Investing in local gas instead of burning it in oil fields is a government demand!, 4 MAY
Investing in local gas instead of burning it in oil fields is a government demand!
Iraq spends approximately five billion dollars annually on gas imports, which could be reinvested in the state budget if local gas were invested in energy production. This step’s success may be contingent on a number of factors, the most significant of which is the availability of project-specific technical skills.
There are many difficulties that substitute the method of nearby gas venture, the most noticeable of which is the presence of ideological groups that advantage from gas imports, notwithstanding their endeavors to deter most financial activities, as indicated by subject matter experts.

Article: "The most difficult option.. Warnings of the danger of floating the Iraqi dinar without achieving an important condition” As I have mentioned numerous times, a float is coming for the Iraqi dinar. The question is.. when will they have sufficient diversification of the economy to support such an event?
A country's currency is not some random act. An exchange rate is based on many factors including: reserves, GDP, economic growth etc. Iraq has a long ways to go and must pass laws to encourage investment. Only with the success of Iraq's economy can the dinar rise in value.

Article: "Advisor to the Association of Banks: The Central Bank is following a consistent approach to achieving banking reform"
Quote: "the management of the Central Bank of Iraq plans to gradually cancel the window for selling foreign currency during the year 2024, until it leaves it completely." ...this is huge news... Iraq cannot end the auctions unless they have an alternative to the auctions... which means they plan to float the dinar by the end of the year...floating the dinar will give them a new mechanism to maintain the dinar, the CBI will buy and sell blocks of dinar like other central banks do to maintain their currency...
They will also have to use dinar to pay for goods and services which will make the dinar internationally traded...they want the banks and Iraq to establish relationships around the world with International standards and full compliance which means that means IMF Article XIV...This seems pretty clear and excellent news. We very well see that Iraqi dinar float on the global market at the end of this year or early next year...I think it's very promising...it definitely is very good news.

Question: "Will the Vietnam Dong ever RV?"
They have been clearing up a lot of their corruption over there and they are on a huge sweep. It's IMO that they reason why it is where it is as far as value is concerned is because of these corrupt politicians. If you get rid of them, there's a good chance whoever is in office will allow the Vietnam dong to go up in value.
Question: "What do you think would be the ideal exchange rate for the dinar? "
You need something that's right in the middle...1 to 1 exchange rate would be right in that sweet spot. Enough to where they get more purchasing power on their imports but also still be competitive on the market with their exports. I would say 1 to 1 exchange rate would be the perfect location.
Some of the bigger points we see inside the Iraqi dinar community such as, 'Let them reinstate the exchange rate to $3.22 the old rate.' That's not the old rate. That's been a myth for a long time...The $3.22 rate was there but that was not the one they left when it became a devalued currency. It was something like $1.52. The other one [myth] is the hydrocarbon law that once it passes then the Iraq citizens are going to get payments. They're not going to get payments. Read the law, nowhere does it say they're going to get payments.
