Turk182: must have missed it, but I did not see anything in these “Instructions” that said anything about “Activation”, “Implementation”, “Rate Change” UGH – Thought we were told that these things would occur Immediately upon posting in Gazette? Not trying to be negative, just trying to understand what the new hold-up is now.
DCDriver: Did you honestly think there would be? That’s not how the CBI or any other central bank changes their exchange rate IMO
DoTalktome: We will be last in line to benifit….IMO…..just stay chill…
