Qusay al-Jabri that he could look at economic reform as a package of policies that work to make local expenses consistent with the available resources, and through finding a consensus between the financial, monetary and trade policies and exchange rate to ensure a holistic request fits and composition of the display overall." THE ECONOMIC REFORM REQUIRES ADOPTING AND STIMULATING POLICIES THAT IMPROVE THE USE OF RESOURCES BY -- REMOVING DISTORTED PRICES -- MOVING TO A COMPETITIVE MARKET. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS REFERRING TO THE POLICIES THAT MOVE IRAQ TO A MARKET ECONOMY THROUGH THE ACTION OF REFORM FOR NATIONAL STABILITY WITHIN IRAQ AND INTERNATIONALLY. THE PROGRAMS ACHIEVE BALANCE THROUGH THE IMPACT OF EXCHANGE RATES AND TRADE...THIS INCLUDES THE DINAR VALUE AND PRESERVATION -- THE GOAL IS TO BALANCE THE DEMAND AND GDP TO GAIN STABILITY...THIS ALL HAS TO DO WITH BALANCE OF THE EXCHANGE RATES FOR THE MARKET ECONOMY...HUGE.

10-28-2015 Mnt Goat Why has the CBI held off in launching the new lower denominations paper and coins (permanent) currency of Iraq? ...they must wait until the optimum timeframe to do so. But this will be a signal to us that the RV has happened in Iraq or is very close at hand. This is the process and the plan. IT IS PART OF THE CURRENCY REFORM PROJECT. ...this week we just witnessed yet another amazing law get passed by parliament. The National Unity cards law is now official. Why are they doing this national identification card? IT IS PART OF THE CURRENCY REFORM PROJECT....all indications show the bulk of the immediate reforms necessary for our RV are all almost but done. The most evident news today comes from the passing of more of the needed reform laws. Do I believe we are very close to an RV? YES... ...the investment law was first conceptualized in 2006. Just yesterday it was passed by parliament and in the same day ratified by the president of Iraq. Why did it take so long to implement? The answer - IT WAS PART OF THE CURRENCY REFORM PROJECT. They now have the green light to go ahead.

Maliki is up to his nasty tricks and is leading the charge to bring down Abadi! it really comes as no surprise that we would see some sh.. stirring because Abadi's GOI is actually making progress! AML and investment laws are done! Even though things are far from perfect this government is much better then Maliki and Najafi could have ever hoped for! the good news is this, PM Abadi has the backing of the supreme religious leaders and thats powerful!

10-28-2015 Adam Montana [Do you think it might be at all possible (if not probable) to have a RV, before a HCL agreement takes place?] Yes, absolutely possible. I won't say "probable" because it's "probably" about a 50/50 chance it could go either way. But if the HCL happens first, then it becomes 90/10 that the RV is within days, if not moments.

10-28-2015 Frank26 [When do I think I will see the LDs at the CBI?] Next month they are...EXPECTED! ITEAM just reported ...We are very close.

10-29-2015 Mnt Goat How could you RV without the anti-money laundering law? (financial reforms). How could you RV without the terrorist law? (security reforms). How could you RV without an Investment law? (economic, financial and security reforms). How could you RV without the National Unity Card? (security and economic reforms). How could you RV without first setting up the Customs and Tariffs, ISX and printing the 50k and100k notes? (economic and financial reforms). How could you RV without launching the lower denominations at the banks? (financial reform). How could you RV without the National Guard law (security reforms). How can they RV without getting rid of the Iranian influence, Maliki and his goons (political reforms). How can they RV without cleaning up all the corruption in the ministries (political reforms). How can they RV without getting rid of ISIS and under control (security reforms). I AM TELLING YOU – ALL THESE PROJECTS ARE PART OF THE EEFORTS TO STABILIZE IRAQ. It is all moving ahead with lightening speed but it is a process and contains many events that must be done prior to the RV now that the GREEN light has been given since last March. There will be no RV until at least late December or early 2016 sometime. Just way too much intel telling us it could not happen until this timeframe.

10-29-2015 rcookie THE AMENDMENT TO THE INVESTMENT LAW VOTED ON AND UNANIMOUSLY PASSED...THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR 5-6 YEARS ON THE DETAILS OF FACILITY AND INVESTOR PROTECTIONS IN THE INVESTMENT LAW AMENDMENT THAT WAS VOTED ON ...5-6 YEARS!...INCLUDING NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION...AND INVESTMENT AUTHORITY WILL ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPLEMENT...WHY BOTHER TO LAY ALL THE GROUNDWORK TO IMPLEMENT THESE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, INVESTMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR MECHANISMS IF YOUR CURRENCY IS NOT INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED...AND ARTIFICIALLY SUPPRESSED.

10-29-2015 Millionday [So, they are planning on activating the market economy by mid 2016. So, that means that we will probably not see a rate change until that time, correct?] I HAVE NOT SEEN 2016 BEING THE TIMELINE OF ACTIVATION -- IN FACT INDUSTRY IS BEING ACTIVATED /LICENSED ACCORDING TO NEWS TODAY -- LOTS GOING ON. IRAQ HAS ASKED BP TO RAISE THEIR RATE OF WORK IN IRAQ -- THIS IS BIG DUE TO CHINA AND BP SIGNED AGREEMENT IN SOUTH FIELDS. THE DATE IS NOT RELEASED BUT IMO -- AND BY MUCH IN THE REPORTS -- ANYTIME.

10-29-2015 Frank26 For the past one to one and half months the Investment Law, the HCL, in fact all the laws have been long passed...but what they have done is “amend” the laws, not make new laws...they have been doing this with ALL laws...they had these laws ready weeks ago...they were designed and amended to meet IMF standards...these laws have ALL been done to INTERNATIONAL standards...and are ready to go FULL throttle. They unanimously approved all the laws yesterday we believe...but they are not ready to be released yet. In thinking back to last year...I believe I told some of you...expect the LD’s in November...they will drive the rate of the currency up... ...the Top Teams called in today and they had one thing to say, “WE ARE VERY CLOSE”. They have 100% security. They have 100% laws. NO LD’s yet...but are EXPECTED in Nov.
