"IRAQI BANK FRIEND AKI UPDATE" BY WALKINGSTICK, 1 FEB

Walkingstick

[Iraqi Bank Friend Aki update]

This is the monetary reform roadmap for the next couple of weeks...January 29th a banking campaign was started to release deeper education about the monetary reform to the Iraqi citizens...

Either Thursday or Friday the Minister of Planning, Minister of Finance, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq and the Prime Minister Sudani are all going to be receiving the flow down of information regarding the new currency that is to be released and the new exchange rate for that new currency...Also...the Erbil Stock Exchange (ESX) and The Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX) have completed their linkup...of international platforms. They are done and going live at any moment.

Movements before they release the lower denoms and new exchange rate we expected to see this... December was to have everything ready in place to go. January all these systems are being implemented through the monetary reform education. From private banks like the one Aki [Iraqi bank friend] represents to international markets as of today January 15, 2024 they're all international now. It's what we expected...there's not more to say...because everything now is in print...

The rate doesn't matter. You're going to trip over you own feet when it finally does float because you're going to be looking for a rate. Watch the growth of the dinar's value.

The only thing missing is the lower denoms and the new exchange rate. Everything else is in position.

[Aki - Iraq Bank In US update]

AKI: There are many Iraqi citizens in the United States of American holding 3-zero notes. It is my job to collect them for the CBI, where they will destroy them. Our [job] is to turn in the 3-zero notes.

WALKINGSTICK: This is huge!

AKI: Agree. Direct deposit from now on. No limitations. Article VIII not only for the citizens but for investors.

[Aki - Iraq Bank owner in US update]

Question: " The new orders you got on January 1st, are they for you to dispense the lower denoms and collect 3 zero notes?"

Here in the Untied States we are preparing to do everything with electronic platforms...We are prepared to collect the 3 zero notes from those that wish to exchange them for American dollars...We follow International banking laws, the same laws American banks follow. Here in the United States the bank that I am in charge of will be all electronic.

When you ask about the LDs they are only found in Iraq. We do not possess them. Iraq will give to the Iraqi citizens, when the time comes, physical lower notes and coins and collect three zero notes...The difference is that here in the US I have to do everything electronic where my friends in Iraq, their banks can do it electronic or physically if they want the lower denoms and coins in their hands .

"ANALYSIS OF IRAQ NEWS: WASHINGTON’S MESSAGE TO BAGHDAD: ECONOMIC SUPPORT WILL FADE AFTER WITHDRAWAL, NO NEGOTIATIONS BEFORE ATTACKS STOP" BY MNT GOAT, 1 FEB

WASHINGTON’S MESSAGE TO BAGHDAD: ECONOMIC SUPPORT WILL FADE AFTER WITHDRAWAL, NO NEGOTIATIONS BEFORE ATTACKS STOP

Mawazine News – Baghdad
Reliable sources revealed the content of a letter handed over by US authorities to the Iraqi government regarding the arrangements for the withdrawal of the international coalition forces.

The letter included “the method of withdrawal and its timetable,” along with “the obligations on the Iraqi side,” stressing that this withdrawal, if it happens, will not be without a price and “will not stop the deterrent attacks of armed groups loyal to Iran.” The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday night that an “important letter” had been received from Washington, and that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’a Al-Sudani would study it carefully.

The sources explained to Asharq Al-Awsat that “Washington does not mind the transition to a new stage of bilateral relations, but the withdrawal of forces (by any way) will not stop the deterrent attacks of the activity of armed groups loyal to Iran, as long as they contribute to destabilizing the security and stability of the region.”

The Sudanese shared “important aspects” in the American message with leaders in the “Coordination Framework” coalition, including “confirmation that US strikes will not stop against the factions,” according to the sources. “The upcoming technical negotiations to arrange the withdrawal will not be easy and quick, and will take the time necessary to ensure that all files associated with this presence are settled,” the letter hinted.

According to the sources, “Washington encouraged Baghdad during the letter to understand and understand the consequences of the withdrawal, including the financial and economic obligations that bind the two countries.”

Iraq has been depositing its oil revenues in a bank account controlled by the US Treasury Department since 2003, pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1483, which was intended to “help Iraq manage its resources in a transparent manner.”

Since the American message arrived at the government offices in Baghdad, political forces have been active in intensive dialogues, trying to understand the appropriate way to deal with “this sudden step.” Three informed sources told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that “an influential Shiite party within the (coordination framework) is now trying to convince the factions involved in the field escalation against the Americans to retreat a little.”

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq confirmed yesterday, Friday, that the request of the United States of America to the Iraqi government to hold talks to arrange the status of its forces, is “except an attempt to mix the cards, turn the table on the resistance, and gain time, to carry out more crimes and demonic schemes to harm our people and nation.

"RV UPDATE" BY MARKZ, 1 FEB

“The US Treasury requests Iraqi cooperation to limit funding for armed factions” This is all part of what’s going on as Iraq cleans up. And yesterday - again in Iraq - they started openly talking about the exchange rate and the value of the dinar.

Comment: I hear more and more groups are under NDA’s. MarkZ: We are hearing of more and more… My banking contacts still feel If we have to sign one - it will be about the amount we get...we are definitely close.

“Burhan Nassir Mohammed Al Namral sworn in as Iraq’s new Parliament speaker” This one is important. It has been rumored in some circles for a few months that he was a stickler for moving forward with the white papers and rate change. I’m taking this as a good sign.
