He added that "the Iraqi Development Fund has six goals, including mobilizing the private savings of the Iraqi people, estimated at 60-70 billion dollars."
He explained that "the development road is considered one of the most important strategic projects for Iraq, and several countries will participate in it, and it will shorten the time for transporting goods by 15 days."
Al-Najjar continued that "women in Iraq wear gold worth 18 billion dollars," noting that "Iraq needs 8,000 schools, so the Iraqi Development Fund has granted land to build schools." LINK

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The census is for real. Sudani says this is a really really serious census, I want you to participate and he needed us to work with him. Sounds like it has to be tied in with legal things that need to be done and finished up before the official exchange rate rolls out. Just what we think here on the streets. FRANK: After the census I believe things will start to be revealed to you...
Mnt Goat ...the IMF fully intends to repeg the IQD to a basket of currencies once they revalue it and turn it back on FOREX (...this is called a reinstatement...). It will initially be a FREE FLOAT driven by market fluctuations however it will be monitored and my CBI contact has told me they will cap it at a level to control the initial massive swings, if needed. Then over a period, the rate is expected to settle down to its nominal rate. I am told this could be about $3.85ish. The then CBI director in 2011 Dr. Shabibi told his audience in a news media conference on the Iraqi economy that the dinar could sustain a fluctuation as high as $16 USD...I am told that the IMF will use the cap at about $9 - $11 to prevent wild swings out of control that could potentially hurt the basket.
