MZ: on the bond side – I have 3 contacts who say their funds have originated and are expecting them Wed. or Thurs.
MZ: Not enough information this weekend to give us a clue on timing.
MZ: this weekend was the Baghdad summit and they have made lots of deals. Someone from Nato is meeting with Sudani and they are looking at Iraq like they are truly international. They just need the last of the restrictions removes so they have a fully international currency.
MZ: One of the articles says they are outlawing militias. Parliament is working on the Popular mobilization law which folds the militias that fought against Isis into and under control of the Iraqi military.
MZ: I was told this was a sticking point with the Trump Administration and also with the Chinese elders to make sure Iraq was secure before they pull the trigger to change the rates. This is one of the last security issues that was needed…..I was told.
MZ: Seems like everything we needed is finally coming into fruition. .
MZ: Enjoy your time with Zester and I will try to stop in tomorrow.
