RON 5-16-2025 Clare Article: "Iraq expresses its readiness to contribute to the success of the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States." 5-16-2025 Sandy Ingram Looking again, the potential for the Vietnamese dong to appreciate against the United States dollar will largely depend on global monetary policies and Vietnam's ability to maintain macroeconomic stability. If the Federal Reserve implements interest rate cuts and global demand for Vietnamese exports strengthens, the dong may experience upward pressure. On the other hand the continued strength of the United States dollar and ongoing trade challenges could limit the dong's appreciation in the near term. 5-16-2025 Fnu Lnu [Response to Maxis 5-15-2025 post] Article "The Chairman of Iraq's National Investment Commission (NIC), Dr. Haider Mohammed Makiyya, announced the restart of 503 investment projects across the country, as part of a national plan to stimulate the economy." Iraq doesn't need to revalue its currency at this time because they are engaged in the resumption of 500 projects with 855 total on the agenda. 5-16-2025 Militia Man The United States is talking about currency manipulation...When Iraq has a real effective exchange rate, all those trading partners that have...the dinar, are probably going to get an adjustment...If all boats rise with the tide and all those currencies have more value to the United States dollar because they're adjusted accordingly based on their natural resources, which all those countries have a lot of natural resources, and if they all hold foreign currencies of each other's currencies, the valuations are going to go up...They're going to be able to buy more dollars...with less of theirs. It's actually a brilliant way of doing things. That's why everybody is flocking in [to Iraq]. Because it's like a lottery for them to some degree. 5-16-2025 Frank26 [my] I-Team...have a source...who works for the United States Treasury and it was 2 years ago that I-Team's friend was assigned to the 8th floor of the new CBI building in Baghdad to make sure all the sequential steps of the monetary reform was successful...We now have the RI ready IMO...He stated to I-Team he's coming home. 5-16-2025 Mnt Goat Once the parallel market gap is gone and the dollar matches or better (1:1), the CBI official rate of 1320, my contact told me the “official” rate will then revalue. My guess is it will be around 1166ish or better. They might go straight to 1 dinar = $1 dollar even. Was 1166 not the “official” rate of the Dr Shabibi era when in 2012 he announced the Project to Delete the Zeros was targeted for the fall of that year? I think Ali Alaq has a better plan going, better because he can, while in Dr Shabibi era Iraq was still under sanctions. 5-16-2025 MarkZ Article: “Why is the Arab summit in Baghdad distinct from its predecessors?” I find these articles interesting.

Not going to happen...If they delete the zeros your 1,000 dinar is going to become 1 dinar. Your 25,000 dinar is going to become 25 dinar. They're going to have to make new bank notes. It's called a redenomination. Only the nominal value, which is [the numbers in the corner of notes] is going to change. It's going to go from 25,000 down to 25.

They are stuck in a bad spot and don’t know how to get out of it. They are going to be forced to revalue or go broke. Everything is waiting on the revaluation of their currency...
