KTFA:

MilitiaMan:  The exchange rate devaluation has been discussed many times. They did it for a reason and say so. The action was / is to be short lived. We can see that there is a need for an exchange rate change and quickly.

The street is being harmed and they are going into protest mode again. The are looking at helping the poor, the devaluation has had a profound effect on them. They are talking about the food law and to improve the ration card. (Which by the way is more support our study has been spot on that work is an has been ongoing all along regardless of holiday.)

There is a parliament in place along with a legal caretaker government to do day to day business. That day to day business includes actions pertaining to budgets. The 2022 budget has been in the news to be sped up and presented in short order, imo.. 

Lets think about the part about the helping of the citizens. They were hurt the most and may benefit largely with a ReInstatement of the IQD. 

As for liquidity for the street. Didn't they spend $10s of millions of dollars in printing new currency in 2018? Yes, they did.  They were not three zero notes, imo. They were NSCNs and likely fils , as noted by the $54 million spent for currency issuance 08/31/2018 per the CBI.

WE also watched the video showing the were destroying 3 zero notes around that time frame. So, with that said, why destroy and then re issue 3 zero notes again. Well, since time has gone by, what is on the street may be worn, soiled, faded, etc... Okay, then do to delays that may need to be addressed in the short term of liquidity issues. Or could it be that they want to use what good currency left of the three zero notes they have on hand to help line the pockets of the poor?

They say they will monitor  the process closely.  Lets say they issue more three zero notes then, once completed, they RI to a previous era. The poor get a serious stimulus package for all the suffering they have had to endure.

The NSCN's (New Small Currency Notes) also under scrutiny, can follow along with the new digital system that we are aware of to be implemented at the borders.. ? We shall see..

imo I have a hard time beleiving that at this stage 3 zero notes are for longevity.. JMTC imo !!! ~ MM

Clarification From The Central Bank Regarding The Exchange Of The Dollar And Money Laundering

3rd March, 2022

The Central Bank of Iraq issued a clarification on the dollar exchange rate and money laundering.

And the bank confirmed, in response to a previous parliamentary question, seen by "Earth News", that "the Iraqi judiciary has taken the necessary measures regarding some forged invoices, which date back to previous dates."

He added, "The exchange rate change came to remedy the gap between the real value of the national currency and its nominal value."

It is worth noting that the decision to change the exchange rate is a national strategic decision that is not linked to interim conditions, and that the negative results that may have resulted from it, can be avoided by financial and governmental action to support vulnerable groups and improve the ration card and not retract this important decision.  With respect.  LINK

Deepwoodz:  MM said… ”Lets say they issue more three zero notes then, once completed, they RI to a pervious era. The poor get a serious stimulus package for all the suffering they have had to endure.”

What a great thought! Do you really think they care about the citizens that much? To actually line their pockets just prior to changing the rate? Wow…I really hope that is the case. Kadhimi seems to care but…wow. That really would be nice. Thanks MM, I would never have thought of it like that. Kudos  

MilitiaMan:  They say it is for the poor. We may recall that Sadr wants the poor to be taken care of. I don't believe the money is for everyone, it is likely for the poorest which by the way are a large  segment of his voting base. Eid al Fitr is coming up soon and who knows the gesture may very well be timed accordingly. Most people have electronic payment abilities, the poor? Not likely so much. Lets see if the theory has legs to it.. ~ MM

MilitiaMan:  I like the timing of this one Clare, thank you. International consultants and companies to help get it right with the oil file.. Imagine the timing of it now.. All good. imo ~ MM
