Frank and family, VERY EXCITING ARTICLE
I think this latest IMF article is VERY VERY important in terms of determining the final international rate(s)-not only of the IQD- but of corresponding international rates for various countries wishing to export to Iraq…tariff and rate related. IMO, the is the last piece of the “new Math” that Frank talked about recently.
