Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 5-20-2026

5-20-2026 Newshound and Exit Strategist Gurus Stephen and Thom STEPHEN: We have Kuwait, they did a revaluation and a post-war re-issuance of new currency in 1991. How many days do you think they gave their citizens to exchange? THOM: 90 Days. STEPHEN: That’s what I initially thought it was. Do you know it was 43 days? THOM: I know they closed the window early…They gave 90-day window and because there were some bad actors taking advantage of it, people here in the US, they decided to close that window unannounced early, we’re not accepting it anymore. STEPHEN: Yep. You’re absolutely right.

5-20-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Governor al-Alaq went on television Tuesday with the clean public denial. No change in the exchange rate. Foreign reserves strong. The CBI is not, in his words, studying the question. It is the 5th time he has said this in 6 months: November, February 12, February 25, April 16, May 19…The repetition is the signal…Al-Alaq confirmed a meeting “in the coming days” bringing the CBI together with the US Federal Reserve, US Treasury, and Oliver Wyman, framed as the path to “transition to dealing in other foreign currencies for banks that have completed all the required requirements.” Read it as multi-currency-settlement readiness…Al-Alaq’s 5th public dinar revaluation denial in 6 months runs interference until Treasury says go…

5-20-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff You can’t just analyze it as a rate change. You have to look at it at the scale of the rate change. This is going to be around 3000% to 4000% [increase]. They’re going to want all world markets closed at the time when they change the rate. That’s exactly how they did Kuwait’s… Sunday morning. Why? Because all world markets were closed. So they didn’t have a ripple effect…

5-20-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ The HCL is on the move. They’ve passed so many peices of it already. It’s getting very close.

5-20-2026 Guest Guru Ross The Iran War has Iraq’s Foreign Reserves Under Heavy Pressure — a Signal for the XRP Revolution…Oil revenues are down, yet the country still has to maintain massive dollar stockpiles just to cover imports, service debt, and stabilize the dinar peg. This pressure is exactly why efficient digital solutions like XRP and its on-demand liquidity model were built… XRP shifts Iraq’s reserves from constantly covering the bills to primarily backing the currency itself — providing fuel for a massive revaluation. …And Iraq is already moving in this direction with a digital dinar.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Even though I personally feel that there is a 100% chance the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue in the near future…there are still moments of doubt. Some days I’m like man, am I waiting on something that is never going to happen? …Am I going to be here in 2030 or 2035 or 2040 still hoping and wishing and praying this is going to happen? I think that’s normal. If you’re in this investment you have to give yourself some grace and say it’s okay to have those thoughts from time to time…There’s always a bit of doubt…always fear…especially when you’re in a long-term investment like this…

5-19-2026 Exit Strategist Thom Question: “Is the rate required before the HCL is passed?” IMO, yes. the REER will be needed to finalize HCL. IMO.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Question “What is stopping this from being a lop?” The only reason there would be a lop is if Iraq had horrible inflation. They don’t. Iraq’s inflation is around 2% to 3%.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man I know there’s a lot of talk about Alaq being demoted or taken out of the central bank. Not one person has sent me any information that supports that to be credible. To me it’s probably agenda driven and slanted. Be very careful on how you read things.

5-19-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 The HCL is a conglomerate of many laws. Surprise, surprise, surprise…they already passed 16 of the laws of the HCL. How many more do they got to go? …The HCL definitely needs a new exchange rate because at 1300 you’re taking about paying the Iraqi citizens pennies…

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “IMF: IRAQ RANKS FIFTH AS THE LARGEST ERA OF ECONOMY IN 2026”

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram We were very very wrong to compare the Iraqi dinar to Kuwaiti dinar…This is one of the biggest misunderstanding in the IQD community. The Iraqi dinar situation is completely different from what happened to Kuwait…When Iraq invited Kuwait in 1990, Kuwait already had a strong currency that was traded internationally…The Kuwaiti dinar already had real value…Kuwait’s currency value dropped because the country itself was under military occupation. But once Kuwait was liberated, its government and banking systems returned. The currency simply went back to its previous internationally recognized value. That is why Kuwait’s situation situation is often called a reinstatement rather than a brand-new revaluation.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram The Iraqi dinar is different and this is where we made the mistake…The modern Iraqi dinar that we hold today was created after the 2003 war. Iraq printed an entirely new currency system after Saddam Hussein was removed. Since then the IQD has operated mostly as a controlled domestic currency, only inside of Iraq…The IQD has never been freely traded on the Forex market…The Kuwaiti dinar was already functioning in that international arena system before Iraq attacked them…The world only knows the IQD value to be that of what the CBI has placed on it…The Kuwaiti dinar is one of the major currencies in the world. The IQD is an exotic currency that is not freely traded on the Forex market …The Kuwaiti dinar and the IQD, that’s apples to oranges.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff The whole reason the central bank has not allowed Iraq to revalue is simply because of the political corruption. The political corruption has been the delay of the rate change this entire time. The #1 delay. That’s the reason…That’s why the banking reforms are coming forward after the rate changes…They have 150+ laws. The HCL is one of the 150. The new 2026 budget is one of the 150 laws. All of these 150+ laws are coming forward after the rate changes…

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Sources: US Federal Reserve adds 5 Iraqi banks to dollar restrictions” Quote: “Experts believe that expanding restrictions on banks may directly affect the parallel market and exchange rates, especially with the high local demand for the dollar and the Iraqi market’s heavy reliance on foreign transfers and imports.”

5-19-2026 Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar When Iraqi leaders talk about “financial monetary reforms” they are referring to things like modernizing the banking system, reducing cash dependency, integration with international payment systems, tightening anti-corruption controls, increasing transparency in government spending and strengthening the central bank’s independence. These are the exact prerequisites the IMF and the World Bank required before any country can adjust its currency structure or value.

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen They’re being as transparent as I’ve ever seen before. Iraq has never been a truthful country. They have always lied about what they’re doing. You know, one week the USA is saying we’re withholding dollars from them. Iraq says, no, that’s not true. And then the following day it comes out, oh, it’s true…But now the USA is directly involved. The Trump administration is directly involved and controlling what they do. It’s nothing short of exciting. If you’re a dinar investor then I’m hoping You are excited too.

5-19-2026 Exit Strategist Guru Thom Question: “IF the value is “low” (1:1 or anything < ~$3), would you go ahead & exchange, or do you see any benefit in waiting a short period? I don’t want to be anxious & exchange low then it increases in days.” Thom: It depends. The CBI and other Arab nations have a history of making an announcement of a new rate and then later that day it is effective immediately. Iraq has already done this a handful of times. So, when IQD goes, I am going the first chance I get. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your financial and asset protection advisors to determine the ideal exchange strategy for your unique circumstances.]

5-19-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Everything took off like a wildfire since they finished the government formation and since Saturday when the new government came into position and started their first day. All this critical stuff that’s been long awaited and outstanding is coming forward… Economic stability becomes a key topic right when the new prime minister comes in and starts [last] Saturday…

5-19-2026 Guest Guru Ross Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s very first decision in office was to meet with the Minister of Finance and the CBI Governor. That single move tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming next for your IQD investment.

5-19-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “ZAIN IRAQ, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEXT GENERATION COMPANY, LAUNCHES THE “ZAIN MART” PLATFORM TO PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED E-COMMERCE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AND ENHANCE THE DIGITAL ECONOMY IN IRAQ” This Zain is yet another indication that Iraq is moving ahead with the digital currency…They do not plan to roll it out until they are ready to complete the redenomination to the newer lower denominations. Remember also that they still intend to have cash too. Its going to be slow rollout.
