Transforming Iraq's economy into market systems, theory and practice

Growth is expected to rise to 8.1 percent in 2020, mainly due to higher oil production and exports. Non-oil growth is expected to remain positive on the back of higher investment needed to rebuild the infrastructure and private consumption network Wallstroke

However, the recently approved 2019 budget represents a significant increase in recurrent spending. Unless there is a major reorientation in the fiscal policy of the comprehensive recovery approach, there will be limited fiscal space to support post-war recovery and long-term development.

And the adjustment of monetary policy under the supervision of the Central Bank to achieve monetary policy consistent with the development plans and regulate the market selling currencies and strengthen the role of the Central Bank in the control of the work of banks and invest cash reserves in line with international changes.

The study included valuable proposals for the development of the Iraqi economy. link

Looks like they are following up with what we learned yesterday.

It was a big day.

We learned not only did the Citizens and even the Kurds get their pay on time electronically and through out the 04/08/2019 - 04/18/2019 time period, then the ITB did a ribbon cutting bank ceremony and were somewhat vague on when they would open branches oce done bragging about it, just as the Rasheed Bank was vague as well. Why be vague? Smart move.. Imo

Yet today, the ITB forecasts mid May to be open and be operational for investors in and out of the Kingdom? Well, imo there is a possible logic for that. It is an Iraq Bank in a foreign brotherly land. Therefore, they will need to meet the needs of both brothers, imo.

We also should know by now that investors that trade internationally and by the same international standards, typically trade in quality and not at "Sub Par". A program rate is by far, sub par.

Just look at the ISX pricing when at a program rate. Most stocks wouldn't qualify for the Pink Sheets in America. Way to risky. The Board of Directors by laws don't allow it for real investors.

The real players in the region expect Sakuk! The whole regional area does. GCC, AMF, etc.. They will not be looking to buy stocks that trade at $.00002 a share. (well if they did they may/would own the whole stock exchange in seconds.. lol).

The NASDAQ opening bid price is $2.00 - $4.00 per share with qualifiers at the lower end.. So, when they say they are serious, they mean it, as in they say this: "especially after the support provided by the Kingdom to investors and investors to invest in Saudi markets. "

They told us yesterday that Iraq has the full resources from the Saudi Arabian Kingdom to further their progress in re construction and oil exploration in the Sahara. This supports they are waiting on an international rate to be exposed for them to be secure in that investors are taken care of in kind, imo. They want safe and secure, a level playing field if you will. Sound familiar? Lol

So lets look at this quote.. We were just talking about resources.. Well the citizens, banks, businesses, etc need resources.. lol They need new products.. They need the new small category notes that have been baught and paid for already..

("The head of the Central Bank of Iraq Branch of Basra in a press statement briefed by the "Covenant News", said that in view of the small groups of the Iraqi currency traded in the markets, the Iraqi Central Bank branch in Basra sought to provide these quantities for the purpose of facilitating the deal between a single trader And the citizen. He stressed that the provision of cash from all groups will facilitate the sale and purchase between citizens and owners of shops.")

Well all groups are just that!! All groups, as in also change.. imo ~MM
