CSHessman: trying to recall ... didn't W$ say that whenever we saw Article 140 in force we would see the rate soon thereafter ??? memory is a little fuzzy on that ... anyone else recall that more affirmatively? ps this is looking kinda BIGLY to me...(smile)
Iobey777: IMO..YES! AndI also think it’s BIG!!
Moparman: This is huge and I believe that this will be in affect after the currency has value.
Tivon: IMO: The Supreme Court already demanded that they activate Article 140. But sense Iraq is still under a corrupt proxy government the Oil & Gas Law can not pass.
The second legislative term is just about started and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also yet to have their suggestions and warnings adhered to when they said multiple times last month that Iraq needs to change their fiscal policy status.
Also on September 3rd deputies of political parties within the (GOI) lose their immunity in a few days. So maybe this will expedite the process of initiating Article 140 as those who are found to be guilty of corruption are already listed as persons of interest through Interpol.
We know the new fiscal year starts Oct 1st. Along with that comes the NASDAQ trade deal with Iraq which we suppose will accompany a new rate.
Aside from that the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) is exclusively independent of the government and has the authority to implement the deletion of the 3 zeros project. Jordan & Iraq officially launched joint economic trade today which supports the private sector.
