Member: Happy Taco Tuesday…

Member:  Mark said Sudani may make an announcement today? Fingers crossed!!

Member: Some people think they need rate out by 4th for WTO meeting.

MZ: Wish I had some great news for you today…but the news went dry last night …but nothing negative. 

Member: Silence is golden?

MZ: They have done a great job cracking down on leaks. The ones I spoke with say they are not willing to lose everything they have been waiting for so I can have some news. I totally respect that. 

Member: All of us would do the same……lips would be zipped…..good for them 

Member:  Mark, I think I remember your saying a while back that Iraq likes to plan a surprise, not predictable. I say “Surprise is Iraq!”

Member:  I wonder- Is the US the problem with this "delay?"

Member:  Frank said CBI bank in the USA is opening on October 1st.

Member: Yes… Frank specifically mentioned private Iraq bank opening in U.S. on 1st October.

Member: Oct 1st is also the first day of the US 2024 fiscal year. 

Member: To me it would be logical to have a reset by Oct 1st…..to bad governments are not “logical” 

Member:  The US  Fiscal year is Oct 1-Sept 30. Is Iraq's still Jan 1-Dec 31? Will that affect anything in RV land?

MZ: Many of my sources are looking at the end of the week….since Oct 1st is on a weekend….after that it all explodes…..but with all the NDA’s out there……Its good to question all the news . 

Member: I hope they have to release a rate before Oct 4 when they become part of the international financial community!

MZ: We know Iraq needs a real currency for its full ascension to the World Trade Organization. And this is coming in the first week of Oct. 

Member:  I am looking at Saturday night on Sat. Sept 30th…..That's when all banks are closed around the world

Member: If Quantum Financial is real then why we don’t have more news on it ?

Member: I was on a call that said the QFS really did go live on Sept 22nd…..sure hoping it is true. 

Member:  does anyone know the date and what time of the day Kuwait rv'd?

Member: Some are saying Iraq will RV on the same day of the month.

MZ: I believe we have already passed that this year. 

Member: The NY Times article said (Kuwait RV): Published: March 25, 1991

Member:  what time of the day (go EST) do we hear about the RV?

Member: We were always told years ago the best time would be between 11Pm and 2 AM  …but I think it could go at any time. 

MZ: I think in our time zone we would hear about around 3 or 4 in the AM …In Iraq that would be between 10AM and noon in their country. This is just based on watching the Iraqi news for years. 

MZ: MR. C has said the most probable time for him to be paid would be between 11PM and 2 AM 

Member: I would think it would get done soon….with the rumors of the Governor of the CBI being removed because rate change hasn't happened???  Both Sudani and Alaq’s necks are on the line…imo

MZ: Yes they are……and on top of that is the ascension to the WTO on Oct 4th. Things are heating up. It’s do or die for Iraq to get this knocked out. 

Member: Will the RV be announced to the public?  

MZ: Yes but they not use the same terminology (like RV or Revaluation) that you and I use. They will most likely call it a “financial reset” or a “sound money act”  or something like that. This will let us know they have gone asset backed and have new bills …you will see it all over the news. If you are paying attention…you will know what it is. 

MZ: History tells us there will be a reset. History tells us that fiat will crash. It has happened many times in the past. What is new is it is being done on such a global scale. 

Mark Z what is the info on how many days the Redemption Centers will be open ?

Member: 10 days to make appointments and 30 days to exchange

Member:  For anyone following finances - Jim Willie says he believes in the RV AND medbeds

Member:  My Credit Union now has Wealth Management for their front and the lobby for others in the back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Member:  Mark Z hope your day so far is filled with positive vibes....I have faith this RV will go very soon I feel it in my heart...

Baghdad And Washington Are Negotiating About Linking The Iraqi Market And Currency To The Dollar , 26 SEPT

Baghdad And Washington Are Negotiating About Linking The Iraqi Market And Currency To The Dollar

Posted On2023-09-25 By Sotaliraq    Baghdad and Washington are negotiating about linking the Iraqi market and currency to the dollar 20230924152721_original_45The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Dr. Fouad Hussein, confirmed that the provisions of the security agreement recently signed between Iraq and Iran have been fully implemented by the Iraqi side.

Hussein explained that the terms of the agreement were fully implemented by the Iraqi side, with regard to the return of militants present on the border between the two countries in the Kurdistan Region to refugee camps.

Regarding the political and security importance of this agreement, Hussein stressed that Iran’s cessation of bombing areas in the Kurdistan Region was a condition of the agreement, in exchange for removing militants from the border, which the federal government did in cooperation with the Kurdistan Regional Government, in an “important and successful” process for both sides. .

Regarding the possibility of signing a similar agreement with Turkey regarding the presence of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants, whom Ankara demands to be removed from the border, Hussein stated that Baghdad has always been in favor of dialogue, hoping for “intensive dialogue by the same means” with the Turkish side.

The Iraqi diplomat says that Ankara has not yet made room to discuss solutions to this problem in another way, far from the use of weapons and violence.

The Iraqi minister denied the existence of any agreement with Turkey to allow it to carry out repeated strikes on PKK militants in northern Iraq.

Regarding relations with the United States, Hussein said that the recent Iraqi-American discussions focused on bilateral relations and joint work in the fields of economy, energy, health and security, noting that the American-Iraqi relations are distinguished and have expanded to include various fields, after they were based on security and military cooperation, pointing out that Washington’s support for the Iraqi position in the international arena, and for economic reform and development in the country.

The Iraqi official revealed that among the important files raised at the level of dialogue with Washington is “the issue of linking the Iraqi market and currency to the dollar and the flows of American currency into the country,” noting that it is “a financial and banking issue related to the financial and economic situation of Iraq.”

Regarding whether security issues related to armed groups affiliated with Iran were among the files discussed, he said, “We did not discuss this issue, and all groups are subject to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, that is, to the orders of the Iraqi Prime Minister.”

 Regarding the relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the spokesman indicated that the two countries have declared and strong relations, after the exchange of ambassadors and visits by the two foreign ministers, indicating that Baghdad played a role in the restoration of their relations, but the discussions between them are now direct.

 Regarding relations with Kuwait, the spokesman explained that the Iraqi Prime Minister held an “important meeting” with his Kuwaiti counterpart, during which he stressed “Iraq’s full commitment to all Security Council resolutions, bilateral agreements, and respect for Kuwait’s sovereignty.” LINK

The Salary Crisis Raises Rates Of Domestic Violence In Kurdistan By 13 Percent

Posted On2023-09-25 By Sotaliraq   The researcher in social and academic affairs at Sulaymaniyah University, Rikut Abdul Rahman, said yesterday, Sunday, that the economic crisis has greatly affected the situation in the region. The Federal Council of Ministers decided during its thirty-eighth regular session, headed by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, on Sunday (September 17, 2023),

Lending the Kurdistan Regional Government more than two trillion dinars, provided that it is repaid in three installments of (700) billion dinars before taking its entitlement from the budget for the year 2024. Abdul Rahman says, “The economic crisis affected the cohesion of Kurdish society, led to an increase in divorce cases and increased rates of domestic violence.”

He believes that “due to the delay in disbursing salaries and the economic crisis, divorce cases have increased by 13% over previous years, and the rates of domestic violence have increased according to the statistics of various organizations, in addition to the presence of a reluctance to marry among Kurdish youth, since the requirements of life are high, and there is no financial liquidity.” Because of the salary crisis.”

The delay in salaries in the Kurdistan region and the strike of health personnel there caused the death of two people yesterday, Saturday (September 23, 2023), including a child no more than two months old. According to a local source, “A person named (K, M, A), whose profession is a worker, lives in the Shahrazur district of the Sulaymaniyah Governorate. He was involved in a traffic accident on the Sulaymaniyah-Zaryan road, and after suffering serious injuries, he was transferred to (Martyr Raouf Bek) Hospital in the Shahrazur district.”

He added: “But due to the strike of doctors and nurses from working hours in the aforementioned hospital, he was transported by a regular car to Shar Hospital in Sulaymaniyah, but he died on the way.”

He pointed out that “also due to the strike of health personnel from work in Sayed Sadiq district, a two-month-old child died.”

On Wednesday (September 20, 2023), the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani, directed the distribution of July salaries without delay upon the arrival of the first batch of Baghdad’s loan amounting to 700 billion dinars.

On Monday (September 18, 2023), a source in the Ministry of Finance of the Kurdistan Regional Government revealed the mechanism for distributing employee salaries in the region.

The source said, “The federal government will finance the salaries of employees in the Kurdistan region in three installments in the amount of two trillion and 100 billion dinars, and in the amount of 700 billion dinars for each month.”

He added, “The federal government will send the salaries for September after releasing the salaries of employees in other Iraqi provinces, but employees in the region have not received their salaries for July and August yet.”

The source indicated, “After receiving the amount of 700 billion dinars, the Ministry of Finance will distribute one salary, which is for the month of July, and next month it will distribute the salary for the month of August, and then the process will continue successively.” LINK

Despite The Abundance Of Cash Reserves, Why Does The Iraqi Government Not Pay Its Internal Debts?

Posted On2023-09-25 By Sotaliraq  

The dinar is playing with the dollar at lost time, 26 SEPT

 The dinar is playing with the dollar at lost time, 26 SEPT

The prominent figure, Muhammad Hassan Al-Saadi, has returned to take charge of Iraq’s economic movement. However, Washington is also making its presence felt by asserting its leadership position in the game. It is evident that the people are well aware of the power dynamics at play and who is controlling the rounds of the match.

At times, we witness the Iraqi government expressing satisfaction with the performance of the US Federal Bank and their economic dealings with the World Bank. However, at other times, the government imposes new controls to regulate the movement of the dollar and announces punitive measures against private banks in Iraq that violate regulations in the local currency market.

Washington’s current stance is that Iraq is not complying with the Federal Bank’s regulations to restrict the illegal flow of dollars abroad, particularly to Iran, which is facing strict American sanctions. The US government believes that Baghdad has not taken necessary measures to curb currency smuggling, whether it originates from the Kurdistan region or other outlets linked to neighboring Iran.

Despite the Sudanese government’s efforts to prevent the smuggling of dollars abroad, control the internal market, and encourage the use of dinar in daily commercial transactions, Iraq continues to pursue traders and smugglers to curb the smuggling. However, these efforts have proven to be inadequate. In response to this, there has been an increase in the smuggling of currencies other than the dollar, such as the euro, Chinese yuan, and Emirati dirham. This is an attempt to reduce the demand for the dollar, diversify the traded currencies and provide support for Iraq’s foreign dealings.

Despite the Central Bank of Iraq taking numerous measures, it still lacks a mechanism to control the movement of the dollar in the market. Its reform steps have failed to control the exchange rate and have led to an exacerbation of the crisis and a decline in confidence between Iraq and the World Bank. As a result, the World Bank has taken strict measures towards international transaction requests coming from Iraq. Many of these requests were rejected under the pretext of not conforming to international economic dealing standards. Additionally, a number of banks have been included on the blacklist due to suspected unlicensed cash transactions.

The Central Bank of Iraq’s wrong monetary policy would have a negative impact on the financial reality of the country, highlighting the primitiveness of the financial system and its lack of modern means of financial dealing. Additionally, crime mafias have control over the internal Iraqi market and the movement of the dollar within it. The current government plans to control the dollar’s flow to achieve economic development and stabilize the dinar’s value by expanding its commercial uses and preventing smuggling, storage, or manipulation of its prices.

The positive aspect of the recent decision is to reduce the influence of the dollar on the Iraqi market. The aim is to limit its circulation and restore the prestige of the dinar, thereby giving it control over the internal market, at least. This presents an important opportunity to restore the dinar’s former prestige and restrict the dollar to foreign transactions only. The decision is also positive because it will put an end to traders’ control over the internal market and prevent the manipulation of the livelihoods of ordinary citizens.

Iraq is considering joining the BRICS bloc, with the aim of reducing its reliance on the US dollar. There is a growing acceptance among Iraqi citizens to use the Iraqi dinar in their financial transactions. The BRICS summit is expected to take place in Cape Town, South Africa, in August 2023, and 19 countries have already submitted official requests to join the alliance. This move could potentially damage the value of the dollar and its future prospects, as the BRICS currency is expected to be strong and competitive. Although the BRICS currency has not been issued yet, its emergence could signal the decline of the US dollar.

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 26 SEPT

[via PDK]

Question: What about the oil for dinar program…Is that still happening?

   MarkZ Answer:  I am told that is still happening. That is how we should get more than the street rate.

“Iraq to reopen embassy in Vietnam”

This is good news and showing their ties. Vietnam and Iraq are both major trading partners and of course we expect both currencies to revalue at the same time...Reopening embassies is important…   If Iraq is going to be international player…they are going to need an “International Currency”…

There are a number of articles and comments that we are to expect some kind of announcement out of Iraq on Tuesday…on how they plan to handle the exchange rate. Perhaps this means they are still fighting the rate in the parallel market…or perhaps it   is our full blown revaluation. But we are expecting some kind of announcement on the value of the Iraqi dinar to the US dollar.

“Iraqi Central Bank to restrict internal trades to Dinar”

From Bloomberg…. They are de-dollarizing. Payments in dinar only …they cannot do that and handle trades without the dinar having a more meaningful value and is international…also they are expected to formally announce this on October 4th. 

There is a lot happening on Oct 4th. To me this means they need a new value by October 4th. I am hearing they really do expect that dinar rate change by Oct. 4th.
