Article Quote: "Advisor to the Prime Minister al-Sudani...the global economic community estimates as a stock capital at prevailing price today, Iraq's worth about $16 to $17 trillion U.S. dollar"
It's a lot...Instead of having people come in and mine it, take it away and produce and sell it, Iraq's going to mine it, produce it and sell it. They're going to get both sides of the equation...That raises the income stream for Iraq...
Article: "Fouad Hussein: America avoids talking about sanctions against Iraqi banks"
The banks that were sanctioned were likely ones that may have had connections to the crime of the century. Those arrest warrants for many in the previous government are fresh in the news. Regardless the US Treasury has more important things to talk about. They are talking reforming the banks and financial issues above and beyond energy!! Things are coming along very well. They are setting the stage in the USA and the UK, while informing us all along the way.. I so very like today's news.. It is amazing.
The Central Bank in Zimbabwe has accumulated nearly a ton of gold since introducing a law that forces mining companies to pay part of their royalties using gold.
Now, they are working on backing the nation’s currency with gold.
Zimbabwe has applied to join the BRICS New Development Bank.
The BRICS development bank has said they aim to start loans in local currencies to lessen dollar dependency and foster a multipolar global financial system.
Gold will play a massive role in the future, just like it has in the past. We are living in transformational times.
Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole has tremendous resources – both physical and human capital. Time for these nations to wake up and come together.
Africa Is a continent with large reserves of gold, diamonds, copper, iron ore, bauxite & platinum. South Africa is the world’s largest producer of platinum. DR Congo is the world’s largest producer of cobalt and a significant producer of copper. And at least 10 African countries feature among the world’s top 50 producers of gold. Besides minerals, Africa has vast reserves of oil and gas, arable land & favourable climate, making it a significant producer of agricultural commodities including cocoa and coffee. Africa is not underdeveloped, it is overexploited! With proper administration and the right leadership, this continent will regain its former luster in a couple of generations!
FIREFLY: The foreign minister already in USA is a prelude to Sudani grand stand that's coming April 1st, our new fiscal year.
FRANK: So much is now pointing for your 1st quarter. April the 1st or maybe the first week of April especially with Sudani going to see the President of the United States in Washington DC on the 15th of April. It seems to me he's going to go see the president with a new exchange rate under his belt...not the weak leadership of a program rate.
FIREFLY: TV is say when Sudani goes to Washington. OMG that's a long time off. Means nothing changing until after that probably, if it does this year.
FRANK: I don't care if it happens on the 15th of April. I don't care if it happens tomorrow. I just know it's happening with all that we're seeing. The proof is there. There's no doubt about it.
FIREFLY: Tv talked about parliament finance has been meeting...with the CBI officials talking about mechanisms to pay the salaries and all the project we have. This is a good sign. They are meeting right before the budget goes to parliament next week.
FRANK: Firefly knows if it does go to parliament and they vote, it will expose an exchange rate. Certainly not a program rate.
FIREFLY: Talked to bank friend. He told me it seems to be the quiet time but soon news on the amending budget will appear...Nothing will get done, so it's going to be soon. The dropping of the zeros is off the exchange rate...We were told on TV that during next week the 2024 amended budget will arrive at parliament for their vote.
FRANK: Stay very close to your friend because at any moment IMO I believe he'll be able to give you what you're looking for, what they promised you.
After It Was 63 Trillion In 2023... The 2024 Budget Deficit Will Rise To 80 Trillion Dinars
Baghdad Today – Baghdad Today, Wednesday (March 27, 2024), the Minister of Planning, Muhammad Tamim, revealed that the budget deficit has risen to 80 trillion dinars.
A statement from the office of the Chairman of the Finance Committee, received by Baghdad Today, stated that “the committee, headed by Atwan Al-Atwani, hosted today the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning, Muhammad Tamim, to discuss ways to overcome obstacles to listing and financing projects, and to discuss the reasons for the delay in sending the 2024 budget schedules to the committee.”
Al-Atwani stressed during the meeting that, “The goal of approving the tripartite budget was to give the government flexibility to implement its program.”
He pointed out, “Yesterday, in its meeting with the governors, the committee discussed simplifying the procedures for listing and financing service and strategic projects undertaken by local governments, and therefore today it is reviewing the proposals and proposals of the governors to the Minister of Planning regarding ways to overcome the obstacles to listing and financing projects.”
Al-Atwani asked the Minister of Planning about the reasons for the government’s delay in sending the 2024 budget schedules, and the latter replied, “The government committee responsible for reviewing and auditing those schedules is working to reduce the deficit of 80 trillion dinars because it is considered a large deficit.”
The Chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, “The committee is looking forward to sending the 2024 budget schedules as quickly as possible, because its continued delay has greater negative repercussions on the financing and implementation of projects, in addition to its impact on the productive sectors.”
Al-Atwani revealed that "the total budget for 2024 amounted to about 228 trillion dinars."
The Minister of Planning said that his ministry relies on an advanced electronic program to fulfill the project listing requirements, and that it has come a long way in terms of simplifying procedures. LINK
We often talk about $0.10 to $0.25 to one U.S. dollar. People get upset but that is what could happen without a reval. And most of the [Dinar investors] would experience a six-figure profit if the currency just went up to 10 cents to 1 U.S. dollar.
A pivotal moment looms on the horizon with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani slated to visit Washington DC on April 15, 2024. President Biden is set to host this crucial meeting...It's not all about military... the meeting is also expected to tour upon Iraqi financial reforms...This is the reason this meeting is important for Iraqi dinar investors. The US...undoubtedly has a vested interest in the successful implementation of these reforms.
