Thread: Iraq/Dinar News. 09/05 to 01/14/07

I am still very positive about everything!

We must not forget that it is a very difficult task to complete in very little time under bad circumstances.

Well, I also hoped on a RV today. But hell, I am waiting for a year now, I can wait a month longer.

The news coming out about salaries, I think Neno explained it very well. The salaries are part of the restructure program. I think they have to structure the salaries first, pensions and other kind of stuff. This will be done rapidly if I see how quickly they are doing everything right now. It is not what we wanted to see but it still progress and progress is improvement.

Knowing that the Hydrocarbon Law is on the table, the FIL is passed, an trade agreement with the EU will be signed soon we have to see an improvement.

No one knows how high it will be or when it will happen, but I still believe time is running out not only because of the pressure of the Americans but mainly because of the high inflation.

We must stay positive. Our day will come!

Spokesman for the Iraqi government to Dr. Skinner

(((((((((((((((((SNIP))))))))))))))))))))

- An amount of 7000 dinars per month per associate of the national police meal allowance until securing direct Supply

(((((((((((((SNIP)))))))))))))))


He continued : "The Cabinet has decided to increase the salaries of teachers and teachers as well as class eight, so that the minimum salary of 200 thousand dinars per month in addition to the allocations granted to the teachers, teachers, which was approved by the Ministry of Finance, 50 thousand dinars per month for remote areas, and 40 thousand dinars for remote areas and 30 thousand dinars for those serving outside the boundaries of municipalities. "

I think we might want to slow down and be more careful about what we read into things. This clearly states that these amounts are per month, not per year.

You know the territories law that just past. Well in the past when I read that it was saying. That they would be dividing Iraq into three different states. I was just watching CNN and they were saying along with the Iraqis. That it will be actual countries! So the big question is, will they have different currencies? We need to find this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learn about the new Iraqi Dinar
Median price = 1407.90 / 1535.40 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 1407.90 / 1535.40
Maximum price = 1407.90 / 1535.40

Then I put in Dinar convert to USD:

Thursday, October 12, 2006

1 Iraqi Dinar = 0.0007103 US Dollar
1 US Dollar (USD) = 1407.90 Iraqi Dinar (IQD)

Learn about the new Iraqi Dinar
Median price = 0.0006513 / 0.0007103 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 0.0006513 / 0.0007103
Maximum price = 0.0006513 / 0.0007103

Why are the numbers different? Shouldn't they show the same numbers no matter which why you convert???

The ONLY site you need to worry about the rate is that on the CBI website
