And Al-Kazemi indicated that some people are using tricks in order to receive the dollar at the official price by purchasing 50-100 travel tickets and an entry visa (Visa) by land, whose price is 25 dollars, in collusion with tourism and exchange companies, indicating that these people receive each A passport of 3 thousand dollars, and a month later they repeat the same entry visa, receiving 3 thousand dollars again for the same passports.

And he indicated that real travelers were denied receiving the dollar, because of these people and the complicity of travel and exchange companies, stressing that the recent measures will prevent this fraud from continuing.

The Iraqi authorities require travelers to present their travel ticket and “Visa” to enter the country they want to travel to, in front of selling them three thousand dollars at the official price set by the Central Bank of Iraq.

Currency traders took advantage of this decision by collecting hundreds of passports from simple people and buying travel tickets and entry visas, in order to buy dollars at the official price and sell them at the parallel market price, collecting profits estimated at millions of dinars daily.

 I have a dear friend who used to be military...but still works indirectly.  Therefore consider my friend to have contractual agreements.  These contractual agreements are with Iraq and Vietnam. 

 My friend calls me and say, 'Frank, I'm ready to expand...but my financial people are telling me wait...There is a major financial change that is about to occur and we think it would be wise for you to just wait.  You see Iraq has a lot of dong in their reserves and Vietnam Central Bank has a lot of Iraqi dinar in their reserves.'   Something is happening.

 It's not like you're going to need a receipt [from when you bought your dinars] when you exchange.  No body at at a bank is going to say, 'Greetings, Mr. Smith.  You have a million dinars, let me see your receipt.'  All they care about is, let me see the dinar.  And you say,  'Here's my certificate of authenticity.'  Well you can take that and throw it in the garbage.  Look, we'll [The bank] tell you if these dinar are good are not...

You still see whatever you see as the exchange rate on the CBI website.  You can go to the...airport and it's still at 13-whatever.  But you see the [CBI] articles tell you, 'Our official exchange rate is 1132...' I'm going to believe the CBI.  I'm going to say, 'Yes sir, understood!'

his monetary reform is taking the IQD to places of international affairs that are no longer sanctioned.  The IQD they say will be king as the USD steps back in the banking structure of Iraq and now in the whole Middle East...Then Alaq caps this report by saying we are increasing out capital.  What do you think that means?  That means they are going to increase your currency count with new lower denomination notes...Doesn't get any better than that.

CBI's Plan is 1 to 1?💣Project Delete the Zeros Now🤔Iraq Dinar RV Updates...

As for the vision of the region, it is summarized as follows: The federal government manages the oil and gas extracted from the fields.

Redemption folks working a few short hours tomorrow. That does not mean we are redeeming this weekend…but it’s a good sign…  We continue to get good news from Iraq…They are on a holiday from now until Thursday. This would give them a tremendous opportunity …and a lot of chatter in Iraq that they are going to take this opportunity this week to put things into place…Many indicators from Iraq about next week. 

Mountain Goat

…according to my conversation with my CBI contact in Iraq… I was told that there is still concerns about the dollar and the smuggling of dollars out of Iraq…There is still work to be done in this area. It was also confirmed to me that the CBI did intend to conduct the project to delete the zeros sooner than later but there are obstacles to moving ahead that still need work.

Yes, there is always the possibility that the CBI could surprise everyone and they could suddenly push this forward. But…They have told me over and over again that when they get ready to do it there will be no secrets to the progress of the project to delete the zeros. This step will be announced and shown to the world… But here is the good news, The “secret” lies…in the redenomination in that the next step afterwards is the reinstatement and the liberalization of the dinar back to its “former glory”.
