BGG (Dinar Guru) –   …article about the greatly tightened border scrutiny of borders and ports with respect to currency moving out of their borders…I think a lot of people missed that one about the borders last week…it was much bigger than the ‘airplay’ it got...shows a serious ‘sensitivity’ to currency moving outside the borders in an uncontrolled manner. Which begs the question – why?  In conrast – the US doesn’t worry too much about currency moving around… why is Iraq’s ‘currency sensitivity’ so heightened right now?  the answer is easy – they’ve already told us.

Enorrste (Dinar Guru) –  “Central Bank supports the international mathematical figure the “IBAN” starting from 2 January 2017”   Here is what IBAN means:  “The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an internationally agreed system of identifying bank accounts across national borders to facilitate the communication and processing of cross border transactions with a reduced risk of transcription errors.”  Therefore, this is a major step in prepaing to go international with the dinar.  By accepting the IBAN system they are saying that the rest of the world can access Iraqi bank account information if necessary.  This is a huge opening and will prepare the way for entry into Article VIII and international trading of the dinar, in my view.
______________________________________________________________


______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Central Bank announces the adoption of the international mathematical number (IBAN) makes all the conversions”  That is big news… Their IBAN ‘unification’ is a very big move…looks like we could see the start of international “re-integration” soon.
______________________________________________________________

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –  GOT A WHOPPER FOR YA.   Article:  “Central Bank announces the adoption of the international mathematical number (IBAN) makes all the conversions”  Quote:  “…introducing the international bank account number (IBAN) system in Iraq.”   THIS IS BIG NEWS BECAUSE IBAN HAS BEEN PART OF THEIR WORKING BANKING SUPERVISION FOR MANY LOI’S FROM THE IMF…AND TODAY… BOULYAAAH!  ABSOLUTELY … HUGE!
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   […”re-integration.” Is that the same as revalue…are we still believing that they will revalue around .90 equal to 1 dinar to begin with?]   That’s not exactly the same…”re-integration” is more like a term the international community is using to describe this move to “re-engage” Iraq with the rest of the world economically. It is likely sometime around the same time they will start the project to “Remove the 3 Zero notes” as they have outlined over and over…the beginning stages of this “project” will likely include some change in the value of the Dinar.  This is the stage most here are after – but there is much more to follow as well. It get more and more exciting by the day.

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –  WE ARE NOBODY IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS. THE AVERAGE IRAQI HAS SQUAT IN DINAR.  AND IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH AN OPTION BY THE BANKS IN IRAQ TO COMPLY TO THEIR RULES WHEN DEPOSITING.   AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERENED, WE TOO WIL BE DEALT WITH FAIRLY, WITH THE BANKS MOST LIKELY TURNING OVER OUR DEPOSIT FOR CREDIT AND OUR MEASLY DINAR GOING INTO THE U.S. FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE. THE AMOUNT OF DINAR OUTSIDE IRAQ HAS BEEN FIGURED IN AND IRAQ WILL BE FINE COVERING IT AS IT WILL BE A VIABLE RESERVE USED BY OTHER COUNTRIES.  …LETS SEE WHAT TRANSPIRES. THE END OF THIS RIDE IS ALMOST OVER. AS ALWAYS…JMO AND IN REGARDS TO IRAQS STATED FINACIALS…LOOK IN THE PAST…ITS THERE…THEIR FINE.  [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

Mailman17 (Dinar Guru) –   THE IRAQI DINAR HAS AND ALWAYS WAS SET UP TO BE A RESERVE CURRENCY. THE U.S. BRITAIN AND THE PARIS CLUB NOT TO MENTION IRAQS NEIGHBORS CAN ONLY BENEFIT BY HOLDING THE DINAR AS A RESERVE. THE MERE FACT THE U.S. DOLLAR IS STILL CONSIDERED A RESERVE CURRENCY IS MIND BOGGLING…YOU ADD IT UP.  IF YOU BELIEVE THEIR M0 OR M2 IS THAT HIGH OUTSIDE IRAQ WITHOUT FATORING IN THAT MOST LIKELY 80% OF THAT NUMBER IS HELD BY FOREIGN GOVTS, THEN YOU GOT A SCREW LOOSE. THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT NUMEROUS TIMES WITH 2 SETS OF BOOKS. WHEN ADDING UP IRAQS M0 AND M2 FIGURE IN VIRTUAL CURRENCY AS WELL…NUMBERS ON A BOOK, NOT ACTUAL PHYSICAL CURRENCY. THIS IS AND ALWAYS WAS WAY MORE THAN WE COULD IMAGINE REGARDING PAYOUT.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

tlm724 (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Central Iraq” supports the currency delete the “zeros” dinar”  …the CBI has given us ample information yearly about the project. First they say we have a green light and then they recant saying “we aren’t quite ready yet” because it was true, they weren’t ready.  I am excited for 2017 and all the promise it holds. We are fortunate enough to be able to read and study daily and with a little discernment we do get a pretty good picture as to what Iraq is doing. We know they have and are taking the steps outlined by the CBI to get this project launched once and for all. Parliament is supposed to resume their sessions on Jan 10th or there about. We need to see a few laws revised and implemented to insure a smooth transition to a free market economy and more importantly we need to see the economic laws to protect their wealth. You know just as well as I do that the IMF, the World Bank and the US Treasury have their hands in Iraq’s piggy bank and they aren’t going to let Iraq slip with this, there is too much at stake.
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) – RCookie was talking about…a very interesting article…RCookie’s article spoke to the border crossing thrust to regulate “currency smuggling” – my take?   IMHO – they don’t want “unauthorized” currency transfers OUTSIDE the country… ask yourself why?  [they are getting ready to revalue their currency?]  They have pretty much told us so… in a number of different ways.  …I am suspicious the “outside” number is the one they are most concerned with.  Why would they tell us?  Because they don’t care if you know…they aren’t talking to you and I…AND Shabibi did say – they would tell (educate) their people leading up to this event/start of “the project”…

loop (Dinar Guru) –  Article:  “Detection Network visit smart cards finance seized 1.5 billion dinars”  Quote:   “…in coordination with the competent authorities have been caught on one of the gang members and the introduction of appropriate officials to justice and to take necessary legal action against the defaulters.”  Crime does not pay in Iraq anymore. It has become very apparent that the GOI has implemented strategies to stop the corruption and bring the perpetrators to justice. We see articles almost everyday that is showing this.

rcookie (Dinar Guru) –   Article quote:  “Jordanian-Iraqi Business Forum will be held on the sidelines of the expanded meeting on Monday to discuss possibilities of strengthening economic cooperation and joint ventures.”  SO ABADI MET WITH EROGAN FROM TURKEY YESTERDAY…AND HAS JORDAN PM TOMORROW WITH AN ECONOMIC AGENDA...
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –  …everyone (me included) has operated under this premise that “they” wouldn’t tell us…like it’s some big secret… “the WHALES would sweep in and buy up Iraq for pennies on the dollar”…WHO WOULD THE WHALES BUY IT FROM?  the amount of Dinar in circulation outside of Iraq is a set number – they could care less who owns it…me – you – the guy down the street… it’s all the same to them.   …these articles they are printing are for their own people and their own purposes. Nothing to do with us… we are actually the little fish in this whole play.   …the currency “re-integration” is NOT THE BIG PLAY HERE.  Big time traders will make money on this the same way they always do – by trading once this new market goes digital and is accessible…and the big play is the “wall of investment capital” Iraq will get hit with once this happens. Once they are fully re-integrated in the world economy – THIS IS THE REAL PLAY.  [The first few days on the ISX after their currency is international is going to be facinating. Could be the biggest single movement in this whole happening.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   Article:   “Central Iraq” supports the currency delete the “zeros” dinar”   A couple of things… technically, Iraq does not need to be in Article VIII for currency reform. They can do that at anytime.  it is clear that the intent is to float the dinar or gradually raise the dinar over time which will raise the value of the dinar and raise the zeros. The IMF made it very clear (referring to the Ballassa Samuelson Effect) in 2012, and the CBI stated just last year they plan to bring out a 50, 100, 200 early 2017. Both of these statements only make sense under the circumstances I am explaining. LOP’s affect all notes at the same time, would not need 10 years to transition, would counter all statements made a few years ago by Saleh (the dinar will be held around the world for a very long time, etc), etc. etc.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   the dinar won’t go to a dime overnight. It will rise gradually and thus the CBI can reduce the money supply from trillions to billions simultaneously.
______________________________________________________________

wmawhite (Dinar Guru) –  They have laws that eventually need to be passed. However, none of those laws preclude a change in the value of the currency.  Remember, nearly 21 months ago…March 3, 2015 the CBI announced that they had received the “green light” to move forward with the “Delete The Zeros Project.”  nothing about needing any laws passed…this event is in process…it is not a single event.  Instead, it has many parts to it and the value change is only one part of the project that is needed up front.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   I have a good feeling about 2017, and it’s not because of a “feeling”… it’s a direct result of having watched this thing like a hawk for a few long years and having compiled a “big picture” of where we are and where we need to go. Much of 2016 was hampered by ISIS. That’s just a fact. There was no way Iraq could have successfully revalued their currency to a significant number with so many problems with ISIS. …two articles this morning…about Iraq’s resumed push into Mosul…both are positive about Iraq’s current success and continued success. This WILL happen! My key focus towards the 2nd half of 2016 was HCL, and it continues to be HCL.   Late December, Parliament set a specific date to start the “new” legislations for the year. That date was January 2, 2017, as in 2 days ago. Can anyone guess what legislation I’m excited to see?  You bet!  some of what Parliament covered on their first 2017 session…it’s almost glaringly obvious that this will affect the HCL

Loop (Dinar Guru) –   Alak has been sending the same message and really has not moved away from it for well over a year now.   He gave the green light to start the project to delete the zeros over the year ago.  Well before that they they pull the 50s off the street. Ask yourself why would a worthless note need to be pulled.  Because of the new 50 that they were planning on release IMO.  THen they were white listed.  There are so many bread crumbs that all point to the same thing.  Here is one of Alak’s more recent quotes:   He noted that the solution in Iraq lies in dollar demand reduction through structural correction of the Iraqi economy, and not through refraining from selling the dollar.  HUGE HUGE HUGE  [and how do they accomplish that?]  THe deletion of those pesky zeors is how.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Can Iraq go international with their currency before the UNSC meets and officially releases the final two sanctions?]   the assumption the “Iraq can GO international with their currency” is a flawed viewpoint. They need this international support to do such a thing.  Where would Iraq be if no one is willing to accept whatever change they put forth?   …they will get to do what they get support (and guidance) to do…they succeed thus far – because they are listening and doing.  [Hope the UNSC meets soon to provide the clearance.The IMF and WB are much more important – the UNSC will be lucky if they exist in a year or two.

Central Bank of Iraq supports the currency “delete the zeros” (from) the Dinar

Revealed the Keywords Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq to delete the zeros of the Iraqi currency, he began to develop the first steps of the support of the Iraqi dinar project.

Keywords and said in a statement, said that the aim of the deletion of three zeros is to support the Iraqi dinar, and make it a competitor to foreign currencies, pointing out that this strategic project will serve the country ‘s economy, as the dinar will be included in the global basket of currencies in the vital exchanges.

He added that the bank is working on mechanisms for the implementation of the project, it is expected to start at the beginning of 2017. He pointed out that the introduction of the new currency does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about 10 years.

Now that they got this ship point downstream things that they put into play 1 or 2 or more years ago will start bear fruit.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [Do you think Iraq is feeling any kind of urgency to complete the economic reform as of late.]  I don’t know that “urgency” is in their vocabulary – but they are moving forward with “extreme prejudice”.  Much of this progress is highly likely the oversight of the IMF/WB at play – they say – Iraq does, IT WORKS. Good stuff.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   [what are you most excited about lately?]  All of it. Hard to pin my interest on any one thing…and maybe that is the exciting part – it isn’t just one thing.  It’s the forward velocity on virtually all fronts [top five?]   5) IMHO there is more to this comment by Abadi over Mosul taking 3 more months the other day… I really doubt that proves to be accurate… translation? Political posturing? Some kind of intentinal mislead? IDK – but it does seem at odds with most of his previous commentary.  4) The recovery of stolen monies by the GOI – big news. They are looking to put an end to the culture of corruption.   3) The passage of the J&A Law – HUGE piece…2) General forward velocity of all the Economic and Financial reforms going on right now – they are really building an economy – FAST.  1) Obviously – the statements by the current Gov of the CBI concerning their “beginning of 2017” timeline – HUGE!
