Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 1-9-2026
1-9-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 The CBI announced they increased the value of the Iraqi dinar from 1320 to 1300, big deal. It’s not impressive…They’re trying their best to tell you some things…They need to get to 1000. Then it would be easy to make it 1 to 1…We need purchasing power of at least 1 to 1…It’s not a rate change. It’s an official announcement of their exchange rate…
1-9-2026 Intel Guru Bruce …If I had dinar there’s no way in this world I would go to the bank – because the dinar has a contract rate at the redemption center ONLY – and it’s terrific – …it’s very high – President Trump set that up in his first term with the Prime Minister and the central bank of Iraq, and it’s a stellar rate, excellent rate…the rate on the Dong is not a contract rate. It is on the dinar, but not on the Dong but dong rate that we’ve heard in the last few days is is quite good, quite high, and everybody will be pleased with it…
1-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article Quote: “18 crucial issues” that Savaya said would be among the priorities of his mission in Iraq during the new year,” Savaya just needs to convince the Iraqi government of these things he wants to accomplish in 2026. Do we investors in the dinar have to wait for the RV to get all of these items fixed? Of course not…some items that we know
must be accomplished and are already known issues they have been working on for years already.
1-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff News talking about the central bank said the calculation of the budget will be at 1300 per US dollar is B.S.
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff They need a permanent seated government to enter into legal binding agreements. That’s part of why the rate can only change after the government’s completed.
1-8-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] “The exchange rate will be 1300 dinar in the 2026 budget” Don’t anyone jump off a cliff. …somebody… did a great breakdown on this. That this is not a market revaluation but a budget revaluation. 1300 stabalizes the budget but not the market. This does not mean there won’t be an overnight currency reset or redenomination for cash holders or international RV…
1-8-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 What I find crazy is if [Iraq] goes international at 1310, which you have never done before, there is no profit. That’s not what the global community wants to do with you. They’re not going to come into your country. They didn’t sign contracts at 1310. They demand a profit. Iraq needs to grow up and realize if they want to play with the big boys it has to be with big money…You remain poor at 1310.
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “A Sudanese advisor explains…the repercussions of fixing the exchange rate at 1300 dinars in the 2026 budget” Quote: “Saleh, confirmed on Thursday that the move to adopt the exchange rate of the US dollar at 1300 dinars and to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar in a limited way comes within a calculated coordination between the fiscal and monetary policies.”
1-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu I regret that I have to be the harbinger of sad tidings…there will be no RV this year. The social, technical, and economic fundamentals just aren’t there. Sorry. Maybe next year?
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “IRAQ’S GOLD RESERVES REMAIN STABLE AT 170 TONS”
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram The Iran backed militia groups have come together in Iraq. They are telling Baghdad they will not give up their weapons until the occupation ends…As you know the Trump administration has said [disarmament of Iran backed militia] is their goal for 2026…
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff To join the World Trade you have to have more than one revenue stream. Historically Iraq’s pretty much always had about one revenue stream which was oil…They’re talking about increasing taxes. They have tax reform coming forward but would still have to be amended and approved after the rate changes of course because taxes involve tariffs working with foreign currencies…This gives them eligibility towards joining the World Trade…They’re closer than they’ve ever been towards joining the World Trade. The rate has to change first…to position them in the World Trade.
1-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick Prime Minister Sudani can fire the governor of the CBI, Alaq in a nanosecond and replace him. IMO if Alaq does not do what he is supposed to do in these series of meetings coming up he will lose his position…Alaq can be removed very quickly…Sudani can fire Alaq if he feels he is not doing his job. It’s really winding down to these series of meetings that parliament is going to be having…
1-8-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Alaq has continued to delay because he had excuses. Once the government is seated, there’s no more excuses for Alaq…If Alaq breaks the sequence from parliament being established, to the laws being passed, to the budget being opened…without bringing out the new exchange rate, trust me, he’ll be gone…Alaq is the enemy of the new exchange rate and everybody knows it…We’re down to Alaq.
1-8-2026 Boots-on-the-ground Guru Omar On the television today they’re talking about Alaq and meeting he is having with parliament…One of the topics was around the “REER adjustment”…how he’s been managing the exchange rate mechanism…Parliament is focusing on whether those adjustments are effective or causing more instability…Brining in the CBI governor now could mean the parliament is keeping a close eye on how far long the deletion of the zeros project is and holding him accountable. It might be a sign of something bigger is on the horizon for the dinar.
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man The following 10 indicators…create conditions for prudent next steps by the Central Bank of Iraq and gatekeepers – IMF, UST, BIS… (1) United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq ended on December 31, 2025…This affirms full sovereignty for Iraq… (2) Parliament leadership elected smoothly on December 29, 2025. (3) ASYCUDA system
automations mandatory January 1, 2026…Generated record non-oil revenues…in 2025… (4) Electronic payments and…digital dinar in full implementation with paper notes phasing out in 2026… (5) Low inflation maintained. Foreign reserves reached approximately $115 billion…That is phenomenal in comparison to other countries. (6) Banking sector restructuring and advances…improves compliance and attracts foreign partnerships…
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man (7) TIR international transit system launched first shipments across Iraq in 2025…This positions Iraq as a reliable logistics partner…a key component to the WTO… (8) Development Road designs reached 87% for railways…Navigation channels 100%. These enhance…non-oil revenues…which is going to support the Real Effective Exchange Rate. (9) International partnerships expanded. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development…Direct aviation links with China start early 2026… (10) The IMF 2025 review praised prudent policies. The BIS supposed standard adoption. The US Treasury commended compliance efforts. These measured validations reflect confidence in Iraq’s readiness…These [10] indicators show Iraq reforms have created a stable foundation with sovereignty …digital systems are live and revenues are diversified. The country is prepared for deeper global financial ties.
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Central Bank: The official exchange rate will be 1300 dinars in the 2026 budget” Quote: “The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Thursday that the official exchange rate adopted in preparing the draft federal general budget law for the year 2026 will be 1300 dinars per US dollar…”
1-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Very good information is coming out showing you how critically close the rate change is…You have to consider the budget is nothing more than a law. The budget is calculated off the currency value…The draft amended ’25 budget and the ’26 budget haven’t been approved yet because all aspects of laws have to exist in order to approve them. What doesn’t exist yet would be the currency value that those two budgets are calculated off of. That’s why they’re being paused and suspended right now waiting for the rate to change…
1-8-2026 Intel Guru Bruce …the timing for the RV… our recent source… that we received was talking…like a Friday/Saturday start for us, which is great.
1-8-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Monetary reform is ready to go. The only thing missing is the spark that will give it life and that would be the new exchange rate. That will come from the Central Bank of Iraq…Who the hell runs the CBI? The board of directors. You think the board of directors want the monetary reform? Oh, yes! They’re not politicians…We’re going to get the new exchange rate because if you [Alaq] don’t give it up, you’re gone sir.
1-8-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I believe the people of Iraq… realize the U.S. is there to help continue the progress of al-Sudani’s first term in office. Part of that work is the reinstatement and the change over of the currency. In speaking to my CBI contact over the weekend she has said her committee is still waiting for the direction to begin the swap out of the currency. She told me it was planned for the last week in December but was stalled due to political reasons. My personal belief is that it will not occur until this Iranian issue is resolved.
