SocietyIraqKurdistan RegionBaghdadBreakingNew Year’s Celebrations
Shafaq News / Iraqis entered 2024, amid celebrations and fireworks launch in several cities, including the capital Baghdad, and the cities of the Kurdistan Region.
The Iraqi authorities have taken proactive measures in anticipation of any emergency, as well as issuing warning wills and guidance to prevent the recurrence of dozens of injuries and fires similar to those in previous years.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudi directed the concerned authorities to open the celebrations square on the Karkh side of the capital Baghdad, in front of the movement of citizens, and to keep the gates of the Green Zone open after midnight on New Year’s Eve, on Sunday and Monday this week, on the occasion of the new year.
Baghdad and the rest of the provinces celebrate Christmas every year by roaming the streets in festive clothes, and the red “Santa Claus” hats on their heads, releasing the moment the new year begins, fire crackers that light up the sky and streets of the city.

"RV UPDATE" BY WALKINGSTICK, 1 JAN

1310 is actually a really good rate right now because it's good to keep control of the IQD exchange rate. By keeping it at 1310 until they're ready to pull the trigger, there's no profiteering. There's no reason to steal a dinar. As the CBI maintains the exchange rate value of the IQD it is affecting the rate of the USD verses IQD...The CBI is controlling the dinar...
Question: "Where is the new exchange rate?" You don't see it yet but they are telling you directly what you are about to see. They are in the process of making the new exchange rate public...This is the monetary reform education at its best. They are telling the Iraqi citizens while you investors listen.

The blackmarket rate verse the official rate is off by only 10%. They have made great strides with the monetary reform. It has been accomplished. It is done. It is in position to be freed up.
Remember Iraq is still under the umbrella of the IMF. They may not be under sanctions but they are under the umbrella/protection of the IMF. These were the meetings that were taking place in New York, then Dubai and then in Baghdad. Remember the two things the IMF said - The Iraqi dinar is adding value and they are very undervalued with their exchange rate.
They are telling the citizens in the middle of January the IQD exchange rate will finally match the official exchange rate of the CBI. What is the official exchange rate of the CBI high now? 1310. Do you think it will stay at 1310? No. No matter what the CBI exchange rate is in the middle of January the CBI is saying the market rate and the official exchange rate of the CBI will be the same. So it could be an RI rate. Or it could be at 1310...It really doesn't matter what the rate is. As long as they are the same...

Iraq is going to be interconnecting with international countries and they're going to be doing it by International standards and guess what they're not going to be doing that with a 1310 program, or I call it, a punishment rate...
The facts are in the pudding. Anybody that says it's never going to happen has not done any study...When people do that I think it's reckless and I don't think they've done their research properly...
There's more to the story...It's not their job to tell you specifically we're going to do this, this, this and that tomorrow. They're not going to do that. But we're going to watch and see...
Anybody that's not thinking this is ever going to happen, it has absolutely been in track. The UN is having what they called...the fast track...Nobody's going to take the Iraqi dinar seriously at 1310...The UN assembly...talked about how Iraq's going to be a savior for the global financial system. If they're going to be such a savior...how is it that 1310 hasn't worked so far?
