i stand corrected, his was the 2 year scenario. i get confused by all these far fetched predictions.

The following suggests to me that the CBI may have met its inflation target, which is why they slowed the appreciation of the dinar –[adjustment for inflation] Perhaps now is the time for leaping to the former level…..

Central Bank’s US Dollar (USD) Currency Auction:
• The following table shows volume sold of and exchange rates for USD in the Iraqi currency auction since April. Since
September, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has slowly appreciated the dinar, as suggested by the IMF, in an effort to rein in
galloping inflation. There are early signs that this effort may have begun to bear fruit, as year- to- date inflation is 2.8%,
which projects a pace well below the IMF annual target of 30%. However, this decline in the rate of inflation may be
temporary, as the CBI has slowed its appreciation of the currency and the rate of inflation (particularly for energy prices)
typically picks up in the second half of the year.

Gates pointed to the improved security situation in Anbar, but noted that the security turmoil continues in the province of Diyala. He said in this regard, «for the security situation, we still have three months ... there are some positive signs and some negative indicators also».

Meanwhile, the American Ambassador Ryan Crocker «We are tremendous pressures and the Iraqi government is trying to move forward but progress is still slow disappointing».

She added that although the acts of violence fell in Baghdad, but the overall level of violence in Iraq has not changed; The hardliners simply transferred their bases outside the capital
