Here is one more...bank story: This person went to Krogers…and what they had installed in Krogers will surprise you. A currency redemption machine that reads foreign currency...And they are building a brand new BOA right across the street with no drive through windows …in the lobby there are no tellers...in the lobby are 2 big tables…and there are 10 offices down each side of the building. This is a totally new format and will be open next week...They are expecting people in with foreign currency. How many people roll around with foreign currency? I think this is a huge tell on what they suspect is coming…
We have some bank stories I think you will enjoy... I thought this was a fantastic one: I am editing the name of the bank for the bank and the individual’s safety: I have an account with -----------I was there the other day talking with a bank manager.
I asked her if she knew about Basel 3 and the changes in banks requirements in becoming a world’s currency exchange center and gold backed institution…She said they knew about the changes...and that they had been watching me (The bank customer) and had a portfolio on me and they were excited for me and hoped they could keep me as a customer…. She said that was all she could say…and she may have said to much. I think this was fantastic. We have heard similar stories from other members.
Lots of financial experts are... still hoping we see the RV by Dec 1st. That is their goal. And Iraq has been very clear it needs to go by Jan 1st.
In Iraq they do not have a rate posted yet. But we continue to hear great things that should happen in the coming days. We don’t know the timing but it sure appears close...I believe this currency window is still wide open waiting for someone to say “go”

KRG Delegation to Meet Iraq’s Prime Minister in Baghdad: Salaries and Budget on the Agenda, 26 NOV
KRG Delegation to Meet Iraq’s Prime Minister in Baghdad: Salaries and Budget on the Agenda
A significant delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is slated to meet with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, in Baghdad on Monday, November 27, 2023. The primary focus of the meeting is to address the subjects of salaries for KRG employees, Kurdistan’s share in the federal budget, and the reinitiation of oil exports from Kurdistan and Kirkuk through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
Striving for Constitutional Rights
The delegation, representing the KRG, has been persistent in maintaining contact with all federal government institutions. Their aim is to secure the constitutional rights of the people of Kurdistan, particularly those who are salaried. The meeting with Prime Minister Al-Sudani is intended to explore these issues, with a particular interest in the reestablishment of oil exports from the Kurdistan region.
Resumption of Oil Exports Contingent on Federal Government’s Assurance
The delegation’s desire to recommence oil exports hinges on the federal government’s capacity to guarantee the costs of production and extraction. This matter is of paramount importance as it contributes significantly to the regional government’s revenue and the overall economy.
Call for Honouring Financial Commitments
Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government, has issued an appeal to the Baghdad federal government. He stressed the importance of honouring its financial obligations towards the autonomous region. He especially emphasized on the timely resolution of the issue concerning Kurdistan’s share in the budget. The upcoming high-level meeting in Baghdad aims to hold extensive discussions on the budget, public servants’ salaries, and the resumption of oil exports from Kurdistan and Kirkuk.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Chairs Meeting on Infrastructure and Investment Progress
The Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani, recently led the fourth assembly of the Supreme Committee for Reconstruction and Investment. The gathering addressed an array of subjects pertaining to the enhancement of infrastructure and investment initiatives across the nation. The attendees, a diverse group of ministers and officials, are the key personnel steering the reconstruction and investment maneuvers. The Prime Minister underlined the significance of these ventures for Iraq’s economic progression and the betterment of the living standards of its people. He further emphasized the requisite for synergy among diverse governmental entities to ensure the smooth functioning of proposed projects. The committee’s mandate is to supervise and expedite the implementation of reconstruction and investment strategies, which are pivotal for the nation’s post-conflict recovery and future prosperity.
Optimizing Crude Oil Prices
During a discussion with Oil Ministry officials, Al Sudani accentuated the necessity of leveraging global crude oil prices to augment financial allocations via optimal oil and gas investments. The Prime Minister highlighted the urgent need to stimulate the essential oil sector in all dimensions, given its crucial role in the nation’s development. Oil is Iraq’s primary income source, and the government is committed to fostering the sector along with the chemical, petrochemical, and fertilizer industries, and the electricity sector.
Investing in the Gas Sector
Meanwhile, an eminent Iraqi official revealed that Iraq has made considerable advances to broaden investment in the gas sector and halt burning operations. The Director General of South Gas Company, Hamza Abdul Baqi Nassir, speaking at the Gas Investment Conference, stated that Iraq is capitalizing on gas from oil fields to meet domestic consumption demands and considering exporting the surplus to international markets. He emphasized that the Ministry of Oil has made substantial efforts to trigger licensing contracts with foreign companies to reach a production of 1,000 million standard cubic feet. This move is aimed at securing the requirements for energy production and putting an end to gas burning operations, thereby mitigating environmental risks.
Strategic Projects for Sustainable Development
Al-Sudani spoke about his government’s endeavours to usher development back to its rightful course and implement its development blueprints. He mentioned that his administration has expedited the execution of 7,000 lagging projects, while simultaneously initiating new projects that hold immense developmental and service value. He added that priority was given to strategic projects aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Vision, most notably infrastructure and clean energy initiatives, the Development Road, and the Faw Port project.

There's things happening as we speak - one thing after another. I can't imagine anybody being discouraged at this time because of the nature of what's happening.
Article: "Ministry of Transport intends to open direct airlines towards Australia, America, Malaysia"
It's not just about a few regional countries. It's about many different places. Once you start opening up the airports all the investors can gain access to the country to take charge of their investment, produce their businesses. It's a really big thing to have an international airport full...they have their capacity...what they're using today is at 100% and they're not even international yet...
They're saying it's done. I really like that. I think you guys should be happy about it because if all the currency swaps are taken care of...I think it's a precursor to an exchange rate change in the future.
Article: " With the participation of 120 companies...the launch of the Iraq International Building, Construction and Infrastructure Exhibition"
This...being launched in Baghdad for the next few days is not surprising at all on the back of all the WTO meetings...since Oct 31st regarding Iraq's accession to the organization.
The 2023-2024-2025 budget is about investment primarily into infrastructure. It takes a lot of capital to build a country back...It will take massive amounts. It is far too expensive with 1310 exchange rate. An internationally accepted REER will likely make it far cheaper.
