BGG (Dinar Guru) – […do you find it odd we haven’t seen any statements from the World Economic Conference by Iraqi officials?] I do – I find a lot of things VERY strange lately…so much progress – much like the IBAN being accepted and utilized and we heard about it a week later… anyone notice the CBI has updated their Currency Buy/Sell listing on their website since 1/4?? …very odd (to say the least)…we may have to be digging to find the exact time of any value change – we use to say “just check the CBI”. That’s out the window… …it’s gonna’ happen overnite – we will (hopefully) know quickly, but we might have to dig and verify. IMHO. [Is there any chance that we have already had a value change, but has not been posted on the CBI?] anything is possible – but we have such broad contacts, I just doubt it has. [If we dont look at the CBI for the rate change, where will we find that information?] We’re gonna’ be looking at everything in context… probably some kind of “inter-bank memo” since they in the process of “re-engaging” right now. [can they have a rate and not showing it? How are they doing business other wise?] …the “not showing” part is not a long term thing – we’ll know pretty soon. No matter what.

10.2% growth rate over the Iraqi economy in 2016
Baghdad / term – The World Bank declared that Iraq’s economy has achieved a growth of 10.2% over the past year because of the large increase oil production, and expected that the Iraqi economy will grow this year by 1.1%.
The bank said in its annual report on growth in the Middle East and seen by the “long” “The estimates show that the growth rate in the Middle East and North Africa fell to 2.7% in 2016 due to the fiscal consolidation in some countries, constraints and restrictions on the measures oil production in other countries. ”
The World Bank said that “the growth rate declined sharply in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to 1.6% with the extension of the effects of the weakness of the oil sector to the non-oil sectors,” explaining that “growth has accelerated in Iran to 4.6% and in Iraq, to 10.2% thanks to big increases in production oil, and in Iran thanks to the recovery of the agriculture sector, and car production, trade, and transportation. ”
He noted the World Bank report that “in terms of oil-importing countries, the growth rate in Egypt decreased slightly to 4.3% in fiscal year 2016, as it faced manufacturing industries with qat due to lack of foreign currency, and declining tourism sector growth. It is estimated that the growth rate in Morocco dropped to 1.5% in 2016 due to the contraction of the agricultural sector caused by drought. ” He stressed that “the expected growth of the economy of Iraq during the current year of 1.1%.”

Breitling (Dinar Guru) – …It’s not what they’re saying it’s what they’re doing is what you need to understand the most…the CBI said they’re going to raise the value of their currency. The Ministry of Planning, parliament say the value is going to go up. I don’t need them to say anything if I’m watching their maneuvering and I understand how they’re going to compete. Then I understand how they’re going to add value to their currency. I really don’t have to hear anybody “say” anything. I just watch what they do. It’s not what they say it’s what they do that’s most important and the CBI is maneuvering in our favor if you’re investing in Iraq. So don’t get too crazy on what everybody says…just watch what the CBI does. Watch what the ministry of Planning is doing and how they’re doing it.

BGG ~ Still the biggest news of the day…
I just wish people would quit listen to [STUPID] – and imagining the worst. That is NOT WHAT HE SAID!! This thing is still ON!!
Governor of the Central Bank’s “Tomorrow Press”: Iraqi dinar is not in danger and delete the zeros Postponed
BAGHDAD / Tomorrow Press – The Central Bank, said on Sunday that there is full control of the Iraqi dinar, revealing that the deletion of zeros from the currency, deferred for the time being.
The governor of the bank, on the Keywords, for “tomorrow’s Press,” that “the rumors about the Iraqi dinar at risk and prone to degradation and decline in comparison with other currencies as dollar, is not true,” adding that “Msatralih dinar fully and that in progress.”
He added, “The Bank operates in accordance with the monetary and fiscal policies which are managed accurately and feminization and that the issue of preservation of the Iraqi dinar of the priorities of his interest, but it’s at the heart of his work.”
And on the application of the process of deleting the zeros of the Iraqi currency, Keywords, said that “the Iraqi Central Bank did not specify a date for the”.deletion of zeros from the currency dinar, noting that “subject to availability of appropriate conditions, including the general stability in the country.”
He stressed the central bank governor and the agency, the need to “ensure the success of the process of deleting the zeros requirements before starting out, so the central bank will continue technical preparations in order to be practical fit when deciding deletion.”
Mr White ~ Alak is not speaking about the “project”, but is speaking about one piece, one segment of the entire project. The point is not the reduction of the note count, but the actual removal of the large notes from the currency following changes within the marketplace. He is saying that he does not know when that will be because the market conditions are not right/correct at this time.
Why is this? What condition is making it necessary for the large notes to be used in the market place? Answer; the costs of goods. The actual prices of the goods in the stores and shops. Alak is saying that until the conditions are correct he will not have a date for when the large notes will be removed.
What will change the conditions in the marketplace? What will change the prices in a marketplace that imports over 90% of its goods?
Answer; a dramatic change in the value of the currency that is used to pay for those goods.
This is what Alak, a banker, is referring to. Once the value of the IQD is increased and its effects percolate throughout the marketplace and the costs/prices in the marketplace begin to lower, then he will have a better forecast on the removal of the larger notes from the currency (Alak’s words).
Mr White
