[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
Sudani says we are in the final stages of the education phase on the monetary reform. I went to Mr. Sammy [Bank Manager Friend] and I said, ‘What happens next?‘ He said after the monetary reform education, the lower notes will come out. But first the commercials will show them to you. He seems to think it’s the upcoming next year for some reason. FRANK: The reason why he is saying this is because he is aware that the CBI will meet with the United States Treasury at the end of this year. He may be thinking we need that meeting. IMO I strongly disagree. I still look forward to Alaq returning from New York with a new exchange rate that everyone is agreeing upon…IMO the commercials are next…because they are already produced and ready to be released.
