US 1=3,500 IQD? What is this rate supposed to mean? Did we miss something we didn't know? Since when did the dinar devalue the rate to 3,500 IQD? does anyone ever notice this rate=3,500 dinar? I am confused here. Anyone can explain this to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates have not changed. Speculators are manipulating currency for benefit. 3500 is the spread the speculators are benefiting from. The CBI, new Iraq President and Federal Reserve are all cracking down on and rooting out corruption. This is a good sign. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the purpose behind the speculators are manipulating currency is making dinar holders to sell off their mattress dinar inside the country of iraq and out of iraqi country as much as possible and buy more dollars instead. Therefore, the CBI can suck all the mattress dinars in and this is a good sign. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcurl Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 5 hours ago, Mary B said: anyone thoughts what this means to us My thoughts on this. #1 - if it stops the flow of the $USD via the corrupt currency auctions to the bad actors in the area i.e. Iran, then it will help for obvious reasons. #2 - In addition, If the $USD is no longer the preferred local currency and the IQD becomes the preferred national currency, and then it will help by creating demand for the IQD thus increasing the value. Personally, I am skeptical of "An Informed Source", hopefully additional news/items on this topic will verify this US action. Just sayin' .........
