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 2-3-2025 Fnu Lnu The Dinar is now getting International attention. I was just on a conference call with a very small group of arbitrage experts based in Singapore. Imagine my surprise when the call mentioned Dinar and the second part of the call was about the Dinar. The good news? The moderator said the RV was completed, which many of us have believed but couldn't prove. The final steps of the RV are contingent upon the completion of the "Financial Integrity and Cross-Border Payments" training program. [Post 1 of 3] 2-3-2025 Fnu Lnu The "Institute for Financial Integrity" (IFI) based in Washington DC, has announced an initiative aimed at enhancing Iraq's banking systems...in collaboration with the CBI and K2 Integrity, will provide training to the NBI (National Bank of Iraq). This will be a huge boost for the banking sector, provide essential training, and drive value. This training is vital to insure to the investing world, that Iraq is up to International standards. Though the RV is completed, this last important step is what is causing, what we perceive, as a delay. It is no delay at all. It is about how to distribute the funding. This also signals that we are now so close you can just smell the greenbacks as they are distributed, cross borders, to eagerly awaiting American Dinar investors. [Post 2 of 3] 2-3-2025 Fnu Lnu This call was so information dense that I will have to listen to it several more times to digest all of the content. The function of revaluing the currency is completed. The rate is decided. All the numbers are calculated. What is left to do is to be trained on the physical task of properly distributing it. Crossing the T's and dotting the I's...We are so close now it is crazy. This training can be done in a matter of days. This is why the UST and others are in Iraq right now. This is all brand new ground and you are on the inside of this knowledge. [Post 3 of 3] 2-3-2025 MarkZ We were told after the HCL was complete – to expect the RV in a matter of days. A big roadblock to HCL was removed yesterday. Enormous things happened over the weekend. Many expected the RV rate to be there this morning…but I thought that was a little premature. Stay calm everyone. 2-3-2025 Frank26 It's amazing...every time they release information, it simply points at a new exchange rate. It's getting closer and closer with each announcement. 2-3-2025 Clare Question: "Should I be celebrating this step [passing the 1st amendment to the general budget law for 2023-2025] or be frustrated? My simple mind wants to know" THIS IS A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IMO. IT IS WHAT SUDANI WANTED AND HE MADE SURE IT HAPPENED TODAY! (THAT'S WHY HE HAD THOSE MEETINGS FRIDAY NIGHT.) IMO 2-3-2025 Militia Man Article: "House of Representatives votes on the draft law amendment" We've been waiting for this. Quote: "The House of Representatives voted yesterday Sunday February 2 2025 on the draft law amending the first budget law...with attendance of 176 representatives." That tells us they have a quorum...That's powerful. They look like they indeed had the vote...This is an important step to reconnect the region to global markets. That's internationalism. That's big...Obviously big change is coming.

The Republican representative stressed the need to 'impose sanctions on this bank'... noting that President Donald Trump 'will fix the matter'.... 1-31-2025 Frank26 Security and stability is what we constantly are seeing them brag about. I'm surprised they don't have the Goodyear blimp going by and saying, 'We have security and stability in Iraq now!' Everyone knows it. The whole world is pouring into your country. World banks are going crazy. Everything that should not be happening to your country because you're at a program rate is happening. How is this possible? What is this? This is The Twilight Zone...We now step into the new dimension called the monetary reform giving purchasing power to the Iraqi citizens. 1-31-2025 Mnt Goat The governor of the CBI knows the Dr Shabibi plan and it can not be stopped. It can be delayed but the reforms move ahead in spite of the U.S. foreign policy of the past. However, it also took a decent prime minister like Al-Sudani to move it ahead regardless. Remember the Nori Al-Maliki days. Yes, this was yet 8 more years of wasted time...All we need to do is take a good hard look at the last couple years of progress under Al-Sudani and we can clearly see a change. This took strong leadership and dedication to the White Paper reforms. This is where we are today. They are now at the point in spite of all the corruption they have made it to the finish line but now they need a push over it...

Here's why: 1. Controlled Currency Policy. The Vietnamese government closely manages the value of the dong to maintain export competitiveness. A stronger Dong could harm Vietnam's economy by making its goods more expensive globally. 2. Inflation and economic balance. Vietnam's bank is cautious about rapid changes to avoid destabilizing its economy. 3. Global dynamics. Vietnam's reliance on exports means its currency value is tied to global trade dynamics, including demand from the U.S. and Europe. 1-31-2025 MarkZ Question: When they exchanged currencies in the past-How was it given to you? Mark: Right into your bank accounts. …Also in the past-before electronics…if it were a smaller amount…they just handed you cash. 1-31-2025 Frank26 Article 12-2 c not being voted on or passed yet by parliament that's because IMO Article 12-2 C and the new exchange rate are married and Alaq is performing the ceremony right now...

Quote "It's worth noting Kuwait has about 7% of the world's oil reserves which greatly supports the value of the currency. According to 2023 data Iraq has significantly more oil reserves than Kuwait with Iraq holding approximately 145 billion barrels of oil compared to Kuwait's 101.5 billion." Iraq has 43% more oil than Kuwait. [Kuwait's] currency is strongest in the world. Iraq has the ability to be at least 43% more valuable based off oil, let alone their non-oil revenues. Pretty exciting times! MM, you forget the population of Iraq is almost 10 times that of Kuwait, and it's size is 25 times larger ( As of January 20, 2025, Kuwait's population was 4,984,970, while Iraq's population was estimated to be 47,020,774 in mid-2025 ) - your logic of a 43% greater value is absurd and unrealistic.

We are not sure if the limitations are because of U.S. sanctions, the Islamic faith or both...One of the fundamental tenants of Islamic finance is the prohibition of gharar, or excessive uncertainty and maysir or gambling both of which are deemed detrimental to individual and societal well-being. The foreign exchange market presents a challenging ethical dilemma for Muslims.

This is Dinar Mythology and there exists NO PROOF of any such contract rate. If you want to go into the bank and sound like an idiot, then be my guest. Everyone will get exactly the same rate due to "The Law of One Price". This can be verified. You must ask yourself how you might get a "contract Rate" without a contract? However, the banks may well have varying rates on the exchange fee but that is generally around 2%. Militia Man In my view this reeks of a need to change the exchange rate for the Iraqi dinar or they would have already done it. If they're going to an international state, they should have already done it by now if it was going to stay the same exchange rate...Everybody that's been involved with the dinar should [ask], 'Well they've been at 1310 for a year or more, why haven't you done it yet?' That's because they're looking for an exchange rate change because that's what's going to happen.

MarkZ Question: Just thinking out loud here, is it possible to get the REER, on Sat and get paid on the 21st? Mark: It is absolutely possible. Similar to how Kuwait did theirs. In a nutshell, Kuwait got a REER (Real Effective Exchange rate) and within 10 days we started exchanging. Frank26 The auctions have metamorphosed, they have evolved...they have progressed to what is now called international foreign currency transfers and it's being done by private banks...You think the currency auctions that once existed that Iran was taking advantage of are still active? You're wrong. You're ignorant. Transfers, no longer auctions. This is not taking a currency and converting it into any other currency. This is moving a currency in and out of the country they could never do before. Don't you understand the value of that? Don't you understand how important that is for the monetary reform? Ain't got nothing to do with the CBI. It has to do with the private banks exchanging between each other and across the borders. Jeff January is a very critical month for the rate change. Shabibi back in January 19, 2012 did a four-point rate change from 1170 to 1166. Militia Man There's some people out there that talk about the fact that the dollar auctions haven't changed. That's wrong...you should already know this by now, it's called the new reinforcement mechanism. Articles specifically tell you the dollar auctions...are no longer, at all. Everybody that is going to get a dollar from anywhere in Iraq is going to come from this new mechanism and that's a fact.

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 MarkZ Question: if Iraq is increasing her foreign reserves through correspondent banks, isn't that international trade? Mark: Yes and that is why some are getting excited. Kaperoni Question: "In reading these articles, I find they contradict each other. I remember a few months ago that only 13 banks were not in compliance with CBI standards. Today, I read 32 banks have limited functions. Is this difference between gov banks and private banks, or am I still in the weeds trying to understand foreign banking?" Some of the recent articles are opinion articles. Sandy Ingram In the 3rd quarter of 2024 the Central Bank of Iraq reported steady growth in both bank deposits and cash credit across state and private banks. Article "Iraq's bank deposits reach $97.32 billion in 2024's third quarter" These figures highlight a positive trend in Iraq's banking sector with increased confidence in both savings and lending activities across the country. Pimpy The last time Trump was in office, we became the #1 exporter of energy which affected oil prices and affected Iraq. With Trump coming into office, we're going to quickly see what kind of impact he has on Iraq and the oil market...All we can do is sit back and watch. If Iraq thinks it's going to go in the same direction as it did last time and the value of oil per barrel goes down, which could hurt them big time. PompeyPeter They won't carry on until they have something out on Forex. Let's not forget the importance of that because that's attached to WTO. I think that's an enormous indicator of where we're at. They've got to pull the plug. They've got to show that rate internationally on Forex even if they show 1310, which they won't because they'll implode economically, but they've got to put something up on that board. They've got to show the international world the currency. It's got to be up there. Frank26 Soon I will be receiving, god willing, thousands and thousands of locations where you will be able to exchange. Not the ones where you call the US Treasury, where they tell you all the banks in America where you can exchange. Not that one. The one where the CBI is releasing thousands of banks all across the world. Those banks are going to collect the 3 zero notes...Michigan and California are the number one states. Jeff Up Until, through the end of September was the government's busiest time period for having and holding sessions of parliament, getting record steps done, all in preparation for them to revalue. Since September they only got a few odds and ends done. Why so little? Because they have a rate change date and they are working around that date awaiting the revaluation. In this month of January you're witnessing them on a small level starting to implement their banking reforms via what they're doing through the currency auctions. That's another critical preparation step for them to revalue the currency... Militia Man Article: "Al-Sudani in Tehran: A new alliance to confront terrorism and the challenges of the post-'fall of Syria' " Iraq as a mediator in the region is going to go along way to keeping stability. There have been meetings with the "new" USA administration by phone at the highest level and an unannounced delegation from the same prior to his Sudani's visit. He is home now. I imagine things went well for all included. Like it or not Iran is a very large trading partner. There has to be a very strong agreement by all parties public and private. Iraq is taking her place again in the region. She has always been in that position as mediator. MarkZ [Rumor]⚡ Things are looking good and there has been a lot of activity. Suddenly a lot of banking contacts have been checking in. Which is exciting. I have had 4 confirmations from banking contacts that I have known for yea, they are telling me now to prepare for new rates. One of them said “It looks like that thing you are expecting is happening by Saturday. New rates by or on Saturday”. Stay calm though. Pure BS in my opinion..! Yada Their banks are now handling all the currency exchanges from the region and around the world. Not just the dollar, they are exchanging dinar and the increased value is about to be seen by us.

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 Walkingstick The fact that Sudani is talking so much about the purchasing power to the Iraqi citizens is amazing...It puts us exactly where we need to be with this monetary reform education...IOO no prime minister has ever made such bold promises to the citizens of his nation. These conversations of giving purchasing power to the citizens have never been seen in the Middle East nor said by a prime minister of the Middle East. Militia Man Article Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Reserve are moving towards authorizing Iraqi banks to contract with international auditing companies." Why is the world would you be doing that if you weren't going international? You wouldn't. We're not talking about the central bank or the state banks, we're talking about [private] Iraqi banks. Quote: "This step is a turning point that contributes to drawing a clear map for the work of Iraqi banks on the global stage as they deal with international correspondence and financial guarantees in addition to instant transfers." Jeff Nope, they haven't stopped [the "auctions"]. They're resuming. They sell U.S. dollars daily abroad...because Iraq doesn't have a tradable currency. These remittances will continue until the rate changes. The only real change that's happened is the dollars, they are transferred now at the banking level instead of the central bank level. They're preparing the banks to be able to transfer foreign currencies abroad and be ready for the rate change when it occurs.

RON Frank26 [Sacramento California Chase bank story] A: [The wealth manager] before he even sits down, the first thing he said, you're right. Right now we don't exchange [Iraqi dinar] but 'when it goes live' we can help you right over there and he pointed to the tellers. I said do you guys verify on site? He said yep, when it goes live you can just go stand in line right there, they'll run it through the machine, and then it will be right in your account - no hesitation. It was almost like he was saying, we're waiting for it to go live too, is how I took it. Frank: Nobody knows when, but they all have been put on alert. That's why the mantra, it's a scam is no longer to be found anywhere. It has become extinct because they are preparing to deal with this. [Rumor] Samson Article: "**GOVERNMENT ADVISOR : NON-OIL GDP GROWTH RATE IN 2024 IS UNPRECEDENTED"**" MarkZ [Rumor] It’s been an exciting morning. Been proving and disproving pictures of lower denoms. There is a good chance one of my Iraqi contacts will be sharing pictures of the new Iraq $20 note today. We do not want to get folks hopes up falsely. So doing more vetting today. The conversation in Iraq is small denominations /notes. Why would they release small notes unless there is a value change?

RON Jeff Iraq's critical laws at this point are waiting for the rate to change. Iraq has not held a session of parliament since September 28th. Critical laws, not draft laws, are waiting for the rate to change. That's why they have not held a productive session of parliament since September 28th. They're going to resume their session of parliament after January 9th. Clare Article: "Government Advisor: Non-oil GDP Growth Rate in 2024 is Unprecedented" Quote: "The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed...that the growth rates of the non-oil gross domestic product will rise in an unprecedented manner during the year 2024" Pimpy They are talking about increasing the value of the United States dollar over the dinar. The opposite direction we wanted to go. I told you there was talks about this before. This is 'only talks' that the Iraqi dinar is going to lose value

RON Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr Sammy says month of January is critical. FRANK: Yes, it is critical in the sense they are about to give you your purchasing power because the evidence points solely in that direction. There is no other option, there is no other choice. Mnt Goat Article: "CENTRAL BANK ANNOUNCES MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT IN FOREIGN TRANSFERS" Quote: "This achievement is a radical transformation in line with the best international standards and practices to achieve a stable and secure financial system" So where is the RV then? Why still at 1/6 of a penny? MarkZ Question: is the dinar floating? Mark: its floating in the parallel market in a direction that supports us. It was 1500 a few days ago in the parallel markets which mean we are watching the dinar gain value in the free market. They are changing how auctions work and want us to know why.

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 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The feel on the streets we citizens know a new rate is coming! Everything is pointing to to this! FRANK: I agree with you. I can feel the rumbling of the earthquake that will bring you your monetary reform, purchasing power. Things are getting very exciting. Clare Article: " 'Changes are coming inevitably' . What awaits Iraq after January 20" Quote: "Iraq will be part of the new Middle East, this is what a number of observers expect about the next stage after Donald Trump assumes the US presidency on Monday, January 20...Trump's strategy will depend on severing the relationship between Iraq and Iran once and for all. That is, Trump will not rely on the gray area in which Iran's allies maneuvered in the past. Therefore, the current and future Iraqi government will have to reveal the truth about its relations with the United States of America, and Trump will not accept a government that is an enemy of the United States of America...If Al-Sudani's government does not abide by Trump's conditions, there may be some alignment between Washington and Tel Aviv to stop this Iranian influence inside Iraq." Militia Man The next step is to do global transactions against other currencies in dinar and other foreign currencies. They will become similar to foreign currency in International terms. I don't believe it's going to be at 1320 for the dollar. It will not work as a REER. From today, banks are closed and will not open in Iraq until next week...Monday is a national holiday, Army Day...It definitely looks like a timed mechanism in many ways. Jeff There's a lot of rumors...talking about how the rate might change on January 6th. Disregard that. I can promise you the rate is not changing on January 6th. I'm going to give you a date in this and it's opinion-based so this may or may not happen. If the rate it going to change, because we don't know if the rate is going to change in the month of January, it will be sometime in the second half of January after the 15th. That is a promise. It has to be after the 15th...The rate cannot change before the 15th. And...it can only change on what is their Sunday...So it has to be on one of their Sunday's after the 15th. Again, we don't know if the rate is changing in January at all. We do know January is a critical month.
