The monetary reform education now IMO is not only saying we're lifting the three zeros but they're also now explaining to the citizens the effect from lifting the three zeros of their exchange rate - What will that do to the currency of Iraq.
Whereas before you had scientists, professors, people from the CBI giving lectures and telling them,
'We'll this is my opinion about what might happen...' But now, forget the opinions. Forget the negativity...
Al-Sudani Directs To Equip Border Forces With Modern Weapons And Secure All Their Technical And Security Requirements /Expanded
Thursday 21 November 2024 20:18 | Politics Number of readings: 232 Baghdad / NINA / The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, directed to equip the border forces with modern weapons and secure all their technical and security requirements.
A statement from his office stated that al-Sudani, today, Thursday, visited the headquarters of the Border Forces Command in Baghdad, during which he laid a wreath of flowers on the Martyrs' Mural, and recited Surat Al-Fatihah in memory of the souls of the heroic martyrs of the Border Forces.
Al-Sudani listened to a briefing on the overall activities, tasks and duties of the Border Guard Forces, and the development of the work it witnessed during the past two years, in addition to a detailed explanation of the security situation and the progress of implementing the plans prepared to combat the remnants of the terrorist ISIS, combat organized crime and drug gangs, and confront security challenges.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces stressed that the technical and administrative work of the Border Forces, the occupancy of police stations, and the installation of towers, cameras and barriers have reached their best levels compared to previous years, and is considered a distinction in the face of security challenges of all kinds.
Al-Sudani explained that the Council of Ministers, through its various decisions, provided all the requirements for maintaining and securing the borders, especially in light of the complex regional security conditions, the repercussions of the continued Zionist aggression on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, and its efforts to expand the aggression in the region, which represents the most important sources of danger threatening Iraq's security and stability.
Al-Sudani directed the officers and commanders to take care of the affairs of the recruits and follow up on their requirements, establish justice in the distribution of duties, and the importance of adopting the continuous rotation process in the forces and units, to maintain the implementation of tasks in the best possible way.
He also directed the competent authorities to work on providing the border forces with modern weapons and continue working to ensure the security of all borders, combat drugs and cross-border crime, and all forms of violations that harm the security and sovereignty of Iraq. / End 9. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=1170344

Article: "IMF: Arab country confirms commitment to flexible exchange rate" Quote: "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission that visited Egypt announced that the Central Bank has confirmed its commitment to maintaining a flexible exchange rate regime, in order to protect the Egyptian economy from external shocks."
...Flexible exchange rate...is one that is determined by market forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market.
The IMF suggesting shocks to come is likely a heads up that change is coming. Let's hope that change to come is for Iraq's exchange rate...
Iraq positioned for key role in resolving regional issues, former PM says
Iraq has a “pivotal” role in the region and must not be seen solely through the lens of Iranian-US tension, a former prime minister of Iraq said.
Dr Haider Al Abadi, whose four-year term from September 2014 was marked by the US-led war to end ISIS’ invasion of Iraq, said the country now faced an “important historical moment” as it risked being drawn into war with Israel.
Iraq’s fate will be guided by the incoming US government’s new foreign policy, and Iraq’s own upcoming elections next year, Dr Al Abadi said. But the US and other international allies had a duty to continue supporting Iraq’s institutions and security.
“It is wrong to deal with Iraq as a marginal country, and it is also wrong, and a sin, to structurally link Iraq to thorny regional issues such as the Iranian issue or the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” he said, speaking at the Iraq Initiative conference at Chatham House, the London-based international affairs think tank on Wednesday.
“Or to leave Iraq without rehabilitation, support and protection in the midst of a complex and explosive region. I believe that resolving many regional issues will depend on the nature of dealing with the Iraqi experience,” Dr Al Abadi said.
Leaked reports suggest that the Israeli military was preparing an imminent attack against Iraq, unless the Iraqi government took action against Iran-backed Shiite militias operating within its territory. The US has said it was doing everything it could to dissuade Israel from attacking Iraq, but was running out of leverage, according to the leaked reports.
Dr Al Abadi helped consolidate the militias’ control across Iraq during his four year premiership from 2014, when he included them in the US-led fight against IS. But on Thursday, he appeared to suggest that these militias should cede power to the Iraqi government. “The state must have control over the arms inside the country,” he said.
He described Iraq as a “pivotal” country in the Middle East, and a crossroads for Arab, Turkish and Persian cultures. “Our duty is geopolitical and geosocietal … linking three nations,” he said.
