RV UPDATE BY FRANK26, 17 OCT

 Question: "Is this going to be a capital gain?" A lot of people desperately do not want to pay taxes.  I believe they live in this world they create where taxes never exist.  I'm sorry, if you honestly think you're going to be able to get involved in this and exchange this currency, that's called a capital gains, without having to pay any taxes you're delusional...Yes you're going to pay taxes, that's why it's important to have a receipt...held for one year you'll probably be in the 20% tax bracket...if you don't have a receipt, you lost it, you'll probably be in the 40%.  Biden just said a couple days ago he wants to increase those taxes over 50%...capital gains..

  Is the goal of the CBI for the Iraqi dinar exchange rate to go international?  Is that the goal of the monetary reform?  No.  It's to RI...The goal is not to send it to you internationally so you can make money off of their currency.  The goal of the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar is to lift the value of the currency by removing at least three zeros from their exchange rate.  In doing so, then their monetary reform will require another reform, which is the denominations...the lower notes.

This Is The Volume Of Our Trade With Iran.. An Economist Reveals The Reasons For The Dollar Problem Inside Iraq

 Economy |Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Economic expert, Munir Al-Abidi, revealed today, Tuesday (July 16, 2024), the volume of trade between Iraq and Iran, while indicating that the dollar problem in Iraq is not due to official trade.

Al-Obaidi said in a clarification he published on Facebook, which was followed by "Baghdad Today", "The Iranians say that our trade with Iraq during three months amounts to 3 billion dollars, distributed as 1.2 billion to meet the need for gas, 700 million dollars for electricity, while 200 dollars are for food, and another 200 million for iron trade."

He added, "This means that the value of food and iron during the year amounts to only 1.5 billion dollars annually," indicating that "some say that our trade with Iran amounts to 12 or 14 billion dollars, which is the reason for the dollar crisis."

Al-Obaidi said, "Our official trade for the private sector does not exceed 3 billion dollars with Iran and does not exceed 300 million dollars with Syria," stressing that "the problem with the dollar is not the official trade with Iran and Syria."

He pointed out that "the problem of the demand for dollars in the local market is to cover the needs of other types of informal and illegal trade, most notably drugs," stressing that "all this fuss, crying and wailing in the channels is to reopen the money channels for this trade."  LINK

Iraq Delete & Add In Its Tables.. The 2024 Budget Will Not Reach The Citizen. Representatives of the people are manipulating their power illegally. After it was approved by the specialists, and before it was sent to the implementing body, numbers were deleted and added while walking through the corridors of the Iraqi Council of Representatives. This is not within their authority as a legislative body, and their right does not exceed approving it or returning it to the Council of Representatives.  After the legal breach and exceeding the fiscal year by more than 6 months, another breach occurred in the 2024 budget schedules by some members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives before sending it to the Council of Ministers, so the government returned it to the corridors of the Council of Representatives to delete the changes made, as it is a purely governmental task Speaking about this file, a member of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, Moeen Al-Kazemi, accused some members of the House of Representatives of tampering with the budget tables after approving them and then sending them to the Council of Ministers, while he confirmed that investigations are ongoing and those who tampered will be held accountable. Al-Kadhimi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "After reviewing the tables by the Finance Committee and agreeing on them, with the Prime Minister being given powers to transfer 2 trillion dinars to develop the region in the governorates, some numbers were changed before sending them to the Council of Ministers," noting that "the changes occurred within the House of Representatives and before they reached the government."   He added, "The Council of Ministers returned the tables to the House of Representatives for the purpose of correction and cancellation of the additions that occurred," noting that "the Finance Committee is investigating who dared to tamper with the budget tables and how the Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives signed the changes that occurred."   Al-Kadhimi said: “There will be accountability for those who tried to change some numbers in the tables, as they dared to attack the people’s livelihood without the permission of the Finance Committee and the House of Representatives.” Parliament session resumes back on the 20th/21st of July. In other words- The 2024 Budget is Unconstitutional & will be returned to Iraq parliament to make amendments to them. SHIT CANT GET APPROVED UNTIL THE IRAQ DINAR RATE CHANGES …LFG #itshappening
