Yada:  Interesting articles by Tish,,"Rasheed Bank announces direct procedures for selling the dollar for travel purposes" and "Al-Rafidain begins selling dollars to citizens, starting from Saturday (Preview)",,,,wondering if the float will start if not already?

Speedy:  Pulling in more three zero notes !!!

KaseyKo1:  Yada, glad you came in this evening. I think I've gotten myself turned around with the program rate business. Loved reading the article that you're referencing. Do you know approximately what rate or program rate we should be seeing when an RI is done? Thanks.

Yada:  My understanding, with them going international, would mean they will not have a program rate. The article stated a program rate amount but from all Tony has stated the past few weeks, and a few other sites have commented on it as well, the low rate may be released. Seems like a winner to get the people of Iraq to give up their 25k notes and if trading with the dinar, I'd think they pairing with the dollar,, That $1.60 may be what we see,,,,,,,,LOL, just my think on the articles.

Strangersolo:  Hi everyone, if the IQD comes out on the old Forex at .25 1to 1 or $1.60 it should not matter for it will only be a few days weeks or months for the full RI/RV or GCR to take affect

RVAlready:  Hoping for an RV Jan 3. I think the govt does not want any real change until then. Otherwise, they would have delivered by Christmas, as promised.  This journey has taught me, anytime govt says good RV news, take it with a dump truck load of salt. Liars for decades!!!!!

Tishwash:  Parliament places the budget at the top of its priorities after its recess

The legislative house is preparing to return from its recess early next month, awaiting the general budget law, which will be one of the parliament's first priorities at a time when citizens have high hopes about the projects and job grades that the law will contain

There is no talk above talking about the general budget law, whether in the street or even in the halls of parliament, a budget that the citizen eagerly awaits and also the legislative house, which will be one of its first priorities after returning from the legislative recess, according to what representatives confirmed

The next year's budget will bring excellent conditions in terms of financial abundance and large central reserves compared to previous years, which many rely on to be different in terms of investments and job grades.

While parliamentary circles confirmed their need for nearly two months to prepare the budget law inside the legislative house as soon as it arrived from the government, after which the law would be voted on.

Tishwash:  The Iranian currency recorded the largest decline in its history

The Iranian riyal recorded, on Thursday, in the Tehran free market against foreign currencies, a new collapse, the highest since the "Iranian Revolution" in 1979, as the price of the US dollar exceeded the value of 400,000 Iranian riyals.

Websites dealing with banking affairs in Tehran, including the "Sadaqa" exchange, which is one of the largest exchanges, offered the value of US dollars trading at 410,000 Iranian riyals, according to Eram Network.

State banks offered the price of the US dollar at 362,000 Iranian riyals, according to the Iranian "Tijara News" website.

The site indicated in a report that some financial market analysts believe that the price of the dollar will rise if there is no favorable news about the nuclear negotiations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the nuclear agreement).

The report stated that "the riyal will face a difficult winter in Iran in the event that there is no news of the return of nuclear negotiations," adding: "Since last Tuesday, the price of the dollar has fluctuated between rise and fall."

The government of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi blamed the turmoil in the currency and auto markets on the so-called "enemy" and "previous governments".

The price of all types of cars has risen between 300 million ($800) and one billion Iranian riyals ($2,600) in the past few days, while market experts expect this increasing trend to continue in the coming months, especially in the car market.

On Tuesday, government spokesman Ali Bahadri Jahromi accused Hassan Rouhani's government of manipulating the currency market, and said, "Raisi's government is not like a government in which the price of the dollar has increased more than ten times."

The government official also said about the rise in the exchange rate to 400,000 riyals that this "temporary price increase" should not be used as a basis for judgment, and if "liquidity creation is curbed, the impact will be tangible," as he put it.   link
