[Aki Iraqi Bank Friend Update]

Number 1 [Aki’s Boss] has informed Aki the CBI is going to have…’All hands on meeting’ to share the results of a recent CBI meeting.  These meetings are continual and only with the banks, no politicians.   

These meetings were with all the upper management of every bank in Iraq…IOO they’re talking about the new exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar and the new small category notes…We told you there would be one last rate change on the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar.  Aki suggested to us it would be 1,200 to 1…

WALKINGSTICK: …Look more for 1000 to 1 because when they get there then they can lift the three zeros.

 Remember, we started with a MR that led to an RV that leads now today to an RD that will lead to an international float.  Now...When it gets to the point of the float, a supply and demand of the Iraqi dinar...will determine which exchange rate of the RV that they cap it at.

 How will Aki profit by having these banks?  By exchanging the Iraqi dinar for dollars.  This is a profit for the bank. For Aki...

The economic reform is blossoming...because the monetary reform was a success...It is due to the security and stability that Sudani and Alaq have created for the reforms.  

 [Iraqi bank friend Aki update]

When Saddam was removed, many retirees...expatriots...soldiers...citizens left Iraq...A great portion has come to the United States of America therefore these [CBI affiliated] private banks are needed for the reinstatement for the Central Bank of Iraq to re-collect the 3-zero notes that are missing...They turned the private exchange centers into private banks for...the change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi currency.

Moody’s warns of the impact of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on Iraq, 26 NOV

 Moody’s warns of the impact of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on Iraq

Moodys warns of the impact of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on IraqShafaq News/ Moody’s credit rating agency maintained Iraq’s CAA1 rating, warning that the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the intervention of Iran and the United States may have fundamental repercussions on Iraq, if the war expands.

The agency said that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas remains primarily focused in Gaza. But its regional escalation, which is a “scenario with little possibility of being achieved,” will have economic repercussions for Iraq.

The agency notes that any escalation in tensions in the Gulf would threaten to disrupt maritime transport routes through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iraq depends on for most of its oil exports.

It maintained Iraq’s rating at “CAA1″ with a stable outlook, and said that the rating reflects Iraq’s financial and external dependence on hydrocarbons, which leads to its significant exposure to oil price fluctuations and the risks of transitioning away from carbon.

However, the agency says that Iraq’s low dependence on external financing and the buffer provided by the recovery in foreign exchange reserves underscore a range of mitigating factors even if this scenario plays out.

Iraq, which is rich in oil, suffers from deterioration in its infrastructure and roads as a result of decades of wars and the spread of corruption.

Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani confirms that one of his government’s priorities is to rehabilitate the transportation and road infrastructure, as well as the dilapidated electricity sector.

 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.
