Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... Direct From The SANDBOX Report. The main stories are: -GOI: No Change In The Dinar ER Against The Dollar. -GOI Prepares The Draft 2027 Budget Law In Preparation For Submitting It To The Cabinet. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. FROM IRAQI SOURCES: Government Advisor: No Change In The Dinar ER Against The Dollar. ARTICLE: The financial advisor to the Iraqi PM, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, denied the existence of any plan or program by the Iraqi government to change the ER of the Dinar against the USD, stressing that this matter has not been discussed in any way. Salih said yesterday, Wednesday, in a press statement, that "the issue of the currency's value has not been discussed in any way," in response to rumors circulating about the possibility of changing the official ER of the Dinar against the USD. The Iraqi PM's advisor, Ali al-Zidi, pointed out that "recently, several official statements & declarations have been issued denying all claims about any discussion or intention to change the current ER of the Dinar." These statements come at a time when rumors about changing the official ER of the Dinar against the Dollar resurface periodically in the markets of Iraq & the Kurdistan Region. The ER of 100 US Dollars was fixed at 130,000 Iraqi Dinars in Iraq's 3-year Budget Law for the years 2023, 2024 & 2025. Iraq Resumes Cash Dollar Shipments - But Experts Downplay Their Impact On The Market! ARTICLE: The PM's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that Iraq has resumed receiving shipments of USD in cash, with each shipment amounting to approximately $500 million. He explained that the regularity of these shipments strengthens the stability of the parallel market, affirms Baghdad's commitment to int'l compliance standards, & contributes to narrowing the gap with the official ER, following a period of anxiety that accompanied regional developments. However, some experts believe that these shipments do not significantly impact the ER & that their previous suspension was more related to air transport issues than to any financial or political disputes. Salih told Al-Mada newspaper, "These cash Dollar shipments do not represent new funds, but rather are drawn from the CBI's reserves deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York & are allocated to cover travelers' needs." He added, "The percentage of cash Dollars does not exceed about 10% of total foreign transfers & each shipment amounts to approximately $500 million, which is sufficient to meet normal demand." He explained that “the regularity of these shipments is linked to Iraq’s full commitment to int'l compliance standards,” noting that “the CBI is among the most cooperative institutions with the US Federal Reserve & the UST Department in matters related to combating money laundering & terrorist financing.” He denied the validity of rumors about violations or exceptional restrictions imposed on Iraq. Saleh revealed that “transporting cash Dollars to Iraq is one of the most complex logistical operations, as it is carried out via private aircraft & under strict security & safety measures.” He explained that “these operations are executed according to precise arrangements that ensure the safety of the shipments until they reach the CBI.” He pointed out that “the continued arrival of cash Dollar shipments sends a positive signal to the parallel market & dispels rumors that disrupt the ER.” He considered that “increasing the level of certainty among traders gradually leads to a narrowing of the gap between the official rate of 1,320 Dinars per Dollar & the parallel market rate, because the sustainability of compliance & the regularity of shipments are among the most important factors for the stability of the exchange market in Iraq.” Saleh explained that “the Dollar, despite being part of Iraq’s reserves, remains subject to US monetary policy & laws as it is the currency of another country.” He clarified that “the US stipulates that its currency not be used in a manner that contradicts its foreign policy or national security, which requires countries dealing in Dollars to adhere to int'l compliance standards.” He added that “the decline in demand for cash Dollars during the past period coincided with the security conditions in the region, as questions were raised in the US about the continued need for shipments given the decline in travel, before supply operations returned to normal as Iraq continued to comply with int'l regulations.” Saleh pointed out that “the purchase of cash Dollars by travelers is currently subject to a comprehensive monitoring system through the FTR platform, which tracks int'l financial transfers & transactions. The data of each beneficiary is recorded accurately, including personal information & fingerprints, to prevent duplicate purchases or misuse of cash Dollars.” He explained that “each traveler receives $3,000 per month for each trip through Iraqi airports.” He added that “electronic financial transfers are already subject to strict international oversight through global banking systems, but cash Dollars require additional procedures due to the sensitivity of their circulation.” He explained that this “led to the adoption of advanced tracking systems that give Iraq a positive image before int'l institutions concerned with combating money laundering & the financing of terrorism.” Saleh believes that “the development of economic relations between Baghdad & Washington, especially the PM's upcoming visit to the US, will positively impact the level of trust between the two sides & contribute to the stability of financial transactions.” He considers that “an improved financial climate directly impacts the stability of the local market.” In a related context, specialists believe that linking these shipments to ER fluctuations, or interpreting their suspension as a crisis with the US, is not based on realistic data, but rather is related to air transport conditions & the security developments witnessed in the region. Economic expert Duraid al-Anzi told Al-Mada that "the cash Dollars shipped from the US have no bearing on the Iraqi market, neither influencing the Dollar's price nor its daily transactions. They do not enter the local market directly or indirectly because the incoming funds remain within the state's financial cycle & do not act as a tool to influence supply & demand within the markets." He pointed out that "the claims made recently about a problem between Baghdad & Washington due to the halt in shipments were not supported by any official indicators," expressing surprise at "the talk of a crisis without any statement or position from either the US or Iraq confirming its existence." He considered the "suspension of civilian air traffic in the region during the war to be the natural reason behind the delay in the arrival of the shipments." Al-Anzi added that "the resumption of dollar shipments coincided with the end of military operations & the resumption of air traffic," asking, "Were there any new meetings, understandings, secret communications, or political pressures? We haven't heard of anything of the sort." He concluded that "interpreting the resumption of shipments as a result of a political breakthrough with the US is an inaccurate reading of reality." He explained that “the funds arriving in Iraq are part of its oil revenues & reserves deposited with the US Federal Reserve & are transferred according to financial mechanisms that have been in place for years.” He clarified that “the shipping process is subject to continuous auditing & monitoring procedures and does not represent a new or exceptional financial resource.” Al-Anzi believes that “the recent increases in the Dollar ER are due to increased demand from entities seeking to smuggle funds, which has created an artificial supply & demand crisis within the parallel market.” He emphasized that “this crisis is fabricated & is not related to the suspension of cash Dollar shipments,” noting that “regional tensions, including talk of closing the Strait of Hormuz, were not sufficient on their own to cause these jumps in the ER.” He pointed out that “discussions about the value of the shipments should be understood within the context of government needs & that the funds are transported by private planes in periodic installments as requested, with the cost of transportation being one million Dollars, while transportation & insurance operations are subject to precise financial & logistical procedures.” He affirmed that “there is no fundamental change in the mechanism for supplying Iraq with Dollars.” He added that “the incoming funds are deposited into the accounts of the CBI & the government & are included in the General Budget,” while simultaneously warning that “a portion of these funds was previously subject to smuggling or misuse, which prompted the financial authorities to tighten control & tracking procedures.” He considered that “confronting this phenomenon represents the real challenge, not the regularity of Dollar shipments themselves.” Al-Anzi explained that “the stability of the Iraqi market will not be achieved simply by the arrival of Dollar shipments, but rather requires addressing the internal imbalances that fuel the parallel market, tightening control over the movement of funds & combating corruption & smuggling networks.” He emphasized that “cash Dollars are more closely linked to the Budget & its allocations than to the activity of the local market & that what happened during the past period was essentially a result of the suspension of civil aviation, not a result of political or financial disputes with the US.” Minister Of Finance: We Are Continuing To Prepare The Draft 2027 Budget Law In Preparation For Submitting It To The Cabinet. ARTICLE: Finance Minister Faleh al-Sari confirmed on Tuesday that the ministry is continuing to prepare the draft Federal Budget Law for 2027, in preparation for submitting it to the Council of Ministers & then referring it to the Council of Representatives in the coming period. A ministry statement indicated that "the Parliamentary Finance Committee, chaired by MP Uday Awad and attended by its members & a number of members of other parliamentary committees, hosted Finance Minister Faleh al-Sari & senior ministry officials today to discuss the financial & economic situation & the mechanisms for preparing the Draft Federal Budget for 2027." The statement added that "at the beginning of the meeting, the committee chairman welcomed the Finance Minister & senior officials, emphasizing the importance of strengthening cooperation & coordination between the legislative & executive branches to ensure the integration of roles in legislation & oversight & to contribute to improving institutional performance." The head of the Finance Committee affirmed, according to the statement, that "the committee is committed to supporting & enacting laws that contribute to addressing financial challenges, developing non-oil resources & enhancing the state's financial sustainability. " The statement continued, "During a meeting held at its headquarters, the Finance Committee listened to a detailed explanation of the country's financial & economic situation, with an emphasis on implementing appropriate solutions through legislation that ensures economic stability." The Minister of Finance praised the Finance Committee's role in preparing the General Budgets & exercising its oversight function, as well as its contribution to enacting laws related to financial & economic affairs. He explained that "the ministry has set a number of priorities, foremost among them the automation of the ministry's operations, the establishment of a specialized body & the adoption of a gradual transition from line-item budgeting to program-based budgeting." Al-Sari indicated that "the 2027 budget proposal includes a phased plan for implementing program & performance-based budgeting, starting with a number of governorates as a pilot program, to be gradually expanded to include all of Iraq's governorates." He reviewed the ministry's plan to repay public debt by reorganizing dealings with banks affiliated with the ministry, which will contribute to reducing the debt burden, enhancing financial stability & supporting. The statement continued, "The meeting discussed mechanisms for maximizing public revenues & activating the ASYCUDA system, which contributes to raising the efficiency of customs administration & increasing state resources. It also explored the possibility of amending several related laws & working to establish a development fund & an energy fund to boost revenues & support the public treasury." The meeting concluded with extensive discussions among committee members regarding financial & economic matters, emphasizing the importance of adopting solutions & procedures that achieve the public interest & enhance financial & economic stability in the country, in addition to finding appropriate solutions for the issue of contracts & daily wages.

Here's an article/with video of Dinarian interests... -Major Signal Before IQD Revaluation? Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. DINAR DEN: Major Signal Before IQD Revaluation? ARTICLE: For years, the economic narrative in Iraq has been dominated by “Dollarization”—a trend where local citizens preferred holding USD over their own nat'l currency. This preference was rooted in a decade-long struggle with the Iraqi dinar’s (IQD) instability & relatively low value. However, a significant shift is currently unfolding on the ground. Recent reports indicate that Iraqi citizens are now actively exchanging their USD back into Iraqi Dinars, signaling a potential turning point for the nation’s financial landscape. In a recent analysis, Stephen—a prominent voice in the currency investment community & host of The Dinar Den—dived into this phenomenon. Having tracked the Iraqi Diinar since 2011, Stephen suggests that this reversal of behavior is more than just a market fluctuation; it may be a critical precursor to a long-awaited revaluation of the currency. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence for this shift is the movement in the parallel market ER. Historically, the gap between the official rate & the street rate has been a source of economic friction. Recent data highlights that the Dinar is regaining ground, moving from previous lows toward a more stable range of approximately 151,000 to 152,000 Dinars per $100 USD. This movement suggests improving demand &, more importantly, a restoration of trust. When the general public begins to divest from foreign cash in favor of their local currency, it reflects a grassroots belief that the Dinar’s value is either stabilizing or positioned for future growth. For analysts like Stephen, this behavioral change is a fundamental requirement for any significant currency adjustment. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) is playing a pivotal role in this transition. The video highlights the CBI’s commitment to a new, modernized financial system. This isn’t just about printing money; it’s about a comprehensive overhaul of how Iraq handles value. These reforms are designed to build domestic & int'l confidence. By creating a transparent & technologically advanced banking sector, the CBI is laying the groundwork necessary for the Dinar to eventually strengthen on the official global stage. The timing of these market shifts is no coincidence. Iraq’s economic trajectory is deeply intertwined with its int'l relationships. The video points to the significance of high-level diplomatic visits, including Iraqi leadership’s engagements in the US. These meetings often involve coordination with heavyweights like the UST & the Int'l Monetary Fund (IMF). Such int'l support is crucial for unlocking reserves & establishing the robust regulatory frameworks required for a stable currency. By aligning Iraqi banking standards with int'l requirements, the government is positioned to better manage its oil wealth & stabilize its domestic market. While the current momentum is undeniably positive, Stephen emphasizes the importance of realistic expectations. A formal revaluation (RV) of the Iraqi Dinar is a complex geopolitical & economic event. It is widely believed that such a move requires a fully stable & operational government, free from the friction that has historically slowed legislative progress. As the Iraqi administration continues its diplomatic outreach & domestic reform, the pieces of the puzzle appear to be falling into place. However, as with any major economic shift, there is no definitive timeline. The transition from a Dollar-dependent economy to a Dinar-centric one is a process, not an overnight event. The recent trend of Iraqis exchanging Dollars for Dinars marks a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery. It represents a shift from fear to confidence & from instability to structural reform. ‘ For those following the Iraqi Dinar, these developments suggest that the nation is moving into a more active phase of its financial evolution.

Here's an article/with video of Dinarian interests... Will The Dinar Revalue This Summer? Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. The Dinar Den: Will The Dinar Revalue This Summer? ARTICLE: In the complex world of exotic currency investment, few assets have garnered as much long-term interest as the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) & the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Recently, Stephen & Guy, two seasoned veterans of the “Dinar Den” with over a decade of experience, shared a comprehensive update regarding the shifting economic landscape in Iraq. Their discussion points to a significant acceleration in political & financial reforms, suggesting that the nation is positioning itself for a major shift in its global economic standing. One of the primary catalysts for the current optimism among investors is the aggressive push for internal reform within the Iraqi government. Stephen & Guy highlight the appointment of a new CBI Gov specifically tasked with an anti-corruption mandate. This shift in leadership has been accompanied by high-profile arrests of corrupt officials, signaling a “cleaning of the house” that is necessary for Iraq to integrate more fully into the int'l financial system. By addressing systemic graft, the Iraqi government is building the transparency & credibility required to attract foreign investment & stabilize its domestic economy. A critical piece of the puzzle discussed in the video is the long-awaited Hydrocarbon Law (HCL). This legislative action is pivotal because it dictates how Iraq’s massive oil revenues are distributed among its various regions & provinces. For investors, the imminence of the HCL is a major indicator of progress. Stephen & Guy emphasize that the finalization of this law would signify a stabilized internal agreement on the country’s most valuable resource, potentially acting as a precursor to a revaluation (RV) of the currency. The movement on this front suggests that Iraq is moving past legislative gridlock & toward a unified economic policy. Beyond internal politics, the video explores Iraq’s strategic position in a turbulent region. The ongoing complexities regarding regional stability & the influence of neighboring countries like Iran play a significant role in the timing of economic shifts. Stephen & Guy discuss how Iraq is leveraging its unique geopolitical position to capitalize on broader global needs for liquidity & energy security. They touch upon themes of wealth & power, suggesting that the integration of the Iraqi Dinar into the global market is not just a local event but part of a larger, evolving financial narrative that many observers believe is a matter of “when,” not “if.” Perhaps the most valuable portion of the discussion for current holders of the Dinar is the focus on preparation & strategy. Stephen & Guy stress that if a revaluation occurs, the “how” of the exit strategy is just as important as the event itself. They advise investors to remain grounded & avoid impulsive decisions. This includes practical steps such as seeking out reputable local banks rather than high-fee currency exchange venues & learning how to negotiate rates effectively. By planning strategically now, investors can avoid costly mistakes & ensure they manage their assets with a focus on long-term stability. The overarching message from the Dinar Den is one of cautious optimism backed by due diligence. While the news coming out of Iraq is increasingly reliable & frequent, the hosts remind their audience to stay informed & rely on verified intelligence. The transformation of a nat'l economy is a massive undertaking & while the signs of an approaching RV are compelling, the importance of patience & strategic planning cannot be overstated. For those looking to dive deeper into the specific intelligence & geopolitical analysis shared by Stephen & Guy, the full video is available on The Dinar Den YouTube channel. It serves as a vital resource for anyone looking to understand the intersection of Iraqi politics, global finance & the potential future of exotic currencies.

Ross: The Revaluation Of The IQD is Unfolding Right Now. ARTICLE: IQD RV clearly cooking. May take a while longer but at least you get to witness real progress unfolding on a d**n near daily basis. Channel 8 English: Gov of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Nizar Nasser Hussein, met on Wednesday with the Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Iraq, Joshua Harris, to discuss bilateral cooperation, banking reforms & efforts to strengthen financial & monetary stability in Iraq. Read More: RIP OPEC. Called it. What an IQD RV BANGER! Hadley Gamble:EXCLUSIVE* interview with Iraq’s new PM in Baghdad. He tells me: US companies will be given top priority investing in Iraq 500k bpd of Iraqi oil will go toward replenishing the US SPR Iraq will consider “suspending” its membership in OPEC if barred from producing in line with with their capabilities Corruption will be “suffocated” Militias will be disarmed by September 30th with departure of last US troops. We are in a lightning-speed prerequisite knock-out phase for the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. Change My Mind: One of the most important prerequisites for Iraq’s economic stability — & the revaluation of the IQD — is unfolding right now. Either OPEC allows Iraq to produce what it can & prosper… or Iraq walks. Iraq is still under compensation cuts for past overpumping. Revenue is already taking hits from the regional conflict. Leaving OPEC = end of those forced cuts. Higher output. Instant revenue upside. Budget relief. Salaries & stability funded by oil — not borrowing. PM Al-Zaidi’s mid-July WH visit just raised the stakes. You are literally watching this finally happen in real-time. Enjoy The Show: “Iraq is the next target after the UAE!” Remember if Iraq leaves OPEC, instant Budget surplus, stability, salaries paid, etc. 90% of their Budget is oil. Watch for the headline. With the new PM’s focus on the economy in partnership with the WH, Iraq will soon be open for business. IQD RV Stage Is Set. Iraqi News: By-By OPEC. ARTICLE: Iraq is reportedly weighing a proposal to exceed OPEC production limits to offset revenue losses caused by the regional war with Iran. Sources say if OPEC rejects Iraq's request for a higher quota, Baghdad may follow the UAE & withdraw from the organization to freely increase output. A decision could come after Iraqi PM Ali Al-Zaidi's planned Washington visit in mid-July. Majeed KSA: The Iraqi Dinar Needs to Rise Before Visit to D.C. ARTICLE: The new PM in Iraq is the right man for the job. Summary Of The News For The Past Two Days: -ASYCUDA goes live July 10 for digital custom trading. -Iraq is going digital on July(no specific day, but it could be July 10 or before). -Within two weeks starting from July 1, the Cabinet in Iraqi Parliament will be fulfilled. -The new PM will visit Washington in the middle of July & he’ll take a lot of businessman with him to Trump. -The PM announced no more hostile environment between Iraq & US, because it’s time for prosperity & making more money between both countries. -The PM gave the first priority to American companies to rebuild Iraq. -The new PM wants Starlink & other American technologies to build the digital infrastructure in Iraq. My Personal Opinion: That Iraqi Dinar needs to raise before his visit to Washington DC, because he’ll need the rate to be on Forex & for the currency to be traded freely with other currencies… in order for them to discuss money & businesses/partnerships. Ariel: People Will Still Try To Say Nothing Is Happening. ARTICLE: One of these men who were among the 15 arrested were blocking the currency revaluation. Ziad Al-Janabi. He along with others were Blocking stricter AML controls & HCL (Hydrocarbon Law) finalization kept the leaks open. Most of them had American bank accounts. These were common insurance policies by parking proceeds abroad in anticipation of any major rate adjustment or crackdown that could expose domestic holdings. PM al-Zaidi’s mid-July Washington visit is the capstone. US economic backing, tighter Treasury compliance, Starlink backbone for real-time monitoring, HCL progress to lock oil revenue & the new Gov’s AML DNA all converge. This isn’t coincidence. It’s the infrastructure for a managed strengthening: clean books, transparent rails, gold collateral (170+ tons stacked for a reason) & digital cashless mandates by early July so the old cash-&-smuggle economy dies. And People Will Still Try To Say Nothing Is Happening: This is why the process felt glacial every step had to be surgically clean or the old networks would arbitrage the chaos. People get frustrated because they want the lottery ticket tomorrow, but this is structural surgery on a patient that was bleeding out for decades. Starlink gives the connectivity so remote oil fields & ministries can’t hide transactions. The AML Gov enforces it. HCL stabilizes the revenue backbone. Gold provides the sound money anchor. Washington backing via al-Zaidi’s visit seals the international legitimacy. Mario Nawfal: Heavy Arrests REPORTED Inside The Iraqi capital, Green Zone, Today: ARTICLE: The Purge Has Started. Bahaa Al-Nouri – Ziad Al-Janabi – Muthanna Al-Samarrai – Alaa Sukkar – Mohammed Al-Karbouli – Hassan Al-Khafaji – Abdul Karim Al-Sudani – Abbas Al-Sudani - Mohammed Al-Sayhoud. MIA Maliki - the the most corrupt of the corrupt. NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION YET, but nonetheless, the PURGE under new PM Ali al-Zaidi is clearly intensifying. Source: @alrougui / Writer: Claudio

Here's an article of Dinarian interests... This Is BIG News From The CBI. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Mohammed Ali: This Is BIG News From The CBI. ARTICLE: The post below was on another Dinar site & I attached the link & the full intel for everyone's reference. I was first alerted to this news by my friend, Mike The Dinarian. He's always on top of all the Iraq news & usually sends me anything that stands out. And this post definitely stands out. I will continue my perspective on it, below the post. Walkingstick: the CBI has told us that all banks in Iraq are going to receive the 50,000 & the 100,000 freshly printed bills...The reason for it is because the CBI is now lessening the amount of 10k & 25k notes in the inventory of Iraqi banks. They want to get more of the three zeros...the CBI is sending 50k & 100k notes only to be used from bank to a bank. Each bank is getting a different specific amount. Each bank must send to the CBI in return either 4 - 25K notes or 10 - 10K notes. We [Walkingstick's firm] have not received them yet. Some banks have. We believe we will be next. They are only to be used from bank to bank not for circulation. The 50k & 100K are not to be introduced to the citizens. They are to introduce the small category notes when told on their schedule. This is being used to remove the three zeros notes from the banks not to draw them in - that was already done... OK here we go. There are many aspects of this post but what particularly interests me is the 50,000 & 100,000 being used for Bank to Bank transactions. Let me give you an example, here is a picture of a 1934 100,000 USD Federal Reserve Gold Certificate bank note. For many, you probably didn't know the U.S. had a 100,000 bank note. Well they did. The $100,000.00 Gold Certificate was used for bank to bank transactions, and was never intended to be held by the public nor was it legal for an individual to own one. This $100,000.00 is a Series 1934. All Series 1934 gold certificates were issued only to banks and were not available to the public. The Series 1934 gold certificates are also distinguished from the previous gold certificates in their gold clause, which adds the phrase "as authorized by law" to denote that these notes cannot be legally held by private individuals. The total print run for the original $100,000.00 Gold Certificate was 42,000 pieces, all but a few of them have been destroyed. Only a few specimens of these Series 1934 gold certificates survive today, in the Smithsonian & Federal Reserve Bank Museums. I am a numismatist and collecting bank notes and coins has been a hobby of mine since 1995, so this is where I was first introduced to these large bank notes. Alright so now let me explain why this is significant in relation to the above intel from Walkingstick. These U.S. 100,000 notes were only used for transactions between banks. Today, transactions between bank to bank are generally settled digitally, so these large denomination notes are obsolete. However, in some countries transactions between banks are still being practiced using notes, as in our case, of Iraq. What is important to understand and realize is ONLY very large denomination size notes are used to settle bank to bank transactions. Now getting back to Iraq, We know that the 50,000 Dinar note was introduced in 2015 & was introduced at the public level. Since then the CBI has been pulling these notes from the streets & what got me very excited in Walkingstick's intel is that these notes along with the 100,000 notes will be used for Bank to Bank ONLY transactions. So if we apply a little logical reasoning. We can ask, how can the 50,000 note, used by the general public one moment & be used thru bank to bank transactions, the next moment? Especially when I said, ONLY very large denomination size notes are used between Bank to Bank. Particularity when the value has not changed...YET. At the present rate of 0.0008, Iraq would have to use even larger size notes, something like a 1,000,000 Dinar note but they are not, it was stated that they will use the 50,000 & 100,000 notes, so in order for this to happen they MUST raise the value of the Dinar by Re-instating it to $4. So, let me just clarify my point, it is illogical that the 50,000 note at present value be used to handle banks very large settlements, there has to be a sizeable or substantial gap variation for it to make sense. For example in the case of the 1934 $100,000 note used for bank to bank settlements, at that time the highest denomination for the public was $1,000 Dollars. Therefore a note size of $100,000 worked well. In the present case of Iraq the highest note size for the public is 50,000, so how can they use the same size to settle bank to bank transactions? This is where it is not logical. There is a missing factor here & that is the rate. The rate must be increased for it to be practical & by the sounds of it; it may be sooner than we think. So I hope that starts to excite you. Now the other thing that got me very excited about this intel is that during the years, we have learnt that the Project to remove the 3 zeroes has been to remove the large notes from circulation or from the hands of the citizens. And we have been told that 90% of the notes, inside Iraq, have been removed from circulation. This was confirmed again by Walkingstick when he said, "that was already done..." So it seems that the remaining 10,000 & 25,000 notes are in the banks. So, again, applying my sense of logic to this, it would appear the CBI is trading the 50,000 & 100,000 notes for the banks 10,000 and 25,000 notes at the same value. Swap for Swap, a Dinar for a Dinar. Therefore, in the bank's hands are 50,000 and 100,000 notes. But these notes are restricted for bank to bank settlements ONLY. You can see where this will start to become a problem, when the citizens come into the bank asking for withdrawals & banks say, sorry we have no money to give you. Panics will start and a whole new wave of issues will give rise; the citizens will start accusing the banks of cheating & fraud & the confidence level of the citizens to the banks will change in an instance. The CBI will need to act quickly to raise the value of the Dinar so as to prevent a bad situation to get more worst. I believe the CBI already has a time frame for collecting the remaining 10,000 & 25,000 notes from the banks & once the notes are back at the CBI, then PRESTO...the CBI will RI the Dinar and we will see the largest denomination size of the Iraq Dinar go to 1,000 Dinars & the 50,000 & 100,000 notes will become the logical choice for bank to bank transactions. Just an FYI side note here, as I am sure many people do not know this fact, but in Kuwait, did you know that the highest bank note size is 20 Dinar? That is one powerful currency. So for Iraq & Iran, once they increase in value & things start to stabilize in country, in time they will follow suite to Kuwait and you'll see them start dropping the 1,000 notes, then 500, then the 100 & 50. Now back to our logic flow & here's a new thought for you. We can conclude that at current the 50,000 IQD note can still be used for public transactions, since we have not seen any official announcements from the CBI that cancels the 50,000 note, from the public & that they will officially be used for bank to bank transactions. Once the value is raised, we may then see an announcement from the CBI. From the standpoint of the CBI, they need to remove the last bit of 10k & 25k notes from the banks, because if they were to RI the Dinar now, before removing the notes, some of the bank employees thru temptation, may steal the notes & run over the border to exchange them. Now, the 50,000 may become a question mark? How will the CBI handle this note? As it is now, the 50k notes are meant for public usage & if these notes are still in the banks when they RI, then the same bank employees may try to steal them & run over the border for exchanging. So it means to me, that the employees will either steal the 10k, 25k or 50k notes. If that's the case, then once the CBI does the RI to $4, they will immediately have to cancel the 50k notes, for public level, to prevent the bank employees from stealing the notes. If the 50k is ONLY designated as Bank to Bank, then even if they were to steal the notes, they won't be able to exchange it in any country of the world but thru an Iraqi bank to an Iraqi bank. So it would be a futile thought on the bank employee to steal. So what this means, is that, if anyone is holding the 50,000 IQD note now, do you need to be worried that you may not be able to get the chance to exchange it? I think the CBI may do a 2nd scenario on the 50,000 note & that is to make a new version of the note that would be intended for bank to bank transactions. Therefore, there would be 2 editions of the 50,000 note. The current one that was printed in 2015 & a new one for bank to bank. If the CBI does this, then it'll be a sign of relief for anyone holding the current 50,000 note. I believe this would be the choice as most of the 50,000 notes the CBI printed in 2015 should have already been collected from local circulation. Since Walkingstick said, "the CBI has told us that all banks in Iraq are going to receive the 50,000 & the 100,000 freshly printed bills". 'Freshly printed bills' are the keywords & this tells me that the CBI will in fact print, or have already printed, a new version of the 50,000 note. This means the 10,000, 25,000 & current 50,000 notes will all be exchangeable, let's hope so, as I also have a few of the 50,000 IQD notes. So aside from the matter on the 50,000 note. I believe that it's time to get our plans in order & be ready. It looks like the CBI will be ready to pull the trigger once they collect the remaining few of 10,000 & 25,000 notes which should not take long, as Walkingstick stated, "Some banks have [the 50k & 100k notes already]. So I hope my article has lifted your spirits after the stressful few days of the Iran-USA conflicts & I really believe that we are back on track & the RI is nearer to us now than ever before. Just a shout out to The Dinarian & a special thanks to Walkingstick, Frank & Delta for bringing us Iraq news in real-time. Thank you, Muhammad Ali

Here's an article of Dinarian interests... When We Least Expect It. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Ross: Controlled Chaos Is Iraq’s Catalyst To The IQD RV ARTICLE: Controlled chaos is Iraq’s #1 catalyst to RV the IQD. Reserves at 2.5x the required amount is fortress-level — one of the strongest fundamentals for a revaluation. Iraq market analysis. High-quality reserves give the CBI real ammunition to defend a new rate, manage imports & absorb shocks. The workaround is clean: Government routes support through state-owned banks into the CBI system. It’s the legal bridge that keeps central bank independence intact while delivering liquidity under pressure. This matters for IMF credibility & for any future tokenized Dinar rollout. The “Wealthy Country” message during Hormuz pain is strategic. It reminds everyone that Iraq’s oil wealth + massive reserves equal real staying power when the old system gets stress-tested. -Hormuz crisis = short-term revenue pain. -Long-term = global oil supply shock creates higher prices. When the strait eases or alternative routes come online, windfall revenues will supercharge reserves & fiscal space. Geopolitical Shocks Like This Historically Force The Exact Reforms An RV Needs: • Accelerated HCL passage sparking massive IOC investment & infrastructure. • Banking modernization + digital rails. • Reduced single-chokepoint vulnerability. These are the precise boxes for credible RV & integration into new tokenized systems. Iraq sits in a prime position as a first-basket currency in any reset. The man who stood at Ground Zero on 9**1 — who knew — is now the one forcing the controlled chaos that’s pushing Iraq’s financial reforms… Nearly 25 years later President Trump is the force of righteous karmic vengeance. No coincidences. Channel 8 English:Former Iraqi Deputy Finance Minister Fazil Nabi told reporters today that Iraq is “a wealthy country,” & although the government is prohibited from using the CBI’s currency reserves, the government can utilize them through state-owned banks & those banks in turn igate the financial impacts caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Economic Expert: The Priority Is Not The Strength Of The Dinar, But Securing Financial Liquidity. ARTICLE: On Saturday (June 6, 2026), economist Ziad Al-Hashemi commented on the statements of the PM’s advisors regarding the government’s measures to stabilize the value of the Iraqi Dinar and maintain its purchasing power, considering that the current timing is not appropriate for this economic discourse. Al-Hashemi said in a post on social media, which was followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the Iraqi PM’s office is talking about the government’s work to stabilize (the value of the Iraqi Dinar) & maintain its purchasing power,” indicating that “in general this approach is good & required in principle, but now is not the time to talk about the value of the Dinar or its purchasing power.” He added that "the critical problem now is not the value or strength of the Dinar, but rather the availability of the Dinar.

He pointed out that "the government was required to speak transparently & to tell the people the extent of the problem, what its emergency plan is to deal with the shortage of Dinar liquidity in its treasury & what its procedures are to provide the liquidity required to feed public finances during this month & the coming months." The economist explained: “As for talking about the value of the Dinar, its purchasing power & the inflation rate, this can be postponed to the future & after overcoming the current suffocating financial crisis that complicates the work of the Iraqi government & prevents it from performing its financial duties as it should,” stressing that “such statements about the value of the Dinar are appropriate for normal conditions & not in an exceptional emergency situation in which the government is suffering from a shortage of Dinars.” Saleh's Appearance: The 2027 Budget Enhances Fiscal Sustainability & Supports Economic Reform.

Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... The tops headlines are: -GOI preserves the purchasing power of the IQD-curbs inflation. -Raising the value of the IQD will not be a quick administrative Decission. -4 Important laws on the Parliamentary agenda after the recess. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. TNT via Tishwash: The PM's Advisor: Al-Zidi's Government Has Taken Measures To Preserve The Purchasing Power Of The Dinar & Curb Inflation. ARTICLE: The PM's Financial Advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed on Saturday that the government, headed by Ali Falih Al-Zaidi, has taken measures to preserve the purchasing power of the Iraqi Dinar & curb inflation. Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "the policy of stabilizing the official ER is based on a fundamental objective: protecting the external value of the nat'l currency & maintaining the stability of the General Orice Index." He pointed out that "the stability of the ER has contributed to strengthening confidence in the Iraqi Dinar & supporting the purchasing power of citizens." Salih added that "the relationship between the stability of the ER & the stability of prices of goods & services in the local market has remained strong, given the limited impact of the parallel market on the pricing system & the effectiveness of monetary policy." He explained that "financing imports through the official banking system & relying on the state's foreign reserves has contributed to providing imported goods at stable & controlled prices." He continued, stating that "government policies aimed at maintaining the stability of prices for public goods & services, along with the expansion of modern commercial distribution methods, particularly cooperative stores & advanced marketing models, have strengthened competition & contributed to reducing inflationary pressures & supporting price stability." Saleh explained that "among the most prominent factors putting pressure on the value of the nat'l currency are the decline in official reserves, uncontrolled monetary expansion & excessive reliance on oil revenues, which are currently subject to geopolitical constraints imposed on the freedom of energy markets, in addition to political & regional tensions & their impact on foreign currency flows & economic confidence." He emphasized that "raising the value of the Iraqi Dinar cannot be achieved through quick administrative decisions, but rather through a long-term reform process based on the stability of monetary & fiscal policies, diversification of nat'l income sources & strengthening confidence in the local currency." He noted that "the stability of the Dinar remains a direct reflection of the stability of the macroeconomy & its ability to withstand local & international changes, which is what the government is working on through a package of measures to strengthen the value of the Iraqi Dinar. These measures include working to enhance foreign reserves, diversify the nat'l economy & reduce dependence on oil, achieving stability in the balance of payments, as well as controlling the parallel market, reforming the banking system, expanding the use of electronic payment methods & promoting financial inclusion." Tishwash: Iraqi Government: Companies In The Kurdistan Region Must Get Their Final Financial Reports Approved in Baghdad. ARTICLE: A new decision by Baghdad creates problems for the foreign transfer process of companies in the Kurdistan Region, forcing them to pay taxes twice & register in the center. New Condition for Foreign TransfersStarting from June 1 of this year, the Iraqi government has imposed a new condition on companies in the Kurdistan Region. According to the decision, no company can carry out foreign transfers or send money through banks unless their final financial report (annual audit) is approved by the Iraqi Accountants & Auditors Association in Baghdad. This step comes alongside the implementation of the ASYCUDA system at the borders of the Region.Two Taxes & Two Reports. This decision places a heavy financial burden on companies in the Region, as they will now have to prepare their final financial reports twice. This means they must pay taxes twice — once to the Kurdistan Regional Government & once to the federal government in Baghdad. This significantly increases their operating costs.Marginalizing Accountants in the RegionAnother challenge of this decision is that banks will no longer accept approvals from legal accountants in the Kurdistan Region. Companies are now forced to register in Baghdad & only Iraqi (federal) accountants can approve their reports. Otherwise, their auditing & money transfer processes in banks will be disrupted. Kurdistan Delegation Visit to Baghdad To resolve this issue and discuss the implementation of the ASYCUDA system, a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government is scheduled to visit Baghdad in the coming days. The goal of the delegation is to address these new obstacles & find solutions to prevent further damage to companies & traders in the Kurdistan Region. Tishwash: Miles Caggins: Oil Companies Want Guarantees. ARTICLE: Miles Caggins, spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Petroleum Industry Association (Epicur). The former spokesman of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said that the main reason for the non-resumption of oil production companies in the Kurdistan Region was security threats & drone & missile attacks. Companies Were At Risk: Miles Caggins, in an exclusive interview with Channel 8, said that recently after the ceasefire between Iran & the US & the calm of the war situation, companies resumed operations secretly, but again the companies were attacked, so they stopped working. Guarantee Operational Security: He said the companies have clearly told the relevant authorities that they will not resume work until the security of their work is guaranteed. Debt Is Still Debt & Has Not Been Repaid: Regarding the $1 billion debt of the companies, which was agreed between the Iraqi government & the Kurdistan Regional Government, the former spokesman of Epicor said: "So far, the debt has not been recovered, but the companies have not made this the main problem. Resumption Of Corporate Operations: In a meeting between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) delegation & Iraqi PM Ali Zaydi, he called on the oil companies to resume operations & promised to implement their demands. Tishwash: Parliamentary Defense Committee: 4 Important Laws On The Parliamentary Agenda After The Recess. ARTICLE: The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee confirmed on Thursday that 4 important laws will be discussed & undergo their 1st & 2nd readings after the end of the parliamentary recess. Committee member MP Yasser Watout told Al-Maalomah, “Four important laws will be discussed & undergo their 1st & 2nd readings, leading to a vote, after the end of the parliamentary recess, that is, after July 1st.” He added that “the most prominent of these laws concerns amending the law governing the service of the Internal Security Forces, in addition to other equally important laws.” He pointed out that “the Security & Defense Committee is serious about finalizing these laws & expediting the necessary procedures & amendments in order to complete the 1st & 2nd readings & proceed to a vote.” Watout emphasized that “these laws are of great importance in guaranteeing the rights of members of the security & military forces,” explaining that “the proposed amendments will take into account all opinions, including those of security leaders, to ensure the enactment of more effective & efficient laws.” Tishwash: MP: The Session To Complete al-Zaydi's Cabinet Will Be Held Soon & The Same Names Will Not Return. ARTICLE: MP Mohammed Karim Al-Baldawi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed on Thursday that there is an agreement to hold a session of the House of Representatives in order to complete the vote on the remaining ministerial lineup of PM Ali Falih Al-Zidi’s government. Al-Baldawi told Al-Maalouma that "the political blocs are moving towards replacing the previous names nominated for the nine ministerial portfolios, and presenting new figures who are suitable for the requirements of the stage and to fill the vacant positions." He added that "through this approach, the parties seek to give themselves & society a greater sense of reassurance by putting forward new names that enjoy wider acceptance." Regarding the coordination framework, Al-Baldawi stressed that it is “strong & cohesive despite the existence of differing viewpoints on some contentious issues among its components,” indicating that “the framework represents the backbone of the political process & whoever bets on influencing its unity is mistaken & everyone must work to preserve it.” He pointed out that “weakening the coordination framework means weakening the entire political system in the country.” Political circles are awaiting the scheduling of a session to complete the vote on the cabinet of Ali Faleh al-Zaidi's government, aiming to resolve the dispute that arose from the previous session. This dispute stemmed from political accusations leveled against Speaker of Parliament Haibat al-Halbousi, alleging he deliberately obstructed the approval of certain ministerial nominees and prevented them from being presented for a vote of confidence.

Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... The headlines are: -Iran-Iraq currency update. -Middle East Conflict: Increase Pressure On Global Finance. Treat as rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Overview. ARTICLE: Iran & Iraq Update: Progressive Operations For The Republic Restoration. Iraqi Dinar Overview: Surface narratives claim stability at ~1,300 IQD per USD with no major shift planned, citing CBI Budgets & minor fluctuations. This of course ignores compartmentalized mechanics. The official rates serve budgetary theater while parallel rails (offshore trusts, sovereign wealth vehicles & tokenized testing) prepare for phased redenomination & backing adjustments. Just so we are clear on this. The skeptics overlook documented post-invasion currency swaps (2003-2011) where dinar holdings among US-linked entities created vested interests. The 2024 Politico framing on Dollar devaluation under trade pressures aligns with accelerated timelines engineered weakening forces asset migration into hard commodities & reformed currencies. Iraq’s full digital mandate by July 2026 (cashless government institutions via CBI directive) is not mere modernization; it clears legacy paper for blockchain/ISO 20022 integration, enabling gold-pegged or commodity-hybrid settlement without public devaluation panic. So this should give you all a clue as to how this is going to go. Space Force & aligned DIA/SOCOM elements monitor global settlement integrity, including orbital data relays for transaction verification. Fort Knox audits (pushed via executive and congressional vectors) verify physical gold collateral to backstop any reset critical as European Central Bank data confirms gold surpassing UST as primary reserve asset (~27% share end-2025 vs. declining Treasury holdings). This supports return to sounder mechanisms where Dinar transitions from fiat proxy to regionally backed instrument. Under-the-table dealings involve cutouts in Gulf sovereign funds & select UST alumni coordinating non-SWIFT rails. Iraq seeks independent nat'l currency strength to exit Dollar dependency in oil exports, accelerated by BRICS+ hedging & reduced Iranian influence channels. Please understand this one thing. Trump’s team zeroed in on Iraq’s financial flows early on because of oil revenue recycling, Iranian influence channels & broader De-Dollarization risks. Those pauses on US currency shipments to Iraq (hitting around $500 million tied to oil proceeds) weren’t random they were pressure tools to curb militia funding routes & force cleaner monetary policy in Baghdad. This wasn’t headline-grabbing stuff, but it signaled a focus on stabilizing Iraq’s currency mechanics as leverage in regional cleanup. Fast-forward to the current term & the same threads persist: using dollar access as a carrot/stick while watching Iraq’s push to stand up its own stronger nat'l currency backbone. Middle East Conflict, Rising Oil Prices & Digital Currency Debates Increase Pressure On Global Finance. ARTICLE: Escalating geopolitical risks and accelerating discussions around digital money are exposing vulnerabilities within the existing financial system. Overview: Today's economic landscape is being shaped by two powerful forces: renewed instability in the Middle East affecting global energy markets & growing efforts by governments & central banks to modernize payment systems through digital currencies & stablecoin regulation. While global stock markets remain near record highs, underlying risks tied to energy security, inflation, sovereign debt & monetary transformation continue to build beneath the surface. Key Developments: 1. OECD Warns Prolonged Middle East Conflict Could Slow Global Growth. The OECD warned today that an extended conflict involving Iran and the broader Middle East could significantly reduce global economic growth while pushing inflation higher. Under its more severe scenario, global growth could fall to 2.1% in 2026, while inflation accelerates due to disruptions in energy supplies and trade routes. 2. Oil Prices Continue Rising on Iran Uncertainty. Oil prices moved higher for a third consecutive day as negotiations between the US & Iran remain stalled. Markets remain concerned that any disruption involving the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy corridors, could trigger additional inflationary pressures & disrupt global supply chains. 3. Central Banks Face Growing Digital Currency Pressure. Debates surrounding digital currencies intensified as policymakers in Europe & the UK discussed the future of stablecoins & central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). European Central Bank officials argued that projects such as the Digital Euro may become increasingly important as governments seek to maintain monetary sovereignty in a rapidly evolving digital payments environment. 4. Stablecoin Regulation Emerges as Strategic Financial Issue. UK lawmakers urged regulators to soften proposed restrictions on stablecoins, warning that excessive regulation could hinder innovation & limit competitiveness. The debate highlights the growing importance of stablecoins as governments attempt to balance innovation with financial stability concerns. 5. Interest Rate Expectations Remain Elevated. Strong labor market data and persistent inflation concerns have led investors to scale back expectations for rapid interest-rate cuts. Rising bond yields & tighter monetary conditions continue to place pressure on highly leveraged governments, corporations, and consumers worldwide. Why It Matters: The combination of geopolitical instability, energy market vulnerability, elevated debt levels & digital monetary innovation is creating conditions that could reshape the future structure of global finance. Governments & central banks are increasingly forced to manage multiple systemic risks simultaneously. Why It Matters To Foreign Currency Holders: Rising energy prices can create significant currency volatility. Digital currencies and stablecoins may influence future cross-border payment systems. Higher interest rates could pressure debt-heavy economies & alter capital flows. Implications For The Global Reset: Pillar 1: Energy Security and Monetary Stability. Persistent instability in key energy-producing regions demonstrates how closely inflation, interest rates & geopolitical events have become interconnected within the modern financial system. Pillar 2: Transition Toward Digital Finance. The accelerating focus on stablecoins, digital currencies, and tokenized financial infrastructure suggests that major economies are actively preparing for the next phase of monetary evolution. Closing Insight: Today's developments highlight a world economy balancing between old & new systems. Traditional challenges such as war, inflation & debt remain significant, while digital currencies & financial innovation are steadily transforming how money & commerce may function in the future. This is not simply a period of economic uncertainty—it is the intersection of geopolitical risk and monetary transformation shaping the next era of global finance.

Here's an article of Dinarian interests... Short - Sweet & To The Point. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. TNT via Tishwash: Former MP: The Government Faces 2 Paths: Borrowing Or Raising The ER. ARTICLE: Former member of the parliamentary finance committee, Abdul Hadi Mouhan, confirmed that the new government faces 2 paths: either external borrowing or increasing the ER domestically in order to increase revenues under the current circumstances. Mohan told Al-Maalomah, "There are 2 paths for the new government led by Ali Al-Zidi to ensure the securing of expenses, especially operational ones, by moving towards external borrowing, which is the most dangerous path that Iraq will face if it goes in this direction." He added that "the 2nd path that the government may resort to in order to increase its revenues is to go towards raising the ER, which is the least dangerous path compared to going towards external borrowing, which is a double-edged sword for Iraq." He indicated that "the government will most likely move towards raising the ER in the upcoming Budget in order to address the existing inflation & the deficit in the Federal Budget & to ensure that the economic situation does not collapse."

Here's some articles of RV-RI interests... Will Viet Nam, Thailand & Morocco RV-RI Before Iraq. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. KTFA via Henig: IMO: The Currency Of Thailand-The Baht-Exchanges At $0.032. ARTICLE: Vietnam’s digital economy grows, national GDP may overtake Thailand’s. Vietnam’s digital economy reached $39 billion in gross merchandise value in 2025, growing 17 percent, the 2nd‑highest rate in Southeast Asia. However, Minister of Science & Technology Nguyen Manh Hung noted that much of the 2025 digital economy still centered on digitizing existing processes rather than creating new digital‑native business models. Heavy reliance on foreign platforms and limited SME integration into digital supply chains continued to constrain domestic value creation. Experts highlighted the need for stronger foundations. Director of the National Data Center, Maj. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Cuong, stressed that accurate, standardized & continuously updated population data is vital for secure & scalable digital services, according to a report from Vietnam Net. Sectors such as e‑commerce, digital finance, health & education depend on robust electronic identification systems to prevent fraud & build trust. When combined with AI and Big Data, such data can generate economic value far beyond its initial use, according to the director. Industry leaders also called for targeted policy support. Dr Pham Tuan Anh recommended government‑led hubs for green & digital transformation, incentives for FDI tied to local tech adoption & deeper supply chain integration to strengthen domestic firms. Le Hong Viet of FPT Smart Cloud proposed public–private partnerships to expand national computing capacity & create a shared “factory” for research & development that’s accessible to all sectors. This comes as Vietnam may score a major coup in surpassing Thailand in economic size, as measured by nominal GDP, per a report from International Business Times. Rapid growth combined with state-led infrastructure investment could see Vietnam become ASEAN’s 2nd largest economy, behind Indonesia. Digital ID System For All Real Estate Assets Under New nat'l Decree: Vietnam has issued a new regulation establishing a unified digital identification framework for all real estate assets. Beginning March 1, every real estate property will be issued a digital ID code, according to Vietnam Net. The measure is set out in Decree 357/2025/ND‑CP & creates a centrally managed nat'l information system & database for housing and the real estate market. The government says the system will ensure consistent data standards nationwide while improving transparency & state oversight. A core aspect of the decree is the introduction of electronic identification codes for every real estate product in Vietnam. Under Clause 5, Article 3, each property — whether an apartment, standalone house, or unit within a construction project — will receive a unique digital ID of up to 40 alphanumeric characters. For residential properties, the ID is generated automatically using key data groups: land parcel identifier; project or construction code; location code (where applicable); a system‑generated sequence of characters. Local Departments of Construction will assign these IDs when confirming a property’s eligibility for sale, including for off plan or future-completed housing. A similar structure applies to floor space units within buildings, with IDs created when feasibility studies for construction projects are approved. Condominium management boards, licensed real estate brokers, and beneficiaries of social housing support will also receive digital identifiers. The Ministry of Construction will manage the nat'l system, while provincial authorities will collect, update & maintain data within their jurisdictions. Access will be tiered, with organizations& individuals granted permissions to create, update or retrieve information based on authorization from state agencies.

Morocco is on the brink of a transformative economic reform as it prepares to transition to a floating ER for the Dirham by 2026. This historic move represents a strategic effort by the government to enhance the nation’s economic resilience, attract foreign investment & integrate more deeply into global financial markets. Badr Bouarich: Designed To Unlock Long-Term Growth, This Reform Brings With It Immediate Risks That Must Be Navigated With Precision, Requiring Robust Planning & Economic Stability. ARTICLE: Morocco is on the brink of a transformative economic reform as it prepares to transition to a floating ER for the Dirham by 2026. This historic move represents a strategic effort by the government to enhance the nation’s economic resilience, attract foreign investment, & integrate more deeply into global financial markets. Designed to unlock long-term growth, this reform brings with it immediate risks that must be navigated with precision, requiring robust planning & economic stability. Financial expert and former academic Badr Bouarich sheds light on the complexities of this transition. His insights highlight the critical challenges Morocco must address to safeguard its economy & the potential rewards that lie ahead if the reform is managed successfully. Key Challenges of Floating the Dirham: The shift to a floating ER, abandoning the current system of pegging the Dirham to the Euro & Dollar, comes with significant challenges. Bouarich identifies three key issues: inflation, external debt & currency volatility, each with far-reaching implications for Morocco’s economy. Inflationary Pressure: Morocco relies heavily on imports for essential goods, including oil, wheat & other staples. In 2023, Morocco imported approximately $12 billion worth of energy-related products & around $8.9 billion worth of food products (such as wheat and sugar), reflecting its dependency on external markets for critical supplies. A Weaker Dirham Could Significantly Increase The Costs Of These Imports: driving up consumer prices and eroding purchasing power. Inflationary effects could hit low-income households the hardest, exacerbating social inequalities. Bouarich warns that without targeted safety nets, these groups may face severe economic hardship. External Debt: Morocco’s external debt stood at approximately $69.2 billion as of late 2023, representing around 50% of GDP. A sharp depreciation of the Dirham could escalate debt servicing costs, strain public finances & divert resources away from vital development programs. In 2023, debt servicing costs reached $4.9 billion, a figure likely to increase with a weaker currency. This could undermine Morocco’s fiscal stability and its ability to maintain investor confidence in international markets. Bouarich emphasizes the importance of fiscal discipline& careful debt management to mitigate these risks. Currency Volatility: Floating currencies are subject to market-driven fluctuations, which could create uncertainty for businesses & investors. Sharp volatility episodes can deter foreign direct investment (FDI) & disrupt trade in the short term. Morocco’s FDI inflow in 2023 rose to $2.5 billion, reflecting a moderate increase compared to 2022. Sustaining or growing foreign investment will require robust financial safeguards. Financial institutions must be prepared to counter speculative attacks on the dirham, ensuring market stability during the transition. Strategic Mitigation Measures: To navigate these challenges, Morocco must adopt strategic measures that ensure economic stability while leveraging the benefits of a floating ER. Bank Al-Maghrib, the country’s central bank, will play a pivotal role in managing currency markets and intervening when necessary, while addressing structural issues, to prevent excessive fluctuations. These interventions will be critical to maintaining investor confidence& fostering a stable economic environment. Bouarich also highlights the importance of encouraging businesses, particularly those in the energy and commodity sectors, to adopt hedging strategies. These financial tools can protect companies from the adverse effects of both underlying asset & exchange rate volatilities, ensuring operational stability. Moreover, implementing regulations to cap distributor profits in essential sectors such as energy & food can help stabilize domestic markets & shield consumers from inflationary shocks. Learning from Global Experiences: Morocco’s approach to transition to a floating exchange rate stands out as a measured and proactive one. Bouarich contrasts this with Egypt’s experience in 2016, where a sudden, forced and unplanned flotation led to a steep devaluation of the Egyptian Pound, causing inflation to spiral out of control, reaching 30% by 2017. Egypt’s lack of preparation resulted in significant social & economic unrest. In contrast, Morocco has maintained stable foreign reserves, estimated at $36 billion in 2024, equivalent to nearly 6 months of import coverage. The country has additionally kept inflation under control at 1% as of end 2024. By learning from global experiences, Morocco can avoid the pitfalls encountered by others & implement a smoother, more effective reform. Boosting Export Competitiveness: One of the most promising benefits of a floating dirham is the potential to enhance Morocco’s export competitiveness. A weaker dirham could make Moroccan goods and services more affordable in international markets, benefiting industries such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing. Morocco’s exports of goods and services were valued at approximately $42.5 billion in 2023, and a competitive currency could further bolster this figure. However, Bouarich cautions that realizing these benefits will require continuous investments in infrastructure, logistics & workforce development. For instance, improving port facilities such as the Tanger-Med Port, which handles over 9 million containers annually & transportation networks can reduce export costs & improve efficiency, while upskilling the workforce can enhance productivity, innovation, quality & image. These complementary investments are essential to ensuring that the advantages of a floating ER translate into tangible economic growth. Conclusion & Next Steps: The transition to a floating ER for the dirham is a bold reform that represents both significant risks and transformative opportunities. Morocco’s success will hinge on its ability to maintain economic stability, protect vulnerable populations from inflationary pressures & foster confidence among investors & businesses. With careful planning, strategic interventions, and fiscal discipline, this reform has the potential to position Morocco as a competitive player in global markets. The Journey To A Floating Dirham Is Only Beginning: In the next article in this series, we will explore the critical role of communication, policy measures & stakeholder engagement in ensuring a smooth transition.

Here's ariel's two cents worth... I love where we are right now... Treat s a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Update: We Are On The Edge Of Life Changing Events. ARTICLE: I Love Where We Are Right Now. The statement from the Director of the Iraqi Observatory for Rights & Freedoms Adil Alkuzay urging rapid conversion of Dinar savings to Dollars or gold ahead of a potential “float” or sanctions, projecting devaluation to 170,000 IQD per $100 & then 200,000 carries the weight of a calculated warning, rooted in fears of uncontrolled devaluation rather than the planned redenomination, but it underscores the urgency swirling around Iraq’s monetary pivot. This isn’t the official CBI line; it’s a rights group’s alarm bell, reflecting grassroots anxiety over parallel market pressures & Iranian proxy influences that could exploit any delay pierced economic forums show similar whispers in Baghdad cafes since late December 2025, with black-market rates already edging toward 1,450 IQD/USD amid speculation. Historical precedents abound where similar “dump the currency” warnings surfaced right before major upward shifts or stabilizations, often misinterpreted as collapse signals but actually preceding government interventions that rewarded holders. In Kuwait’s 1990-1991 post-invasion period, black-market rumors of total Dinar worthlessness (with calls to swap for Dollars at pennies) peaked in early 1991, just months before the March 1991 revaluation & new note issuance that restored parity & punished panic sellers parallel to Iraq’s setup, where warnings flush hoarded Dinars into banks for traceability. Turkey’s 2005 six-zero lop saw 2004 warnings from economists urging Dollar conversions amid inflation fears, yet the redenomination stabilized the lira & boosted confidence, with late exiters losing on exchange fees while holders benefited from simplified transactions. Zimbabwe’s multiple redenominations (2006-2009) featured pre-event panics urging gold/Dollar swaps, but each lop aimed to curb hyperinflation without full collapse holders who stayed positioned for post-reform growth, a nuance lost on panic narratives. Venezuela’s own 2018 & 2021 zero-lops had similar pre-warnings of “float to zero,” driving Dollar flights that governments used to recapture liquidity before stabilizations Maduro’s fall now reverses this for Iraq’s allies, compressing timelines. These patterns repeat in emerging markets: alarmism peaks to create behavioral compliance, rewarding patient holders with the “new” rate’s advantages while punishing speculators Alkuzay’s post fits this mold, adding fuel to acceleration as public conversions bolster CBI reserves for an earlier launch.

Here's Ariel's two cents worth...Mar 31...a date to watch... In-Depth Projection of Iraq’s New Dinar ER Launch. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Update, Rounding Things off for Imminent Completion. ARTICLE: Iraqi Dinar Update: Rounding Things Off For Imminent Completion (Exciting Times For Us). Expanded Analysis on Iraq’s Projected Timeline for Int'l ER. In-Depth Projection of Iraq’s New Dinar ER Launch. The Projected Timeline for Iraq’s Int'l ER Deployment, reportedly locked in at March 31, 2026, isn’t just a date it’s the culmination of a seismic shift brewing beneath the surface of Baghdad’s financial corridors. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has been quietly welding together a framework to launch a redenominated Dinar, sheering off those burdensome three zeros to breathe new life into an economy long shackled by cash-heavy chaos & oil dependency. Backchannel whispers from the Green Zone, captured via live camera feeds, reveal a relentless push since the new parliament’s swearing-in on December 28, 2025, with U.S. Special Envoy Mark Savaya cracking the whip to align every gear. This isn’t some hopeful guesswork; it’s a calculated strike, fueled by exclusive info with banknote printing contracts & digital spine integrations racing toward completion. The global stage is set, with Syria’s recent two-zero redenomination on January 5, 2026, serving as a live test case that Iraq’s analysts are dissecting with hawk-like precision. March 31 emerges as the hard deadline, a moment where Iraq could pivot from a regional footnote to a forex powerhouse, but only if the pieces lock into place without a hitch. The stakes feel electric, with every move monitored by nations clutching IQD stacks, waiting to see if Baghdad can pull this off. The economic foundation supporting this timeline rests on rock-solid indicators that demand attention, especially after years of skepticism about Iraq’s fiscal resolve. Inflation’s dipped below 2% annualized, a rare breath of stability in a region prone to volatility, while gold reserves climb past 130 tons, offering a buffer that whispers confidence to int'l watchers. Foreign exchange reserves, hovering around $97 billion as of late 2025, cover import needs with room to spare, a stark contrast to the 2020 devaluation that slashed the Dinar’s value by 24% amid oil price crashes. The CBI’s simulations, leaked through defector channels, project a new rate of 1 new IQD = 1 USD, a bold leap that hinges on this 3-month window to prove its worth. Oil wealth, still the backbone with 5th-largest global reserves, fuels this ambition, but the real game-changer is the digital overhaul Phase III of the Unified Treasury Account nearing 95% integration by March 1, 2026. This isn’t just tech for tech’s sake; it’s the backbone that’ll hold the new rate steady against speculative sharks circling the forex waters. The establishment narrative of slow progress gets shredded here Iraq’s moving fast, & the data backs it up with unrelenting clarity. Digging into the exclusive intel, the subterranean machinations reveal a level of preparation that’s downright jaw-dropping if you’ve been paying attention to Iraq’s past stumbles. Swiss printing firms, contracted under a cloak of secrecy, are churning out new banknotes with biometric ink & holographic defenses, slated for delivery to Baghdad and Erbil vaults by February 15 details you won’t find in any public briefing. The ASYCUDA customs system, fully live at Umm Qasr by February 28, locks in pre-declaration protocols that scream for a stable benchmark, with drone footage showing smugglers already sweating under enhanced surveillance since December 20, 2025. Savaya’s fingerprints are all over this, with encrypted directives pushing forensic AI audits to map laundering networks by February 15, a move that ties directly to the rate’s success. Parliament’s Monetary Reform Committee, fast-tracked post-inauguration, targets March 15 for enabling laws, a deadline driven by Savaya’s backroom muscle flexing with tribal leaders. Speculation of course but it’s a machine humming with intent & the global silence on these moves only heightens the intrigue. The audacity of keeping this under wraps while the world watches Syria’s rollout shows Iraq’s playing a long game with precision. Google key words in title to bring up source.

URGENT: ER Change is imminent... Direct Fom The SANDBOX Report. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. FROM IRAQI SOURCES: Economist: Concerns About A Possible Change In The ER With The Formation Of New Government. URGENT: Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim believes there is anticipation & apprehension among the Iraqi public regarding a potential decision by the incoming government to change the ER of the Dollar against the Dinar. Abdul Karim stated, "Previous governments have altered the ER & this has negatively impacted the Iraqi people, particularly individuals & their cost of living." He added, "Changing the ER to devalue the Dinar means a general rise in prices, which is a source of concern for Iraqi citizens who have become accustomed to such decisions with the formation of new governments." He emphasized the urgent need for assurances from those leading the political process, or the largest bloc, clarifying the nature of the government's program for the upcoming phase: whether it includes a change in the Dinar's value against the Dollar or maintaining the current status quo.

Here's Jon Dowling's two cents worth... There Is An RV Process Going On. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Jon Dowling: There Is An RV Process Going On. ARTICLE WITH VIDEO: NESARA-GESARA Intel, November 2025. Have you ever felt that the world is on the cusp of a monumental shift? That beneath the surface of daily headlines, something profound is stirring in the realms of global finance, geopolitics & even human consciousness? A recent, fascinating fireside chat on the Jon Dowling podcast, featuring the insightful analyst known as SG ANON, ventured far beyond the typical news cycle to map out this very transition. The conversation wove together threads of economics, nat'l security & spiritual awakening into a compelling tapestry of what may lie ahead. For those seeking to understand the potential timelines & underlying mechanisms of this global transformation, the discussion was nothing short of revelatory. Let’s break down the key themes. A central topic was the long-anticipated revaluation of the Iraqi dinar. SG ANON contextualizes this not as an isolated event, but as a key component of a broader global economic reset. The timeline? He points strategically to the 2025 holiday season, extending into early 2026. This period is expected to coincide with the full integration of new, robust financial standards like ISO 20022—a global standard for payment messaging that increases transparency—& Basel III regulations, which strengthen bank capital requirements. The implementation of Project Aurora was also highlighted as a critical system designed to root out illicit financing, effectively creating a cleaner, more accountable global financial network. In this new environment, SG ANON anticipates a significant rise in the value of gold & silver. This isn’t presented as mere speculation, but as a logical outcome of shifting government fiscal policies, the end of wasteful spending & a move towards asset-backed currency value. The conversation also addressed the elephant in the room: significant market corrections. SG ANON predicts looming downturns in the stock market, cryptocurrency & real estate sectors. However, he frames this not as a doomsday scenario, but as a necessary & controlled demolition of unstable systems. This “reset” would be followed by aggressive stabilization efforts, potentially led by a reinvigorated Trump Administration. Perhaps most intriguing were the hints at direct economic relief for citizens. The discussion touched on potential “dividend checks” or a similar mechanism as part of a broader strategy to redistribute economic value back to the American people, framed as a gradual & sustainable process rather than a one-time stimulus. The podcast didn’t shy away from hard geopolitics. Border security was emphasized as a paramount nat'l & financial priority, with ongoing efforts to secure borders & repatriate individuals as part of a larger global realignment. Beyond finance & politics, SG ANON ventured into the profound impact on human well-being. He identified the current era as one of intense psychological warfare & recommended a return to nature & spirituality as the ultimate antidote to societal trauma. On the frontier of health, he shed light on emerging technologies like MedBeds. These devices, allegedly leveraging advanced frequency & waveform physics, represent a revolutionary leap in healthcare—a field of suppressed technology now purportedly emerging into public view. The conversation concluded on a note of powerful optimism. SG ANON reflected on symbolic dates—like January 1st & April 1st—as potential markers for financial milestones & a global economic rebirth. His core message was one of hope: we are living through a transformational period aimed at reclaiming sovereignty—over our finances, our nations & our personal health. This period of “Great Unraveling,” as chaotic as it may seem, is ultimately presented as the necessary precursor to a more prosperous, transparent & spiritually aligned future. This blog post is a summary & analysis based on the Jon Dowling podcast episode.

The Iraqi Dinar Without Zeros: CBI Launches A Historic Reform.
Luigi1 posted a topic in Dinar Rumors
Here's an article of Dinarian interests... The Iraqi Dinar Without Zeros. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. TNT via Tishwash: The Iraqi Dinar Without Zeros: The CBI Launches A Historic Reform. ARTICLE: Written by Dr. Subhi Jabara…Research & writing by: Dr. Subhi Jabara. The Central Bank of Iraq has officially confirmed that it is moving forward with its long-awaited “zero-zero” project, a massive financial reform that will fundamentally reshape the country’s economy & its standing on the global stage. In a series of statements, the CBI Gov emphasized that the project is not mere speculation but a concrete initiative that has generated considerable enthusiasm & interest in int'l financial circles. This ambitious project aims to rename the Iraqi dinar by removing three zeros from its nominal value to better reflect the country's growing economic strength. This move, which has been the subject of rumors for years, is currently under active development, with comprehensive studies & simulations having been completed. According to the Gov, the process will be gradual & meticulously planned to ensure financial stability while unlocking the currency's true potential. For years, the Iraqi dinar has suffered from a decline in its nominal value as a result of decades of conflict & economic instability. The current ER, hovering around an unofficial rate of 1,415 Dinars to the USD, forces citizens to carry large amounts of cash for their daily transactions & complicates int'l trade & investment. The “zero-zero” project was designed to address this problem by simplifying the currency & aligning it with the country’s strong economic fundamentals, including robust oil revenues, expanding gold reserves & deepening trade partnerships with global powers such as China, the UE & the European Union. While the CBI has been careful not to commit to a specific timeline, the confirmation that the project has begun marks a pivotal moment for Iraq. This represents a transition from post-war recovery to a new era of economic independence. Signs Of Reform: How Will “Removing Zeros” Work? The phrase “removing zeros” may sound alarming, but it is a standard monetary policy tool known as currency revaluation. It is not a confiscation of wealth, but rather a recalibration of the currency's nominal value. In essence, 1,000 old Iraqi Dinars will become 1 new dinar. Crucially, all prices, wages & savings will be adjusted proportionally, ensuring that individuals' purchasing power remains stable at the moment of the shift. The Real Shift Occurs In The Subsequent Adjustment Of The ER. The CBI has developed several scenarios, with internal studies predicting that the floating Dinar could stabilize automatically at a value in the distant future between 3.22 & 4.25 Dinars to the Dollar. The governor clarified that these figures are not a declared rate but rather an indicator of the currency's potential if it is allowed to float freely based on market demand & Iraq's economic fundamentals. Two Main Paths Are Being Considered For The Next Phase. Economists close to the central bank indicate that both options remain on the table. The choice will depend on the government's strategic priorities, whether it favors a gradual, market-driven adjustment or a swift & decisive reset. Either Path Would Trigger One Of The Most Significant Currency Transformations In The Modern Middle East. The Economic Driver: Why Is Now The Right Time For A Stronger Dinar? The timing of this reform is not coincidental. The Iraqi economy is at an evolutionary turning point. The country's fiscal position has steadily improved, driven by several key factors: -Strong Oil Revenues: As a leading producer in OPEC, Iraq's steady oil revenues provide a stable foundation for its economy & strong support for its currency. -Growing Gold Reserves: The CBI is actively expanding its gold reserves, a traditional safe asset that enhances monetary stability & international credibility. -Deepening Trade Partnerships: Iraq has developed strong trade relations with major global economies, including China, the US, the European Union, diversifying its economic interactions & reducing its dependence on any single partner. Despite this strength, the nominal value of the Dinar has been lagged, widening the gap between the official ER & its true value. Each time Iraq's GDP grows or its foreign reserves increase, this discrepancy becomes more pronounced. The “zero-zero” project is the mechanism to close this gap, allowing the currency to finally reflect the country’s true wealth & economic progress. This Reform Is Expected To Have Profound Global Implications. Revaluing The Iraqi Dinar Would: • Boost regional investment: A stable and strong currency would make Iraq a more attractive destination for foreign investment, thereby fostering economic growth throughout the region. • Reduces Dependence On The Dollar: By re-pegging its currency into a diversified basket of currencies or commodities, Iraq can reduce its reliance on the USD for oil settlements, a move with significant geopolitical implications. • Inspires Monetary Reform: It could inspire neighboring economies to reassess their monetary structures, potentially triggering a wave of fiscal modernization across the Middle East. For Iraq itself, this is more than just an economic adjustment; It is a step toward a historic fiscal renaissance, signaling Iraq's transition from post-war recovery to a future of economic independence & self-determination. A New Chapter For Iraq: The Way Forward. The CBI gov has emphasized that this reform is not a rash or hasty move; Every step is carefully measured, documented, & designed to maintain stability & public confidence. While the precise implementation timeline remains confidential, the confirmation that the project has begun & The Preliminary Studies Are Complete Indicates That Implementation Is Closer Than Ever. When The Reform Takes Place, Whether Through A Gradual Float Or A Sudden Restructuring, It Will Permanently Alter Iraq's Fiscal Identity. The phrase “removing zeros,” as simple as it sounds, represents one of the most ambitious &complex financial engineering projects in the country’s modern history. The CBI is not just changing numbers; It is redefining how Iraq interacts with the global economy. The world is watching closely. The Potential Shift In The Dinar's Value, With Projections Ranging Between 3.22 & 4.25 To The USD, Has Captured The Attention Of Investors, Economists & Governments Worldwide. This is not just an economic story; it is history in motion. As Iraq stands on the precipice of this financial transformation. The Message Is Clear: the nation is ready to transcend its past & write a new chapter of prosperity & strength. -
Here's an article of Dinarian intersts... This is only one Guru's opine...Weekly RV Updates. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates (VIDEO). ARTICLE: As we stand at the precipice of November 2025, the global stage is buzzing with unprecedented shifts. A recent comprehensive financial report, dated October 31, 2025, offers a compelling overview of these evolving dynamics, from geopolitical realignments to a seismic overhaul of our financial infrastructure. For investors, policymakers & global citizens alike, understanding these interconnected developments is paramount. First, let’s turn our gaze to Iraq, a nation often associated with past turbulence, now poised for a remarkable resurgence. The report highlights Iraq’s significant strides towards sovereignty, economic reform & political stability. Crucially, this progress is attributed to a successful reduction of Iranian proxy influence & the implementation of key energy sector laws that promise to unlock its vast potential. This newfound stability in a strategically vital region could have far-reaching positive implications for global energy markets & regional security. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the US is orchestrating its own profound shifts under President Trump’s leadership. The report details his active role in reshaping international trade agreements, with a particular focus on dynamic economies in Southeast Asia. More significantly, it underscores President Trump’s imminent plans to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, signaling a broader intent to overhaul the nation’s financial system. This move is presented as a cornerstone of the coming global financial transformation. At the heart of this global transformation lies the impending launch of a new digital asset-backed global financial system. Set to go live in late November 2025, this revolutionary system will operate under the ISO 20022 standard. The promise? To curtail traditional banking abuses, foster greater transparency & introduce a new era of financial integrity. Perhaps most notably, cryptocurrencies like XRP are earmarked to become pivotal tools in nat'l debt management & an overarching economic reset. This integration of digital assets into sovereign financial strategies marks a historical turning point, potentially reshaping how nations manage their economies & interact on the global stage. The report doesn’t shy away from challenging predictions, forecasting a potential market crash in early 2026. However, this is tempered by optimistic outlooks for a swift, crypto-driven recovery & a pathway to government debt payoff. This suggests that while traditional markets may face headwinds, the emerging digital economy is expected to provide resilience & new avenues for growth. Precious metals & commodities markets, after recent fluctuations, are also expected to see rebounds, indicating a broader systemic rebalancing. The overall tone, while acknowledging anticipated volatility, remains cautiously optimistic, encouraging prudent investment strategies amidst these profound systemic transitions. The insights gleaned from this report paint a vivid picture of a world on the cusp of a redefinition. From Iraq’s journey to sovereignty to the US’s financial overhaul & the imminent launch of a digital asset-backed global system, the coming months promise to be nothing short of transformative. This is not merely a forecast of change but an urgent call for awareness & strategic positioning. For a deeper dive into these critical insights and to fully grasp the implications of these global shifts, we encourage you to watch the full video from Jon Dowling.

Here's some articles of Dinarian interests... Direct From The SANDBOX Report. No RV-RI Until After Election-IQD To Be De-Valued Again. Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. FROM IRAQI SOURCES: The Next Government Will Change The Dollar ER & Explains The Reasons. ARTICLE: Economists expect the next government to resort to an official devaluation of the Iraqi Dinar against the USD as a potential solution to address mounting financial burdens, most notably the massive government payroll. Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi told Al Furat News Agency that "the salary bill accounts for the largest portion of oil revenues, leaving little for upgrading infrastructure or basic services." Al-Marsoumi believes that devaluing the currency will provide greater financial revenues in Dinars, which will help the government cover salary expenses. He added that this option may be one of the necessary measures that the new government may take, especially in light of the current oil prices that threaten to close the country's economic development prospects. Experts emphasize that sustainable solutions lie in diversifying sources of public revenue & not relying entirely on oil, in order to ensure the stability of the Iraqi economy in the long term. The Dollar Rises Again, Reaching Around 142,200. The Dollar ER rose on Wednesday (August 20, 2025) on the Iraqi Stock Exchange & money exchanges. The USD ER recorded 142,200 Dinars for every $100 in morning trading on the main stock exchange in the capital, Baghdad. The exchange rate in local markets in Baghdad reached 143,250 Dinars for sale, while the purchase price reached 141,250 Dinars. The CBI Is Witnessing Foreign Transfer Operations In All Currencies. The Gov of the CBI, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed today, Wednesday, the coverage of almost all major currencies, while indicating that the CBI is witnessing foreign exchange operations in all currencies smoothly & with high fluidity. Al-Alaq said, "The foreign exchange process has witnessed significant development during the past two years, whether in terms of method, approach & organization, or through direct communication & direct transfer between Iraqi banks & approved correspondent banks." He added, "This expansion is not only in the number of correspondent or transferring banks, but also in the number of currencies," noting that "the CBI covers almost all currencies used by Iraq for the purpose of large-scale trade." He stressed that "the CBI is today witnessing transfer operations in almost all major currencies & they are carried out smoothly & with high fluidity." An Expert Warns Against Adjusting The Dollar ER & Outlines A Solution To Address The Decline In Oil Prices. Economic expert Salah Nouri confirmed on Wednesday that adjusting the Dollar ER falls within the purview of the CBI, noting that this measure is a monetary policy tool aimed at achieving economic stability & combating inflation or deflation. Nouri stressed to Al Furat News Agency "the need to achieve harmony between the monetary policy managed by the CBI & the fiscal policy undertaken by the Ministry of Finance through the General Budget." The economic expert explained that raising the Dollar ER—i.e., devaluing the Dinar—increases the amount of Iraqi Dinars the Ministry of Finance receives from the CBI to cover budget expenditures. However, he warned that this measure leads to a decline in the purchasing power of citizens, especially those with limited income. In contrast, Nouri explained that depreciating the Dollar—i.e., increasing the purchasing power of the Dinar—reduces the amount of Dinars the Ministry of Finance receives, creating difficulties in implementing the General Budget, particularly the operational portion. He pointed out that the decline in global oil prices further complicates this problem, as it impacts the state revenues needed to finance the Budget. The economic expert noted that many governments around the world are adopting austerity measures in public spending, particularly regarding unnecessary benefits, to ensure the sustainability of the General Budget & meet only basic needs. Nouri concluded his statement by emphasizing that such measures are a necessary solution to support the Budget in light of the current economic challenges. Al-Sudani Directs The Formation Of A Joint Nat'l Team To Prepare An Integrated Strategy For The Financial & Banking Sector. PM Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani directed the formation of a joint national team to prepare an integrated strategy for the financial & banking sector. A statement from the PM's Office stated that in line with the government's directives aimed at strengthening Iraq's financial & economic position at the int'l level, the PM directed the formation of a joint nat'l team, headed by the Gov of the CBI & including representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Oil & Planning, specialized economic & financial institutions, in addition to the PM's Office, the Securities & Exchange Commission & representatives of the Iraqi banking sector. He explained that this nat'l team will work to prepare an integrated strategy that includes clear & measurable goals, with periodic reports being submitted to the competent authorities & direct coordination with major int'l credit rating agencies, especially (Fitch, S&P, Moody's) with the aim of improving Iraq's sovereign credit rating. The team will also pay special attention to strengthening governance tools, managing financial risks, and developing the business environment in line with the economic reform plans adopted by the government. He added that this directive comes within the framework of the government's vision to adopt a comprehensive nat'l strategy aimed at improving Iraq's sovereign credit rating, which contributes to enhancing int'l confidence in the national economy & opening broader horizons for direct & indirect foreign investments. The government affirms that this step represents a clear commitment to its reform approach and its keenness to achieve economic stability, support the stability of the financial system & provide an attractive investment environment that contributes to diversifying sources of income & reducing dependence on oil as the sole main resource. Luigi's Two Cents Worth: It's not looking good for an RV-RI this year no matter what the Gurus are saying. To blame are: -Falling oil prices. -Inability to get a Budget going. -Increased Iraqi debts & borrowing. -Planned devaluations of the IQD. -Inflationary pressures. -Politics. -Inability to get a Parliamentary forum going. -Inability to get urgent laws passed. -Iranian influences. -It seems there are those that want Sudani gone & Maliki back in power. These are just a few of the problems standing in the way of an imminent RV-RI at this present time.

Here's an article of Dinarian interests... You Are Watching A Controlled Rollout. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. FROM OTHER SOURCES: This Is What You (Dinarians) Were Waiting For Regrading IQD. ARTICLE: Many Pilgrims live outside Iraq. But the reason why this is significant is this: The Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) announcement on May 8, 2025, allowing pilgrims to exchange Iraqi Dinars for USD through designated banks & companies in Baghdad & other provinces, this marks a significant step for American holders of Iraqi Dinar awaiting its integration into global FOREX markets ([Iraq Business News](https://iraq-businessnews.com/2025/05/08/dinars-to-dollars-official-list-of-designated-banks/)). This policy, while aimed at pilgrims, signals Iraq’s push toward formalizing & regulating foreign currency exchange, a critical prerequisite for the Dinar’s potential internationalization. Something that we know will lead to what we ultimately want. For us. (You & Me) investors holding Dinars, who face high-fee money exchanges or black-market transactions due to the Dinar’s absence from global FOREX platforms, per Investopedia, this move suggests progress in stabilizing the Dinar’s exchange infrastructure. By expanding access to Dollars at official rates on a 1:1 basis, Iraq is testing mechanisms to curb black-market volatility, which could pave the way for broader currency tradability. For those waiting to cash in, this development hints at a future where the Dinar will be exchanged more seamlessly on int'l markets, potentially increasing its value & liquidity. So all we have to do is wait for a couple of things. One being the oil exports resuming. This is something that is very close. Which is why Donald Trump Middle East trip is very important. We have to keep an eye on this. These are the chosen banks that do not have any sanctions on them that will be allowed to handle int'l transactions/transfers once Iraq flips the switch. You are watching a controlled rollout. This is a very calculated progressive move towards full int'l connectivity to global trade markets. Many banks have been blacklisted. The ones involved in money laundering & other nefarious things.

Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ikhlas al-Dulaimi, ruled out the government's submission of Budget Schedules within the next two months on Wednesday, while confirming that the 2025 Budget amounts to 216 trillion Iraqi Dinars. Al-Dulaimi said, "The Ministry of Finance has not yet sent the 2025 Budget Tables to the Council of Ministers, even though they were supposed to be sent in October 2024, in accordance with the Financial Management Law, for approval before the start of the new year." She added, "The total Budget amount is 216 trillion Dinars, while actual spending is estimated at about 160 trillion Dinars." Al-Dulaimi ruled out "sending the tables to the House of Representatives within the next two months," noting that "the Ministry of Finance has not yet completed their preparation, which could lead to the postponement of Budget approval until AFTER the 2025 elections." Last February, the Iraqi Parliament voted on the draft law amending the 1st law of the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years (2023 - 2024 - 2025) No. (13) of 2023. -Tishwash: Kurdistan Region Confirms Oil Sales Through SOMO: We Will Give Our Money To Baghdad. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Wednesday affirmed the region's firm position to implement an amendment to the Budget Law, allowing the region's oil to be exported & sold through SOMO, with the proceeds returned to the federal Ministry of Finance. A statement issued by the Kurdistan Regional Government's Council of Ministers, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, said, "The President of the Council, Masrour Barzani, held a meeting attended by his deputy, Qubad Talabani, during which the PM instructed the Ministry of Finance & Economy to prepare a schedule for distributing salaries to Kurdistan Region employees for the month of February, after the deposit of 958 billion Dinars into the ministry's account for that month." The Council decided to begin distributing salaries starting tomorrow. All ministries & institutions were also tasked with preparing March payrolls as soon as possible & sending them to the Federal Ministry of Finance, with the goal of disbursing them before the Eid al-Fitr holiday. The statement confirmed that "in the 1st part of the meeting, Kamal Mohamed Saleh, Acting Minister of Natural Resources, reviewed the latest developments in the joint meetings between the Ministry of Natural Resources & the Federal Ministry of Oil, in the presence of representatives of oil companies." The minister explained the efforts being made to resume the region's oil exports within the framework of the federal Budget Law. The Council of Ministers commended the Ministry of Natural Resources' efforts to accelerate the process of resuming oil exports & its joint work with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil to resolve the obstacles related to the process. The Council also affirmed the "regional government's firm position to implement the amendment to the Budget Law so that the region's oil is exported & sold through SOMO and its revenues are returned to the federal Ministry of Finance." Luigi's two cents worth: The Budget may be delayed until after the 2025 election. This should not have any direct effect on the RV-RI release date & rate. The good news is...the IMF recommends strengthening the Iraqi Dinar. It appears the dispute with the Kurds over getting paid has been resolved. All Kurdish oil will be turned over to Bafhdad. This is the Erbil Agreement or HCL. All good news yet DO keep in mind the RV-RI is a separated action from HCL & the Budget. IMHO.
