"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 12 JUNE

 Mnt Goat 

 ...the IMF is not going “lop” theIraqi dinar.  A “lop” is a tool the IMF uses to restart a currency from massive inflation. ...We also have articles for Iraq telling us they WILL NOT lop the dinar. They do not have massive inflation and so this tool of a lop is not necessary. That is why they call it the “project to delete the zeros” and not a ”lop”.

Iraq...when ready, they will drop the three zeros and give the citizens so many days to turn them in the old three zero notes for exchange of the new lower currency denominations. This exchange will most likely be electronic. It will be a 1:1 exchange but not like many think...

I DO NOT mean one dollar for one dinar. I mean, for instance, a 25k note for a new 25 note. This is the 1:1 the CBI has talked about many times. Yes, the dinar may revalue first in-country to just over a dollar, but this is still not what the CBI meant by 1:1 in the past...the VALUE of the dinar has always been there...only when they drop the three zeros it becomes more manageable and nominal. The VALUE is still the same.

The electronic systems are taking hold...This will allow the shrinkage/withdrawal of the tangible currency notes from the market that is needed in the process to Delete the Zeros...a critical part of it...

I can remember hearing as far back as 2010 from Dr Shabibi the importance of the electronic banking effort and its advantages to the process. Yes, they MUST shrink down the currency mass...if you shrink down the monetary mass than what is left will be worth more.
