Patterns of Electoral Behaviour in Iraq

5-10-13 Iraq Business News:   Whereas the IHEC press conference announcing the results of Iraq’s 20 April local elections was merely a readout of the names of the winning candidates and their political affiliations, a second batch of useful information, giving the numbers achieved by each candidate, has now been published.

This material makes it possible to analyse how the Iraqi electorate uses the “personal vote” option, whereby voters alongside their vote for a particular political entity can indicate their candidate of choice on that slate. When the votes are counted, the pre-set ranking of the candidates done by the party leadership is ignored altogether, and only specific personal votes garnered in the election count as the ordering of candidates on a particular list is done all over again.

Before discussing patterns of electoral behavior, some basic information about how the ballots are cast in an Iraqi election can be useful.Technically speaking, Iraqi voters do not actually receive ballot papers that include the names of the candidates, only the entity names and numbers. Accordingly, in order to make use of the personal vote option, they need to know the number of their preferred candidate and then fill in that candidate’s number after they have checked the box for their party vote.

In theory this can happen in two ways: Either by knowing the candidate’s number beforehand (and remembering it at the voting booth), or by checking a register of all candidates available at the polling station. In practice, most personal votes are probably the result of beforehand knowledge. Electoral propaganda for individual candidates almost invariably includes the key two numbers that voters require, i.e. party list number and candidate number.

Then, to the actual use of the personal vote in the 20 April 2013 provincial elections. The first point that is worth making is that the personal vote option is indeed being used by the electorate – a lot. The following quick calculations are meant to provide a cross-section of contexts and electorates and show that across parties and governorates, from Iraqiyya to Shiite Islamists and from rural Maysan to the capital Baghdad, a large majority of Iraqi voters indicate their preferred candidate when they vote. Most of the examples indicate above 90% use of the candidate vote, and nowhere is the percentage less than 84%:

ScreenHunter_01 May. 10 13.11

As for the individual results, the following is a list of Iraq’s 15 most popular provincial politicians, indicating personal votes achieved, list and position on list:

  1. Khalaf Abd al-Samad 130,862 Basra 419 1 (Basra governor)
  2. Salah Salim Abd al-Razzaq 68,895 Baghdad 419 1 (Baghdad governor)
  3. Umar Aziz Hussein Salman al-Humayri 52,219 Diyala 458 58 (Diyala governor)
  4. Adnan Abad Khudayr 41,006 Najaf 441 1 (Najaf governor)
  5. Ali Dayi Lazim 38,605 Maysan 473 1 (Maysan governor)
  6. Riyad Nasir Abd al-Razzaq 21,446 Baghdad 444 1
  7. Kamil Nasir Sadun al-Zaidi 18,870 Baghdad 419 2 (Baghdad council speaker)
  8. Muin al-Kazimi 17,927 Baghdad 419 5 (leading Badr figure)
  9. Adil al-Saadi 16,686 Baghdad 419 6 (top candidate Fadila)
  10. Muthanna Ali Mahdi 14,225 Diyala 501 3 (Badr)
  11. Majid Mahdi Abd al-Abbas 14,147 Basra 411 1
  12. Ammar Yusuf Hamud 13,048 Salahaddin 444 1
  13. Saad al-Mutallabi 12,604 Baghdad 419 10 (prominent State of Law politician)
  14. Muhammad Mahdi al-Saadi 11,502 Diyala 501 1 (Fadila)
  15. Ahmad Abd al-Jabbar 11,470 Salahaddin 475 2

Several points are worthy of note here. Firstly, many of these seat winners, especially those with the highest votes, are governors. Presumably, the number one candidates on the various lists have an advantage in terms of the ability of voters to remember who they want to vote for (note though that the Diyala governor humbly put himself at the bottom of his list, only to be promoted to the top with a safe margin by his grateful electorate).

But a closer look at the new councils indicate that the personal vote has done more than just provide a bit of symbolic backing for top candidates whose seats were never under threat anyway. Crucially, a very large proportion of the new Iraqi provincial councilors have been promoted through the personal vote results, rising from positions on their party lists where they would not have received seats according to the preset formula decided by party leaderships.

The best measure for seeing the effect of the popular vote is to carefully study that second set of tables issued by IHEC, which ranks candidates strictly after their personal votes. Note how almost all the major lists have very high percentages of candidates that moved forward to high positions due to personal votes they accumulated, mostly with more than 50% of the candidates rising to the top of the lists of vote getters being promoted from positions further down on the list (the main exception being the Sadrist, with somewhat lower rates).

This is not the whole story, though. Because of the women’s quota, the eventual seat winners are not strictly the candidates that won the most votes. Given the requirement that every fourth seat goes to a woman – and that women with a few notable exceptions garnered relatively few personal votes – the women’s quota in Iraq effectively continues to serve as a check on the electorate’s will (and as such often tallies with the interests of party leaderships, the obvious advantages of having higher female representation notwithstanding).

The following table shows the number of top-candidate councilors who remained in seat-winning positions also after the personal vote had been counted (first number); councilors that were promoted from non-winning positions due to the popular vote (second number); and finally women promoted through quota arrangements (third number). It should be added that there are probably no more than a couple of women in the second group of candidates that were promoted because they outnumbered other candidates (including men) in the personal vote, the best example probably being Aisha al-Masari of the Nujayfi list in Baghdad, who got 11,400 votes and thus almost made it to the national top 15.

ScreenHunter_02 May. 10 13.13

In sum, the personal vote option, favoured by the Shiite clergy when it was introduced in 2008, remains largely successful in shaking up Iraqi politics. To some extent, the  system was ridiculed when the Sadrists used it to the maximum in the parliamentary elections of 2010 by carefully orchestrating large number of personal votes for several Sadrists candidates who could then advance internally within the Iraqi National Alliance at the expense of other entities who saw their personal votes wasted on top candidates or not used at all. Nonetheless, these latest results show that the personal vote is here to stay in Iraq, and that elite politicians who choose to ignore it may be doing so at their own peril.

[cookie2] So this is all next week?

[millionday] whooop whooop

[millionday] yes next week but know we will be watching it to make sure they actually move toward it
[millionday] well lets think about this for a sec

[millionday] so if the services would require a tax it would be world services available — and

[ROBINREDHED] millionday why would you assume “world” services?

[millionday] it also would mean that with the communications and information system open and these services it should include the stock market — these companies as we know are publically owned

[ROBINREDHED] i pay tax on my cable service
[ROBINREDHED] my phone

[millionday] not tarriff

[wmawhite] millionday ……explain that a tax and tarif are different.

[ROBINREDHED] maybe they have to import service, like belize has to get electricity from mexico

[millionday] see it says the tarriff tax or am i tired and reading it wrong

[wmawhite] one is internal the other is external.

[ROBINREDHED] [millionday] so if the services would require a tax it would be world services available — and
[ROBINREDHED] u said tax

[millionday] the internet service is not a livelihood need though
[millionday] tarriff tax

[millionday] i meant

[ROBINREDHED] wmawhite i understand the difference

[millionday] this is meaning internet services

[wmawhite] ROBINREDHED ……I know you do…but , for the others…

[millionday] so the news is stating that the online tariff that is planned will be reduced next week
[millionday] it coincides with the opening of the cable
[millionday] and the information network which includes the electronic banking capabilities so this could be a huge leap for mankind lol

[ROBINREDHED] millionday ok, ill take that answer

[wilbur48] So are they bring the internet service in from an other country

[millionday] as a product

[millionday] supply and demand will be interesting as we watch it roll in
[millionday] how does that go
[millionday] a huge leap for mankind lol

[millionday] i think the fact that it coincides with the cable activation — hmmmmm
[millionday] too much info in one spot — i think they are trying to confuse us lol
[millionday] so any who — its next week when this goes into effect and trust me it is a whopper and it is huge — very

[millionday] now remember that cbi is meeting with all officials and discussing the exchange rate of the dinar
[millionday] and then there is this

millionday] Revealed the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, the start of the Iraqi Central Bank to take urgent action to preserve the stability of the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar by increasing the outlets sold for hard currency. A member of the Finance Committee Secretary Hadi for “Twilight News”, “The exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar began gradually returning to normal after the central bank to take measures represented an increase of Iraqi ports sold for hard currency.”

[millionday] Hadi said that “expanding outlets for hard currency in Baghdad and the provinces and non-monopoly on a limited number of banks and banking companies will lead to stability in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar compared with the dollar.” And witnessed the exchange rate of the dinar against the U.S. dollar declined during the past few days as dollar rose against the dinar 1125 after it had been stable for 1120. And threatened to parliamentary fact-finding committee CBI sales, in the first of Monday, resorting to international parties specialized in combating money laundering to track the money, which had been in the Development Fund for Iraq since 2003 until 2012 if not granted the CBI the full information.

[millionday] they were trying to keep it from fluctuating and now they are moving very fast to ensure it is stable at a rate while activating

[millionday] let me say that was a great article —

[millionday] the news is coming in so fast we are trying to get in here fast and have interlocked some of it tonight but what it was saying is they are applying regulations to secure the set rate right away

millionday] they have said today in the news from earlier in many press statements that we are in the middle of the activation of the modern banking and economic reform

millionday] so being in the middle of all of this and with the political news brought and with next week showing us the activation of the intercommunication and cable

[millionday] so to me that means the electronic banking is prepared and obviously by the multiple times i have brought it in == smile — the reason they have the experts there is to bring the rate back to the normal rate — cbi has said it is going to be from the

[millionday] year of the 80`s

millionday] i have no further news yet on shabibi so it is not released yet

[millionday] i will be in tomorrow some and bring what i find about it

Millionday is researching articles concerning Barzani being made President (in place of Talibani) and will update later. 

[millionday] Reduce the Ministry of Communications next week online tariffs by one-third compared to the current tariff within its plan for the current year. Minister of Communications Agency Dr. Torhan Mufti said in a statement to (Center Brief for the Iraqi Media Network): “The Ministry of Communications will begin next week to reduce tariffs online by a third, and within the fiber-optic networks to project the impact in the provision of Internet service, competitive prices and access to world-class in providing services. ” He reported that the project coincides with the opening of the submarine cable to be Iraq expressed a ground for the circulation of information through the information network between East and West.

Next week it gets REDUCED…meaning it is or will be in effect before next week. IMO          

No partnership after today .. Maliki to “third term” political majority

No partnership after today .. Maliki to “third term” political majority

Created Tuesday, 09 April / April 2013 07:42 | |

Maliki third term?BAGHDAD / David Ali

No longer difficult today the discovery of the aspirations of the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in the third term despite facing strong criticism for his policy. Maliki equipped weapons to compete with the rest of the liabilities and spoke with great confidence in the festival’s electoral coalition “rule of law”, which was held in Baghdad on March 30 and said it “will reap the political majority in the provincial councils.”

But the first image that observer can capture a scene campaign for the owners that enter his political team and head حربته of the “Dawa” in exercise proactively elections transit to “third term”, which without a doubt will not work according to any standard earlier, and will launch a “partnership “Balthelath.

Dawa party leader attracted to described several political figures, mostly involving Basma and one which they are former dissidents from the blocks partially allied with him in the past or stubborn opponents opponents since his first term in 2008. Fajder Khuzaie leader of the Dawa party organization of Iraq, a historic dissident faction of al-Maliki, and there is also a Hadi al-Ameri, Secretary Badr Organization, which split from the Islamic Supreme Council headed by Ammar al-Hakim.

And outside the traditional framework of alliances state law political gains reaped Maliki while profit tour negotiate with Saleh al-Mutlaq, leader National Dialogue Front, and Jamal Karbouli leader block the solution, including the signals Maliki political majority T_khashma, and a number of defectors from the “Iraqi” no longer block says most prominent leaders.

Today speaks close to al-Maliki that he reaps the fruits of political maneuvers that earned them more political power and influence on the scene alliances. “We will state law attendance optimization and efficient and the most in the upcoming provincial elections as a result of the history of people in these councils in the current session and candidates for the next session and dedication of Iraq, Without the survival of the rule of law together within the framework of the National Coalition for Iraq was in the other situation.” Thus spoke Maliki in the electoral FESTIVAL attended “discussion.”

Maliki spoke this language ecstatic largely to the extent that it reached out to resolve the indirect results of the local elections, and he wants them to prepare resources powers that are available to the tour next legislative elections, has settled his time ago for a third term and one of the reasons that led him to trust that every crisis and pressure made him feel that he sticks to opponents if they wanted to abort it.

He believes that his strength came from his ability to protect the cohesion of the political faction, and the failure of the opposition to derail the political process. It is not too Maliki that refers to that point during his speech at the festival where he said “the challenges were great and stood fast assistance of partners in the political process, but sounds that we hear that resound in retaliation will not be able to gain from Iraq because Iraq recovered both at the national and foreign relations.”

Soon new allies engaged in the project in the language in which electoral leg-Maliki touting the strength and ability to win any new challenge. It seems that a number of those who opposed the leader of the Dawa Party, and have come to the conviction that partnership opportunities with very little Maliki and proven fact it almost impossible task, especially with Maliki to control the sources of political and security decision.

With the failure of partnership liabilities discover that they belong to the blocks have not achieved good results in the local elections last, and the solution is the search for a political lever provide them with the opportunity to obtain political gains in the Legislative Council and the Executive Council.

The MP says Maliki’s ally and leader of the Badr Organization, “We are facing hard work and cumbersome to meet some of those who are hostile to create despair in the hearts of Iraqis and get them to a reluctance to participate in the elections from, we have today a great responsibility to convince the Iraqi people to participate in the elections.”

It is clear that al-Maliki plans for a new chapter of political life in the country, and is keen at the conference also showed the electoral law of the state to make his political party a sharp polarity, and found himself the “political majority” long-term.

In the recent crisis, which has worsened with the demonstrations in the cities of Anbar and Mosul was Maliki arrange home interior for new allies do not believe in partnership on the way “Erbil agreement”, and have the approval of a majority government led by himself.

He says Ahmed Salim Hussain, a professor of political science that “traditional alliances upon which the current government will not be valid after the day of any political project, and the intention of al-Maliki to take over the government for the third time as a foregone conclusion. Hussein added,” the way in which marketed the Prime Minister for his bloc and its allies confirms including No doubt that the new sorting clearer preparing him the political process in a country where opposition forced the government to monitor the parliament. ”

Maliki will go to the third term without a doubt will go a way to cross the recipe political does not depend only “political majority which avoided the opposition, which sits in government today and leave tomorrow, and to achieve this ambition or not associated with the presence of political factions have the ability to compete with al-Maliki, such as the Sadrists, who may be a barrier between the leader of the Islamic Dawa and his third.

OCrush With The Latest – Post From Peoples Dinar

Posted Today, 12:42 PM  OCRUSH E-MAIL April 8th  Post By Hopesway – Peoples Dinar

  Hello Diane and All,

Ok…this is the latest.  Parliament had a session today and passed some laws.  Maliki was of course a no show.  This is what happened in parliament today.  Nujaifi, the head of parliament, extended the legislative term for another month. Reason, political developments. 

The article below that my cousin sent me a few days ago will explain what is really going on.  We sat on this till we saw the outcome of today.  The reason for the legislative extension is because they need to see what is going to happen with the provincial elections.

 They were suppose to take vacation from April 15 – June 15 but Nujaifi changed there vacation to take place from May 15 – June 15 2013.  Reason…they need the elections to take place to see which way this will go. 
…
Read More Link On Right

This is why they postponed the next parliamentary session to take place April 23 2013, after the elections.  The article below also explains what Maliki was talking about having a Majority Gov.

 If something was to happen today with Maliki the Sadrist bloc could have acted but they did not. As far as the Kurds,  not much has been published on the outcome of there “last chance” to get article 140 implemented.    

Please note that the banking sector in Iraq is the most advanced then any other country.  The new 2nd generation Ki card is being distributed to the people through there respected banks.  It includes hand print and facial recognition.  We don’t even have that in full scale here.

Too many privacy laws to be given up in the US.  This technology that is being introduced in Iraq is close to Japans banking.  On the budget end…they seem to have established an emergency fund using the Japanese loan (some of the 4.5 billion) this is why parliament passed a law to protect the Japanese funds if they were not to be used for investment purposes. 

They will retroactively pull it from the budget to pay it back when its implemented.  The good news is they found a way around that and the budget will show in the gazette when all this political mumbo jumbo is complete.  So let us see what happens on April 20th and give them a couple of days to count the votes.  Hence parliament reconvenes April 23, 2013.  Here is the article with link below.

 iraqi pm al-maliki: ‘i will win a third term’

  niqash | Daoud al-Ali | Baghdad | 04.04.2013Speaking in Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is overwhelmingly confident about this month’s provincial elections. He says he will win by forging new political alliances.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki plans to remain in power for another term; sources close to the Iraqi leader, who has been criticized for undemocratic behavior, say he’s ready to reap the fruits of his political maneuvering. This includes his forging several unlikely alliances.

 On the not-so- surprising list were the likes of one of Iraq’s two deputy Presidents, Khudayr al-Khuzai, a former member of al-Maliki’s own party who had previously left the party as well as Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of the Badr Organization, formerly part of Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq. The latter two men are Shiite Muslims, just like al-Maliki.

 More surprising inclusions are Saleh al-Mutlaq, one of the country’s three deputy Prime Ministers and Jamal al- Karbouli, head of the National Movement for Reform and Development, or Al Hal, party. Both of the latter are members of the Iraqiya opposition bloc and Sunni Muslims.

At an event held pre-Iraq’s provincial elections attended by NIQASH, al-Maliki was confident. “Our party will have the best and most efficient presence during upcoming provincial elections,” he boasted.

“”There have been challenges but we have been able to face them because of our partners in the political process. It would have been very different if we hadn’t been able to maintain our coalition’s unity,” he added, somewhat ingenuously. “I will win a political majority in the provincial elections,” he concluded.

 Al-Maliki is able to speak with such confidence because, despite all the pressures exerted upon him, he has not yet been defeated by his political enemies nor removed from office.

And he seems sure to run for a third term – despite the fact that earlier in 2013, other MPs voted for a law that would restrict any Iraqi PM from more than two terms. The law still needs to be ratified and the next Parliamentary elections in Iraq are to be held in early 2014.

 “Now we must work hard to face down those who are hostile to us,” Badr Organization head, al-Amiri, said. “These people are pressuring the Iraqi people not to participate in these elections. But our responsibility is to convince them otherwise.” 

 Observers say that al-Maliki is planning a new political chapter for the country. Judging by the allies he is choosing – or being forced to choose – he seems to be planning to rule by political majority rather than by using sectarian alliances or a quota system.

 “Al-Maliki has more or less confirmed that he is going to run for a third term,” Ahmed Salim Hussein, a professor of political science, told NIQASH. “After this, traditional political alliances upon which the current government is based won’t exist. The way in which al-Maliki is marketing his bloc and his allies confirms that there will be new alliances made in Iraq.”

 Whether al-Maliki succeeds or fails with this new plan remains to be seen. A major political party like the Sadrist movement still has the potential to stop the current PM from his goal of ruling the country for a third term.

OCRUSH CONTINUES:   My cousin and I were waiting to see if something extraordinary was going to take place today but now we know what Maliki has stated a few days ago is true and the Blocs tried to bring him in but with no success.  For Nujaifi to extend the legislative term suggests they will wait for the provincial election outcome.  Either way we want political stability in Iraq and this is the end game.   Cheers:)

  PS:  They might need to wait until the Anbar province elections take place and that takes place in May.  If Malikis majority wins in April 20th, then it wont matter.  Let us hope, if he does win the majority,  the monetary policies will RV.  Political stability is what I am looking for and I believe the CBI and IMF are also looking for that stability.  Either way one government will come out ahead.

OZmosis & Members Discussion on Zeros – From Dinar Vets

Post From Dinar Vets

ZERO DISCUSSION — AGAIN — No pun intended — lol

OZmosis: Article Quote: “CENTRAL BANK DELETED THREE ZEROS from the currency early NEXT YEAR (2014) to eliminate the forged currency & the new project would be ISSUED COINS up. Student Economist Salim Al-daini, the application of the draft Central Bank deleted three zeros from the currency early next year, to eliminate the forged currency in the local market.

He said Al-daini (News Agency): draft three zeros from the currency, deletion would serve the Iraqi citizen in terms of reducing large categories and easily traded, as well as support the economy through the withdrawal of counterfeits, which are widespread in the market.

He added: the project must be applied after you set the kvoaeh management for the Central Bank to be implemented early next year (2014), it is one of the strategic projects in the country.

He noted that the current categories of national currency is easy to damage, forcing the State printing new currencies for every three months and these constitute an additional burden on the State funds for printing new currencies, indicating that the new project would be issued coins up for more than 25 years.
…
Read More Link On Right

  The Council demanded that the Prime Minister earlier in the previous administration for the Central Bank to wait to delete the three zeros from the local currency, saying that a large project and needs sufficient time to apply.” END Article Link

OZmosis Comment: Let me get this straight – is the suggestion to remove 3 zeros early 2014 just an opinion expressed by Student Economist Salim Al-daini ?? … or is he saying this is what the CBI intend to do? If so, does this mean the order of events will be:

1. RV now (1:1 sounds good and is also logical for more efficient transition re prices as Iraq already has adjusted to dollar value – it just becomes 1 dinar in lieu of 1 dollar)

2. Then quickly bring out some small denoms as if a cup of coffee will cost 3 dinar after RV – how will they give change of from a 25,000 note…so they will need some coins less than value 1 dinar, some 5 dinar notes, 10 dinar notes, 25 dinar notes, etc etc.

3. From RV onwards – as worn larger value notes flow back to the CBI – they shred them and replace with smaller denoms (no lop re value) but say, replace 1 old 10000 dinar note with 200×50 new dinar notes. And, if they are really concerned about quality of notes – they make better ones that last longer – simple.

4. The cut-off date to cash in larger notes becomes early 2014….it is by then they want all large notes in and they will be destroyed. At that time, the 3 zeros will be gone…ie, removed but by management of a plan to discontinue the larger denominations and all done and achieved without a lop. This makes more sense than the above suggestion by Student Economist Salim Al-daini – or is this what he means by “3 zero’s removed”

I don’t get that bit about “damaged notes” as being a valid argument in isolation for replacing the entire currency – as in every country globally I would imagine that worn/torn/damaged notes are simply taken out of circulation and replaced. For instance the UK pound normally lasts about 12 months before it needs replacement.

Surely the quality of the dinar is as good as the UK pound? For example I have had my dinar quite a while and it is as good as new !!! I would however relate to an argument that Iraq is talking about new currency because they will need some smaller denoms very sooooon – coins etc of value less than 1 ie 5, 10, 20, etc as they will need much smaller coin and note values if the RV results in the dinar being as 1:1 value to the US$..and, lots of new dinar notes in smaller denominations.

DONTLOP REPLIES:  if the cost is more than one dinar  to print a dinar note valued at one dollar . its not worth it to print it .. so it has to be made out of metal . .. the large notes would have to co exist for a time period ,. so they can make change for the 25 k notes ..

 the 25k notes would have to go first .. then the 10 k notes . then the 5 k notes .. then the 1000 kn notes ….you will need the 10 k  and smaller notes during the lifting of the 25 k notes …. after those are gone .. you will need the 5k notes to get rid of the 10 k notes ….

after that they could get by with the 500 notes and the fiftys .. but i think they will be adding  the 100  notes also to the addition of the small denominations which will  co exist …. they wouldnt need them to co exist if they are rermoving them ..

they will simply just cease to exist because of demand .. their wont be any need for the large  notes  any more except for maybe bank  transafers .. which would be done electronically any way ., so they will just become obsolete .. so why keep printing up new ones ..

after an exchange period of a couple years  they will demonetize them .. even though a few lopsters think demonetizing  currency doesnt mean anything … it does .. legal tender laws define  whats legal and what isn’t

why co exist .. why not have an exchange .. they talk about a two year coexistance . maybe not in this peticular article .. but they talk about two years coexistance… they exchanged all the dinars in 2003 in less than 3 months with out banks .. in a war zone

adding smaller notes is necessary if they raise the nominal value ..

 they are going to delete 3 zeros off the nominal value of the dinars . if you have a 10000 note .. that gives you 10000 times the nominal value of a  single dinar .

  .00086  <<<<<<<<<<  nominal  value of one iqd <<<>>>go ahead delete 3 zeros off the nominal value  of the iqd . what do ya get ..   i dont see articles saying they are deleting the amount of dinars you have .. just zeros off the nominal value

this is my favorite one >>> BAGHDAD, April 12 (Reuters) – Iraq has decided to hold off on a plan to knock three zeros off the nominal value of bank notes of its currency because it does not believe the economic climate is suitable, the cabinet secretary said on Thursday.  LINK

UNCIRCULD REPLIES:  ok, they have already picked up some of the 3 zero notes.  I think they are finding out that there are a lot more out there (in country, and most likely the crooked MP’s & Ministers) and they would like to get a bit more before re-denominating and/or raising the value. 

Heck, they can steal billions of dollars monthly, what part of afford don’t they get?  I guess the part that says that their government is nothing more than a bunch of thugs, and thieves.  So it is greed that has held this up, whether greed for power or greed for money or both.

Getting a grip on the political scene and the corruption (which is rampant) would be the first thing for them to tackle.  Shabibi worked on the project from his end.  The laws, the economics etc etc.  With much resistance I might add from none other than Maliki. 

He kept on pushing Shabibi’s progress back until finally Maliki just decided in order to stop Shabibi from progressing the country financially (securely) he had to trump charges on him to get rid of him.  And he we are waiting on a Turkey (Turki) to make a move. 

But mr turki got in there and enabled Maliki to do exactly what he tried but Shabibi would not let him and that is get his grubby greedy hands on the reserves.  There is one small detail that maliki overlooked, the Feds and IMF are monitoring the CBI. 

This is to protect the money of Iraq from it’s government.  He may get away with it right now but later, he will have gotten away with nothing.  Unless of course they allow him out with a free get out of jail card

ALBUNDY ASKS: dontlop: ” knock three zeros off the nominal value of bank notes of its currency “, I am still confused about this sentence. Does that mean that delete 3 zeros from the nominal value of bank notes ( 25,000 bill delete 3 zeros= 25 IQD ) or the currency’s rate ( 0.00086 delete 3 zeros= 0.86 or Is it one of them=RV ( or both of them=RD )? I hope I was wrong. help me out.

DONTLOP REPLIES:  this is the nominal value of one dinar .. >>> .000865

 knock 3 zeros off the nominal value of one dinar .. .865 per dinar

 did you ever see where they will knock the zeros off how many dinars you have ?

  there have been so many diferent storys about this that no one knows ..  heres a story .. its going to rain , its not going to rain .. end of story ..  is it going to rain ?  lol

 i know they have talked about deleeting 3 zeros off the nominal value .. if that is true .. i think that means one dinar will be worth  86 cents .

 then they would have to add small denominations of dinars to the currency  in exchange for the big notes .they would need small denominations of the dinar  to make change .

 if its the other way .. and they delete how many dinars you have ..  and….  delete three zeros off the nominal value of the dinar. then it will mean your 25k note is only worth 23 dollars ..

   if they delete how many dinars you have  and they dont delete  3 zeros off the nominal value  ,, then they robbed us .lol

 if they just delete the zeros off the nominal value .. that means your 25k note is worth 23 thousand dollars ..  take your pick of the smoke screen they put up .

SANDSTORM REPLIES:  deleting zeroes, is a topic of redenomination.  simply put, you replace with a new currency without three zeroes. i.e. 1,5,10,25,50,100.

 Nominal is face value, the new currency will not have three zeroes.

 Delete Three Zeroes- two exchange rates for local currency.

 old dinar–10,000IQD X .00086= 8.86

 new dinar–10 new dinar X .86= 8.86

 A neutral event. As you see the three zeroes were adjusted on exchange rate.  The zeroes dont come off the old notes,  its just the exchange rate is locked. Then the new dinar, has three less zeroes, but the exchange rate is .86. So an old 10K note and a new 10 dinar, have the same value.
