IN 2023 THERE WAS AN APPEAL ON THE ACTUAL BUDGET... BUT WAS RULED OUT THROUGH THE COURTS. THE TRIPARTE BUDGET WAS LEGALLY PASSED, SENT TO THE PRES. WHO SIGNED IT AND WAS PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE.
Today's Article Quote: "I do not think there will be an appeal, and even if there is an appeal, the budget will be spent, because it was voted on and its issue was decided legally." THERE IS NO APPEAL ON THE BUDGET SCHEDULES THAT WERE JUST PASSED BY PARLIAMENT AND IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO BE SIGNED BY PRES. BECAUSE THE BUDGET WAS ALREADY PASSED...THE MOJ HAS IT NOW AND WILL PUBLISH WHEN READY.

Article: "Iraq is preparing to establish a project that will change the oil map.. Will it affect energy producers?" Quote: "Included the project of this new pipeline with an estimated amount of 6.5 billion dinars or $4.9 billion." Think about what they just said, 6.5 billion Iraqi dinar equates to $4.9 billion...It is like saying the dinar is worth 1.32 to $0.76...That to me will be considered a REER.
All we're looking for now, to some degree, is when are they going show these amendments to be law. We heard different things about the president having to sign, not sign, we have 15 days time frames and people are debating on when that time frame starts - was it June 3rd or was it the day he received it? Do we know the exact day he received it? I don't. But we know our time is short...Once the amendments are passed into law, we'd like to think that prior to that they're going to expose the new real effective exchange rate and probably mention they've done the project to delete the zeros which get you the nominal effective exchange rate.
----
If they have a real effective exchange rate like al-Sudani said, that the dinar is going to be stronger than the dollar, the parallel market goes away...Obviously the stronger the currency is the cheaper it is for Iraq to do what they need to do. It's a no-brainer. It's that simple.
The black market is going to exist if the United States dollar is less than the Iraqi dinar...There's not much demand for the dollar now...They've got it under control. Is it showtime? I sure hope so.
I don't care if you've been in this for 20 years. What we're seeing now is completely different. It's a progression. Some people don't like the progression. They just want it to be over and done. Welcome to the club.
You kind of need the IMF article VIII compliance and that's what we're waiting for which is a real effective exchange rate. I think these guys are about ready to expose that. I think al-Sudani...Alaq from the Central Bank of Iraq all of them have this in their eyes to see this come to fruition and very quickly...
Anybody going with Sudani is going against the mafias and going against those that are going to have their dollar auctions dry up.

Sudanese adviser reassures Iraqis: No cash problems, 19 JUNE
Sudanese adviser reassures Iraqis: No cash problems
Baghdad – Mil
Prime Minister’s Advisor Madhar Mohammed Saleh confirmed on Monday that Iraq has ranked a distinguished position with international groups that follow the best banking compliance systems, making it safe from any international financial risks, denying the existence of cash problems.
Saleh said, according to the official agency, and followed by “Mil, that “the mechanisms of cash issuance are one of the exclusive competencies of the Central Bank of Iraq because it is the issuing bank based on its Law No. 56 of 2004,” noting that “what is published here and there about problems in cash liquidity is far from the firm institutional basis of the monetary authority in Iraq, which is one of the most important authorities concerned with the issues of availability of cash and the stability of the payment system, which adds the sustainability of the stability of transactions in the national economy.”
He added, “Managing cash, building the cash foundation and controlling the country’s liquidity levels is subject to the principle of a long-term scheme consistent with the achievement of the operational objectives of monetary policy in order to achieve the intermediate goals of stability, sustainable economic growth and the determination of long-term cash flows.”
Saleh indicated that “Iraq has occupied a distinguished rank among the international financial groups that follow the best international banking compliance systems, which makes our country safe from any international financial risks,” pointing out that “Iraq is an essential pillar in regional and international financial cooperation institutions in the scope of combating money laundering, crime and terrorism funds.”
He pointed out that “Iraq recently received a clear positive praise in its strong anti-money laundering policies at the Financial Action Organization conference for the Middle East and North Africa region held in the Kingdom of Bahrain, a certificate from the international financial community confirming the solidity of the financial and banking system in Iraq with the principles of compliance and the integrity of financial and banking operations.”

"QFS CONVERSATION" WITH GOLDILOCKS, 19 JUNE
GOLDILOCKS
Putin visits Vietnam. Why? “The main issues relate to shoring up economic and commercial ties, including arms sales.”
Putin and Vietnam's leaders were said to have been working on an agreement regarding ruble-dong currency transactions through the banking system. This meeting is expected to enable payment for goods and services.
Currently, Vietnam is expanding the value of its currency through the expansion of its elderly population through healthcare, commercial trade, and military arms expansion.
Proper military spending over GDP stabilizes and promotes currency values of a country. Why? Money spent on the military ends up in the private sector as payment for goods and services the military requires.
Each of these are indicators of a growing economy that justifies a higher value through demand on their currency inside a Market Economy. Vision Times Education CFR Nature

Nervous about the market? Here’s one thing you could do if shares start sinking fast
Jack Janasiewicz: The bottom line … is that there’s a disinflationary impulse coming. I think [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell was right to sort of look at [hotter-than-expected] January, February, March inflation data as maybe a little bit of an anomaly or a pause but not a reversal of that trend that’s going to continue to head to that 2% target.
So, again, heading in the right direction, it may be slower than people would like. But we’re going to 2%.
And then the other thing I would point to as well — the labor side of their mandate is becoming a little more focused. [The Fed] is one of the only central banks that has the dual mandate with price stability and full employment. It feels like the price stability side is coming into better focus.
As the economy slows a little bit here, and you start to see the unemployment rate tick a little bit higher … the Fed [could start] to focus on making sure that the unemployment rate doesn’t start to rise.
That could be the trigger for rate cuts. So we’re not ruling out rate cuts by September. We could easily have a cut. The data will tell us that, but I think the big takeaway for us is [inflation] going in the right direction. CNN

Behind the scenes of an exciting session of merchants and restaurant owners who “invested” in the exchange rate difference in Iraq, 19 JUNE
Behind the scenes of an exciting session of merchants and restaurant owners who “invested” in the exchange rate difference in Iraq
A lengthy report by the American newspaper “The National” reviewed the scenes of investing in the exchange rate difference in Iraq, where businessmen, merchants, and restaurant owners benefited by operating their money in this trade, by withdrawing the dollar from the central bank and selling it on the black market, which achieved huge and rapid profits in this way, However, the recent actions of the Central Bank caused problems between these partners due to losses.
The report, translated by “Baghdad Today,” says, “Despite recent efforts for reforms, challenges remain, and well-connected businessmen are still exploiting loopholes in the foreign currency sales window managed by the Central Bank of Iraq to make obscene amounts of money.” From the margin between the official exchange rate and the black market rate.
The National spoke to dozens of businessmen who said the strict measures had helped simplify the import process and forced many to formalize their transactions, but they said there was still room for manipulation.
One of the businessmen said: “There are still ways to circumvent the procedures,” adding that “falsifying invoices and arrangements at border crossings and manipulating the prices of goods by setting inflated prices by exporters are among the common methods.”
In a room decorated with intricate tapestries and ornate tapestries, The National attended a tense meeting of businessmen, their faces etched with a mixture of frustration and resignation.
They have banded together to resolve a months-long financial crisis that has escalated beyond the bounds of legality, plunging them into the murky waters of clan diplomacy.
By accessing a government-run platform offering US dollars at the official rate, a businessman lured other traders with a deal promising them huge profits from the spread between official and black market rates, sources involved told The National.
With hundreds of millions of Iraqi dinars in circulation, traders received unexpected cash gains. But as the days and months passed, the businessman found himself unable to pay his debts, leaving the merchants in a precarious situation.
No official complaint was filed against him, and the businessman did not face any trial.
“It is clear that we have reached an impasse,” a representative of the businessman who lives in a neighboring country told the audience, who exchanged wary glances. "We can't continue down this path. It's time to cut our losses."
His proposal hung in the air, and was met with hesitant votes of approval.
Giving up half of the two billion Iraqi dinars was a bitter pill to swallow, but it seemed the only viable option in the face of mounting losses and uncertainty.
The owner of a famous restaurant chain in Baghdad told The National newspaper after the meeting: “We say that whoever loses half his money is not a loser.”
“At least I have half my capital in my hands – better than nothing,” he said.
“There is no business that allows you to hit the jackpot like taking advantage of the exchange rate margin in a short period of time, which is why we invested heavily with him.
He added: "Over the past months, he has been paying us on time, but it seems that he has been having problems recently." link

***WHERE ARE WE NOW???***
We have some interesting information today some of the RC people we know they have a job to put into the QFS the codes in the last couple of days- they put them in but didn’t receive them – but today they put in the codes and then wait to see if it took – of the three one was received and two were on Iraq and Rupiah and Bruce believes the Iraqi budget was in the Gazette last Saturday – but is now being told tomorrow Wednesday – so the fact that something came back about Iraq and was probably Bruce thinks that the rate was not in the Gazette - but they were not quite in the position to lock in the rate for us.
Cut to Afghanistan and it requires a rate sold and to be locked in – so tomorrow we’ve been told the codes will be entered again and we just wait to see ALL THREE to be Received and we should see solid Screen Rates at the RC showing a solid and exchangeable currency(s).
And from another source - if there was a FF tomorrow but if NOT and that we’d be in the midst of this tomorrow and maybe even exchanges tomorrow afternoon / evening – but I think I the information that we’ve had in the last few days – and interesting that this would be done on FREEDOM DAY - so that’s how we should be looking at this - we’ve had green lights flashing and people at WF entering the codes but now when they entered again and come back with solid rates and we should then be able to set our appointments for our exchanges and that’s really what I wanted to say.
