If the CBI had a bold adjustment in mind, what's the need to make such insignificant changes to the exchange rate, which are practically meaningless given the current economic situation in Iraq? Apart from fuelling speculators' interest, what other purpose does this slow movement serve? It's probable that CBI will continue to adopt a steady and slow movement rather than a bold adjustment. I commented in Oct that the revalue could happen in the first quarter of 2007 and was derided for have an unshined crystal ball!

I, for one, am extremely keen to see this ride come to an end but have to remind myself that this could be a gradual upward movement rather than a sudden overnight rv. Let me state that I would love to be proven wrong for personal reasons!

Enjoy your holidays!

I mentioned this one time before, but, I believe, part of their strategy in taking their time has to do with causing discouragement in as many as possible who have been waiting for the revalue. If this discouragement is allowed, by us, to take root, it means more dinar taken out of circulation that they would otherwise have to redeem at a much higher rate. I know there have several posts that have mentioned "lower denominations" are the key, but truthfully, patience has always been my biggest nemesis...and it still is and it's wearing thin?
