Hello everyone. As we have discussed before, economics is about human behavior not necessarily just money. We expect behavior to change under different economic conditions and price levels. The CBI has sent consistent signals that the value of the dinar has/will rise and the iraqis would be expected to change their buying habits if they think their money will be worth more. The negative effect would be to increase speculation. So I think we can expect more of these types of reports and IMHO we are in for a significant increase in the value of the dinar. The CBI is/has held the dinar at the current levels while removing large amounts of dinar from the economy. The last report from our friend Socata 850 was just a hair under 6 trillion removed. From the largest reports of the base money supply, this has to be about a third of the base. As said before, this is exactly what you would expect in an inflationary situation and prior to any significant reevaluation of the currency. I am sorry for those who still think the CBI has been PLACING money back into the economy. Maybe retaking Econ 101 would be of some help to them. Thank You.
