1-24-2015 *Kaperoni ~the recent articles from the CBI indicating they are ready to “participate and promote development” are encouraging. I want to point out that Dr. Bakri [Economist] states the dinar "first needs to improve" (raise in value) before they can move to Article VIII. In other words, the float may be institutional and gradual before they accept Article VIII and a new Exchange Regime. I also get the impression that the dinar can be convertible worldwide without technically accepting Article VIII. And lastly, he says... "improvement comes through delete some zeros" which to me again seems to imply a gradual appreciation because as the dinar rises, zeros begin to go away... he did...confirm the process is moving along, that the reforms are happening, and there is promise...and more importantly the new GOI is moving in the right direction. Iraq's economy is complex for sure. But I don't think what we are looking for will take much longer. As for currency reform, the timing will be kept secret within the CBI...
