Donnie: Expert: Iran nuclear deal will raise the pressure on the dollar in Iraq

Donnie: Qurtas News / Baghdad Predicted economist Ahmed Fahmy, Thursday, that the nuclear agreement between Iran and the West is reflected positively on the Middle East and the Gulf region. Fahmi said in a statement to "Qurtas News" that "the arrival of Iranian and west sides to an agreement after 21 months of tough negotiations and years of tension and sanctions against Tehran would reflect positively on the Middle East and the Gulf region in general."

Fahmi said that "Iraq is Iran's closest neighbor and the largest affected troublesome and international sanctions against Iran, the results of the agreement gradually lift economic sanctions on Tehran, which will lead to the lifting of the pressure on the dollar in the Iraqi market prices."

Exclusive: Iraq seeks credit rating before jumbo bond issue
DUBAI | BY HADEEL AL SAYEGH

Iraq plans to obtain a sovereign credit rating and is approaching rating agencies as it prepares for a jumbo $5 billion bond issue needed to cover a budget deficit caused by low oil prices, its finance minister said on Thursday.

"We started the process," Hoshiyar Zebari told Reuters by telephone. "The banks are also trying to help us in that direction.”

Iraq has said it will issue $5 billion of debt in its first international bond sale for nine years. Its need for cash is acute; the government has projected a budget deficit of about $25 billion this year, in a budget of roughly $100 billion.

Obtaining a credit rating from a major agency, which Iraq currently lacks, could help to persuade global fund managers and banks to subscribe to the issue.

Zebari said Iraq was trying to approach two or three rating agencies, which he did not name. It has been discussing its bond issue plan with Citibank and Deutsche Bank.

The process of obtaining a credit rating could be a delicate one for Iraq, requiring it to open its books to the agencies and disclose new information on its finances. Zebari did not say when he expected the process to be completed.

Iraq's huge oil reserves in its southern fields, which have not been touched by the Islamic State insurgency, are expected to draw buyers to its bonds. But many fund managers think it would struggle to sell $5 billion in a short space of time, even with generous pricing.

Asked if $5 billion was too ambitious, Zebari said: "We have in the budget a commitment to issue $6 billion. So this is the low - this is how we plan to cover our deficit. But there’s no way we can do it in one tranche.”

Iraq has an outstanding U.S. dollar bond maturing in 2028 462652AA6=; panic selling late last year as oil prices plunged pushed its yield to a record high of 10.49 percent from around 7.2 percent in September, but it has since dropped back to 8.04 percent.

Iraqi five-year credit default swaps IQGV5YUSAC=MP, used to insure against any sovereign default, are at 539 basis points, near their highest levels since late 2009.

In addition to the international bond issue, Iraq has introduced or is planning other fiscal measures including a local currency bond issue to banks, taxes on some consumer goods and public wage cuts. It has also been considering whether to ask for aid from the International Monetary Fund.

Imagist: ‹@sczin11› good list!

NearTheSea: I have been in chat a few times but I always miss your post, so glad I got on today, having a little trouble navigating the site

OOTW: HI EVERYONE!

sczin11: ‹@Imagist› MY PLEASURE...THERES PLENTY MORE IN THE FORUM THREADS

sczin11: O O T W GA

NearTheSea: Hey OOTW

 OOTW: SCZIN BROUGHT IN A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE - BASICALLY STATING THAT THE HEAD OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, 

CHALABI WANTS TO BRING A SUIT AGAINST ABADI ACCUSING HIM OF NOT ENACTING ECONOMIC REFORM- 

AT THE VERY LEAST, THWARTING THE LAUNCHING OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR

OOTW: I DO WANT TO WAIT AND SEE IF WE GET MORE ARTICLES ON THIS- BUT IF IT'S TRUE, HOW CAN CHALABI VALIDATE THOSE CHARGES IF LAWS STILL NEED TO BE PASSED?

sczin11: ‹@OOTW› MAYBE HE KNOWS SOMETHING WE DONT KNOW

OOTW: THE PARLIAMENT PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE TODAY THAT THEY'RE ADDRESSING THE CONTENTIOUS ISSUES ON THE NATIONAL GUARD LAW - THEY GAVE NO TIMELINE IN THE OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE - THEY'RE WORKING ON IT

OOTW: YES SCZIN- AGAIN.....WE WAIT...UGH LOL

NearTheSea: Heard that before!

OOTW: YES NEARTHESEA - BUT REMEMBER BEFORE RAMADAN THEY SAID THEY'D COME BACK TO PARLIAMENT IN "EMERGENCY" CONDITIONS AND IMO THAT'S GOT TO DO WITH ECONOMIC REFORM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE LAWS

NearTheSea: They're working on that is

OOTW: AND MASSUM CAME OUT YESTERDAY AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO GIVE JOBOURI THE RIGHT TO PASS LAWS NEEDED FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION, INCLUDING ECONOMIC REFORM

OOTW: I'LL BRING SOME LINKS IN RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M NOT FINISHED WRITING MY ASSESSMENT OF THE PARLIAMENT PRESS RELEASE RE THEIR SESSION FOR TODAY

NearTheSea: k

sczin11: ‹@OOTW› BTW

http://www.wealthwatch.world/showthread.php?tid=871

sczin11: ‹@OOTW› THEY POSTPONED THE SALARY PAYMENTS, THE GRADES, PROMISED FOR JULY

OOTW: WELL I HOPE THEY ACTUALLY PAID THEM, THE PROVINCES ARE THREATENING TO HANDLE BUSINESS ON THEIR OWN IF THE GOVT DOESN'T ACT

OOTW: I'M GETTING LINKS BRB

OOTW: EVERYONE PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD, IT ADDRESSES MANY ISSUES - BUT UNDERLYING IS THAT MASSUM HAS GIVEN JOBOURI THE POWER TO PASS LAWS....AND THAT THE CORRUPT ARE GOING TO BE TRIED...

AND IT ALSO OUTLINES WHAT'S NEEDED TO GET SJC HEAD, MAHMOUD , OUT OF HIS POST - IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE ENTIRE THREAD - GO TO THE COMMENTS AT BOTTOM

OOTW: I'LL POST IN HERE AS WELL

OOTW:
http://wealthwatch.world/showthread.php?tid=838

OOTW: so where are we at with the justice and accountability law...uhh...not a good place... this is the last time this was read... The competent Committee First reading Second reading Date of vote Law No. Publishing the facts 2008/12/01 10 02/14/2008 2 - National law the Authority for Accountability and Justice No. (10) for the year 2008

OOTW: SO THIS READING IS FROM 2008 -THIS LAW NEEDS TO BE READ THREE TIMES UNDER CURRENT GOVERNMENT
http://ar.parliament.iq/CP/Websites/Laws/Documents/10-08888.pdf

THERE'S MANY CONNECTIONS IN HERE AND ALL OF THEM FALL TO THE PRIMARY HEAD OF THE HYDRA...MAHMOUD -  SOME MIGHT MALIKI'S THE MAIN "HEAD", 

BUT REMEMBER DURING THE ELECTIONS LAST YEAR, JOBOURI, MASSUM, AND MAHMOUD PULLED TOGETHER TO GET ABADI SEATED AS THE PM? IT WAS STUPENDOUS.

IF IRAQ CAN TOPPLE MAHMOUD, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A BOLD MOVE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IMO...

EITHER BY VOTING IN NEW JUDGES - WHICH WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD NEED TO VALIDATE DISMISSAL OF MAHMOUD VIA OFFICIAL COURT PROCEEDINGS –

AND/OR ENACTMENT OF THE EITHER OR BOTH THE FEDERAL COURT ACT OR THE JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY LAW.

OR, AS ELUDED IN THE ABOVE ARTICLE QUOTING MASSUM, MASSUM IS SAYING (EFFECTIVELY) JOBOURI'S BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO GET THE LAWS PASSED –

 IT SEEMS THERE'S AT LEAST THREE PATHS HERE. IRAQ..JUST GET ONE OF THESE DONE, WOULD YA, PLEASE?

OOTW: THE SUPPORTING ARTICLES FOR MY COMMENTS, AGAIN, ARE IN THIS THREAD

OOTW: BREAK

OOTW: BESIDES, WHY DO WE NEED MAHMOUD TO GO? 

WELL, HE'S SAID TO HAVE STOPPED THE ENACTMENT OF KEY LAWS AND/OR SUPPORTED MALIKI'S "REQUIREMENTS" RE INTERPRETATION OF LAW, 

AND CERTAINLY, THERE'S DOCUMENTS LINKING HIM TO OWNING SADDAM ERA PROPERTIES, SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM BY MALIKI.

 I'M FAIRLY SURE HE'S A BAD EGG. LOL. 

WE NEED TO SEE IRAQ GET SOMEONE INTO THE HEAD THE SJC, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SHOWS IT. THIS IS THE UNDERLYING FOUNDATION OF ECONOMIC REFORM...

REMEMBER WHAT MASSUM SAID ABOVE (SORRY TO REPEAT MYSELF...BUT IT'S IMPORTANT)...HE SAID WE NEED ECONOMIC REFORM AND NATIONAL RECONCILIATION, THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM SOCIAL JUSTICE..

AND HE SAYS..JOBOURI'S THE MAN, AND MASSUM SUPPORTS JOBOURI IN DOING WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO...TO GET THOSE LAWS PASSED..."LET HIM GET HIS WORK DONE"..

AGAIN, AS WE ALWAYS SAY HERE.."IT'S ALL CONNECTED." AND, IMHO, THE INTRODUCTION OF THE AMNESTY,(AGAIN), AS WELL AS THE JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY LAW, INTO THE HOR'S SESSION TOMORROW...

DEFINITELY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MAHMOUD AND THOSE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION WHO WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE THIS "PRIVATE COURT" THE SJC HAS ESTABLISHED....

DO YOU THINK THAT THE PRESS ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO BE INFORMED ABOUT MAHMOUD'S CORRUPTION - NOPE..BUT THE GOVT HAS HAD ITS HANDS TIED. IT SEEMS IRAQ IS DOING A LOT CLEANING UP. 

LET'S HOPE THEY GET IT DONE! STAY TUNED..I'LL BE ADDING TO THIS AS THE EVENTS OF THE COMING WEEK UNFOLD.

OOTW: *"TOMORROW" NOW BEING "TODAY"

OOTW: AGAIN, I'M STILL WORKING ON MY ANALYSIS OF WHAT HAPPENED IN PARLIAMENT TODAY

NearTheSea: TY ootw

OOTW: WE MAY WELL BE ABOUT TO SEE ANOTHER COUP FROM MASSUM AND JOBOURI

 OOTW: AS A PERSON I KNOW FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, WHO'S MUSLIM, SAID TO ME THE OTHER DAY..."RAMADAN IS WHEN PEOPLE ARE GENEROUS AND THEY WANT TO SHOW IT"

OOTW: WE'LL SEE

chattels: Iraqi PM breaks Ramadan fast with war refugees By Rudaw

 chattels: BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited a refugee camp in Baghdad’s Dora neighborhood on Saturday, breaking the Ramadan fast with war refugees. Abadi said at the camp that, “in order to comfort refugees and the displaced people throughout Iraq we take their claims into consideration and supply their daily life necessities until the war is over in our country.”

chattels:
http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/050720153

OOTW: THERE'S NOTHING STATING AT THE PARLIAMENT SITE THAT I CAN SEE RIGHT NOW, THAT SAYS THEY'RE WAITING UNTIL AFTER EID TO PASS LAWS.
http://parliament.iq/details.aspx?id=24401&Alw

Sliderule: So OOTW is Massum and Jobouri

Sliderule: working together a good thing?

OOTW: THANKS CHATTELS...GREAT SUPPORT..SHOWING THAT THOSE IN POWER WANT TO BE SHOWN DOING ALL THEY CAN

OOTW: YES SLIDE - VERY GOOD

Sliderule: Thanks. Sometimes hard to keep track of what is beneficial.

OOTW: YES IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE - IT SHOWS FAITH

OOTW: AND THAT'S SO IMPORTANT

OOTW: ABADI'S POSITION IS BEING COMMUNICATED AS BEING "UNHELPFUL" BY "SOURCES" IN THE PRESS ARTICLES - 

THERE'S STILL SO MUCH DESIRE BY EXTREMISTS IN GOVT TO SHOW HE CAN'T DO THE JOB

OOTW: THEY HAVE TO GET THE CORRUPTION ADDRESSED ASAP AND/OR DISMISS MP'S SHOWN TO BE INCITING THIS ATTITUDE IN PARLIAMENT

Doug_W: he is SOO vastly superior to his predasessor!!

OOTW: AT THE MOMENT, I'M NOT PUTTING A GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT INTO THE ARTICLES STATING THAT THERE HAS TO BE A CERTAIN MAJORITY (STILL BEING DECIDED BY THE SJC, SUPPOSEDLY) EITHER 2/3 OR 3/4 - IT SEEMS JOBOURI IS JUST GOING TO GET THEM PASSED

OOTW: AMEN DOUG

OOTW: I REALLY LIKE ABADI - I DO REALLY THINK HE'S TRYING

Doug_W: I agree

OOTW: I CANNOT BE SURE IF CHALABI IS JUST FLEXING HIS "I WANT TO BE THE NEXT PM" MUSCLE

Sliderule: He is trying to clean up years of problems.

OOTW: YES DOUG..HE HAS HAD SUCH A HUGE TASK BEFORE HIM AND HE'S BEEN AS TRANSPARENT WITH THE PRESS AND INTERNATIONAL BODIES AS HE CAN

OOTW: ABSOLUTELY SLIDERULE

OOTW: IN THE FORUM, EVERY ARTICLE HAS A CONNECTION TO ANOTHER THREAD, SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO SHOW YOU ALL OF THE "FITTING" PIECES OF THIS HUGE PUZZLE

OOTW: THE NEWS IS TREMENDOUS...I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO INTO THE FORUM AND POKE AROUND

OOTW: LOL

sczin11: ‹@Doug_W› TIME FOR YOUR FAMOUS REPLY

It said the warplanes had targeted ISIS positions around the Speicher air force base, Iraq’s second-largest.

"Iraqi jets have bombed many ISIS militants southeast of the Salahadin province capital of Tikrit, dealing a major blow to the group strength in the area," according to the ministry.

“Many of the Daesh (ISIS) militants killed in the attack are foreigners,” the statement added. “Along with the casualties, four ready-to-use car bombs were also destroyed.”

From WealthWatch.World Forum

This from Butifldrm is in response to Sczin11 earlier post --   LINK

GM scizn  Rolleyes .  Iraq including the CBI is a HOT MESS!  I made a comment in your chat thread about my feelings.  I will bring it over here just to reiterate.  

Great post OOTW and you bring some very interesting points.  Iraq is a hot mess.  There has been much discussion about the competency of Keywords, and you know my feeling about Maliki's abrupt appointment of Mohsen's position as the Head of the Central bank.

Days before Abadi took office Maliki took advantage of the situation.  Mohsen was his Pawn.
~~~
There has been much discussion by Jobouri  and parliament about these appointed positions, and the ability to form a technocratic government. Very few of these positions have been changed. Truly, everyone knows these positions were used/abused by the Maliki, for a  government of corruption.

In my opinion no one in Iraq has the guts to do the right thing because of guilt,corruption and/or sectarianism, if so  Maliki would not be walking the streets.

Iraq needs National Reconciliation and the Parties Law to move forward.  Iraq needs to the be ability to persecute the guilty and institute some Rule of Law. Iraq will not be whole or successful until these things are achieved.  Iraq is controlled by too many external influences.

Iraq is a Pawn not only of the US, but of Iran and other Middle Eastern influences, including ISIS. This is a sad state for any country.   So let me get back to the CBI.  

Now, this brings me to one point.  Maliki, being a legend in his own mind, for one reason only, appointed a dolt like Mohsen  to cover up his corruption.  Ali Mohsen was appointed to the head of the CBI only as a tool.

Yes, OOTW you are right the CBI reserves before Mohsen were reported to be around the equivalent of $80 B Dollars in 2013. So where did that money go?

 Did the CBI waste the reserves on the sale of the dollar or was it lost due to money laundering by the corrupt or both?

To compound the sadness the finance and economic committees have no clue.  Seriously, the dismissal of Shabibi was a sectarian decision, and under Turki and Mohsen , the CBI still has the same problems.

Initially the Economic/finance  committees were sure Shabibi was responsible for the loss of reserves because of money laundering, when the in truth there was and still  is a lack of control of the borders.

Mohsen is supposedly going to be questioned again Sunday by the Finance/Economic committee about the spread between the CBI rate and the Market rate. The exchange tax for purchase of the dollar.

Shabibi spelled out the cause before and did so again this week.  The CBI has to be independent under IMF rules.  I don't see how the IQD could become an internationally traded currency until these things are achieved.

The Iraqi government cannot govern over the CBI limiting the sale of the dollar to 75M per day. The judiciary needs to come back ASAP with their judgement on this subject.  

We still the majority of people in the government which are Shia and very much loyal to Iran.  Iran is supposedly going to come out of economic sanctions at the end of June.

 I know this is a far stretch, but when Iran comes out of economic sanctions maybe the money  laundering and loss of reserves may be controlled.  So here comes something else we need to understand.

The majority of economic intellectuals in Iraq have been removed.  Iraq has elected people within the government who have no education in economic reform.  

If Iraq chooses to play the IMF game,  the government has to loose control of the CBI.  There can be no limit on the CBI's ability to control the Market exchange rate.  
Now do I believe that Mohsen is the right man ? Of course not!   These people have no clue how the CBI should run.  They/the GOI, believe the Iraqi constitution gives them the right to control the CBI.  

The CBI banking Laws give the CBI the right of independence.  There has to be some adjustments in the constitution for clarity, if they, the government of Iraq choose to be under the rule of the IMF.    

It appears that the GOI of Iraq feels the CBI is depleting reserves to protect the IQD exchange rate, and I would have to agree. So they attempted to stop the sale of reserves by  limiting daily sales of the dollar to $75M/day.  

So what happened? They live in a supply and demand economy.  The Cost of the dollar went up. You limit the dollar and the price goes up.  

Recently, the CBI has allowed for more exchanges to trade the dollar and increase supply and guess what? The spread is even higher. It's the same old story.  Let government  try to control a market in any economy and watch things get out of control.  

IMO, until Iran comes from under sanctions the GOI will  do nothing to protect the borders or money laundering. Iran needs the dollar/hard currency and this subsequently drives the secondary/black market in Iraq. Iraq and Iran are supposedly signing agreements concerning money laundering and trade.  

We will have to wait to see if these agreements have any impact on the black market.  Somehow this all has to come together for this Iraq.  

Those of us willing to study, will hopefully see Iraq move into an internationally traded currency with the value it deserves.  I believe it's not going to happen tomorrow or any time SOON, but I'm still hopeful.

Recently, we were introduced to a new News Forum called "Wealth Watch" and have followed it for a week now, as we have never posted any other forums information on our site, as you all know.

They post the news daily, like we do, but also have more of an interactive forum that some of you may like.    

During this time where we are taking time off for Ramadan to be with our families and on vacation, I thought I would share their information with you (our Valued listeners/followers) because I feel they have the same goals, integrity that we have after talking with two of the owners.  And I know it may help all of you who want and miss calls with Straight Talkin Mike and LJ (Debbie, Diana & Kim).
