Articles in Iraq are saying they have completed everything for the ascension into the WTO…and they are in the final stages right now. From the press in Saudi Arabia we have been told Iraq has definitely finished everything necessary for their World Trade organization ascension.
They have done all the work shops etc…and now many believe they are doing the final steps right now.
Its kind of wild that we have not heard anything for awhile...and now they seem to be in a “mad dash” to get it done.
Central Bank: Visa And Mastercard Card Issue Abroad To Be Resolved Next Month
Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq Banks Economy News – Baghdad Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month.
Al-Alaq said in press statements, followed by "Al-Eqtisad News," that "the Central Bank has completed the two tasks related to cash sales and foreign transfers, but the card crisis witnessed a state of "misunderstanding."
He explained, "When we headed to organize this process, it required a set of procedures that must be worked on, so that we put it in its correct direction and according to acceptable standards, and therefore there were some stops and some changes in the paths."
Al-Alaq said, "An agreement was reached with all concerned parties - which include "Visa" and "MasterCard" in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company - on "the formulas and paths for settling these cards," stressing that "the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1."
Al-Alaq revealed that "work has begun on developing a plan to issue cards to small merchants, after completing consultations with companies," "to accommodate the requests of merchants—a large segment of Iraqis—to cover their foreign trade without passing through long routes, so that transfers can be made directly, which will create a major shift in accommodating merchants who do not use formal transfer methods."
Al-Alaq indicated that "the Central Bank, in agreement and consultation with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, has completed the organization of cash sales of dollars, and is now 'in an ideal position, by their own testimony.'" He described foreign commercial transfers as "progressing very smoothly, as we have expanded the network of correspondent banks abroad in the US and elsewhere.
An agreement has also been reached to open another bank in the US to establish relationships with Iraqi banks in transfer operations." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54852

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
FIREFLY: Kuwait is now here in Iraq. We know their rate is around $3.30 so why would we be doing deals with Kuwait at a program rate of 1310? Mr Sammy says... there has to be at least bottom numbers or a range of what the rate will be for all these companies and countries here signing deals.
FRANK: IMO all these companies coming into Iraq have a memo of understanding but not signed contracts, which is a big indication that we're still waiting for the new exchange rate...Kuwait...is another indication that the world knows the truth about the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar...Everyone is preparing for it IMO
