Walkingstick [via Frank26] Now that the budget is in the Gazette what’s next? To show the new exchange rate. If the rate is not in the budget remember they can change it at any moment because this budget has already been calculated for the 45 trillion dinar required. IMSO 1300 is not the rate of this budget. What is the rate of the budget? To go from trillions to billions.
Militia Man They’re saying Iraq ranks ninth in the world, that their raw wealth exceeds $15 trillion. That’s massive…And they have a currency exchange rate at 1310? …the Real Effective Exchange Rate is not 1310…this is the first time I ever recall Salih or anybody else come out and say Iraq’s value [$15 Trillion]. What they’re doing to me in my view is they’re supporting they’re going to make a move and they’re giving justification why they can support a Real Effective Exchange Rate.
