MilitiaMan: Todays article above is a little more in depth and speaks of 2019 reserves, short and long term debt.
Don't forget today they told us they increased the reserves by 14 billion and will again soon to 86 billion. They also remind us that they need the taxes, customs fees, industrial and agricultural side of things to be in line.
By making the decision to reduce the Iraqi dinar (to raise the rate) and to reduce the auctions (which also needs a higher rate), they are mentioning the good it will do, as if you don't raise the rate the imports will ruin the purchasing power for the citizens, thus, the decision to reduce both Auctions and Iraqi Dinar was done or is to be done when the rate changes internationally.
Reduction from the low of 1190/1 down to 1/1 raises the value. The Dinar when reduced it gets more value. They readjusted contracts recently, so, they are going to need to get busy or they'll have to rewrite them again. imo Thus, all that said, we are looking good imo! ~ MM
Pete2001: MM, can you please explain why there will be massive inflation if they don't raise the rate given that they are taking the auctions to once a week....I think that is what a lot of us don't appreciate or understand....and that would be very helpful and put to bed the doubt that this action is not profound for our investment thanks
MilitiaMan: When they reduce the auctions, they'll run out of liquidity in foreign exchange for imports if they don't change the rate imo.
Black markets could start causing problems very fast. They know what they are doing and they are clearly doing what needs to be done, to avoid any issues that will arise.
Until they get a balance with reserve, internal industry, agricultural, taxes and customs in mind, they'll imo need a good solid rate to give purchase power to the citizens, so that they have the time to catch up with all of them over time.. imo. (I am not an economist, so this is only an opinion.). ~ MM
