs Redemption Center Rate Debate response]  

The law of one price...states that the price of an identical asset or commodity will have the same price globally, regardless of location...The law of one price takes into account a frictionless market, where there are no transaction costs, transportation costs, or legal restrictions, the currency exchange rates are the same, and that there is no price manipulation by buyers or sellers.

The law of one price exists because differences between asset prices in different locations would eventually be eliminated due to the arbitrage...The arbitrage opportunity would be achieved whereby a trader would purchase the asset in the market it is available at a lower price and then sell it in the market where it is available at a higher price.  Over time, market equilibrium forces would align the prices of the asset.  This should clear up the misconception of getting a better rate at a bank versus a redemption center, etc.... The rate will be the rate, no matter where, due to the law of One Price.

Why don’t you punish UAE banks as well? An Iraqi expert opens fire on Washington, 11 FEB

 Why don’t you punish UAE banks as well? An Iraqi expert opens fire on Washington

Baghdad – 964
The Iraqi economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, asked a group of questions about the file of American sanctions imposed on a large number of Iraqi banks, indicating that Baghdad is not the only one that deals with Iranian trade, but rather the UAE and Malaysia do so, as do some British banks and other economic bodies, and he suggested that Iraq attract Foreign advisors to participate in negotiations with Washington on a matter whose consequences appear to be significant.

America’s sanctions on Iraqi banks are based on “suspicion” and we need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs…a banking expert
Manar Al-Obaidi, in an interview with journalist Ahmed Al-Tayeb, followed by Network 964 :
There is always a question to be asked, why does the United States place sanctions on Iraqi banks? In fact, if we look at the surroundings of Iraq and neighboring countries, we find that many of them do not adhere to the sanctions.

The best evidence of this is the volume of trade exchange between Iran and the UAE, which amounts to $17 billion. Iranian oil is also sold to Malaysia and then transported to China, amounting to $29 billion.

Two days ago, a report was issued by the famous Financial Times newspaper, talking about two British banks facilitating money transfers to Iran, so the world is not completely controlled, and Iraq is not the only one not in compliance.

There is a gap in the political dealings with the American side. The Americans do not know the nature of the relationship with Iraq. Sometimes they say that they are with us, and at other times they are against us.

Today, any country in the world has economic relations with Iran, but why does the American side not impose sanctions on these countries, simply because these countries have lobbies led by businessmen under the principle of common interests, so I think that the problem with Iraq is the lack of a body that conveys the Iraqi point of view away from… The government side. If we look at the channels of communication between the Iraqi and American sides, the only channel is the official bodies.

I am not with the idea that there are no sound Iraqi banks. Certainly there are sound banks, just as there are banks that do not deserve to be called banks. But the problem with the banks in general is that they did not bring in foreign advisors capable of sitting with the US Federal Reserve and the US Treasury to understand the quality of the sanctions. imposed, and in fact there are banks that do not yet know why they were punished.

The impact of the sanctions did not stop on the sanctioned banks themselves. Rather, even the non-sanctioned banks no longer know what measures they are supposed to take to protect themselves from the sanctions. Here we must not just throw the ball in the government’s court, but rather the banking sector must create a team of foreign advisors that It has relationships with the Treasury and the Fed, going beyond the idea of ​​government communication.

"THEY HAVE RECEIVED FUNDS" BY ROD STEEL VIA GINGER OF THE LIBERTY LOUNGE ROOM, 11 FEB

 Latest from Rod Steel ~ 2.10.24

My friend spoke to Patriot Rod Steel today, and he confirmed that he's spoken with some bond people and they have received funds.

More details from Rod:  "I was told the paperwork was just completed and the Admiral is going to release everything on Monday."

Rod continues: "The Iraq Government will reveal the new ‘lower denomination’ notes this week and then release the new Dinar Rate (4+) to be published in the Government Gazette on Sunday and then go on FOREX this coming Monday, the 12th". ROD

My very close friend vetted this information with two other contacts. One who is very close to the Admiral - as in working alongside him on a daily basis. And the second gentleman is extremely close to those on the Bond side who are clued into the details regularly. They both are in alignment with Rod's news also - so that's extremely encouraging. We also know that Mark is hearing similar stories. 

More from Ginger: I cannot give details because I'm sworn to secrecy, but allowed to say that the papers have been signed by people we know AND others have heard happy news from their group leaders on the T3 Bond side. I personally do not know of anyone in T3 who has liquid, spendable funds as of yet, but I'm extremely pleased with all of the news we're getting. I'm grounded and steady - remaining optimistic.  2.10.24

Experts Determine Ways To Control The “Parallel Dollar”, 11 FEB

 Experts Determine Ways To Control The “Parallel Dollar”

Economical  02/11/2024   Baghdad: Haider Falih Al-Rubaie  Specialists in economic affairs have identified a number of factors that would control the exchange rate of the parallel dollar, stressing that granting the private industrial sector financial and administrative facilities could lead to moving the wheel of production and reducing imports that are financed with the parallel dollar from the black market.

Stressing the importance of doubling loans that would establish a production base capable of meeting the local market’s requirements for goods and materials.

Economic calls have increased remarkably, demanding that loans and credit facilities granted by banks to the private sector be directed towards activating and increasing production processes, indicating that these facilities exceeded 50 trillion dinars last year 2023, but they did not contribute to increasing gross domestic product rates, stressing at the time He stressed the importance of building more bridges of trust between investors, businessmen and companies with government and private banks with the aim of facilitating the granting of loans directed towards increasing local production.

The specialists' calls come at a time when the government has intensified its efforts to eliminate the rise in exchange rates in the parallel market, which has greatly affected the movement of buying and selling goods and materials in the local markets. Following a package of decisions that contributed to closing the gap that occurred earlier between the official and the parallel dollar,

A government source revealed earlier that electronic cards were issued to small merchants with a ceiling of $100,000 per month.

The new government step was met with economic welcome, which emphasized the importance of this measure in eliminating the significant rise in parallel exchange rates and reducing the jumps in the green currency, in addition to its importance in covering the prices of imported goods at the official dollar rate, thus achieving great stability in the local markets.

Economist Manaf Al-Sayegh said during his talk to “Al-Sabah” that “a large part of the solution lies in establishing a large production base capable of meeting the requirements of local markets and blocking the path to import operations that require huge sums of money from the dollar,” pointing out the necessity of “developing a strategic plan that begins with In the form of stages that include the significant qualitative advancement of the industrial and agricultural sectors, which constitute the backbone of the national economy.

Al-Sayegh also urged “the importance of the strategy including real steps to reform the banking and financial system in the country, and adapting it in a way that can be parallel to what developed countries have achieved in banking transactions, as well as moving towards reforms related to the trade balance, which can stimulate the movement of local production and exports.”

National economy, thus significantly reducing the demand for the parallel dollar, pointing out that creating a balance between exports and imports is an important step to revitalize the national economy and enable it to achieve growth in all its sectors, thus diversifying sources and significantly reducing dependence on the oil sector.

In turn, economic expert Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi explained in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that the decline of the dollar index against the Iraqi dinar is on its way to decline, pointing to the seriousness of the monetary authority in diversifying currency reserves, as well as expanding the circle of payments from other currencies, not to mention simplifying Brief access to the electronic platform.

Al-Marsoumi stressed the importance of resolving problems related to trade with neighboring countries, by finding other ways to trade with those countries in order to find a close price between the official and parallel dollars.

The Governor of the Central Bank had confirmed in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency “INA” that “the indicator of the success of monetary policy in any country is controlling the general level of prices and reducing inflation,” explaining that “inflation has now decreased significantly compared to the beginning of 2023, which...

“It indicates that foreign trade is covered by the official rate and that foreign financing operations are taking place smoothly, and all importers and traders can obtain and control the dollar at the official rate.”

Al-Alaq pointed out that “the Central Bank’s following of the rules and principles of external transfer in accordance with the conditions and requirements it set and its insistence on implementing them has prompted many hesitant merchants to enter the platform for selling foreign currency, especially since its use is easy and safe and it provides them with the dollar at the official rate.”

Al-Alaq pointed out that “the Central Bank confirms the possibility of meeting all requests for the dollar, whether personal, commercial, or any kind, as long as they are valid and legitimate.”

If you remember, all of the times, I have said this over and over – it’s back to back, so who cares if he comes back into office within 30 minutes after we start the RV? The money has to move first – that has been told to be for five years, so the RV has to happen first or Trump cannot come back. 

We’ll get notification, then immediately after,  they’ll announce the aspects of Nesara and then it’ll go “back to back” from there, within minutes or hours, but people have to stop caring about the order of events because it’s back to back. 

OK my advisor said within 72 hours everything would happen. He also told me the government would flip over night. Hopefully that helps.

"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 11 FEB

 Pimpy

   I've heard this story a zillion times - It [the Iraqi dinar] used to be $3.22 so if you adjust for inflation it's going to be much higher.  If that was the case do you understand how much higher the Kuwait dinar would be

 It's around the same as it was 7,8, 10, 20 years ago. 

 You don't see them go, 'Hey this year we raised a whole other dollar because of inflation.'   No.  That's just ridiculous.  I've heard that all before.  It's not adjusted based on inflation...There is no currency exchange out there right now that you can find that's even remotely close to $4 let alone $7...

Iraqi dinar is pegged to the US dollar.  If the dollar starts to lose value because the interest rates are being cut, then is this the time for Iraq to de-peg away from the dollar?  

...No, you just don't do it.  You have to weigh the pros and the cons of it.  Yes I would like to see Iraq de-peg from the US dollar but I also want to make sure they are set up to do so before they do that...Sure the value of the dollar is going to drop, should Iraq de-peg itself and be independent and make their own decisions with the possible risk of it losing value instead of it gaining value?
