"RV UPDATE" BY PAULETTE, 11 MARCH
Paulette
Community Comment: "...The rate doesn't matter but "freedom of movement of capital" is important. That is Article 8 compliance." They cannot be Article 8 compliant if the country is functioning under a MCP. A MCP [Multiple Currency Practices] includes a parallel rate of greater than 2% of the official rate by IMF definition. Saleh said last year that the parallel rate is "REQUIRED" to be 2% or less of the official rate...This 2% or less needs to be maintained for a period of 90 days. The parallel rate is still around 14% difference.
Question: "I thought they met all the requirements [to join the WTO]?" All the articles say they have legislation that needs to be passed and the next meeting is in the "middle of the year.
Question: "When is Iraq supposed to be in the WTO?" Not before they pass needed legislation, eliminate the MCP [Multiple Currency Practices] and are recognized as having accepted IMF Article 8 obligations. Accession Committee next meeting with Iraq is planned for the "middle of the year".

IMO......All the articles say they have legislation that needs to be passed and the next meeting is in the "middle of the year......
My understanding is that Frank has also said that the rate doesn't matter but "freedom of movement of capital" is important. That is Article 8 compliance. They cannot be Article 8 compliant if the country is functioning under a MCP. A MCP includes a parallel rate of greater than 2% of the official rate by IMF definition. Saleh said last year that the parallel rate is "REQUIRED" to be 2% or less of the official rate. We were taught here years ago that this 2% or less needs to be maintained for a period of 90 days. The parallel rate is still around 14% difference.
While Iraq appears to be on the way to a full RI, I believe there will be an interim step very soon. If they make the move I anticipate the MCP will be quickly eliminated and they can proceed to a full RI.
A RI is full Article 8 compliance and a return to the rate that reflects the True Value. In 2009, the MOP/MOF stated move to 1.14-1.17USD/IQD and monitor for inflation up to 3 years and then move the rate to reflect the True Value of 3.208USD/IQD. This was the plan of Dr S and it appears they are back on track following that plan. Keep in mind that Ernst & Young stated $1.30 in 2010 and the SIGIR report stated that had the project to Delete the Zeros not been postponed, the IQD would have been brought on par with the USD.
I hope that helps

"YES, THE IQD IS TRADING ON THE PRIVATE SIDE OF FOREX AT $2.70" BY PATRIOT ROD STEEL, 4 MARCH
Patriot Rod Steel
We’re Not There Yet, But 1 Step Closer than Friday!
“To be clear, yes the IQD is trading on the PRIVATE side of Forex, the institutional side, trading in futures. The trading chart has been climbing steadily and closed yesterday at $2.70. This may or may not be a precursor to what we see on the PUBLIC side. We could see more.
We could see less. We don’t know, but the point it is… before we can go to the bank as investors, the IQD must be trading on the public side of Forex.
That’s the number the CBI will post on their website when the IQD becomes tradable everywhere. The time for that to happen is now upon us, but they Have to show it. By all indications, they’re about to, IMO.

"THE NEW WORLD" BY GOLDILOCKS, 11 MARCH
GOLDILOCKS
he last few years has been difficult for so many people across the board. Our world is simply looking for direction to move forward. "Without a vision, the people perish."
These words have never been more true in the history of our world as it is now. We are beginning to gain steam in a new direction Globally, and those who participate in this new world will find themselves expanding within it.
Others will not participate in the New World, and it has a devastating effect of disconnecting people from the very energies the new world provides to sustain you.
These choices draw our attention to a wisdom deeply embedded within us all and endowed by our Creator at the moment of our birth. This is to freely choose from a myriad of paths a life in front of us a road of destiny.
Each of us have gifts and talents that can be utilized in the New World, and these are opportunities for us to explore a strange new world, to seek out life in all its forms, for the benefit of transforming ourselves and those around us in our co-creative relationship between our Creator and ourselves United by a power of peace.
