Türkiye-Iraq Development Road Initiative: Paving Path for Regional Stability, 10 MARCH

Türkiye-Iraq Development Road Initiative: Paving Path for Regional Stability

Recently, discussions surrounding Türkiye-Iraq relations have become increasingly prevalent. In prior years, Türkiye maintained an uninterrupted dialogue with Iraq. However, security concerns often played a significant role in shaping the overall dynamics of their relations. As a regional power, Türkiye prioritizes not only its own stability but also the stability of neighboring countries, recognizing that regional stability is essential for its security and well-being.


Following the U.S. invasion, Iraq faced significant destabilization, with various neighboring actors contributing to sustained instability over time. Iraq's considerable wealth, particularly in oil and gas reserves, has struggled to translate into widespread prosperity due to ongoing security challenges. As Türkiye ascended as a regional power, it increasingly prioritized the stability of its neighbors, including Iraq, recognizing its pivotal significance for regional stability and security.

Development Road Project: A Strategic Initiative

Establishing significant initiatives like the "Development Road" project between Türkiye and Iraq can be crucial landmarks in navigating the complexities of political processes. This project appears to be particularly effective in addressing and prioritizing the issue of Iraq's stability, thus contributing to regional peace and prosperity. The presence of railways, oil and natural gas pipelines, together with the main road to Iraq, assembles a critical transit and energy transfer framework.

Step by step, Türkiye has put forward a political vision and efforts for the stability of countries in the region. With the strengthening of the Iraqi national army and the gradual disappearance of terrorist organizations, Türkiye-Iraq relations are expected to become much more functional.

"CBI CONTACT INTEL: "THE RATE OF IQD IS CONFIDENTIAL AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW IT" BY MNT GOAT, 10 MARCH

 MNT GOAT

I.... thought oh! Maybe the good news is this could be the next prgram rate change of the official CBI rate we are looking for prior to the initiation of Project to Delete the Zeros. 

CBI CONTACT INTEL

I then talked to my CBI contact on my usual Wednesday call to Iraq about this fiasco and it was confirmed that this information is strictly “CONFIDENCIAL” and no one, including TNT Tony or any intel sources would know it, if it was true, but it isn’t. I was assured of this fact that even the CBI does know the rate, as the rate we are looking for is determined by many factors, certainly not insider trading from ISX.....

 ...I have to come on a clarify the false rumors...about the IQD backside trading that is taking place. Read my lips-  THERE IS NO BACKSIDE, BACKDOOR OR ??? trading being conducted on the IQD.   If you want to buy it you can go to the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX) and the rate is the official rate minus the trading of demand curve for the day...  

So ... Thursday the ISX dinar sales closed at 1309 (not $3.09) dinars per one US dollar compared to the CBI official rate of 1320.  END of all the rumors...Done! ...There is no back office, government or other side trading before it goes LIVE to the public.

Article:  "OFFICIAL: THE ISSUE OF IRAQ’S ACCESSION TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION IS COMING SOON"  Quotes:  "the issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization was imminent,"; "Iraq is seeking to enter the World Trade Organization, and the issue is coming soon."

Iraq's PM Al-Sudani Prioritizes Basra's Advancement: Economic, Educational, and Security Initiatives Unveiled

During a significant visit to Basra this Saturday, Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, alongside the governor of Basra and various members of the provincial council, underscored the crucial need for collaborative efforts between ministries and provinces to foster the region's growth. Al-Sudani's discussions focused on Basra's pivotal role in Iraq's economic landscape and the collective responsibility to propel its prosperity for the nation's benefit.


Economic Revitalization and Strategic Projects

Al-Sudani pinpointed the strategic economic initiatives underway in Basra, notably the development of Al-Faw port and the Basra - Shalamcheh border crossing, which have piqued regional and international interest. "The critical transition towards economic revitalization in Basra," he remarked, is vital for Iraq's broader ambitions. These projects are not only expected to enhance Basra's economic stature but also to strengthen Iraq's position in international trade networks, promising a brighter economic future for the country.

Boosting Education and Addressing Security Concerns


The Prime Minister also highlighted the expansion of educational opportunities as a cornerstone of Basra's, and indeed Iraq's, advancement. Through the Iraq Development Fund, the private sector is set to play a significant role in constructing and maintaining schools across the country. This initiative aims to bolster the educational infrastructure, preparing the younger generation for future challenges. Furthermore, Al-Sudani addressed the persistent security challenges in Basra, emphasizing the local government's role in supporting security forces. "Enhancing stability is a crucial indicator for attracting investors," he asserted, linking peace and security directly with economic prosperity.

Engagement with the Community

Understanding the importance of community engagement, Al-Sudani called for a deeper connection with the residents of Basra. He stressed the need to listen to their concerns, a move that not only fosters trust between the government and its citizens but also ensures that developmental projects align with the people's needs and aspirations. This approach is expected to create a more inclusive and responsive governance model, driving Basra's advancement in alignment with the public's expectations.

In his discussions, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani laid out a comprehensive vision for Basra's future, intertwining economic, educational, and security strategies. His visit underscores the central government's recognition of Basra's importance and its commitment to addressing the governorate's multifaceted challenges. As these initiatives unfold, the eyes of Iraq and the world are on Basra, anticipating its emergence as a beacon of prosperity and stability in the region.

"RV UPDATE" BY SANDY INGRAM, 10 MARCH

 Sandy Ingram  

 Vietnam Dong (VND):  The reason for such a low rate is the transition from a centralized economy to a market-based one...We learned [Vietnam had] over 3 million international arrivals in the first 2 months of 2024, an increase of 68.7% year-on-year according to data released by The General Statistics Office.

 In 2023 Vietnam recorded approximately $28.5 billion US in tourism revenue...Iraq has the ability to generate this same amount or more each year due to the historic landmarks and religious hot-spots in the country.  

All Iraq has to do is implement safety for tourists.   Egypt generated $10.7 billion in tourism in 2022 and $13.1 billion in 2023...

Iraq is the birthplace of the top three religions in the world today - Judaism, Christianity and the Muslim faith.  There are important landmarks within Iraq for all three of these religions, including the ancient city of Babylon.

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....

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.
