During this workshop, the team working at the Buna platform for Arab payments will give a presentation on the latest developments related to Buna's activity and progress, including revealing the details related to the currency exchange service, which the Buna platform for Arab payments is preparing to launch during the second half of the year. 2022.

Sir: Could we be looking at a basket of currency’s and a float of those currency’s? July surely looks promising! Imo
Tivon: They said preparing to launch in the 2nd half. I would like to presume that we are in that period now. So I'm expecting this to launch fairly soon.
But to be honest they are being purposely vague about which month this year. I would say the reason is that one would automatically deduce that given a specific timeframe it would tip off speculators as to when the CBI would have to be ready to launch as well.
So of course they could only say 2nd period of this year which could be any month.
But given where we are with certain developments I think this platform would be the method of choice for the Dinar. Or maybe the CBI has another plan. Not sure but the former seems more viable. IMO
Suzie: They have to cover the FSL with something other than "toilet" paper money in MY OPINION.....
DoTalktoMe: second half. It would be nice if they would have said the 3rd quarter. July - September.
Typical of Iraq will be to drag it out as long as possible.
Tivon: Well I would like to think that Buna knows how sensitive this process is. If they gave us a clear date it was cause unwanted attention to financial institutions like the CBI. That's why even though saying the second half is their launch pad they have to leave breathing room for the overall operation. Because we are not getting this information from the CBI. which has to be considered in this matter. IMO
~~~~~~~~~~~~
MilitiaMan: The looks of this support data from the AMF that the region is fully ready for currency exchanges and conversions is telling.
Electronic cross border payments in multiple currencies is exactly what Iraq will be apart of. The second half of 2022 is within days to a couple weeks, as we all know.
Well, if Iraq is going to be one of the largest trading partners in the region and the re construction of the country is to be under way shortly, they'll need to get the exchange rate of the IQD internationally accepted and cleared.
The new ATMs with currency recycling and mention of coins to day are huge clues as to that Iraq is getting ready for internationalism by those two items alone a long with the AMF being ready for more currencies. The education is underway and gaining steam in Iraq..
All looks very good.. imo ~ MM
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tivon: Yeppers, 2nd half of this year is July 1st. Which would definitely explain why the articles about the ATMs coming out earlier than expected from what Frank mentioned makes plenty of sense. So of course they want to get ahead of that and get the flow of information going to acclimate the general public. I mean they have to turn these things on very soon. Why even deploy them in the first place if the reinstatement is contingent upon swapping out the old for the new? That's what the machines do right? IMO
Clare: NEW - Powell: "Rapid changes are taking place in the global monetary system that may affect the international role of the dollar."

Wagmister: White paper. He did say white papers
MilitiaMan: He did and his mannerisms suggest urgency. He appears actually nervous. Even his paper works was folded and crinkled.. lol 137 Countries signed on the CBDCs and even at the retail level. They also agreed to Global Taxation.. Rapid change is open us and his white papers may be different than Iraq's but, I'll bet your bottom dollar they'll likely mirror themselves accordingly with respect to clearing currency digitally in the future. That level playing field likely scares the "bejeezzous" out of him.. lol ~ MM
