RV UPDATE BY MARKZ, 24 JULY

 I am...hearing the only reason the RV did not go over the weekend was fights over the value of some old German bonds. But things are now “unstuck” and seems to be moving much quicker now that the current administration is no longer delaying things . They are too preoccupied to keep slowing and stopping things right now.

 I know of a lot of banks with meetingsAre they preparing for a banking crash? Are they preparing for a Re-valuation? What are they preparing for

   I don’t think it’s a banking crash because they keep opening up wealth management offices?  To me it makes more sense that they are preparing for a revaluation. 

 There is so much going on this morning. There are all these rumors that they have the rate - but we can’t go to the bank yet. So take them with a bit of salt...

Folks in Geneva and the WTO are dead quiet. If they are trying to keep the RV quiet like Kuwait-they may be trying to keep the WTO news quiet until they have taken some of us in…and announced things publicly.

IMPORTANT IRAQ NEWS:AL-NUSAIRI: IMPLEMENTING BANKING REFORM STRATEGIES IS THE MAIN PILLAR FOR REFORMING THE NATIONAL ECONOMY BY MNT GOAT, 24 JULY

AL-NUSAIRI: IMPLEMENTING BANKING REFORM STRATEGIES IS THE MAIN PILLAR FOR REFORMING THE NATIONAL ECONOMY 

The advisor to the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Samir Al-Nusairi, confirmed today, Monday, that the banking reform and development strategy is the main pillar for reforming the comprehensive national economy.

Al-Nusairi said in a special interview with “Al-Eqtisad News” that “the strategy of banking reform and development is the basic pillar for comprehensive and radical reform of the national economy in line with what is stated in Article Twelve, Paragraph (7) of the government program, which clearly and accurately stated that (banking reform, with what it provides of a real and effective basis for the advancement of the Iraqi economy and the activation of investment through the restructuring and mechanization of government banks, reviewing their work, and stimulating and enabling private banks to be able to support investment and development in a real way).”

Al-Nusairi touched on the “importance of the banking sector, as it occupies a vital position within the financial structure of the economy in mobilizing savings and financing development through its ability to flow money between the categories of the national economy, which is the basic step for economic reform.”

He pointed out “the measures currently taken by the Central Bank with the support of the government to launch its new third strategy for reforming and developing the banking sector for the years 2024-2026 according to seven main objectives, 24 sub-objectives and 75 initiatives to implement the objectives focusing on:

achieving monetary and financial stability,

strengthening the banking sector,

enhancing digital transformation,

activating electronic payment,

enhancing financial inclusion,

maintaining a sound financial system,

developing the organizational structure and human resources,

strengthening the internal and external relations of the Central Bank,

and the banking sector’s compliance with international standards.”

Al-Nusairi pointed out that “a national strategy for bank lending in Iraq for the years 2024-2029 was launched, aiming to increase credit granted to the private sector by 4% of the non-oil GDP, which is equivalent to approximately 7 trillion dinars, and the second goal is to increase credit to small and medium enterprises by 3% of the non-oil GDP, which is equivalent to approximately 5 trillion dinars.”

He stressed that “the new mechanisms depend on organizing the granting of loans to develop small, medium and micro enterprises by relying on and relying on a new approach to determine the basic objectives of economic development, evaluating the current situation of private sector financing, and benefiting from international experiences in this field, as well as continuing the procedures and using monetary policy applications to control the exchange rate and reduce the gap between the official rate and the parallel rate towards reaching the targeted and balanced exchange rate.”

 Al-Nusairi explained that, “If it were not for the many services provided by the banking system in developed countries, these countries would not have been able to achieve the progress and economic growth they have achieved.”

He explained that “the strength of the banking structure has become a necessity for building a prosperous economy that adopts modern systems and sound sustainable development. The development of banking habits and awareness of the importance of developing banking institutions in a way that ensures the building of a national savings base and develops the financial resources necessary to build the economy have become priorities for decision-makers.”

The advisor to the Private Banks Association continued: “The soundness of the banking system and the mobilization of sound decisions in the field of economic policies towards developing and modernizing banking systems ensures the achievement of momentum in the world of real and financial investment, which stimulates financial and monetary markets, which leads to attracting foreign capital seeking profit. Therefore, the decision-maker should take the necessary measures to fortify and strengthen local banking systems in a way that makes them capable of facing the challenges of transferring capital to and from abroad without causing money laundering or smuggling foreign currency, and then increasing the profitability of financial and banking institutions and strengthening the structure of the gross domestic product, which is what the government and the Central Bank are currently active in.”

Central Bank of Iraq: Government banks and some exchange companies continue to sell dollars to travelers through airport counters


🔹The Central Bank confirms that sales of dollars to travelers at airport counters will continue through government banks and some exchange companies


🔹Central Bank: No change to the mechanism for selling dollars to travelers

--

TNT reportedly had two confirmed bank storys that people of his went into Wells Fargo in Vegas and we're told there's a $2.98 rate on Iraq Dinar. 


They also reported that ZIM was the "sleeper currency" (that it's actually going to be redeemed) but that there was a capital gains document that would have to be signed claiming 20% tax to be collected in 2025.


 That was apparently for ZIM. 


There are treaties in place for Dinar and I believe Dong.


 So for what it's worth, Tony says that the "event" (meaning a rate on bank screens) has already occurred but that authorization hasn't been given to start RV. 


I don't know how this Wells Fargo was able to offer anyone anything prior to us all getting word

Q & A WITH MNT GOAT, 23 JULY

 Q & A

a. Question from acetone: Historical Precedents: Historically, redenominations typically affect all holders of the currency equally, regardless of their location.

Mnt Goat Answer: For the larger 3 zero notes inside Iraq the citizens will be given a time period to swap them out. There will be ONLY one IQD rate, get it? The first rate is a redenomination rate inside Iraq and it will be a change to  the official CBI rate, get it. Any banks outside Iraq will have to follow the same rate. This is why they placed a bookmark or linked rate on FOREX bak to the CBI official rate. Get it. It is already in place.

Inside Iraq this official rate will be greater than the dollar. This is why they are so concerned about the parallel rate vs the CBI official rate. They need to have the official rate over a dollar, not under. This is to suck in all these 3 zero notes. People will need an incentive. Get it? If the IQD is greater than the dollar why would the citizens not swap them out? If they don’t and hold on to them then that is what happens, when it happens. No one has a crystal ball and no one can force them to do anything. But the CBI told us there will be a deadline and inside Iraq for the general population these 3 notes will expire (not null and void, just expired), so there will be a deadline to turn them in. Remember at this point the IQD is NOT yet on FOREX. I have been saying this all along. This is a two-stage process. Did you listen to me? Go read my blog. Here is the link for the process again.
