 The news from the Middle East has gone haywire.  There appears to be consistent and organized misinformation coming out of the Middle East.  [I] will do everything in [my] power to report correct and confirmed news reports...

 Iraq did not follow Kuwait's revalue path.  The Untied States pulled back on financial support for Iraq's revalue shortly after the invasion was over when they made the decision that were not in alignment with economic growth for Iraq.  It's been 20 years and the currency still has not been revalued...

We are learning more about why including issues like the IMF will not support a currency adjustment until the county has more income streams outside the oil industry, implementing banking reform that ties into international banking standards and providing housing for the hundred of thousands of people who have been misplaced due to decades of war, not to mention...corruption.

 Question: "How is Iraq going to do business in the international market with such a low currency rate?"  

This is why Iraq will need to increase the value of its currency.  Currency values... act as a silent force influencing a country's global competitiveness.  When a country's currency value is low it can impact it's ability to compete...Iraq's top trading partners are China, India, South Korea and on the sidelines Iran.  However things are about to change and fast.  The development road project places Iraq right in the middle of the global financial markets.  [We] have little doubt the Iraqi dinar will increase in value but we don't know when or how much.

A major financial change in Vietnam...Decree 52 regulates non-cash payment in Vietnam and will significantly alter Vietnam's financial landscape...Decree 52 marks a significant milestone in Vietnam's journey towards a cashless economy.  If you have VND bank notes you will need to find out how you can comply with Decree 52 as a foreigner.  [We] will research the topic and report back as soon as we understand the procedure.  According to the news report the banks have 24 months to comply...

 Community Comment: "Why do you think Iraq has been dragging its feet

 It's because Iraq has been FIGHTING to RAKE IN all the dinar that is OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY!  Once they got, let's say 95% of it, then they are ready to reinstate the value of the dinar to its old glory days."  

Why?  They don't have to do that.  There's no sense in doing that.  They could just do it anyways after they delete the zeros.  So no they don't have to wait to do that.  They can just reinstate it anytime they want to.

 The news continues to be good for Iraq.  This is what we want to hear.  We love that they're  continuing with the reforms as well as aiming to improve the quality of life for the Iraqi people...Are you guys starting to get numb to the good news?  Seriously.  It seems every day there's something good happening to the point where it's almost being taken for granted.  

💥IRAQI DINAR MUST WATCH THIS ONE💥 #iraqidinar #dinar #centralbankofiraq
