"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 28 FEB

  ...Iraq is finally breaking the news all about the Project to Delete the Zeros. This is fantastic news but just news for now. The actual execution part is coming and I was told by my weekly call to my CBI contact in Iraq on Saturday, that it will be VERY SOON!

For us investors we are still waiting for OFAC sanctions to be lifted in the US before the banks will “legally” exchange. But exchange at what rate? So, we also wait for another “official” rate change to occur by the CBI prior to the Project to Delete the Zeros. 

We know this project is just steps away from the RV/Reinstatement of the dinar back to FOREX. Once on FOREX the OFAC sanctions will have to be lifted. Then we head to the bank to exchange and only at this time. Get it?

I want to quote yet another statement from this recent article – “Banks will be responsible for financing foreign trade directly through the dollars they own” (and not from the CBI reserves). So what does this mean and what is the importance to us as investors?

 This means the CBI will no longer be asking the US Treasury to ship plane loads of dollars to Iraq to meet the demand for dollars to pay for imports. Instead, the banks in Iraq themselves will work with banks in the US to transfer dollars. Of course, this will only work if the electronic banking system in Iraq is working and used. We have learned in past news from the CBI the direct connection between electronic banking and the success of the monetary reform implementation. So, this is all interconnected. Again, something as changed, and it appears that finally the electronic Point Of Sale (POS) and consumer debit cards is taking hold in Iraq. This is a decade long project for Iraq. 

Then in the same article it also says and I quote – “Banks will be fully responsible for auditing invoices and transfers, which is the practice globally.” What this statement tells us is that banks will now take us new responsibilities, which are common global banking practices for banks. I can only imagine the CBI must have put some stiff penalties on the banks for further. This is how the rest of the world’s banking system works and so we will finally see soon Iraq coming fully out of the sanctioned, isolationist operation of their banking system and joining the rest of the world. We all know Iraq has been fully released from all UN sanctions in December of 2022 and so it will be about time to start acting like it. But we all know things are slow in Iraq and we have to remember that they are also making monumental leaps in technology and fighting corruption along the way.

After the exchange volume exceeded one billion dollars.. an Iraqi-Syrian move to adopt currencies other than the dollar, 27 FEB

 After the exchange volume exceeded one billion dollars.. an Iraqi-Syrian move to adopt currencies other than the dollar

The head of the Iraqi-Syrian Business Council, Hassan Sheikh Zaini, revealed that the volume of trade exchange between Iraq and Syria has exceeded the billion-dollar barrier, while pointing out that there is a mechanism to adopt currencies other than the dollar in this exchange.

Sheikh Zaini said, “The joint committees between the two countries are looking for a mechanism for trade exchange away from the dollar, since Syria currently exchanges in the European currency (the euro),” according to the official newspaper.

He added, "There are other platforms and currencies that Syria exchanges with other countries, and Iraq may benefit from them in the event of trade with them, especially with the volume of exchange between the two countries reaching more than a billion dollars annually."

He stated that "the two countries may use the Russian ruble, the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, the Emirati dirham, or other currencies to sustain trade exchange between them," calling for "the establishment of banks for commercial exchanges to enable the possibility of abandoning the dollar and creating another platform in this regard."

He pointed out that "the use of other currencies in trade exchange between Iraq and Syria reveals the two countries' need for each other, by benefiting from products of various types, industrial and agricultural."

He explained, "There are joint Iraqi-Syrian committees at most levels, such as agriculture, industry, trade, transportation, customs, and everything related to food and medicine. They supervise the entry routes for goods and seek to overcome many obstacles that may hinder joint trade between the two countries." link
