MilitiaMan: This positive report (above) shows they have had moving the ISX to a new level on their mind for quite sometime now. Looks so as to be, as far back as 2018 for companies starting to disclose their books in order to be transparent.
This is clearly setting the stage for a much grander staging for the ISX. The line up of countries taking notice is noted too. We have been told to watch the NASDAQ recently, imo. This seems to fit that we may see something in short order! imo ~ MM
They at this stage in time are at an Associate Member Level with IOSCO, just think when they RI what sort of light that will shine on the ascension to a full member!
The NASDAQ has rules and standards that will need to be met. If and when that happens and apparently it is the goal for that to happen, as the ISX was show cased back in July in New York (I believe) and then again more recently in Iraq, suggesting the above has been setting the stage to roll out companies that were early to the party for trading soon internationally!
So, this is well timed today, and is nothing but a positive sign of what is to come. imo ~ MM
Then now we see below taken from the Final Article Thread, we can see who calculated things for the future and when." The AMF value is to be taken seriously and it may very well get a nice leg up the ladder when Iraq takes of her training wheels!!
We in the past were able to define value by loans from Tunisia / AMF... They were close to Iraq's original high Glory Day's ~ Maybe WS can give us some input on the matter? imo ~ MM
