Wowzer! I follow an Iraqi youtuber who reported today that the dinar is now floating, but he gave no source for the information, so I was skeptical. But then I found the following article just now, so I came here to see what people are saying. Thank you 6l6410 for starting this thread!! Below there are more details about how this new law banning USD will work in Iraq. I think this is fantastic news! If Iraq is successful in de-dollarizing, I would think the IQD will have to start floating with the market and stop being pegged at IQD1310 to US$1 by the CBI. What do other people think? Interesting that this happened Sunday, but reports are just now coming out late Tuesday. I wonder how well this is working so far... I just checked CBI.IQ and the rate today is still 1310. But wow! I think and hope this if finally the start of our long awaited RV! I just read an article a few days ago that Iraq is the 3rd largest producer in the Middle East (including everything, not just oil). Surely their dinar is worth a lot more than the current stated value of .00076 of $1USD. If the de-dollarization is successful, I wonder how fast the IQD will start to rise... USD https://thecradle.co/article-view/24880/iraq-bans-us-dollar-transactions-in-latest-move-towards-de-dollarization Iraq bans US dollar transactions in latest move towards ‘de-dollarization’ The Interior Ministry has said that violators of this ban will be subject to legal punishment, including fines and even jail time The Iraqi government issued a ban on 14 May outlawing the use of the US dollar for both personal and business transactions, coming as part of a growing ‘de-dollarization’ trend and an overall decline in Washington’s economic influence. The ban was enforced on 14 May and aims to boost the use of Iraq’s local currency, the dinar. It is also designed to reduce the gap between the official government exchange rate and the exchange rate offered by the black market, which continues to fluctuate and has resulted in price surges. In a statement, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said: “The dinar is the national currency in Iraq. Your commitment to transact in it instead of foreign currencies boosts the country’s sovereignty and economy.” The ministry added that anyone dealing in currencies other than the local currency would be subject to legal punishment and said that it is committed to “hold accountable anyone who attempts to undermine the Iraqi dinar and the economy.” In order to properly enforce the ban, the Interior Ministry’s Crime Directorate has requested that traders sign agreements assuring the government that they will conduct transactions in local currency only. According to General Hussein Al-Tamimi of the Crime Directorate, violators of these pledges will be forced to pay a fine of one million Iraqi dinars, adding that repeat offenders may be subject to prison time. “If the violator repeats it, he will face an imprisonment penalty of up to one year plus a one-million Iraqi dinar financial fine. In case of a third violation, that penalty will be doubled, and we will have the business license turned,” the official added. US dollars are already scarce in the country’s official markets as a result of recently imposed measures by Washington to control the movement of dollars inside Iraq. While the new government of Mohamed Shia al-Sudani has moved swiftly to contain the financial fallout, these US policies have given rise to a debate inside Iraq about the benefits of de-dollarization. Iraqi MP and member of the Finance Committee in Iraq’s Council of Representatives, Hussein Mouanes, told The Cradle in an exclusive interview earlier this month that “Iraq has been and continues to be a slave to the US dollar … every country’s economic strength depends on the strength of its currency.” “It is clear that Iraq is economically dominated by the US, and our government does not truly control or have access to its own money … We believe that it is crucial to move away from the hegemony of the dollar, especially as it has become a tool to impose sanctions on countries. It is time for Iraq to rely on its local currency,” he added.

Iraq bans US dollar transactions to boost local currency Amr Salem May 16, 2023 Iraq bans US dollar transactions to boost local currency - Iraqi News 2 min 10,000 Iraqi dinar bills. Photo: AFP Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Ministry of Interior imposed a ban on the use of US dollars in personal and commercial transactions in Iraq. According to local reports, the ban, which came into force last Sunday, aims to promote the use of the local currency, the Iraqi dinar, and limit the use of the US dollar in Iraq. The measure is expected to reduce the difference between the official exchange rate offered by the government and the exchange rate in the black market, a difference that has driven up prices. The Iraqi Ministry of Interior mentioned in a statement that the Iraqi dinar is the national currency in Iraq, and the commitment to dealing with local currency enhances the sovereignty and economy of the country. The Interior Ministry also indicated that dealing in currencies other than the Iraqi dinar is punishable by law and that it is committed to holding those trying to undermine the Iraqi currency and the economy accountable. To impose this ban, the Interior Ministry’s Anti-Organized Crime Directorate requested merchants to sign undertakings, affirming that they will conduct their businesses only using Iraqi dinars. Director of operations in the Anti-Organized Crime Directorate, Hussein Al-Tamimi, said that violating merchants will be fined one million Iraqi dinars (about $680). Al-Tamimi added that if the violation is repeated, harsher penalties, including imprisonment, will be applied.

Iraqis banned from dealing in US dollars Government warns of punishments as it tries to control currency crisis that has led to price rises Money changers and customers at a foreign currency exchange market in Baghdad. Reuters Sinan Mahmoud May 15, 2023 The Iraqi Interior Ministry has banned people from dealing in US dollars in the latest move by authorities to control a fluctuating black market exchange rate. The surprise announcement on Sunday reflects an attempt to close the gap between the official exchange rate and that on the black market, which has fuelled high prices and caused anger. “The dinar is the national currency in Iraq,” the ministry said. “Your commitment to transact in it instead of foreign currencies boosts the country’s sovereignty and economy.” It said dealing in other currencies “is a violation that is punishable by law” and threatened to “hold accountable anyone who attempts to undermine the Iraqi dinar and the economy”. The Interior Ministry's Anti-organised Crime Directorate has sent its forces to markets across Baghdad and other cities, asking traders to sign a pledge to sell goods only in dinar, Brig Gen Hussein Al Tamimi told The National. “The widespread campaign aims at protecting the dinar,” said Mr Al Tamimi who heads the directorate's operations department. He said representatives from the Central Bank of Iraq and the Interior Ministry's intelligence department joined the patrols. Those who breach the pledge will face a fine of one million Iraqi dinar (around $680), he added. “If the violator repeats it he will face an imprisonment penalty of up to one year plus the one-million Iraqi dinar financial fine,” he added. “In case of a third violation, that penalty will be doubled and we will have the business licence turned.” Market dealings in the dollar went underground on Monday and exchange offices, fearing arrest by undercover agents, were selling dollars only to trusted clients, at the black market rate. The Gulf War in 1991, followed by harsh UN-imposed economic sanctions and the US-led invasion in 2003, caused a substantial devaluation of the Iraqi dinar. As a result, Iraqis have turned to the US dollar. A wide range of dealings, from wholesale trading to retail purchases, are settled with it. During the past six months, the Iraqi government has been attempting to stop a currency crisis that has led to an increase in the prices of goods, and brought protesters out on to the streets. Since later November, the Iraqi dinar has experienced added volatility after the US's tightening of procedures for international transfers, with some blaming Washington for the dinar's problems. The US has complained that the dollar is being funnelled to Iran, Syria and Lebanon through the foreign currency auction run by the Central Bank of Iraq. Iran and Syrian are under US sanctions. Since then, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has applied strict measures on requests for international transactions from Iraq, rejecting many and delaying others, leading to an increased demand for the US dollar in Iraq. It has also blacklisted several Iraqi banks suspected of money laundering and of carrying out suspicious transactions. Baghdad-resident Mohammed Hassan Jaafar wants to buy a house and says he is uncertain what to do, as the estate agent wants to be paid in dollars. “For decades, everything here is pegged to the dollar and there are things, such as properties or cars, the owners ask to be paid in dollars in order to be on the safe side in terms of inflation or to have less banknotes in hand in comparison to the amount of money they get in dinars,” said Mr Jaafar, 55. “There are people, like me, who don't meet the criteria set by the Central Bank to buy dollars at the official rate so we go to exchange offices to buy at the black market rate,” he added, referring to the CBI measures to sell dollars to merchants for importing goods or to people who were travelling abroad. The Iraqi government blames the US for the dollar chaos. It has taken a series of unsuccessful measures to contain the public's anger. Security forces raided Baghdad's biggest markets for the US dollar and arrested several traders, accusing them of manipulating the prices. While the official exchange rate is fixed at 1,300 dinars against the dollar, the currency was trading at about 1,470 on the black market on Sunday.https://www-thenationalnews-https://www-thenationalnews-

The CBI and the Prime Minister continues complaining about the dollar price and the black market. As long as the dollar is stronger than the Iraqi dinar, people will continue using the dollar and the black market. REMOVE EXCHANGE CONTROL

“The Central Bank is currently working on a new monetary issue, which is the disaster because the increases that occurred in 2012-2022 and now in the 2023 budget, the volume of monetary issuance of the Iraqi dinar will reach 150 trillion dinars and it has no place now to contain it, and therefore a recycling process must be carried out for the dollar to avoid the problem of inflation." Unless, the new monetary issue is the Lower Denomination notes. Go CBI Go new monetary policy Go Stronger dinar $1+ Go Lower denomination notes Go purchasing power

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 Pimpy Article: "Kurdistan in Baghdad's footsteps: Demands to use the dinar exclusively in the real estate and car market" This is a big move. If you want to boost the confidence and value of your currency you really have to get out of the habit of using dual currencies. We know over in Iraq they use Iraqi dinar as well as the U.S. dollar. People trust the U.S. dollar more than Iraqi dinar. If you take that option away from them and force them to start using the dinar it will strengthen the dinar especially in the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. How does that work? [Post 1 of 2] Pimpy If you're in the country and people prefer the US dollar they're willing to give up more Iraqi dinar to have the U.S. dollar. That's why there's a black market out there. That weakens the dinar. If you restrict the use of U.S. dollars then that means the demand for US dollars will decline and the demand for dinars will increase. This will give the value more to the Iraq dinar...I would love to see Iraq take the same approach that Russia has which is demanded everybody use Iraqi dinar to make purchases. This will seriously strengthen Iraqi dinar...[Post 2 of 2] Militia Man Why are they hiding the vote?

US newspaper: Washington "loses" its influence in Iraq because of the dollar Politics / Economy | Today, 22:49 | US newspaper: Washington "loses" its influence in Iraq because of the dollar » Baghdad News Agency Today (baghdadtoday.news) Baghdad Today - Baghdad The American newspaper (The Craydell) announced in a report published on Tuesday that Washington is "losing" influence over the Iraqi authorities as a result of measures currently being taken against the use of the dollar inside the country, which it said the United States uses as a "tool of political pressure." The newspaper explained, according to what was translated (Baghdad Today), that the Iraqi government, after taking a decision to prevent the circulation of the dollar locally on the fourteenth of this month, directly weakened "the control of the United States on the Iraqi political situation" as a result of the policy of "grabbing the dollar" pursued now, as described. "The US administration uses the dollar as a means of political pressure, which has reflected on the Iraqi economic situation significantly, especially during the past few years as a result of the restrictions imposed by Washington on Iraq's access to its treasury of dollars," she said. She added, "The Iraqi government moved quickly towards measures that reduce its dependence on the dollar towards extracting it completely from the Iraqi economy to maintain stable internal conditions at least," as she described. It is noteworthy that MP Hussein Munis told the newspaper that the Iraqi economy "is enslaved by the United States through the dollar," which forces Iraqi legislators to go to reduce the circulation of the dollar in the Iraqi market to get rid of Washington's "influence" on the economy, as he described.

Here's an article from Dinarland... Why The US Needs This RV & needs a gold standard. Long read but it's worth the time. China Yuan is now the global dominant currency. Without much FanFair or celebration...China is quiet. Will The RV also go quietly without celebration? Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Simon Black: The Dollar’s International Decline Is Becoming Really Obvious. ARTICLE: On the morning of February 23, 1944, FDR sent an important telegram to two of his key allies overseas. UK PM Winston Churchill & Joseph Stalin of Russia. World War II was still raging while the allies had seized the upper hand, peace was more than a year away. Surprisingly, though, Roosevelt didn’t write to his allies to discuss the war. He was already thinking about what the world would look like after the war was over & in the telegram, Roosevelt invited them to participate in a conference on “postwar economic collaboration”. The US was already the largest & most powerful economy in the world. America was the only major power that hadn’t been devastated by war. Most importantly, the US was so rich that they were the world’s primary creditor. Britain, in fact, was heavily in debt to the US & at the time was actually negotiating to borrow even more money. So Churchill couldn’t exactly refuse Roosevelt’s invitation. 44 allied nations ultimately attended what would become known as the Bretton Woods Conference that took place in July 1944. This event famously established a new, post-war monetary system in which the US & US Dollar became the epicenter of global commerce & finance. What a lot of people don’t know is that a sort of ‘pre-conference’ took place the month before, in June 1944, in Atlantic City. That site was chosen specifically for its cooler weather. British economist John Maynard Keynes suffered from a terrible infection in his heart valves & hot weather made him feel much worse. Keynes even pleaded to senior Treasury official Harry Dexter White, “For God’s sake do not take us to Washington ” where the weather was sweltering in the summer. In the end they settled on Atlantic City, specifically for Keynes’s health & the first meeting to shape the new global financial system even took place on the beach! Despite the balmy setting, however, Keynes was a thorn in the side of the American delegation; he was adamantly opposed to a post-war economic system in which the US Dollar had total dominance. As an alternative solution, Keynes advocated for competing reserve currencies as well as a special central bank reserve currency that he wanted to call the ‘Bancor’. In the end, though, Keynes was overruled. The US was the only country capable of calling the shots & the rest of the world accepted America’s new dominance. It’s been this way for the past 80 years. Even today, the US Dollar continues to be used for the majority of cross border trade, foreign reserves & international financial transactions. But as I have written many times before, this status is not written in stone. It’s beginning to change very rapidly. One very recent development is that, in China, the Yuan just overtook the US Dollar as the most widely used currency for international trade. China has essentially been the manufacturer to the world for decades & does business with nearly every country on the planet. Yet, up until last month, most of China’s trade was conducted in US Dollars. If a Chinese manufacturer sold machinery to a Brazilian company, for example, or if a Chinese producer bought cobalt from Indonesia, those transactions traditionally took place in US Dollars. Over time, however, China has been gradually using its own currency for trade. Other countries have been happy to go along. So now, for example, China might buy cobalt from Indonesia using Yuan instead of US Dollars.

Al-Rafidain directs the collection of customs taxes and duties in Iraqi dinars Economy | Today, 21:50 | Al-Rafidain directs the collection of customs taxes and fees in Iraqi dinars » Baghdad Today News Agency Baghdad Today - Baghdad Rafidain Bank announced today, Tuesday, the collection of customs taxes and fees in Iraqi dinars.

" The bank added that it "decided to receive the stamp duty in Iraqi dinars, in support of the national economy and the strengthening of the Iraqi dinar currency."

Qatari businessmen offer Al-Sudani "strategic partnerships" with the Iraqi private sector EconomyIraqQatar 2023-05-16 // 03:51 Shafaq News / The Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani affirmed, on Tuesday, his government's seriousness in achieving an economic renaissance that enhances the path of development in the country, while members of a delegation of Qatari businessmen expressed their willingness to work in Iraq and find strategic partnerships with the private sector in Iraq. This came during Al-Sudani's reception, this morning, of a delegation of businessmen and investors from the sisterly State of Qatar, headed by Sheikh Nawaf bin Nasser Al-Thani, according to a statement, reported to Shafaq News Agency. And the statement of Al-Sudani’s office conveyed his affirmation during the meeting of Iraq’s economic openness to its regional and international surroundings, and the serious work to establish constructive partnerships in the field of investment, in light of the available economic opportunities launched by the government, especially in the field of renewable energy, and the optimal investment of associated gas and petrochemicals. Al-Sudani also referred to the many measures taken by the government since the beginning of its formation, in order to provide an appropriate and attractive investment environment, whether for the local investor or for investors from outside Iraq, stressing the government's seriousness in achieving an economic renaissance that enhances the development path in the country. For his part, the head of the Qatari businessmen delegation, Sheikh Nawaf bin Nasser Al Thani, expressed his gratitude for meeting the Prime Minister, and the government's keenness to cooperate with major Qatari companies. It has become a spacious environment for investment. https://shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/رجال-اعمال-قطريين-يعرضون-على-السوداني-شراكات-استراتيجية-مع-القطاع-الخاص-في-العراق

Agree. The process was only sped up in the last three years. The Petrodollar collapse & US deficit has a lot to do with it.

Absolutely. The US is exporting it's inflation all around the world. OBiden's blinded policies don't only hurt the US.

Biden's idiocy aside... The federal reserve dropping the reserve requirements on U.S. banks to 0% on March 26th 2020 and the corresponding inflation probably has an influence as well. Because of the USD being a globally used currency, inflation rises just as fast or even faster than in the U.S. itself, which could be another reason why countries are ditching the USD.

Here's another article related to above... Luigi's view... Oh me oh my...what to do?

An advocacy group in Alberta, Canada, is trying to educate residents of the province about what it argues would be the benefits of breaking off from the country to join the U.S. as its 51st state. "I find myself having an affinity toward the U.S. more than Canada because of the freedom, Constitution & just the entire republican system versus the monarchy here, which is really a pseudonym for dictatorship," a source with the Alberta 51 Project told Fox News Digital.
