with 14.4 trillion M2, a 25% reserve requirement, the dinar could easily be valued at 1 usd = 270 IQD

Something else really caught my attention. the M2 shown for September was 18.92 trillion dinar but for the week ending on October 5th the M2 is shown as 13.16 trillion. Somehow they managed to reduce the M2 by 5 trillion dinar and we missed it. By the week ending November 23rd the M2 had increased to 14.41 trillion. What concerns me is that we didn't see any thing that should of tipped us off to the fact that they removing 5 trillion dinar from circulation and during the auctions that we've seen over 2 trillion dinar pulled from circulation the M2 has increased by 1 trillion. I'm very confused about this decrease/increase in M2. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Thanks!

I see what you are saying and yes it is confusing. I have pm you, and I think the best person that might be albe to give us a good explanation on this would be Mr. Wm. Knowles or is there anyone else with a back ground that can answer this. I myself would be interested to find out the answer. I believe that there is one and we just don't see it. Like paying off depts or putting the monies back in because of the checks that they were going to hand out who knows, but there has to be some kind of an answer.

A letter to US president Geroge Bush

12/17/2006 KurdishMedia.com
The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States of America
The White House
Washington, D.C., USA

11 December 2006

Dear President Bush,
Greetings

My name is Mohammad Sadik; I am the president of Salahaddin University, the oldest and the largest university in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, with a student population of 23,000. I am an academic and not a politician but I am a friend of you and all the Americans, as is 99% of the population of our Region. I want to emphasize the word FRIEND as I want it to be the centre of my address to your Excellency.
The Kurds who fought with America in 2003 are very grateful to you and the men and women of the US Military for liberating Iraq from the tyrant Saddam. After the liberation of Iraq in April 2003, many American people, both civilian and military, have visited our Region and discovered for themselves that the peoples of the Kurdistan Region are their true friends.

May I take a moment to explain that we are many peoples. While predominantly Kurd, we are also Turkmen, non-Kurd Christian, Arab, Armenian, and others. The regrettable threat of violence in other parts of our country has provoked thousands of families to flee to our Region where Arab Shia and Arab Sunni and Christians live side-by-side in peace and security. All are safe under the security of our Kurdistan Regional Government.

In 2005, I heard Chat Blakeman, the American Consul in Kirkuk, speaking to his daughter on the phone from Erbil and describing our Region to her: “My daughter, I am in a part of Iraq with wonderful people, the Kurds. Its like if I ever have a flat tire they would all come to my rescue and change the tire for me because they love Americans. Do not worry about me; I am now in a safe place”.

In January 2005, American planes attacked one of our student dormitories in Erbil City in the middle of the night. I came out immediately and made the statement that it is a mistake made by our friends and I am sure no harm was intended. It turned out to be a mistake; apologies were made at the time and accepted. I felt as the president of the university I had the duty to preserve this love and friendship between the Americans and the peoples of the Kurdistan Region.

Mr. President, I have read the Baker-Hamilton report and fully appreciate the volatile situation in Iraq and the Middle East region. However, I want you to consider one thing and that is that Americans have been greeted nowhere else in the world with flowers from an entire nation, except in the Kurdistan Region. Having said this, the Baker-Hamilton Commission paid no visit to our Region to discover the value and meaning of our friendship. They formed their conclusions from a severely limited, isolated view inside the Baghdad Green Zone.

The solution to the Iraq problem will only be achieved with the help of your friends in the Middle East region who are very few. The peoples of the Kurdistan Region look forward to your policy statement on Iraq and not to the Baker-Hamilton report. The people of our Region have grown beyond the bitter experiences of betrayals and neglect, most notably those of 1975 and 1991. Please do not allow the memories to rekindle fears that it will happen again. Please do stick with your friends here.

I believe you, as the President of the United States, have the responsibility of keeping the good relationship between Americans and the peoples of the Kurdistan Region intact. Our Region is the only place in Iraq where you can have a safe base among friends.

I look forward to hearing your policy statement on Iraq.

Yours sincerely,

Mohammad Sadik (PhD),
President, Salahaddin University, Erbil, Kurdistan-Iraq

The rise in the value of the dinar.

The high price of the new currency has revived hopes prosperous economic future.

بالرغم من ظهور صور السيارات المفخخة وحوادث اطلاق النار والمتظاهرين الغاضبين في العراق عبر شاشات التلفاز العربية كل ليلة، يبقى رجال الأعمال في المنطقة، يراهنون على مستقبل اقتصادي مزدهر للبلد الذي مزقتة الحروب.Despite the emergence of the pictures of car bombs and shootings and angry demonstrators in Iraq through Arab television screens every night, remains businessmen in the region, betting on the future economic prosperity of the country, which has been ravaged by war.

ان هذه في الأقل، هي كلمة أحد العراقيين الذي ذكر ان الاندفاع لشراء الدينار العراقي الجديد، يكمن في ارتفاع قيمته من 1,650 الى أعلى بقيمة ألف واحد للدولار الواحد في خلال يومين فقط.That at least, is the word one of the Iraqis, who stated that the rush to buy the new Iraqi dinar, lies in the high value from 1,650 to the highest value of one thousand per dollar within two days only.

وقال نصير عباس، مدير شركة الخليج للصيرفة في بغداد "ان رجال الأعمال الأردنيين يبيعون كميات كبيرة من الدولارات لشراء النقود العراقية الجديدة."He hailed Abbas, the director of the Gulf banking company in Baghdad, "The Jordanian businessmen were selling large amounts of dollars to buy new Iraqi money."

والشيء نفسه يحدث في البصرة، عدا ان الكويتيين هم الذين يشترون. كما ذكر صباح فائق صاحب شركة صيرفة في الميناء الجنوبي.And the same thing is happening in Basra, except that the Kuwaitis are buying. As the morning assurances of the banking company in the southern port.

وكما جاء في تقرير صادر عن صحيفة الأهرام الحكومية المصرية فقد قام رجال الأعمال المصريين بشراء الدنانير، مع استثناء في ان ثروة العراق النفطية في النهاية هي السبب في ارتفاع قيمة العملة.As stated in the report issued by the Egyptian government newspaper Al-Ahram had the businessmen to buy dinars, with the exception that Iraq's oil wealth in the end is the reason for the high value of the currency.

ويأتي الارتفاع الصاروخي لقيمة العملة العراقية الجديدة إثر انتهاء صلاحية تداول الدنانير القديمة التي حملت وجه صدام حسين في 15/ كانون الثاني، مما أفسح الطريق أمام الأوراق الجديدة التي صدرت في تشرين الأول الماضي.The rocket rise of the value of the Iraqi currency impact of the new expiry of the circulation of the old dinars, which bore the face of Saddam Hussein in the 15 / January, which paved the way for the new securities issued last October.

وقال مهند رحيم، مدير معرض سيارات فتح "كنا معتادين على استخدم الدولار لشراء السيارات من الأردن والإمارات، والآن وبعد طبع العملة الجديدة، وافقت الشركات على تصدير السيارات الى العراق مقابل النقود العراقية."He said Mohaned Rahim, Director of Auto Fair opened, "we used to use the dollar to buy cars from Jordan and the UAE, and now after printing the new currency, and the companies agreed to export cars to Iraq for the Iraqi money."

وجاء الارتفاع أيضاً مع بداية موسم الحج، الذي يعد تقليدياً وقتاً كئيباً للعملات العربية, اذ يندفع الحجاج لتغيير عملاتهم بالدولار للانفاق في السعودية.The rise also came with the beginning of the pilgrimage season, which is traditionally a very bleak time for the Arab currencies, as pilgrims heading saying goodbye for the last time to change the dollar to be spent in Saudi Arabia.

ولكن في هذه السنة، أصبح الدينار العراقي الجديد عملة للاختيار بالنسبة للحجاج.But this year, the new Iraqi dinar currency of choice for the pilgrims.

وقال مصطفى عبد الرزاق المهداوي، مدير شركة مكة المكرمة المتخصصة برحلات الحج "لقد وافقت حكومة السعودية على القيام بالمبادلات التجارية مع العراقيين بالعملة العراقية. "Mustafa said Abdul Razak Mihdawi, director of a company specialized in Mecca pilgrimage trips, "I have agreed to do the Saudi government trade exchange with the Iraqis in Iraqi currency. "

ويستخدم حالياً كل من الدينار والدولار في المحلات العراقية، وهذا تغير عن الماضي القريب حيث كانت العملة الأمريكية تستخدم عادة لشراء البضائع المستوردة الغالية ـ مثل الألكترونيات.Currently used by the dinar and the dollar in the stores Iraq, and this change from the recent past, where the American currency typically used to buy expensive imported goods such as electronics.

وقال علي عثمان الفتلاوي، موظف في شركة حبوب في القطاع العام "ان الانخفاض في الدولار يحقق الفائدة لكل مواطن يتسلم راتبه بالعملة العراقية لأن هذا سيمكنه من شراء أي شيء يباع بالدولار بقيمة أكبر." وأشار الفتلاوي "كان جهاز الفيديو ـ سي دي ـ يباع سابقاً بسعر (60) ألف دينار عراقي، بينما لا يساوي اليوم أكثر من (46) ألف دينار."He said Ali Osman Alvtlaoui, an employee in the company grains in the public sector "that the decline in the dollar benefit each citizen receives his salary in Iraqi currency, as this will allow him to buy anything sold the largest dollar value." The Alvtlaoui "was a video CDs sold at a price previously (60) thousand Iraqi dinars, while today is not equivalent to more than (46) thousand dinars."

إلا ان سيف معتز الذي يعمل مترجماً مع الجيش الأمريكي، اشتكى من ان أجرته البالغة (450) دولاراً قد انخفضت قيمتها الى أكثر بقليل من نصف قيمتها السابقة. وقال "اذا ما استمر الدولار ينخفض فانني سأكون مضطراً للبحث عن عمل آخر بالدينار."However, Seif Motaz who works as an interpreter with the American army, complained that the interview of (450) net worth had declined to slightly more than half of the previous value. He said, "if the dollar continued to fall I will have to look for other work dinars."

مع ذلك، فان أهل الزمن الماضي ينظرون الى الأمور بقياساتهم، فيتذكرون الأيام الماضية قبل حدوث التضخم في فترة العقوبات، عندما كان الدينار الواحد يساوي أكثر من ثلاثة دولارات.However, the last time people looked at things Bqiasathm, Vitzkron last days before inflation in the Penal Code, when the dinar is equal to more than three dollars.

وقال رسول حمادي النعيمي البالغ من العمر (65) سنة "آمل ان يعود الدينار للقيمة نفسها التي كان عليها في الستينات والسبعينات. في كل مرة يرتفع فيها الدينار، تحدث أشياء طيبة للعراق وللاقتصاد العراقي."He said Rasul Al-Hammadi of age (65) years, "I hope that the value of the dinar itself, which was in the 1960s and 1970s. Each time high dinar, good things happen to Iraq and the Iraqi economy. "

Sunday, December 17, 2006 50 percent of Iraqis' now unemployed
(MENAFN) Curtailing unemployment, which is now approaching 50 percent in the Iraqi workforce of some regions, is essential to restoring stability, the Iraq Directory reports. The Minister of Labor and Social Affairs has proposed a project to offer short-term financing for new companies. With thousands of small-scale business possibilities, he has requisitioned the government to provide funds for this project in the coming year. The plan involves offering assistance to families who are now dependent on government subsidies. Providing small, short term financing of $6,600 to initiate new businesses will also help citizens to rebuild their country.

Nearly half of Iraqis able to work are idle, said Minister of Labor and Social Affairs.

Mohamed Radhi said the high jobless rate was devastating to a country torn by sectarian strife and violence.

He said combating unemployment was as important as the fight against ‘terror’. Joblessness plays into the hands of ‘terrorists’, he said.

He said he had drawn a plan to provide short-term loans to families willing to start up their own businesses particularly those who depend on social benefits for a living.

“This project will contribute to defeating terror and terrorists who target sources of energy and labor. As a result unemployment has reached more than 50 per cent in some provinces,” he said.

He said he had 100,000 small-sized projects in mind and has urged the government set aside enough allocations to have the scheme in place in 2007.

Each family will be given a loan of 10,000 dinars (approx. $6,600) to start the project, he said.

Iraqi Unions Attack Oil Privatization
17 December 2006 (Infozine)

United Press International is reporting: "Five Iraqi trade union federations have condemned federal oil law negotiations for being too corporation-friendly."

Washington, D.C. - Institute for Public Accuracy - infoZine - The wire service quoted Hasan Jum'a, president of the Federation of Oil Unions, as saying: "This law has a lot of problems. It was prepared without consulting Iraqi experts, Iraqi civil society or trade unions."

Dow Jones reports: "Iraqi trade unionists criticized the major role for foreign companies in the draft law, which specifies that up to two-thirds of Iraq's known reserves would be developed by multinationals, under contracts lasting 15 to 20 years. \

The negotiations for a new Iraq hydrocarbon law continued this week with the circulation of a draft law that recommends the government sign production sharing agreements and other service and buyback contracts."

Greg Muttitt ( [email protected] ) met with Iraqi union leaders while in Amman this week and has just returned to London. He is lead researcher at the British group Platform and primary author of the report "Crude Designs: The Rip-Off of Iraq's Oil Wealth," which outlines the structure of production sharing agreements.

Muttitt said yesterday: "The opposition by Iraq's powerful trade unions will dismay the U.S. government, which is keen to see the law in place by the end of the year. Since the summer, U.S. officials have been calling for an oil law to encourage foreign investment in Iraq's oil -- a call reiterated by the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group in its report last week. ...

"In a joint statement, the trade unions rejected 'the handing of control over oil to foreign companies, whose aim is to make big profits at the expense of the Iraqi people, and to rob the national wealth, according to long-term, unfair contracts that undermine the sovereignty of the state and the dignity of the Iraqi people.' The statement added that this was a 'red line' they would not allow to be crossed." www.carbonweb.org/iraq

Director of 50 Years Is Enough, Sameer Dossani ( [email protected] ) said yesterday: "In announcing its agenda for the privatization of Iraqi oil, the Baker-Hamilton report leaves no doubts as to what the U.S. must achieve in order to call its mission successful. It is an agenda laid out by U.S. corporate interests, by what will benefit their bottom line in a world of shrinking oil reserves. By these terms, what President Bush and others are calling a U.S. victory would be a defeat for the Iraqi people who have struggled for decades to control their own fates, their own destinies and their own resources."

"The institutions that the report suggests should enforce these policies are the same institutions that are in charge of ensuring that corporate profits take priority over public need in the rest of the world, namely, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank." 50 Years Is Enough Network
