KTFA:Samson: The Framework Announces The Move Towards Collecting Parliamentary Signatures To Change The Dollar Exchange Rate
1st February, 2022
The deputy of the coordination framework, Ibtisam Al-Hilali, revealed, on Tuesday, the framework’s move to collect parliamentary signatures to restore the dollar exchange rate to its previous rate, surprising at the government’s insistence on maintaining the exchange rate, especially with the recovery of oil markets during the past weeks.
Al-Hilali said in a statement to “The Information”, “The coordination framework is moving towards collecting parliamentary signatures in order to restore the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar or reduce its current price.”
She added that “the framework’s movement in this regard is still continuing until the will of the Iraqi people, who were affected by the high exchange rate of the dollar, is achieved,” noting that “the government raised the exchange rate in order to supplement the 2012 budget, and now it has obtained additional funds due to the high oil price.”
And the representative of the State of Law coalition, Firas Al-Maslmawi, confirmed in a previous statement, that his coalition and a number of members of Parliament within the same direction will not allow the budget to be passed for the current year except after a reduction in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar.

Suzie: Just curious if Iraq IS conducting business internationally and the education of the people and banks is pretty much complete why haven’t they exposed/shown the nscn (New Small Currency Notes) yet? Seems like a reasonable question….especially with news that the ri/rv could happen almost any day now.
Clare: BECAUSE THE NSCN’S ARE MAINLY FOR THEIR PEOPLE- THEY WILL BE EXPOSED WHEN THE RATE CHANGES OR AS FRANK THINKS RIGHT BEFORE, TO GET THE PEOPLE TO SEE THEM FIRST BUT WHICHEVER WAY IT GOES IT WILL BE IN SYNCH & PRETTY FAST AT THAT POINT IMO…
THE PRIVATE BANK EDUCATION IS DONE AS FRANK & WS TOLD US.. …WE LITERALLY ARE JUST WAITING FOR THIS TO “POP” … THEY WILL NOT EXPOSE THE NSCN’s WITHOUT AN IMMINENT RATE CHANGE- THINK ABOUT IT WHY WOULD THEY? THEY CAN’T BE USED WITHOUT A NEW RATE…
I DON’T KNOW IF ANYONE REALLY DOES KNOW AS A FACT WHY WE ARE STILL WAITING… IT IS ABOUT IRAQ BUT NOT ONLY ABOUT IRAQ… IMO
The Snod: IMHO, looking at the volume and information flow from inside and outside sources. It appears most likely they will hit the 2nd phase of the White Papers after the formal seating of the gov’t. This gov’t will vote in the FML, HCL, and what other laws are associated to the budget and the next stage of the monetary reform. There should be a rate fairly adjacent to it to make it work. That, of course, means NSCN’s are lurking around it. All conversations are where we want them. We are just waiting to see how it will all actually be coordinated.
GodLover: The.Snod always good to see you post. I agree, something I had felt a requirement imo long ago, a seated government. I as well look to parliament to pass international laws as some articles implied & of course the 2022 budget. I as well agree the rate should be right around the time of budget approval/opening imo. The rate known (to us that is) prior to opening the budget seems irrelevant to me imo. God willing the NSCN training had taken place & they are ready whenever is needed upon opening of the budget. Please let this never ending ride be over with soon, lol.
The Snod: Amen to that. I think we’re all sick of it, but the longer it goes, the more I see what a tremendous undertaking it is to get a whole nation, that was blasted back to the Jurassic Age, grafted back into the international world!

Samson: Iraq maintains its global and Arab position in gold reserves
01/02/2022 11:04:34
The World Gold Council published last January its report on the reserves of the central banks in the world of gold, and the data showed that the reserves amounted to 35571.3 tons of the metal.
According to the data, total reserves increased by 11 tons in the January 2022 report, compared to December 2021.
The United States leads the world in precious metal reserves, with 8,133.5 tons, followed by Germany (3,359.1 tons), then Italy (2451.8 tons), France (2436.4 tons), and then Russia (2298.5 tons).
Gold is a safe haven, especially in times of crisis, as many people tend to buy it to hedge against inflation risks, and in the past years, the prices of the precious metal have risen in light of the Corona virus crisis and its consequences.
As for the Arab world, Saudi Arabia leads the Arab countries in gold reserves, as the Kingdom owns 323.1 tons of the precious metal, according to the first report of the World Gold Council this year, while Iraq ranked 39th globally and fifth in the Arab world with 96.4 tons of gold.
The following is a table showing the ranking of Arab countries in gold reserves based on the report of the World Gold Council last month: LINK
