"IT IS VERY CLOSE" BY FRANK26, 1 SEPT

 Frank26   

I pray that this dream will come true for the both of us. 

 It is very close.

  There's no doubt about it. 

 All the indications are pointing that it's very close.  I just hope we get some good news when Alaq [returns from] New York...

Frank26 

 The new lower notes and the new exchange rate will revolutionize the whole Middle East, let alone the whole world...The monetary reform is the linchpin.  It's the trigger.  It's the button that will be pushed to change financial structures around the world...We investors of the dinar have a backup for a backup in order to survive this global financial change... 

Frank26 

 Article:  "Iraq and America to resume negotiations on the banking sector next Monday" 

 ALAQ'S VISIT IS ON IRAQI BANKS... IRAQI BANKS ONLY CARE ABOUT A NEW EXCHANGE RATE.

Frank26 

  I don't care about the WTO and HCL because it only waits for one thing, the new exchange rate.  The only mechanism that everyone is waiting for is the new exchange rate.  

That is the simple fact.  This fact is real because Sudani is constantly reinforcing that idea...by constantly coming out on TV and talking to you [Iraqi citizens] about you're going to get purchasing power.

We found out the 3 zero notes are going to coexist with the lower notes for 10 years.

  Do you understand the power behind that?  

That means we're going to be able to participate in not only the float but the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER)

 Frank26 

 The goal is what?  Retrieve those [Three zero notes].  

How

As soon as we raise the value, give them purchasing power, as soon as we drop the 3 zeros, they're going to bring in all that 80 something percent [still in Iraqi mattresses]...The monetary reform plan is brilliant...It is moving at a very fast pace.

DINAR REVALUATION 

ANALYSIS OF WHAT EDDIE TOLD TO FRANK26: 

"Then Saleh talking about oil being sold in dinars instead of dollars." 

 Economist back on tv saying it’s time to drop the zeros."

---It sounds like there's a couple of interesting economic discussions happening in Iraq right now!

  1. Saleh and Oil Sales in Dinars: Saleh's suggestion to sell oil in dinars instead of dollars could be aimed at strengthening the Iraqi dinar and reducing dependence on the US dollar. This move could potentially stabilize the local economy and improve national financial sovereignty. However, it would also require significant adjustments in international trade agreements and currency exchange systems.

  2. Dropping Zeros from the Dinar: The economist's call to drop zeros from the dinar is a common monetary policy strategy known as "currency redenomination." This involves introducing a new unit of currency that is worth a thousand or more times the old unit. It's often done to simplify transactions and improve the currency’s image after periods of high inflation or economic instability. For Iraq, this could be a step towards stabilizing the currency and restoring confidence in its value.

Both of these measures reflect efforts to address economic challenges and enhance the stability of Iraq's financial system. The success of these strategies will depend on how they are implemented and their impact on the broader economy.

SEEMS THAT WE ARE REALLY CLOSE TO OUR DESIRED RV!!!
