The corrupt are going to get exposed. Paying double and or to fake people is not going to fly with the new systems in place. Skimming off the top is going to have to stop. I would suspect it will quickly too...

Corruption...At the very last minute you're going to do something that's dramatic and you're going to create value
, you're going to want to have all the bad folks under the gun and maybe even notified prior to that we got your number..
What I bring has data behind it. I'm not just making it up or just getting phone calls. I'm actually doing the work. I put it together. It takes a lot of time to put all the work together.
I like doing it because it does help so many people...You're not the only ones that are tired. Everybody in our crews can be tired at times. We all need to support...

There's some people out there that have stolen a lot of money and that money is still floating around the world...If you stole it you're probably going to have a knock on the door...If you're playing by the rules you shouldn't have a problem. Depends on who writes the rules of course...

Community Comment: "Seems like there's some good news & some so not good. I have the feeling we aren't close, by a long shot."
I pointed out a few months ago that Iraq was ending the currency auction at the end of this year. Nothing is going to happen with the dinar until after that and they begin to diversify their economy.

The Iraqi dinar is a currency of a country it's not a lottery ticket. There is no magical RV...Owning dinar is risky, which may strengthen over time, but it's a long-term investment.
Article: "Iraq speeds up steps to join WTO" Those that follow me know that we posted information that stated the Central Bank of Iraq planned to end the currency auctions at the end of this year, joining the WTO sometime next year would also benefit them.

Seems to be a lot of hype lately that people are getting excited for some Dinar RV. Not how currencies work. Iraq has a lot of work to do...If and when the dinar goes up in value it will be based on the success and growth of Iraq's economy.

Question: "So the RV tomorrow 3:00? Lol" You need to change your thinking. There is no RV, never will be one. The only way that dinar can go up in value is 'gradually' over time based on the success and growth of Iraq's own economy.

Article quote: "new pipeline project at an amount estimated at approximately 6.5 billion Iraqi dinars ($4.9 billion)" Community Comment "The mathematical 'mistake' basically equals 1.32. This seems very very coincidental to the deletion of the zeros."Referencing the exchange rate in billions rather than trillions is an easy mistake to make. It happens all the time and everyone thinks there's something to it. Wrong.
Question: "What happens now that the auctions are soon to be over?
What does this mean for the Dinar holders out there Kap?" It means monetary policy is changing after 20 years to reflect the economic changes in Iraq. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Floating the currency is the best option but only once they have created a diverse economy that is not dependent solely on oil.
...New currencies coming out in Iraq. Not true, the Iraqi dinar is the currency of Iraq. As far as any new smaller denominations, they will be introduced only as needed if and when the value increases and warrants so. There is no significant RV!

...The dinar to float at well over a dollar. Unlikely, the dinar when it floats will be whatever the current exchange rate is and could rise gradually accordingly.
Community comment: "Today the cbi says there are no new printing of bills"
That is correct. The Central Bank does not randomly print currency unless it's to replace damaged or worn out notes. There is no need for a new currency unless it is warranted. Moving to digital will eventually reduce physical notes.
Question: ----"They have a very largebudget ,without an increase in rate how do they meet the projects that is lined up?"
External expenses are paid in dollars since their primary revenue is dollars. Dinar is used to pay salaries, etc. in country.
CCommunity Comment: "Hopefully in the next 5 yrs we will see an appreciation of the currency price, based on the last year of progress."I agree! Iraq has an excellent opportunity now to diversify their economy and develop the banking system.
Much of the float articles that we have seen have concerns about speculators that is because they are referencing dealers speculating within the country. That will not happen.
All of these changes that they're talking about pertain to monetary policy. They have nothing to do with the exchange rate. Whether or not the exchange rate goes up or not is directly related to the economic success thereafter.
By the end of the year when the Central Bank of Iraq ends the currency auction, only transfers amongst established Iraqi banks and regional or International banks will occur. In other words, the float of the dinar and transfer of funds will be institutional.
What this means for us is the future of the dinar exchange rate is directly tied to the capital flowing through the CBI, economic growth, and success of Iraq. As Iraq prospers, so will the dinar! Though we may not see the dinar exchange rate improve initially. This is a significant change in monetary policy for the Central Bank of Iraq. Some 20 years in the waiting.

You know where they are from.

They're just going to talk about it. It's not until the value of the Iraq dinar is released and the lower notes and lifting of the three zeros, that's when they'll join the WTO...
Why do they want a sanctioned rate? ..
.They don't. They know exactly what they're doing.
