This is what I get out of it. I may be wrong though.

The first thing that attracted our attention is Alkrzat shops and desserts Fatehdthna Kawah to Mr. Salim's one of these shops and asked him about the people's demand this year in the purchase of whether teams from previous years. (We asked Mr Salim about people's demands (sales) versus previous years) فأجابنا “ مستوى الاقبال على الشراء اكبر من السنوات السابقة وهي نتيجة طبيعية لازدياد القدرة الشرائية للمواطن .Vajapana "the level of demand for purchasing more from previous years is a natural result of the increased purchasing power of citizens. (the increase in demand (sales) versus previous years is a result of the increase in purchasing power) فمنذ اول ايام شهر رمضان يبتاع الناس عادة ما يسد احتياجاتهم اليومية ولكن مع اقتراب العيد السعيد يكون الاقبال اكثر ويكون التركيز على شراء الكرزات والشكولاته.Since the first day of the month of Ramadan Ebtae people usually fill their daily needs, but with the approach of a happy Eid be more demand and the focus on the purchase Alkrzat and chocolate. (At the beginning of Ramadan, people only bought their necessities. But, with the approach of Eid, they even buy chocolate now) ويشكل الموظفون نسبة كبيرة من الزبائن باعتبارهم الشريحة الاكبر من المجتمع”.And a large proportion of staff as customers slash bulk of the community. "
محلات الالبسة الجاهزة كانت نصيبها واضحا من ناحية الاقبال وخاصة ملابس الاطفال التي تلقى رواجا كبيرا حيث جرت العادة على لبس كل ما هو جديد خلال ايام العيد كما اخبرنا السيد محمد شاخوان احد العاملين في احدى محلات ملابس الاطفال.

They are somehow buying more goods. Where is the additional money coming from?

So, I pulled out all my old files & found our old E.I.N’s, swift code / routing #’s, etc., & decided to do a little *covert* wet work . . .

With the above / & my natural charm & rhythm once connected to the BOA / it only took me a moment to get a currency trader in their Bank / to Bank / commercial dept. . . .

I told the gal that I had a customer sitting across my desk who wished to purchase 50m NID, in CASH . . . and that he wanted the actual notes, and preferred new uncirc. 25K notes. And that he had informed me that according to information he had . . . all NID currency coming into The USA was handled by them @ BOA . . . So I asked her if we could order 50m from her . . .

She checked for a moment or two with me listening / I was not on hold . . . Her answer: “Yes, we do handle the NID, but,” . . . [pauses] . . . I am not able to give you a current quote . . .”

So, I asked, why Not?

She says / while probably glaring @ her screen . . . “We can’t / Ahh, get a current quote / humm, that’s odd! This is strange.”

I said, “What is odd?”

She replies, “Apparently the Bank In Iraq is not showing any . . . humm, they aren’t showing anything . . . their site is not responding . . .”

I say, “Yes, my customer says it’s been down for three days.” Then I ask, “Have you ever seen anything like this before?”

She replies, “Three days, Huh, . . . No, . . . well, only once but . . . that was when a major change in value was in the works.” Then she shut up.

I said, “Ma’am are you still there?”

“Yes, I’m still here . . .”

End of useful part of our conversation . . .

So, here’s my question for everyone . . . “Has anyone had any trouble buying / or getting a quote today?” . . .

If they’re still quoting / maybe they’re already here & in the distribution pipe-line . . . because with no official CBI pricing / or quotes, no one would be foolish enough to do any quoting . . . The CBI is the name written on the notes . . .

Now that is the 6 Million dollar question. Last years rate was 1475 so that can't be it. Inflation was low this time last year so in that respect they have lost purchasing power...what else could it be? hmmmm
