My bank makes markets in Iraqi bonds that mature in 2028 (dollar denominated). I haven't checked them recently, but over the summer they were trading at a lower implied default probablity than Ecuadorian bonds. Frankly, I was shocked. I'll try to remember to check how they're trading tomorrow. |

The Iraqi Dinar has been going up although I'm not sure what that means since it is not traded on the world market. One dollar will still buy you about 1,440 of them so it is nothing to write home about. |
