Frank26  I was hoping we'd see the new small category notes this week along with the coins and the new exchange rate but it looks like it's the budget first.  Don't be surprised if the budget contains internal surprises.

Militia Man  ...Government agencies, the GOI, the CBI, their delegation - they're all talking to us about exchange rate change, forewarning...to hold onto [the dinars] because they're going to be more strong against the dollar.  They go from, 'the dinar is the strongest.', [to] 'The Iraqi dinar will rise against the US dollar in a few weeks.' ... And then he says 'soon.'  And then the other day on the 18th he says, 'now.'  We can take all that information to let us believe that change is coming.  It's before us...what we're seeing now is phenomenal.

Sean Foo:  4-23-2023

The world is drowning in debt, in fact, the amount is over $300 trillion and this threatens to implode the global financial system.

While the consequence of a US default is enormous, the emerging markets debt pile is far more severe.

 This will inevitably cause the Federal Reserve to print money to prevent a deflationary spiral. Here's what you must know about why inflation is forever!

Why America's Enemies Can't Dump the Dollar (yet)

Heresy Financial:  4-22-2023

Global de-dollarization is the world right now going through this process of dumping the dollar or not?

You would think this would be a straightforward question to be able to answer. Yet at the exact same time, we can find data that contradicts all of this with the share of dollars in international transactions unchanged since the eighties, and the dollar index unchanged since the seventies.

 Both the percentage and the number of dollars in foreign holdings both grew over time. So, is the world dollar rising or not?
