Article: "The document..The House of Representatives votes next Monday on the budget schedules" Finally after all this time. There was a huge delay.
Trump did not buy Iraqi dinars. You realize Trump has been tied to Iraqi dinar way before he was the president?
...You have to be careful about where you're getting your source from...
There are no articles out there that confirm this at all...There's no, and I mean none, proof out there that Donald Trump owns Iraqi dinar...
Article: "Expert: The Iraqi economy is witnessing a remarkable growth, with the decline in the dollar exchange rate." This is good. We need this to happen. Iraq needs it to happen.
More importantly the policies that are being implemented by Iraq are favorable amongst the IMF, World Bank and all those people who are involved with making sure Iraq stay on track, stops laundering money and financing terrorist. The more Iraq continues to stay on track and prove to the world they are going to behave themselves for now on the doors open for Iraq to rejoin the international community...
Article: "Economist: The budget is not affected but dollar exchange rates. And explain the reason" The person is saying the budget is never affected by the dollar exchange rate because the budget is based on Iraqi dinars.
Article: Central Bank of Iraq quote "There are no current plans to print new currency."
What that tells me is people don't have to worry about a lop or redenomination because in order for you to have a redenomination or a lop you have to create new currencies. It also tells me they're not creating the lower denominations which means they're going to stick with the currency they currently have. Some people see this as the glass half full. Some people look at it as the glass is half empty.
I agree it's going to happen. I don't have doubt about that. I'm just keeping an eye on whether or not they want to delete the zeros. If they go to a free floating market hopefully there won't be...deleting the zeros and we'll see the exchange rate go up pretty quick before they have time to respond...
Iraq was already a member of the World Trade Organization. They are going through the ascension process for a second time. That's because all the rules, regulations, understandings and business practices...changed once the fall of Saddam Hussein. Now we have to make sure all their practices, rules and regulations regarding trade line up once again with the World Trade Organization. Iraq has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 2004. This is their second time throughout the ascension process...
There's this misconception that the World Bank, IMF and the BIS get to tell countries what to do. They don't...They facilitate. They make recommendations but they don't control a country's bank..----.
Another budget is getting ready to come and go and there is no talk of the rate change. Isn't that what they told you? It would be in the new budget because there was no way for them to do large projects, there was no way for them to move forward without an exchange rate change...Why so secret now? Is this one of those things they're trying to keep from the people?
They didn't keep it from the people last time [they increased the value] and there's no mention of it this time...Keep your fingers crossed, it hasn't passed yet so maybe they'll change it between now and the time they pass it...You guys know what I think.
Floating the currency means the value is determined by the market, so if people for whatever reason want to start investing in the Iraqi dinar and the start buying up the Iraqi dinar that means the demand for it is there, think supply and demand.
Since they have a liquidity issue, there's not going to have a lot of Iraqi dinar out there and if that's the case then they don't have the supply to feed the demand...But we'll be more than happy to sell our Iraqi dinar back to them if they get the exchange rate up around a quarter or more. I know I would.
