Dave   LOL

Sparky   ... I thought it was $3.28 yesterday ...

Dave   Sparky Forex don't lie?

Sparky   ... oh, shucks ...... I must have missed it by a day ...

Dave    Sparky back down to0.0007 ?

Sparky  ... .0006404 ...

Dave  missed that boat yet again too    Sparky LOP that!

Sparky  ... we need to be careful, what they lop ...

Dave  6 mos of wheel barrows.......

Zig  Dave : Your last conversation with Kap was fairly decent.....lol

butterfly  Honestly I don't know where these people are getting these amounts. Remember back with the rate was in the "teen".

butterfly  I believe the IQD was 2.85 before the invasion.

butterfly  Iraq can't match these numbers.

Zig  butterfly : Sheila said that it was "futures" trading.....so just anticipated future rates being traded

Sah  The Forex futures are by 1000. So if Europe is 1096 that is equal to 1000 USD. Move the decimal over to the left by three digits and more like .000328 Dinar to $1 USD.

butterfly  I could not find anything, nada, zilch from the .0007 rate. Long time ago it was .0009

Dave  CBI yrs and yrs AGO delete 3 zeros and Restore purchasing power of the IQD....

Sah  Dave Not if it is a lop. The value would not change, just smaller bills.

Dave  each note costs aleast a nickle to print

Sparky  Sah ... then slow rise ... makes sense to me ...

butterfly  It has been several years back that silvergreetings took back my 250 OR 50, I can't remember which it was and replaced them equal. I haven't looked at my dinar in yrs so I have NO clue what I have now.

Dave  Sparky with notes with have 3 less zeros

Sparky  Dave ... yup ...

Sah  They won't lop because they would have to print all that money to replace the three zero currency.

Dave   :wheelbarrow with money:

Butterfly  I believe, just me, this will all be done digitally.

Sparky  ... Shabibbi had articles out about the new, lower denoms back in 2013 ... same coloration ...

Sparky  butterfly ... I agree ...

Sah  It will go international and float from where it is otherwise we will have problems exchanging our currency for the new all though they could both be used for a limited or unlimited time together just take three zero off and will be the same.

Dave  butterfly Yes...ONCE all Iraqis have bank accounts

Sparky  Sah ... yes, transition ...

Dave  CBI had 5 or ten yrs to exchange

Sparky ... accounting purposes, mainly ...

Sah  Dave Kuwait had 30 days.

Dave  CBI mentioned 5 or ten yrs to exchange notes

butterfly  Again, Abraham said to STOP listening to the so-called gurus, everyone will know at the same time. I live by that bc he has proven to be right.

Sparky  ... yup, I recall that ...

Sparky  ... above directed at Dave ...

Sah  What we need is three decimal points off of the value of the currency not off the currency it self.

Sparky  Sah ... in a perfect world ...

Sah  No doubt.

Dave  Sah   :wheelba:

butterfly  Seck would know what the rate was, I believe it was 2.85 when they had the downfall of Saddam. Ask yourself, why would they not go back to that same rate, not 3+. It just does not make sense. IF they do go back to the rate, I truly believe it will be even lower then the 2.85.

Sparky  ... prolly will be a slow ride ... imo ... a few more years ...

Sparky  ... 17 ... ? ...

Dave Sparky NO laws.... aint happening until bench marks achieved

Sparky  Dave ... hence, Iranian influence ... imo ... since saddam, Iran took over Iraq ...only Saudi stops them ... and, both of them are enemies of the United states ...

Sah  It has to float first and hold it's own before any miracle can happen, also there is a problem with how many notes have been printed since then that decreases the value of the currency.

Sah  Iran is complaining because Iraq is building a high fence between their borders. Farmers are complaining on both sides as the river is there and their animals can not get to it if they leave a safe border on each side.

Dave  CBI 3 pilliars...social economic and political stability

Sah  With Sudani at the helm this is coming about.

Sparky  ... phone call ...  ...

Dave  Sah More about getting the Kurds on board imo

Dave  passing foreign investment laws....

Butterfly  Not going political here, but Iraq and Kurdistan reminds me of our D's and R's.

Dave  EXACTLY ......TRUE HURTS  that dialogue has not changed fer almost 20 yrs............IN IRAQ!

Dave Big oil ran away due to their disputes

butterfly  Government efforts to ease US sanctions on banks an expert in financial affairs, Mahmoud Dagher, confirmed that the Iraqi government and the Central Bank are dissatisfied with the nature of the US Treasury’s dealings with Iraqi banks, pointing out that there is an effort to lift the sanctions in light of a difficult political framework and a more difficult regional atmosphere.

Dave  with art 140 included

Dave  ERBIL court VS Baghdad court

Sah  Dave Has nothing to do with article 140. Kurdistan not sending oil for budget. Iraq not giving Kurdistan budget money and employees were not getting paid. Money paid to Kurdistan for employees went in higher ups pockets while Kurdistan was supposed to send oil. Iraq decided to pay the poor employees there not getting paid so set up digital payments right now to pay the employees direct and Kurdistan wants the money to go to them first. Where is the oil per day you promised for years. CBI digitized banks in Kurdistan and is working on all employees vetted and signed up for salaries.

Sah  All salaries there are going digital and paid by Iraq.

"THE RV AT OFFICIAL RATE OF $3.22 OF THE IQD WOILD DRAMATICALLU HELP THE US WITH THEIR DEBT" BY MILITIAMAN, 10 MARCH

 Militia Man 

 Hypothetically the United States has lets say 5 to 10 trillion dinar.  We have a nation debt of $30+ trillion.  If the US is sitting on 5 to 10 trillion dinar, if they [Iraq] come back to a previous era which they say they are going to do...they talk about about $3.22...

If they apply the Real Effective Exchange Rate to the Iraqi dinar based off their natural resources, not based off a punishment rate from the war era, not just based off of oil.  Iraq's $3.22 was based off primarily oil.  Now it's a different situation.. . [This would dramatically help the US with their debt]  Iraq has a lot of gold...oil...religious tourism...

3/4/2024

 

Firas Al-Muslimaoui, representative of the State of Law coalition, said today, Monday, that there is a policy to reduce the dollar exchange rate and control it in Iraqi markets.
 
Al-Muslimaoui added, in a special statement to an NRT Arabia correspondent, that through our hosting of the Governor of the Central Bank in the House of Representatives and more than once, he demonstrated that there is a policy to reduce the dollar exchange rate and control it in the Iraqi markets.

Al-Muslimaoui pointed out that the conditions imposed by the Central Bank administration are to limit the smuggling of cash, adding that there are steps in the right direction to almost gradually reduce the dollar exchange rate because the sudden decline is hitting the Iraqi markets. (ALMOST MY FOOT!!!...THE MONETARY REFORM HAS SUCCEEDED -F26)

No money, high prices: Kurdistan’s bazaars quiet ahead of Ramadan, 10 MARCH

 No money, high prices: Kurdistan’s bazaars quiet ahead of Ramadan

Kurdistan Region’s bazaars are quiet ahead of Ramadan because of delays in payments of government salaries and increased prices for certain essential goods.

“There is no salary, nothing,” Iskandar Rahim, an Erbil resident, told Rudaw’s Horvan Rafat on Friday. “Everything has become so expensive and people do not dare to go to the market.”

Sdiq Ahmad, another resident of Erbil, commented on how quiet the market was when he went to do some shopping.

"If they have salaries, people would buy necessities such as meat, chicken, and other home necessities, but now people cannot afford them,” he said. “People are borrowing money for the month of Ramadan.”

Market vendors say that government delays in distributing salaries have slowed their business and many goods are priced beyond the reach of their customers.

Committees from Erbil’s governor’s office are actively overseeing market activity and plan to expand their monitoring during the holy month of Ramadan to more effectively curb price hikes. Shops are usually busy during Ramadan as people buy special foods for the holy month and clothing ahead of Eid. 

“A kilogram of meat has gone up to 20,000 [Iraqi dinars]. It is very expensive,” said Gaylan Maghdid, a butcher.

It has been 40 days since the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) last distributed salaries for its civil servants and pensioners.

The government has failed to pay its civil servants on time and in full for nearly a decade. The situation worsened over the past year after Turkey suspended the flow of Kurdish crude oil through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline to its Ceyhan port in March following a ruling from a Paris arbitration court, causing the KRG billions of dollars in losses.

Without the funds to meet its payroll, the KRG has turned to Baghdad, which is sending Erbil 618 billion dinars monthly.  ink

"RI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE" BY PIMPY, 10 MARCH

 Pimpy   

 We're staying grounded...about the possibility of getting a huge payday.  Remember it's only a possibility, just like there's a possibility they could re-denominate before they change the exchange rate...

Re-denomination has nothing to do with the exchange rate.  We want the exchange rate to change, not the Iraqi currency to delete the zeros.  We don't want that to happen...Stop rooting for the deletion of the zeros.  You don't want that to happen.
