CharlieOK: Cuteboy has placed an article in the forum that states "that the price of US dollar against Iraqi dinar will be fixed at the current price for the next four years." This could not be further from what Tony has told us in the cc(s).
Yada: CharlieOK is once the dinar is RI, it will be fixed. But to RI, we are here to take advantage of the increase from the PR to the restored value. Not even the Iraqi people will see this much increase in country. Theirs's is an increase in value and we are revaluing the dinar to dollars. Then all the rules for money management will kick in for them to control inflation.
CharlieOK: Yada: the part of the statement that bothers me is that it says the price will be fixed at the current price for the next four years. Fixed at the current price is not why we are here. Especially not 4 years. I get that there will be a change of value sometime. I am sure I am sure I am probably missing what you are saying
Yada: No, not at this rate of 1450. The White Papers have dictated what path they are going to follow. After the RI, yes
CharlieOK: Thanks Yada. I wish the author of the article had been way more clear (which is never the case with an Iraqi article). I am one who believes there is a limited RI that has already occurred in Iraq (for government and international companies transactions.)
Cutebwoy: CURRENT IRAQI DINAR PEG WILL CONTINUE FOR NEXT FOUR YEARS: OFFICIAL
SULAIMANI —Director of the Department of Financial Operations and Debt Management of Iraq’s Central Bank Mahmud Dagher said on Wednesday (March 24) that the price of US dollar against Iraqi dinar will be fixed at the current price for the next four years.
During an appearance in NRT’s Tawtwe interview program, Dagher said that the Council of Representatives does not have the authority to make changes in the price of US dollar.
$100 was at 144,750 Iraqi dinars as of Wednesday evening.
The devaluation of dinar, which was included in the federal government’s draft 2021 budget, was designed to preserve Iraq’s dollar reserves and allow the government to spend more Iraqi dinars.
The move however made imports and goods originally priced in other currencies, like hydrocarbons, more expensive.
On Sunday, Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq Mustafa Ghalib said that the devaluation of the Iraqi dinar this winter enhanced the country’s financial sustainability because the move increased country’s foreign currency reserves and strengthened its public finances.

Maoakes12: BAnk Stories ???????????//
My wife and I visited our bank 4-5 months ago specifically to discuss exchanging foreign currency. We met with the Bank Relations Manager and we discussed exchanging currency. She knew about the currency and even stated that other bank customers had been talking to her about it.
She showed us the currency on the computer screen and stated that this is the way the bank verifies it.
i
She even stated that she could only exchange up to $400,000 per day. If we wanted to exchange a larger amount she would have to have another bank employee from another city to come in and sign off on the exchange.
She even asked if we wanted to talk to the Financial Manager in an effort to set our goals after exchanging.
So that is my BANK STORY and I'm STICKING TO IT !!!

Jeff Article: "Legal expert: Parliament legislation is not binding on the central bank" Parliament cannot do anything with the exchange rate. Decisions on the exchange rate can only be made and decided by the central bank...
Bruce [via WiserNow] ...we know...in Iraq – this has been several days ago now – that the dinar was at $1.00 in comparison to the USN dollar...it was on par – same value...in country...You remember when Dr Shabibi said the dinar could support – and that is still where we roughly where we believe we are going to be – on the dinar here – for a while – and then when we are done with our exchanges at the redemption centers and tier 1 banks that’s when the rates will revert back to a so called normal trading rate – same thing will be true for the dong – and other currencies at some point we will be on par against a level playing field with many many countries...
