VinterV:  25 High ranking officials arrested as they sleep for corruption and thief of government money. Also hearing a meeting last night just might have changed everything. TNT Tony #wearethepeople

CharlieOK:  Today, Monday, the representative of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Suhaila Al-Sultani, announced the hosting Governor of the Central Bank and the Minister of Finance in order to reduce the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar.

CharlieOK:  When I see a reference to the GOVERNOR of the CBI and the Min of Fin of Iraq in a meeting to discuss the raising of the exchange rate of the dinar, that gets my attention,…. And to be fair, Iraq being Iraq, we get another article saying............ "We ain't doin' it". Perhaps not,

CharlieOK:  This statement also definitely got my attention: "All deputies and political blocs are determined to reduce the exchange rate, and the number of deputies who signed will increase in the coming days."  The article is talking about reducing the exchange rate of the dollar in Iraq. You have to read Left Handed to understand an Iraq article,

CharlieOK:  I am believing we are starting to see signs of this ending.

RVAlready:  Charlie, yes, I think we are close, because world financial systems are about to fail. The RV/GCR is now critical.

CharlieOK:  RV: I have known for some time that there are "two sets of books" when it comes to understanding government finance. Also, because of my past experience, I am more than somewhat aware of world wide location of precious or strategic assets. That was a major hurdle for me to even get in this in the first place.

CharlieOK:  Iraq has its share, but it doesn't have more of anything than some other countries. It has taken me a long time to accept a stone age country that is at best in fifth, maybe fourth place, in assets that are discussed all the time, to be the lynch pin for anything.  But Iraq is. Why? Because of strategically using ridiculously manipulated currency values that will one day multiply itself because it is true that Iraq has a lot of assets.

RVAlready:  Also, because Iraq has little or no debt, unlike most of the other countries of the world, who are in debt up to their eyeballs.  An ocean of oil, and no debt.

RVAlready:  About 20 news articles today, saying they won’t change the exchange rate. We must be very close to the RV.

Tishwash:  I agree rvalready very interesting what's going on with the rate and all these articles

RVALready:  Proximity to the RV is inversely proportional to the number of articles denying it is about to happen….Or, depending how you view proximity, is directly proportional…. Anyhow, we’re getting real close.  I am hoping for an RV next week

The Iraqi citizen complains about the high prices of food commodities despite the availability of liquidity in the state treasury, and according to government data, inflation rates in Iraq increased by 5.3 percent last September compared to what it was during the month of September 2021, According to the latest official statistics.

Al-Hardan said that Iraq was affected by the global crisis caused by the Corona pandemic, supply problems and the increase in prices globally due to the Russian war on Ukraine.

He added that what is in the market are imported products that are directly affected by the value of the local currency against the dollar and the absence of market control and the lack of real work to control prices, stressing the importance of increasing local production, preventing monopoly, and working to increase supply further to contribute to lowering prices.

Member of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament, Ahmed Al-Saffar, believes that the state, after 2003, does not have any economic and financial policy to confront inflation, and that the national economy is fragile and weak due to its primary dependence on oil revenues only.

Al-Saffar indicated that successive governments cannot do anything in the absence of monetary and financial policies, criticizing the role of the Central Bank, whose work is now limited to the currency sale window and other issues that do not achieve a balance between the monetary and financial sides.

Regarding the capabilities of the government charged with headed by Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, Al-Saffar stressed that this government has a good program, but its provisions were talked about by all former heads of government, but they did not achieve anything from it, because of the partisan and sectarian quotas that exist in the Iraqi state.

Al-Saffar ruled out that the Sudanese would bring about any change or progress on the economic level due to the existing political interventions, imposing wills and parties’ interventions in the work of the government and the preparation and legislation of the budget, as well as the misdistribution of ministries based on sectarian and partisan basis, which leads to worse economic conditions than the years previous.

And the International Monetary Fund, in its latest report, suggested that the annual general inflation of Iraq would reach more than 4 percent this year, according to the security and political events in the region, in addition to the Corona pandemic and then the Russian war on Ukraine.   link
