10/03/2021 10:25:48

  An informed source announced the date of the commencement and disbursement of distributing the salaries of retirees.

The source told {Euphrates News} that "the direct distribution of pensioners' salaries will start tomorrow evening, Monday."
And he indicated that "the exchange will be completed next Tuesday."   LINK

MilitiaMan:    Interesting they are speaking about direct distribution in an "Epidemiological" way in regard to a financial way of speaking.. imo ~ MM

MilitiaMan:  By definition, epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic, and data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and events (not just diseases) in specified populations (neighborhood, school, city, state, country, global).

PattyCakes77:  I pray this means something. Another week begins praying that this is the week all this is over.

MilitiaMan:  I believe your prayers are going to be or are answered.

 The evidence is farily clear as I see it. This data with links supports that the digital transformation of the globe is underway and Iraq is clearly a part of the process.

The reports out from the BUNA and the BIS are key documents with instructions and definitions of the digital transformation we are witnessing and it's progress is amazing and picking up speed.

They published the article (see below) 09/29/2021 same day as the BIS 50 page report came out. The BUNA Glossary is 197 pages. They didn't do all this without timing things accordingly. imo

They did these things while markets are closed.

Notice they mention Payment and financial infrastructure  around opening hours? I sure did.

Monday evening and exchange on Tuesday?

Fascinating markets align today too, pre markets open? We shall see.. imo ~ MM

There is also news out today that supports Iraq is acting like they are Article 8 compliant.

So the expectations  of a rate change soon is highly likely, imo.

 To be digitized is to be internationally accepted which will also require new smaller notes so the citizens can get more purchase power and also not lose money not having the smaller notes.

 imo We are in a very progressive spot. One that suggests it is not all about Iraq but, is about Iraq. ~ MM
