All News Are Phenomenal💣IQD Will Be in Forex Soon!🤔Iraq Dinar RV Updates...

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 9 SEPT

 Mnt Goat 

 ...I have to tell you the currency rate of 1/6 of a penny (IQD 1320 = USD 1) absolutely does not reflect the currency rate of the dinar. It is being “artificially suppressed”!   But most importantly...many other financial wizards, much more knowledgeable than I, also feel this way.

 To make a very good comparison one only needs to compare Iraq to Kuwait to see the imbalance and inequity happening  (KWD 1 = USD 3.45).

 I believe there is nothing more for the CBI to do but to issue the lower denominations and them to watch for inflation over a period, as their plan states they will do, and if all goes well, they liberate their currency to the global markets as in FOREX.   I thought we needed the Oil and Gas Law passed first?  Yes, I still believe they do and we might have to wait for it.  

 But there is a chance that based on how fast the economy is growing they may just put that on the back burner and rethink it (remember that Dr Shababi in 2012-2013 did not have this law passed, yet he was moving forward). We must remember the past.

 I address this question to guru Kaperoni who still thinks Iraq has to grow their economy first to get the current TRUE VALUE of their currency reflected in their rate. 

 SO grow it to what standard? What is the benchmark when they would turn on their currency? Did they shut it off because of the war and so the war has been over for 20 years. Yes, that is Obama’s plan not Dr Shabibi and it is a bad plan and will not work.  Iraq needs its currency to grow the country and its economy.  

 Iraq records the highest oil revenues since the start of 2023 which is also 2/3 more oil pumped than in 1991. The dinar rate in 1991 was over USD $3.  So why is the currency still being under valued? Yes, it is important to get out of a “rentier economy” based solely on oil and this will also create yet more wealth. But what about right now...

I am talking about today!   Doesn’t the oil wealth mean anything? Doesn’t the 113 billion in reserves and 132 tons of gold mean anything? Not to mention all the minerals and agricultural products being exported. So why still at 1/6 of a penny?

 Bruce

 For Iraq to go international they're  going to have to be article VIII compliant with the IMF and their currency exchange rate...They haven't come this far to go ahead and do the status quo...All the news...is phenomenal...

  Militia Man  

Why haven't they [Paid the salaries]?  There's got to be a reason for it and we believe it comes down to that the 23, 24, 25 budget is going to have an internationally acceptable exchange rate that's going to be on the Forex so that we all as investors can freely trade the Iraqi dinar in an international environment.   That's the whole purpose of us being here...

We have Standard & Poor giving them [Iraq] a stable outlook to an increasing positive outlook becausethey're now exporting agricultural wares and they have non-oil revenue streams coming in at the borders.  That's why they're beginning to look good - because of the investment environment is ripe...

Bruce   [via WiserNow]  Iraq did not put their new rates on the dinar in their gazette  - their official document called the Gazette...which is a major publication day Wednesdays and Saturdays. But according to our contacts in Iraq, they should be putting in Saturday's gazette So we'll see what happens.

British Report: Türkiye Is Suing Iraq To Pay Compensation Of About One Billion Dollars Because Of The Region’s Oil, 9 SEPT

 British Report: Türkiye Is Suing Iraq To Pay Compensation Of About One Billion Dollars Because Of The Region’s Oil

Posted On 09-09-2023 By Sotaliraq    A British report revealed, today, Friday (September 8, 2023), that the Turkish government filed a lawsuit against the Iraqi government before an American court, demanding that Baghdad pay it compensation amounting to $956 million, refusing to pay any compensation to Iraq.

According to a report by the London-based Middle East Eye website, about the problems between Turkey and Iraq regarding the export of Kurdistan region’s oil through the port of Ceyhan, the Turkish government filed a lawsuit before the District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, DC, against the Iraqi government, demanding that no compensation be paid to Iraq. Rather, Baghdad should pay compensation amounting to $956 million to it.

Turkey says, according to the report, that with the interest rate set by the International Arbitration Tribunal in Paris calculated for the compensation that each of the two countries must pay to the other, the amount that Iraq must pay to it becomes greater than what it must pay to Iraq.

According to the site, Turkey believes that Iraq will receive compensation amounting to $2.6 billion after calculating interest, while Turkey will receive $3.5 billion.

Five months passed on (August 25, 2023), since the export of oil from the Kurdistan and Kirkuk region through the Turkish port of Ceyhan was halted, which came after the decision of the international arbitration panel in Paris, which caused huge losses, amounting according to estimates to 5 billion dollars.

The export of oil from the Kurdistan region through the Turkish port of Ceyhan to abroad was stopped on March 25, in response to a decision issued by the international arbitration panel in Paris based on a lawsuit filed by the Iraqi authorities against Turkey.   LINK
