Frank26 Do you have any other friends in the…area [where you live] that can go with you [to exchange]? Because if you go by yourself, okay, but if you go with other friends that have a lot of dinars too, all of a sudden what you’re asking [from the bank] has even more power, more authority for them to wave it [fees and whatnot].
MarkZ [via PDK] I know some group people are working but they won’t tell me what they are doing…just that they have their “nose to the grindstone”. I think that is positive.
Clare Article: “Issue No. (4814) of the Iraqi Gazette was published on 2/17/2025” Quote: “– Law No. (4) of 2025 First Amendment to the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the Fiscal Years (2023-2024-2025) No. (13) of 2023.” Community Comment: ” Great news! Has the budget been given to parliament? Passed? THE 2025 BUDGET TABLES HAVE NOT BEEN SENT TO PARLIAMENT YET. SUDANI IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THE TIMING IMO.
Militia Man [Reference Guru Clare’s “Fake News” 2-17-2025 article below] Long little article packed full of information. It suggests that Iraq is fully ready to go. They got praise from the United States Treasury…US Federal Reserve…They have the best accounting/ consulting firms in the world working with them…Iraq has done everything they need to do…
Above mentioned Post is below
Clare Article Quote: “Al-Nusairi: No sanctions on Iraqi banks, and false reports cause panic” Quote: “Al-Nusairi criticized the unspecialized media and unspecialized analysts who published misleading information about the alleged sanctions on Iraqi banks, saying: They have been annoying citizens for two days with false claims that there are sanctions on five Iraqi banks, and that the number…will reach 37 banks. They even went so far as to promote false information about the sanction of Rafidain Bank…He considered that the official source in Iraq is the Central Bank of Iraq…and our ongoing relations with the US Treasury Department and the US Federal Reserve“
Sandy Ingram Article: “Iraq’s Central Bank will prohibit five banks from conducing US dollar transactions in an effort to combat money laundering, dollar smuggling and other financial violations” This decision follows meetings in Dubai between Iraqi officials and representatives from the US Treasury and Federal Reserve…While the newly sanctioned banks can still operate and conduct transactions in other currencies, the inability to access U.S. dollars severely limits their international financial activities.
MarkZ [via PDK] …the only fun news I saw in the Gazette was the $16 dollar per barrel going to Kurdistan. And the budget tables are moving forward.
Frank26 I got a stronger feeling every day that I wake up, that a lot of the decisions of this reform are now being done by a far better leader.
Babysmom NORMAL SCHEDULE FOR THE GAZETTE IS SATURDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS, IT WAS PUBLISHED IN A SPECIAL EDITION… THEY PUBLISHED AMENDMENTS THAT WERE APPROVED…IT MEANS THAT THEY AGREED UPON RATES FOR KURDISTAN AND OIL. NOW WE ARE JUST LOOKING FOR A RATE CHANGE.
Clare Article: “Central Bank announces details of its meetings with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve” Quote: “…Iraq depend largely on the trust of international correspondent banks in the Iraqi banking sector, we emphasize the need to ensure that the official channels of this bank are adopted to know the latest news and not to transmit incorrect news such as some Iraqi banks being subject to international sanctions and others.”
Fnu Lnu As Usual, almost every report coming from Iraq has a conflicting report right behind it. Trust Sudani…NOT sources close to the PM. Article: “Central Bank of Iraq Denies Sanctions” Quote: “The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has denied reports that the United States has imposed sanctions on five Iraqi banks, emphasizing that no such measures have been officially implemented. However, the CBI has confirmed that it will ban five more local banks from engaging in US dollar transactions, following meetings with US Treasury officials in Dubai. The CBI’s denial comes amid growing speculation and conflicting reports”
Militia Man The president of the republic [of Iraq] has signed the amendment to the budget law…It’s waiting for the exposure of the exchange rate that’s going to be in the Gazette. Does Alaq have a conversation with everybody before that or it it all around the same time? It’s to be determined. Obviously they haven’t moved oil at 1310. They haven’t paid all the salaries at 1310. They haven’t exposed the budget. Obviously they’re doing something trying to keep it contained till down to the wire.
Mnt Goat you can now CLEARLY see that there has been massive corruption in Iraq and with the US keeping the Iraq dinar artificially suppressed… The new president Trump has a new policy towards Iraq and it is beginning to take form. This recent move of stopping the physical dollar CASH flow to Iraq is apparent…This was a huge move…I was told many times already by my CBI contact that this crisis is at the heart of why the CBI can not set the in-country revaluation rate to what they need to conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros…
MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “Rueters: Oil exports from the Kurdistan region will resume next week” oil is flowing and money is moving.
