"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 22 JAN

  Mnt Goat  

 So, how long will us investors in the IQD have to wait before Iraq is allowed to liberate its own currency? 

Why do I say “now is the time”?  We know they are completely out of Chapter VII sanctions since December 2022...We know they want the Iraq funds (nearly USD 115+ billion) released from the NY banks and put in their custody...We know they have plans for yet more Sovereign Funds to invest their reserves. 

 We know they are making agreements now for “currency swaps” for trade...as Iraq will no longer be using any US dollars in Iraq as of January 1st 2024. We know that the IMF is now working on the final stages of pulling together agreements to build a new basket of six (6) currencies to re-peg the IQD.  More pressure from Iraqi economics advisors to the government to use a “basket” of currencies for the new dinar peg. This is the IMF plan of 2011 all along. 

 We know since January they have undertaken a massive “de-dollarization” program and told it should have taken 6 years but they decided to do it in 1 year (2023). 

 Why such a hurry

We know the value of the IQD right now does exceed even pre-1991 era but still at 1/6 of a penny for a rate? 

The value won’t go up, its already there  ... 

Why is it being suppressed?

 Iraq needs to see a rate reflecting the TRUE VALUE. 

What is holding it back

We know Iraq now pumps 2/3 more oil than in pre-1991 era. Iraq also has announced 132+ tons of GOLD reserves. We know they are pushing this year alone, more than any other year since 2005, for the passing of Oil and Gas law. 

 Why

We know for a FACT that it is the U.S. through the Treasury Dept. direction that will NOT give sign-off to allow the reinstatement. 

Why?

Finally, the CBI has told us many times already that January is the most opportune time to reinstate for accounting purposes, since it begins their new FISCAL year (for accounting purposes).  Imminent World Trade Organization full accession.  

Just be patient, the reinstatement is coming and I firmly believe from what we now know there is a very strong likelihood we NOT are going to be at the banks in early 2024 but there is still strong hope for early part of the new year.

 There is no guarantees and so no one really knows a date when the event will occur. Let’s just follow the FACTS and see where they lead us…okay? Iraq is full of surprises and so anything is possible

Iraq is full of surprises and so anything is possible.

  ...in my conversation with my CBI contact on my Wednesday call...We...talked about...the monetary reform and where it stood. I was told it would take some time, maybe weeks or months even for the currency swaps to take the needed effect in leveling out the parallel black market rate for the dollar. But my contact seemed very optimistic that the plan now in place could move this rate quicker than expected even. But I was warned not to expect instant success as there is still a period of monitoring it for wide swings, in other words it needs to be stable...We can see that there has been more progress towards currency reform in the last 12 months than in the twenty years combined.

There is much prosperity and abundance coming our way this new year. Let’s all just be patient and stay calm.

SOON"
  If this really does happen we will be in great shape to see the one more program rate change we have been waiting for. But remember they will probably wait and monitor the rate to ensure it is first stable, How long we don’t know.  But this is fantastic news today.

I believe we will not get out of January without seeing the project to delete the zeros and my CBI contact ...gave me assurances that this could be the case. Keep our fingers crossed nothing else interferes in the process.

 I am told they fully intend to have this parallel market on target and under control within January...if they can accomplish this target, we know what their next move will be... We don’t need to speculate...We know as a FACT

"RV UPDATE' BY MILITIAMAN, 22 JAN

  Militia Man  

Sudani...I think he's right when he says 2024 is going to be a year of achievement...We haven't seen the spending of the '23 budget yet nor have we se a pumping of that oil just yet and nor have we seen a full-blown assession to the World Trade Organization yet.  Why is that?  Because we probably have to wait to hear what they have to say when it comes to a Real Effective Exchange Rate.  Hopefully that's what we'll see...in a very very short period of time.

  Article:  "The International Monetary Fund welcomes Iraq's accession to a program that supports economic reforms"

  Quote:  "Thursday...the International Monetary Fund welcomed Iraq’s accession to a non-financing program to support economic reforms"  After decades of involvement...the specificity of many things are likely to be known by the IMF,

exchange rate regimes be sure.  For Iraq to be moving forward with all reforms ...in that there is no financing needed should  be eye opening for everyone. How does non-financing work with the IQD at 1,310 IQD to 1 USD for to pay for projects and commodities? 


It has not ever while with an IQD exchange rate of $.0006 or even $.0007 to the dollar. So why would it be any different now? It clearly wouldn't.

The fun part is we are watching history in the making...Saudi Arabia strongly supports  Iraq's ascension to the World Trade Organization.. .They've basically said Iraq has completed everything needed to be done.   Everything is just shy of announcing they have WTO ascension.  

They're taking the public and the private sector and they're merging them together so they can move this into a full-blown market economy...
