No Date Or Rate But Perhaps A Tentative Time Line
Iraq takes deliver of its money from US, after months of lifting of Chapter 7
03 Apr 2014
After lifting of Chapter 7 sanctions, Iraq is now finally ready to lift the American protection on the Iraqi money deposited in the United States of America.
This step was welcomed by many but also stirred fear as it might be a qualitative step in the financial Iraqi sector. Will this money become an easy target to some authorities under the pretext of debt?

However, many fear that “gold digging” countries and traders would file lawsuits before an international court on the grounds that the previous regime owes them money.
Former governor of Central Bank of Iraq, Mathhar Mohammad Saleh said, “Development Fund for Iraq is financed by oil revenues deposited in the Federal Reserve Bank and 5% of the amount would be deducted as indemnification for Kuwait according to Chapter 7 sanction imposed by the United Nations on Iraq.”
He added, “Ever since the Central Bank of Iraq has taken responsibility of the Development Fund for Iraq in 2010; it has become unprotected which pushed Iraq to place it again under the American protection.”
He further noted, “Iraq agreed with the USA to place this money under the American protection for a full year at the time, i.e. until June 2011 after the sanctions were lifted on December 15, 2010 in virtue of resolution 1956; placing Development Fund for Iraq under the bank’s management.”
“This protection extension is the last of its kind”, mentioned Saleh; clarifying that “the protection of the Iraqi money deposited in the American banks is normal even if it wasn’t postpones especially that the Central Bank of Iraq is an independent entity and the money it manages is not used in speculations or trade”.
Central Bank of Iraq’s Acting Governor Abdul Bassit Turky puts fears of wasting away Iraqi money in the US to rest by confirming that “American’s protection of Iraqi money will end on the 22nd of May, 2014.”
“The Iraqi money deposited in the US has been under its protection for 2 years”, clarified Turky pointing out that “people’s claim to the previous regime’s debts is not a threat to Iraqi resources.”
“The important issue that Iraq was facing with the Kuwaiti airlines has been solved.
Consequently the issues that might be raised now are far fewer than those possibly raised 5 years ago”, added Turky.
“Now, Iraq can defend its resources with the help of lawyers and international councilors and advisors”, he stressed.

Looks like this could be more hope that Iraq will indeed “lift the 3 zeros in June 2014″ June 30th in not that far away. And while over the last 4 1/2 years that I’ve been in this investment, there have been many occasions where the words “they can’t wait that long have been spoken and written”, we are still waiting.
While Intel and many articles, both diversionary and repeated have been published, the job will not be “done” until it shows on the CBI site.
Frank tells us to be strong then stronger. I on the other hand have taken this advice to heart and for the last number of months follow this forum with “alert indifference” to date, rate, and windows, if I’m blessed enough to be on this side of glory when the posting is made on the CBI then I will greatly praise God for bringing this to fruition.
When all is said and done we absolutely know that outside of a very small circle of folks who are working on the project, no one knows the date and rate but perhaps a tentative time line.
