"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 4 NOV

 Pimpy   

Things are still looking really good for Iraq.  They still manage to be keeping their nose out of what's going on over there in the Middle East even though it starting to escalate...

 I still think the Iraqi dinar is going to go up in increments.  I'm anticipating them to do at least one increase before the end of the year.  It looks like they don't have any choice and I'm curious to see what they're going to do...
 

  There's so many things happening...We got elections coming up here soon.  Al-Sudani has been taking many good steps to warrant an opportunity to be the Prime Minister once again but if he doesn't control that currency it'll destabilize the economy as well as the currency itself and this is not going to go over very well with the people of Iraq. 

 If he increases the value of the Iraqi dinar that gives the people of Iraq a little bit more purchasing power at the same time stabilizing the currency and hopefully closing the gap between the fixed exchange rate versus the parallel rate.

 “The Dinar Is Stronger Than The Dollar.” The Hypothesis That Is Absent From Reality!

Special Sumerian  2023-11-04 | 2,091 views  Everything has become high because of the dollar, a dangerous trade recession that the country is experiencing, amid warnings of an economic slide that may worsen the situation in the coming days.

According to experts, traders affiliated with influential parties and entities are the only beneficiaries of the platform affiliated with the Central Bank, and the government must come out immediately and be honest with the people about the truth of what is happening.

By simple calculation, the Central Bank sells an estimated two hundred thousand dollars daily, meaning that the daily profits of speculators are estimated at forty thousand dollars, reaching their total monthly. One million two hundred thousand dollars, which is equivalent to about two billion Iraqi dinars net for speculators per month.   LINK

 A truly wonderful experience. The bank is in PA

Iraq Eyes Economic Diversification: New International Partnerships Extend Beyond Defense, 4 NOV

Iraq Eyes Economic Diversification: New International Partnerships Extend Beyond Defense

In a significant policy shift, the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, recently announced that the nation’s new international collaborations extend beyond defense and security. Al-Sudani emphasized that Iraq has blossomed into an attractive destination for global firms to invest and operate, particularly in the energy sector, signaling a rising tide of international confidence in the Iraqi economy.

Shifting Focus: Beyond Oil

Historically reliant on oil revenues, Iraq is now making strident efforts to diversify its economy. The government is actively courting foreign investment in sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism, recognizing the untapped potential within these areas.

Energy: A Hotspot for Investment

Despite being a major exporter with one of the world’s largest oil reserves, Iraq is seeking to bolster its energy production and branch out into renewable energy. With abundant sunlight and wind resources, it offers an ideal location for solar and wind power projects, and is providing incentives and tax breaks to magnetize global investment.

Infrastructure, Agriculture, and Tourism: New Frontiers

Infrastructure remains a key concern, with many parts of Iraq still lacking basic services such as electricity, water, and transportation. The government is actively seeking international partnerships for these projects. Opportunities also abound in agriculture, with the government promoting investment in modern farming techniques to boost production and trim reliance on imports. Tourism, despite being hampered by years of conflict, is another sector being primed for investment, with new attractions and cultural events planned to draw in visitors.

Iraq: The Gateway to Asia and Europe

Al-Sudani’s announcement underscores Iraq’s strategic location, serving as a conduit for trade and investment between Asia and Europe. Already a member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Iraq has inked agreements with several nations to boost trade and investment, while also courting European firms.

Prime Minister Al-Sudani’s announcement shows Iraq’s commitment to attracting foreign investment and diversifying its economy. The nation’s untapped potential, coupled with its strategic location, positions it as an attractive destination for trade and investment. With the right strategies, Iraq could become a significant regional player, contributing to a broader regional prosperity.
