LATEST FROM SANDY INGRAM, 11 AUGUST

 Research says 70% of all lottery winners are broke within 3 to 5 years after they win the lottery.  These numbers are almost as high for ex-NFL football players who once they are no longer playing football go broke...  They're doing exactly what I am strongly recommending you don't do.  They are living off their winnings.  You want to get into a mindset of replenishing your wealth.  It will be easier to build more wealth once you have wealth.  Money begot money.  Money attracts money.

 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...

 Sandy Ingram  

 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.

Sandy Ingram  

 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...

 His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, participated in a specialized workshop on accelerating the transition to electronic payment, sponsored by the Prime Minister, and organized by the Osool Foundation for Economic Development and Sustainable Development.

His Excellency the Governor said during his speech at the workshop: The Central Bank of Iraq works side by side with the government program and the Prime Minister's direction to support electronic payment, and we are proud of what we have achieved so far. In 2023, the amounts processed through the national switchboard witnessed a significant increase, reflecting the development of the infrastructure and the expansion in the use of electronic payment channels and the impact of the campaign launched by the Prime Minister to activate electronic payment operations in general, and in the government sector in particular. 

His Excellency added that these upward trends continued to develop in 2024, as the amounts processed in the national switchboard systems amounted to more than (2) trillion Iraqi dinars in July alone, compared to (800) billion dinars in the same month of 2023, after which it became (1) trillion dinars in January of 2024, and government payments witnessed an additional increase, reaching (912) billion Iraqi dinars last July compared to (287) million dinars in the same month of 2023. 

His Excellency pointed out that payment operations at fuel stations in Baghdad alone increased significantly, recording more than (44) billion dinars in July of this year, compared to (183) million dinars in July of 2023 and (4.5) billion dinars in December 2023, revealing a huge increase in the number of points of sale (POS) to reach more than (50) thousand points of sale this year compared to approximately (11) thousand POS points of sale at the beginning of 2023, and thousands of them are in government institutions after they were zero before the launch of the campaign in June 2023.

Expressing his hope that government institutions will adopt the establishment of units specialized in electronic payment technologies to work on following up and developing this important aspect.

MZ: I am hearing that from almost every source on almost every currency. 

Member: I Always say to count on lower rates……and be surprised if its higher

Member: Anything 1 to 1 or higher is a big gift.

Member: If bond payments happened Monday or Tuesday, when would 4B be expected to go?
