Militia Man Article: "Investing Iraq's natural wealth is a step towards economic integration". The next step to integration is here. The estimate of $16-17 trillion in stock capital by itself is massive. The legislation has been put in place for Iraq to use their executive authority to partner with the private sector...That will expand their wealth even further. They will be doing exactly what they said they would do and bring purchase power to their citizens and by extension to investors in and of the Iraqi Dinar. The dinar will be stronger than the dollar and Al-Sudani knows it, Al-Alaq, Taif Sami, Fuad Hussein and the whole MCOE knows it, I sure do too! ...No more reliance on just oil is here to stay...
Clare Article: "Natural resources in Iraq...a huge treasure neglected by an “official decision”!" Quote: unfair government decisions have deprived Iraq of huge billion-dollar revenues...It has natural resources ... such as oil, natural gas, phosphate, sulfur, and other minerals...Estimations indicate the value of Iraqi natural resources reaches up to 16 trillion dollars...this puts Iraq in a distinguished position among the countries of the world rich in natural resources...For example...Iraq’s possession of 9% of the global phosphate reserve, and phosphate exports can generate tens of billions of revenues annually for the Iraqi treasury.
A SYSTEMIC/GLOBAL MELTDOWN IS GOING TO OCCUR... YOU MUST STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE ON THIS.
