Militia Man  There are issuance of currencies/ denominations coming and they're not triple zero notes...The triple zero notes [that exist today] are going to stick around for about 10 years.  Those of you that think they're going to LOP...the zeros off the currency...the Central Bank of Iraq, IMF, World Bank, The Bank of International Settlements ...disagree with you because they say specifically...we'll use it to facilitate large banking transactions for 10 years.

Walkingstick  [via Frank26]  The IMF keeps saying, 'You have currency inflation'.  The way to combat currency inflation is by raising the value of their exchange rate.  It is the economic conditions in Iraq that determine the exchange rate.  Do you think the exchange rate should be a program rate right now based on that budgetNo.  That's why there are multiple exchange rates that were calculated due to the nature of their speed and currency inflation that they have now.  Their inflation must not get out of hand...

Liberty and Finance:  6-20-2023
