Militia Man Article: “The Iraqi Central Bank issues a warning to banks regarding dollar deposits.” A fresh edict from the central bank…Spelling out that the citizens have the right to redeem their deposits in the banks and that the monies are guaranteed and it is their inherent right to do so through or by the year 2024. None the less the unprecedented crowds ensued…What is unusual is…the way the Central Bank exposed those [banks] that didn’t have the money on hand were apparently found to be speculating with depositors funds in dollars. That is not good and there will be consequences. The Central Bank is now going to take measures against banks that abstain from taking care of their obligations to the citizens.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The dollar is out of control and we afraid from what TV says makes like we are in trouble. FRANK: It’s just the same ole exaggeration…please don’t drown on a drop of water…Both Alaq and Sudani are doing the monetary reform and they’re doing it to the best of their abilities. I will admit they are kind of slow and I wish they would speed it up. One of the requirements is to remove all foreign currency because you are now a sovereign country with a sovereign national currency which will soon have a new international exchange rate…
Good businesses Iraq IQD
