Article: "Iraq and 4 Arab countries have more than 1 million tons of global gold reserves" Why do they have so much gold? Because you need that to strengthen your own local currency. Gold is way more liquid than anything else. If you want to make sure the currency stays strong you want to have tons of gold as well as foreign reserve assets in your holding.
Iraq's minimum exchange rate needs to be in order for them to be compliant with the IMF - Take the SDR $1.33 minus 2%...Iraq has to be at an exchange rate at a minimum in order to be in compliant with the IMF...$1.28...
Stop falling for that crap that there's no way Iraq can get all these major projects that they have listed in their budget unless they change the exchange rate. That's false. It's already accounted for. The budget is already created with the proper amount of money set aside for these projects. It's just done in Iraqi dinars with the current exchange rate.
