Will it be wise step to invest in Iraq’s economy?

It may be because they will have a lot of backing from the US and other western nations/business/contractors. The US will look very foolish if Iraq fails economically so every step will be taken to guide them into prosperity. \n\nHowever, insurgency and other threats may seek to stall growth there which of course would make it a poor investment. \n\nIf the people view economic growth as a prosper for Iraqis and Muslims, then they will allow it to grow with US guidance. If they see it as another imposition of Western controll they will boycot and loot that growth. \n\nAn emerging markets investment may be a wiser choice.

Bush has requested Billions of dollars in funds for Iraq sometime ago. Most of those funds went to the military. I guess Gordon Brown wanted a fund program that is more specific to Iraq's economy.

That depends on the resolution.  If we pull out and Iraq has a civil war, then no.  If Congress finally sends the necessary number of troops to secure the country for the 75 years - YES I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT'S HOW LONG IT WILL BE - then very eventually, it will be worth it.

I suspect it may be about that much - the better part of the Gross National Product of Iraq is oil revenues so that sounds correct. The people of Iraq are the ones who have paid the cost on both sides of the conflict. I suspect that there is no way to reclaim the financial losses except through a long period of peace and prosperity in Iraq - Suni and Shiite factions would both need to work together to bring the oil back under the control of an elected coalition government that actually represents Iraq's interests instead of those of the US and other Foreign Nationals like the Saudi and British and other WTO nations - it would take about 10 years of peace but it can be done if the two factions can admit that they have been played for fools and set at each other's throats just to make the rich foreign nationals richer.

Yes you got to invest wisely, they provide with the information required.  You got to also understand the costing that will occur to finally occupy the property and timeline to get the property  See their site johnbecland.com

Absolutely, Peace and Democracy will happen in Iraq. I have a source you can look at to see the progress and great things that happen in Iraq that the mainstream media doesn’t tell you about.

The New Iraqi Dinar is not currently being traded on the world market. So you can only exchange it in Iraq or some neighboring Arab countries. The other options you have is that you could sell it to someone on EBay or to one of the internet companies that sell Iraqi Dinar like www.TheDinarGroup.com. \n\nHowever, if you have the old "Saddam" currency, well… let’s just say that you have some very pretty wall paper. Unfortunately to owner of the old “Saddam” currency, it isn't worth anything anymore. It’s simply a collectible now. I would keep it, hold onto it, and pass it on to your children’s grand children who may then pass it on to their children’s grand children. Maybe by then it would become a rare piece of history. Hope this helps.

I agree/disagree.  We can win in the long run.  The hope is that 20 years from now Iraq will be economically stable and it's people jamming to the Eagle's. peace

What I think we should do as far as a serious answer goes is: equip the Iraqi "army" with some modern equipment.  We then give the Iraqi government a 1 billion dollar loan.  We start to pull troops out at a rate of 100 per week.  By the time we get out the politicians will have agreed to this new idea.  Allow the Iraqis to pay back their loan in a steady river of oil until we all switch to something new.  The Iraqi people would be grateful and the government would become our strongest ally.  Iran would then try to make Iraq more like it, but we will be liked more.  We will economically be in a better position and there would be nothing to complain about.  The Iraqis will be able to defend themselves and it should all be good.

Right now would be the best time to invest in the New Iraqi Dinar. The main reason of course is because the value of the Iraqi Dinar has never been lower. It’s safe to assume that it cannot get any worse and can only become better. \n\nThe reason it can only become better is because Iraq is a war-torn country that happens to be very wealthy. The United States and other western countries are currently investing billions and billions of dollars in Iraq. If our governments are investing in Iraq, then I think it’s a fairly good indication that we should too. Governments are not in the business of giving money away without any kind of return. I believe our governments intend to see Iraq flourish. Once that happens, the Iraqi Dinar can only go up.\n\nCheck out www.TheDinarGroup.com for more information. They have lots of helpful resources and links.

possibly... but there are 2 problems...\n\nA. cost... it would be a multi-billion dollar operation, especially considering how much damage has been done to many of the palaces since the invasion...\n\nB. culture... it's a very conservative culture that probably wouldn't accept the decadent "casino" lifestyle... after the first 20 or so car bombs, not many people would want to go there to gamble, and there isn't enough local riches to support casinos in Iraq right now...

No, there are NO reputable companies selling the Iraqi dinar with the possible exception of a few coin dealers who are trading it as a collectors item and not as a currency. \n\nThe Iraqi dinar has no value outside of Iraq, Jordan, or Kuwait. The price is essentially fixed at 1476 dinars to the US dollar. Since you are using the term 'dodgy' I suspect you may not be American. In the case of other currencies the value fluctuates according the exchange differences between the US dollar and that currency. Presently the pound is 2575 dinars to the pound. \n\nWhy would you want to buy a currency that is likely to end up with a fixed value relative to the US dollar? The value so far has never changed more than 1%. \nIf the dinar ends up tied to the dollar, as many currencies are, then you might as well invest in US dollars, and at least have something that is liquid outside of Baghdad.\n\nIt is unlikely the dinar will be allowed to trade on the free market anytime soon, if ever. I suspect that if it were floated it would drop precipitously similar to the Turkish lira that reached millions of lira to the dollar until recently revalued.\n\nAre you prepared to take a vacation to Baghdad to spend your dinars?\n\nHere is the Bank of Iraq daily currency auction:\nhttp://www.cbiraq.org/cbs6.htm\n\nI trade Forex.

The Iraqi Dinar is definitely a long term investment. It probably won't increase in value until the war in Iraq is over and the economy has rebuilt itself. So even if the war ends 3 years from now, Iraq won't rebuild itself less then 5 years later. I'd say you may see a value increase in 5 years, but nothing significant until 10 years have elapsed. Hope this helps.
