Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 1-16-2026

1-16-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 I’ve always told you the moment you see the HCL you’ll see the new exchange rate. Will we see the prime minister? I don’t know. You think I’m waiting for the prime minister? I’m waiting for the new exchange rate.

1-16-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “Iraq’s Envoy waves for upcoming sanctions on new Iraqi networks. Talks with US Treasury” They are talking that the Kurdistan region extended their temporary HCL agreement by 3 months…while they work through things… They don’t believe they will need it. But they extended it another 3 months…This dominated the news today…part of the HCL they have been working on. The parliament has been working on HCL for the last 3 days. I continue to be told from Iraqi sources…First the budget…then the HCL…Then the Prime Minister…and somewhere around the HCL/budget part we get our change in value.

1-16-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “HARRIS: AMERICA WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO DISMANTLE PRO-IRANIAN “TERRORIST” MILITIAS“. The acting head of the US mission in Iraq, Joshua Harris, confirmed on Friday that Washington is moving towards taking immediate action to dismantle what he described as “Iranian-backed terrorist militias,” stressing that the inclusion of “militias” in the new government is contrary to Iraqi-American relations…All I can say is – What the hell was Iraq thinking in even allowing the militias to stay in their country this long? Can you say Nori al-Maliki? How does this guy still exist in Iraq? And no he is not going to be the next prime minister. I would be VERY surprised if Al-Sudani does not get a second term.

1-15-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Why don’t we have an exchange rate with purchasing power with value to the Iraqi currency? Their economy is exploding…Why do we have 1300? …Because we don’t have security and stability from Iran.

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff A lot of people are drinking the news Kool-Aid out there. The news is strongly suggesting that Sudani is out and Maliki is in…That’s just not going to be the case. It’s interesting seeing everybody panicking…and stressing thinking Maliki’s got this. There’s no way in hell Maliki’s got this. Maliki’s too corrupt…Forget about that clown. He’s out. It’ll most likely be Sudani.

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man It’s really kind of quiet, under the radar. There’s not a lot of hype out there…It’s steady progress as they build the capacity to integrate into the global financial system.

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “THE CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR DISCUSSES WITH OLIVER WYMAN WAYS TO IMPROVE IRAQ’S SOVEREIGN AND CREDIT RATINGS”

1-15-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Question: Any dong news? MarkZ: I did reach out to a banker and they are very much organizing and training on the Vietnamese dong and expect the dong & the Iraqi dinar to go at the same time.

1-15-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Question: “If Trump wants this done why would he let them drag this until April?” Trump may be influential and that’s why I say he’s in charge of the monetary reform plan, but it’s still their prerogative. If they want to get slapped with sanctions, no problem. But they don’t want to. Why do you think everybody’s talking to Mark Savaya… Harris… Trump?

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Paulette Maliki is the best choice for us “speculators” to realize the gain we all hope for. He was a key player in getting the Constitution written and finalized, he was not regarded as being a politician with strong Iranian influence when the Bush Administration backed him to become PM after Jaafari and probably the best of all is that Obama wanted him out of power. Of course he is a Shiite which is the sect that most closely aligns with Iran but understand, the PM position will be a Shiite….Go Savaya!

1-15-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu Sudani voluntarily agreed to step aside clearing the way for another Maliki administration. He agreed to support Maliki…A Maliki administration will surely mean all efforts to revalue and redenominate the currency will come to a halt. Though it is true that the CBI is autonomous in their decision making…IMHO, he will stall everything in order for him to have more time to steal more Dinar. As long as Iran is alive and kicking, and their puppet Maliki is alive and kicking, THERE IS NO SECURITY OR STABILITY in Iraq…We may be waiting a long time for the RV as it currently stands…

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article quote: “Mark Savaya, President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, announced on Thursday that a comprehensive review of suspicious payments and financial transactions in Iraq is underway with the U.S. Treasury Department and the Office of Foreign Assets Control, along with discussions of potential sanctions targeting networks that undermine financial integrity and fund terrorist activities …The US president’s envoy affirmed that the relationship between Iraq and the United States has never been stronger than it is today under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.”

1-15-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “WHAT DOES FIXING THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE AT 1300 IN THE 2026 BUDGET MEAN? AND DOES THE CENTRAL BANK HAVE A PLAN TO CONTROL EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS?…” This is not the “official” rate for investors, the public to buy and sell dinar…It is just an “official exchange rate policy used” to control stability in the dinar and not the “official” rate going forward for 2026 down from 1320…the 1300 rate will be continued to be used in 2026 budgeting and…it was used since 2023. Article quote: “The Central Bank stated that “the official exchange rate that will be adopted in 2026 is (1300) dinars per dollar, which has been in effect since February 2023.”

1-15-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Again, my strongest opinion I feel the rate change is waiting on the government formation. That’s a critical piece of stability and requirement by the central bank.

1-15-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 We got to wait till the smoke clears. I still think we’re going to have the prime minister we want. If it is al-Awadi I’m going to be very happy.

1-15-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Question: Do you still think the dong will come in at $2.35? MarkZ: I still think it will come in around $2.25…but am being told I am wrong and it will be way higher.

1-15-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] We’ve heard information that was pointing toward…later in the week, which would be anywhere from Thursday all the way to Sunday.
