Aggiedad77:   Since several have asked, I will try and pull some of this article apart…..it obviously has Frank quite excited and just that should be enough cause to step up the level of good cheer a notch or two or three….

Come February 22 the CBI governor is stating that the Central Bank will be moving away from its old ways to a new phase…..what he is saying is that they do not sell currency as though it were being fed out of an ATM…and that going forward this new phase will now be able to conduct foreign remittances through the new banking system….

This next part to me is HUGE….the CBI is no longer a party to “the process of buying and selling currency”…..this Family is what the CBI has been doing for the last however many years….buying and selling currency…..this sounds to me like they will be exchanging currency very soon….just as you would do if you had Canadian money and wanted to “exchange” it back to USD….an international transaction…..not a buying and selling type of transaction….

GOOD NEWS…..Sunday will bring about this mechanism…..the governor also stated that the project about the 000’s is still intact and is being studied to ensure it is both feasible and to ensure the safety of its application….meaning that they want to make sure of the planning that had been done back in 2012 is still viable and that their safety devices are in place to ensure a smooth movement of the project….

Banks are being asked to strengthen their position or balance of USD deposits to IQD deposits and that they should be equal for them to continue to do business…..these changes that the governor speaks of would need to have banking laws in place to make them happen….in place with the budget……remember the budget is getting set to open on Sunday also……

They are working hard to eliminate money-laundering activities as well as any other types of fraud or possibilities of money being used to fund terrorist activities….they are tightening their belts in a good way to prepare for something….something more than continued auctions….

IMO…..exciting times lie ahead I think….the dinar figures they mention Family are not anything to worry about these are amounts that the Iraqis charge for buying/selling the IQD/USD…..no one has mentioned this yet….but give some thought to Article 8 compliance….wouldn’t they have to be there NOW for the CBI to be making these kinds of changes….just thinking out loud here.

I hope I haven’t just made mud here.

All is good.  Remember the BEST is yet to come.     Aloha     Randy
