Kuwait confirms receiving $1.47 billion in war compensation from Iraq

30th November, 2021

The bank said that "Kuwait received compensation payments from the United Nations Committee from Iraq for the war, amounting to 1.47 billion dollars (0.4 billion dinars) in April, July and October of this year." LINK

Deepwoodz:  $1.47 usd / 0.4 iqd = 3.675

ImoThe wording is clear. This ain’t no typo. Frank said they are paying their debts in dinar. Which in this article…..amounts to 1.47B dollars. 

Oh yea, and been goin on for a minute…building trust=value. Thank you FRANK!!!

Tell me it ain’t so!!!

Zeeman:  deepwoodz could that be possible

Deepwoodz:  Imo…If the article is accurate then YES. Since it’s from Kuwait I’d say they aren’t as adept at keeping Iraq’s secret as Iraq is. 

Besides, we’ve been taught here at KTFA that
1) they are paying using their currency
2) Supply and demand will demand trust which increases value
3) Don’t you have a gut feeling something HUGE is about to happen? I do. (HOLY SPIRIT)
4) Glory days
5) digital transformation complete
6) higher than 3? 4-5? I don’t know but CoM (Council of Ministers)  had a vote the other day about trade mechanisms between all importing and exporting countries and an audit.

 Sounds like a vote for another rate change to me.

At the very least it’s to confirm the past years results with the existing rate. Before the release maybe?     Results have been….silent.

Got to have an exchange rate to do international business.

The exchange rate will determine the prices of all imports and exports. 

7)etc…………………………

PS…..the more I consider the articles that mentioned things like trade exchange agreements, countries can have more than one exchange rate, dual books, secrecy, and the like, the more it seems to make sense.

Does this make sense? Keep the build up of the new rate secret from the citizens, and the world at large, until you have given that new rate time to stabilize and see if all your planning actually comes together successfully.(Before the announcement)

In other words, you have two rates for the last year. One that you use for trade that’s secret(high rate). This allows you to buy building supplies and do contracts to your advantage.

The lower rate has to stay until you know what you’re doing works. Prove it to the institutions that can make you or break you, like the IMF and World Bank. After all, you’re jockeying for the top spot and it’s important to the world. 

Just some thoughts as they begin to roll…

Popeye7:  Good analysis Deep... Imo... Before the end of the year for the release, (as others have declared on this forum), would be the most logical... In order to endure that they can hit the ground running in early 2022 with the new budget... So much happening right now that shows we are in any time mode... Again imo...

Godlover:  Excellent news today on their election results. Once approved by the Federal Supreme Court, sworn in & seated, will bring the security & stability their country needs & we want to see, to move forward. I am encouraged by the possibility of parliament passing the 2022 budget, God willing by the end of this year.

Also Iraq's debt with Kuwait is becoming more newsworthy as of late. Some articles mentioned completely paying them off by the end of this year. Things certainly are lining up for a possible 2022 budget opening up in early 2022.
