Yes I feel like this is all orchestrated to coincide around the same time, cross border payments, level playing field for currencies etc….. like all resetting at the same time for as seamless of a transition as possible

This is the big story...Iraq is on the move. IMHO. This clearly show economic reform is happening in Iraq right before our very eyes.

Here's an article from Dinarland... It's Before Us...It's Before Us. Treat as a rumor. Not verifed. Your opine. MilitiaMan: It's Before Us ARTICLE: Government agencies, the GOI, the CBI, their delegations - they're all talking to us about exchange rate changes, forewarning...to hold on to (the Dinar) because they're going to be more stronger against the US Dollar. They go from, the Dinar is stronger (to) the Iraq Dinar will rise against the US Dollar in a few weeks...And then he says, soon. And then the other day on the 18th, he says..."Now" We can take all that information to let us believe that change is coming, it's before us. What we are seeing now is phenomenal.

Just thoughts....3rd reading of budget....who knows....so many days allotted for it to be signed...10-15?.....officially posted (gazette).....wed or Friday's only.... As I've said previously....I don't have a great deal of knowledge on the inner workings of Iraq.... Additionally the World is in a hurry for a change to get away from the FIAT currency fiasco.....East/west is colliding for power.... All this is roaring down the tracks......and it's "all connected"..... Seems I've heard that some where? Just my thoughts... CL

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Mnt Goat A government advisor confirmed, on Tuesday, that the parallel market for selling the dollar will witness a new decline during the next ten days and will come closer to the official price, indicating that transfers are currently taking place in an easy and accurate manner, after the agreement with the American side. It is a slow decline but it is happening.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Militia Man Al-Sudani said, 'now'. That is a very key point to where we're headed. He comes back a little bit later and he said the dinar is going to be a little bit stronger. He implies 1.5 times. Be careful how you think about that. Some of the folks out there seem to think that means it's $1.50 but...he's talking about the official exchange rate - 1310 [which equals approximately] .00076336...But when he says 1.5 times that's a totally different equations because currencies are valued by reciprocals...what's 1.5 x .00076336? Turns out to be about .0015405...

Militia Man "he's talking about the official exchange rate - 1310 [which equals approximately] .00076336...But when he says 1.5 times that's a totally different equations because currencies are valued by reciprocals...what's 1.5 x .00076336? Turns out to be about .0015405..." That would equate out to $1540.50/million IQD. So if you paid $1200/mil you will have made a $340 profit (28.33%), and if you paid $1000/mil you made a $540 profit (54%). That would be minus exchange fees and any taxes. In any case that's better than nothing..! Now, if this is actually the case, and they float it from there I believe it will increase in value rather quickly - depending on any IMF restrictions. We shall see soon enough. Blessings - RON

Frank26 I was hoping we'd see the new small category notes this week along with the coins and the new exchange rate but it looks like it's the budget first. Don't be surprised if the budget contains internal surprises. Kaperoni What we have to hope for is that Iraq follows the guidance of the IMF and allows the currency to float and a gradual appreciation over time based on the success and growth of Iraq 's economy.

Dinar in the parallel market increases by 5% since the beginning of the month Al-Eqtisadia News Agency - Dinar value increases in the parallel market by 5% since the beginning of the month (economy-news.net) Dollar and Iraqi Dinar Since the beginning of April, the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar has risen by about 5% in the parallel market. The dollar was sold on the first of April at 150,750 dinars, while today it has dropped to 143,500 dinars, as its value has fallen by 7250,1320 dinars. But the dollar is sold by the central bank at <>,<> dinars to the last beneficiary. The rise in the value of the dinar against the dollar is due to a series of measures taken by the Central Bank, known as the two reform packages that regulated foreign trade by forcing traders to open bank accounts and deal directly with banks, in addition to coordinating trade with China through the Chinese yuan. The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, said earlier this month that the Central Bank is on alert to return the exchange rate of the dollar to normal, because what happened is that the Federal Bank has audited financial transactions in advance while it was previously after the financial transfer from Iraq. He pointed out that now external transfers have doubled, creating a balance between supply and demand, and the new system has begun to work faster than before. 252 Views Added 2023/04/23 - 2:47 PM

RON Sandy Ingram This is Breaking News - Iraq now has a Deposit Insurance Company like the U.S. FDIC. Article: "The Governor of the Central Bank Inaugurates the headquarters of the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company." The company will guarantee the deposits with Iraq banks approved by the Central Bank of Iraq...What will this do is get most of the old Iraqi dinars hidden under mattresses in Iraq, into the banking system. This is a major effort to regulate the number of Iraqi dinars on the open market. Walkingstick With this international float that is being explained now they are proving that they can maintain the + or - 2% compliance. It's working...Really...??? MarkZ In Iraq Article: “Traders complain about poor turnout despite Al Fitr” This year at the end of Ramadan people are cutting back on spending their dinar…of course they are saying its because people are poor and rising costs…but I think there is something bigger than this going on. Especially based on news from the street. I spoke with a couple Iraqi contacts that are on the ground in the country and they are saying the exchange rate officially is about 1300…or one dollar buys 1300 dinar. But, on the street people are refusing to let it go for anything less than 1100-1000. Meaning the dinar is stronger than it is posted right now. The chatter is amazing on the streets over there…they are anticipating that big change and do not want to give up their dinar. Just where did you get this last bit of information from, Mark - it seems to be contrary to everything that has been going on. RON Militia Man Al-Sudani Quote: 'There's great confidence in the Iraqi dinar noting that the exchange rate of the dollar trend to stabilize and reach the official price soon.' They already changed the official price quite some time ago...February 7th. Now they're saying it again...It sounds to me like there's going to be another change...

I like it

A few weeks=Soon=Now=In the coming days=This month=Next month? Let's see what other words that we haven't heard before coming from Iraq?

Hey. It's a start. It has to start somewhere. Let the RV-RI begin.

“Within 10 days, by the end of this month (April), everything will proceed correctly regarding the budget,” Boy…..I do wish I Knew how to make the FONT BIGGER and WITH COLORS!!!!! Use to be able to……can’t any more!! I say this to myself (with conviction) every single day…..and hoping I’m not the only one!!!!!!!!!❣️❣️❣️

I Agree with you CL....June Looks Good....👋

Would adjusting the rate from trillions to billions and increasing purchasing power will this assist in reducing expenditures?

Don't forget to include

Might be a nice start for some but I’m not a whale so it’s hardly worth my time. Just saying, not trying to be a Debbie Downer🤣

I purchased my first 2 million in 2004 at 4,000 to the USD. I should had purchased more if I only had known.

Sorry I messed up…this was quoted from Yota’s comment.

Here's another article related to the above...this article says it all... Kaperoni: IMF Guidance. ARTICLE: What we have hoped for is that Iraq follows the guidance of the IMF & allows the currency to float & a gradual appreciation over time based on the success & growth of the Iraq economy.

Here's article from Dinarland... The Gurus are full of it. Some have stated an in-country RV-RI for the last 10-12 days. Some claim to have seen the new lower denominations...not true. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. WalkingStick: CBI Memo: New Lower Denominations & Coins To Be Introduced Soon. ARTICLE: Bank friend Aki report of a CBI meeting with affiliated banks...You are going to see a tender (memo) that will be posted on the CBI website...The CBI is getting out a tender, a contractual agreement on the printing of the national currency of new small category notes & coins ...They are asking to print more...Because they're going to be needed for the Iraq citizens when they come in & exchange their three zero notes...This tender will include pictures of the new national currency. It will include pictures of the coins. It will introduce the different sizes...denominations, coins & materials used.

The increases in increments will start out slow. There will be a sucker rate to get as many three zero notes off the streets ASAP. At some point shortly after, we will see huge incremental increases. I don't believe it will take years or decades. The Lower denomination & coins wouldn't be worth printing & minting if that were the case. I may be wrong. IMHO.

And, this month means next month 20......?

Happy Eid day! Going to fix me a ham and cheese sandwich! For breakfast and a BLT for lunch! Smoked ham for dinner!! Again happy Eid day to you and your family! JMHO 🤮

april, may or june? start or end? if ts end of june its only 8 weeks away not long at all!

thanks for the articles yota those are some very large numbers of dinar exchanged for usd ,one can only hope the cbi is reducing the note count of iqd in country ,,,,, all the best

For now...anything stronger than 1,200 to the USD. We've been told the IQD will go up in increments, a float, not an overnight RV-RI. IMHO.

Here's another article related to the above...the Gurus are still slinging it...OK Bruce...CBI must be lying... Bruce The Goose: Iraqis Have Exchanged. ARTICLE: We talked about Iraq already doing exchanges of large three zero notes like we have, into lower denomination Dinars at a factor of whatever their hidden rate was. That occurred 14 days ago or two weeks. The ATMs have been loaded with lower Denominations, were active Tuesday morning.

Here's another article related to the above..."That's What They Been Telling Them". MilitiaMan: That's What They Been Telling Them. ARTICLE: It's a fascinating time...Over the last two months we've had some very interesting comments...By the CBI, the Government of Iraq...The Finance Ministry...The Planning Ministry, They've all been talking...Back in March, the CBI reassured Iraqis "Your Dinars are stronger". That's a key point...That's what they been telling them.

OK. Now show us an international rate.

Committee member Mustafa Al-Garaawi said in a statement, "The committee will begin to set a schedule to host the sovereign ministries of finance, oil, defense, and electricity to discuss their expenditure chapters in the budget ." He added, "These ministries include the highest spending compared to the rest of the ministries, and there will be a discussion of the details to find out their real needs and the possibility of reducing and transferring funds within these ministries ." He pointed out that “the budget deficit amounts to 64 trillion out of its total amounting to 199 trillion, and after agreement with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and Planning will be hosted within the Finance Committee to discuss the possibility of reducing the deficit and reducing expenditures in unnecessary chapters in agreement with the government so that the decision does not affect the government program and the provision of services to citizens.” ". He pointed out that "the price of a barrel of oil in the draft Federal General Budget Law 2023 will be discussed with the Ministry of Oil and the concerned authorities to ascertain the extent to which the oil price can be stabilized during the current year and the coming years, given that the volume of revenues depends directly on the price of oil and the quantities exported.
