You may ask why I do this summary? BY MNT GOAT, 23 OCT

 You may ask why I do this summary?

I do this summary not because of my health or that I need it. I do it to help all of you to truly understand the progress in Iraq in these reforms. 

This is not intel guru bullshit talk but FACTUAL progress leading us to the RV we all want. We all ask at some point why it has been taking so long. Now you can see for yourselves why. Don’t you get sick and tired of these every day /any day RV bullshitters? 

Yes, when it doesn’t happen, they always have an “excuse” that something new held it up. Held it up? I don’t think so. When it is time, it will be on FOREX and with the kind of rate we all anticipate. Today the IQD rate in the Quantum Financial System (QFS) is $3.96. 

When they decide to allow the IQD back on the exchanges, the rate will be mapped over to the exchanges from the QFS. There is also a series of other currencies that are also expected to be mapped over to. 

Don’t ask me what they are as I am not going to play that game. Currencies revalue and devalue ever day. That is the nature of the currency exchanges. Get it?

Remember QFS has been in beta mode testing since 2012, when it was slotted by the IMF to be first mapped over in early January 2013 but was held up due the Obama administration, that redefined the reform plans and requirements for Iraq first, 

thus halting the process that was underway by Dr Shabibi for the reinstatement at that time. It never even occurs to these intel guru idiots that maybe, yes quite possibly, there may be something else holding up the RV besides these ridiculous excuses they give. Oh…. gee whiz …..maybe it’s the needed reforms! ☹

We must remember that the RV is not an event by itself that will just happen someday but it is a byproduct of the reforms.

 It can not happen without the reforms and one of the reforms (besides all the banking, insurance and stock market reforms) is the currency reform. 

The Project to Delete the Zeros will begin the final stage. 

The reason why they do not list this currency reform on the diagram in the White Paper, as one of the reforms in the Pillar of Financial Reforms, is that it is a byproduct of the other reforms. Get it?

 In other words, if these strategies are completed the likelihood of seeing the IQD on FOREX again is extremely high. I believe it is inevitable. 

There is one article of many I have selected from my upcoming next Thursday Newsletter 10/24 that I wanted to bring today. It is a very nice summary of why we are still waiting so long for the RV. 

It summarizes the strategies of the CBI and why the hold up. It is their words not mine. I only bring the FACTS and TRUTH. I hope you can take a few minutes read through it and learn exactly what is going on in Iraq. Then go through my summary list of items for October progress. Can you see it now? All I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! 😊

STATUS OF THE RV BY MNT GOAT , 23 OCT

STATUS OF THE RV

If you remember a couple months ago, at just about this timeframe, the Iraqi economist Yasser Al-Mutawali asked the question to the Finance Ministry and to the general public – “Is It Time To Remove The Zeros” ?

So, another month has passed and we still didn’t see this project executed. But should we? We have been since told by my CBI contact on the committee that we should expect to see the ramped-up Project to Delete the Zeros sometime soon after the U.S. election period is over sometime in November. This period of time through December will begin the process for the swap out with the newer lower denominations. To me this also means about a 1:1 at par rate of the IQD with the US dollar. But remember this is IN-COUNTRY only. Also remember these actions ALWAYS have dependencies. Nothing is a guarantee! I want to make this VERY CLEAR to you today.

So what did we learn October about the Project to Delete the Zeros? We learned that the media is constantly broadcasting commercials about how the swap out will work. I even should you a couple of these videos. Remember?

Then the news media from Iraq tells us about the “cash center” that recently opened in Karkh. It is used solely for the intake of the three zero dinar notes or dollars. Folks they are already sucking in the three zero notes. What more do you want? It’s mid-October already just 14 days to the US elections. With the electronic banking and the reorganization of the banks, the citizens seem to have regained confidence in their banking system.

The reason why they had to open this new cash only center, according to my CBI contact, is that there was a huge response to ditch these three zero notes before they may become obsoleted and the lower notes replace them. Citizens remember what happened in 2004, when they had to turn in their Saddam Hussien notes by a deadline. Many people got stuck with these notes, as they forgot or did not trust the banks. They lost millions when the deadline came and they were obsoleted/voided. The CBI has not yet announced a deadline but still the citizens remember what happened back 20 years ago. So in reality, unofficially, the process of deleting the zeros has already begun. Yes, it is underway according to my CBI contact.

Just so you know, this is all not just some stupid, silly guru intel talk.   

Once again, the Project to Delete the Zeros raises its head up in many new articles in October too. But why is this? Is it close at hand?  But also remember the past. I know from experience from many of my conversations with my CBI contact that they pivot on goals, set them and then move in that direction. Often, they underestimate the timeframes needed to get there. They have to get there first and hope for the best.

So today is the third week of the month and as usual I want to give a short summary of the progress of Iraq has made this period.  I also like to call them benchmarks, accomplishments or maybe even a recap. What are these major accomplishments we should have paid attention to? Did you read the articles and listen to my Newsletters this month so far?  If you missed any you can still read them here in the archive LINK. It’s not too late.

So, let me now list them and summarize them for you below. But first I have presented a very current article below from the CBI information on the strategies they have developed and have been using for these reforms. Do not take this article lightly. It is jam packed with information. Yes, there are strategic plans to get them where they want to go.

Counterfeiting currency in Iraq.. Is the responsibility of the Central Bank or the government?

 

10/19/2024

 

 Baghdad

Financial and economic expert Alaa Al-Fahd revealed, today, Saturday (October 19, 2024), the authorities responsible for protecting the Iraqi currency from counterfeiting and its spread in the markets.

Al-Fahd told Baghdad Today, “The mission of the Central Bank of Iraq is to issue currency and maintain monetary policy and coordination in this field. As for the issue of counterfeit currency, this is the responsibility of the specialized executive government agencies. The bank's goal when it issues its currency is to work on finding ways to protect this currency from counterfeiting, and this matter exists in all countries of the world.”

He added that "the issue of gangs and currency counterfeiting mafias is not within the tasks and duties of the Central Bank to confront, even the issue of currency smuggling is not within the Bank's tasks," indicating that "these issues are the responsibility of the specialized executive government agencies, including the security agencies, and for this reason the Central Bank of Iraq always works to coordinate with those government agencies in order to preserve the Iraqi economy and currency.”
The expert confirmed that "even the dollar is a counterfeit currency, not only in Iraq but in most countries of the world, and this is not the responsibility of the Central Bank of Iraq, but rather the responsibility of the specialized executive government agencies."
It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Interior announced today, Saturday, the arrest of an international gang in possession of “counterfeit” currencies in Baghdad .

The ministry said in a statement received by "Baghdad Today", "Through activating the intelligence effort and pursuing organized crime gangs, accurate information was provided indicating the presence of a gang in the Sadr City area, east of the capital, Baghdad, that is "counterfeiting currency and distributing it in local markets  ."

 She added, “Judicial approvals were obtained and a working team was formed from the Directorate of Combating Organized Crime in the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency in the Ministry of Interior and moved to Sadr City, where the gang of 8 suspects was lured and arrested, And counterfeit sums of money amounting to 10 million Iraqi dinars in different denominations were seized, in addition to dollar bills in denominations of one hundred dollars and fifty dollars and counterfeit euro bills .”

“Two printers used in counterfeiting operations were also seized, as well as a yellow Renault wheel used in distributing counterfeit currency,” she continued, stressing that “legal measures were taken against the accused, and it was proven through the investigation that there is a person residing outside the country who visits the home of one of the accused from time to time and brings new and modern editions of counterfeit currency, which are distributed in Baghdad and Basra through one of the accused who has a relationship with one of the arrested accused  “
