DELTA: FROM SOCIAL MEDIA A LETTER FROM MONEY EXCHANGE COMPANY
To the Central Bank of Iraq.
It is your duty to follow up on a very important subject, which is when anyone transfers money from abroad to Iraq (in exchange for paying a transfer commission for this company), the Iraqi citizen is surprised to receive the transfer in dinars, not dollars, at a very low exchange rate and not at the official rate !!!!
Please follow up on this topic and explain the reasons that lead to the deduction of a large percentage of people's money !!!
BillA: Thank you Delta......Would just love to know the exchange rate that was given... You know by, the official CBI. Although this is from a Money Exchange Company...This transaction was performed by the CBI itself. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but, wouldn't it be against the law (International Law) for a CB to exchange outside of its' published buy/sell rate?
MilitiaMan: I can see why you brought this in Delta and thank you brother!~ For to begin the explanation process is coming, for why the very low exchange rate. An explanation imo will come from them being shown the new value of the currency is to be greater now than in the past, therefore, the lower amount of physical or E-Dinars will be needed to fill purchases or payments in salaries. The higher the exchange rate is, the lower amount of currency is to be needed.
The interesting thing is yesterday we see the below mention from Basil Jamil Antoine an economist speaking out and reassuring people that, yes there is crisis, but, he explains that even during the crisis we have a fix for that, and already did it apparently.. (Emphasis below is mine in bold; i.e., passes(d).) Note that they use the reduction to an equation within respect to their salaries. They will need to know the reasons for the reduction, hence we have heard they will be getting training via video for the reasons, if it is not already out..
Now tie in the CBI Statistics site adding value to the ISX Index by over 1,000%. They added three zeros to the value, whereby, they told us by the CBI, own words that they have equilibrium, therefore, the reciprocal of that is to remove three zeros from the exchange rate. Hence, we now see them explaining to the street, to not worry and to allay any fears of being slighted. ~ MM
And Iraq enters for the third time in the crisis of forming the government after the letter of the resigned Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to the presidency and the House of Representatives by leaving the position voluntarily with the collapse of world oil prices and its impact on the Iraqi economy, which some experts described as "a very dangerous quagmire that cannot be moved."
While the street is invading Iraq today, fears of circumvention to reduce employee salaries and increase deductions and taxes, due to the impact of low oil prices in order to reduce the deficit in the federal budget for 2020.
But economist Basil Jamil Antoine reassured through {Al Furat News} the Iraqi street by saying "Iraq has already If it passes(d) the reduction equation and who are covered and the other alternative, so that there are no interpretations from some people, they will reflect negatively on the life of the citizen.

MilitiaMan: Then take a peek at this too.. They are to be using the e-dinar now and it will be issued by the government banks. All of this coming out prior to the ISX opening tomorrow and the curfews fading away.. Fairly sure this being put together this way and collectively, points to a very positive outcome. In fact the more they reduce the equation, the more positive it gets. lol. imo ~ MM
