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 9-28-2025 Frank26 A long long time ago in a far far galaxy I once told you the day you see the HCL you'll see what you've been wanting to see, a new exchange rate for the currency of the country of Iraq for the Iraqi dinar, within nanoseconds. 9-28-2025 Nader From The Mid East We have to wait for Forex. It's on the agenda. They're talking a lot about Forex but they're not saying when we're going to be on Forex. If it's on Forex even at 1310, I just want it tradable on Forex even at 1310. It don't care at 1320. I just want it tradable. Once it's tradable then we talk. For now it's not tradable. It is on Forex but it's frozen. You cannot sell it on Forex. 9-28-2025 Fnu Lnu There is NO contract rate that is available for the asking. Everyone will get the exact same rate with one exception. Certain groups contracted with foreign buyers...were banned or sanctioned from participating in the Dinar for Oil project. Those private sales were halted in late October, 2011. There are some contracts that are yet to be fulfilled. Those will be paid out right before the revalued/FOREX rate goes into effect. That is the ONLY contract rate to be paid to anyone and it will happen pre-RV. You CANNOT get a contract rate without a contract. 9-28-2025 Sandy Ingram [Continuation of Guru Sandy's Country Revaluation post 9-27-2025] In the early 2000 China began slowly revaluing their currency. It wasn't an overnight event. Instead their currency was carefully adjusted over years as China became a global economic powerhouse ...That's basically how I see Iraq doing its thing...gradually increasing and increasing and increasing over time. Many of you and many global economists say it will happen overnight. I don't know and I'm not sure if they know. But one thing is for sure, we as IQD investors need to be prepared no matter what Iraq decides to do. 9-28-2025 Pimpy Community comment: "Iraq was removed from the exotic currency list." Now this is worth really paying attention to...If you're going to get removed off the exotic currency list, this signals to the international community that the currency is stable allowing investors to consider investing in the country...It doesn't mean it's gong to happen right away but it indicates they're ready to go onto the Forex...Yes, getting off that exotic currency list is a big step. 9-28-2025 Clare Article: "Masrour Barzani thanks Washington: Resuming Kurdistan's oil exports is a win for all Iraqis" Quote: "Kurdistan Regional Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Saturday praised the role played by the United States in resuming the region's oil exports after a halt of more than two years" 9-28-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Our oil is moving everywhere because of the oil agreement and the signing of it...Television showing tankers on alert for the resumption of oil to Turkey.

This is revenue of 11 million dollars per day." Can you say Oil and Gas Law almost done?

I'm not trying to burst your bubble or go against you...When someone tells you give me your dinars and I'm going to give you a higher rate, a special rate, it's insane. It's a lie. It's misleading...It's hopeful wishing. I wish it were true. But you cannot have a dual exchange rate for a currency. It's against the law...I'm sorry to burst your bubble. 9-27-2025 MarkZ Question: Any idea what the Dong rate is going to be? Mark: I think it will be in the low $2 range. Some of my sources thinks it will be in the low $3 range. 9-27-2025 Mnt Goat What pops out in the news from Iraq but an article that is exactly what the CBI told us would be coming shortly... Article: “DELETING THREE ZEROS FROM THE DINAR: CITIZENS’ CONCERNS AND EXPERTS’ WARNINGS”. So, why are they asking the citizens what they think in this article? Are they planning to conduct the project to delete the zeros? Did the CBI say they were planning something? Should we expect shortly to hear from the CBI? I believe that we can answer all these questions with a big fat “YES”.

No one knows when notifications are coming, but there is a tremendous amount of anticipation for September 2nd. 9-1-2025 Fnu Lnu Perplexity AI report: "The Iraqi Dinar (IQD) currently operates under a fixed exchange rate system, with its value set and controlled by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI)... the currency does not freely float on global forex markets. There is no official indication that Iraq plans to switch to a floating rate in the immediate future." There is a continuing debate about the IQD at a fixed rate or a float. My personal belief is that a fixed rate is necessary at the beginning of the Iraqi renaissance because many things need to be controlled.

The new facility provides customers with a fully digital banking experience, designed to be fast, secure, and integrated, and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week." Here we go with a "consumer available" digital bank in Iraq. This blurb was a bit light on details but bodes well for Iraqi innovation. 8-31-2025 Frank26 Sudani is protecting the exchange rate. Where's the exchange rate? 12-2c. What the hell is 12-2c? An amendment to the budget. What does it do?

That's a pretty powerful statement. Those that think Iraq's going to come out at 1310, trust me on this one, 1310 is insignificant. It's not going to work. It's not even a reality.

He sees them both at the same time. 8-26-2025 Jeff Remember US personnel won't be out of there till September 15th, meaning the buildings have to be vacated. It's called sovereignty. We have to pass that security baton and that control baton back to the government of Iraq. Once we've got the sanctions lifted and we're out of there.

A couple of things are going on here. When...Bush...failed...to locate and steal Saddam Hussein's gold cache, the Iraqis patiently waited to repatriate their own gold hoard. This is what they have been doing. They regularly expand their gold reserves yet I can find no records of any International gold purchases. That's because they aren't purchasing it, they already own it. They are incrementally reinserting their stash into the reserve, BECAUSE THEY NEED IT! Because they still do not have the needed revenue in hard liquid assets to pull off a currency revaluation. They are very resourceful and they are getting the job done but not as fast as we wish... 8-26-2025 Militia Man If Iraq has reduced the note count as big as I think they have, which they haven't exposed yet, all these things are coming together and it's powerful.

Just as I told you months ago, the United States has too much invested in Iraq to just pull out. This isn't Biden in Afghanistan. We will remain in Iraq until the end of 2026..We will never completely leave Iraq and it will be another year and a half before the last troops leave therefore, another year and a half until the currency (IQD) will revalue. 8-23-2025 Militia Man I've been involved in this for almost 10 years.

Most broad U.S. sanctions imposed after the Kuwait invasion in 1990 were lifted years ago. However, the United States does maintain targeted sanctions against specific individuals and entities associated with the former Saddam Hussein regime and others who are seen as undermining Iraq’s stability or threatening its peace. These measures include asset freezes and restrictions on certain financial transactions. Link to Mtn Goat's Post: Friday Early Morning Opinions @ 8:18 AM MST - 8/22/2025

This reform is a critical step towards Iraq's integration into the global financial system, which is seen as a prerequisite for any significant change in the value of the Iraqi dinar." Since I brought Oliver Wyman into the conversation a few months ago, many quickly latched onto the name and have been throwing it around without the necessary basic facts. O.W. clearly states that a future revaluation is NOT expected to happen this year without significant external intervention. As Joe Friday used to say on Dragnet, "Just the facts Ma'am." 8-24-2025 Nader From The Mid East Article: "Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid has expressed support for measures to strengthen the Iraqi dinar, including backing the Central Bank's efforts to raise its exchange rate." This article will tell you everything, everything and everything. The president of Iraq, not Al-Sudani, the president come out and talk about the dinar. He said he wants to straight up the dinar, straight up the exchange rate, straight up the banking system & financial system. This will tell you everything. Good one. 8-24-2025 Militia Man Article: "Al-Sudani stresses the importance of expanding the scope of work with the American company Halliburton" The association with a company this large, as Halliburton is, like it or not shows Iraq has the capacity, credibility, a state of stability, and focus based off results in its monetary reforms to attract global investment at the highest global levels. What we can see is a collective commitment from Iraq to be able to integrate into the international markets. 8-24-2025 Frank26 The new exchange rate cannot come out at 1310 because when Iraq signed the Paris Club Agreement...in 2003 the countries of the Paris Accord Agreement Club decided to forgive the debt of Iraq up to 80% under one condition, that when they came back to the international community their currency would have at least a value of one American dollar. This is in print. This is in the writing of the Paris Club Agreement. That is why I sleep with a smile on my face every night. These are historical days. The new exchange rate is here and the WTO is hinting at that.

RON 8-21-2025 Sandy Ingram The government in Vietnam likes to keep things stable. They control the currency very carefully. While the country is a great story, don't expect the dong to suddenly shoot to the moon. It's a long-term play, not a get-rich-quick scheme. Then you have the Iraqi dinar. Could the dinar get much stronger? Yes, it's possible. Iraq has a ton of oil and that's a huge advantage. If the country can keep its politics stable and build its economy, the dinar could be revalued. But it's a big gamble. The situation in Iraq is very complicated and uncertain. 8-21-2025 Paulette [Response to Clare's 8-20-2025 Trump quote article andJeff's 8-20-2025 Trump Interview video post] I believe based on relatively recent articles, the amount is now 37 billion - this is the DFI Fund. 8-21-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: We think the rate will show in September because the elections will be in October.

IOO we believe they are somewhere around 30 to 40 trillion dinars which can be done in '26, '27, '28. It's an ongoing process. America still have 3-zero notes that have not even been considered null and void yet. We came out with these in the 50s when our economy exploded. We got rid of 3-zero notes ourselves although we didn't cancel them. There is still a 500 note, a $1,000 note. It's not in circulation. 8-21-2025 Mnt Goat Today there is cause to celebrate but also to caution us investors. We must remember that there are political motives behind the scenes working within Iraq but also at the same time, the Central Bank keeps moving ahead with the financial reforms and its goals of financial freedom for Iraq. It is a growth process for Iraq both politically and economically. To hit the world stage again is an uphill battle but I am confident that Iraq is meeting the challenge and will soon emerge as a financial giant. 8-21-2025 Pimpy Trump Interview Quote: "We have $35 billion of their money right now sitting in an account." He didn't say "the Iraqi dinar". He said of "their money". What he's talking about is when Iraq sells oil, the money doesn't go to Iraq, it comes to us and we put it in this account. That's the money he's talking about. We have $35 billion of their money. Not the Iraqi dinar. He didn't say we're invested in the Iraqi dinar. He doesn't say we bought 35 billion of their dinars. He didn't say anything like that. I don't know why people use that video as a way to prove we have 35 billion Iraqi dinars. We don't. [See Trump's interview video below...Jeff 8-20-2025] 8-21-2025 Militia Man Global integration into the international financial system is taking place. When is that going to be physically done? We're going to have to wait and see. That's...the powers-that-be's job in conjunction with the central bank and the finance ministry. Let's watch and see what happens. 8-21-2025 Fnu Lnu It is my opinion that if an RV is to occur, then ALL Iranian loyalists must be purged from the government and banking sector permanently, otherwise, we will see no RV any time soon. 8-21-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Mr. Sammy's friend [an economic advisor for years] says...The three zeros will not come off the currency...the three zeros is coming off the rate. FRANk: They're giving you the definition of the explanation so you don't have to be fearful. It's not coming off of the currency. It's coming off the exchange rate...I've known all along it won't be a lop. 8-21-2025 MarkZ Article: “Baghdad and Erbil on the threshold of a historic agreement: Oil, Salaries and Non-oil revenues nearing conclusion” There were some real breakthroughs [Tuesday]. I guess my Iraqi sources were correct on Monday when they told me to expect a big Tuesday. They are working on mechanisms and even working on a budgetary change to facilitate the HCL law and oil coming out of the Erbil region. 8-20-2025 Frank26 Trump gave them until the 31st to fix their monetary reform policies, process...If not, they're going to liquidate. They're going to disintegrate a lot of the banks in Iraq. Trump ain't playing...That's why we see what Trump is doing with many currencies around the world. You talk about the lynch pin. You talk about the first domino. I sincerely think it's the Iraqi dinar.

He's throwing hints out there that he wants them back. We all know they going to need to change the rate to get us to bringing the notes in. FRANK: The 3-zero notes they keep talking about that are still outside of the CBI, that is correct. The simple, logical, the only solution to that is to raise the value with the new exchange rate with purchasing power. That's all there is to it. It's not complicated. It's not rocket science. Give us the freaking rate, you can have all the notes! 8-18-2025 MarkZ Out of Iraq we have some NEWS: ...they are working with Turkey to expand transit of oil and natural gas. They are clearly setting up for massive expansion. They are also working with Syria on pipeline deals.

This lack of demand coupled with Iraq's ongoing economic challenges and reliance on oil exports priced in US dollars, has contributed to the dinars low exchange rate....[We] expect the Development Road Project, a massive $17 billion project, that will shorten the shipping route between Asia and Europe, will change the need for the IQD. No less than ten countries will need the IQD to lower the cost of shipping goods from Asia and the Middle East, which will automatically increase the need for the IQD. Plus, Iraq's GDP will increase due to lower unemployment rates and higher oil revenue due to massive oil field expansions. 8-14-2025 Frank26 Alaq is no longer looking for security and stability because he has it. What he's looking for is the only reason why they have not lifted the value yet and that is the dinar mattresses. That is the reason now and can be solved very quickly...It was exciting for him to tell Iraqi citizens, 'we're going to come out with the rate better than 1980.' That's why this is a reinstatement. 8-14-2025 Fnu Lnu Article: "Officials estimated nearly 92 percent of Iraq’s cash remains outside the banking system, making it one of the world’s most cash-dependent economies." Quote: "Although parliament has pushed to merge and modernize public banks, progress remains stalled due to entrenched inefficiencies and outdated digital infrastructure."

This means that the dinar, backed by foreign currency, comes from oil revenues. He considered the policy of devaluing the dinar to be dangerous and not easy, while the state is constantly working to raise and improve the value of the dinar, not to devalue it. 8-14-2025 Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: More nasty rumors by Iranian-backed politicians. They're saying Iraq is going to devalue the dinar to the dollar. Saleh is saying this is not true.

This will enhance the confidence of correspondent banks and global financial institutions and protect it from the risks of international sanctions." 8-13-2025 Sandy Ingram Excellent news...found in the mainstream western media. What this means is global investors are watching Iraq more closely than ever. This information is crucial and it's excellent good news for IQD investors. 5-year development plan for 2024-2028 numbers are seriously eye popping. 710 trillion Iraqi dinars in total projected revenue. That's roughly $542 billion. Oil revenues alone are expected to rake in about $482 billion of that. What's really interesting is the $60 billion estimated from non-oil sectors...Iraq wants to break away from its heavy dependence on oil and build a stronger, more balanced economy. What caught my eye is how this plan is making international headlines. Iraq is ready to step into a new era of growth. If you're an investor looking for the next big opportunity, Iraq might just be the place to watch.

Of course they're angry. They don't have the power they used to have to steal your money from the CBI. They can't steal it from contracts...your businesses in the black market. They are beyond angry.
