In this video we will examine currencies that may increase in value in the near future based on Wall Street's perspective versus how everyday people determine profit potential.

The russian ruble has lost 27% this year and the turkish lira is down 52%, according to Reuters.

Only a few asian currencies such as the indian rupee, thai baht and south korean won are expected to recoup the losses by late 2024.

So if you are looking for short term profits, you may want to research Indias currency, the rupee moving across the pond to Latin Americas currencies, the brazilian real and mexican peso gained around 8% and 11% in 2024, respectively.

The mexican peso is expected to lose around 4.5%, while the brazilian real is predicted to lose just over 2% in twelve months.

Now let's talk about another way investors are gaining perspective on potential currency profits.

There is a major shift in Americans, Canadians and european retirees moving to certain destinations around the world.

Sandy, the publisher of this channel, is part of that group and has recently spent time in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Colombia as a retiree.

She is now in Brazil, a country that is a founding member of BRICS.

More on that in an upcoming video.

Sandy recommends taking a look at the colombian pesos for its profit potential.

Because Americans, Europeans and Canadians arrive at the Bogota International Airport and stay in Colombia for 30 to 90 days at a time.

The Internet is fast, the city is clean, the people are accommodating, and it is a positive experience.

When you go to the grocery store.

Plus, a luxury condo overlooking the city or the mountains will set you back no more than $500 to $700.

That includes 24/7 security staff.

Sandy reports that her rent was $525 for one month overlooking the city in downtown Bogota.

These factors draw people to a destination.

When more people arrive, rents go up, the value of the currency increases.

This pattern has been repeated in Mexico, parts of Costa Rica, the Bahamas and other destinations with a high quality of life.

Sandy personally knows ex pats who earned substantial profits from the USD Mex swings.

Of course, if the country does something not in the best interest of the United States or the us citizens living there, that government often finds itself on the US State Department's travel warning list.

And if things are not returned to what they deem normal, the country's currency often decreases in value.

Now, returning to the pages of the Wall Street Journal and famous economists, they will quickly tell you that currency reserve inflation, political stability, interest rates.

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Legal Document Detailing Corruption Files in Previous Iraqi Governments, 4 SEPT

 Legal Document Detailing Corruption Files in Previous Iraqi Governments

In 2024, Iraq's government under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is grappling with the legacy of corruption that has plagued the country for decades, following years of armed conflict and political instability. 1

Corruption in Iraq: A Historical Perspective

Corruption has been a persistent issue in Iraq, deeply impacting various aspects of governance and public life. The country's complex political landscape, coupled with high oil revenues and weak institutional frameworks, has created an environment where corruption thrives. 4

The Theft of the Century

One of the most notorious cases of corruption in recent years involved a staggering $2.5 billion embezzlement scandal, often referred to as "the theft of the century." This case highlighted the brazenness and scale of corruption in Iraq, involving politicians, Ministry of Finance officials, bank clerks, and businessmen. 4

Systemized Corruption

Corruption in Iraq is not merely a series of isolated incidents but a systemic issue. The political elite have been accused of devising, managing, and protecting corrupt practices, using their positions to divide power and resources among themselves.  4

International Aid and Corruption

The issue of corruption extends to international aid projects, with allegations that UNDP staff involved in post-war reconstruction projects in Iraq have demanded bribes in return for helping businessmen win contracts. 5 This has undermined efforts to rebuild the country's infrastructure and services.

Legal Mechanisms and Accountability

Iraq's judicial system has been criticized for corruption and political interference, presenting high risks for businesses and undermining the rule of law. 6 However, the government has made some efforts to address corruption, appointing new judges and launching investigations into several cases involving high-ranking officials. 6

Special Commercial Courts

Iraq has established special commercial courts in Baghdad, Najaf, and Basrah for disputes involving foreign investors, aiming to improve the efficiency of commercial cases.  6 However, the enforcement of contracts remains problematic due to unclear regulations and corruption. 6

Current Government's Agenda

Prime Minister al-Sudani's government has centered its agenda on combatting corruption as a priority, alongside addressing unemployment, poverty, economic reform, and improving government services. 1 Despite these efforts, significant challenges remain in implementing structural reforms and addressing the grievances of Iraqi citizens. 1

Conclusion

The legal document detailing corruption files in previous Iraqi governments is a testament to the pervasive nature of corruption in the country. As of 2024, the government under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is working to address this issue, but significant work remains to restore public trust, strengthen institutions, and ensure accountability.

September 2, 2024  Baghdad/Iraq Observer  Followers commented on the government’s efforts to fight corruption by saying:
 
“This is credited to the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, which has shown a significant decline in corruption operations and in various official sectors, while they indicated that
 
those who work to distract it from its national approach confirm that it is from the opposite side of some of the parties that were attacked.” Its interests, which have no balance due to it.  They said:
 
“The campaigns aimed at arousing public opinion and obstructing the state’s work in various fields mean that there are those who insist on backwardness and barbarism,” while
 
they commented on the inaccurate information that was provided to divert the investigation from its correct path, and that
 
direct accusation of the government regarding issues that are now subject to judicial review.
 
“It confirms once again that they have been banned and may be involved in corruption cases.”

And you have life in retaliation
 
In turn, legal researcher Ali Al-Tamimi confirmed:  
“The Sudanese President’s opening of an investigation into the raised cases of corruption, eavesdropping, fraud and fraud in previous sessions is a legal procedure in accordance with Article 17 of the State Employees Discipline Law and also Articles 15 and 16 of the Cabinet Regulations 2 of 2019.”

 Al-Tamimi told the  “Iraq Observer” agency that what the committee decides is what is binding either on referring the accused to the judiciary and everyone whose name appears in the investigations or making administrative decisions regarding withdrawal and residency, and
 
this approach is what the Sudanese government clearly confirmed in the ministerial curriculum.  The legal expert explained:
 
“The major campaign launched by the Integrity and Crime Follow-up Commission in accordance with the principle that no one is above the law, including those accused of special degrees, whatever they may be, is an approach that is consistent with the goals of criminal punishment that aim to deter and achieve social justice.
 
It is also consistent with the philosophy of criminal law that It aims to prevent the commission of crimes in the future, according to the principle of cleaning the ladder from top to bottom.  According to Al-Tamimi:
 
 “This campaign needs to be implemented retroactively, especially since these crimes are not subject to statute of limitations or the passage of time, and
 
they relate to public funds in accordance with Article 27 of the Iraqi Constitution, and it follows an internal and external line in terms of recovering the accused and the funds.”
 
The legal expert pointed out that this needs to be accompanied by a media and awareness campaign about the seriousness of these crimes and their harsh punishments according to Iraqi laws. Also,
 
we should not forget the role of clerics and schools and we suggest that these crimes be taught in schools and colleges, to work according to a future strategy.  He stated:
 
 “The Integrity Commission also dared us with another principle, which is money before the accused, and it also helped in recovering the looted money internally and externally.

Saleh told Euphrates news that the phenomenon of the increase in sales of foreign transfers from foreign exchange is due to the results of the important change that took place in the policy of the central bank of Iraq in dealing with foreign transfer and interfering in the monetary market through the shift in foreign trade financing mechanisms for the private sector from a compliance platform to new mechanisms represented in strengthening the accounts of correspondence of iraqi banks abroad with foreign exchange at deliberate and sufficient levels commensurate with the requirements of financing foreign trade for the private sector of foreign exchange.

He added, after the compliance platform previously refused, during the past months about 85% of external transfer requests, the policy of strengthening the accounts of iraqi banks with their correspondence from sober international banks became as an alternative policy which is easy, easy and flexible, which made the implementation of daily external transfer requests available and achieved through foreign correspondent banks directly without passing through the platform and with a high percentage of 85% of the total demand for those daily external transfers.

Saleh this high change in the flexibility of transfers has reflected positively on the national economy, especially in the stability of the total supply and demand functions within the national economy in two directions, the first of which is supply side, represented by the availability of a wide commodity and service supply in the local market through flexible imports funded at the fixed official exchange rate of 1320 dinars per dollar, he explained.

The other trend is the demand side, which refers to the process of exchanging the iraqi dinar to dollars for the purposes of financing foreign trade through the aforementioned transfers, which means that meeting the demand for the dollar represents a direct meeting of the demand for foreign goods, services and benefits for the benefit of the local market.

He pointed out that meeting the demand for foreign currency is an important pillar of the monetary policy of the central bank of Iraq and achieving its operational objectives in addressing and controlling the excess domestic liquidity levels of the dinar, which constitutes the so called oversaymon.

This control of local liquidity also represents a positive.

Iraq's Corruption Crisis: Political Protection Unveiled

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Corruption in Iraq: The Complex Issue of Political Protection, 3 SEPT

 Corruption in Iraq: The Complex Issue of Political Protection

Corruption in Iraq is a pervasive issue that has long hindered the country's development and stability. As of September 3, 2024, the problem remains deeply entrenched, with political protection serving as a significant barrier to holding the corrupt accountable. 2

Iraq's Struggle with Corruption

Iraq has been grappling with corruption for decades. Despite some progress in key areas such as combatting corruption, addressing unemployment, and improving public services under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's administration. 2 the issue remains a major stumbling block in the country's efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.

Political Protection: A Shield for the Corrupt

One of the most significant challenges in addressing corruption in Iraq is the phenomenon of political protection. This refers to the shielding of corrupt individuals from legal consequences by those in power. 2 Members of parliamentary blocs have expressed their frustration, stating that they can identify the corrupt but are unable to hold them accountable due to the political protection they receive.  2

Impact on Governance and Society

The issue of corruption, compounded by political protection, has far-reaching consequences for Iraq. It undermines public trust in government institutions, erodes the rule of law, and exacerbates social and economic inequalities. 2 This, in turn, fuels further unrest and instability, as seen through the ongoing protests and social unrest. 2

Efforts to Combat Corruption

Despite the challenges, there have been concerted efforts to combat corruption in Iraq. Prime Minister al-Sudani has made it a central part of his agenda, aiming to address the issue through structural reforms and anti-corruption measures. 2However, progress has been slow, and significant obstacles remain in the form of entrenched political interests and the lack of political will to fully address the problem.  2

The Role of International Community

The international community has also played a role in supporting Iraq's efforts to combat corruption. Assistance in the form of technical expertise, capacity building, and financial aid has been provided to strengthen institutions and promote transparency. 2 However, the effectiveness of these efforts is limited by the persistence of political protection and the broader political climate in Iraq. 2

The Way Forward

Addressing corruption in Iraq requires a multifaceted approach that tackles the issue at its roots. This includes strengthening legal frameworks, improving the capacity of law enforcement agencies, promoting transparency and accountability, and fostering a culture of integrity among public officials. 2 Most importantly, it necessitates the political will to hold the corrupt accountable, even when it involves powerful individuals or political allies. 2
