Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 10-8-2026
10-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick This [1510 devaluation] is very calculated…They’re drawing in USDs off the streets…The biggest factor is those USDs are not flowing over the borders. That’s a huge deal… The problem is they put this out there without explaining it to the citizens of Iraq. That’s why there’s a lot of confusion. This is not a bad thing by any means…
10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel Why You Should Be Excited About This: Eighty-five billion in foreign currency reserves is the war chest that makes a revaluation defensible instead of speculative when the CBI moves the rate, those reserves are the guarantee that the new value holds against any market pressure or speculative attack. Based on the full stack the $85B reserves (28th globally, 3rd in the Arab world per IMF data through mid-2025/Q2 2026), forward oil contracts, gold positioning, non-oil revenue projections, and the measured appreciation posture Washington expects the defensible rate Iraq can post on the Forex this year is 3.85 dinars per dollar.
10-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat …what if Iraq could sell its oil for dinars? Would this not force the international market to demand dinars? Would the US ever allow this or do they maintain the dollar dependency as leverage with Iraq? When can they finally end this necessity to have this leverage over Iraq? Is Al-Zaidi going to be their savior? These are all questions closely related to see our RV. I am not saying that all these events must occur because remember Dr Shabibi was going to reinstate the dinar way back in 2013 and none of these banking reforms were in place nor any of these other measures done. So, anything can happen for these issues as long as SECRITY and STABILITY are achieved. We have been told over and over again these are the two main ingredients necessary for the reinstatement.
10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen There has been an official change in the Iraqi dinar exchange rate. This change is counter to what you would expect Iraq to do. Iraq has been talking about strengthening…the Iraqi dinar…This policy decision hurts the citizens…Their purchasing power is even less…How is this positive economic change for them? It’s not right now. I do believe this is a somewhat brilliant move by the CBI to help pull in even more notes because if you are an Iraqi citizen..you don’t know if the central bank is now going to lower the exchange rate even more. So you want to ditch your notes and get the US dollar, which is counter to what you think you know the central bank and the Ministry of Finance would want. They want the citizens to start using dinars. They’re not going to use dinars if there’s no confidence in it.
10-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen I think not only does this sow a lot of confusion and anger from the Iraqi citizens but…this is going to shake out a lot of people…Iraqi citizens are going to want to exchange their dinars and get back into dollars…Now it’s 1510…one of the weakest currencies in the world…The potential they have is off the charts…I think it’s…a misinformation, disinformation campaign. It makes zero logical sense to why they would want to weaken the dinar even further…I do think a much larger rate change is on the horizon…The fact that they’re taking about this is a huge deal…I think something like this would definitely proceed a major rate change..

10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Devaluing the currency to 1500 doesn’t raise the value of their currency to pay the US back for 23 years of services rendered… These are just games being played and optics to mislead and confuse. This is a massive game of Kuwait Syndrome…Stay relaxed. Stay grounded…
10-7-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Say the cut to 1500 is the first move….A step down that is followed by a step up does something an ordinary devaluation never does. It makes leaving the currency expensive. An Iraq that wants its people to save in dinars instead of dollars has to teach that lesson at some point and this is how it is taught…Is this the plan? It is our theory. Nobody at the Central Bank of Iraq has said it…If the dollar…falls back toward the bank’s price the theory is working and everyone who fled [the dinar] on Tuesday, sold the currency this plan was built to lift.
10-7-2026 Central Banks Guru Terrance For a country to have to import everything…they need dollars…The more the dollar strengthens and with all this foreign investment coming in, that’s going to create a level of inflation for Iraq…They need the currency to revalue [upward] in order for Iraqis not to become poor. This is some of the economics people have to understand. It’s not all about us the speculators…It’s in Iraq’s best interest for Iraq to revalue their currency ahead of all the reforms they want to do. Otherwise it just makes them poor.
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen You have Iraq openly discussing its exchange rate as part of the 2027 budget process…Why are they addressing the exchange rate right now? I don’t remember them ever doing this in previous budgets…It’s obviously very critical to their economy but Iraq has a major gap between the official rate and the street rate…You have to read between the lines and look at what Iraq is doing versus what they are saying.
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “The citizen’s pocket is not the solution”: Parliamentary anger over the decision to raise the dollar exchange rate” Quote: “…head of the National Approach bloc, called on the government on Wednesday to reverse its decision to raise the dollar exchange rate and cancel it quickly, warning of its repercussions on various segments of society.”
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Budget lines are not proof the rate moved. It does not change the rate by itself…
10-7-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 1500 is going in the wrong direction. That number, 1310, should not increase, it should decrease…That number has to get smaller and smaller and smaller to become 1. If it becomes one, then becomes 1 to 1 with the American dollar…The fact that these conversations are occurring concerning [Iraq’s] monetary reform is extremely exciting to me because this conversation is exactly the process of what’s going on…1500 has nothing to do with the plans of the CBI…
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Iraq can change the rate as frequently as they want until they have an approved budget…Once the budget is approved the budget is calculate against that currency value that it was approved against. …Their budget is not approved. They have devalued their currency… Saturday, they could approve the Council of Ministers, the last 9 cabinet ministers and they can change the rate and throw out a new international rate over the weekend. They can do that because the budget is not approved. Right now this is a test of everyone’s faith and patience. How much do you have? Everything is optics until the budget is approved…Nothing is locked in until the budget is approved.
10-7-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq lowered the dinar’s official rate this morning. The Council of Ministers approved it in Tuesday’s session and the Central Bank adopted it: 1,500 IQD to the dollar buying from the Finance Ministry, 1,510 selling to the banks and 1,520 selling to the public.
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “A strategic step to enhance financial stability” Quote: “In line with the Central Bank of Iraq and the Federal Government’s commitment to achieving sustainable economic stability and ensuring comprehensive development, and based on joint coordination with the Council of Ministers and in accordance with the provisions of the Central Bank Law No. (56) of 2004, as amended, the Central Bank informs the public of the adjustment to the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, effective Wednesday, October 7, 2026, as follows: Selling price of the dollar to banks: 1510 dinars per dollar. Cash selling price of the dollar to the public: 1520 dinars per dollar.”
10-7-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel You Are Hearing It From Official Iraqi Sources…The Cabinet Will Be Completed Next Week…Do you know what Iraq is doing for the 1st time for the 2027 budget? They are completely removing the need to borrow. If Iraq is drowning in a deficit so deep it previously required borrowing laws, how does it suddenly “not need to borrow” unless the value of its existing reserves and projected revenues has been re-calibrated to a new, higher baseline? …The 2027 budget is being calculated using a new exchange rate. Not 1,310. Not 1,200. A rate where IQD purchasing power compresses that deficit into insignificance. This is why the budget can “include the necessary treatments” without a borrowing law because the currency baseline has shifted.
10-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT REASSURES MARKETS: THERE IS NO DECISION TO CHANGE THE CURRENCY OR REMOVE ZEROS.” Quote: “…the Iraqi government is working on approving a package of measures to stimulate the economy and protect the purchasing power of citizens.”…this all important article is…chock-full of information for us investors…the liquidity issue has come to a new heightened urgency pitch…In the past we learned that there is a needed law to conduct the removing of the zeros…This law is going to be part of a package of measures and will be presented to parliament soon…
10-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We know that the only solution is to remove the zeros and they know it…They hesitate because they know it has to be followed very closely with the reinstatement to FOREX… they must already know what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. I firmly believe we may see the beginning of the project to remove the zeros begin in early January 2027, the beginning of a new fiscal year…BE CALM. It is coming but there is still some work to be done prior..
