Militia Man: Sudani...said in the past that the dinar was going to be stronger than the dollar. And, we are expecting that...an article yesterday he said they were about to strengthen the dinar.
MarkZ: To strengthen the dinar is to add more purchasing power and be stronger than the dollar. For it to be stronger than the dollar it has to be worth more than a dollar...Things are finally getting tangible enough that I can be excited.
Militia Man: This is an amazing event that we are watching unfold.

It also represents the most important forms of cooperation between Iraq and Germany, the foundations of which were laid during His Excellency’s visit to the German capital, Berlin.

The industrial city is also preparing to embrace industrialists and provide land and services, which is a feature that we aspire to be implemented in all governorates.
He pointed to the new project, which is the first to produce glass, with a capacity of 800 tons per day, which means 25% of the local market’s need. The factory will rely on silica available in Iraq, stressing the availability of many raw materials that have not been invested. He also directed the necessity of implementation according to the plan and schedule. Timeline.
The Prime Minister affirmed the government’s support for the private sector, and the provision of guarantees for all priority projects, especially the housing and construction sector, which represents a large demand for construction materials, indicating the country’s need to triple the existing factories for coverage.
Al-Sudani called on the serious private sector to invest in this important opportunity, as the government continues to remove obstacles and bureaucracy, as this path will provide real job opportunities, and larger industries will settle in this city and other industrial cities. LINK
