If they float the dinar it will be in a very tight band. If it's a low rate, if it's a dollar then they'll float and it'll drive the rate up. But if they come out at an RI, reinstatement of $3.22 and then the float, then they're going to have some serious very tight banks on the float. It will be monitored very closely. It will only allow it to be a plus or minus of 5%. It cannot go any further than that in the float.
For example, don't let it get past maybe $3.50...They will cap it quickly...
[Iraqi bank friend Aki update]
The CBI board of directors decided...to hold meeting with only all of their executives of all their banks...These two or three meeting are going on...
This is on the subject of the monetary reform, lower notes, exchange rate, budget ... These next few days are going to be very silent. The press will not cover it. No one will know anything about it. They will suppress this information...This silence is normal and to be expected right now. [Aki] has seen this quietness before when the CBI was getting ready to make a major move.

... More and more sources are telling me that serious money movement and us moving towards the banks somewhere around the 12th-15th. Noone knows the exact timing but they are certainly preparing lots of bank contacts for that time period , so I think it may speak well to where we may be on that.
I keep getting loaded up on the Rumor side …There is a lot going on and they are saying that we hit the banks sometime around July 12th. We will see what is accurate as we get closer…but my goodness, the enthusiasm from the banking side and the group side is nuts. It’s exciting but I don’t want it to be another let down.
...in Iraq they are working with the Saudi’s directly to complete undersea cable agreement for internet connectivity. Iraq is becoming a central hub for communications in the middle east. Big news for Iraq. If you are going to be a regional leader- Iraq is going to need some higher valued dinar…imo
