But they give you education...all the way through the process but the last thing they're ever going to do is tell you, 'We're going to revalue the currency tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning or anything like that. They're just not. 5-8-2025 Sandy Ingram Things keep popping off from behind the curtains in Iraq. This is major breaking news, more than any other news we have received recently. This news suggests that the US is pushing Iraq to implement certain financial standards or else...Iraq is taking desperate steps to meet its financial obligations using escrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to pay the salaries of its private sector workers. These funds...were originally established after the 2003 invasion to protect Iraq's income from foreign claims and lawsuits...The use of these protected funds signals how critical Iraq's economic situation has become and how deeply it depends on cooperation with U.S. financial authorities. 5-8-2025 Walkingstick [Iraqi banking friend Aki update] WALKINGSTICK: Where are the lower notes?

Is the market close to the official price?" When they talked about getting rid of the dollar auction, which they've done IMO, was going to put pressure on the parallel market because once the value of the dollar is less than the dinar that is going to go away...They're trying to get the parallel market to be in par with the official exchange rate, which is 1310/1320 buy/sell.

This is seriously swelling up for a reason, a purpose. Let's see what it turns out to be. Let's see what his announcement is...It's either about Iran or Iraq. That's what's on his mind, to play fair with the American currency...It's either Iraq or Iran and you know something? ...I'll take either one! 5-8-2025 Mnt Goat When the new rate for the Iraq dinar is reinstated on FOREX it will happen to the entire world all at once no matter what time zone...There will be no insider trading.

Now for some 5-8-2025 MarkZ I am getting many reports from banks that they are learning to process Dinar, Dong and Indonisia Rupiah…Internal reports saying “Hey, we are going to be accepting these currencies”. they don’t tell us the rate…just that they are going to be accepting them. This is step number one in my book. They train them on these currencies so they are ready for the revaluation…imo…This is clear evidence we are moving towards completion.

RON 5-7-2025 Frank26 We have learned once again that Alaq has admitted from last year that they are lifting the value from the currency by removing the zeros from their exchange rate. He admitted it to the citizens and to the world that they are lifting the 3-zeros and adding purchasing power to the currency. Will it be this year or next year? I believe it will be this year...I don't know...but it is now a fact of Iraq's life that they are lifting the 3-zeros from their exchange rate to add value to their currency. 5-7-2025 Fnu Lnu They have one shot to pull this off and I assure you they will not squander it...We will have an RV but the entirety of the geo-political world are in a tizzy and it is not going to get better for a while. If Trump is as smart as people believe him to be, he will successfully rearrange the global markets and pull a reset almost unimaginable. It's about time someone had the huevos to do what has been needing to be done for most of my rather long life. 5-7-2025 Militia Man It's not the central bank's job to tell you when a revaluation is going to happen. They're not going to tell you what rate it's going to be. There could be indicators...Let them do what they do. The cool part is we can see they are moving towards a digitalization of the government, borders and what they talked about launching, a digital dinar. And we have the IMF talking about them using dinar in foreign transfers. Let that sink in. 5-7-2025 Clare Article: "The United Nations and 18 countries meet with the Iraqi banking sector to discuss banking relations at the headquarters of the Association of Private Banks." -7-2025 [Boots-On-The-Ground] Maxis Question: "Have you heard anything like 'Iraq citizens given 48 hours to exchange their currency.

Anyone in the know in any of these organizations can not and do not talk to anyone outside of the organizations. Many of these meetings take place in the compound that I work due to the fact that we have one of the only facilities large enough to facilitate these meetings. I have personally asked many of these diplomats at our DFAC or Green Bean after their meetings how things went and occasionally what was discussed. They all say the same things “watch the news”, and everyone needs to remember that 90% of the media outlets here are owned and or run by the Pro Iranian Maliki group... 5-7-2025 Fnu Lnu Article: "Iraqi Finance Minister, Mrs Taif Sami Mohammed, along with the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Dr Ali Al-Alaq, participated in the Annual Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), held in Washington" Here is the real scoop on the World Bank and IMF meeting. Notice that there is no mention of currency revaluation. It is not part of the dialogue. As major and life altering as it is, if it were a topic of current import, they would have been discussing it. These meetings are completely transparent. There are no secret meetings. 5-7-2025 Militia Man Article quote: "The delegation International Monetary Fund stress the importance of strengthening the relationship with foreign correspondent banks in the field of financing foreign trade as well as supporting the use of the Iraqi dinar in economic transactions to maintain the stability of the local currency." I don't know you guys, some people like to say, 'drop the mic'. That's powerful and it's impressive. They're talking specifically about cross border trade, foreign trade, with the Iraqi dinar. 5-7-2025 Clare Article: "Trump teases 'very, very big announcement' ahead of Middle East trip, Carney says he's 'on edge of my seat'" Quote: "Trump has a planned visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in the coming days.

MarkZ: the bond folks who got money are the facilitators…not the bond holders. When the bond holders get their money …we are very close. On the positive side…things just lit up. A number of bond holders have told me they expect to get their payments late this week into early next week. This has come from many sources on 3 different continents. Since it came from so many sources I believe it’s safe to say that bond holders will soon have cash. It is my understanding the bond holders should get full payments. [Post 1 of 2] 2-20-2025 MarkZ They have to close out the old books so they can start the new books. Closing out the historic bonds closes out the old books. Bond facilitators told me they pay the commissions out first in fiat money …then the bonds themselves will be paid in asset backed…then you and I all go to the bank...With the vast number of bond contacts that have checked in… I imagine groups will start checking in at any moment. Hopefully this will help us narrow down the timing. [Post 2 of 2]

This is one of the things I've been waiting to see right here, at least them talking about preparing to get the budget schedules to parliament and start the approval process. It will require three readings because it's budget funds. MarkZ I am hearing a lot of chatter that there may be an Iraqi rate change over the weekend. I am not going to ride the roller coaster but will be hopeful that we are seeing it that soon. But Trump is not in office yet, so stay calm. Jeff's post above pretty much negates Mark's crock of crap. I weasn't going to post it, but there was nothing else available, and it shows just how much he slings the crap. He makes the statement, then provides himself a way out. The only value he provides is when he posts articles...period..!

Samson Article: “Baghdad Governor: There is a positive impression regarding Baghdad’s nomination as the capital of tourism for 2025" Frank26 Not every bank is going to be able to do this.

People are so scared, 'I don't know where to go.' When this thing happens it's going to be so hot. There will be plenty of large banks dealing with international bank transfers when this happens.

Militia Man They just said they're going to decrease the value of the dollar, which doesn't make any sense. How is Iraq going to decrease the value of the dollar? The only way they can do that is if they increase the value of their currency because the United States dollar is the most prolific currency in the world. The volume traded is the largest in the world...Obviously, the reciprocal is the same thing - increasing the value of te IQD against the USD.

RON Fnu Lnu Some opine that there is no such thing as a Redemption Center while others claim to be in contact with such Centers and their personnel. What they (redemption centers) are, is a simple solution to a simple problem. Many of the large banks in heavily populated urban centers were concerned about having the Dinar traffic clog their lobbies at exchange time. The solution is to have a separate, off-premises, specialized, Exchange Center, complete with DeLaru computers, in the most populated city in each of the 10 federal regions...I haven't been informed of any changes. Just say what they are - BANKS, without making up a story. MarkZ We got another bank story overnight from a wealth manager who is reaching out to clients saying “It is time- get everything prepared ” He means to get currency together and make certain they have ID’s updated if needed. He says they are at “Any moment now”.

Now they are telling me “you were right all along and get prepared”...we will not know the exact timing or the “when” until it actually happens. But they are now openly preparing many of their clients. We are hearing more and more repeat stories about this. But being leaned on hard to not share details right now. Pimpy I want to make myself perfectly clear - Deletion of the zeros, Lopping or redenomination are all the same thing. All they're doing is changing the face of the bank notes. That's it. An increase or decrease of the Iraqi dinar against other foreign currencies is a change in the exchange rate. That's different. And NONE OF US knows for sure what Iraq is going to do..!
