So, we learned that the correspondent bank transfer process started last year is working. Remember this was a huge move for the CBI in paying for imports.

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 8-21-2025 Sandy Ingram The government in Vietnam likes to keep things stable. They control the currency very carefully. While the country is a great story, don't expect the dong to suddenly shoot to the moon. It's a long-term play, not a get-rich-quick scheme. Then you have the Iraqi dinar. Could the dinar get much stronger? Yes, it's possible. Iraq has a ton of oil and that's a huge advantage. If the country can keep its politics stable and build its economy, the dinar could be revalued. But it's a big gamble. The situation in Iraq is very complicated and uncertain. 8-21-2025 Paulette [Response to Clare's 8-20-2025 Trump quote article andJeff's 8-20-2025 Trump Interview video post] I believe based on relatively recent articles, the amount is now 37 billion - this is the DFI Fund. 8-21-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: We think the rate will show in September because the elections will be in October. Sudani can give us a new rate right before the elections and we will vote for him. This will be a brilliant move for him. 8-21-2025 Walkingstick Question: "You pointed out that it used to be 183 trillion [dinars in circulation] two years ago, last year it was 100 trillion but right about now where do you think the 3-zero notes are out there inside of Iraq?" IOO we believe they are somewhere around 30 to 40 trillion dinars which can be done in '26, '27, '28. It's an ongoing process. America still have 3-zero notes that have not even been considered null and void yet. We came out with these in the 50s when our economy exploded. We got rid of 3-zero notes ourselves although we didn't cancel them. There is still a 500 note, a $1,000 note. It's not in circulation. 8-21-2025 Mnt Goat Today there is cause to celebrate but also to caution us investors. We must remember that there are political motives behind the scenes working within Iraq but also at the same time, the Central Bank keeps moving ahead with the financial reforms and its goals of financial freedom for Iraq. It is a growth process for Iraq both politically and economically. To hit the world stage again is an uphill battle but I am confident that Iraq is meeting the challenge and will soon emerge as a financial giant. 8-21-2025 Pimpy Trump Interview Quote: "We have $35 billion of their money right now sitting in an account." He didn't say "the Iraqi dinar". He said of "their money". What he's talking about is when Iraq sells oil, the money doesn't go to Iraq, it comes to us and we put it in this account. That's the money he's talking about. We have $35 billion of their money. Not the Iraqi dinar. He didn't say we're invested in the Iraqi dinar. He doesn't say we bought 35 billion of their dinars. He didn't say anything like that. I don't know why people use that video as a way to prove we have 35 billion Iraqi dinars. We don't. [See Trump's interview video below...Jeff 8-20-2025] 8-21-2025 Militia Man Global integration into the international financial system is taking place. When is that going to be physically done? We're going to have to wait and see. That's...the powers-that-be's job in conjunction with the central bank and the finance ministry. Let's watch and see what happens. 8-21-2025 Fnu Lnu It is my opinion that if an RV is to occur, then ALL Iranian loyalists must be purged from the government and banking sector permanently, otherwise, we will see no RV any time soon. 8-21-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr. Sammy's friend [an economic advisor for years] says...The three zeros will not come off the currency...the three zeros is coming off the rate. FRANk: They're giving you the definition of the explanation so you don't have to be fearful. It's not coming off of the currency. It's coming off the exchange rate...I've known all along it won't be a lop. 8-21-2025 MarkZ Article: “Baghdad and Erbil on the threshold of a historic agreement: Oil, Salaries and Non-oil revenues nearing conclusion” There were some real breakthroughs [Tuesday]. I guess my Iraqi sources were correct on Monday when they told me to expect a big Tuesday. They are working on mechanisms and even working on a budgetary change to facilitate the HCL law and oil coming out of the Erbil region. 8-20-2025 Frank26 Trump gave them until the 31st to fix their monetary reform policies, process...If not, they're going to liquidate. They're going to disintegrate a lot of the banks in Iraq. Trump ain't playing...That's why we see what Trump is doing with many currencies around the world. You talk about the lynch pin. You talk about the first domino. I sincerely think it's the Iraqi dinar.

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 8-14-2025 Clare Article: "The Iraqi government denies allegations of its intention to devalue the dinar against the dollar" Quote: "Saleh said Iraq's exchange rate policy is a contractual one between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Iraq, given that the reserves supporting the Iraqi dinar reinforce the external value of the currency." This means that the dinar, backed by foreign currency, comes from oil revenues. He considered the policy of devaluing the dinar to be dangerous and not easy, while the state is constantly working to raise and improve the value of the dinar, not to devalue it. 8-14-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: More nasty rumors by Iranian-backed politicians. They're saying Iraq is going to devalue the dinar to the dollar. Saleh is saying this is not true. FRANK: If they're telling you your currency is going to be devalued, then you can be rest assured...guaranteed. You can have great confidence that it is the complete opposite. They're going to add value. Exactly what they said two days ago. That's what Iranian influence does in your country. 8-14-2025 Yada Different circumstance with Vietnam than with Iraq. Vietnam economy was suppress with China controlling it. Iraq was suppressed under dictatorships but now they are the answer to the international community...they cannot stay at 1310 to 1 dollar and do all of they plan on doing for the Middle East.

RON 8-13-2025 Walkingstick Trump is pushing the monetary reform. He's using Wyman and Rubio to push it. These are the people in Trumps circle. There's a reason why [Iraq] hired the American consulting firm because Trump wanted it because that's going to push the monetary reform. They are there now and said we want to talk to you about the monetary reform. Trump has been pushing for this monetary reform for a long time. That consulting firm is not by chance. Wyman is representing the United States. This is happening for the monetary reform. 8-13-2025 Militia Man Article: "The Central Bank launches the security clearance platform." Inflation trends are low, under 3%, banking reforms and the Oliver Wyman deadline slated for August 31st for private banks suggest all of this together looks to be the groundwork that is being laid for an expected currency redenomination (fitting with the "deletion of the zeros" project). This looks like...the Security Permits Platform (SPP) for cash handling is part of preparations for such a project, especially to manage the expected influx of cash into the system post-redonimation.

RON 8-12-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani came back on television and he said the banking reforms will raise the value of the Iraqi dinar. FRANK: Last year he said before the end of the year your currency will have purchasing power and it will have value added to it. It didn't happen...Then in January of this year, who became president? All we needed was a new president. 8-12-2025 Pimpy The thing that makes me nervous is crude oil $66.82 per barrel. I'm a little nervous about that. We got to remember it's got to be around $84 per barrel. Hopefully things will rebound for them. 8-12-2025 Samson Article: "The US State Department: Sanctions are likely to be imposed on Iraq if the Popular Mobilization Forces law is enacted." '8-12-2025 Militia Man You're going to have to disclose data and that data is going to be scrutinized.

Banks are going to be checking that. You were making $10, $20, $30, $40, $100 bucks an hour then all of a sudden you've got a lot of money? They're going to be skeptical and want to know why. Be prepared for that. It's just the way it is. 8-12-2025 Walkingstick Sudani, Saleh and Alaq are the only ones we want to hear from concerning the monetary reform because these are the three that are shoulder to shoulder on monetary reform. Their actions have supported and proven this to be true. There are no secrets in the monetary reform. There is a very big push not just from Trump but from the international community to cut Iran out of the monetary reform process of Iraq. 8-12-2025 Frank26 Firefly, don't you love it when you see Iran influence in your country be squashed by giving them a bloody nose? Of course they're angry. They don't have the power they used to have to steal your money from the CBI. They can't steal it from contracts...your businesses in the black market. They are beyond angry. They are not invited to the party of your monetary reform. That's why you have security and stability that we needed. The new exchange rate is here. The flag has been planted. Watch what happens by the end of this month with President Trump.

RON 8-11-2025 Militia Man International investors are liking what they see in Sudani. He's doing what they expect him to do and that is to fight corruption. He's openly, vocally doing it in public. The foreign investors, those big names that are coming September 6th and 7th are going to be happy about that. I'm happy and I hope you're happy. 8-11-2025 Clare Article: "Sudanese advisor: White noise supports exchange rate stability in the Iraqi market" Quote: "The parallel exchange market is now moving toward convergence with the official fixed rate, which is considered one of the strongest stages of stability in the monetary market, as a result of the success of the three pillars of economic policy." 8-11-2025 Frank26 Everything Donald Trump requested from Iraqi banks can be seen in...articles. Your new exchange rate is about to be given to you Iraqi citizens. Regardless of what's going on in Kurdistan, regardless of the remaining cockroaches from Iran, regardless of Maliki trying to be a bully...you have security and stability. The head of the snake was not chopped off by Trump. It was bitten off by Trump. 8-11-2025 MarkZ I think Iraq is waiting on the bonds and the reset to be finished. Not much else makes sense when we look at the news. There have been some interesting developments that do not make sense unless a change is happening. ..... There is a lot of interesting events and curious timing right now…but remember no one knows the exact timing of the RV/reset. 8-11-2025 Walkingstick [Iraqi banking friend Aki update] The Iranian influence inside of the parliament and the GOI is severely weakened. They are in a state of depression. This mobilization law of parliament is no concern. Iraq will now protect the USD and not allow Iran to abuse it. This law is of no concern to me in the monetary process.

The CBI is modernizing society. The reinstatement could have happened without these projects, as we know of the 2012-2013 attempt by Dr Shabibi. However, these projects would also enhance the opportunity for accession to the World Trade Organization and further advance Iraq...they show the WTO that Iraq is serious about their future trading partners and how they can better work with them.

The language goes as follows; The central government distributes remaining oil revenues throughout the nation on a per capita basis. Iraq's constitution allows governorates to form a semi-independent regions, fully controlling their own natural resources." Discussion continually arises on the subject of the HCL (Hydro-Carbon Law) and debate surrounds the issue of the PSA's. The central government distributes remaining oil revenues throughout the nation on a per capita basis, meaning, per person or by head count. [Post 1 of 2] 8-10-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: We see the evidence of what the United States is doing right now in Iraq. We saw the evidence of the reforms, but now we see the evidence of your president. He seems to be involved in the things that are being done here in Iraq. 8-10-2025 MarkZ There is a big clean up going on in Iraq. ARTICLE: “Sudani announces the dismissal of 41 directors general and the referral of 4 ministers to the judiciary” These are people in government positions hired to do jobs that they were not doing. Money was disappearing and there was incompetence and corruption. Sudani is cleaning house…and the timing is pretty important here. There is a mass push from Kurdistan and the government to clean it all up right now. Possibly (I hypothesize) before the reset. There is a sudden concern to clean up every single piece. There are many solid rumors that they just destroyed 62 trillion dinar. And there is a shut down and control of all financial borders that has happened this past week. This is all exciting in my book. 8-10-2025 Mnt Goat ...we must remember that in the midst of the political issues facing Iraq the Central Bank is continuing to move ahead and further its preparation for working yet even more closely with the global financial arena.

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 8-9-2025 Fnu Lnu Article: "The Ministerial Council for the Economy has approved a proposal by the Ministry of Trade to establish a 'Global Gold City' in Baghdad" Iraq is still working on expanding domestic non-oil revenue streams and this idea mirrors that of India who has been quite successful with it. 8-9-2025 Militia Man Iraq has all the natural resources. They have what's called inputs and outputs. They're going to make money coming and going. That's the way it works. Iraq is very fortunate to have her natural resources to be able to pull this off. The world knows that, especially the stakeholders who have been doing this for over 20 years. You've not seeing anybody back off and say, we're not investing in Iraq. 8-9-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Speaker of the House of Parliament and international experts discussed the importance of the digital currency...He was talking about how Iraq is all in on this and making the investment of Iraq ready for global and international markets. FRANK: Yeah, the whole world is waiting...Tell that idiot all we need is a new exchange rate. 8-9-2025 Mnt Goat Substantial increase in the IQD will not happen until the currency of Iraq is once again traded on FOREX and the other global currency exchanges. This is an event that will be a culmination of decades of monetary reforms, events that we have witnessed. This event of reinstatement is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN unless the US Treasury gives its approval. One of these conditions is to remove the... Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law, which empowers armed groups linked to Iran and terrorist organizations from Iraq...This condition is a critical order from the US to Iraq. I believe all us investors in the IQD should be paying lots of attention to what is going on in this area... I assure you this topic is going to be resolved one way or the other, meaning Iraq will remove the PMF from Iraq or it will suffer severe sanctions and reprimands of all sorts.-

Sudani and the COM have already passed the PMF Law and are wanting it before Parliament for passage" NOT TRUE....THE LAW HAS NOT BEEN PASSED. 8-7-2025 MarkZ Question: Are they blaming Sudani for no RV? They are definitely trying to deflect the RV not happening on Sudani. But myself and all my contacts call BS on that. Sudani said early on that during this term he would return the dinar to its former glory. Make the dinar the father of the dollar. (More valuable than the dollar) 8-7-2025 Samson Article: "The Ministry of Transport announces the return of seven international airlines to Iraqi airspace" 8-7-2025 Pimpy One of the things that's going to help the Iraqi dinar increase in value is it has to lower its unemployment rate. That fact that they cut it in half in just 4 years is not too bad, but still 10.8% is pretty high. 8-7-2025 Frank26 Every day somebody is arrested. Every day money is being brought back. Every day security and stability gets louder and stronger for your new exchange rate to come out safely.

The US is now working towards a complete financial overall. We will see some amazing, almost unbelievable, things begin to happen. We will see the Gold standard again and the US fiat dollar will be crushed. This is when and only when, Iraq will get off the sole peg and to a new basket of weighted currencies for their new peg. Then comes the reinstatement. So, you see it all interconnected and there is a plan in motion. We have to all just give it a bit of time and let it progress. 8-8-2025 MarkZ In Iraq ARTICLE: “Parliamentarian: the last legislative term requires the passage of stalled laws” There is a massive push to finish things before Sudani’s term ends. Remember- Sudani has made great promises for this term. One of the reasons for this push is there is a 4-5 day pilgrimage coming up. The second largest pilgrimage in the Islamic world...It begins August 14th. Lawmakers say there will be a short break during that time…so there is a push to get all this legislation finished. Including Oil and Gas laws and the Popular mobilization law. They are trying to hurry up and finish because of this pilgrimage.

It's based on your receipt and how long you have held your dinars...Do you have your receipt? 'No, I lost it.' You're probably going to be in the 40% tax range. Do you have your receipt? 'Yes.' Have you held for more than a year? 'No. 6 months.' You'll probably in in the 40%...Have receipt? 'Yes.' Held longer than 1 year? 'Yes.' You'll probably be in the 20%. [Note: Some gurus feel the dinar will be taxed as capital gains as above. Other gurus feel, ordinary income. Ultimately, only the IRS' opinion matters. At the appropriate time consult your tax experts to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances.] 8-4-2025 MarkZ Question: Based on what you feel do you think August is likely or closer to the November elections because Sudani said before the end of his term? Mark: I believe Iraq is ready to go …and has been ready for some time now. 8-4-2025 Fnu Lnu Iraq sells oil under the aegis of OPEC. All that trade is done in dollars. Receipts are deposited in the New York Federal Reserve (IN DOLLARS). Banks and ATM's are stocked with dollars and an exchange protocol has been developed. The REER is 1300 to 1 USD. (unchanged for 2 years and expected to remain for 2026.) Bank reforms are NOT completed. Digitization is NOT completed. Wild stories and foolish expectations still abound. These are the facts... like them or not. 8-4-2025 Militia Man Article: "The mechanism for selling dollars through the official platform has contributed to controlling currency prices." The new mechanism has been a challenge for Iraq to wean itself off the dollar auction and for the Central Bank of Iraq to detach from that process and get back to doing what a Central Banks is designed to do. That is be a bank for banks and not the general public that has been the case for over 20 years. The process to get banks...off the dollar auction bottle...has not been easy and many banks have yet to cut the cord. Those that haven't done so are likely already starting to feel the pain. 8-4-2025 Pimpy I think you're gonna see it as soon as their...central bank digital currency is set up. Understand...that's fine in Iraq. That doesn't mean we have to have the CBDC. We just take our currency in and exchange it...You probably don't want to jump on the first thing they offer you because...even if they delete the zeros...then we're already starting off with $0.76 per dinar. I would not jump on that. Me, I'm going to sit back and wait because my anticipation is it's going to go up...I'm not trying to mislead but it has the potential to go back where it was at, $3.00 per dinar. Then you're going to see me running into the bank.

RON 8-4-2025 Mnt Goat Article: “PAYMENT OF DUES IN BLACK OIL AND TIGHTENING CONTROLS AT PORTS ARE THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE DOLLAR’S DECLINE.” They have collectively created an economic environment that has contributed to strengthening the dinar’s value. Is this not what we wanted to see..?

RON 7-31-2025 Clare Article: "Al-Ahly of Iraq signs a strategic agreement with the Ministry of Finance to activate the sovereign guarantees program." Quote: "This agreement aims to enable Iraqi banks to contribute to providing long-term credit facilities for national projects, through guarantees. This will help reduce financing risks and encourage the private sector and local and international investors to enter the Iraqi market with greater confidence. This step aims to diversify sources of income, boost non-oil revenues, and enable the banking sector to play a greater role in supporting sustainable development and achieving the national economic vision." 7-31-2025 Walkingstick [Iraqi banking friend Aki update] WALKINGSTICK: Question: "Why the delay? Why in the world has it taken so long this year?" AKI: Many of the politics in our country. You can also say it's part of our economic issues but those can be resolved with the new exchange rate. It's mainly the political side because our Prime Minister want it to be kept silent. He says he wants to keep the exchange rate secret because he's trying to keep it away from parliament. 7-31-2025 Frank26 Question: "The rate exposed after lockout, will that be just for Iraqi citizens on Forex?" No, the whole world will see it instantly. The moment the CBI releases it, everybody will.

RON 7-31-2025 Guru Fnu Lnu We are nowhere near an RV but I believe we will see it one day soon. 7-31-2025 Militia Man Iraq has increased its non - oil revenues from 7% to 12% from 2023 to 2024 and expected to reach 20% by 2026. That may be shy of what we see, as there has been significant increases in the ASYCUDA world system that rose 215% between January 2024 through May 2024 over 2023. Iraq is on the way to reduce oil dependency. There is becoming more and more production of natural gas, expansion of agriculture and minerals that are playing a role in reducing the heavily weighted oil economy. 7-31-2025 Pimpy There is a push to go ahead and make the Iraqi dinar a free floating currency. This is good news because you cannot be on a Forex unless it's floating...However significant reservations exist regarding a full float. It does rely too much on oil. That's one of the issues that's really holding up the Iraqi dinar revaluation. 7-31-2025 Clare Article: "Washington hands Baghdad a sanctions list that includes K-Card and prominent figures." Quote: "New list of sanctions...is a direct warning to the Iraqi government regarding its continued dealings with entities that Washington considers to be involved in illegal activities, placing Baghdad before difficult choices between protecting its financial and economic interests and complying with international pressures and directives" 7-31-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Saleh is on TV saying Iraq is in a stable and safe finical situation. Regardless of what you're seeing around us...even all that's going on outside of our borders we have stability. FRANK: Security and stability was born...now let it walk.

RON 7-28-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr. Sammy says that picture [of Asraflak billboards around Baghdad] is talking about money service and the exchange opportunities that we'll be having. FRANK: They're teaching you during the Asraflak education how to exchange money. Why? Because you're about to exchange your 3 zero notes into lower notes. They're teaching you about internal actions for you as Iraq citizens with your banks. I will be exchanging outside for a profit. You will be exchanging inside for purchasing power. The timing is perfect. I'm very happy to see the pace we're seeing now. 7-28-2025 Clare Article: "A government source denied via "Baghdad Today" that Washington had rejected al-Sudani's visit: No meeting was originally requested." Quote: "The talk about US President Donald Trump's administration rejecting Al-Sudani's visit is completely inaccurate, and no official request has been submitted from Iraq to visit Washington during the recent period." 7-28-2025 Walkingstick They are aware of the threat of the sanctions as are all investors...AMF, the IMF, the EMF and many others. There is a lot of heat on the GOI. There's a lot on the line. Threats of pulling all American investors are in play. All encompassing their continued use of the American dollar...not standing on their own. Donald Trump is demanding they utilize their currency on a global scale...Stop all the restrictions and any use of the USD, and all smuggling to Iran.

RON 7-28-2025 Jeff I want to bring forward some old information forward...I think this is very important...Shabibi is the founding father of this whole investment. He was put in place by Bush Jr...One of the things he said clear back in 2011...Iraq should...reduce inflation to no more than 2%. Right now their inflation is at 1.5% so that's in range. It says, reduce the note count. They already have. They've got most of the citizens into the banks to get them to transition to debit cards...Monitor the parallel rate. That's the big one... 'Establish a close match between the parallel market rate and the CBI official rate of the dollar +/- 2%'. Right now they are within 4% to 5%...It could hit within that 2% threshold...by the end of August. 7-28-2025 Clare Article: "Iraq's economy between alleged stability and real risks" Quote: "..the government program...continues on a path described by officials and analysts as 'steady and balanced,'...the ban on dollar trading in the domestic market and the shift to trade financing through international banks, have curbed some phenomena, but they have not completely eradicated the black market. Prices continue to fluctuate, raising questions....Given this mixed picture of relative success and real threats, the question remains: Are we experiencing true stability or a potentially explosive economic bubble? Does Iraq have a clear vision for transitioning from 'reactive management' to comprehensive strategic planning? Only time will tell." 7-28-2025 Frank26 Community comment: "It's simple. They change their rate and play fair or face tariffs and sanctions. The end." Frank: Yeah that's it. And if Sudani doesn't want to do what he's supposed to do, trust me, Trump has already shut down the auctions. Trump has already removed the dollar. Trump has already fined them...I don't know if he's put sanctions. I think he did. I'm pissed at the pace of this reinstatement but I know what Trump is doing.

RON 7-25-2025 Fnu Lnu With an unstable digital transformation and now this early political dysfunction, we may be in for a contentious election season which has now arrived.

It's aiming to transform Baghdad and the rest of the country into a jewelry hub of the region and possibly the world. It's a trade hub. That's what they're doing...Their ancient history is coming back around. That's what they're going to be working on...I think it's going to be a big deal... Gold is money. They've known about it for thousands of years.
