Jeff Since the start of the week Iraq has been finally putting an emphasis on their exchange rate. Article: "The Minister of Finance announces measures to support the effects of changing the exchange...and discusses the White Paper procedures" ...they're really now putting an emphasis on the exchange rate and moving it in the correct direction - raising the dinar against the dollar not the dollar against the dinar...everything is coming together right before us...we're in a great position. We just have to sit back, stay patient with it and let it happen...
Frank26 Article: "Al-Rafidain Bank leaves the seventh Item." What is the 7th item? Chapter 7 of the UN security council. What is it? Handcuffs on their currency...can you say free as a bird? Can you say Iraq is about to legally raise the value of their currency under the IMF/World Bank regulations so they can attend to their obligations not only internally but externally internationally? Quote: "the exit decision came after fulfilling all the bank's financial obligations to international financial institutions." That's article VIII. That's raising the value of their currency... this is huge. This is monstrous. This is article VIII carved in titanium. Free as a bird to do what they want to do. You think they want to stay at a program rate? No...
