Member: Good Evening and welcome everyone
Member: Mark- Did you say Iraq was officially international on forex? Or were you misquoted?
MZ: No, somebody had let me know that they had their spot ready on forex to go fully international. But, they have not activated it yet. That was Friday or Saturday last week.
Member: Just read on twitter or X that Iraq is voting on budget tables tomorrow?
Member: Ariel just put up an Iraqi dinar update on X at 1 hour ago. It’s a great post. “Rapid IQD reevaluation by late June 2025” is possible.
MZ: “Despite Baghdads protest -Kurdistan region begins Gas Extraction for imports to Europe” The US has pushed Kurdistan to start the extraction process. The next step is to send it through the pipeline. This shows the pressure they are under to wrap up the disagreements in Iraq.
MZ: “Iraq has made great progress in its path to the World Trade Organization.” Iraq has completed the requirements for ascension as soon as they change the value.
Member: Mark do you think we are seeing the world wide shake-up to get this RV to happen under the radar?
MZ: I do.
Member: hello Mark… any update on bond side? Thanks
MZ: I have a number of bond contacts ….a symphony of bond holders who are convinced that this is the week we will see something. At least those that still will talk….many have still gone just plain quiet.
MZ: They don’t give me specifics but they are very upbeat.
Member: Will the bolivar be in the first basket
MZ: I do believe the bolivar will be in the first basket.
Member: Mark, From TNT- hearing possibly .30 cents on the Bolivar
MZ: I hope that’s right. I am not hearing anything on rate yet. That would be awesome.
Member: Rumor has it $6 for the IQD, and $5 on the VND.
MZ: I still hear The IQD in the high $4 or almost $5 and $2+ for the VND. But I hope you are right and I am wrong.
Member: Mark z -thank you for all the news updates and encouragement.
