AMERICAN CONTRACTOR INTEL - 1/24/10

24 January 2010

The Iraqi Parliament failed again to ratify the 2010 Iraq budget. In accordance with the Iraqi Constitution their legislative session ends on 31 January 2010. The Iraqi Parliament now has 6 days (31 Jan) to pass the budget. Are some Parliament members conducting blackmail, saying you pass this and I will pass that.

From all the political bickering going on chances of passing (budget) are very small. It looks like political suicide from here. Just think the same political blocs that are in power now in the current Iraq Parliament are the same political blocs that will be candidates in the upcoming elections 7 March. Just different people of course.

The Iraqi National Alliance (INA) are very adamant about certain provisions that need to be in the 2010 Iraq budget. INA saying if they don't do this then no problem we will do it when we form the next new government. I think the INA is getting ahead of themselves.

With all of this going on now you have another holiday. The Al-Arba'in pilgrimage religious holiday being celebrated for the next few days. The worshipers would be heading to Karbala for the holy rituals. Surely, the Iraqi parliament members would skip this holiday ritual, right?!! This week is very important or maybe not.

In Diyala, you had 13,000 members of the Awakening leave there checkpoints in protest for the arrests of members and other managers. Just in time the government does this right before the election in March. Unemployed and have guns.

The members who are on the list whom have been banned in the upcoming elections have 72 hours to appeal. The Iraqi Parliament have set up a cassation committee to look at all the appeals. The cassation committee is made up of seven judges appointed by the High Judicial Council.

The President Jalal Talabani, went on Iraqi TV and had this to say about the banned names. Talabani says that "a solution that observes the law and constitution will be sought by which the law is applied to all," adding that "we discussed the need to guarantee that the elections are held on time, and if there are legal issues that require time to be reviewed and resolved, then we hope they are postponed until after the elections."

This is great but how long do you think it will take to hear every appeal out of the 511 names? That is if everyone appealed, days, weeks, years? The names are dwindling down as 75 candidates who handed in there documents to the electoral commission were actually forged documents. They must have ran them through a del a rue machine.

The Kurdistan Alliance is getting out front and getting some press time talking about VP Biden visit. Firyad Rawaanduzi, who is the current spokesman, said that Biden visit will not reverse the Justice and Accountability Commission (JAC) decision to ban those election candidates. I wonder if VP Biden, had any incentives or did he just do lunch and left as quickly as he came. I wonder if they were any benni's maybe they will be released in due time. And no I am not talking about an RV either. I am talking about serious matters.

Rawanduzi did say this "The first option is the one that is supported by the majority, and this is to let the law to scrutinize those candidates who have been mentioned in the (JAC) lists, to see whether they have links to the former regime's Ba'th Party or not; if not then they can take part in the election.

My comments is Firyad, how long do you think this is going take? You still think we will have the elections on time?

The reason VP Biden came to Iraq and all this from my friends at the Baghdad coffee shop on Hiyfa Street.

1. The Framework Strategic Treaty between the U.S. and Iraq
2. To assist Iraq in exiting out of the United Nations Chapter Seven
3. The Security measures to start the U.S. withdrawal in August 2010

Biden was smart enough not to make comments about Iraq's internal affairs so he had a plan B and I give him credit for that.

The United Nations has authorized the extension of the U.S. President memo to protect the DFI funds. Remember it was suppose to expire in May and now the U.N. has extended the mandate to the end of the year 2010. I already knew this as I told you last summer it was always going to be extended and do not be surprised the way things are going in the Iraqi Government could very well could be extended again till the end of 2011. Just so you know Chapter Seven and DFI protection are one.

The governates are in need of funds to operate so the Iraq Finance Minister Bayan Jabr al-Zubaydi, has advised those governates to come and collect 20% of the 2010 Budget. Maybe that will keep them from rioting later.

A Ministry of Trade report says 166 different factories established in Kurdistan Region in 2009.

The Iraqi government is making headway on recovering money from others during the oil for food program.

The Iraqi government is looking at signing deals with Russia for weapons very shortly.

PM Maliki had announced that 70,000 army and police officers who served in the former army and police are considered for retirement pensions after the election in March. Maybe the Iraqi government will come out and say no you can not get a pension because you were a member of the Ba'ath party or in any case that's a lot of money in retirement pensions.

The Ration Card; if you make more then 2,100 usd a month you no longer get the staples, the benefits of the Ration Card.

[17:38] Enoch8: there are some brilliant people on those calls...

[17:38] Peter Pan: anyone guess how many deeenar holders are out ther?

[17:38] Peter Pan: i know most just keep quiet

[17:39] frankie: I've heard everything from 75,000 to 250,000. I don't think anyone really knows

[17:39] Peter Pan: ok just about the same that i have heard..

[17:40] Enoch8: I have hear about 250000 in the US.....

[17:40] Enoch8: seems like a reasonable figure

[17:40] Peter Pan: that is one big economical injection

[17:40] Enoch8: times about an average of 3 to 5 million each

[17:41] Peter Pan: i like that 5 times....lol

[17:41] Peter Pan: ohhh 5 mill

[17:42] Peter Pan: thats a lot of cash

[17:42] frankie: well guys. I'm going to watch this movie that hubby has started. ya'll have a good night. see you tomorrow

[17:42] Peter Pan: ok enjoy..
..
[17:42] Enoch8: that is roughly a little over a Trillion in the hands of US investors if that is true....

[17:43] Enoch8: I have heard about 1.5 Trillion IQD

[17:43] Peter Pan: it wiil be felt..
.
[17:43] Peter Pan: so what do you think aboout chap 7

[17:43] Enoch8: That is a heck of a stimulus

[17:44] Peter Pan: will we see it lifted soon?

[17:44] Enoch8: Nope.

[17:44] Peter Pan: not till after the rv?

[17:44] Enoch8: chap 7 is scheduled for the end of 2010 for UNSC Reveiw

[17:45] Enoch8: Per Ban Ki Moon and UNSC Resolutions from the November meetings

[17:45] Enoch8: and see the 33 page GOI Ministry of Planning reports.... submitted to the UN

[17:46] Enoch8: 470 pages.... but F26 Team broke it down to 33 pages...

[17:46] Enoch8: Chap 7 is not an issue for the RV..... IMHO

[17:47] Enoch8: It gives needed protections from suits against the Hussein Regime

[17:47] Enoch8: It also keeps the DFI secure.

[17:47] Peter Pan: what about HCL?

[17:48] Peter Pan: will we seethat one soon?

[17:48] Enoch8: I think the social distributions portion of HCL can be agreed upon.... to see to it the Kurds and Displaced get their fair share of oil revenues.

[17:49] Peter Pan: are they waiting for it?

[17:49] Peter Pan: i mean anytime soon?

[17:50] Peter Pan: or is it a long term proyection

[17:50] Enoch8: There were statements from Talibani and from Maliki.... that there is already HCL and oil revenue distribution set in place to address that issue.

[17:50] Peter Pan: I think so

[17:50] Peter Pan: if not how would they do oil deals

[17:51] Enoch8: It is true.... there are some who want more for certain groups..... but that should not hold anything up

[17:51] Enoch8: It would be like saying..... the US cannot have money..... because we need to have a better system of socialized welfare.

[17:52] Enoch8: That has nothing to do with a fixed rate and recognised value on our currency....

[17:52] Peter Pan: yeah like cosby say's checks will be handed after 40 succesfull school hrs.

[17:52] Enoch8: why would it be so in Iraq?

[17:54] Peter Pan: i remember when it moved pip by pip...

[17:54] Enoch8: There are possibilities of sanctions that could hold it up though.... but I thought
those parts of Chap 7 were taken care of

[17:54] Peter Pan: when i first purchased it was at 1470

[17:55] Enoch8: It has mostly to do with the recognition by WB and IMF investors wanting to invest in Iraq

[17:55] Enoch8: and Iraq holding credibility with the world in good faith

[17:55] Enoch8: That is what it will amount to.... is this question....

[17:55] Peter Pan: like the guy on the call , wanting us investors

[17:56] Enoch8: "Does the world trust Iraq?"

[17:56] Enoch8: I say they are ready to start trusting IRaq as a legitimate Republic.

[17:56] Peter Pan: i do too

[17:57] Enoch8: Just as much so as Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

[17:57] Enoch8: Or Israel , Egypt or Jordan.

[18:01] Enoch8: IMHO..... they are just as able as Mexico or Guatemala to have a recognized currency.... and certainly more so than China.

[18:03] Enoch8: As far as civil unrest..... as I recall American History..... we have had Revolutions... wars.... Civil Wars... border wars.... 2 World Wars... and many other wars..... street gangs.... organized crime.... gang crimes....

[18:04] Enoch8: etc etc....

[18:04] Enoch8: and still our currency is recognized as a benchmark on the world statge

[18:04] Peter Pan: true

[18:04] Enoch8: so I do not buy this malarky.... that Iraq has too much voilence and disputes to have a real currency

[18:05] Enoch8: They have more potential wealth per capita that does the USA

[18:05] Peter Pan: if they had a stronger currency they would have less situations

[18:05] Enoch8: among the wealthiest potential per capita in the world

[18:06] Enoch8: That per capita wealth potential is what determines the value of their money.

[18:07] Enoch8: estimates are from 1.50 to 3.99 by the worlds sharpest macro economists....

[18:08] Enoch8: So here is the dilemma...... do they start low with a controlled float....?

[18:08] Enoch8: Or come in high and let it seek out it's own level?

[18:08] Enoch8: They can do it either way.

[18:08] Peter Pan: don't think so, big egos and pride won't let em start low...

[18:13] Enoch8: Just a wild guess..... but I think it is nothing but political bargaining.

[18:14] Peter Pan: hey E i apreciate your time and info but i'm gonna call it a day , school tomorrow say hi too the wild bunch for me...

[18:15] Enoch8: OK..... be good

17 SHIPS ARRIVE AT IRAQI PORTS

January 24, 2010 - 11:06:11

BASRA / Aswat al-Iraq:
Seventeen cargo ships from different countries have arrived at Iraqi ports, the public relations and media director at the State Company for Iraqi Ports said on Sunday.

The Shiite province of Basra, 590 km south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, has five commercial ports and two oil ports: al-Maaqal, established in 1916 by the British forces and handed over to Iraqi authorities in 1937; and Faw, a small port on the al-Faw Peninsula near the Shatt al-Arab and the Persian Gulf.

In the early 1970s, Umm al-Qasr port was built, and in 1974, Khour al-Zubeir and Abu Falous ports were established on the Shatt al-Arab.

Basra is the cradle of the first civilization of Sumer. It has the seven main Iraqi ports. The first built in Islam 14 A.H. (After Hegira), the city played an important role in early Islamic history.

The area surrounding Basra has substantial petroleum resources and many oil wells. The city’s oil refinery has a production capacity of about 140,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Basra is in a fertile agricultural region, with major products including rice, maize corn, barley, pearl millet, wheat and dates as well as livestock.

A network of canals flowed through the city, giving it the nickname “The Venice of the Middle East” at least at high tide.

THANKS AND ALL DONE

DEE1031 POST - Dinar Rumor 1/24/10

RV Tomorrow

Has anyone heard that we may have an rv tomorrow? This is what I am hearing, I just wanted to see if anyone else heard the same thing.

WDMCB POST - Dinar Speculation 1/24/10 @ 5:05am

Speaking on speculation: Yesterday, I had a meeting with a VP-Investments at Chase/JPMorgan who said that Iraq is in such debt, thanks to Hussein, that they don’t have the money to support an exchange…and before they let the US capitalize on their Dinar, in all probability, they will come out with a NEW currency, provide time to exchange, reduce it’s value and make it hard for us to turn in our Dinar’s. He said that if it does become 1 dinar = $1.00 US, DON’T expect a 1 to 1 exchange. That I will be must fortune to get back what I paid for the Dinar. He said, Iraq just doesn’t have the billions that will be needed to honor an RV. And that the elections will have no effect on the amount set or the policy that will be imposed for an exchange.

This is not encouraging, to say the least, but it is interesting to note the opinion of a US Banker. He said that the Iraq Dinar will take the same route as the Mexican Peso. Notwithstanding, I’m still optimistic that we will come out of all of this mess with some gain… maybe not as much as we had hoped for, but enough to show for our patience and endurance.

ANNUAL INFLATION RATE DROPS BY 4.4% IN 2009

January 24, 2010 - 08:20:01

BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq:
Iraq’s annual inflation rate index fell by 4.4 percent from December 2008-December 2009, the Central Agency for Statistics and Information Technology said on Sunday.

“The fall is attributed to a drop in the prices of cloth, clothes and footwear; furniture; fuel and lighting; transport cost; and medical services and medicines by 4.0%, 3.2%, 41.0%, 6.6, and 3.7% respectively,” according to a statement released by the agency and received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.


Meanwhile, the statement reported an increase in the average price of the following consumer goods and services: foodstuffs (2.6%), cigarettes and beverages (6.0%), varied goods and services (6.6%), and rent fees (9.3%) during the same period.

The report is based on field data about the retail prices of goods and services in local markets in Baghdad and other Iraqi provinces.

DINAR VETS CHAT - Realistic RV Rates (Compiled by Chazman)

Chazman

I read an interesting series of posts on DV about the potential RV rate and though our members might find it interesting.

Realistic rates

Grumpy aka Rob

My .02 worth on the possible RV rate.

All day long I have sat in chat listening to people come in and out spouting off rumors of $3.86 .04 cheaper than KWD. First of all the rate 1.00 KWD = 3.48675 USD. Amazing how easy it was to debunk with one click of the mouse.

IMO and only my opinion, I think we should be looking for a RV anywhere between .10 - the rate of the Euro. Don't get me wrong I would love a $2+ RV but I don't see it happening. First of all Shabibi is a economical genius, and is going to what is best for Iraq and no one else. I have tried to fight off the notion that anything less than $2 is a joke to Iraq and would embarrass them. Here is why I disagree, why would they RV so we could cash in the 20+ trillion dinars back in when they can just as easily RV at let say .50 and force a time limit to cash in?

After let’s say 60days they have two choices, a second RV or allow the currency to float and climb rather quickly IMO. Its simple math, receive 70-80% of currency back in at .50 and float. The least amount of currency out, the stronger the currency.

Let’s hear your opinions.

I would say that I agree, knowing that Shabibi gas publicly stated that he does not like speculative investors. However, if he chooses to come out at say .50, the wealthy are going to go on a buying spree of major proportions knowing that a rapid float to a much higher value or a straight up RV to a higher value looms in the very near future. That much of a run on their currency by new speculators, IMO, is very likely to surpass the current speculative holdings and in the end net them nothing with respect to the circulation amount. IMO, they will come out at 1.50 to 2, to get a large cash in and prevent a huge new batch of speculators b4 RV'ing again at a higher rate.

Several things to think about... first, if they RV too low, those who have the power to buy up a bunch (hedge funds, etc.) will slaughter the dinar. Investors make up very little of the over all picture. Those who run the major funds will buy massive amounts at anything less that $2 simply on speculation alone.

Second, go to Bank of America's currency exchange sight. The Kuwait Dinar is listed and $3.87. One click proves that this isn't a joke. It is a real rate.

I don't think Shabibi is worried too much about Iraqi pride. He knows that if the rate is not carefully released and moderately high, the dinar will be bought up in massive quantities at the expense of future value.

So people still think there are 20T NID in the hands of the public? Governments own a big percentage of that and they have some deals in place like trade for oil, etc.

Also not everyone will cash out all at the same time.

Most bank transactions are electronic, not everyone here is going to cash out at the same time and build a Scrooge McDuck money bin to hold their cash with armed guards and Doberman with grenades in their mouths.

Banks will hold money, governments will hold money.

RV at 10 cents and there will be even more money in circulation because then the investors jump in. Right now it's speculators but if you allow investors to come in too, then you flood the market with monopoly money.

But people will continue to compare Iraq to Cambodia and all those other places that don't have their resources and I'm not just talking oil.

10 cents isn't going to help Iraq either. They do have bills to pay and a government to rebuild. We're talking about a country that has to rebuild.

They've been fighting for an RI for years, they're not going to accept 10 cents and neither will I
Not that I have anything to do with the decision.

Follow the breadcrumbs people. Follow the breadcrumbs...

A double RV, in which the first is low; "to bring in our big bills", would be suicide for Iraq, the large (think Countries/Hedge funds) would buy on the speculation of the second RV. The speculators (us) are not even a drop in the bucket when it comes to holding IQD. We aren't part of the decision process for the RV. IMHO
