BGG ~ You do realize what they are talking about here – right? This is a fairly direct reference to the “deleting of the zeros” project in a veiled sort of way. Fact.
“Iraq’s agreement with other countries for commercial exchange through the local currency and abandonment of the dollar will have a positive return on the economy,” Smisem said, “noting that” trade in local currency will reduce the inflation rate significantly because of the lack of the need to buy Dollar or reduce the proportion of purchase. “
Even though they are saying they can’t do it right now… doesn’t mean they won’t – or this person has the final say in such matters.
If they want to re-engage with other world economies, this will happen. All of these items appear on a collision course.
However, they won’t be able to lay off the dollar or fully engage internationally at the current value… it is too much of imbalance.
It is going to be interesting to see the outcome of these next meetings with the IMF starting on the 13th here in Washington D.C.

BGG ~ This is a “catch phrase” some have interpreted as some kind of precursor “dog whistle” to a soon coming RV…

MilitiaMan (Dinar Guru) – So if we look at the timing of events and the knowledge we have from the plethora of information we have been freely given by many people to use for to find a foundation in our investment that imo is not speculative at all. It is in fact, based on hard data that supports the Iraqi Dinar is by far under valued. We can look at not only natural resources, taxes and tariffs, agriculture, claw back of stolen goods and monies, and to soon be a booming in tourism industry, etc., that supports the value of an international convertible currency at a market rate. The above should give security to those investors even more now. Their money and persons will be safe to move freely! The expectation of Abadi to speak now about full liberation of Iraq is greater than ever before, imo.

I realize the recent referendum on the Kurd’s independence was just that…and nothing can happen with that right away…Long term however, do you see Iraq becoming 3 States?] Long term…. I don’t know. I see the RV happening before any split, though…For now, I’m not concerned about them splitting or not… I just want to see this HCL get done.

G-Lin (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Iraqi parliament reveals new sanctions for the Kurdistan region” Quote: “...in addition to a package of resolutions, notably the suspension of the sale of the dollar to the region, government and private banks, as well as a lawsuit against four companies.” […why suspend the sale of dollars to Kurdistan?] I’m not real sure about their thinking on this…In an art. posted a few days ago it stated that Kurdistan has 30% of the hard currency in their banks. Also the CBI said they will not stop selling the dollar in Kurdistan. So who has the final word? Independent CBI or Minister of Finance in Parl.? It seems that this move would cut Iraq’s nose off to spite it’s face. It will affect them too. Economist say this is a bad idea. As usual, we shall see how this plays out.

The Central Bank: the draft zeros delete will be implemented in early 2017
Tomorrow Press / Baghdad confirmed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday that the deletion of zeros project will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.
Keywords and said for “Tomorrow ‘s Press”, said that ” the goal of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor for foreign currency”, returned him as ” a strategic project that will serve the country ‘s economy.”
“The bank is working on the mechanisms used towards the implementation of this project is expected to start by the beginning of 2017 , ” noting that ” the central bank began the first steps of the project by selecting the designs and companies and the country in which it will be printed currency.”
He noted that ” the launch of the new currency does not mean the destruction of the old currencies , but it will continue to trade to about ten years , ” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the mechanisms will maintain market liquidity.”
The Finance Committee in the former House of Representatives revealed, (2013 August 15), for the postponement of the process of deleting zeros from the currency until after the next parliamentary elections, while confirming that the government is demanding guarantees for non – substituent currency back to the markets and forge.
BGG ~ This paragraph was some historical perspective leading up to the first part of the article…
The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed, in (April 25, 2013), that there is no intention at the present time to restructure the currency and the deletion of three zeros of them, denying reports that in this regard.
BGG ~ More historical background on the subject – referring to the 2013 time period (NOT CURRENT EVENTS)…
It is noteworthy that the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced (April 12, 2012), wait for the application of the process of deleting zeros from the national currency, which had to stop all procedures related to the process mentioned until further notice.
BGG ~ This paragraph pretty much confirms the instance cited on PG 84 of the SIGR Report delivered to the US Congress in 2012. – This was a Maliki era decision. Obvious crookery going on.
It is noteworthy that some economists believe that Iraq is not ready at present to delete the zeros from the dinar, noting that the deletion needs to be a security and political stability as well as economic stability.
BGG ~ ….”the deletion needs to be a (in) security and political stability as well as economic stability”…. This last bit seem to be a more recent argument. It would appear the “experts” in this camp have been winning the argument. However, it is plain to see the UN, IMF and WB are helping very much in all these areas, helping to bridge the gap and move Iraq into an era of security, political stability and economic well-being.

BGG ~ Though this piece was likely a “re-hash” of sorts, it has some more recent lingo added. Which lends some credence to it’s veracity. It is likely they just added some lines, rather than go back and re-write the whole subject in a current article.

CENTRAL BANK: DELETE ZEROS IN EARLY 2017
November 7, 2016
BAGHDAD / IBN – The governor of the Iraqi Central Bank on the Keywords that project to delete the zeros will be implemented in early 2017, indicating that the bank began to develop the first steps of the project.
BGG ~ This says they have already began to develop the first steps – indicating they are into the process (in late 2016). This would imply they are further along today… and likely many of the AML, electronic banking and international banking interactions are leading up to the implementation of this project.
Keywords and said in a statement on Monday, received Iraqi transmitter Network (IBN) a copy of the “The purpose of deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency is to support the Iraqi dinar and make it a competitor of foreign currency,” pointing out that “this strategic project will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. ”
BGG ~ This is a key phrase: “…will serve the country’s economy if it will be inclusion of the Iraqi dinar in the global basket of currencies in the vital world exchanges. “…
He added that the bank “is working on mechanisms for the implementation of this project is expected to start at the beginning of 2017,” noting that “the central bank began the first steps of the project through the selection of designs, companies and the country in which the currency will be printed.”
He pointed out that “the new currency entry does not mean the destruction of ancient coins, but will continue to trade for about ten years,” pointing out that “this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency in accordance with the dynamics and mechanics in order to preserve liquidity in the market.”
Ibnnews.net
BGG ~ This is the first of the two “flashback” articles I mentioned on the Conference Call the other night. This was published in early Nov, 2016. Obviously, it is easy to see why there was so much excitement over the “first part” of 2017.
BECAUSE THEY SAID SO…
However, there now seems to be have been more to the story. Lots of info in this piece to reflect on though.
Another reason to repost and reflect on this, they have said nothing contradictory since. They are obviously not “on schedule” but they are not denying it either.
