Member” Good Morning Mark, Mods and fellow RV’ers……RV there yet????

Member: Happy Liberation Day (I think...not feeling as liberated as I would with an RI of my Dinar...just sayin')

Member: Today, April 2 is Liberation Day. (Trump Declared) and it commemorates the Coinage Act of April 2, 1792 when the dollar was attached to gold/silver. Today is supposed to be golden . A special day of prosperity. 

MZ: Specifically it was attached to a Spanish silver ounce.

Member: Maybe President Trump will announce at least the intention to go back on the gold standard if not do it outright?

Member:  Fairly certain that today will mostly be a nothing burger, folks have built this date up way too much as always. Hope I’m wrong !

MZ: Keep in mind that today is an important day. They have to fix all the problems before they can reset. Fixing everything is important otherwise we would just rehypothicate or hand money to the rats and nothing would change. They are fixing taxes, tariffs, DOGE stuff….it is all very important and necessary steps before the reset. . 

Member: I wish everybody would stop beating around the bush and just tell us the truth …actual truth instead of thousand excuses

Member: Wouldn’t that be wonderful …

Member: Why so much disinformation….Why so much secrecy? I don’t get it

MZ: To me it makes sense why they do it. They do it on purpose- they have to cloud the timing. If everybody knew when it would happen…big investors will flood the markets with billions investing in dinar ect and upset everything. But it sucks though. 

Member: Rumors floating around are that the RV is today and banks are exchanging.. How do they keep getting away with saying this stuff?

MZ: Yes a lot of them are saying that. Others are saying lower denominations are out. My contacts on the streets in Iraq are saying they wish that was a fact…but they don’t have any and they can’t find any. Let’s hope those folks are right about RV today. I would love to be wrong. 

Member: One of my patients that is a bank manager said to hold onto currency of wealthy countries because he said something could change soon. He said this last week to me. 

Member: I also wanted to mention that I talked with a patient yesterday that’s from Venezuela. He told me that the Bolivar has gone digital and they have dropped the zeroes and renominated.

Member: I wonder what happened to the bondholders that were given money to travel???

MZ: I have one that was given money to travel…..he traveled and now he is not talking. I know a couple more that were asked for their banking info so they could be sent travel money. They are still waiting for that money to be sent to them. They were told to be prepared to go at any moment. Once they receive their money they will have 2 days to get to their appointments. 

 MZ: I do have a bond contact say there are scheduled bond meetings with bond holders (Not bond facilitators) this evening. The first meeting is in Europe. I have not heard a peep from bond holders in Reno. It seems like all the bond movement is overseas right now…not domestic. There has been movement in Asian and European markets. 

MZ: Reno is the biggest information leak on the planet. I expect to see no movement out of Reno. If I were handling exchanges there…they would be the last people to go ….imo. 

Member: Will the bolivar be in the first basket?

MZ: We don’t know for sure…but many people believe it will be. 

Member: if a person has only Zim and bolivar….and the bolivar is not in the first basket…would they have two bank appointments? One to exchange Zim and a later one to exchange Bolivar?

MZ: Yes. Appointments could be a year a part…or 2 months? We don’t know yet. 

MZ: “Government talk about Iraq’s foreign reserves at their highest level”  Their foreign reserves are at the highest levels ever. They are telling us how stable and secure they are. 

MZ: “Final Budget return to the fore as Parliament awaits the arrival of the 2025 budget schedules” There is a mechanism in it that if they do not get this thing passed soon it defaults to the last paid budget. Meaning they can’t add any new projects but will allow the continuation of existing things while the adopt the previous years budget with the existing spending numbers…... 

Member: Keeping stalling the RV would not be good for Sundani reelection if it doesn't pass it. so I think they need to push it through asap!!

Member: I saw Trumps press secretary saying that he was considering exchange rate as part of the financial recovery. No specific countries were mentioned

Member: Yes…Caroline Levitt mentioned Trump was considering currency exchange rates in the recovery! No specific countries mentioned

Member: I stopped at Chase bank yesterday! There was a lot of people waiting for wealth advisors

Member: I wonder if there is any movement in Dubai, d1 and d2?

Member: I wish we knew what to expect when we go in to exchange???

Member: Folks, imo there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Hand over currency… watch machine count…. Sign papers…. Rich.

Member: Passover starts on the 13th. Hopefully, we see movement on RV! Easter is April 20th

Member: Maybe they are waiting for the St. Germaine trust to open on Easter?

Member: Thank you for keeping us all sane Mark, Really appreciate you and your team.

Member: Prayers for all of those suffering are those that have lost precious loved ones.

Bank screens are showing the new rates going up in value: IQD: $5.23 VND: $3.89 on Wed #iqd #iraq

 

AL-SUDANI: RESTRICTIONS ARE USEFUL, AND I ASKED THE AMERICANS ABOUT THEIR SILENCE ON THE DOLLAR CHAOS BEFORE ME!, 3 APRIL

 AL-SUDANI: RESTRICTIONS ARE USEFUL, AND I ASKED THE AMERICANS ABOUT THEIR SILENCE ON THE DOLLAR CHAOS BEFORE ME!

Answered about selling 300 million daily

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani asserted that US sanctions were the best way to eliminate “rogue shops” and that the punitive measures imposed on Iraqi banks were a result of the previous government’s failure to fulfill its commitments to the US.

He also said that the Treasury described the progress in reforming the banking system as “the revolution we dreamed of.” During a lengthy interview, al-Sudani justified the increase in the Central Bank’s dollar sales by the acceleration of construction activity and the import of building materials. He also promised to launch a reform plan to correct the banking sector, which is “the most important in Iraq’s history.”

Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, during an interview with journalist Samer Jawad:

There is an exaggeration of the problems facing Iraq, even though countries face many similar challenges, even on the security level. During the ISIS crisis, they said that Iraq was finished, and on the economic level, they said that the economy was finished, but things later proceeded normally.

After assuming the premiership, I faced the issue of the agreements between the previous government, the Treasury, and the US Federal Reserve, which were two years old at the time, regarding a roadmap for Iraq to enter the global financial compliance circle. However, the previous government did not implement any of them, and the deadline expired at the beginning of my government.

My government was able to transform the challenge and commitment to the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve into an opportunity to reform the Iraqi financial and banking system. This came at a social and political cost, which our opponents exploited. However, we leveraged the issue to end the anomalous situation of dollar-selling shops, which we all complained about, and we were able to implement the imposed obligations.

The sanctioned banks were sanctioned for violations committed during the previous government’s term. The sanctions imposed by international institutions were related to that period, but there are no violations in this regard now.

We have been able to implement the standards, and now the Iraqi banking system operates transparently, in accordance with international compliance standards and certified by international institutions. During my last visit to New York, the US Treasury representative informed us that Iraq has achieved a revolution we had dreamed of in previous periods. International compliance standards have been applied to all Iraqi financial transfers, via correspondent banks and the US audit firm. Not a single dollar is spent without passing through these bodies.

The only cash dollars exchanged are for travelers, and are spent at the plane door. Therefore, not a single dollar is exchanged outside of improper transactions and procedures. The Central Bank’s increased dollar sales have a different interpretation related to construction and development in the country, unlike what used to happen in the days when the process was conducted through receipts and chaos. Thirty percent of the value of our annual imports goes to construction materials, and this reflects the scale of construction and development.

The Iraqi banking system has reached such a level of reliability that international banks have begun opening credit lines here. We have contracted with Oliver Wyman to reform the private banking system, and we will launch the reform plan after Eid. It will be the most important plan since the founding of the Iraqi state. The government banking sector will be reformed under the supervision of Ernst & Young.

You might also want to take a peak at these other articles titled:

😊“RAFIDAIN BANK GENERAL MANAGER: FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE FUTURE OF THE BANKING SECTOR IN IRAQ.”

Rafidain Bank’s General Manager, Ali Al-Fatlawi, confirmed that the bank has witnessed a qualitative transformation in recent years, becoming a pillar of the modern Iraqi banking sector through adopting financial technology, enhancing banking inclusion, and adhering to international standards of integrity and compliance.

(Remember all the articles about the digital dinar? This is what they are going to use to transfer funds for imports and exports abroad. No more dollar only SAFE dinars. This is also what will introduce dinars to the international community. They will have to launch FOREX at this time. They will have no choice.)

😊“CENTRAL BANK: WE WILL LAUNCH A MAJOR INITIATIVE TO FINANCE INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS”

The Central Bank of Iraq announced on Sunday its intention to launch a major initiative to finance industrial projects  in cooperation with the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank.

Are you HAPPY yet!

AL-SUDANI: THERE IS NO AMERICAN REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY DISSOLVE THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES, AND IRAQ’S ACCOUNT IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NOT SUBJECT TO GUARDIANSHIP, 3 APRIL

 AL-SUDANI: THERE IS NO AMERICAN REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY DISSOLVE THE POPULAR MOBILIZATION FORCES, AND IRAQ’S ACCOUNT IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NOT SUBJECT TO GUARDIANSHIP.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed that the US Treasury informed him that Iraq’s progress on the dollar issue “represents a revolution we’ve been dreaming of,” announcing the imminent launch of the most important plan to reform the private banking sector in the country’s history.

Al-Sudani said in a press statement that “Iraq’s account with the US Federal Reserve is now under the control of the government and is not subject to Washington’s tutelage.” He explained that he responded to questions about the United States’ silence over the past 20 years by saying, “America wants to verify the final destinations of its dollar, and this is its legitimate right.” He stressed that “there is no American request to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Forces permanently.”

The Prime Minister indicated that his government has no regrets about the one million job positions included in the three-year budget, stressing that this decision stems from the government’s commitment to addressing accumulated structural and social problems.

Regarding the industrial sector, Al-Sudani revealed that products from 54 Iraqi factories are being exported to foreign markets, indicating that this step reflects a significant development in enhancing national production capabilities.

In the energy sector, Al-Sudani announced an increase in electricity production from 19,000 to 27,000 megawatts, stressing that these efforts are part of the government’s strategy to improve services and meet citizens’ needs.

STATUS OF THE RV PART 4 BY MNT GOAT, 3 APRIL

 STATUS OF THE RV PART 4

What else is in the recent news?

A Contradiction:

Let’s take a look at this first news article titled “AL-SUDANI: WE HAVE CONTROLLED THE SALE OF DOLLARS AND ARE WORKING TO REFORM THE BANKING SYSTEM.” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed the government’s control  over dollar sales, and that financial transfers are conducted in accordance with internationally recognized procedures.

Then just a day later this article comes out titled “TALKING ABOUT $2 BILLION MISSING AND A CATASTROPHIC SITUATION, A DEPUTY CONFIRMS THE CONTINUED SMUGGLING OF DOLLARS THROUGH “NEW METHODS.”Parliamentarian and member of the parliamentary economic committee, Sipan Shirwani, confirmed that billions of dollars are lost in government bank accounts, pointing to “a new way to smuggle US currency to sanctioned countries.” 

Does this seem strange to anyone that these two articles can contradict each other so much. So which is it? Does Iraq really have control over the dollar?

_____________________________

Then finally the major news of this period…

I always say to just let time pass and the pieces to the puzzle for the Iraqi RV saga will come to light and so this past weekend this picture is becoming clearer and clearer as we just learned more. Let’s review this now. 

Let’s all first take peek in to the article titled “RAFIDAIN BANK CEO: THE BANK IS AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE WITH GREATER INFLUENCE ON THE IRAQI FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE.” What is it telling us? This was not the first article on this subject matter of banking reforms for Rafidain Bank. However, there is news of the new “First Rafidain Bank” and this bank I believe is going to handle the bulk of money from investors for the “Development Road” project. If we connect the dots, we can now more clearly see what they are doing. The CBI is setting in motion the process to protect and safeguard investor’s money from the corruption schemes of money laundering. This is why the entirely new bank (First Rafidain Bank). The digital dinar is going to play a pivotal role in this transformation of the banking sector along with the “First Rafidain Bank Heck we just read today that billions had been money laundered through new creative ways. So, this is why I believe the digital dinar is so important. I had to give the investors a reassurance of their funds in Iraqi banks.

I quote from the article “Rafidain Bank General Manager Ali Al-Fatlawi announced that “the bank is at the beginning of a new phase, one that is more advanced and influential in the Iraqi financial landscape.”
