Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 10-1-14
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Current situation: Budget: We are extremely close to seeing the budget passed, and in such a way that the Kurds will be happy with it. In fact, Salim Al-Jiburi (the Iraqi speaker) did meet with Yusuf Mohammed (speaker of the Kurdistan region’s parliament) just earlier today, and preliminary reports are showing that they are in agreement on how to move forward. In regards to the budget, it’s interesting to know that more than 20% of the Kurdish regions people are on Government payroll, and that actually accounts for over 70% of the public spending (the money that Baghdad sends to them)… so not only do they want to resolve this quickly, but these are the same government officials who will be pushing hard for an increase in the value because it literally goes right in their own pockets when it happens!
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ISIL/ISIS: There is no way the IS problem will ever be truly and completely eradicated, so the best we can realistically hope for is successful containment. With that said, there are continuing reports of IS militants being driven back, out of Iraq. …the bottom line is that IS is less and less a major concern in Iraq as they are being dealt with, the budget resolution is in motion, and HCL won’t be far behind that.
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru Lojak Article: “Parliament to resume its sessions on October 14, 2014″ there will be emergency sessions well prior to that date… [Can Parliament swear in the Kurdish MPs before the 14th? Articles are saying the 2 month salaries can not be paid until they take the oath.] yes they can, just need an emergency session of Parl.
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru tlm724 Article: “Breaking News Parliament to resume its sessions on October 14, 2014″ Abadi wants this budget passed asap but they can’t do it UNTIL they come to a consensus with the kurds. they have to have inclusion or the country will fail and with their failure comes our failure…trust me when I say it must be done right this time, erasing the mistakes of Maliki is a huge job…
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: “Council of Ministers asked the financial rewrite the budget deficit for the great” Good progress. The CoM will get the revised budget for 2014 to parliament this week. They have to start over reading it 3 times but we could have this approved mid October. [Didn’t I see a new mandate where they only needed to read laws twice?] we will have to wait and see. In any case, it hopefully will pass within a week or so.
10-1-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 The GOI is going on vacation on Saturday, Oct 4 and will return on Thursday, Oct 9 now…when the GOI returns, IMO, they will proceed with the MR [Monetary Reform]. Abadi is working on reform of 27 laws, and these must be finished before we can see an IR [International Rate]; he has until the end of 2014 to accomplish this, but we will see when the GOI returns on Oct 9 how long he takes; some of these pertain to the Erbil agreement. The budget is being audited now, and this is why we saw Barzani run to Baghdad; is the HCL being added to the budget? The disputes between the Kurds and Baghdad are settled IMO because he believes the Kurds have seen the budget and know it is very good for them.
10-1-2014 Intel Guru Frank26 Headlines sound like a plan to vote on the budget after the GOI returns, however, articles also state that with or without the budget, the MR (Monetary Reform) will move forward. Article that the Kurds will be paid with the advancement of the budget; all of things are good for our investment. Article states that Abadi is waiting for financials to come to him, and also states that salaries will be paid before Eid; according to the COM, the payments to the Kurds is coming out of the 2014 budget, and the 2014 budget can only deal in IQD, they cannot use USD or other currency. Can the 2014 budget still contain a program rate of 1166? If it does, how could they be paying salaries? The MR is white hot, and the holiday break is a way to cool it down to accomplish what needs to be finished.
10-1-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Iraq is making progress and the last month or so a significant shift towards passing laws and working to help the Iraqi people is happening. No doubt. But we need to be realistic that it may take another month or two for them to accomplish what is needed to create the right climate to open the economy in Iraq. Any change in dinar value will come as a result in Iraq’s economic progress. We need to be patient and let it come to us.
10-1-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 Confirmed everybody is getting paid this week in Iraq…There is to be a planned announcement Wednesday evening.
9-30-2014 Intel Guru Delta all good news in Iraq right now, the 2 remaining ministers (interior and defense) need to be named, 50/50 chance that we’ll see it before the holiday; Kurds look happy and building trust and confidence with Baghdad; finance committee, COM all asking why the 000 have not been deleted; IMO, if we don’t see anything before the holiday, the second week of Oct after they come back from holiday will be very interesting.
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday [ I gather…the budget did not get passed today?] THE BUDGET WENT TO PARLIAMENT BUT WITH NO OIL FIGURES AND THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THOSE FIGURES SO THAT PARLIAMENT WILL TAKE IT. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT INTO THE NIGHT AND I THINK THEY WENT HOME TO COME BACK EARLY AND FINISH. [any word on ministers getting seated?] ABADI STATED THAT THE LAST TWO WOULD BE BEFORE HOLIDAY AND IS CALLING AN EMERGENCY MEETING.
9-30-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 “In a statement, said the Council had received (treasures media) a copy, “the holiday of Eid al-Adha will begin from Saturday until Thursday of next week.” it is now official. Baghdad – Prime Minister announced, Tuesday, that the holiday of Eid al-Adha begins Saturday and ends on Thursday next week.
9-30-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 WE ARE WITHIN THE LAST 48 HOURS OF THEIR DEADLINE ON BUDGET, LAWS, MINISTERS BEING COMPLETED. OUR QUESTION IS HOW MANY DEADLINES WILL THEY MAKE AND WILL THEY FINISH BEFORE THEIR HOLIDAY OR WILL THEY WORK INTO THE HOLIDAY TO FINISH? TODAY IS A EXCITING TIME FOR ALL IRAQ AND FOR YOU AND I.
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru OOTW AT THE PARLIAMENT SITE – THE FEDERATION COUNCIL BILL IS LISTED AS “PASSED LEGISLATION” IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED TO THE GAZETTE NOW TO BE ACTIVATED. THE FEDERATION COUNCIL ARE GUIDELINES WHICH UNAMI HELPED IRAQ TO DEVELOP WHICH SETS UP A GOVERNING BODY OVER THE ENTIRE IRAQI GOI AND LAW SYSTEM. IT’S TO BE COMPOSED OF FIVE HEADS AND TWO REPS FROM EACH PROVINCE. THEIR WORK OVERSEES ALL MAIN MINISTRIES AND PROJECTS. BECAUSE I CANNOT GET A FULL COPY OF THE UNAMI MANDATE I CAN’T SEE EVERYTHING, BUT THE WORD IS THAT IF MAHMOUD WANTS TO OVERTURN A LAW PRESENTED BEFORE HIM, WHICH HAS BEEN PASSED BY PARLIAMENT, THE FEDERATION COUNCIL CAN GIVE THE GO AHEAD TO IMPLEMENT THE LAW. IT TAKES MORE CONTROLS AWAY FROM A PM AND THE SJC…DISTRIBUTES POWER MORE EVENLY. [i.e. “inclusive” gov’t?] EXACTLY. [So that’s part of the power sharing agreement?] YES.
9-30-2014 Intel Guru WILDDUCK THERE IS NO GCR FOR DUMMIES BOOK DOWN AT BARNES AND NOBEL. THEY ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. [seems like we just might be getting close!] THAT IS CORRECT, I BELIEVE WE ARE VERY CLOSE. [So…” Any Second Now ” ?] I CONCUR WITH YOU. …KNOW THAT THE EARTH ROTATES VERY FAST BUT YOU DO NOT FEEL IT, SO LIKE THE RV /GCR JUST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE IT OR FEEL IT DOES NOT MEAN HUGE STRIDES ARE NOT TAKING PLACE. IMO WE ARE VERY CLOSE AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE LACK OF REAL NEWS. REMEMBER THIS IS A WORLD EVENT NOT JUST IRAQ. ALL THE PIECES HAVE TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THERE IS ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. THERE IS NO DO OVER .
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru Lojak Article [via snowflakes] : “Cabinet decision paying salaries to staff ” Quotes: “Magda al-Tamimi said Chairman of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives interim cabinet did not reach a final decision on the salaries of the staff of the Kurdistan Region.” “She said through a statement to Al-Tamimi Kordsat News: The Council of Ministers will hold a meeting tonight with the Interim Finance Committee in the House of Representatives for a final decision on the salaries of employees of the province of Kurdistan.” Its the key to moving forward in a big way on many, many things. Based on information I just received, I have big faith that a positive result will come of this meeting.
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday AN EMERGENCY MEETING WILL HAPPEN BEFORE HOLIDAY — THE KURDS HAVE JOINED THE GOV AND HAVE 4 MORE POSITIONS — THEY WANTED 5 — THE MEETING IS TO ANNOUNCE THE ENTIRE MINISTRY – THE BUDGET IS GOING TO PARL TOMORROW — AND THEY FINISHED IT — THE KURDS AND FEDERAL HAVE AGREED ON GOV AND THEY HAVE JOINED OFFICIALLY AND THE WAGES WILL BE THERE BEFORE HOLIDAYS WITHIN TWO DAYS THEY SAID. THE MEETING IS TO ANNOUNCE…AND WHAT I HAVE IS THEY ARE SWORN IN.
9-30-2014 Intel Guru MarkZ Ok so the weekend wasn’t what I had hoped for…
Things were happening though and I am ‘ok’ with the progress.
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru Lojak Article: “Iraqi President: Baghdad Will Send Kurds’ Salaries Before Eid” Quote: “It is expected that in the Tuesday [today] meeting, the Baghdad government finalise a decision about sending the budget of the Kurdistan Region.” I think this is needed still…this hopefully will get the Kurds engaged in the government and help vote the missing ministers in.
9-30-2014 Newshound Guru Millionday THE RATE RIGHT NOW IS 1166 — THATS ALL. IT DOESNT MATTER IF 18 BACK ROOM MEETINGS GO ON AND THEY INVITE ALL THEIR FRIENDS — THE ONLY ONE THAT CHANGES THE RATE IS CBI — PERIOD. UNDERSTAND IF THE RATE IS NOT ON CBI — IT HAS NOT CHANGED — NO IF ANDS OR BUTS.
9-30-2014 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 …THE NEXT 48 HOUR OR LESS SHOULD SHOW UP WHAT THEY HAVE COMPLETED AND IF ALL IS COMPLETE THEN THE RATE CHANGE SHOULD FOLLOW VERY QUICKLY AFTERWORDS.
9-30-2014 Intel Guru DC [via Already Blessed] …PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE GAZETTE IS PHYSICALLY LOCATED IN THE LAW LIBRARY IN BAGHDAD AND HAS NOT BEEN ONLINE FOR A FEW YEARS. HE WAS SURPRISED AND CONFUSED AS TO HOW THEY COULD PUBLISH ASPECTS OF THIS WITHOUT THIS BEING AN RV. HE THEN WENT TO THE CBI PEOPLE AND ASKED THEM HOW IT COULD BE PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE AND NOT HAVE A RV…”IS THIS ACCURATE!” AND THEY SAID, “YES, IT IS ACCURATE BUT WE JUST HAVEN’T DONE THE RV YET.” IT WAS ALSO RUNNING ON ALL THEIR TV SHOWS.
