MilitiaMan:  The mechanism is the exchange rate in my view. They want what everyone wants. The transformation digitally is on going with the Arab Summit taking place through tomorrow.

I suspect the Kurds got the cart before the camel and needed to hold off until now.

The industrialists are getting ready for the same thing. When Iraq has everyone on board and compliance ready, they'll jump start the reforms and fast, imo.

Look at the articles about massive amounts of materials needed. Steel, cement, rice, container ships full of items at the Port of Faw.

They are adding additional phases to the port to be able to handle the build out that is on the way. On the way. As in now there is no stopping it..

 In total over 500 bankers and central bankers are aware of this now. The digital roll out is the level playing field. It is the mechanism that will trigger a massive global change. imo 

So be at peace, as change is coming. The same day the Arab Summit started the UST had a chat too!! Get ready!!!  ~ MM

Ross:  Thanks for the clarification and encouragement. 

This however was my favorite line:  Get ready!!!     

Lol the only way I could be more ready is to start sleeping at the front door of my bank.

MilitiaMan:  That might be a good idea.(ROTFL)

Samson:  Nechirvan Barzani discloses "significant" external support for Erbil and Baghdad to resolve their differences

19th May, 2021

The President of Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani said on Wednesday that there is "great" international support for Erbil and Baghdad in order to solve the differences and pending issues between them, stressing the need to achieve political stability in the country in order to eliminate ISIS in the disputed areas.

President Barzani said in a speech during the (Unity and Constitution) conference in Erbil, "We are going through a sensitive phase, which is the stage of the Iraqi elections, and all parties are trying to rearrange themselves." To overcome all problems in Baghdad.

Regarding the differences between Erbil and Baghdad, Barzani said: There is great political support for Baghdad and the region in addition to external support towards dealing with our problems with Iraq within the framework of the constitution, and for this we will continue our efforts.

The head of the region confirmed that the (UNAMI) mission in Iraq has played a positive role so far. In a letter to the United Nations, I requested, as the Kurdistan Region, to increase the role of its mission in addressing the differences between Baghdad and Erbil, from which we ultimately aim for the political stability of the country and without addressing the problems there will be no political stability. 

President Barzani went on to say that "the organization of ISIS in the so-called disputed areas is currently very effective and if we want to eliminate it, there must be political stability in the country."

MilitiaMan:  Ya think? lol There is a Digital Summit going on through tomorrow. The mechanism that Baghdad and Erbil are to disclose is about to reshape the way they do things and in a big way.. imo

 The world is watching and reacting now. imo There would not be 500 global bankers and Central Bankers over a two to three week period discussing digital clearing and compliance. That does not get done with out massive logistics.. imo

We are in a good place.. By the way. The CBI didn't notify the Gazette prior to the devaluation.. Some food for thought.. ~ imo ~ MM
