Delta   ...This is coming from the CBI...they said they can not change the value at any time...there is a legal and international policy they can change the rate only the first of the fiscal year.  That's January 1st.  That's why they could not do it July, August or September.  We were wrong unfortunately...we thought they could do it at any time.  That's wrong.  They can not do it at any time...we are in a very good position right now...they ordered [the powers that be] the CBI that this time they are going to do it.  There is no delay

Bruce   ...The bank screens, were gray scale for days last week we didn’t have rates on the front screen at all - Now we have front screen rates in green - so we have the green light so to speak on the front screen... Well it doesn’t do us any good if we’re not in there – it’s good to know that they are there and are populated – We also know that the Iraqi dinar is going to be increasing in value – continuing to increase – and it should be settled in at whatever time we tier 4B are finally released to come in for our exchanges...what I’ve heard from bank sources today is that we should be in the driver’s seat by Thursday the 26th...But if we don’t...start our exchanging by Friday then we are looking to Monday-Tuesday start...I hate the term “Back walls” ...but this is from a very, very strong authority...

Elmerf123456:  Annie don’t live on the life of helium Hopium. Live every day full of your intentions. Not others. If you live on the intentions of others you’ll only be disappointed. If you hold on to the currency and live life every single day without that being your balancing act you’ll be ok. As long as you have the currency you always have the ticket to go to the dance when it happens.

Jambie67:  President Salih resigned: ..."The president handed his resignation to parliament on Thursday after refusing to endorse a nominee for the prime ministership from an Iran-backed political group."..

Jambie67:  Iraq's political scene seems to be all tangled up. It is urgent that they name their new PM in short order. The resignation of Salih appears to be a strategic move, and I hope they have a swift plan to remedy their vacancies satisfactorily.

Jambie67:  okrocks here is that candidate's wiki page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faiq_Al_Sheikh_Ali

Jambie67:  Looks like that candidate has been in and out of politics since 1991 (nearly 30 years), and has a grandparent from a region in Iran, although he claims to be a secular liberal and part of the People's Reform Party.
