Iraq Chapter 7 Recovery Involves American Commitment

20 years after the 1990 Gulf War and the Iraqi Government is still faced with the clean up in the form of 73 United Nations sanctions.  American coalition forces helped to create these sanctions.  Today’s post Saddam agenda now has America committed to the recovery. 

(Iraq) “Will not regain full sovereignty and independence without getting rid of these resolutions”, says Hoshyar Zebari, Iraq’s Foreign Minister in July of 2009.

The Government of Kuwait continues to siphon a percentage of oil revenue from Iraq with the help of these United Nation sanctions.  Kuwait also owns 60% of the banks in Iraq.  So if you can imagine the correlation of these two variables, everything is working together in the preparation of Iraq’s oil based recovery. 

Understanding a ‘ball park’ time line for the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar would require a broad look at all the parts of the puzzle that once together form an inevitable platform for the Dinar to springboard from. 

Iraq elections in march of 2010 will be followed by the passing of the hydrocarbon law.  This will increase oil revenue and combined with a forecast of increasing oil prices Iraq will be much better positioned for removal of sanctions and a revaluation. 

Status of Forces Agreement was signed by Iraq Government officials which in essence was a promise of the U.S. Government to help out Iraq chapter 7.  Iraq is not out of the woods yet but the country is in a position where full independence militarily is within reach.

Warka ATM Card Works In 210 Counties 

Officials from the Al Warka Bank in Iraq announced in a press conference in Erbil that a pre paid MasterCard tied to the global network is now available.

Banking with Warka in Iraq allows a foreign account holder to earn up to 6% annual interest with an Iraqi bank account without having to go to Iraq.  There is only a $10US minimum to open the account also.

The new MasterCard for offered by Warka is the only one of its kind available anywhere in Iraq.  The card is interfaced directly with the SWIFT banking system for easy International payments from any bank that accepts MasterCard payments. 

Asking your Warka banker to set you up with one of these cards may be a good idea.  Requesting the card to be linked to your Dinar savings account would be even better.  These are simple features that would effectively allow you to withdraw your Dinars from a bank machine anywhere in the world.  You would get the local currency instead of dinars and the exchange rate would include a new banking fee of about 2% minimum plus other fixed ATM fees for international use.

Warka ‘Rule Breaker’ Becomes ‘Rule Maker’

If your like me you know about Warka Bank in Iraq and their front line reputation in opening accounts for foreign companies and private Dinar investors. But what about this rule breaker, rule maker bit you may ask. Allow me to change the subject briefly then tie it all back together for you.

Rule Breaker/Rule Maker explained

Take a look at MicrosoftÒ in the very early 1990’s when AppleÒ owned the patent on what became a billion dollar function in a software application. I’m talking about the ability of a window, in WindowsÒ to be able to over lap other windows.

AppleÒ in a nutshell would allow MicrosoftÒ to create a software application that permitted the user to open multiple windows in one computer screen but AppleÒ owned the patent on the ability of those windows to be able to overlap one another.

What did Bill Gates do? Well we all know he created WindowsÒ and explicitly broke the rules regarding Apple’s intellectual property. MicrosoftÒ grew so fast that they became a rule maker. Dominating the software industry with what became a monopoly in Internet access software.

Sounds a bit scary don’t it,…. It does to me too…. but let us jump from fall of 2007 to March of 2009

Warka Becomes A Rule Maker

Foreign investment revenue for Warka in Iraq in January and February 2009 was under 1 million US dollars per month. When Warka online banking opened in March of 2009 the bank experienced exponential growth that no one would have predicted.

Warka bank foreign investment revenue from folks who want to buy dinar like you and I went from under 1 million US per month to over 1 billion US in march 2009. Just from opening a website that accepts online applications and allows warka online banking in the form of viewing account balances and things of that nature.

Well, what the exponential growth in revenue did for Bill Gates happened with Warka too. Imagine being able to pay off all the law suits that had been brewing before the exponential growth in revenue with money left over to - influence law makers, thus becoming a Rule Maker.

There came a point where President Bill Clinton publicly gave Bill Gates a hug when Mr Gates was hit with a custom tailored change in law that would help level the playing field for competition in the software industry. Bill Clinton didn’t put Mr Gates in jail, he just gave him a hug.

Al-Warka, although I don’t know much about him; Al must be a likable guy to have a monopoly on instant bank machines in Iraq way back in the Saddam Hussein era. Owning a piece of land for a house back then was virtually impossible unless you married a women who had ties to the Saddam regime, or a brother in Saddam’s honourable Republican Guard which would be comparable to the Secret Service in the US.

Owning Dinar in a bank account in Iraq at Warka is not nearly as risky as it was a mere 2 years ago. Opportunity access procedures is something you need to be much more concerned about. How to do, what to do, what not to do, regarding a new Warka account.

Dinar Banknotes are not the only way to own dinar and diversification is key to adding strength to any portfolio.
