Adam Montana – No HCL yet, so no RV…things are still on track to move forward… the question is “when”.  Here’s an encouraging quote:  “The Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, said earlier that the approval of oil and gas law, will contribute to the achievement of social justice through the provision of investment opportunities great, and Sacefr differences associated with the adoption of the general budget, adding that the law would give wide latitude for the oil sector, to grow and implement projects planned.”  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

firefly – Contrary to popular belief …They will NEVER hold a press conference to announce the RI/RV!  They will announce events that should indicate that something is up.   So far the 3 laws I’m looking for have NOT been IMPLEMENTED…yet.  The most important of the 3 IMO is the anti-money laundering law.  Tariff Law IMO will be AFTER the fact. Border Tariffs! Investment Law is crucial as well.  Those 3 effect the Global economy. Yes many laws are still needing implementation for the nation of Iraq but not for the monetary reform.  HCL is very much needed for IRAQ!  Could it be put off? Of course it can…for much longer?  IMO…heck no!  IMO it will be a “Domino Effect”.  Yes, we are definitely in the moment of a historic event.  STOP looking for dates and windows…Timing my friends…TIMING!

Embattled Iraq chief judge speaks at length; hinges his own resignation on parliament’s passage of supreme court bill

Aggiedad77 – …from the news…we can see that PM Abadi’s reforms…the reforms that the people demonstrate about and cheer about…the reforms that the highest religious entities in Iraq are completely in favor of…The reforms that both the COM and Parliament have thus far backed without question….these reforms are very much a part of the lava flow for Iraq…These reforms are putting in motion the very core of the magma that pushes forward in a manner that will bring about success for their economic recovery as well as the monetary reform that is imperative for all that they seek and do.  Abadi is in control….remember that…yes there are what we see as loose ends but I’m of the opinion those loose ends for right now are necessary to get Abadi to the point where he truly needs to be with the reforms that we have yet to see.

My Ladies – Bloomberg article:  “How a Currency Crisis in Iraq Risks Fight Against Islamic State”   [It appears that the two authors…are stating that the CBI will be forced to devalue the IQD. However, the CBI is saying “no way, no devaluation”.]  IT’S ALL JUST MATH…OTHER EMERGING MARKETS ARE LETTING THEIR PEGS GO DUE TO PRESSURE ON THEM…I DIDN’T THINK IRAQ WAS FEELING THAT PRESSURE YET.  I KNEW THE PRESSURE WOULD BE INTENSE ONCE THEY STARTED TRADING THE DINAR GLOBALLY BUT I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WATCH SO THAT’S WHAT WE’LL DO, BUT I WAS THINKING IRAQ WOULD REACT ON THE OTHER SIDE. NOT NOW.  [How Do You Devalue A Currency That Is Not Tradable?] WELL…THAT’S THE QUESTION…HOW IS THERE PRESSURE IF IT’S NOT TRADING?   …AND WHY DID THE CBI NOT JUST SAY WE DON’T TRADE – WE DON’T WORRY? [Why Out Of All The Countries To Talk About Is Bloomberg Talking About Iraq?]

Millionday – [Are they going to redraft the HCl again and again? I thought it’s done?]  THEY ARE GOING TO DIVIDE UP PORTIONS SO THAT THE NATIONAL OIL COMPANY POLICIES DO NOT HOLD UP THE REFORM PROCESS ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ. KNOW THE HCL IS BEING PUSHED IN A HURRY AND CBI HAS STATED THAT THE TIMING IS RIPE — THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME.

Aggiedad77 – PM Abadi stood up to an Iranian General today whose sole purpose was to make a deal for Maliki to keep him out of court and prison…Abadi would not budge on the issue…  IMO…step one of Maliki’s demise…Abadi proved he will not knuckle under extreme stress…but Abadi won this round…is it over…no…but Abadi knows what needs to be done.  He has the backing of the Iraqi religious authority, he has the backing of the people, he has the support of COM, and he has the support of President of the Republic Masum…the ball is in his court I believe…I can’t say why he won’t arrest Maliki…but I believe his time grows short…watch what happens over the next few days… In closing and summing this all up…PM Abadi spoke today with a strength that I don’t think had previously been exhibited…he’s taking actions through his reforms…and …there are more reforms coming…pay attention to what he does…he is a very smart man and will not be outplayed…IMO.
______________________________________________________________

BGG – Article quote:  “Ft MP for the coalition of state law Hassan Sinead, his resignation from the membership of the House of Representatives. It is likely that the resignation of Sinead be a prelude to re-seat parliament to al-Maliki after limbering included government office in addition to the pursuit of obtaining the legal immunity…”  just because they say they are giving Maliki a seat – or someone is giving up their seat (more like Maliki bought it) means he will retain immunity – or they won’t arrest him anyway… especially with the crimes he is CLEARLY accused of.  There is plenty of precedent for him to have his “immunity” lifted and be arrested immediately – this is a weak tactic… but it tells you a lot about the struggle going on right now.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – …what is Maliki up to…IOO…he’s made a deal…[you mean in Iran?]  well yes but that was intended…IMO Maliki has made a deal in Iraq to stay out of the courts, to stay out of prison...Maliki needs to be tried before the citizens of Iraq…he needs to be held accountable for any and all atrocities that he is complicit to…

Soleimani stormed out after a heated meeting of National Alliance [and al-Abadi]

Baghdad-Iraq-Presse: “Middle East” newspaper quoted London on Tuesday for a high-level source that the meeting stormy been two days between Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and the commander of Iran’s Qods Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani before, the last part in a meeting of the Political Commission of the alliance National, headed by Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Foreign Minister, and the participation of each of the Vice President of the Republic article Nuri al-Maliki and the leader of the Supreme Council Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, a representative of the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr…

Kaperoni –  Article quote:  “The policy now is to meet the demand for dollars,” Waleed Eedi, a director general at the Central Bank of Iraq, said by telephone on Monday. The reserves won’t be depleted because of oil sales and the dinar won’t devalue, he said.”  It’s a doom and gloom article from Bloomberg and we already have seen the articles asking to devalue the dinar a few weeks back.  The CBI was clear that was not an option and reiterated that in this article.
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 –  The HCL is in the budget…as has been stated in the past…therefore no need to have it read in Parliament… IOO…it is a part of the “long line”…also IOO…the laws that are being worked in Parliament, at least the major laws will be…IOO…the trigger for the “long line”.

Millionday – Article quote:  “…the fight against administrative corruption and financial, is the cornerstone of achieving the government program goals in the reform, which received strong support from all popular forces loyal to Iraq,  and achieve victory over the forces of darkness and terrorism that have caused destruction to the Iraqi people and the Iraqi economy…”  THE HOLD-OFF OF REFORMS DUE TO TERRORISM DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT THIS TIME — THE REFORMS ARE EXPECTED TO HELP IN THE ISSUES THEY SUFFER…  [So Abadi is not going to hold off on the reforms? I think there was an article earlier that said that he was going to.]  NOT ACCORDING TO REPORTS THAT I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN — REFORMS ARE IN THE PROCESS ALREADY BY WHAT I READ.

Backdoc – AS OIL DROPS THE PRICE OF ALL GOODS AND SERVICES NEEDS TO DROP AS WELL. THE PROBLEM IS WAGES ARE NOT SET UP TO ADJUST ALONG WITH BUSINESS COSTS. THIS CAN OR WILL LIKELY CAUSE A CURRENCY IMPLOSION!  WHY AM I SHARING ALL THIS?  BECAUSE SOMEWHERE IN THIS PROCESS THE DINAR AND OTHER EMERGING MARKET CURRENCIES WILL BE THERE TO BAIL OUT THE WORLDS FINANCIAL SYSTEM!  I THINK WE ARE APPROACHING A NARROW WINDOW NOW IN THIS PROCESS. IT IS COMING TO A         CONCLUSION!  LOOK FOR THINGS TO GET MUCH WORSE AND VERY QUICKLY WORLDWIDE!

My Ladies – THE HOLD UP OF IRAQ BEING REACTIONARY HAS ALL TO DO WITH THE BANKING SYSTEM AS A WHOLE… IRAQ IS A KEY STATE IN THE INITIATIVE.  EMERGING MARKETS WERE NOT READY UNTIL NOW AND THAT INCLUDES IRAQ. WHEN THE ROUTE GET TO IRAQ AND IT IS TIME FOR IRAQ TO TRADE, THEY WILL TRADE AND WITH OUT SPEAKING TO VALUE THEY WILL TRADE WHETHER REFORMS ARE IN PLACE OR NOT.  IRAQ KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE WHICH IS WHY NOW THERE IS URGENCY FROM THE COUNTRY…  THE REAL INTEL IN THIS SCENARIO IS WITH THE BANKING SYSTEM.  IT IS ALL JUST MATH AND THERE IS NO ROOM FOR RUMOR OR ERROR IN MATH.  [post 2 of 2]

wmawhite – [I just got an article…talking about dinar against other currencies and oil price:  “Iraqi dinar compete Arab currencies in the exchange rate“]  currently the IQD is not competing against anything… therefore, if this person is correct and the IQD is going to compete within the world currency markets, then its status must change first.  Meaning, currencies compete based upon exchange rates… therefore, it must have an exchange rate with which other currencies will exchange with.  [so does that mean maybe an rv soon?]  There is NO maybes with the IQD…there is only WHEN the IQD starts moving within the world currencies markets.  Personally, they (the CBI, GOI and ISX) have issued so many indicators that point to a change in the status of the IQD.

Mnt Goat – Part of this effort will also be cleaning house in the CBI including the changeover from the proxy governor Ali al-Alaq to Dr. Sinan al-Shabibi.  I have evidence that speaks strongly that corruption must be cleaned out of the current CBI first before we will see any currency reform.
I assure you the process is already in play. The men on the chess board are about to be moved around.  So this week looks very good. I expect announcements of some of the recent reforms and Reconciliation legislation signed into law. Also I suspect this week or in the next couple weeks, we are once again some movement into a fantastic window of opportunity to see a change in the currency value of Iraq...I feel we are at the very near end to this RV saga.  [post 2 of 2]

Mnt Goat – I am hearing the Maliki influence has dwindled to the point that he no longer is any threat to the government. This was assured to us once his position as VP was eliminated. We wait for his trial on many charges. This is coming in the weeks ahead. I now have proof that currency reform is in fact one of the reforms Abadi fully intends to implement VERY soon.  I also have confirmation from the CBI that the IQD is no longer directly pegged to the USD but has been pegged to the SDR now since 2012 when Dr. Shabibi (then acting governor of the CBI) was in the process of the final steps of rolling out the lower denoms and coins. Well they are now on track to pick up the pieces and move forward with this once again.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Parliamentary Economy: customs need to in order to ensure the application of the customs tariff”  According to one MP from the Economic and Investment Committee within Parliament the taxes and tariffs need another year to be worked on until they are again brought to light...this also comes from the head of the Customs group responsible for implementation…they still face issues with border crossings and how to equitably implement the new laws.

RELAX FOLKS, ABADI IS WORKING TO REIGN IN ALL THE CORRUPTION  PERSONALLY AND ECONOMICALLY. THEY ARE MORE STABLE THAN EVER BEFORE AND WILL GET THEIR JOB COMPLETED ASAP. KEEP YOUR SMILE ON AND DON’T GET SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE OVER EVERY WORD YOU READ THAT SOUNDS NEGATIVE. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ONLY A WORD FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS NO HORSE IN THE RACE.

BGG – Their own economists say… tariffs without value will be bad for their citizens. If they have this problem with demonstrations now – just wait until tariffs are implemented without value. BIG TROUBLE…and for some reason they don’t seem to be taking their foot off the tariff  “pedal”… FULL BLAST!
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Supreme religious authority: a battle of destiny and to speed up reforms to hold accountable corrupt”  Here comes another not so subliminal message from the Iraqi clerics to PM Abadi…we need to clean up the judiciary to ensure when those accused of corruption are brought to trial there is no question as to the honesty and integrity of the judges hearing the cases…we need to push for more speed with the reforms that are being laid before the Iraqi people…make good decisions, make them quick, and move forward.

Delta – [“THE ECONOMIC REFORMS HAVE BEGUN — THEY ARE TO SATISFY THE CITIZENS AND ALSO ADDRESS NOT ONLY THE DOMESTIC — BUT THE GLOBAL SCALE.”   …that was supposedly released to the citizens Sunday am with 48 hours to implement. Is this news correct and if so if its to satisfy on a global scale could this be pointing to a rate change?]  YES THAT’S CORRECT…BUT KEEP IN MIND 48 HRS FOR IRAQ COULD MEAN A MONTH.

Analysts: al-Maliki at war again after being convicted of the report of Mosul

http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthread.php?18174-Analysts-al-Maliki-at-war-again-after-being-convicted-of-the-report-of-Mosul&p=128045&viewfull=1#post128045

BGG Notes:

Maliki came back from Iran where he met with most of his most ardent Shia supporters (not all Shias support him – as before).

The Dawa party (and Maliki) “facially supports” these recent reforms called for by the Iraqi Clerics and the demonstrators (the people)… However, it’s a political tactic. He needs to look like..

“HE’S THE REFORMER”, or at least line himself up with the reforms…

Then there’s these rants blaming Erbil and Turkey for the fall of Mosul. Maliki must think no one remembers Barzani going to the press when Maliki wouldn’t listen about ISIS on the move.

There are articles out that affirm they put the SLC at Abadi’s disposal… again a weak showing of being “on the side of reforms” – not the “focus of the reforms”…

On the other hand Maliki is secretly attempting to subvert Abadi  everything he does.

It is worth noting – there are numerous OP ED’s out recently pointing out that if Maliki really wanted reforms he would have done so long ago.

Maliki is in now in FULL DAMAGE control…

The Friday before the Mosul Report was coming out – he went to Iran to gather support. This move seems to have (temporarily) worked. This caught me a little off-guard. I didn’t think he had that kind of support from Iran once they pulled their support from his bid for a 3rd term.

He did not come back until he had some assurance of some kind – though no guarantee, he must feel he has some potential for survival.

This just goes to show you. I was told some time ago he had deep support from some very unlikely sources. It appears both Sunni leadership was “on the take” as well as some level of support from the Iranian Mullahs. Though they don’t seem to support another Maliki term – they don’t appear ready to throw him overboard just yet either. There is no guarantee they won’t though.

They have even sent Gen Qassem Soleimani into Iraq south of Baghdad to orchestrate a “quelling” of the demonstrations and supposedly to secure Maliki’s safety. However, I am not convinced his ultimate safety is Soleimani’s underlying mission.

This report of Gen. Soleimani being there is limited in it’s scope (how many times/and how it is reported) – so I view this with a healthy dose of skepticism. Also – this frantic move to maintain control over Iraq may well backfire on them. It is becoming clearer and clearer they have some agenda. This is surely not lost on the Iraqi people. Overall, they are typically not happy about external influence – US or Iranian. They don’t like it. One good thing – all of this has forced the Iranians to play their hand in a more public fashion. Now they all know…

Abadi was quoted just recently as saying…

…”the prime minister does not think now in dissent nor undo the reforms, and will not seek to raise Maliki’s name from the list of defendants fall of Mosul.”…

Meaning – he won’t take Maliki’s name out of this report… it will play out.

I don’t see – with the mounting charges, how Maliki survives this barrage. Mosul, Halabja, embezzlement from the CBI, the Speicher massacre, the prison break, it goes on and on and on…

Further – my comments regarding “Maliki as gone” – are clearly “forward looking statements” and ARE IN PROGRESS. Visible progress has been made – for now, Maliki is NOT A VP and is NOT WELCOME in official GOI meetings. Party meetings are one thing. GOI is another thing entirely.

Rather than get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong and what the details are – what about the WHY?? WHY did Abadi move now?? Was it demonstrators?? No – I doubt it very much. Maliki can think he has everyone right where he wants them – but keep in mind this whole campaign of reform was kicked off by the WB/IMF telling Iraq to get their AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and corruption under control (both issues pointed DIRECTLY AT MALIKI). They were given until Oct 1st to get an AML law put in place. It would probably help Abadi to have an Investment Law in place as well.

Thus far Abadi has responded. Judiciary is next. He needs to keep up the pressure...

Does it add any validity to it?  He could refuse all he wants, he is out!  M [Maliki] will be taken care of by the proper authorities…as well as his sidekicks!  Abadi KNOWS that!  IMO he is irrelevant to the reform…Has no power…lost his job…nobody likes him. lol.   Abadi is SAFE!  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

[With all the news that we have read recently, was hoping to get…input on where we are, and where we’re headed.]  … Iraq is moving forward not backwards like some are implying. Yes, I would like to see things move a bit faster… I do have some positive news but I have not had a chance to verify it from additional sources. It is very positive.

Mnt Goat – As we know Maliki traveled to Iran with a delegation from his party. I believe his intent was to defect to Iran since he also traveled with his family. Once there he was asked to return to Iraq. He is now back in Iraq…  Abadi is moving quickly on the clean up of the Judiciary system to get the Judicial Reforms implemented. This will clear the way for any obstacles for many future reform objectives including bringing Maliki and his goons to their final demise thus stopping the stalling of needed legislation to complete the Reconciliation efforts agreed to be completed by mid September. These reforms are moving lightening fast.

Millionday – Article quote:  “The International Monetary Fund forecast on Wednesday, the Iraqi economy growth of 0.5% by the end of this year, thanks to expansion in the oil sector, and increase the contraction of economic activity in the non-oil.”  THE INCREASE OF NON-OIL IS ALL OTHER PRODUCTION OTHER THAN OIL CALCULATED WITH GDP.   THE IMF FIGURES REPRESENT THE ACTIVATED REFORM RESULTS…THE IMF IS HAPPY WITH THE REFORM PACKAGE AND HAS ADJUSTED ALONG WITH REFORMS PREDICTIONS OF GROWTH FOR THIS YEAR.

Seems that if they are using the dollar then we must still be supporting them financially. If that’s the case then they don’t really need to be concerned about the Dinar’s value.]  The CBI runs auctions and uses the dollar to balance the rate. From an RV standpoint it really doesn’t matter that they are using USD and IQD. All that matters is where the CBI sets the rate, because that determines how many USD we get for each Dinar.  Long story short – their use of USD is not a bad thing for us.

Al Maliki steps into Al Hashemi’s shoes

Iraqi Prime Minister Al Abadi still has a long way to go, but he is on the right track

It is a curious twist of irony that the man who pursued the now-fugitive former Iraqi vice-president Tariq Al Hashemi may suffer a similar fate. Iraq’s former premier, and former vice-president Nouri Al Maliki is currently in Iran, where some have suggested that he may never come back from as Baghdad seeks to investigate his role in the fall of Mosul to Daesh (the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) last year. The move was a milestone for the terror group that allowed it to gain much support among radicals around the globe, as well as territory in Iraq and Syria…

Arthur – It should now be blatantly obvious that the one missing piece to the whole RV puzzle is the lack of a Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) in Iraq to release the budget funds to the provinces as well as a myriad other items that the HCL benefits. In light of where we are in the process we can now release breaking news gathered from sources within the process.  Without going into too much minute details, the delay in the full blown release of the next round of reforms was, among other things due to the instability in the political arena in the Kurdistan region. We have information that much of that has now reached a sufficient point of closure that the next round of reforms, including the HCL is now in imminent status with the signing of some documents and release by the PTB.  We are now in a countdown to the full blown economic reform introducing the Iraqi dinar to the international community.

BGG: Wow –

BGG: [the report] – emphasizes that what happened before the fall of Mosul was planned by al-Maliki in order to return to power and picking the third mandate until the door drop Sunni leaders in the western regions and the declaration of emergency law that allows him to control and put the Kurdistan region with a fait accompli,

BGG: which I said over and over – no one cared much (at the time) to listen…

BGG: WOW – as I read this whole report, it strikes me, the reason Maliki is coming back (or has – or will Thursday)… reference is made to the fact, if he stays gone his political influence ends QUICKLY.

Kaperoni – Article:  “Jubouri: The second package of reforms will contain a lot of detailed important decisions”   We can see now that these various committees are being formed to present to the PM reforms. And the second package appears to begin to including banking reforms..specifically mentioned here “guarantee deposits.” This brings me to the committee that met yesterday discussing the currency… We could be seeing the beginning of many steps to improve the economy, strengthen the banking system and improve the value of the currency. It will be interesting to watch these packages of reforms over the next several weeks and how they are implemented.

Millionday – ABADI HAS POSTPONED HIS CHINA VISIT TO ACTIVATE REFORMS…THE TRIP TO CHINA…WAS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF REFORM ACTIVATION…   RIGHT NOW ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ABADI IS TERRORISM AND THE ACTIVATION OF THE REFORMS. THE GOAL IS THE FIRST OF THE MONTH…SEPT 1ST ACCORDING TO REPORT…FOR THE REFORMS TO BE ESTABLISHED HE DID NOT SPECIFY JUST SOME REFORMS — IMO — HE IS STATING ALL REFORMS AS THEY [THE REFORMS] WORK TOGETHER.

wmawhite – […will those bonds be in Dinar…or USD? the international ones?]  The article…reports in IQD.  [is redenominate the same thing as a LOP?]  No…Understanding this, …a LOP would be going in the opposite direction.  Try to understand when a country LOP it is under huge inflation and the currency is losing value daily. Iraq has very little inflation and even the biggest critic will admit that the value of the IQD is much greater than 1166.  [post 2 of 2]

tman23 – BAGHDAD — The head of the committee investigating the fall of Mosul, Hakim al-Zamili has revealed that there is no evidence to suggest KRG President Massoud Barzani or former Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi are accountable the fall of Mosul. It had been rumoured that Barzani and al-Nujaifi were included on the list, but al-Zamili rejected the claims. President Barzani insists that he warned former PM Nouri al-Maliki about the serious threats facing northern Iraq before IS launched their 2014 attacks, but was ignored.…….. Now we wait for the reports that will expose Maliki funneling Iraqi money to Tehran…….And that I assume will go over very well with Iraqi citizens and their fondness for Tehran

wmawhite – Well, well ,well…now the U.S. News and World Report is reporting the same thing:..“US News & World Report – Iraqi selling intl bonds and redominating currency…Reacting to the crisis, Iraq plans to issues bonds worth $7 billion — $5 billion in international bonds… Iraq also revived a long-delayed plan to redenominate the Iraqi dinar by knocking three zeroes off the nominal value of its banknotes, said Ihsan Shamran al-Yassiri, the head of Iraq Central Bank Issuing and Vaults Department”  the significance is that the IQD will be on the bond market. The bond market is twice the size of all of the world’s stock markets combined.   when the IQD is on the bond market the individual bonds are able to move freely.  This is the first step of the IQD reentering the world currency markets. Exciting and nice news. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

tman23 – The new currency must come first as a prelude to the deletion of the 3 zeros from the currency… This is the biggest statement ever made yet so often overlooked! If they are speaking of new lower denoms, then they would need a rate other then 1166…and if they come first, then the 3 zero notes will carry high value before removing the 3 zeros at the exchange window…what is the time limit…72 hrs…7 days…who knows…but it is possible! The other scenario is seeing a 50,000 note come in October…if that hits the streets then it is not looking good no matter how anyone tries to spin it… Make no mistake…the world is on the edge of financial disasters… it is real and live! There are 33 consulates now opened in Erbil… All these countries are lining up at the feeding trough…IMO it is bigger then Iraq…something BIG is being prepared… and TIME IS A FACTOR!
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – The Monetary Reform remains in front of us.  It is our opinion that Dr. S [Shabibi] will be returning but we just don’t know when.  Again, IOO (In Our Opinion) the reforms will need an RI to start them.  From the article earlier today, “Let it Float”….this will put things in the hands of the international world and with this will come a faster rise in the rate…IOO.  With the actions being taken by PM Abadi in the form of his reforms expect to see the removal of many things, people, policies, laws, etc. he will make sure that nothing stands in the way of his reforms as we move forward.

Iraq: Report on fall of Mosul to ISIS calls for ex-PM Maliki to face trial

Others implicated include former acting defense minister and Mosul’s governor



Baghdad, Reuters—
Iraq’s parliament on Monday referred to the judiciary a report calling for the trial of former prime minister Nuri Al-Maliki and dozens of other top officials in connection with the fall of Mosul to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) last year, two lawmakers said…

Kaperoni – Article quote:  “Iraqi Center for Development and Media systems and in coordination with the Office of the Prime Minister workshop economic entitled (to float the Iraqi dinar and its impact on the economy)… discussed the workshop the importance of the advancement of the Iraqi economic reality and its impact on the Iraqi citizen, where participants put forward many ideas and perceptions that the Iraqi government included in the economic reform plan, including the issue of the float of the Iraqi dinar”  it’s not new…its the decision that was made a few years back over the previous plan (which may have been a LOP) and to go to a more gradual appreciation as stated in the 2013 Article IV Consultation. This panel may just be reviewing the conditions, circumstances, etc to see if the timing is appropriate for the CBI to act. Who knows, but the discussion is good anyway you look at it.

Breitling – They [the CBI] are telling business and local banks to stop doing business with Iran…the main reason why is they [Iran] are trying to pump US dollars into iraq because they know they [Iraq] are trying to add value to the dinar and they [Iran] know one of the tools to keep the value of the dinar down was the US dollar…it’s a back door confirmation of what the intent is of what Iraq wants to do.   They are cutting Iran off at the knees.  It’s one thing if the CBI can scoop up those dollars and put them into the reserves…that’s a good thing but there is so much that they’re having a problem with it.  And it will keep the value of the dinar down if they don’t tackle it.

BGG – Article quote:  “President of the parliamentary Economic Committee, Dr. Haitham al-Jabouri, an elite group of advisers, experts and academics…included within the plan of economic reforms and the issue of Iraqi dinar to float where participants set Of recommendations to be submitted to the Office of the Prime Minister.”  Keep in mind…though high powered – this is a group of experts who got together and talked things over…(not the Gov of CBI or PM)…and are (or have) forwarding their idea(s) to Abadi…I am not sure “float” is the singular though – it is not impossible they could be talking about the IQD “going up”…My point is this – the translation “float” could be easily better “characterized” as “going up”…That is the STUNNER…  [Do you think its possible they still haven’t decided how they are going to do this? meaning open to suggestions?]  For sure – they haven’t even fully regained control of their own CBI yet… anything is possible.  more than whatever it is they are saying – is the “weirdly coincidental” timing of these few articles coming out…right around this “period of reform” by Abadi…this seems to be a time of “rapid change” – so things could unfold very, very quickly.

Frank26 – Tomorrow [Tuesday], YOU ARE GOING TO SEE UGLINESS…change is coming and it will be BRUTAL UGLY…BUT IT STARTED… The reform is going to be brutal starting tomorrow that’s necessary…   This time this cleaning is really at a warped speed…we’re talking DAYS…and it’s leading us to OCTOBER 1ST.   We feel that to be a deadline for the currency reform under the umbrella of the monetary reformations that lead to the lifting of the 000’s.   [post 3 of 3]

Poppy3 – TOLD YA’LL…WHAT THE OFFICIAL WORDS WERE AND NOT ANYTHING EVER BEEN SAID BY ANY OFFICIAL SINCE THEN…$3.22 PLUS UP TO 20% MORE FOR INFLATION WHICH COULD ADD UP TO .64 CENTS MORE.  NOW FOR ALL THOSE THINKING THEY WILL COME OUT LOW AND GO UP ASK THEM TO SHOW YOU ANYTHING FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY HAVE Anything to do with setting the rate HAS SAID ANYTHING DIFFERENT.  THEY CAN’T.  IT’S NEVER HAPPENED…WOULD A LOW RATE BE $3.22 AND NOT ADD ANY INFLATION RATE TO IT?  FOOD FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.   …JUST THE FACTS…ONLY STATED FACTS BY THE DIRECT PEOPLE THAT SET THE RATE.

Frank26 – Let me talk about a BLACK LIST…it’s about removing the 000’s.  THEY CAN PUT THEM ON THE BLACKLIST – if we don’t see anything in a monetary reform change…the currency will be put on a black list – …if it doesn’t happen by Oct. 1st… it would be disastrous for the monetary reform…  The international currency is the ONLY SOLUTION TO AVOID BEING PUT ON A BLACK LIST, IMO.   There’s lots of soldiers that are in Iraq to protect the new government. It’s going to become a democratic country – Insurgents don’t like that hipocrasy as long as they work with the new government. Our boots on the ground is to protect a new justice that’s about to come to bear.  JUSTICE….and the reinstatement of many reforms.  [post 2 of 3….stay tuned]

Round Table Chat w/BGG 8-17-15

Thanks to DinarRecaps.com for posting Round Table with BGG 

BGG: Jubouri: We have no right to delete any name from Mosul report

BGG: The head of the parliament Saleem al-Jubouri, on Monday, the House of Representatives does not have the right to delete any name mentioned in the report of the fall of Mosul, while pointing out that the report was written neutrally and did not exclude a paragraph or a name and did not succumb to pressure…

BGG: This piece was all about the mention of Maliki as the key figure in the report.

BGG: he and his people wanted his name off it and those currently in charge wouldn’t take his name off…

BGG: Very cool piece.

Robl: Do we know where Maliki is at the present? Iran, Iraq?

BGG: I am suspicious – he may be in Iran.

Frank26 – …on Tuesday our teams called us and said…the only way to get the MR [Monetary Reform] is for Mr. S [Shabibi] to come back!  In my strong opinion, Dr. Shabibi has been the quarter back, but… Dr. S said two years ago I got kicked out by Maliki – do you think I’m going to come back while he’s there? Of course not.  Six months ago, Abadi asked Dr. Shabibi to come back – but he said not under these conditions. Once I know the banks are secure and Aleck gone and get rid of Maliki’s son too…Dr. Shabibi said if you BUILD THIS FOR ME, I’ll be back…and I see that you’ve built what I want.  …SOCIAL MEDIA, YOUTUBE…you can find “keywords” there…when you see “KEYWORD” substitute DR. SHABIBI…IMO.   Speculation of Dr. Shabibi being arrested…That’s BS.   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

wmawhite – The discussion about what type of notes are used on the streets is totally different from a discussion about the yet to be announced international exchange rate. There will be one international exchange rate for the IQD which is only applicable outside the country. That will in turn determine the type and size of the note to be used in country.  Folks, what you can take away from this discussion and that article is that the citizens are being told to expect changes in the currency they will use on the streets and why?  Because, the IQD will be put on the world currency market and the new value of the IQD will affect the type of note they will use inside Iraq. Plain and simple. [If the IQD does float, will there be value added & then it floats or will it float from 1166? If it floats from 1166 will there be demand for the IQD at that level?]  The CBI will never tell what they will do until after it is implemented. We will know the same time the rest of the world currency markets know.   [post 2 of 2]

Millionday – Article quote:  “…economist member of the Baghdad forum Amer Jeweler for the purpose of implementation of the reform professionalism and rigorous and serious action to achieve meaningful actual results immediately reflected on the economy and the citizen and the future of the country…”  JEWELER IS REQUESTING FOR ALL ECONOMISTS TO ABADI THAT THE BEST EXPERTS ARE IN PLACE FOR THE REFORM PACKAGE ACTIVATION SO NO MISTAKES ARE MADE.  THE REFORMS MUST BE DONE PROFESSIONALLY ENOUGH THAT THEY PRODUCE AN IMMEDIATE RESULT ON THE ECONOMY.  [“PRODUCE AN IMMEDIATE RESULT ON THE ECONOMY” and “LARGE FOOTPRINT (IMPACT)”  These don’t sound like slowly rate increase to me; these sound like a…RV overnight.]  IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE HOPING FOR AND EVEN HAVE PLANNED FOR IN THE REFORMS A HUGE IMPACT TO THE ECONOMY —VERY ENCOURAGING AND EXCITING TO SEE THE REPORTS.

So that article was telling the citizens that they should expect to have additional purchasing power equal to $75.00 where it used to be only $25.00…additionally, they are being reminded that the large notes will gradually go away…but they will have 3 times the purchasing power.  the CBI has over and over emphaized that the three zeros notes will continue to be legal tender…but has to [as the?] prices in the economy are reduced the need for the large notes go away and are replaced with LDs.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Investors Leery of Upcoming Iraqi Bond Despite New Credit Rating”  When these bonds are floated onto the market my bet is they will be scarfed up as quick as they come into play…the Fitch rating if it still exists at that level will not hold back those who are interested in investing…this is a high stakes high risk game and there will be those rollers who feel the dice are hot in favor of Iraq right now and they will put big money into play for the potential to win big…bigger than seen in recent years…watch for it…times are exciting.

tlm724 – Article quote:  “Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has sent two letters to the Integrity Commission to have this commission immediately begin investigating on a number of corruption files”   I have been waiting for this!  Quote:  “According to these sources Haider al-Abadi has emphasized on opening the corruption files of Ahmad Maliki, the son of Maliki. Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered…”  that doesn’t mean it’s so but we need to watch for any further developments!  all institutions are under the spot light and lets not forget that Maliki appointed Ali Alak as CBI governor after Turki.

Millionday – Article quotes: “Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has sent two letters to the Integrity Commission to have this commission immediately begin investigating on a number of corruption files regarding Nouri Maliki and Baha al-Araji.”  “Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered, according to al-Baghdadiya.”  SO OBVIOUSLY WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES — SO I WILL SAY THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE VERIFIED IS THROUGH ACTION.  [Did I read that correctly!? “Orders for the arrest of former Iraqi Central Bank director Sanan al-Shabibi has also been ordered…”   I thought Abadi helped Dr. S to get out of charges late last year?]   THE HEAD OF CBI IS APPOINTED BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE — WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHERE IT GOES WITH SHABIBI — I CANNOT VERIFY THIS.

Al-kinani said in a statement: “the decisions of the Government and parliamentary reform has two dimensions, economic dimension because it represents a step towards addressing the SAG of the administrative and financial functioning of the State institutions including the Government itself, as well as another political dimension of such decisions will pave to cancel quota confessional that has made the country a standstill.”

firefly – IMO Abadi and Shabibi are in the same boat. Each is paddling in unison towards one goal.  Remember…it was Abadi that forced the courts to remove all previous charges brought on Shabibi from Maliki.  Shabibi has NEVER been OFFICIALLY replaced…just a bunch of proxy (fillers) for the position.  …according to the old constitution…the CBI Governor had to be voted in by Parliament.  Maliki to my understanding never had the power to appoint a permanent Governor.

I mean where do we fit in the scheme of things? ONE OF THE REPORTS WE HAD ANNOUNCED THAT WITH THE REFORM LAW BEING PASSED THE IMPORTANT LAWS WERE PASSED TOO — SO AT THIS POINT MANY THINGS ARE NOT BEING RELEASED — WE DONT HAVE A DATE OR RATE AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE OR A GUARANTEE BUT — SO MANY THINGS HAVE MOVED FORWARD FROM WHERE WE WERE — HUGE PROGRESS.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – I believe Abadi has a new target – that of the Judiciary and Court System of Iraq.  Abadi must deal with the judiciary now in order to get some of these other laws passed and properly deal with much of the corruption.  So how do you judiciously deal with corruption in your ministries if the court system itself is corrupt?   …Iraq had to be sorted out by Abadi and priorities placed, a plan was designed. He is taking on one bite at a time and being cautious. He now has support (and continues) to have support of the citizens in this work that lays ahead. We know without a shadow of a doubt that there will be no RV without Amnesty and other laws. This is given facts to us. So to get these needed laws implemented Abadi must clean up the crocked judiciary system (as well as his ministers).  Abadi has gotten momentum from the protestors and so it is time now to move forward on these judicial reforms and we should all be jumping up and down with joy. We have waited soooo long for this to happen.

Iraq Prime Minister requests for opening of corruption files of Nouri Maliki & his son Ahmad Maliki

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi

Al Baghdadiya TV broadcasted the following report on Thursday, August 13th citing Iraqi government sources:

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has sent two letters to the Integrity Commission to have this commission immediately begin investigating on a number of corruption files regarding Nouri Maliki and Baha al-Araji. The most important of these files is equipping the army with weapons, selling foreign currency in the Central Bank and granting loans to the provinces…

We see them in the banking sector, security sector, economic sector, area of reconciliation, inter-governmental and international trade (tariffs and customs), etc. Soon they will have to also complete the CURRENCY reforms we have long been waiting for very soon. It’s all coming to an end shortly. Be patient and give them time. Abadi has built up enough incredible confidence enough that they can now rid themselves of Maliki and his goons. Once he is gone they can move very quickly to where they need to go.

wmawhite – …you ought to know the reason why PM Abadi is making all of these changes which is primarily cleaning up the corruption. And why is he doing this? Because unless he does the rest of the world will NOT do business with Iraq. If the world will not do business in Iraq then it doesn’t matter what value Iraq put on its currency, it will still not be worth anything. So, you ought to feel very good why PM Abadi is making these changes, it is because Iraq is getting ready to introduce the IQD to the world currency markets.
______________________________________________________________

Millionday – THE REFORMS BEING PASSED IS GOING TO OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND ECONOMIC REALITY.  …REFORMS CAME WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF GOV PROGRAMS AS WELL…THEY EXPECT THE REFORMS TO ADVANCE THE ECONOMY…THEY NEED ALL LAWS FACED TODAY AND TOMORROW TO EXPEDITE THE MARKET ECONOMY AND THE REFORMS COMPLETELY.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – Going back in time I also want to remind you that about 6 months ago Abadi asked Dr Shabibi to return to the CBI.  However Dr Shabibi gave him a list of requirement in order for him to come back. One condition was for him to be reinstated “officially” and with a public announcement. The second was that he wanted it clear that there would be no more interference by the finance ministry in the duties of the CBI. In other words a clear separation of duties. The third was that he required all his former staff to be exonerated of all crimes.  Abadi does not like proxy positions. But in order to seat his government in time a year ago he had to use a couple proxy positions…  I believe he is going to clean house in the finance ministry and the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) next. Remember he was the former deputy finance minister so he knows very well what is going on in these areas. He knows the necessity of increasing the value of the currency and he knows why it has been stalled. But it not all about the currency. It is all about creating an overall political environment where Iraq can prosper. Currency reform is just a byproduct.  So what is the main proxy position now being held in the CBI? Enough said…  [post 2 of 2]

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – Over the weekend Abadi came out with some sweeping reforms…the most sweeping reforms…the elimination of the 3 Vice presidencies and their 3 deputy positions. Not only is Iraq saving expenditures but strategically Abadi has set the stage for the next move… There would have to be a constitutional change in order to allow this to happen since these positions are mandated by it. This vote took place on Tuesday and it passed. I believe they are moving towards the “official” appointment of Ayad Allawi as head of the Federation Council and the final demise of Nori al-Maliki since he lost his immunity in this recent move. ALL politicians are no longer sanctioned by immunity and will suffer the full brunt of consequences for any corruption. Maliki and his goons had to be neutralized for any RV to happen. We were told this week there would be yet another set of reforms sent to parliament for a vote on Thursday.  I believe this second set of reforms are the laws to complete the Reconciliation Reforms we have been waiting for so long. They will be presenting them to parliament again as a “package” of laws to vote on. Remember we are in mid month August already, the end of 1 year term for Abadi. He had to have all the reconciliation efforts completed in this timeframe. So I do not believe it will take much longer to see this second package of reforms.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

They need to meet others requirements. They can not make up their own requirements.  [I just don’t see how they can implement the Tariffs again without a rate though.]   True…the tariffs is one of those indicators that point to purchasing power…the need for it.  There are the tariffs, and taxes, international bonds sold on the retail market that require a free moving currency…all are indicators.  IMO, Iraq is preparing for something that will permit them to move the IQD onto the world economic stage. When this event is ready they need the tarifs ready, the taxes ready and the bonds ready to go.

Iraqi leader wins backing for reforms but walks a dangerous line

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to back a package of measures aimed at stamping out corruption and government overspending, opening the way for the biggest overhaul of the country’s political system since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003…

…Ali al-Alaq, a senior politician with Abadi’s Dawa party, cited a “new reality” and spirit of cooperation from Iraq’s fractious political blocs.

Abadi drafted the reform package as soon as Iraq’s leading Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, gave his support to the demonstrations, Alaq said, ramping up pressure on the government to act.

“It wasn’t panic, but a realization of the urgent need to correct the political process,” the legislator said. “The prime minister had always demanded reform but faced opposition from political blocs, but now that the people and the clerics are behind him, it’s an opportunity to act.”Alaq acknowledged, however, that moving forward would not be easy.

“This is the nature of human beings. They don’t give up easily when their interests are harmed,” he said.

(Alak is also the current Gov of the CBI – very strange comments by him – to be sure…)…

Bluwolf – Much positive news coming out of Iraq, people have been displaced, separated and arrested…The final cleanup on aisle 5 is in full throttle. All borders for dinar export are most definitely closed. All broker or dealers have been informed to stop the movement of sales. All TRN are officially golden standard.   We are now anxious awaiting this final phone call.  It all squares down to this part of the ride. It is finally on the US best interest to give the signal on this impending GCR and 204 Country Revaluation. The hyperinflation speech is well past due and must be announced shortly without further ado…These are my views on our current situation here and abroad. Please have all your paperwork ready for we await a high government official signal and that is in that happening
______________________________________________________________

tman23 – [How on earth, can a non-tradeable currency be tracked on Forex and also be traded?]  What does the exchange rate show on the CBI site…That is the official rate…and it will fluctuate right along with the forex IF and WHEN the IQD is being traded on the forex.
______________________________________________________________

Delta – We are about to see the dinar go international – and we don’t want to see corruption in the currency. Whatever numbers come in will help the GOI, CBI, the banks, the budget, etc. I think Abadi knew about this a long time ago. He was waiting to get the full support.  So why is Maliki not in prison? Because we are waiting for the reform and then you’ll see that happen. I am so excited about what we are seeing right now.   I believe we are super, super close.  Confidence with investors will continue to increase.   The citizens cannot take it anymore and Abadi knows it. He really cares about his own people. It’s amazing. Everyone is waiting in line for one thing  and Abadi knows that too. The people want to make a good living, they want good jobs. How can Abadi do that without currency reform? He can’t. We are on the verge of something big coming up.

Frank26 – During the last 4-5 days…the “displaced” funds…all funds that were embezzled…the funds are coming back to Iraq.  All that was stolen is pouring back into the banks into Iraq. It is the start of the RI …that is what we are focusing on. Abadi wants to work for the people…All of the “issues” that have plagued Iraq don’t matter anymore – it’s time for the people…time for the citizens.  So the IMF told them to get rid of Alak (the acting Governor of the CBI). There is a massive round-up of corruption…that is what is needed to raise the value of the currency.  Iraq has big assets and they must come out as an RI and then into an RV.  [post 2 of 2]

BGG – [is it safe to assume that after this big shakeup in the goi that there will be a cool down period where not much gets done.]  not according to Zebari and everyone else – this thing is just now getting wound up!!   
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – Last week we talked about the BONDS – phase 1 and phase 2.  Those BONDS were a “test-run”.  Finch released its credit rating for Iraq  which was a “B-” and Jabouri was not excited about this because he was expecting an “A” but because Iraq hasn’t completed Article 8 (which they had the Green-Light to do)… this was a warning shot to Iraq.  Until Dr. Shabibi lifts the currency of Iraq there is a BLOCKAGE at the CBI. So they held a meeting… In the meeting (last Saturday)…the IMF said to the CBI (basically Dr. Shabibi) “…you should have qualified for Article 8 by now…?”  With that said we’re going to start a massive round-up of corruption   (which has started…)   All corrupt officials have been dealt with. Maliki tried to flee Iraq but he was stopped. All of his cars, money… everything is now in possession of the GOI and the GOI’s laws.  SECURITY kills corruption!  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Iraq’s parliament approves reform plan in rare show of unity

http://apne.ws/1TjSaQ0  #AP #Iraq

______________________________________________________________

BGG – Article quote:  “Revealed reliable sources from within the Baghdad International Airport that Nuri al-Maliki tried to leave Iraq to Syria on a private jet in secret…”    MALIKI IS TRYING TO LEAVE IRAQ TO SYRIA IN SECRET.   Looks like Maliki is “refusing” to step down…he’s toast…things are very hot on the homefront for Maliki.   …him “refusing to step down” (IMO) will only speed his demise. why is all of this important?  Maliki being dealt with directly and completely opens the door wide for all kinds of reform – Monetary Reform being at the very top of the list.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni – …opening the banking system to the world is clearly what international organizations (IMF/WB) are helping Iraq with.  And surely, those decisions are discreet.  Sounds to me Abadi is going to allow the process to move forward.  Hopefully very soon!
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 – Article:  “Abadi confirms that there are other packages of reforms at the same level”  Get ready citizens of Iraq…there are more reforms being worked at this moment…more reforms than just the sacking of certain government officials who may have been caught in the corruption roundup…reforms that will bring an end to terrorist threats… reforms that will ensure more jobs and improvements in living conditions…watch for these efforts at the same time the government is undergoing its huge reform as well.
______________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________

tman23 – I was told today……..and by 2 sources …….one in conversation and one by email where a form that was attached that I do not believe was intended to be………. And that being said……. The information coming forth is October 6th is the release of “integregated and coordinated implementation” ………..and I won’t go on BUT to include RV would be my speculation…….  I was told……and I repeat I was told……and I will say this teller of stories is no fable…….. that nothing moves until this is post 2015 is complete…… and I have a document that leads to October 6th as being the start of 2016…
______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 – Corruption is being given a swift kick in the butt and security is being locked in for all practical purposes…Maliki tried to test the border and airport security and was caught at the Baghdad Airport as he tried to leave…wait he admitted he was only meeting President Masum…guess his driver took a wrong turn as they left the Green Zone…Oh I could so easily go on and on about all the good that is coming from the actions that Abadi decreed over the weekend.  For anyone in the government who might be thought of as remotely tied to anything to do with corruption PM Abadi has brought the hammer down on their ability to travel…oh indeed their wings have been clipped…   [post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 – If Abadi’s gamble pays off, the 9th of August 2015 may in hindsight be remembered as a momentous day in Iraq’s history, to outweigh the eventful regime change of the 9th of April 2003…indeed we are watching a historical event unfold!    …in a bid to end the sectarian quota-system, marks a potential watershed in Iraq’s political history and its future.  I am loving this plan, a moment in time when everything changes!  …if the MP’s fight this reform it will be political suicide! They will essentially point the corruption finger at themselves!  …in other words if you have nothing to hide then you should support this plan fully!  …I pray parliament does the right thing here and I really do think they will!   Sure we have seen green lights and on some days we have had our hopes crushed BUT this is truly the turning point for Iraq and for us as investors in their country.  With a thriving economy comes a more valued dinar, it is the law of economics!  [post 2 of 2]

Bold move by Iraqi PM to tackle corruption could mean ‘new era’

http://news.ae/1PeVpCu 

Embedded image permalink

______________________________________________________________

Aggiedad77 – The news the past 24 to 48 hours has been fire-brand hot so to speak…so much about reformatting the government… doing away with key positions which include the three VP’s and three Deputy PM’s and a host of other high level positions…The elimination of some ministries or combining of ministries to stream line some operations…PM Abadi is definitely being courageous and bold all at once, and he’s not waiting long for what others might think of his actions…many in key positions of Parliament and with political blocs are verbalizing their agreement with his actions…So any “vote” that might need to be forthcoming from Parliament over his actions seem to be a foregone conclusion that he will find the necessary support.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

tlm724 – It seems that the 12 years crescendo of politicization, sectarianism and mismanagement has finally reached its climax.  The mid boiling temperature of Iraq’s sweltering summer and daily terrorist attacks did not stop the masses from coming out and saying enough is enough…the Iraqi people have called upon Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to dissolve parliament, hunt down corrupted politicians and deliver public services.  The peoples’ call upon Abadi to implement radical reform, backed with Grand Ayatollah Sistani’s absolute support for the PM…the supeme religious leader gave his blessing to Abadi! Never before has that be done!  If Abadi succeeds in his mission-impossible, he could go down in history as the Nelson Mandela of Iraq.  If he succeeds will depend on parliament and we cannot expect this to go absolutely perfectly, expect their to be fighting within BUT I truly believe this will pass in the end!  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

______________________________________________________________

Breitling – The Iraqi Journal has talked about how they got the note count down to 6 billion and then 4 billion and their goal is to get to a billion…so you have to know these things to know where the value is going to be gained in the dinar…What’s one of the proofs?  …Liquidity is drying up…There are things to watch, liquidity.  There are ‘tells’ of something coming down the road and you are seeing it.   Instead of being paranoid and scared you should be…very very happy and can’t believe it’s actually coming down the road after all these years.  the signals and signs are liquidity.

Kaperoni – Article quote:  “Roudao – Arbil, the voice of the Iraqi Council of Ministers unanimously, during the special meeting held on Sunday, the first package of reforms presented by the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.”  This article describes the reforms Abadi has planned. Though promising and a very big step in the right direction we must refrain from being overly excited because nothing happens fast in Iraq. As well, these recent decisions are not a trigger for some mythical RV…What it will do is begin to create a “climate” that eventually will lead the gradual rise in the dinar as the economy grows and investors/investment comes into Iraq.
______________________________________________________________

tman23 – Speaker Yousif Mohammed of the KRG Parliament legally can and most likely will take over Barzani’s duties after August 20th for 2 months until a NEW President can be elected… This appears to be more timing that coincides with the removal of Maliki etc… The problem in Iraq has been at the top…and the musical chairs game…same players making the same troubled arguments without positive outcomes… Recall that Maliki wanted a third term because Barzani was getting a third term… They both will be out of the political picture…Barzani will be a force in Kurdistan behind the scenes, Maliki on the other hand has been delivered his political bankrupt papers… AND since my last update on consulates in Kurdistan 3 weeks ago of 27…There are now 33 that are official… RV or no RV…foreign countries are setting up for business relations…it certainly isn’t for tourism. 
______________________________________________________________

Arthur – SO WHATEVER THESE DISCREET “SECRET” NEW FINANCIAL STRATEGIES ARE THEY HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED WITH HELP FROM THE WB/IMF/UN/PTBThis and all of these reforms are with the complete cooperation of the Kurds, the proven to be supremely influential religious authority, and all ministries and does not have to be voted on by Parliament. So whatever this is, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out, it is not just being called for but about to be implemented immediately. [post 2 of 2]

Iraq Live Update ‏@IraqLiveUpdate  18h18 hours ago

Moqtada Al-Sadr says he will call his followers to ‘fill the streets’ if Abadi’s reform bill is stopped

______________________________________________________________

Enorrste – Article:  “Iraq PM Proposes Abolishing Vice Presidencies in Reform Push”   If this works it will be a very smart play on Abadi’s part.  The fly in the ointment is that he needs both his own ministries approval as well as Parliament’s approval to move forward.  His argument, however, is excellent:  it will both save money in the government that can go for needed services, but will also eliminate a number of positions which are clearly corrupt in the government.  From the articles it appears that more than just 3 vice presidencies are being eliminated.  He would move some other governmental positions away from the parties who now control them through patronage, reduce personal body guards, and, presumably, make other changes that could streamline the government significantly.  The question of the day:  how will Maliki respond to this?
______________________________________________________________

Arthur – ALTHOUGH ABOLISHING THE VP POSITION WHICH EFFECTIVELY SHOWS MALIKI THE DOOR IS HUGE,  OUT OF ALL THE ABADI REFORMS THIS IS THE ONE THAT CAUGHT MY EYE AS FAR AS US IS CONCERNED: NOW KEEP IN MIND THIS REFORM IS UNDER THE HEADING OF “FINANCIAL”:  3. activation strategies discreet work prepared by State institutions, including in particular what has been achieved in cooperation with international organizations.  activation strategies discreet work prepared by State institutions  SO THEY ARE GONNA ACTIVATE SOME NEW FINANCIAL STRATEGIES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE DISCRETELY OR “SECRETLY”…AND including in particular what has been achieved in cooperation with international organizations. [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
______________________________________________________________

Frank26 – …you see no ratings from Moody nor Standards & Poors…Why? These agencies 100% of the time release their ratings in unison – that’s how the rating system works.  The B- was a warning shot to bring security into Iraq. They need to RI – it’s as simple as that. But…know that they can RI at 1166.  But…based on what we are seeing, it would be insane to consider such action and since the removal of Hussein, security has now blossomed in Iraq and we pray that the monetary reform of the IQD will soon blossom too.
______________________________________________________________

Breitling – You don’t even need to listen to them you don’t even need to be curious.  You’ll know when it’s time to EXCHANGE your currency…NOT “cash in” but exchange your currency.    Where is the Iraqi government going to come up with all these dollars to “cash in” all these Iraqi dinars?  It’s not a “cash in” it’s an exchange.  It’s an equivalent value exchanged for the equivalent value.  Not only that it’s not going to be cash.  Most of it’s going to be  going into your bank account as credit.  It’s always worked this way.    [Post 2 of 2]
______________________________________________________________

BGG – Article Quote:  “The prime minister Haider al-Abadi had announced earlier in the day about the most important actions to be taken by the most important part of his reform plan to reduce ministries and cancel key positions of the Republic and the Vice-Minister.”   Maliki’s VP position ELIMINATED!!   …he’s OUT.  [how can they eliminate a political position such as that?]  he just did – and he’s getting lots of support – Parliament leadership, Barzani (Kurds), Clerics, everyone jumped right out to support Abadi. My contention has always been once Maliki is gone – Alak will either grow a brain or be gone as well…  […do you think this will this prolong the RV…?]  I don’t think it slows anything down – it probably moves things forward.
______________________________________________________________

Chattels – Article quote:  “the need for the House of works MPs and ministers to support Prime Minister al-Abadi by voting on the latest decisions… ”   Maliki is not gone. The Parliament must act and vote by a two-thirds majority to accomplish the abolishment of the constitutional offices of vice president(s) and deputy prime minister (s).

We will see soon enough – won’t we??

Millionday – Article quote:  “…al-Abadi said that the Cabinet will take the inter decisions to improve financial and political level and correct government action paths…”  THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY ABADI IS TO MOVE FORWARD RIGHT AWAY IN REFORMS — ALL TO IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL LEVEL.  ABADI HAS BEEN ASKED BY THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY TO SHOW COURAGE WITH IN THE REFORMS AND MOVE FORWARD.  …MANY THINGS ARE GOING ON IN ALL SECTORS AND AVENUES ACCORDING TO NEWS.
______________________________________________________________

My Ladies – THE CABINET HAD A MEETING TO DAY IN AN EFFORT TO CALM DOWN THE DEMONSTRATIONS.  ABADI LISTENED TO THE CONCERNS AND AS A RESULT HE IS TRIMMING THE FAT. RIGHT NOW HE IS CUTTING ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ALL STATE OFFICIALS AND THE THREE PRESIDENCIES MINISTERS AND PARLIAMENTARY MEMBERS.  SO SORRY MALIKI HATERS THE ACTUAL POSITIONS NEED TO BE DISSOLVED THROUGH CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION BUT THE EXTRAS CAN BE REMOVED.  HE CAN DISMISS HIS MINISTERS AND VICE MINISTERS BUT THAT’S AS FAR AS HE CAN GO.  THE VICE PRESIDENTS REQUIRE TIME TO REMOVE AND IS OUT OF THE HANDS OF ABADI. THE SPENDING ON THEIR SECURITIES CAN BE CUT HOWEVER.  ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION …HE DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE…EXCESSIVE SPENDING AND PRIVLEDGES HE CAN STOP…HE CAN NOT REWRITE THE CONSTITUTION.
______________________________________________________________

tman23 – …. I recall an article where as Zebari said he was hoping for a rating better than a D…….  That in itself says were “scr****” …. It does appear that what Lord Ashfield said in the meeting with Shaways in London….. Iraq needs credit to rebuild, and if the thought is it can be done with cash and pay as you go your government will not last the citizens demands. That being said; I believe we are seeing the strings attached by the IMF and World Bank which sets the stage… The requirements start with reducing a bloated government and state dependent society….. The reduction of 30 trillion IQD etc is because they allocate 1% of such to infrastructure and the rest has shown to disappear…… The interesting part to all this is the cancellation of implementing all contracts except military arms…… GREAT NEWS……. Because opening new loans and contracts with the 3 zeros opens a whole new can of worms…..

______________________________________________________________

tlm724 – Huge news! First that there was a unanimous vote, that must be a first and second we are witnessing history being made! Prime Minister Abadi just sent out a statement about abolishing the posts of the 3 Vice Presidents, that would be Maliki, Allawi and Najafi! The corrupt are falling finally!
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni – Article:  “Cabinet voted unanimously to reform paper in the presence of 31 ministers”      So it’s official!  Maliki is out.  The CoM approved the changes in the government including the removal of Maliki!  Wooohooo.
______________________________________________________________

tman23 – Regarding time tables…It appears that October 1st is central to a host of world events including Iraq International Bond offering. I could give 5 major scheduled events off hand… I’m not saying a IQD RV is part of those changes, or removing the 3 zeros… There is no denying October as a world date…

Frank26 – The CR (Credit Rating) was issued at a B minus but given as STABLE.  Moody and Finch is the first to report this last night. The other agencies are waiting for instructions.  It is NOW Iraq’s Sovereign CR. Jabouri wanted a higher CR but he understands this is the start of adding value and that is the focus right now for the currency.  The RI is being kicked in iMO and the B is the RI phase that will take us into the RV.  We have information that this Saturday meeting may be bigger than most meetings by the CBI. Why is it at a hotel with luxury for thousands that are coming…why the royal treatment? Why at the same moment the IMF reiterates that Alack is only the acting governor of the CBI for now? Why is the GREEN ZONE blocked again today? Why is Abadi letting the protestors have their way against the corrupt officials of their country?  Why did the defense minister arrest 35 last night? Why is the GOI scattering like cockroaches? Abadi dismissed all of M’s followers and they are not getting paid by the GOI.  Many small things are leading to one big thing.  IMO…the thousands that will show up at the Sheraton tomorrow [Saturday] may be that the CBI is announcing…”open for business”.

ARTHUR – NOT SO SURE TOMORROW WILL BE SIGNIFICANT BUT WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RIGHT NOW IS ALL THIS UNREST ALL OF A SUDDEN IN IRAQ. WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO EGYPT AND WHAT HAPPENED TO KHADAFI IN LIBYA…THESE THINGS CAN SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL REALLY FAST AND THEY KNOW THAT. RIGHT NOW SISTANI AND THE CHEST SADR ARE SAYING TO KEEP IT PEACEFUL BUT THAT WILL NOT LAST MUCH LONGER IMO. WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS ELECTRICITY AND NO TAXES (WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION) ACCUSING THE GOVERNMENT OF RAMPANT CORRUPTION…ALL TELL TALE SIGNS OF AN ARAB SPRING STYLE HOSTILE OVERTHROW OF THE GOI. WHILE WE DON’T SEE SIGNS DEMANDING AN RV….WHAT THEY ARE DEMANDING IS PURCHASING POWER IN THE FORM OF DEMANDING THERE BE NO TAXES AND TARIFFS AND THE SINCE THERE HAS TO BE TAXES AND TARIFFS FOR A MARKET ECONOMY TO EXIST….THE ONLY WAY TO OFFSET THE BURDEN IS AN RV. YES, I STILL THINK THE AUGUST/SEPT SHOULD MAKE SOMETHING POP OR EITHER THE WHOLE HOUSE OF CARDS COULD VERY WELL COLLAPSE AND I JUST DONT THINK THE PTB IS GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN…WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE INVESTED IN THIS WHOLE PLAN A LOT OF MEETINGS ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND FROM WHAT I’M HEARING WE MAY BEGIN TO SEE SUDDEN MOVEMENT ON THE HCL WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE AND STILL THINK MUST BE IMPLEMENTED FOR THERE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT REVALUATION OF THE CURRENCY. I’M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME KINDA MAJOR SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENTS AS EARLY AS WITHIN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. REMEMBER THAT THE UN HAS GIVEN THEM UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER TO HAVE THEIR ENTIRE MR COMPLETED AND IMPLEMENTED MAKING AUG/SEPT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WINDOW TO DATE – IMO.

Nova – What have we seen as for Passing Power To The Provinces?  Much of the same, it is being slow played “We must do to slowly “. IMO we will not see this fully implemented till the new mechanism is in place.  Now those wonderful Bonds that create so much confusion. Can we find anything on them?  NO! Not a word from anyone. Why? IMO this also requires the new mechanism be in place before these Bonds can be sold!  What do we see happening Globally right now?  We see A New System/ Mechanism being brought on line with many countries Right Now!  Really…as of July 31!  Never in the history of Iraq have we seen what we are seeing right now!  So what is my Opinion? It is this, It is clear to me that Iraq’s Government and its Central Bank is Waiting! Waiting for the New System to get to them so it can turn on Its New Mechanism and start doing what the world wants it to do!  And what do we know…THAT THE NEW SYSTEM HAS BEEN TURNED ON SO IT JUST DOWN TO TIMING FOR IRAQ!  [post 2 of 2]

Kaperoni – Article quote:  “The Central Bank, on Friday, ready to announce the launch of five trillion dinars loans to banks, “industrial” and “agricultural” and real estate “on Saturday.”  I wouldn’t be surprised if this is delayed since the tariffs were postponed. It is hard to create a competitive market economy when there is no taxes on competing items flowing through the borders. The tariffs need to be in place before they can successfully compete. Abadi made a big mistake today postponing tariffs to the end of the year. That decision, in essences, will put all market economy reforms on hold for the remainder of this year as well…they cannot afford that delay.

Fitch gives Iraq its first credit rating

The ratings agency has given the country a stable outlook and a B- rating, six notches into junk.

The country is planning a $5bn bond issue towards the end of this year.

Fitch is cautious. Very cautious. It says:

Political risk and insecurity are among the highest faced by any sovereign rated by Fitch. Sectarian conflict has raged with varying intensity since 2003, ISIS militants currently effectively hold three of the 18 provinces, relations with the Kurdish regional government are volatile and governance indicators are exceptionally weak.

Iraq’s fiscal position has deteriorated rapidly since 2013 and Fitch forecasts a double-digit fiscal deficit for 2015, owing to lower oil prices, higher military spending and costs associated with civil conflict. Savings buffers built during previous years of high oil prices have been largely eroded and the deficit will be financed by debt, likely including a eurobond and funding through an IMF rapid financing instrument that was approved in July.

And if that wasn’t enough…

BGG ~ This is just a credit rating – however… I really like this line…

“Fitch Ratings has assigned Iraq a long-term foreign currency Issuer default rating (IDR) of ‘B-‘ with a stable outlook…”

The credit rating allows them to sell international bonds. On the other hand, it is a “double edged sword”… they can sell – but not for a premium (at that credit level)…which puts more pressure on Abadi to come up with other revenue. He’s having to face reality.

Maliki has to go – Alak has to go… the CBI has to “pony up…”

Nova – We all must take the events happening in any passive investment and draw a conclusion with it.  When doing this we cannot forget some of the foundational things about whatever we are invested in. Two of Many with the Dinar are…  One is the fact that all government agencies must use the Dinar and Two is that these agencies are in need of The New Mechanism in order to use the Dinar.  We have been looking with great anticipation this week on three fronts. Bonds, Tariffs and The Passing Of Power To The Provinces.  I realize that Iraq has been collecting taxes since Eve ate The Apple, but they have never done it with the New Mechanism.  IMO this mechanism must be in place before we see anything more on its Implementation / Delay.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Stryker – Iraq’s Credit Rating:  “Fitch Assigns Iraq’s First Rating at ‘B-‘/Stable”  Iraq has a credit rating of a B-/Stable, just out this morning. Bring on the Bonds both domestically and Internationally, Fiscal and Monetary Reforms are in the near future for Iraq, so where are they on corruption?  Corruption: In my opinion we should see soon a mass roundup and arrest of a majority of the bad guys, including and not limited to Maliki himself and corruption will be under control, for the most part. Then we/they are off to the races…With Iraq’s economy considered stable by Fitch and other agencies to follow in their assessment of Iraq, all that’s needed is to make sure all future revenue from oil sales, tariffs and taxation can stay working for the people and not in the pockets of the corrupt. Real prosperity for Iraq could really be right around the corner my friends!

Abadi directed to postpone the introduction of the new customs tariff

BAGHDAD / Obelisk: Information Office of the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, announced Thursday that al-Abadi face to postpone the introduction of the new customs tariff until ensure the readiness of all border crossings to apply .

Office said in a statement seen by “obelisk”, “The prime minister Haider al-Abadi face to postpone the new customs tariff of work, while ensuring the readiness of all border crossings to enforce the law, away from the corruption and double standards . “…

BGG ~ This is a fairly big deal. The issue isn’t that Abadi is postponing it…. that isn’t good for us. It’s that he knows there is a missing component – THE ADDED VALUE!! Their own economists warned against this VERY SCENARIO!! It’s no wonder the people are about to be rioting over tariffs with no value.

Kaperoni – Article quote:  “…and pointed out that the most important characteristic of that strategy is to strive for the establishment of the Iraqi market, which Council It will be within two thousand and sixteen next year or the next.”   Sounds like pressure will start next year to begin to raise the value!  Hope so anyway.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – …each month end, the government of Abadi is reviewed for progress on these reconciliation reforms. We now know that there are 30 reforms and about 20 of them are done.  There is so much concern and emphasis now for the completion of these reforms since mid August will make the 1 year outer timeframe for completion of these reforms. These reforms need laws in order to implement them. This is why I keep harping on the completion of these laws as they relate to the RV. No reforms No RV…sorry Charlie…!  They are down to the end of their timeframe to complete these reforms… This effort could not go on forever and this end had to come someday. I believe this is the beginning of our RV window and if they can complete these reforms on time we have a wonderful opportunity to see the currency reform and the project to delete the zeroes also being applied.   
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni – Article quote:  “the national strategy to promote the private sector is in three phases implemented over 15 years,”  The good news is we can see a real determination to implement the market economy now over just talk..starting with the tariffs, the CBI providing funds, then the sale of the 200 or so state companies, laws, etc. Real tangible proof of moving forward. With a clear goal for the government to step back from the development in a year or so…as part of the 3 phases to self sufficiency. The good news is that the pressure created will raise the value of the dinar over the next few years as a result. We must wish them success in this to achieve our goal!

BGG ~ I am so sorry. The last two calls we had scheduled were postponed – Tuesday AT&T had a region wide service outage. We had four layers of internet access go out. Thursday we had a medical emergency (my Dad “coded” while in the hospital). As soon as possible I will actually get a call done… in the mean time, as we are able we’ll keep doing online updates.

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – Article quote “…the Government of Babylon ready for direct transfer of powers from eight ministries, noting that the purpose of the transfer of powers is to provide services quickly without hindrance or delay.  I told you Iraq might get a 3 month extension on the decentralization effort…   Well now I have to tell you this 3 month extension was rejected due the unconstitutionality of the decision by the council of ministers. Thus the effort scheduled for completion on Aug 5th, yesterday is still on the radar.  …who is actually holding up the transfer…Is it the provinces or the government ministry?  … they are telling the people indirectly it is the government holding back the transfer to their provinces.  We do know the culprits (which ministries involved)…most of these ministries are not BIGGIES (meaning critical ministries) except one, the finance ministry. Why has the finance ministry not yet transferred to most provinces? Do you want to take a guess? Let’s see how this plays out over the next couple days since we know they are attempting to meet this Aug 14th timeframe for all the reforms, decentralization being one of them. If they are late by a couple weeks we don’t care as long as its not 3 months…lol…Isn’t this exciting?
______________________________________________________________

BGG – [What s going on with Parliament? I thought after Ramadan they were going to get right to work. I just checked their agenda…and no laws of importance are on the agenda clear thru Aug 15?]  in retrospect…everyone expected as much – However, the struggle seems to be significant…the news out today is actually high-level meetings with the “3 presidencies” meeting on how to fix the economy and corruption. NOW.   …in light of this news I am very hopeful.
______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – I wanted to reinforce the stance that the new customs and tariff law IS IN EFFECT however it is a new law and is being met with much resistance in some provinces as they try to find loopholes.  Some ask the question as to how can the  Iraq people afford these news goods as the tariff fees are passed on to the consumer?  Also they say there must be an increase in the value of the dinar (an RV) to compensate for this increase.

Frank26 – [When Iraq goes to international status, simultaneously, will the currency go up in value? Does the country have to be international to sell the international bonds?]   If it does not offer an International Rate of Interest … Not even a skeleton will buy these dry International Bonds of Iraq.   [Does your team still think that the International Bonds will go on sale August 18th?]   That is 365 days for A [Abadi] to keep his promise that if not fulfilled will trigger M [Maliki] to react against him.  As for DB ( Domestic Bonds)… iMO … The FIRST of them are being sold NOW.  [URGENT FROM IRAQIA TV:  CBI WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE NEXT SAT AT 10 AM AT SHERATON ISHTAR HOTEL.]  No one knew of THIS “CBI” MEETING …When was the last time YOU saw a CBI meeting?  And B 4 the 18th.
______________________________________________________________

Adam Montana – [I was wondering what you think is the underlying cause for the delay of the RV?]   I want to answer it in a way that might change how people are looking at this. You believe that the RV is being delayed, but what if it’s not actually delayed… and things are actually proceeding exactly as planned and needed?  When people think the RV is “delayed”, that’s because they think it was “scheduled” for an earlier date.  It’s my opinion that the change in the value of the dinar has been and always will be a very careful process, and it probably doesn’t have a specific date.  In order for the RV to be successful, we have always needed a specific situation to be present. Way back in the very beginnings of this site, I always said we need 3 things: GOI, CH7, and HCL.   We have GOI. We have CH7. Now we just need HCL, and we are really really close!

Millionday – Article quote:  “The bank has taken a series of decisions in recent weeks to stabilize the local currency after the dinar dropped against the dollar to 1,400 dinars to the dollar.”  SO REMEMBER THE 90 DAYS CBI ANNOUNCED AND THEY ARE STATING HERE THAT THEY ARE TAKING STEPS TO STABALIZE THE DINAR… THEY ARE WORKING TO MAKE THE DINAR STRONG AND GAIN CONFIDENCE…RIDDING THE COUNTRY OF USD ON THE STREETS.   [How are they ridding currency… when yesterdays auction was 352 million?]  THE AUCTION IS ATTENDED BY BANKS.  [SO where does that currency go?]  CBI.   [when did the 90 day announcement come out?]  ABOUT A MONTH AGO.   [didn’t the IMF OR the UN ..or was it world bank give a 60 day window to act?   if so when was that?]    YES THEY DID AND IT WAS ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO.

Adam Montana – There is a lot of buzz about a couple of major dinar dealers getting shut down or investigated.   It really has nothing to do with “dinar”.   It’s about how they did business. The dinar is still NOT a scam.  There is great potential for the Iraqi Dinar to rise in value, be it a little or a lot, and we all have every right to own it, hold it, and gain from it.   …there’s a lot going on, and even a little excitement building amongst my closest Iraqi contacts, but as of right now – no HCL, so no RV. That’s the bottom line.  In a nutshell, the IMF is actually putting pressure on Iraq to get moving, and the timeline is less than 2 months.  I’ve always said that the IMF can’t force Iraq to RV, or anything else for that matter. The CBI and GOI will do what it wants, when it wants… but this is looking like good pressure on Iraq, and that’s part of why my contacts are starting to crank up their enthusiasm.
______________________________________________________________

SteveI – [You have been confident before & the RV did not happen.  Is there anything different this time around?]  Yes, that is very true, ISIS was not part of the plan which sure caused many problems for not only Iraq, but other countries as well. I personally think this was a huge set back for Iraq, but they will get control and push forward and be the powerful country that their assets can back up.

Frank26 – [Once upon a time many years ago…a man named XXX said the layaways would have to end…right before… IMO…]   OK…Here it is:  iMO … Powers do not want Layaways sold any longer. You know why? Cause they are GUARANTEED over a 30 to 60 day period.  if…If…IF… The RI/RV is near…This has to stop…This is a Fact of DRS  [Dr. Shabibi] MR [Monetary Reform]  of his CBI’s Dinar.
______________________________________________________________

Kaperoni – The central bank plans to put up for the benefit of financial bonds worth two billion dollars”   As far as I know, these are domestic in country bonds being sold.  International or bonds sold to the world market is scheduled for the end of this year..not at this time.  There is a good chance if the GOI funds the budget (increase in oil prices, or other sources) they will not even issue the international bond sale.  It is a last resort IMO to make meet the deficit.
______________________________________________________________

Enorrste – Quote:  “The Federal Reserve’s primary method of reducing the money supply is to sell Treasury securities; more simply put, they sell government bonds. This is often referred to as contractionary monetary policy. By selling bonds to the public (including commericial banks, financial institutions, and the average citizen/investor) the Federal Reserve sells a bond and takes cash out of circulation.”  First, selling bonds reduces the money supply rather than increasing it.  This is basic economic monetary policy.  Second, it seems clear…that the CBI will remove the dinars that they receive from circulation, thereby putting upward pressure on the value of the dinar. The important thing here is that the bonds are being issued in order to reduce the money supply while at the same time making it possible for infrastructure loans to be made by the holder of the bonds.

SteveI – [Do  you still thinking the rate will be 3+ range?]  Yes, I believe based on the region they are in and oil sharing with Kuwait, anything less would not work.

Chattels – Maliki’s fate may lie with the Shia internal battle ( National Alliance ) to choose their next leader.  My sense is that Maliki cannot survive in the margins of political power. He has too many enemies, so if he is not chosen as the leader of the National Alliance then he likely is indeed on the way out and out of the country to Iran.

while economic Parliamentary Committee promised that the law is an important step to re-strengthen the joints of the state and the protection of national product, economic adviser counting the prime minister, that the lack of a border applied to any port in violation of the national sovereignty of customs.

OOTW – TODAY WE SAW A GREAT PRESS RELEASE FROM KEYWORDS – AN ACTION PLAN FOR ASSIGNING VALUE TO THE IQD!   Article  “Financial crisis: devaluation of the Iraqi dinar is it the solution?”  WHEN THEY SAY “DEVALUATION” THEY MEAN LOWERING THE FIGURE IE AMOUNT OF THE FILS -MOVING CLOSER TO THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR…IN EFFECT “LOWERING” THE NUMBER, IE, MAKING IT “DEVALUED”  BUT IN EFFECT, INCREASING THE VALUE AS THE NUMBER AMOUNT/FILS OF THE DINAR ARE REDUCED.

______________________________________________________________

Delta – The only thing left is the currency reform. They must lift the 3 zeros and move forward. In my opinion…you will never see an international bond without the currency reform. We will not see an international rate without currency reform. The IMF told Iraq a long time ago…they stated specifically…they will help Iraq if they implement the tariffs and lifting the value of their currency. The tariff…they are implemented. For the IMF to give the emergency loans…they know what’s going on.   The reason why I’m excited…it’s impossible to increase things with 20% taxes without increasing power of purchase.   If Iraq came out at .85 or 1 to 1…that is not the true value. The true value is over 3.   I’m very, very excited!   I’m very anxious to see what happens this September.  [post 2 of 2]

Delta – I do have the confirmation…one bond does exist…a domestic bond.   For every dollar that you are going to buy…the price is 1095 dinar on those bonds…you may not see that in the news because that happens internally within the banks.  From August 2 until 31st the CBI is doing this to raise some liquidity and capital for the financial ministry in Iraq. Those bonds mature in 1 year. In one year…financial ministry has to pay you the money plus about 6% interest. I think it’s disappointing that the CBI is doing this to the citizens because we all know what’s going to happen.  Say 2 or 3 months the value increases…imagine how upset they will be?  In my opinion…we may not see any changes in the month of August because of those bonds. I don’t think the CBI would pull the trigger while selling those bonds. In my opinion – nothing will happen in August.  If the CBI sells the bonds fast…they could increase the value.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Frank26 – Maybe by the 18th…highly possible…we may have a better chance of seeing the bonds come out for the citizens of Iraq.  The anti-money laundering law is in place as of right now!  It was put in place today at the borders. They didn’t even want the bonds sold until this anti-money laundering law was done Jubouri threatened that if they (GOI) didn’t get this done, he would expose what parliament was doing to the citizens. The concerns for Abadi when he took over as the new Prime Minster were serious. He told the people to give him 1 year and he would clean up all of the Maliki mess. Well guess what? Security comes in many forms.  Abadi and Dr. Shabibi are one…united  in getting rid of Maliki and his base. We believe now that the anti-money laundering law is in place … they can now deal with them from causing any problems. The reinstatement is something we want to see.  At some point they can jump into the RV during the International phase. This has to work perfect.   [post 2 of 2]

Frank26 – [via FrostytheSnowman] …the LAWS are very important for the security for Iraq.  They satisfy the borders (taxes / tariffs) those protect the currency and the revenue stream for Dr. Shabibi.  …the TARIFFS are in place TODAY [Monday].  The TAXES and TARIFFS are applied through the borders but they don’t apply to FOOD – because they need to take care of the citizens.  If you want to bring a product into Iraq it’s going to cost the companies a lot of money. Those companies are pouring in because they want to be a part of the monetary reform. The only security we’re interested in is the movement of the monetary reform.  The international world knows it’s coming with the taxes and tariff’s kicking in.   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

BGG – [did the bonds come out for purchase in Iraq?]  internal bonds…yes.  [has anyone heard if the tariffs actually started being implemented at Iraqi borders over the weekend?]   there has been print on both sides of this – I suspect they have… however,  I saw pics over the weekend of import vehicles waiting at “ports” to bring goods in… I have a funny feeling they are half afraid to bring the goods in at the new prices.  tariffs without value is SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE. This is real…   [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

My Ladies – Article:  “Iran plans to offer more generous terms to oil investors”   WELL HERE WE SEE IRAN COMING IN STRONG AND WITH SOLID CONTRACTS THAT ARE MORE APPEALING THAN ANY OTHER IN THE REGION,  SO I REPEAT WE SHOULD SEE SOME REACTION FROM IRAQ SOONER THAN LATER OR THEY WILL TURN INTO THE BIGGEST FAILED PROJECT THE USA HAS EVER TAKEN ON. I’M NOT EXPECTING THAT WILL HAPPEN.   …DEALS WITH IRAN ARE LOOKING BETTER FROM THE JUMP THAN THE CONTRACTS IRAQ HAS AND COUPLE THAT WITH NO PAYMENT ON THEIR CONTRACTS AND IT COULD GET SCARY FOR IRAQ REAL FAST.  THE DINAR NEEDS TO BE CONVERTIBLE AND REFLECT VALUE IN ORDER FOR ALL THIS BACK MONEY TO BE PAID  SO WE CONTINUE TO WATCH IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE LONGER.

Memphis – [ARE THE TARIFFS AND TAXES BEING IMPLEMENTED A SIGNIFICANT STEP IN THE MONETARY REFORM? WHY OR WHY NOT?] There are many markers that will point to the end stages of Iraq’s monetary reform and among them is implementation of the tariff on all goods.  I have been watching the latest push as it APPEARS they are serious this time.  Now as to why?  The WTO has placed it as a requirement to membership and along side this the WTO has also mentioned their interest in seeing the dinar valued more on par with the USD.  So I have always viewed it significant as a marker that the end is near.

tlm724 – Article quote:  “The law of customs tariff applied in three phases, the first was on the specific types of goods, and the second more goods,” noting that “the application of the third phase began first on Saturday, (the first of August the current 2015), on all goods entering Iraq”  1,2,3 it’s a done deal!   Quote: “the General Administration of Customs created the supplies necessary for the application of the law at border posts,” pointing out that “the law will allow Iraq to join the WTO membership global”  now we’re rockin!
______________________________________________________________

BGG – [by tariffs going today is that the proof we needed?]  not entirely…they may be able to absorb these “internally” for a while… but sooner or later “market forces” take over.  [If a tariff is place on something coming into country, isn’t that International?]  It is possible to implement tariffs without an RV – but it puts a lot of pressure on the CBI – it is not impossible to think this is what they intend.  If the CBI won’t do this – the GOI moves forward without their approval.

Abadi: the Maliki government “spent” all Iraqi cash reserves!

http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthread.php?16642-Abadi-the-Maliki-government-quot-spent-quot-all-Iraqi-cash-reserves!&p=125683&viewfull=1#post125683 …

______________________________________________________________

Mnt Goat – I know the plan as it was detailed to me many months ago.  All these aspects are interrelated and interconnected such as the needed reconciliation (or Erbil), security, banking and relations with neighboring countries. But our attention now should be on Abadi and the Reconciliation effort and its completion since we see these other areas there are no issues and are under control. Did the Customs and Tariff law get enacted?  YES…It positively did get enacted and is now in full force.  I am hearing the rollout of these new taxes is slow and so far the impact is MINIMAL thus the pressure to RV is minimal impact also, but only for now.  [post 2 of 2]

tman23 – Its not all that easy… When and IF the huge exchange for IQD takes place, the exchange and purchase will require newly created money… which will require a “plan to sterilize” the over supply of domestic money… When you get to the “meat” of what is described as an elusive RV… it’s not elusive… it is not just as easy as flipping a switch… There are so many damaging domino effects in different economies who would pay for the large exchange of the IQD… The control measures have to be absolute… So then we have to believe that it takes more than a few people to prepare for such an event which contradicts that only a few people know… If you attempt to figure out the specifics… it’s way above our pay grade and IQ… and that is not meant to be disrespectful.  All we can do is wait and see how they make the change and how it affects our IQD holdings… They are in the process…

Millionday – National Expert Group announced to promote the private sector…including soft loans worth six trillion Iraqi dinars, confirmed that the government had promised to implement the program within a week or two weeks.”  THEY SEEM TO BE CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL BE IN A POSITION TO ACTIVATE THE PRIVATE SECTOR …THIS IS HUGE…GREAT NEWS.  [They must feel they are going to get the Money Laundering taking care of that the world bank wants to get these loans, within the next few weeks then.]  THE CABINET HAS PASSED ALL MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORISM FUNDING LAWS…SO IT WOULD SEEM THEY ARE CONFIDENT.

Round Table Chat w/BGG filling in (mid-day) 7-27-15

Thanks to DinarRecaps.com for posting Round Table with BGG filling in for MD!!

BGG: Let’s do a Round Table where we “bat some ideas around”… w/ LIVE Q & A??

semperfidude: Any news with Dinar Corp

BGG semperfidude: The latest development is they have an 8/10 hearing scheduled… which appears very, very quick.

BGG semperfidude: this is “reportedly”…

semperfidude: Licensing problems ?

BGG semperfidude: not sure of the full scope – but it would appear the “reserves” are an issue.

DiagyAAAE: IYO does the 60 day deadline have ANYTHING to do with an International rate?

BGG DiagyAAAE: IMHO it has EVERYTHING to do with a rate – the WB/IMF has (essentially) told them to get their AML policies in order or they will WOP them back to the stone ages (in currency value). aka – BLACKLISTED…

BGG DiagyAAAE: that does not appear to be a hollow threat… and it would seem directed at Maliki and his cronies.

DiagyAAAE: I totally agree!!!!

DiagyAAAE: Al-Maliki accused of wasting a trillion dollars

Baghdad, Iraq Press -3 August / August 2015

JUST A NEWS BOMB we can talk about

BGG DiagyAAAE: of note as well – Abadi appears to have a “new program” for the Integrity Commission – which is to ask “where did you get that?? Meaning they intend to as a lot of questions.

BGG DiagyAAAE: further – my concerns about Maliki and Abadi looking like they are getting along seem to be a “false alarm” – lots of news out today condemning Maliki of financial misdeeds in Iraq right now…

Mnt Goat – They are down to the end of their timeframe to complete these reconciliation reforms I have referenced so many times already. This effort could not go on forever and this end had to come someday.  The WTO wants them as members and they are slotted to ascend to full member pending currency reform and tariff implantation. Remember it is always all about the $$$$. Having tariffs means a % goes to the WTO automatically through the software payment system. This could mean billions annually for the WTO. Having an international currency means ease of trade and payments, but it also mean having the rate set in the exchanges where they need to reference it for conversion in the software system… It is all interconnected.  [post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

tman23 – Here is what I was told regarding Iraq domestic Bonds… The CBI purchased government bonds earlier which was to bridge a gap of liquidity to government owned banks. When the CBI purchases government bonds it creates new money which increases the domestic money supply. The offering of domestic bonds is used as a control to decrease the domestic money supply, these are control measures used by Central Banks. The international offering makes sense to come after the domestic and is not a secret plan, it is the financial tools and strategies applied by Central Banks around the world. These moves made by the central bank are known as “sterilization”… The bond sales are not to “raise money”… it is a control mechanism… Iraq is getting a handle on their currency inside and outside of Iraq…

The Exchange Rate of Foreign Currency in Economic Feasibility Studies 

Below are the central controls related to the exchange rate of the foreign currency to convert the project inputs and outputs from foreign currency to its equivalent in the local currency, and that is by calculating the net discounted present value standard and the internal return on investments in economic analysis that governs investment projects that costs excess one million dinars.

Estimate the shadow price of foreign currency:…

3.      Estimate the amended exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar to be used in technical and economical feasibility studies and for (1.134) dollar per dinar. This price should be approved for 3 years until re-appreciation by the competent authorities.
