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 2-15-2025 Kaperoni Article: "Iraq on the list of countries most attractive to investments" 2-15-2025 MarkZ Question: Mark, do you think it’s possible the dinar will be on forex Monday Feb 17th-Presidents day? Mark: I think it’s highly possible. I have multiple confirmations of bond commissions being paid in the last 24 hours on historic bonds…(??? Here he goes again with the BS) I am very excited but do not know what it means for our timing…yet. But this is money going to people I know. People I know have money… I am very excited... a number of contacts now have spendable dollars...this has never happened before. This is brand new and gives me great hope. Question: so once bonds are paid it’s our turn? Mark: Yes then it’s our turn. {Rumor} 2-15-2025 Frank26 Question: "Your friend has [an Iraqi] bank in Dearborn Michigan would you exchange your currency at that bank?" No, no, no. I'm an American. I'm a patriot. I'd rather exchange at an American Bank, even thought I'm not too happy with them, because I want the dinars to go to our federal reserves to help our country. If I go to Aki's bank the dinars will go back to the CBI...The CBI doesn't mind we are helping our country... 2-15-2025 Fnu Lnu People who will get paid before the official FOREX listing are contract holders who contracted to sell to private buyers. These contracts are pre-2011 October. This is because of the "Law Of One Price". It is illegal to sell the same financial instrument for different prices in different markets. There are a few other groups that were sanctioned by the UST but they are very few. They will get higher returns on investment than the regular guy off the street. It is a myth that you will be offered a "Contract Rate" at a "Redemption Center". Neither exist in the real world...ALL sanctioned groups are under strict NDA's. There will be no telegraphing of pre-payouts and no one will be "Screaming Like A Stuck Pig" lest they want their payments clawed back. (Lose their money)

These are my favorite articles in the news... It may at first seem imposing, but it will lead us to what we have been looking for all along...this move by the US is supported by the CBI and is in the plan as the next move that had to be made...It is going to set up the dinar for the future value.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Trump is going to come down hard on Iran and I hope Iraq doesn’t get in the way." I understand your view. We report what is in reality and happening during a global event too.

Yes, they still are not a free country until they get back their currency, which means to control their own wealth. Also I want to mention, the CBI reserves are in the bank in New York JP Morgan/Chase DFI fund amounting to over $120 billion dollars. And so Iraq will also have to recover these funds too. The UN already decreed these funds should be returned to Iraq...we are watching this closely. 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.

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.

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
