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 2-6-2025 Fnu Lnu Here are the key components [of the new training happening now]: First, Cross Border Payments - Iraq did a very poor job of remittances across borders which branded it as untrustworthy and undependable. This training will give Iraqi banks the necessary tools to completely eliminate the former days of suspicion. This will open up the wide world of trade which will in turn continue to drive up demand for this valuable currency. Second, Financial Integrity - The banking industry has struggled with corruption and inefficiency...No one wants to take a chance on countries that cannot be trusted. This training is tackling these problems head on. Adherence to AML standards is a must. (Anti-Money Laundering) The mere involvement with K2 Integrity consultants, the gold standard...sends a clear message that Iraq is serious about becoming a global partner. This is the final piece of the RV puzzle. [Post 1 of 2] 2-6-2025 Fnu Lnu So what does this mean to you as a Dinar investor? It means the groundwork is being laid for the RV of the Iraqi Dinar. It is no longer a question of "IF" but but one of "WHEN"? Only the most serious of potential global traders are tutored in the protocols of the Integrity and Cross Border Payments regimen. The RV has always been a matter of speculation but now we have tangible proof that it is about to happen. The INI wouldn't bother nor would the K2 consultants, if they didn't believe that Iraq is ready. We can now relax and wait for Iraq to acquire this training and apply it to the RV which has already been established. [Post 2 of 2] 2-6-2025 Militia Man Iraq's had restrictions on her currency and currency transfers. She hasn't been on the Forex in an international capacity. Why? Because...it has to do with the IMF...obligations...compliance and it has to do with currency transfers across the world for trade...The central bank is talking like she's going international...That sounds like having the ability to move her money, which is the dinar, across borders and to do trade. It looks like Iraq has the ability to fully access the IMF's compliance with Article VIII and Article IV of IMF's requirements...which promote free convertibility of member currencies...It looks to me Iraq has gone as far as she possibly can in making an announcement... 2-6-2025 Clare Article: "Trump Restores Tough Line on Iran—Includes Watch on Iraqi Banks, Gulf States Transshipment of Prohibited Goods" Quote: "U.S. President Donald Trump revived the tough line toward Iran... Two documents released by the White House: National Security Presidential Memorandum/NSPM-2 and Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Restores Maximum Pressure on Iran. NSPM-2 is addressed to 17 senior officials at 16 U.S. government agencies, including the State Department... NSPM-2 directs the Secretary of State to take immediate steps in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury...to ensure that the Iraqi financial system is not utilized by Iran for sanctions evasion or circumvention and that Gulf countries are not used as sanctions evasion transshipment points.” 2-6-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Television is saying great efforts are being made to protect our national currency with counterfeit and money laundering. FRANK: That's true. There is a very great effort being put to protect your national sovereign currency ...And it will have a new exchange rate to match it. All the monetary reform education taught to you up to this point is what's going on. The training at the border is playing an important part in the security of your currency. IMO your dinar is about to become the most powerful currency in the world surpassing Kuwait. 2-6-2025 MarkZ Article: “Parliamentary Finance discusses with a US delegation the file for contracts of foreign oil companies operating in Kurdistan” They are getting things sorted out to put final numbers on the budget tables for HCL. Big things are going on. 2-6-2025 Mnt Goat Article: "PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE “EXPLODES A SURPRISE” REGARDING THE COST OF EXTRACTING OIL FROM THE KURDISTAN REGION" Kurdistan has always wanted a bigger % of the oil proceeds as the % now allocated is not enough. The cost of extraction varies by oil well and this has been the reason all along why the Kurds are illegally selling their oil outside of the pumped metered system. This can easily be remedied but Baghdad has to take the time to listen and then take actions to reason with the Kurds on this matter. They are going to work it out as the budget amendments have been passed. *** Wednesday Midnight Opinions *** 2-5-2025 Frank26 Even if the budget comes out at the old rate, don't panic. Sudani knows what he's doing. The longer he can hide this form parliament the better...All the information about the new exchange rate has not been released yet, but within...13 days this budget will expose itself. It has no choice...This budget has no choice but to show its true colors in order for it to come to life...A new exchange rate cannot wait much longer. 2-5-2025 Clare Article "Two experts to {Sabah}: Iraq's cash reserves are {reassuring}" Quote "Academic Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi Iraq ranked third in the Arab world in terms of foreign exchange reserves for the year 2024...to (106.7) billion dollars in 2024 according to data from the Central Bank of Iraq...He added that the country has large cash reserves, which are greater than 100 percent of the volume of the issued currency..." 2-5-2025 Sandy Ingram Over time the Dong's value decreased, making it one of the lowest-valued currencies in the world. Despite this, Vietnam's economy has grown rapidly in recent decades, and the dong remains a crucial symbol of the country's resilience and independence. The word Dong means copper in Vietnamese, a nod to the traditional copper coins used in ancient times...You can trade the VND on the Forex Market or you can do what many investors...have done and that is purchase the currency...and wait for the value to increase. 2-5-2025 Militia Man I think we all know the United States is sitting on a very large stack of Iraqi dinar. Probably many other currencies as well because if we know about it they know about it. If we can figure it out, they probably have. They're one step ahead of us. That's a good thing because if this is a benefit for the United States of America and if it's a benefit for Iraq and if it's a benefit for other Middle Eastern countries...let's get going. 2-5-2025 MarkZ Article: “Iraq and Jordan agree to reorganize entry of goods” They are working on a joint economic city on the border so this will become a “border city” or a trade city for both sides. Jordan is widely accepted as a friend to all westernized countries and will open up an enormous door for Iraq internationally. This is big and exciting news. 2-5-2025 Frank26 IMO they are using the lower notes at the [Iraqi] border for training. 2-5-2025 Clare Article: "Trump cancels US exemption for Iraq to import electricity and gas from Iran" Quote: "US President Donald Trump canceled, on Wednesday, the exemption granted to Iraq to import electricity and gas from Iran, as part of the new package of sanctions on Iran...It also includes taking immediate steps, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury and other relevant agencies, to ensure that Iran does not use the Iraqi financial system to evade or circumvent sanctions, and that the Gulf States are not used as a transshipment point to evade sanctions"

The decision to close the agency is expected to negatively impact development and stability projects in Iraq, which may lead to a reshaping of bilateral relations between the two countries, especially if this lack of international support is not compensated" 2-4-2025 MarkZ Question: If Iraq is doing so well with a rate of 1310 - why do they need to change it? Mark: Because it’s a rentier economy. Meaning it’s not sustainable. They need to properly represent themselves internationally …It’s very important for Iraq to change their rate. 2-4-2025 Mnt Goat Article: "AL-SUDANI: WE ARE A CORNERSTONE IN THE STABILITY OF ENERGY MARKETS.

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 2-4-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: A delegation from the CBI will go to the USA in early April...Television just showed Alaq met with a high delegation from the USA and the CBI. A lot is happening. Television special saying Iraq's $100 billion in reserves backs Iraq's stability and credibility in the world. 2-4-2025 MarkZ I do not see it put in the Gazette tomorrow, but there is a good chance it will be in there on Saturday. What is he talking about...? The HCL, new rate, or what..? 2-4-2025 Militia Man If they're going to be paying salaries, if they're going to be allowing oil to move, change is coming. We can all feel they're going to have to adjust their exchange rate...If they were going to expose 1310 they would have done it a long time ago. They would have never waited this long. They wouldn't have hid it and they would have made the budget tables public. Are they waiting for a special time? It sure looks like it. A digital transformation is upon them and they're going to have an interconnection with a digital platform to move their currency. I think Iraq is probably not going to be the only one that's going to be involved in this. 2-4-2025 Samson Article: "To discuss military and strategic files.. A "high-ranking" American official will visit Baghdad soon" 2-4-2025 Clare Article Quote: “After voting on amending the budget law, the House of Representatives is waiting for the government to send the 2025 budget tables for approval, but until now we do not know when those tables will arrive, but this matter must be expedited.” 2-4-2025 Fnu Lnu The moment we have all been waiting for is upon us...Cross border payments - This training program illustrates Iraq's dedication to becoming a global player...Iraq has struggled with cross border payments...The involvement of the INI, CBI, K2, & NBI, and their collaboration speaks volumes. The subjects of transparency, efficiency and security are the subject matter of this training program. Cross border payments are essential for the success of any currency on the global stage...and is a key indicator of a country's economic health...This is how Iraq is opening themselves up to international markets and doing so with integrity and security. [Post 1 of 2] 2-4-2024 Fnu Lnu This is why this program is the necessary final step in the revaluation process. This...is about gaining the trust, globally, without which, Iraq will go nowhere and do nothing. Much hinges on the success and seriousness with which Iraq approaches and completes this training ... Eliminating corruption is the key that will unlock the door to the RV. In order for a currency to be revalued and accepted internationally it needs a robust financial system that can support international transactions. As the Iraq financial system becomes more appealing to foreign investors, it drives up the demand for such a stable currency. This shows something [Newshound Guru] Kaparoni has harped on relentlessly but now we know how that is accomplished. There are only a handful of elite countries that have such a high rating. [ Post 2 of 2] 2-4-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Banks are training on cross-border payments...Mr. Sammy wants you to know...the cross border payments are currency exchanges with Iraq and with other international countries...It's really a little deeper training that just saying cross-border payments. FRANK: IMO the training is being done with the new lower notes...To see this kind of training at the borders is fantastic! 2-4-2025 Sandy Ingram The Iraqi parliament held a crucial vote on Sunday to approve amendment to the 3-year federal budget law. This decision carries major economic and political implications particularly for restarting oil exports from the Kurdistan region...This vote is crucial to resolving financial and energy disputes between Baghdad and the Kurdistan region. The outcome will significantly impact Iraq's economic stability, energy production and the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil.

MarkZ: We are expecting and hoping the Iraqi tables to have new rates. Amounts and new rates for currency…I am told parliament is working on them today. 2-5-2025 Fnu Lnu [Response to Clare USAID/Elon Musk 2-4-2025 Article below] Elon Musk is NOT on a mission to downsize the Federal Government. He is working on discovering and elimination fraud and waste...USAID is a grifters delight and has been used, since the Kennedy era, as a way to launder money. They give grants that are fraudulent...In no way will Iraq be affected by the closure of the front agency. After all, haven't we be inundated by statements of "Ending Corruption In Iraq"? This is a puff-piece article of no consequence. It is merely an anti-Trump (TDS) article...Pay no attention as it couldn't possible have any bearing on the important and vital work being done in Iraq. 2-4-2025 [REPOST] Clare Article: "Sudden US move threatens development projects in Iraq" Quote: "Billionaire Elon Musk, who is leading US President Donald Trump's efforts to reduce the size of the federal government, announced the progress of these efforts, pointing to the ongoing work to close the US Agency for International Development [USAID], according to Reuters...

RON 2-4-2025 Clare Article: "Government advisor rules out Trump's oil cut plan, predicts appropriate price for Iraq" Quote: "The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, ruled out the success of US President Donald Trump’s plan to reduce oil prices in global markets...Saleh believed that what President Trump launched to work to make America the first producer and exporter of crude oil in the world to reduce prices will collide with the cost of producing shale oil...which exposes American oil to loss unless American oil touches $80 per barrel to exceed the actual break-even point to recover costs and achieve profits." 2-5-2025 IFrank26 Kurdistan is ecstatic. Kurdistan is happy. They passed the amendments, the parts of the budget...You now have oil flowing from Kurdistan to Baghdad and the price they accepted tells me there's a new exchange rate. How can all that be at 1310..? Eventually the budget will reveal the new exchange rate. 2-5-2025 Clare Article: "To discuss military and strategic files.. A 'high-ranking' American official will visit Baghdad soon" Quote: "The American official will discuss the mechanism for restructuring the relationship between the United States of America, in addition to understandings in the areas of security and defense, along with files related to the US Federal Reserve." 2-5-2025 MarkZ [RUMOR] I was told it most likely will be on a Saturday night into a Sunday Morning. Between 11 pm est and 2 am est. That is when the banks are quietest around the world. The second best time is a Thursday afternoon. 2-5-2025 Mnt Goat Article: “IRAQ ISSUES NEW BANKNOTES WITH INNOVATIVE SECURITY FEATURES FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED.. PHOTOS”. I have to once again reinforce...that the issuance of the visually impaired three zero notes is not an issue. As an investor, this is not something you should worry about, it is actually a good thing for our investment not a negative impact.

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 Frank26 It was Dr. Shabibi that said to our BlueStar, that's his user name, his name is John, when he met Dr. Shabibi at the United Nations...John asked Dr. Shabibi what do you need in order to bring back the value of your currency. After a long pause...he says, well John, my country needs security and stability to be able to bring back the value of our currency. The United Nations just declared it. The whole world knows it. Everybody you can think of, from IMF, World Bank, BIS, everybody is proclaiming the security and stability that is in Iraq. If you think that's by coincidence, you're wrong. 2-3-2025 Clare Article: "Parliamentary source: Parliament's vote on amending the budget does not mean approving the 2025 schedules" Quote: "The 2025 budget schedules were not approved in today's session, while indicating that the vote on amending the budget law was limited to a paragraph related to the Kurdistan Region's oil" 2-3-2025 Militia Man Article quote: "Al-Sudani and Barzani welcome the passage of the budget law amendment while considering the vote on the law a very responsible step" Will they expose the results of this outcome...? I believe they will. They have yet to expose the...'23,'24,'25 budget tables...Even though we haven't seen it yet, is probably just not public information. 2-3-2025 MarkZ Article: “Iraqi Parliament approves budget amendment-clearing path for Kurdistan oil exports” this will be about 20 million dollars a day in additional revenue. About 400 thousand barrels of oil that was not going to the budget. That is over 10 Billion dollars per year. They have also agreed and funded salaries. This is an enormous breakthrough over the weekend…Now it’s time to send the budget tables and finish those this week. They have agreed on it…now it is time to finish all the paperwork…that is where we are at right now. 2-3-2025 Kaperoni Article: "Catastrophic repercussions will affect everyone..

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 What did we need for the monetary reform to realize its new exchange rate? ...What do we need in order for the new exchange rate to come out? Article quote "Our message at the United Nations is very clear, the message is Iraq is now stable and secure...We wish this country all the best and prosperity and all that is good and beneficiary for this country and the people of this ancient country." You know darn well they're about to release a new exchange rate, you want money don't you? This is amazing! Militia Man My passion for this is all the way through the whole time. I haven't deviated for 15 years. I believe in my investments and I stick with them when I believe in something. I don't get involved in things I don't believe in...I try to help as best as I possibly can. That's my nature. Sandy Ingram This is not good news...Well known Iraqi economist Nabil Jaafar Al-Marsoumi...has warned that US pressure to lower oil prices could...lead to a devaluation of the Iraqi dinar... [He] explained in a Facebook post that US president Donald Trump has pushed for Saudi Arabia and OPEC to lower oil prices. This move is intended to make energy more affordable and accelerate the end to the Russia Ukraine war. As a result, OPEC plus is expected to end production cuts of 4.65 million barrels within the next few weeks. This decision will likely cause oil prices to drop...A drop in oil prices to $60 per barrel would create serious financial challenges...If oil prices fall further to $50 per barrel Iraq may have no choice but to devalue its currency...Stay tuned and stay positive. Pimpy To answer your questions, yes there is a new currency. They have new security features. No, we don't have to rush down and swap those currencies out for this new currency, they're going to run side by side. Frank26 The East [Middle East bank owner contacts] were willing to talk to us and tell us we see those lower notes in those [January article] pictures. Yeah they're using the 3 zero notes. We asked why are they using the 3 zero notes, why don't they show them the real lower notes? They said because the real lower notes are going to look like the ones they got now. What? Yeah, they're just going to drop the zeros, the colors and the shape will still be the same. The only one that will be different will probably be the 25. It will be smaller and it'll be a 20. It's hard to get information but what little bit we've got is just so encouraging. Fnu Lnu [Response to Jeff's 2-1-2025 exchange info post below] When a currency is in a basket of currencies, as in IMF / World Bank, a currency can only deviate 2% up or down in a 90 day period. Go to the website and look it up. Plus, it has been stated in plain English, numerous times, by the CBI, that the old and new currency will coexist for 10 years. When the Dinar goes on the FOREX, you can exchange at any time you wish, wait as long as you wish, until the currency you hold is cancelled...which will be 10 / TEN / Diez...YEARS ...Capice'? Jeff [REPOST] Question: "How long should we wait to go to the bank if we are not needing money ASAP? In other words do you think it will start floating fairly quickly or will it take some time?" This will be a managed float, which means it can only change plus or minus 10% per day...When the rate changes it'll come out somewhere around the $3.80 range. That's my opinion. I don't think it's going to go over $4 until going into the 2025 budget period...I think it's going to stay below $4 during our 90-day window to exchange. I wouldn't worry about time waiting for it to float. Get it exchanged. Don't wait for this to go up in value because I don't think you're going to have that opportunity or time frame. Militia Man Article: "Al-Sudani opens the 48th session of the Baghdad International Fair" The event is underway with 20 countries and up to 1,000... Iraq is looking for the international and Arab investors to come into Iraq. All of which are looking for doing business with assurances they can invest in a secure and stable economic environment...It has been openly stated they have that and will continue with the support of the international community noted by...the United Nations directly this week. This is very good to see. Clare Article 1: "Iraqi Parliament Approves First Amendment to General Budget Law for 2023-2025" Article 2: "After approving the budget amendment, Shakhwan Abdullah announces containing the problem of Kurdistan oil and employees’ salaries" Quote: "Abdullah stressed that there is no longer any obstacle to resuming oil exports," Frank26 The fact that Trump has sent his new Secretary of Treasury people along with the Treasury Secretary is gigantic. What do you think they're talking about, the Super Bowl next week? Of course not. They're talking about what they're about to do, to give [Iraqi citizens] purchasing power.

They tell us it will be put before parliament tomorrow (Sunday). 2-1-2025 Frank26 They're going to do everything on Sunday as far as the laws that are needed for the budget. If you do that and you open that budget - what's in the budget? What's in a piñata?

He added that "per capita GDP will rise for the sixth consecutive year to reach $6,971 in 2029." [Note: The per capita share of GDP for U.S. Citizens is projected to be $89,677 in 2025] 2-1-2025 Militia Man They haven't pumped oil out of Kurdistan yet and they haven't finished the unification of salaries yet...Those two items along with others will be a key component that to me need an Real Effective Exchange Rate. That's why they've been hiding 12-2 C [of the new budget amendment]. 2-1-2025 Jeff Question: "How long should we wait to go to the bank if we are not needing money ASAP?

Happening today. Many are attending from out of the country including 1,000 from the US. This will be a very big international fair for them. 2-1-2025 Fnu Lnu Vietnam is a communist country thus it has a tightly controlled centralized economy. Vietnam has also been used as a storefront for Communist China. This disguises Chinese products making them look like Vietnam made when in fact, they are only assembled in Vietnam. China deflects criticism and Vietnam has a booming business in product assembly, packaging, and shipping. A currency value increase would cause Vietnam and China to lose an huge export advantage. China and Vietnam have both been long accused of currency manipulation. I do believe it will, indeed, be a while before Vietnam increases their currency value. 2-1-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr. Sammy says...we see Germany, France, Egypt they're all saying to us, 'just do it.' And ones [investors that arrived] today all praising Iraq saying we are stable and we want to do business with Iraq. Even Kuwait who has the strongest currency in the world is now coming in and supporting us. It's looking pretty good. FRANK: Kuwait holds the most powerful currency in the Middle East but we see the whole world running to Iraq, not Kuwait? They know the potential of the float of your currency on an international level is going to be insane.

I don't know if you guys see what I see but I don't think there's any coincidences in all the information...but we're going to watch and see because you never know what happens. I don't think anybody has ever seen what we're seeing today. I'm pretty excited about it just as you should be! 2-1-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Iraq parliament just said they are going pass the budget law amendments this coming Sunday. FRANK: IMO it really looks like all the laws are about to be passed based on what you've been sending me. It really looks like the budget is about to be exposed, maybe Sunday. I don't know. It really looks like the new exchange rate is about to be introduced...Sunday might be very explosive. We may need a few days after Sunday, I don't know. 2-1-2025 MarkZ Article: “At Trump’s table: Rafidain Bank faces threats of US sanctions” This is a new policy to extricate Iran banking influence from Iraq…Trump has Iran in his targets. He wants all Iran’s influences removed from Iraq. Article: “Advisor to the US President: Trump is in the process of putting an end to Iranian influence in the middle east.” There seems to be a solid push to remove Iran. 2-1-2025 Mnt Goat I am positive that when the new U.S. Treasury secretary gives a report to President Trump on the reforms accomplished by Iraq under Al-Sudani, that they will finally release this currency from the grasp of the corrupt Washington establishment and finally free Iraq back into a truly sovereign state.

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 1-30-2025 MarkZ Article: “2 economists say Iraq’s foreign reserves are reassuring compared to previous years” Iraq has large cash reserves that are greater than 100% of the volume of the issued currency. They have more assets, more money backing up the dinar then they have in circulation. So Iraq has over 100% backing for their currency. This is important as most countries only have 20% or so to back their currencies. 1-30-2025 Article: "Our relationship with America will become stronger with an initiative that Al-Sudani will announce soon..

THE POINT OF THIS ARTICLE IS THAT THEY WILL NOT DEVALUE! RUMORS ARE BEING SQUELCHED. IMO THESE ECONOMISTS ARE NOT GOI OFFICIALS.. 1-29-2025 Sandy Ingram We learned the state owned Iraqi Midland Oil Company said it has discovered huge oil reserves in the East Baghdad oil field... quote "The new discovery is expected to add more than 2 billion barrels to Iraq's oil reserves." Iraq is floating on oil...According to previous surveys by the US government there is much more oil to be discovered in Iraq. 1-29-2025 MarkZ Think about everything on the plate of the new US secretary right now…. The US has a freeze on money and they are scrambling because the last administration spent 30% of our budget in just 19 days!

Trump protects the United States dollar and the IQD. Our military forces have poured into Iraq from one area to refortify what we have. Why? To protect the reforms, to protect the currency. Trump was saying I'll take your oil but I'm going to drill baby, therefore I'll take a new exchange rate for the IQD that I have in my reserves and deal, deal, deal or no deal... 1-29-2025 Clare Article: “Our relationship with America will become stronger with an initiative that Al-Sudani will announce soon..

You've never signed it before. ? You've never signed it before. Show me something you've signed in the last 20-30 years with Iraq's Oil Company. No they got their own oil company don't they. BP, why out of nowhere? ...On the 1st of February? ...If we go past February the 1st and BP sill hasn't signed it, what does that tell you? There's a new exchange rate and they're waiting for it.

Meanwhile Iraq has 43% more oil reserves than Kuwait...and just founded two more major wells besides....Kuwait is at 1 KWD = 3.25 USD on FOREX...If we pay attention we can see the writing is on the wall and their economists see it now too. 1-29-2025 MarkZ Article: “The region demands more dollars-and the center and the south rise up and refuse to pass the budget” We had seen articles like this in Kuwait just before they released their RV. The same back and forth in articles….and Kuwait said they were not going to increase the rate for 6 months the same exact day they released it…. China and Germany did the same thing... I was told that there is so much pressure and Iraq has agreed to settle in the next 3 days…also they have a team already in Baghdad from the Kurdish region with great hope to settle this debate on the budget tables..

Sandy Ingram The Iraqi dinar faces several potential scenarios for its value in 2025...One possibility is a gradual appreciation in value...The country's vast oil reserves are its economic backbone. If global oil prices remain high and Iraq increases production, the influx of foreign currency could strengthen the dinar. Additionally, diversifying the economy and reducing corruption could boost investor confidence and attract foreign investment further supporting the currency's value. On the other hand the dinar could remain stagnant or face depreciation. If global oil prices drop significantly, Iraq's reliance on oil revenues could strain its budget and weaken the dinar. Inflation or issues in managing monetary policy might also negatively impact its value. [Post 1 of 2] Sandy Ingram Another scenario is a potential revaluation or redenomination of the currency. This could occur if Iraq's government and Central Bank aim to simplify transactions and improve the currency's global perception. Such moves often depend on strong economic fundamentals and international support. Ultimately the future value of Iraq's currency will hinge on a combination of political stability, economic reforms, global oil markets and the country's ability to manage these factors effectively. For now the dinar's prospects remain uncertain with opportunities for growth balanced by significant risks...For now the dinar remains a speculative currency. [Post 2 of 2]

Jeff: When they phased out the old Saddam Swiss notes and put the new notes into circulation everybody had 90 days to turn in their old Saddam notes and get the new ones. They used to have a 50 note up until 2012. They phased out 50 note and replaced it with the 50,000 note. When everybody had to turn in their old 50 note they had 90 days as well. My opinion is that we're all going to have 90 days to turn in our notes because that's how long they had historically from two different scenarios to turn them in. However, Shabibi, the originator of the plan indicated the notes would coexist for some time.

Only a gradual reduction of the currency as a result of the economic growth in diversification would make any sense. Not to mention, the world would not accept any arbitrary or random value. Pimpy There is no in county/out of country. Whenever Iraq makes a change on the currency exchange rate in country it's going to affect everywhere around the world in regards to Iraqi dinar. There's not going to be some special group that you go to, Tier one, tier two, there's no Reno visit. That's all bull ****. There is no redemption centers.

They are converting dollars to be sold on trading platforms and the stock market and switching to the forex market! In order to take the next steps for them it needs to be traded on platforms just like the US dollar, British Pound and other currencies are.

Pimpy The Grand Faw Port is really important to Iraq. This will allow them to be able to do a lot of trade globally. The ships will just pull right into this port and you'll have a lot of goods coming in and out right at this section of Iraq. This is awesome. The Development Road is really big that allows a mass transportation. They have a railroad that's going to be made right next to it. The same thing, great for global business. You'll have a train that's able to deliver the goods wherever need be there in Iraq. Things are looking up for Iraq. This is great for business. These things will help expand Iraq internationally and help strengthen the Iraqi dinar. Eventually it'll get stronger over time and you'll see the value of the Iraqi dinar increase against the U.S. dollar. Militia Man Article quote: "The Central Bank Tower project in Baghdad and the Grand Faw Port is Basra among the list of the most prominent mega projects in the world for the year 2025."

All they are doing is reading the amendment; therefore. there is no need to read the budget again. There is no significance to them NOT reading the entire budget because it isn't on the table.

Frank26 Article: "House of Representative completes the second reading of the draft amendment to the budget law." Is that the second reading to the budget? It's actually the 2nd reading to a draft of the amendment of the budget. They didn't read the whole budget. They only read the part they amended, [read] for the second time. That law IMO is all that's needed. You don't have to read it, 15 days later it become law. Mnt Goat Article: “IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR SOURCE OF INCOME IN THE ECONOMY...AL-SUDANI DIRECTS THE MATURATION OF TOURISM PROJECTS” We can see that Al-Sudani is taking on this non-oil revenue sector seriously and will exploit it to overcome the rentier economy (oil based economy) of Iraq. Now you add this to the other non-oil sources of revenues and you have a booming economy for Iraq. WOW! WOW! WOW!. They will soon be filthy rich with little to no debt. They are backing their currency with GOLD too. Oh…their dinar is at what price? A 1/6 of a penny? Really?

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 Question: "What do you think Iraq's time to allow international to exchange our notes? That's their prerogative. Normally when something like this happens the IMF works with that central bank of that country and they figure out a time frame. It can be three months or six months. It can be a year. The Untied Sates of America never cancelled our 3 zero notes. America never stopped allowing 3 zero notes to be exchanged but I got a feeling Iraq will, and they should. Militia Man Article: "Al-Nusairi: Explains the new mechanism for external transfers after the platform is closed" We have been following this and we have been spot on...They finally have done what was expected. This is to get the Central Bank back to normalcy with international standards. That it a fact. A very good thing to have had correct all along [in our] study of the Iraqi Dinar... Pimpy We know that al-Sudani is going to be talking to Trump real quick here. Last time [Trump was in office] they didn't make any changes and what ended up happening was they had to devalue the dinar before the country went bankrupt. So this time around they might jump ahead of this and devalue the dinar ahead of time so that the impact is not that hard against the Iraqi people and against Iraq if crude oil prices go down. Sandy Ingram Two of Iraq's most ambitious infrastructure projects, the central bank tower in Baghdad and the Grand al-Faw Port in Basra have been recognized as some of the most significant mega projects in the world for 2025. The projects ranked 11th and 10th by the renowned British platform the B1M. These achievements reflect not only Iraq's commitment to modernization but also it's ambition to reclaim its place on the global stage as a hub for economic and cultural progress. Samson Article: "British platform includes the Central Bank Tower and Al-Faw Port in the list of giant projects in the world for the year 2025" Jeff Iraq's '25 budget still in the works with the government expected to send the budget tables to the council representatives in early February. The rate needs to change before that guys. That's why I've been telling you you're in red-hot January. January is a critical month to our investment. And now, for one of MarkZ's outrageous rumors: MarkZ [Rumor] I have talked to a couple Iraqi sources and they still believe this is it. They have contractors that they are in contact with that are suddenly being called in. I have one who will not tell me what the re-negotiated rate is on their contracts. One of them mentioned $3.91, but I do not know for certain if that is really it. Its from a contact I don’t know really well.
