CandyKisses:  The World Bank: The policy of changing the dollar exchange rate is the prerogative of the Iraqi government 

The World Bank confirmed that the policy of changing the dollar exchange rate is one of the prerogatives of the Iraqi government.

The World Bank said in a statement that it was followed by (Al-Oula News), that "the policy of changing the dollar exchange rate is one of the prerogatives of the Iraqi government."

Yada:  I still go back to the logic that the UN needed this rate reissued in order to bring in the wealth that Iraq is accumulating. It is like a power circuit that is weak but with the addition wealth of Iraq, more power is garnered. All the countries who already did currency swaps have the dinar as a reserve and once the rate is released, each country's currencies will grow stronger, offsetting the inflation they are experiencing now.

Yada: There are the French and Chinese contracts that require a fully reissued currency for them to work and feed Europe and Asia.

Yada:  Kids talking among themselves what they are going to do but the parents who have the last word.

RVAlready:  If the CBI considers Iraq stable enough, they will release the RV. The RVs will improve stability in the region. The UN is pushing this release. The CBI has had plenty of time to prep for this. They should let this go soon, before anything else happens.

RVAlready:  I think the UN and IMF have given the CBI the green light. The needs of the world are critical. They wasted too much time.

RVALready:  Worst case, the UN sends in peacekeeping troops. But I do not think that will happen.
