Dinar Daily NEWS Blog – Mar. 21st

Let me boil my recent comments down to one simple idea.

It appears to me – Warka Bank is interested in the same thing the CBI is right now…

Which is, recapturing as much Dinar as possible.

Does this imply some immediate RV (or value change)?

No – it does not. In fact, it might even imply them thinking some value shift may be coming as far out as sometime in the next couple of fiscal quarters.

BGG ~ OH DEAR LORD!!

I get it that they’ve changed (ownership / management), they’re all different now and under the direct oversight of the CBI (which might even bother me a little more)…

BUT HOLY COW!! These guys are really something…

“Here’s a letter authorizing us to withdraw the money from your account”… (because it’s somehow – legally O.K.) …and put it in ours… “sign right here please… press hard – there are three copies”

However, the flip side of this is, what if…

They know (or can foresee) something is on the horizon? They bring in all this IQD (for essentially – FREE)… then the IQD value goes up.

They just sold millions upon millions of shares of a Bank that is essentially worthless for $1 per share (or more). Sounds like the greatest financial coup in history.

Would the value of the IQD going up make the bank more valuable?

No, it does not… but if Warka pulls this off they will be sitting on a GIGANTIC PILE OF MONEY.

Why else would they sell a share of their (albeit $h!tty) bank for FRACTIONS of a cent?? They would be GIVING IT AWAY…

Unless, of course, they foresee buying the incoming money at one price and selling it later at another.

The rise in the value of the dinar strengthens international confidence in the Iraqi economy

Baghdad / Hussein Thugb – The recovery of the Iraqi dinar and the stability of the exchange rate leads to the strengthening of international confidence in the national economy, where local markets indicated an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar and conflicting views on this and came the opinion of the Central Bank to be the subject.

Director of operations at the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, said that “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification of large measures on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand. Classification and audit and noted that “over the past year we were able to achieve great stability of the upper and lower limits to the dollar either Aldnyar, and then we moved to a new situation this year , represented a new classification procedures adopted and auditing, as well as the offer.” Greater coverage and added that ” it is hard to be one variable indicator in this change , there are several measures and cover greater demand for the dollar, as well as emphasis on control over the sales operations with banks and regulate this process accurately based on classifications.

Dave S – “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand.”

In other words nothing has changed on a national level.

The dinar has continued to fluctuate as in the past against the dollar on a national level.

The challenge is going to an international level meaning that in order to do that their needs to be a change in “classification “, in my opinion, lower denominations for ATMs and for the purposes of auditing etc… 

This is the process to get the dinar recognized on an international level.

I could be wrong but just my humble interpretation of this article.

BGG ~ OH DEAR LORD!!

I get it that they’ve changed (ownership / management), they’re all different now and under the direct oversight of the CBI (which might even bother me a little more)…

BUT HOLY COW!! These guys are really something…

“Here’s a letter authorizing us to withdraw the money from your account”… (because it’s somehow – legally O.K.) …and put it in ours… “sign right here please… press hard – there are three copies”

However, the flip side of this is, what if…

They know (or can foresee) something is on the horizon? They bring in all this IQD (for essentially – FREE)… then the IQD value goes up.

They just sold millions upon millions of shares of a Bank that is essentially worthless for $1 per share (or more). Sounds like the greatest financial coup in history.

Would the value of the IQD going up make the bank more valuable?

No, it does not… but if Warka pulls this off they will be sitting on a GIGANTIC PILE OF MONEY.

Why else would they sell a share of their (albeit $h!tty) bank for FRACTIONS of a cent?? They would be GIVING IT AWAY…

Unless, of course, they foresee buying the incoming money at one price and selling it later at another.

The rise in the value of the dinar strengthens international confidence in the Iraqi economy

Baghdad / Hussein Thugb – The recovery of the Iraqi dinar and the stability of the exchange rate leads to the strengthening of international confidence in the national economy, where local markets indicated an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar and conflicting views on this and came the opinion of the Central Bank to be the subject.

Director of operations at the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, said that “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification of large measures on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand. Classification and audit and noted that “over the past year we were able to achieve great stability of the upper and lower limits to the dollar either Aldnyar, and then we moved to a new situation this year , represented a new classification procedures adopted and auditing, as well as the offer.” Greater coverage and added that ” it is hard to be one variable indicator in this change , there are several measures and cover greater demand for the dollar, as well as emphasis on control over the sales operations with banks and regulate this process accurately based on classifications.

Dave S – “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand.”

In other words nothing has changed on a national level.

The dinar has continued to fluctuate as in the past against the dollar on a national level.

The challenge is going to an international level meaning that in order to do that their needs to be a change in “classification “, in my opinion, lower denominations for ATMs and for the purposes of auditing etc… 

This is the process to get the dinar recognized on an international level.

I could be wrong but just my humble interpretation of this article.

Abadi: We call for political consensus for the sake of the country

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Saturday called for a political consensus for the sake of the country’s interests, stressing that Iraq seeks to build relations with countries on the basis of common interests.

“We are with the political consensus that cares for the interest of the country and the citizens, and we are not with the political consensus that is looking for privileges and positions,” Abadi said during the memorial ceremony on the occasion of Iraqi Martyr Day.

“We want a strong country and a unified Iraq that plays an important role in the region and the world,” he said.

“Building relations with countries on the basis of common interests, we do not want relations to provide the interest of the other to our national interest.”

He added that “any conflict in the region will show terrorist groups and this is not in the interest of anyone, and not a day only to uncover terrorist cells and pursue them in cities and deserts and towns.”…

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Saturday called for a political consensus for the sake of the country’s interests, stressing that Iraq seeks to build relations with countries on the basis of common interests.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) –   I don’t understand why so many are trying to figure out what the correct 2% spread is for the Market Rate?  This is pretty simple….  The Official Rate at the CBI is 1184, you add the CBI commissions on auction currency of 6 dinars to reach 1190.  The spread then is derived from this at 2% or 24 dinars making it 1214 to $1 or less to be in compliance.  Based on today’s numbers, they are within compliance.

No firm date is known.Get it? The article did not give us a date.  If we give a week from the last week in December for the IMF to review Iraq’s request this puts us to at least the end of the year 2017.  Then if they do place a mandatory monitoring program in place for the MCP we can see 90 days probably begins around Jan 1st.  So if we go out 90 days then where do we land So knowing all this then when do you think we might see it happen …no one knows the date of the RV, we only speculate and try to figure it out using the best information we have on hand at the time.  It’s not rocket science to see a possible window coming up very soon…

The rise in the value of the dinar strengthens international confidence in the Iraqi economy

Baghdad / Hussein Thugb – The recovery of the Iraqi dinar and the stability of the exchange rate leads to the strengthening of international confidence in the national economy, where local markets indicated an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar and conflicting views on this and came the opinion of the Central Bank to be the subject.

Director of operations at the Central Bank of Iraq, Mahmoud Dagher, said that “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification of large measures on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand. Classification and audit and noted that “over the past year we were able to achieve great stability of the upper and lower limits to the dollar either Aldnyar, and then we moved to a new situation this year , represented a new classification procedures adopted and auditing, as well as the offer.” Greater coverage and added that ” it is hard to be one variable indicator in this change , there are several measures and cover greater demand for the dollar, as well as emphasis on control over the sales operations with banks and regulate this process accurately based on classifications.

Dave S – “the improvement of the value of the Iraqi dinar recently, is not a new phenomenon, but the outcome of the work continued for a full year, was through the identification on the process of currency presentation and address violations of demand.”

In other words nothing has changed on a national level.

The dinar has continued to fluctuate as in the past against the dollar on a national level.

The challenge is going to an international level meaning that in order to do that their needs to be a change in “classification “, in my opinion, lower denominations for ATMs and for the purposes of auditing etc… 

This is the process to get the dinar recognized on an international level.

I could be wrong but just my humble interpretation of this article.

How Iraq’s Prime Minister Is Trying to Build Peace After 15 Years of Conflict

On a crisp afternoon in late winter, Bassem Qassim, a 55-year-old militia fighter, drives past a checkpoint on the edge of Baghdad, where the city’s clogged traffic gives way to sheep grazing and villagers tending small crops next to their houses.

A couple of dozen miles farther, he stops the car in a tiny hamlet to show how perilously close the Islamic State came to taking the Iraqi capital during its stampede into the country in 2014. He points to a cluster of trees on the edge of a small community. “They were right here,” says Qassim, who fought a fierce battle against the jihadists for 3½ years.

“This was our line of defense.”

The sleepy dot on the map does not look like a war front. And yet, after years of conflict, countless fault lines like this crisscross Iraq, leaving riven communities and millions of upturned lives in their wake. Now, as the country digs out from its grueling war against ISIS, it is trying to forge from its victory a lasting peace for the first time since the U.S. led a military invasion of Iraq in March 2003, in defiance of the U.N., to overthrow the autocrat Saddam Hussein.

Fifteen years on, TIME returned to Baghdad to speak to Iraqis of almost every stripe, from battle-hardened fighters and grieving civilians to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. All are trying to determine how they can finally prosper, and whether this relative calm can last. Having all but obliterated ISIS’s caliphate, Iraqis are grappling with a question that had largely receded during years of fighting, and that now looms large over the parliamentary elections scheduled for May 12: Can their country emerge as a functioning democracy, with its Shi‘ite, Sunni and Kurdish populations relatively united? And can it do that without the safety net of the U.S. military?

If it succeeds—and it is a big if—Iraq could become that beacon of freedom that U.S. officials once promised 15 years ago…

Baghdad today – “The Wall Street Journal” in a report published Friday, the survival of Prime Minister Haider Abadi in office after the next election, while indicated that the alliances after May, who will decide the form of the next government.

The pro-Iranian Shiite factions, inspired by Hezbollah, also act as political parties, and as with Hezbollah, their ability to exercise political power within Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s government and abroad is derived from their weapons, By the total votes they will receive in the May 12 elections. ”

“The multiplicity of political forces and the influence of Iran and the fragmentation of the Iraqi parliamentary system means that post-election bargaining will determine the course of the state rather than the elections itself.”

“Nothing fundamentally changes in the way Iraq is governed,” the paper quoted Haddad, an Iraqi political specialist at the National University of Singapore, as saying.

How Iraq’s Prime Minister Is Trying to Build Peace After 15 Years of Conflict

On a crisp afternoon in late winter, Bassem Qassim, a 55-year-old militia fighter, drives past a checkpoint on the edge of Baghdad, where the city’s clogged traffic gives way to sheep grazing and villagers tending small crops next to their houses.

A couple of dozen miles farther, he stops the car in a tiny hamlet to show how perilously close the Islamic State came to taking the Iraqi capital during its stampede into the country in 2014. He points to a cluster of trees on the edge of a small community. “They were right here,” says Qassim, who fought a fierce battle against the jihadists for 3½ years.

“This was our line of defense.”

The sleepy dot on the map does not look like a war front. And yet, after years of conflict, countless fault lines like this crisscross Iraq, leaving riven communities and millions of upturned lives in their wake. Now, as the country digs out from its grueling war against ISIS, it is trying to forge from its victory a lasting peace for the first time since the U.S. led a military invasion of Iraq in March 2003, in defiance of the U.N., to overthrow the autocrat Saddam Hussein.

Fifteen years on, TIME returned to Baghdad to speak to Iraqis of almost every stripe, from battle-hardened fighters and grieving civilians to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. All are trying to determine how they can finally prosper, and whether this relative calm can last. Having all but obliterated ISIS’s caliphate, Iraqis are grappling with a question that had largely receded during years of fighting, and that now looms large over the parliamentary elections scheduled for May 12: Can their country emerge as a functioning democracy, with its Shi‘ite, Sunni and Kurdish populations relatively united? And can it do that without the safety net of the U.S. military?

If it succeeds—and it is a big if—Iraq could become that beacon of freedom that U.S. officials once promised 15 years ago…

Law of the National Oil Company .. A new era for the development of the economy

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – The House of Representatives voted Monday on a draft law of the National Oil Company, which will contribute to the development of the Iraqi oil industry, which aims to establish an Iraqi national oil company and enable it to carry out its work in the best way possible.

Majid al-Baydani said in an interview with Al-Sabah that “the approval of the law of the National Oil Company will be a new era for the oil industry in the country as it will encourage the adoption of advanced scientific and technological methods to manage the national wealth to support the development of the economy.” “This will be an important shift in the development of extracting, marketing, transportation, storage and sales to the point of delivery and other oil operations,” he said.

The largest company

Al-Baydani said that “the Iraqi National Oil Company will be the second largest oil company in the world after Aramco and the largest of all international oil companies, which calls for the President to have a degree of experience and efficiency appropriate, commensurate with the powers of the company and capital.”

BGG ~ I will continue to highlight the regular auctions. After recently asking around about the reasons for the “tightening” of the supply of Dinar in the U.S… one of the main reasons I got was the fewer and fewer auctions. Wait – what?!? They are still having fairly robust auctions.

So, obviously, that’s not true… so what is it?

Another possibility is this MASSIVE financial embargo on Kurdistan, provided this was where currency was coming from.

I have also heard of a couple of major players talking about having money in – or being able to get money out of Kurdistan… all baloney. Kurdistan has been under very tight controls since snubbing the world diplomats with this sham vote pushed by Barzani.

Why was it a sham vote? Simple fact: you can’t just take what isn’t yours to take just because you vote on it.

Back to my previous rebuttal – anyone who actually had money in Kurdistan would have either gotten it out or is REALLY “up a creek”… likely just more B.S.

So…

1) Fewer auctions?

2) Tightening borders (fewer exports)?

3) More demand? I sincerely doubt it.

4) IMHO and most likely, the supply here in the U.S. from disgruntled sellers, which is likely where the bulk of the U.S. supply really comes from, and current interested buyers has finally reached a point of parity where the “supply – demand” scales are more evenly balanced.

Hence, the price goes up (Currently selling between $1100-$1200 per million)

After a difficult labor, the Iraqi parliament approved yesterday the law of the general budget for 2018, ending months of disagreements on most paragraphs of the law, especially the allocations of “popular mobilization” and oil-producing provinces, at a time boycotted Kurdish deputies meeting in protest to reduce the share of the region from 17 percent to 12 , 6 percent, threatened to boycott the political process.

BGG ~ This is almost comical… Think about this for a sec…

These guys, none of whom are elected and aren’t regional MP’s (because the Parliament was disbanded by Massoud Barzani) – are only advisers to Nerchivan Barzani who wasn’t elected either…

…all get together, look “super-duper” official and “send a message” to Baghdad.

Really?!?

Chattels (Dinar Guru) –   I am thinking that the implementation / application of the INOC [Iraq National Oil Company] could be an alter ego to the HCL or a precursor of it.  The INOC does not specifically resolve all HCL issues, but it may be a foundational framework for it.  There are significant constitutional issues that may be addressed going forward with the INOC regarding the federalism issues with the HCL.

PM Barzani: This was not the Iraq we wanted after 2003

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani expressed that Iraq was founded after 2003 on the basis of partnership and the budget passed on Saturday did not underscore that.

The premier said at a press conference on Sunday it was “unfortunate” that the Iraqi bill was approved without meeting Kurdish demands because they reflect the government and the people.

The work of the Kurdish blocs in Baghdad was “appreciated” by Barzani.

“I want to thank all Kurdish factions for their attempts recently to guarantee Kurdish share in the budget,” he said, while promising to speak with all Kurdish parties and MPs.

“Despite all the internal issues in Kurdistan, all Kurds in Baghdad strived for Kurdistan’s interests,” Barzani said.

He stressed that he believes dialogue is the only way to resolve pending issues and he remains “hopeful.”

“I am in constant contact with Prime Minister [Haider al-Abadi] to resolve issues,” said Barzani…

Parliamentary Energy: The law of the National Oil Company will give a share to every Iraqi citizen

The Iraqi oil and energy committee revealed on Tuesday that the Iraqi National Oil Company (INCOC) will include at least 10 percent of the funds in the first experiment in the country, while one of the funds will give each Iraqi citizen residing within the country a share of that percentage. “The legislation of the law of the Iraqi National Oil Company represents a great achievement for the House of Representatives, which re-established the law of forming the company, which was canceled by personal decisions of the former regime in 1987 after there was a law,” Ali al-Bahadli, chairman of the committee, told a news conference with members of the committee. No. 123 of 1967, where it was merged and subordinated to the Ministry of Oil, “noting that” after 2004 tried to the Ministry of Oil and former Minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum to reactivate the law of the National Oil Company, but those efforts collided with objections from some. ”

Al-Bahadli added that “the law and after the efforts and discussions and workshops lasted for several months has seen the light, where will work to activate investment in refineries and the gas industry and all the goals set for the success of the work of the company can be achieved through several objectives and means in investment and exploration of new structures and activate investment under the mechanisms and scientific foundations And technical, “pointing out that” some understand that the company has powers higher than what some expect, but really draws its work and powers of the Constitution, the arm of the Ministry of Oil, which draws oil policies of the country and the company is working to implement those policies. “…

Dinar Daily NEWS Blog – Mar. 9th

BGG ~ Lately there has been mostly “mish mosh” news out there… just noise filling up the “news space”.

Here are the things you really want to hear about…

Is this recent 11.74 rate thing real? No – of course it isn’t, but you already knew that. Right? It was some kind of glitch. A software error. Someone jacking everyone around (aka – “THE JACK FACTOR”). When there is a real value change, it will be real everywhere. There won’t be any doubt and you WILL KNOW. Did it get everyone a little excited?? Yeah – but not yet. 

On the other hand, here are some REAL points of interest…

Recently, there has been a SIGNIFICANT tightening of the “Official Rate / Market Rate” – I think it is getting VERY CLOSE to being within IMF compliance. This is REAL. I cannot recall this ever being the case.

Then – there is this…

“Law of the National Oil Company .. A new era for the development of the economy” …

In some strange way, the Kurds may have forced everyone’s hand on some sort of improvised HCL in the form of this “National Oil Company” Law. The Iraqis are famous for vagaries and a fluid sense of description. It is not uncommon for their terminology and phrasing to be constantly changing.

Everyone imagined an HCL (agreement) Law would be something of a replacement for the current HCL in a “repeal and replace” sort of move. However, this may well be what they settle on after all. It seems to do, in principle, everything a new HCL agreement was meant to do. There seems to be a lot of internal excitement over it.

Further, getting this done could be a huge step towards getting Abadi re-elected. Think about the mentality of the voter who stands to share in oil revenues in the near future based on this move by Abadi.

The Kurds thinking they would (or could) “dethrone” Abadi may also well be the best thing that could have happened to him. Barzani gave everyone the perfect scapegoat – what with him snubbing the WORLD and then getting outed as being all tangled up with Maliki and such. All of this just got everyone South of Erbil on the same page (more or less) and voting something like this through… and it’s happening almost OVERNITE, RIGHT UNDER EVERYONE’S NOSES.

Imagine that – The Iraqi Parliament passing something like this without needing any Kurdish support. I say – miracle of all miracles…

BGG ~ This is almost comical… Think about this for a sec…

These guys, none of whom are elected and aren’t regional MP’s (because the Parliament was disbanded by Massoud Barzani) – are only advisers to Nerchivan Barzani who wasn’t elected either…

…all get together, look “super-duper” official and “send a message” to Baghdad.

Really?!?

Chattels (Dinar Guru) –   I am thinking that the implementation / application of the INOC [Iraq National Oil Company] could be an alter ego to the HCL or a precursor of it.  The INOC does not specifically resolve all HCL issues, but it may be a foundational framework for it.  There are significant constitutional issues that may be addressed going forward with the INOC regarding the federalism issues with the HCL.

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   There was a rumor this week that a lot of people brought to my attention. Yes, I’ve been on top of it. No, the rate has not officially changed. Here’s the deal: I hear more rumors than most, and I consider it my “job” to verify anything significant. The recent “buzz” about the rate change on Google and a few other places is causing a lot of buzz.  Anytime something like this happens, the first thing I do is check with my top advisors. These are the people that are first-string contacts for us when we go to cash in, and even some of THEM have been double checking with me!

PM Barzani: This was not the Iraq we wanted after 2003

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani expressed that Iraq was founded after 2003 on the basis of partnership and the budget passed on Saturday did not underscore that.

The premier said at a press conference on Sunday it was “unfortunate” that the Iraqi bill was approved without meeting Kurdish demands because they reflect the government and the people.

The work of the Kurdish blocs in Baghdad was “appreciated” by Barzani.

“I want to thank all Kurdish factions for their attempts recently to guarantee Kurdish share in the budget,” he said, while promising to speak with all Kurdish parties and MPs.

“Despite all the internal issues in Kurdistan, all Kurds in Baghdad strived for Kurdistan’s interests,” Barzani said.

He stressed that he believes dialogue is the only way to resolve pending issues and he remains “hopeful.”

“I am in constant contact with Prime Minister [Haider al-Abadi] to resolve issues,” said Barzani…

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   This is a crazy time for the dinar, and when things like this happen… there’s a good chance that there is a REASON for it. There is no verification of the “reason” right now, but I don’t believe in coincidences. I am receiving an overwhelming amount of similar “rumors” from sources that don’t generally react to anything of the sortSome of these messages and calls are coming from people that I have business relationships with, but have NEVER contacted me regarding something that could be considered a “rumor”.  Things happen… for a reason.

The pro-Iranian Shiite factions, inspired by Hezbollah, also act as political parties, and as with Hezbollah, their ability to exercise political power within Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s government and abroad is derived from their weapons, By the total votes they will receive in the May 12 elections. ”

“The multiplicity of political forces and the influence of Iran and the fragmentation of the Iraqi parliamentary system means that post-election bargaining will determine the course of the state rather than the elections itself.”
