Strong Economy, Strong Dinar: Insights from Economist Al-Badrani

Germany: Iraq is witnessing progress towards economic stability, 19 SEPT

 Economy News – Baghdad

The director of the offices of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in Iraq, Christopher Flocter, confirmed on Thursday that Iraq is progressing well towards economic stability, stressing the importance of modernizing tax laws in Iraq.

“Iraq is making good progress towards stability, as economic stability is an essential part of this progress,” Flocter said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and seen by “Economy News.”

“There are many new sectors that have emerged in Iraq, such as transport, the transition to the electronic economy, renewable energy, and other fields that did not exist twenty years ago,” Flocter explained.

He stressed that “this development requires the updating of tax laws, as tax instructions or laws that have passed twenty or thirty years cannot be applied.”

He pointed out that “the existence of stable institutions is part of stability, which is what the German agency is working to support through joint cooperation between experts from the Iraqi government and experts from the German government.”

“The German government is proud of this achievement, and its happiness with partnership and mutual trust with the Iraqi government,” Flucter said.

    LATEST FROM BRUCE : CONTRACT RATE FOR THE IQD IS EXTREMELY HIGH AND TIED TO THE SAME RATE THAT IRAQ SELL A BARREL OF OIL, 14 SEPT

      Bruce  

     [via WiserNow]  ...contract rate for the Iraqi dinar, I've told you, is extremely high and is tied to and is the same as the rate that Iraq is selling a barrel of oil for to other countries like Egypt, like Turkey, etc. wherever else they’re selling it - 

     So it's a very good rate.  Of course, it's always subject to change, and their selling price of a barrel of oil might vary.   Okay - That's great news, and...from my understanding is they will offer us who have Iraqi Dinar - the contract rate for the Dinar..

     “The Dinar is trading on the Forex, but the rate is not exchanging yet. My sources say R&R payments will be paid the first ten days of September.

     The amounts will be shown in our new accounts on the Quantum Financial System when we go in to redeem. 

    Bond Holders can already see their money in their accounts, but they do not have access to it yet. My sources say that the days of Sept. 6, 7 and 8 will be important dates for us.”
