For economic (citizen): embezzlement and theft in some private banks lose confidence of citizens and the government

BAGHDAD - Editor
The economist said Dr Issam Mahouelle that reduced activity of private banks in Iraq due to several reasons, notably the absence or lack of trust both among citizens and government or between these banks.
The Mahouelle's (Citizen) yesterday that the basis of banking in any country is the confidence, but unfortunately there are several cases of embezzlement and theft of funds held in some private banks operating in Iraq years ago and is still entrenched in the minds of many, which led to a reversal of this situation negatively on the rest of the private banks which strives to develop its banking system. He Mahouelle that dealing with government banks the opinion of citizens more secure than dealing with its counterpart in the civil fact that the citizen used to provide the Government has all the guarantees while he did not touch to ensure similar from some private banks due to the old idea ingrained in his mind for years. He called the Central Bank of private banks to increase its capital to 250 billion Iraqi dinars and three stages are the installment amount on the payments in the first term of June 30 while ending the last payment in June 30, 2013. A source at the Central Bank declined to be named for (the citizens) in case you can not private banks to increase capital in the said period, they will choose between integration with other banks or companies to turn to for money transfer. The source added that the bank demanded that the banks would deposit funds at the Subscription has IPO on the stock, while refusing to private banks for reasons that might be known. He pointed out that some of the private banks insist on accusing the central bank to restrict their boards in place while this procedure ensures that all rights. To the said Chairman, Gulf Commercial Bank Abu Talib al-Hashemi said that the banks Iraqi civil partially paralyzed due to the monopoly of the government banks of the banking business , indicating that the structural banking hybrid and suffer from imbalances are structural and not commensurate with the development of the Iraqi economy. The Abu Talib al-Hashemi told (Voices of Iraq) that the structural Iraqi bank «suffer from imbalances are structural not compatible with the orientations of the economic system, social and political», as they «do not match or coincide with the approach of the State in determining paths for future development of new emerging about the free system, which believes in the development and maturation and accelerate private sector in various economic fields ». Hashemi pointed to the importance of reforming the banking system in Iraq to perform his duties to the fullest but at the same time stressed the importance of the« Diagnosis disadvantages of the current system and identify imbalances, and failures First », indicating that the banking system is concentrated structure of the structural core as a« structural hybrid does not fit with the evolution of the current economic system and do not reflect the goals of his career ».

Subject: Iraqi Dinar Position Real Leaders Meeting Updates. Real positions now all laid out.

Perhaps it is A reality this time.

 All new Iraqi Dinars are printed and ready to go. Conversion and Forex opening positions are ready. Speculators have now got very active and have focused on creating forward exit trades into mid June so a launch now has to be imminent or they short their positions. They must know something big, or take a big hit! Now we have London Forex traders calling us for advance Market Intel fast on the Iraqi Dinar.  
The current stress in the Capital Markets have resulted in considerable exposure for the US, and liquidity shortfalls have created delays.
Next week the UK withdraws its remaining Navy support for retraining Iraq's naval forces.
The world needs oil and Iraq needs its own money badly to underpin its own internal economy. If Iraq can now sell its own oil rapidly and convert to its own dinars to fund its desperate economy, the world will see an increase in Oil volume, which will settle and lower Oil price levels, helping Global economies recover.
I suspect, after meeting the UK Prime Minister and Queen, the new Dinar will soon be released. Today, Tuesday, is only a full Palace ceremonial show for world PR. The real time agenda you now have. The President and British PM only meet on Wednesday to fully discuss the Middle East. No doubt some cross business is outstanding there with many agendas needing to be settled. Iraq has to disburse a lot of trade via Kuwait and Kuwait is a British protectorate, so the Brits are key to any deal now. Iraq and Kuwait will need London's Forex market support.  
Almost every key Tax Haven and Offshore Banking centre in the world is either British owned or protected. For sure, with all our Middle East interests we will be up to the nose in any solution. Kuwait and Iraq are so intertwined it will be impossible to impose such a Constitutional change without the Brits. Love them or not, the Brits have their noses in all the key money troughs globally with 65% of all world Forex trades routed via London. I suspect this visit to see the Queen and British PM all links into a new Iraqi market launch. It fits logically.
Plus, Obama will be doing his own private EU and London Offshore banking.As well as collecting his share of the old looted US money hidden by Bush and Clinton from Ireland. His lick!
With forces now withdrawing from Iraq we have to set them free, so releasing the Dinar now makes a lot of sense. How else can they grow and fund their internal businesses?
The Volcanic Ash cloud erupting again from Iceland has already affected Obamas tour and schedules. He now is spending more time in Britain. He arrived a day early. His flight path back may be affected as the volcano is erupting again but slowly. The Brits will max out the Dinar deal while he's here. Huge pressure will be on for this week now. He is spending an extra day here.
I am tracking it like a bloodhound now each day from our end. It's opened up so many other valuable info sources for us for the future. It gave us access into the Knights of Malta and their British Grandmaster, and the key 5 families who really rule the Vatican. Valuable links for the future.
This looks a big week for Iraq. London will be deeply involved. Wednesday is the Middle East meeting day. Action is more likely after that. This sudden surge in Iraqi Dinar futures must be based on a lot of leaks. They are exiting in June on a 21 day cycle so market forces are already at work. Yesterday morning it was blank. It all hit the night desks without warning. Speculating launched last night. All I can assess is it's imminent. Now we have their meeting time scales we can make a few guesses. Pick your day after Wednesday and it has to be by next week or the Forex futures bets are all blown. Whatever the stresses, it's profiling strongly now like it's between one day to a week for the nightmares to end.  I strongly suspect a lot of that Forex gambling is Arab money in the know.  

To me this summarises all the key issues. You make the guesses. Whatever the pain, it looks imminent now. Their real meeting schedule is valuable info for you. Hard, base facts.

This is From Karen "The Bank Negotiating Lady"


I want to assure you and the members that I am doing everything in my power to execute my written bank proposal to Wells Fargo Bank. The proposal is completed but the timing has to be perfect for execution!  So you know, I have added one more back up measure and that is I have also decided to present this proposal to BOA, as well. This decision is based upon using a 'carrot in front of the horse' approach and possibly giving a 'group exclusive' to the horse that takes the first bite. I will not play a waiting game with these darn banks but I do not want to approach more than two at a time. If I do, it will take power out of the plan. This whole plan is strategic and delicate in nature and needs my full attention. Just so everyone knows, I am not in this for the glory! I just want to be a good steward, get the job done, and then fade into the sunset.

My intentions are when this plan comes to fruition, I will release a group code # that I request the bank to set up internally so it can be made available for  anyone involved in this investment to easily use. My job will then be finished but several key people that all of you know will get the word out to you for me--nobody would listen to me if I alone tried to get the word out there! LOL.  I will also release the written terms that are agreed upon.  Please note that it is premature to do so at this point. I hope everyone understands that. Frankly, I did not want anybody to know about this plan until it actually was completed.  But the plan leaked out! So, since a lot of people now know what I am trying to do, all I can say is that I am going to do my very best to make it happen--nothing like pressure, huh? (LOL).

I highly encourage everyone to have, as I do, a plan A, B, C, and even D to fall back on just in case any particular plan fails. Everyone should realize by now that there are so many variables that can play out on many levels with this Iraqi Dinar investment. Planning is crucial! When the RV happens, there are still so many shaded areas involving the banks, taxes, and laws that can 'pop' out of nowhere and bring us surprises that we weren't expecting.  So please, everyone be as prepared as you possibly can be.

Many blessings to everyone,
Karen

Currencies Are Expected to Rally This Year ~ Currency values vital decisions for fund managers ...

Snip ~ "Manulife Asset Management said the opportunity lies in further appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah, the Korean won and Chinese renminbi"

Currency values vital decisions for fund managers


Singapore, Asia's growing inflation and tight monetary policies that go with it are changing the way fund managers make their investment decisions.

Interest rates, which are a key factor for investments, now take a backseat to make way for currency values as their primary consideration.

And with that, fund managers are investing in assets denominated in currencies that are expected to rally this year.

As interest rates rise, bond prices go down, and that is a disincentive to bond investors.

But instead of flocking to regions with low interest rates, investors continue to find a gold mine in Asian credit markets.
Manulife Asset Management said the opportunity lies in further appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah, the Korean won and Chinese renminbi.
The asset management arm of Canadian-based Manulife Financial has launched an Asian bond fund to ride on these currencies' strength.

Manulife Asset Management managing director for fixed income Endre Pedersen said: "Inflation is going to continue to be on peoples' minds and you'll see central banks continue to increase interest rates.

"We don't think we're going to make much money from interest per se, so what we're doing and looking for is the way to make sure that we're investing in those that are less rate-sensitive.

"Currencies is obviously one way to generate returns".

The strategy works such that when institutional investors lend money to companies or invest in sovereign bonds, the currency by which the asset is denominated becomes a primary consideration.

A bond fund with an optimistic view on the Indonesian rupiah for instance, could buy bonds denominated in that currency.

As investors switch back again to their base currency - US dollar for instance - they will benefit not only from the returns from owning that rupiah bond but also from the exchange rate differentials.

Experts said Asian central banks are more likely to let their currencies appreciate to fight imported inflation from soaring global oil and commodity prices.

Manulife said it expects the yuan to strengthen by at least five per cent versus the US dollar by year end.

The Chinese currency has rallied by 1.3 per cent since the start of this year.

The fund manager is betting on a five per cent appreciation in the Indonesian rupiah and for the Korean won to trade below 1,000 to the US dollar by year end.

Fundsupermart general manager Wong Sui Jau said: "Especially for Asia, we're seeing a hike in interest rates rather than a fall.

"So there are not much returns to be made from there as well. Ultimately, what happens is that currency is the only remaining driver which will actually bring you returns.

"This is coupled by the fact (that) last year's currency made a huge difference in terms of returns.

"So if you're a bond fund manager who picked the country and bonds with the right currency exposure, you'll make a huge difference as opposed to if you didn't care about currencies at all, or if you picked the wrong currencies".

Manulife estimates that between 1997 and 2010, the return on Asian bonds was eight per cent a year, outperforming global indices.
