The CBI has clearly stated to the Citizens that they should not fear the implementation of the Delete the Zeros Project as they plan to do it in a manner to minimize confusion and the 3 zero series currency will co-exist for a period of 2 years in the marketplace and up to ten years through the Banks.
Saleh told us early in last year that they must bring the parallel market rate to the "Required Two Percent". This is part of the IMF requirement for full compliance with Article VIII. Based on what he said recently, it appears the target is 1350 or less in spite of 2% being 1346.4.
I am only watching the Market Rate at this time. It has decreased slightly since Wednesday and as of today is 1540 in Baghdad and 1530 in Kurdistan. Saleh said 1350 (135,000 to $100) soon. Hopefully soon is weeks and not months. IMSO, if they would RD, show the RV as just over a USD, they would get the Market Rate within the Required 2% very quick so they can RI. Perhaps that is the plan.
An “Exciting” Statement By Al-Sudani: How Will Iraq Double Its Non-Oil Revenues By 200% In Just Two Years?
Politics/Economy |Today Baghdad today – Baghdad Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani revealed today, Thursday (January 18, 2024), during a discussion session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, that Iraq has set a goal in a three-year budget to reduce dependence on oil revenues from 95 percent to 80 percent.
Achieving Al-Sudani’s statement requires raising non-oil revenues by 200% within just two years, which are the remaining two years of the tripartite budget, according to a digital analysis of the economic section in the “Baghdad Al-Youm” newsroom, amid questions about how to achieve this.
As of the end of November, Iraq had achieved revenues amounting to more than 121 trillion dinars, of which oil revenues amounted to more than 112.6 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues amounted to more than 8.5 trillion dinars, which means that the percentage of non-oil revenues constituted about 7% of the total. Revenues.
For oil revenues to be 80% of total revenues, non-oil revenues must be more than 24 trillion dinars, which means doubling them by about 200% from their current number.
The Ministry of Finance’s accounts show that the bulk of non-oil revenues came from taxes on income and wealth, amounting to more than 4.3 trillion dinars, which raises questions about how the government will raise non-oil revenues and whether it will impose certain taxes, which will consequently reduce the percentage Reliance on oil revenues.

FRANK: JP Morgan...knows what's going on and they know that a new exchange rate is coming. The employees of Chase don't know anything but the Chief Executive Officer of Chase, Dimon obviously does know and is making an amazing statement in these articles...
FIREFLY: There are many reports coming out today from Sudani people indirectly through the CBI telling us the amount of corruption here in Iraq is still staggering. They are finding ways to seal our currency...
FRANK: It is extremely hard for you guys to deal with your currency when...the currency you do have is being stolen.
FIREFLY: CBI on news saying they have taken measures and decisions on supporting the dinar and maintaining its value against other currencies in the world talking about how CBI fully supports and back dinar and how it will be holding its own against other currencies. Saying this will positively affect the exchange rate.
FRANK: I am excited that they are giving you deeper information about the monetary reform and how it’s going to add value to your currency and I love how they keep saying in the coming days let’s see what happens around 15 January.
FIREFLY:Financial expert on TV saying there will be changes to the value to the Iraqi dinar after the new year.
FRANK: The CBI, without any fear, without pulling any punches back, they flat out tell you the beginning for next year your currency will have value added to it. Of course, because you won't be able to use any other currency in your country.

FIREFLY: The television is talking about how Iraq and a basket of currencies will help to reduce the dollar rate. They are already talking about the yuan and rupee... The government is saying we aspire to end the parallel market dollar in the coming days.
FIREFLY: We have a special on TV and they say the Iraqi dinar wins the struggle against the dollar and wins control of the markets…
FRANK: The goal of the last few weeks has been to bring the market rate parallel with the dollar rate. Remember the CBI can’t touch the dollar value but they can touch the value of your currency of the dinar… They have been victorious of reducing the value of their enemy foreign currency like the American dollar and all foreign currency in your country verses your national currency which is at 1310 right now. But that rate is now in a position to change because of all the success of the monetary reform from the CBI and Sudani. That’s all there is to it.
The black market rate will no longer be…The black market rate is the American dollar. The CBI wants the official rate 1310 to match the dollar rate. That means the currency of Iraq is too low… Slowly we’re having a reciprocal effect where the dollar is going down and the dinar is going up…
Question: “Can any country RV their currency whenever they want?”
Yeah but they have to go through the IMF. That’s what the International Monetary Fund does – they regulate all the banks around the world and allow them to either increase, decrease, print new currency, destroy their currency, change their exchange rate. There is a systematic way of doing it. They’re called international banking laws.
