Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 8-18-2026

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Deleting the zeros is the very next banking reform step and being implemented in the second half of the year ’26. That’s why they brought all those articles forward yesterday…It wasn’t a coincidence.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Besides deletion of the three zeros argument, one of the other largest arguments against a possible revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is the money supply is too big…Imagine Iraq announces you bring in your old dinars into the banking system. We will exchange them for the new currency. But very large amounts of currency must pass a source of funds check. Now imagine 40 trillion old dinars sitting in warehouses, homes, safes involving criminal networks, corruption proceeds, etc. whose holders cannot satisfactorily document where the money came from…Those holders would have a problem. If they take the cash to a bank they potentially expose themselves to investigation or confiscation. If they don’t take it to the bank before the old currency is demonetized, those notes eventually cease to be legal tender…

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Economic Observatory: Government silence regarding ‘currency change’ is confusing the Iraqi dinar market” Quote: “Eco Iraq held the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance responsible for clarifying the truth about the decision and any confusion in the Iraqi market resulting from their silence, demanding that the competent authorities issue an official statement explaining the reasons for changing the currency, the implementation mechanisms, the timetable, and guarantees to protect citizens’ savings and market stability.”

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The Iraqi government is preparing to submit the 2027 federal budget to the Council of Representatives, with the bill expected by late September or early October. This is not routine. A budget submitted with the old exchange rate baked into its revenue projections would be fiscal malpractice if a revaluation is imminent because every line item, every public sector salary, every oil revenue projection, every dinar-denominated expenditure would be calculated on a pre-revaluation basis, meaning the moment the rate changes, the entire budget becomes instantly inaccurate and must be recalculated and resubmitted. They won’t submit a budget they know will be obsolete in weeks.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The 2027 budget submission is the fiscal wall. The rate has to move before the budget bill arrives at parliament, because the budget itself has to be written in the new currency’s value. Late September is the deadline for the budget. That means the rate change has to happen before late September. September 1 is the earliest date the enforcement infrastructure is in place. The window is September 1 through roughly September 20-25. That’s the operational corridor.

8-18-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] On the bond side I had 3 contacts reach out…3 different sources from different continents…and all 3 had the same story. In a nutshell all 3 claimed that things went exceptionally well this weekend and it is kicking off and they all will be paid within the next 2 weeks and toward the end of that we will be exchanging currencies…

8-18-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The FACTS speak for themselves. Iraq will have to do something in the VERY near future to resolve this liquidity crisis before it turns into an inflation crisis, which could get out of hand real quick. They cannot continue to print more currency. I have never heard my CBI contact talk in such urgency before..

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar: monetary reform or cosmetic makeover?” Quote: “Salam Zaidan, a member of the Iraqi Banks Association, says that the main function of removing zeros is to reduce the number of digits and facilitate calculations; so instead of the budget being approved with figures amounting to trillions of dinars, it becomes billions, and a salary of one million dinars, for example, becomes 100,000 of the new unit if the removal is limited to one zero in the example, or one thousand when three zeros are removed.”

8-17-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence One meeting changed Iraq’s currency. No vote, no warning. Back in February 2023, Iraq’s prime minister sat with the central bank governor and moved the exchange rate from 1460 to 1310 in a single night. No press conference. No parliamentary vote. By April 2026 the same two men were being positioned to sit in that room again…

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE : REMOVING ZEROS FROM THE IRAQI DINAR IS UNDER DISCUSSION AT THE CENTRAL BANK”

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Deleting the three zeros means strengthen smaller notes…so that smaller notes after the rate has changed can do what large notes did before the rate changed. The only way to increase the purchasing power in country is to strengthen the Iraq dinar against foreign currencies outside of Iraq…

8-17-2026 Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar They’ve gone from denial constantly telling us we will never remove the three zeros from our currency now to telling us on the television from the finance committee that removing the zeros from the Iraqi dinar is under discussion at the central bank. We know it’s not under discussion because they just told us that it is completed.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen It’s not as plainly as saying they’re going to take the three zeros off the dinar notes and that’s it. That would be a net neutral event. That wouldn’t help anyone whatsoever. The Iraqis wouldn’t have increased purchasing power, as foreign investors, we wouldn’t benefit at all. If they wanted to redenominate and chop the three zeros off they could have done this a long time ago…They’re referring to a change in overall monetary and economic policy. That includes changing out the currency…introducing new banknotes…exchange rate changes as well…

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy There’s no guru out there that knows more about the Iraqi dinar and currencies than me…We’re talking about the deletion of the zeros. I’m in the same boat as you guys. I’m invested in Iraqi dinar. I’m telling you we don’t want them to delete the zeros. That’s what we don’t want to see happen. But there’s a very good possibility because they keep bringing the article up over and over that they’re going to delete the zeros.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article “Iraq Struggles to Contain Volatile Dinar Currency Disparity” Quote: “The Iraqi dinar reached its peak value during the 1970s when one dinar was worth four U.S. dollars. Conflict and economic embargoes during the 1990s caused the currency to crash to 3,000 dinars per dollar. The Central Bank fixed the official rate at 1,320 IQD, but parallel market rates remain high at 1,530 IQD…Decades of geopolitical conflict, sanctions, and market resistance have left Iraq unable to bridge the gap between its official 1,320 IQD peg and parallel market rates exceeding 1,530 IQD, cementing a historic decline from its four-dollar peak in the 1970s.”

8-17-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 As more days go by the song of the monetary reform will grow louder and louder with more and more information…It is all being shown to them [Iraqi citizens] right now…Next you will see the coins with the lower notes.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: “The Iraqi government is studying the deletion of three zeros from the dinar so that every thousand current dinars equals one new dinar” These kind of articles come out every few years. IMO, these articles are to curb speculation. Though it has always been a possibility, the CBI is not making such a statement and it does not reflect the current economic actions of the government or the central bank.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram No matter what you’re doing between now and the first quarter of 2027 do not, and I repeat, do not sell your Iraqi dinars.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man They’re talking about strengthening the position of the Iraqi dinar. If you’re going to remove zeros, you’re not strengthening anything – it’s a redenomination. It’s like a reverse split in stock. But when you add a Real Effective Exchange Rate to it, now we’re talking about strengthening the position of the Iraqi dinar.

8-17-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Saturday night in Baghdad, Iraq’s Minister of Communications, Mustafa Sanad, went on the iNews channel and told the country that the decision has been issued. The currency is changing, and the zeros are coming off…Iraqi ministers do not freelance monetary policy on live television and keep their jobs. A statement like that only survives if the thing behind it is real, and nobody in Baghdad has walked it back. The economists on Iraqi airwaves spent Sunday arguing about how and when to do it, not about whether it exists. The formal announcement, when it comes, belongs to the Central Bank, and that is the piece we wait for..

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Removing zeros from the Iraqi currency: A recovery plan or a threat to purchasing power?” Quote: “Iraqi government’s move to revisit the project of removing zeros from the dinar has sparked widespread debate and concern in the markets, amid questions about the repercussions of this step on the currency’s value, prices, and savings…In recent hours, Iraqi markets have been gripped by anxiety following statements by Communications Minister Mustafa Sanad regarding the removal of zeros and the currency change”

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY: GOVERNMENT SILENCE REGARDING ‘CURRENCY CHANGE’ IS CONFUSING THE IRAQI DINAR MARKET”

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Record articles talking about deleting the zeros. They’re saying right now it’s actually agreed upon. We can’t say it’s approved because it hasn’t gone through parliament. But it’s a decided upon…not approved.

8-17-2026 Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar The decision has been made. The currency will change and the zeros removed…The new currency began arriving in Baghdad 10 days ago after it had been contracted for printing long ago. The surprise isn’t in the removal of the zeros, but in the speed, suddenness and mechanism of the switch so that no time is left to convert trillions of hoarded dinar into real estate, gold or smuggling them out of our banking system…When they come to our banks we are trained to ask them where did you get this 3 zero notes from? And to prove to us the source of those 3-zero notes, then we will turn them into colored papers.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen We have had a very interesting and very exciting 24 hours with breaking news coming out of the country of Iraq. An Article broke saying the Communications Minister was on record saying Iraq is planning to change the currency…Iraq is not going to tell you if they’re going to revalue their currency ahead of time. It’s never going to happen. If you’re waiting for Iraq to come out and say, ‘Hey guys we’re going to revalue the currency on September 5th, go buy as much as you can.’ It’s never going to happen…It would be an economic blood bath for them…If [the communications minister] is publicly releasing this information guess what? The CBI is probably moving on a lot of big things…I’m expecting the CBI to make a statement within the next 24 to 72 hours supporting this statement from the communications minister.

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Iraq to Drop Zeros From Its Currency as Dinar Redenomination Returns?” Quote: “Iraq’s Communications Minister Mustafa Sanad says Iraq has decided to remove zeros from the dinar and reprint the currency, but the Central Bank remains the country’s monetary authority and has not publicly confirmed a timetable…What Would Removing Zeros Mean? …under a hypothetical three-zero adjustment, 1,000 old dinars could become one new dinar, with prices, wages, bank balances, contracts and other financial values adjusted proportionally… removing zeros would not automatically make the dinar more valuable…an item costing 50,000 old dinars could simply be priced at 50 new dinars after three zeros were removed.”

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel Article: “Official News: Iraq’s Minister of Communications, Mustafa Sand, confirms the issuance of a decision to change the currency and remove zeros from it” You Have Officially Heard On Record A Iraqi Official Announce This. Do you see how close we are to finally seeing our long term investment finally making it’s break for the international Forex Market?

8-17-2026 Newshound Guru tishwash Article: “Parliamentary Finance Committee: Removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar is under discussion at the Central Bank” Quote: “…removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar is being discussed in the corridors of the Central Bank…the project is linked to the goal of raising the purchasing power of the dinar…”

8-17-2026 Intel Guru Wolverine For some time the Iraqi Dinar has been trading upward on the back screens of the Forex.
