Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 9-8-2023
9-8-2023 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I believe there is nothing more for the CBI to do but to issue the lower denominations and them to watch for inflation over a period, as their plan states they will do, and if all goes well, they liberate their currency to the global markets as in FOREX. I thought we needed the Oil and Gas Law passed first? Yes, I still believe they do and we might have to wait for it. But there is a chance that based on how fast the economy is growing they may just put that on the back burner and rethink it (remember that Dr Shababi in 2012-2013 did not have this law passed, yet he was moving forward). We must remember the past. Read more…

Not to mention all the minerals and agricultural products being exported. So why still at 1/6 of a penny? Read more…
