Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 8-8-2026

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen If Iraq ever moved to a stronger exchange rate, which all the signs are pointing to, the average Iraqi citizens would likely benefit through greater purchasing power, lower cost of imported goods, more stable currency. That doesn’t mean all citizens in Iraq becomes millionaires overnight. Foreign investors by contrast would experience a large capital gain because they acquired the currency before the appreciation of that currency. That’s what it comes down to.

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy Article: “Will the Federal Government Remove Three Zeros from the Iraqi Dinar?” Let’s all keep our fingers crossed, is that they don’t remove the zeros…a currency redenomination… I remember going over this billions of times with you guys. Even through they’re going to change the look of the Iraqi dinar, they’re not going to change the value that it brings. So instead of 25,000 note times the currency exchange rate, 0.00076 equals $19. Once they remove the three zeros it becomes a 25 dinar note. 25 times the exchange rate, 0.76 still equals $19…That’s not what you were hoping to get. That’s why I’m saying you better hope they keep the zeros on.

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Most news is about unpaid salaries and what they’re going to do to work towards resolving that. But I want you to realize brokers are also coming out telling us they can’t get currency hardly anymore. They’re struggling. It’s a lot harder. It’s going to take them a lot longer. This is all suggestive the rate change is extremely close and might be happening this month of August. We have to see the cabinet completed and the government formed first.

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Ross Iraq does not revalue the Dinar to escape crises of this severity BUT sink-or-swim is the only thing that historically forces Baghdad to move on structural files that have been stalled for years. The solution that will provide a boomerang towards the revaluation of IQD. 1. Real expenditure rationalization and non-oil revenue expansion. 2. Acceleration of the long-delayed Oil & Gas Law/Hydrocarbon Law framework… 3. Banking-sector cleanup, better customs collection (ASYCUDA push), and tighter control over regional revenue transfers…4. Possible formal borrowing authority that comes with conditions or oversight… 5. Serious corruption cleanup and recovery of public/stolen funds…It strengthens reserves, reduces the need for printing or emergency borrowing, and signals that the system is finally being cleaned.

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Ross 6. Continued push on digital payments/ reduced cash economy (cuts leakage and improves tax collection). 7. Clear, enforced resolution of the Kurdistan oil and revenue-sharing mechanism so the federal budget is no longer constantly bleeding. 8. Full completion of the cabinet under al-Zaidi and a functioning government that can actually pass and implement the above (vote coming 8/15-20). None of these items equals an automatic higher dinar rate. Collectively they shrink the fiscal hemorrhage, raise the quality of revenue, reduce leakage, and make the revalued currency defensible. All of this is achievable and Baghdad has no choice but to act swiftly. Lightning-speed fire under Iraq’s a*s progress is and will continue to unfold..

8-8-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] One of our contacts, one of our sources, came out and said Saturday, Sunday, and added Monday as a possibility. I really wanted want you guys to get the feeling that we are close, that we could be there this weekend…Saturday, Sunday…Monday has been added as a possibility, and it could be we get notified over the weekend.

8-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff They have money to be able to pay all their other bills and payments. Isn’t that interesting? Another thing too, there’s been times in the past they haven’t been able to pay salaries, but did they ever put this level of an emphasis on it? No. This time they’re putting a massive emphasis on not being able to pay the salary. Sometimes you have to look at the uniqueness of things, things that are ironic that haven’t happened before…

8-7-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Once I know what bank and branch I’m going to, I’m only taking a very little bit, maybe two 25,000 notes. I’m going to see how the process is handled…Once I feel confident they can handle a larger volume, then I’ll go back…I will most likely do it over a period of a few days…

8-7-2026 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The VND will remain weak for a very long time. Why? because the country competes with China for mfg contracts.

8-7-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram Iraq is facing a cash shortage because it is having trouble exporting its oil through the Straight of Hormuz… Many government workers have not received their July salaries…Iraq depends on oil for about 90% of it’s government revenue…Because going through the Straight of Hormuz has been disrupted Iraq’s oil exports have dropped sharply.

8-7-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 There’s only one option for the monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar, raise the value of the exchange rate and add value to it…

8-7-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Back in April, Washington blocked its cash shipments to Iraq to force Baghdad’s hand on the militias. This week the plane was reloaded with $500 million. Nobody freezes half a billion dollars as punishment and then quietly releases unless they got what they want. Somewhere between April and August, Baghdad did the thing Washington asked of them. Meanwhile the salaries are late, parliament is being dragged in on its day off, the street dollar is at its widest gap in weeks, and the US Senate is headed for an extra long weekend. ICYMI, Nixon closed the gold window on a Sunday night. 55 years ago. Keep one eye open on this weekend.

8-7-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff We saw two articles that said the completed formed government is what allows Iraq to enact the major reforms…A completed government is going to happen very close to the timing of the rate change…I personally think once they complete the cabinet, they’ll change the rate within days of that. They’ll be very close to each other.

8-7-2026 Exit Strategist Thom I am sure that you guys have seen the pictures going around about the new money counters at CHASE…I just so happened to be at an appointment a few blocks from my CHASE Private Client branch…I went in and deposited some cash. And this machine was sitting right there behind the teller. I asked about it and her eyes lit right up. She was very excited about it. She didn’t know that much about it but she allowed me to take pictures…In the bottom right corner is VND. There was no IQD or IDR listed…I came home and then asked @grok for some details on it…”The machine is a Giesecke+Devrient (G+D / GD) ProNote 1.5, a compact table-top banknote processing system (money/bill counter and sorter).” …It allegedly can be programmed for any currency.

8-7-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “AL-ZAYDI AND ERDOGAN AGREE TO BEGIN IMPLEMENTING THE “DEVELOPMENT ROAD” AND TO ORGANIZE MEETINGS OF THE “WATER COMMITTEE” Quote: “Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed on Tuesday evening to begin implementing the “Strategic Development Road” project…” …meetings with the neighboring country of Turkey are underway which is a vital partner to have for this project, in fact MAJOR partner. It is looking VERY promising that Turkey will invest and assist. I have to say this – did the recent trip to Turkey made by President Trump to see Erdogan have anything to do with this? …it all ties together for peace in the middle east..If there is peace our chances for an RV go up substantially.

8-7-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] …we know that forex rates usually show up on a Wednesday or a Sunday night…Now that would translate to new rates on bank screens and redemption center screens, as well. I do have three different sources that are saying almost the same thing…if this does not go …Wednesday, the fifth…then we’re looking at the eighth or ninth, which is Saturday the eighth or Sunday the ninth this weekend…three of our sources, all three separate are saying about where we are right now..
