 [via PDK]  Question:  Is an NDA required for currency?  MarkZ:  We do not know for sure…We continue to be told there won’t be an NDA on currencies-only bonds and zim…but be prepared either way.

MarkZ

   [via PDK]   I did have a number of contacts tell me that my guesstimates on rates on currencies are going to be way under. That rates will be way higher than I was anticipating...I am hearing that from almost every source on almost every currency.

   I am hearing a lot of chatter for the weekend from group leaders...I have heard this chatter before so I am cautious...it is coming in conjunction with some great positive things coming from Iraq...I'm still holding hope perhaps over the weekend for an HCL...

 ...quiet on the RV front...All we have is rumors of the HCL is in the Kurdish regions where they made a couple changes and sent it back to the parliament…so it is now with them. We heard parliament has agreed on it and now we are waiting for them to say Boom – it’s done.So in Iraq they seem excited that Alaq is going to gone and the pending pub..FOR READ MORE: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2024/08/latest-from-markz-10-august.html

There's no rate exchange out there that's even above $3.50, nowhere out there, not even the Kuwait dinar...$3.25...I think theirs is the most valuable so how is somebody going to give a $7.00 exchange rate?

Pimpy 

 Iraq is still treading forward.  I'm curious to hear the news about what's going on with Alaq and what they find out because what they're reporting is not all peaches and cream.  But apparently he is still there working so it can't be all that bad IMO...

 Pimpy 

  Alaq, all kinds of crap coming out about him...Seems to me they were hip to what was going on damn near a year ago and this would explain whey there's so many restrictions taking place with the Iraqi Bank as well as other banks in Iraq and why it is that the United States felt like they had to take up a whole entire floor inside the Central Bank of Iraq...

The Central Bank of Iraq was forced to allocate an entire floor to the US Treasury department to  monitor money transfer operations and prevent any illegal activities.  Talk about a very clear violation of Iraq's sovereignty.   This is how bad ..FOR READ MORE: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2024/08/rv-update-by-pimpy-11-august.html

The Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee revealed the fate of the oil and gas bill that has been stalled since successive parliamentary sessions.

The Vice Chairman of the Committee, Nahro Mahmoud Qader, stated in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency ( NINA ): "The oil and gas bill has not reached the corridors of the House of Representatives yet, and has not been presented for discussion within the Council of Ministers yet."

He added: "No new draft of the bill has reached the House of Representatives at the present time," indicating that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has assigned a" tripartite ministerial team "to prepare a new final draft that will be presented first within the Council of Ministers for approval, and then sent to the House of Representatives later," ruling out at the same time that this law will be legislated during the current legislative session of the House of Representatives.

 WOW! August news from Iraq is explosive. We now see many changes to the banking system and currency auctions. This as I am told is from the pressure of the Feds and the US Treasury. ...As far as timeframes, my [CBI] contact told me to watch the progress of the banking reforms that the Feds are pushing. This includes the parallel market rate vs the CBI official rate and the currency auction levels.

Mnt Goat 

  My CBI contact said...that the GOI has not yet accepted his [Ali Al-Alaq] resignation and so it is not final...The news media ran off half cocked with the story... She said let’s wait and see what happens to Mr. Alaq. 

 If he stays, he has to agree to work with the Feds and the US Treasury and work out a satisfactory plan, then take it back the Finance Committee and explain it. He is scheduled for a trip to the US for this purpose very soon...

  She [CBI contact] thinks he will remain as the proxy director for a period more...  I believe he does...have   the best interest of the country in mind with his policies. He has talked about reviving the Iraqi dinar to 1980’s levels. This is what we all want as investors...Let’s see what happens
