Al-Kharafi denies Iraq''s debts to Kuwait major source of instability

Politics 5/3/2007 10:57:00 PM



BALI, Indonesia, May 3 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's House Speaker Jassem al-Kharafi denied that Iraq's debts to Kuwait were cause for the state of instability in the strife-ridden country. "I don't think the debts are Iraq's major source of problems," he told the BBC on Thursday.
Kuwait "has not demanded its debts be paid, so whether Kuwait gets paid at this time is immaterial," he said.
"We constantly extend a helping hand to Iraq and seek stability and security for it," he affirmed as he hoped that Iraq would consecrate all its efforts at achieving security and stability.
Asked to comment on the Saudi government's contention that the Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki stoked sectarian strife in Iraq, al-Kharafi said that the Saudi views "were their own and it is not my place to interfere in Iraq's internal politics." "I cannot criticize" the head of a government i.e. al-Maliki who was elected democratically just like "I do not accept anyone criticizing the government of Kuwait." Al-Kharafi urged the Iraqi people to exert all efforts at reaching a national agreement where the rights of all including minorities are upheld. (end) ms.ajs KUNA 032257 May 07NNNN

In March we saw a .546% drop in the rate.
In April we saw a .3142% drop in the rate

Thank you once again, Socata, for your regular updates. They are most welcome and most helpful.

Assume for discussion purposes that:

(1) Socata's numbers are basically correct;

(2) Five (5) trillion dinars that the United States reportedly owns
are contained in Socata's item number 6A;

(3) Twenty-one (21) trillion dinars were printed; and

(4) The rest of the world, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, and
people like us hold a total of 1,214,720,499,000 dinars.

These assumptions would result in there being approximately 1.3 trillion dinars currently in circulation.

Somehow Shabibi has been able recently to pull out of circulation approximately 350 billion dinars per week. Assume he is able to do this during each of the next three (3) weeks. This to my way of thinking is not farfetched; he was able, for example, to pull out 126 billion dinars
today!

The net result of all this is that by the week of May 28th the amount of
dinars actually in circulation could be reduced to approximately 250 billion.

If you were Shabibi, wouldn't you do this and hold off on the r/v for those
three weeks, especially since (1) the HCL has not yet been passed by parliament and (2) the intervening auctions could save Iraq approximately one (1) trillion dollars in debt on its currency, assuming an ultimate r/v of 1:1? It seems to me that this suction effort dwarfs the debt-forgiveness effort. Iraq's indebtedness is reportedly down from approximately $185 billion
to approximatety $45 billion - a reduction of $140 billion achieved after
years of begging for forgiveness. Hasn't Shabibi exceeded this debt-forgiveness figure in the last two (2) days alone with his rampaging auctions?

Since I am not a banker, and Wm. Knowles is, I'd be very interested in
whether he agrees with the above analysis.
