MilitiaMan ...Look at the amounts of assets Iraq has. Not to mention the new electronic system in place is returning 100s of billions of dinars... All of this supports massive value for the exchange rate change success.. imo
Pimpy If I remember correctly they said they had no intentions on changing the exchange rate for 5 years. But that was back in February...What has changed since February? The government. Their intentions were to stay with the white papers, do the reform...Since then Maliki and the coordinating framework have taken control and they are building the government right now. That whole 'waiting 5 years' is out the door. We know this because we've seen articles within the past 2/3 weeks where they said they're going to change the exchange rate. We know they're going to do it. And it ain't going to be 5 years from now...
