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

Not to drift off topic and coming back to Iraq, we have seen the GOI's lack of interest to their people by delays and not being bothered to turn up to work. Now they're being docked wages if they don't turn up. What does that tell you?! Only pressure from the US, and Kurds that are making sure of Laws being passed etc....

They will all be a lot wealthier for this reval, they know it's coming, as do we.

The delay is killing me, lol.
I'm still wondering what's stoping them from renewing the info on the central bank of iraq webpage. I guess they're still deciding if it goes above the doller, two or so. Let's hope it just gets as high as it can, making us filthy rich.

Maybe they just like to make stuff up. lol

Email I got back from ISX.....Have emailed back with more questions relating to hydrocarbon law, MoF's recent comments and the 10k loan. See what I get back....Sounds a load of old shiite eh?


I am afraid we have no notion. The whole situation in Iraq is very fluid and until the security situation improves radically there is little hope of any real financial or economic activity.

Was thinking bout this last night, the FIL was passed few weeks ago, why have they not put it into the gazette and opened the doors to foreigners? Why, because they are tying it in with the hydrocarbon law and will reval at the same time.
