 ...we heard...let's see the 16th, which would be Wednesday, is the day that Iraq is paying all of their contractors and paying any back pay that they need to pay...

And it's also the day, Wednesday the 16th, the day of celebration in Iraq for this RV and their new rate on the dinar, etc. 

 So it looks like our start date would be Wednesday the 16th, but it could be actually, that we would start on Tuesday. I know we're supposed to get notified on Tuesday whether we start exchanges or not. 

We'll have see, but the whole thing is lining up beautifully...I'm excited about the timing...

"THERE'S BEEN A COMPLETION OF THE FIRST STEPS OF THE BANKING REFORM PROCESS" BY MILITIAMAN, 13 OCT

Militia Man  

 Article Quote:   "There's been a completion of the first steps of the banking reform process." 

    In my view the next phase should introduce new currency denominations.  If they're going to have 3 zeros removed as Alaq said, you're going to need new denominations.  

They never have had a three zeros exchange rate to be supporting the global financial system .

  They haven't done that in 21 years so why now? 

 They never will as far as I'm concerned...they're never going to be the savior of anything at 1310.

RV UPDATE BY FRANK26, 12 OCT

  Frank26 

  Community comment:   "I believe it will RV before the time they gave."  

The revaluation actually started in 2012... Revaluation is to revalue the currency...This is not to revalue the currency, they're going to reinstate it.  It was $3.22 when it was brought down... 

Because of inflation do you think $3.22 would be fair over 20 years later?  

No I don't think so.  Therefore the exchange rate is not going to 1000 is it?

  It's saying at 1320/1310.  When they lift the three zeros that's be a little over a dollar for the citizens.  Now that's fair.

DINARLAND UPDATE!! WOW IRAQ WILL RV SOON !! @DINARREVALUATION

Parliamentary Finance Committee praises Al-Sudani: He has a real will to boost non-oil revenues

 

10/11/2024

 

Baghdad
 

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Friday, that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has a real will to enhance non-oil revenues, while indicating work to reduce taxpayers' wages in the event of a shift to electronic payment.

The head of the committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, said: “There is a real will by the Prime Minister to enhance non-oil revenues,” noting that “enhancing non-oil revenues was adopted by the Finance Committee because it reached the conviction that it is not possible to rely on oil as a primary source in the budget, because oil is subject to shocks and is unstable and works on supply and demand, and therefore countries cannot be built using unstable rent revenues.”

 

Al-Atwani stressed that "the Finance Committee is serious about proceeding with the issue of non-oil revenues, and the electronic payment conference is considered an important step towards achieving these revenues, given that the revenues collected through the paper system are marred by a lot of corruption."

 

He added, "We are working on reducing taxpayers' wages in the event of a shift to electronic payment, so that it will be an incentive for citizens."

 

He continued, "The trend towards electronic payment is not only in the government sector, but the private sector must be empowered because it is not beneficial to go to the tax office and pay electronically and go to the private sector, such as the mall, market, etc., and pay in cash," stressing, "the necessity of empowering the private sector and for electronic payment devices to be available in all its institutions."
