Baghdad Today – Baghdad The dollar exchange rate continues to rise in the main stock exchanges in Baghdad, reaching nearly 150,000 dinars for every 100 dollars this morning, Monday (July 22, 2024).
Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges recorded the sale of $100 at 149,250 dinars, after it recorded 148,900 dinars yesterday, against a fixed purchase price of 148,250 dinars.
While local markets and exchange shops recorded the sale of 100 dollars for 150,250 dinars, which means that the difference between the official price (132,000) and the parallel price is still more than 18,000 dinars for unknown reasons and without the slightest government action except for statements, declarations and promises that do not contribute to its decrease.

·🌺 While some Tier 3 groups still haven't gotten paid, there's plenty of rumor that some indeed have. We have confirmed that the Paymasters have long since been funded - but what we're waiting on is for their people to be funded. Listen to Chronicles of an Ambassador Part 11 & 12 Gintel to get a stronger handle on what this means - so you're intellectually able to decipher between facts and fiction from the GNN. Details matter! I'm actually leaning to the fact that action IS happening in certain pockets of the world and things are intentionally being kept quiet. 😉 When things change with Reno, I'll let you know - as that remains a clear indicator. 🙂🤐☺️
💢 THE BEAUTIFUL - How many times have I begged you to watch for the bigger events from your 40K perch & and look way beyond what the GNN is "saying"? Well, the facts are - we could be here, on the precipice of larger global political events. We're able to confirm military and law enforcement movements which point to things getting spicy 🔥. I'm honestly thinking the next two to three weeks could hold a lot!
💢 Celestial Alliance affirmations - 😇 Cudos to you, GLL! They are literally calling y'all "Eagle Eye Tribe" and they love the visual object lesson we gave of you all in your "GLL Farm Treehouse" looking circumspectly with your super bionic binoculars! 😆👀 You have earned high praise for your diligence for watching for and searching for what's true and using your intuition and honing discernment. 😇 Much to share on this topic, but it'll have to wait for a Chronicles teaching - too much to type, but it'll be worth the wait - I guarantee it! 😁😉
·⭐ More to add to your positive rumor table - It's said a Week To Remember is coming very soon. Global events are leaning to this plausibility, to be sure. We'll wait it out and watch together.
·⭐ No one can deny my stalwart confidence in the military med beds - listen to Chronicles of an Ambassador Part 4 through 6 to learn more.... But we're also getting more confirmation in real life of their presence and distribution and readiness for roll out. I've not been given permission to say more... But Do Not Doubt their reality. 😉☺️
·⭐ In closing, thank you for being the kindest, the smartest, the most engaging, the most hilarious, the most caring, the most faithful, the most loyal, the most deciphering and the most powerful and prayerful people on Telegram!! No one like you, GLL!! YOU make it a pleasure to serve you & your servant leadership team brags about you often! 🌺💯❤️

Iraq 07/22/2024 The world is awaiting the results of the US elections scheduled for next November, which seem to be the most exciting in recent decades, after being dominated by personal touches and the conflict between the current president (Biden) and the previous one (Trump). Iraq is not excluded from the American spotlight, as it is a link between a number of international and regional parties.
Academic and researcher in political affairs, Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Issawi, warned that Iraq's political situation is different from its previous situation, indicating that the Iraqi government is proceeding to zero diplomatic relations with the United States.
Al-Issawi told Al-Sabah: "We are not in 2006 or 2010 or 2014 when Iraq needed the international coalition, so the impact of the US elections is less than before." He added that "Iraq will not be affected by America and vice versa, as Iraq is no longer a major file to influence the US elections, as it has been preoccupied with the war in Gaza and Ukraine."
He continued, "There is talk that US policy is different with the arrival of Trump, and this is not true, because it is a state of institutions." He stated that "when Trump lost the previous elections and refused to hand over power, it was legally taken from him,
" stressing that "some link the elections in Iraq to the elections in America, while there is no impact, because the current government has drawn the course of foreign relations and is proceeding to zero out relations with everyone, so that the relationship with Washington will be more diplomatic."
Al-Issawi pointed out that "the time of the expansion of American influence is over, and therefore the American elections will have less impact on Iraqi politics."
For his part, political analyst Dr. Majash' Al-Tamimi stressed the importance of the upcoming American presidential elections.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Sabah: "The United States and Iraq are allies according to a security agreement and another strategic agreement that includes non-military and security matters," adding that "the United States considers Iraq part of its national security, while Iraq considers the United States an important ally with its strength in the economy, security and other matters, as its foreign trade is in US dollars and its money is deposited in the US Federal Reserve," stressing that "Iraq is affected by what is happening in America."
Al-Tamimi continued: "Accordingly, I do not think that the Republicans' victory in the elections will greatly affect Washington's policy towards Iraq, because Iraq wants this relationship to continue."
He stressed that "the American presence is important for Iraqi national security, as American forces provide protection for the largest ISIS camp in Syrian territory, and in the absence of American support there will be negative effects on Iraqi internal security."

PART 1/2 -- The Good, The Bad & The Beautiful ☺️💗 Here's your Gintel for the weekend 😁⬇️ 7.21.24
💢THE GOOD - Let's review some facts, which I've confirmed from real, live people that we trust. Boots on the ground types. Everything I'm sharing is from my own digging and my dear friends who are gracious enough to feed us very trustworthy information.
·⭐ We've confirmed that Iraq's in-country rate is indeed in the range of $3.60 - $4.00 (vetted ✅ from Iraq)
·⭐ We've confirmed that German Bonds are paying out. More excitingly, this is confirmed by German friend in Germany whose friend's GBs have been processed. ✅
·⭐ We have also confirmed that other European Bond contacts are extremely excited and confident that they will be finished by End-of-Month, according to their group leaders. This is coming from multiple sources. ✅ Stay calm & guarded - because the pace of events still remains to be seen. ☺️
💢THE BAD - I'm kinda surprised how really hush hush things are on the heels of Iraq's WTO accession meetings. 🤐 Dang! They don't want to squeak a leak, do they?! 😁😆 I feel your angst and your distress in the waiting. I get it. I shared recently with the family in GLL Chat that I try to be truthful. I think I might have been the only person on these pages who said I actually thought Iraq might not announce their rate before the WTO meeting on July 18, although I wanted to be wrong. I felt they would take time to put their final steps in motion for the official announcement to the world of their new rate. Lots of gurus suggested that Iraq had to have it done before 7.18.24. And here we are.... Still waiting... I'm glad I at least gave many of you that cautious expectation for those who cared to ask for my thoughts on that topic. My own reflection on that - gut feeling - assisted me greatly in the days following that monumental meeting on Thursday. I've felt settled. At peace 🕊️
.
·🌺 I'm totally understanding as to why Iraq has to be so secretive! 🤐 Let's remind you of these key factors: Their new rate is in budget which has been published (secretly) in the June 23rd edition of their national Gazette. While some good guys refer to it as "the lost papers" - we like to think of it as "hidden" (intentionally). It's not just being hidden from the Iraqi citizens, it's being hidden from Parliament and the international community as well. It's all part of keeping this big reveal in the shadows, keeping these groundbreaking facts close to the chest. At just the right time, we know this will be revealed to the masses. On the positive side, we in Tier 4B can go before the Gazette details are made known. ➡️ I actually prefer this expectation due to the fact that this scenario would further keep the huge news sequestered so it's truly a "Private Exchange" for us; and the world won't let on to what's truly going on - yet - until it's time to go public. This is still very much a possibility. 🙂
·🌺 Misinformation is so needed right now. But facts are, Reno is still quiet - on Alert, but not on High Alert YET. This isn't bad news considering we know of other hot spots where news is favorable. 🙏 I just want to be balanced and fair and not hurt people with forced - or false - expectations - and if something is a rumor, I'll tell you.

ITC Provides Skills to Support Iraqi Trade
JULY 12, 2024
By John Lee.
The International Trade Centre (ITC) has organised a tailored training programme providing in-depth insights and practical tools for policymakers who are working to increase Iraq's trade.
The training focused on project management and value chain analysis.
According to a statement from ITC, participants learned to screen markets, analyze trade indicators, and prioritize products with the most trade potential while taking into account competitiveness issues.
They also gained skills to analyze the work of everyone along the value chain, looking for new market opportunities and for entry points to make trade more inclusive of women and youth.
In the project management component, the programme included sessions on activity and resource planning, and the development of robust project proposals. These sessions showed how to plan and execute projects successfully.
The training came through the EU-funded SAAVI initiative, which stands for Strengthening the Agriculture and Agri-Food Value Chain & Improving Trade Policy in Iraq.
Participants were selected from the Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), and Ministry of Trade (MoT).
The programme featured both international and national experts from diverse fields, ensuring a sturdy mix of theory and practical application. A notable component of the training took place in Amman, Jordan, where participants engaged with regional agribusinesses to explore opportunities and potential solutions.
Participants benefitted from training sessions and field visits in collaboration with development consultancy Eco-Consult. This hands-on experience demonstrated advanced techniques and strategic thinking from neighbouring countries.
Lujain Mustafaa, Head of International Relations at the Ministry of Planning (MoP), said:
"The training touched on many topics related to the policy, strategies, and value chain.
"As we work with the MoP, this type of training allows us to witness the strategic thinking of other countries. The field visit demonstrated how next-door countries have advanced techniques, that we aspire to implement in Iraq. It highlighted how economic growth can be driven by the agriculture value chain."
Rasha Saleh, from the World Trade Organization (WTO) department at the MoT, added:
"This training was different and practical for the Ministry of Trade. The group work, where we brainstormed with representatives from various ministries, was particularly engaging. It was a valuable experience."
Participants were awarded ITC certificates at the concluding session held in May 2024 in Baghdad. Through this initiative, Iraqi officials acquired valuable knowledge and tools for effective policymaking, planning, and execution of agricultural and trade-related projects, ultimately contributing to the country's economic growth and sustainability.
Over three years, the SAAVI project has diligently worked on strategy design, building commercial value chain alliances, enhancing youth employment skills, and improving Iraq's trade policy to support the country's WTO accession process.
The International Trade Centre's SAAVI project is funded by the European Union and implemented under the leadership of the Government of Iraq in partnership with the Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Trade.
