2-12-2026   Newshound Guru Kaperoni  Community comment:  "The RV is coming"  There is no RV.  If the dinar ever was going to go up in value it will be gradually over time based on the growth of the economy it could take several more months or years to see it begin to rise. But there is no RV. Iraq's currency is not a lottery ticket!

2-12-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ 
 [via PDK]   They said Iraq would have a president today…but we don’t...the President comes first and then the Prime Minister.  Constitutionally they should already have their president. They should already have their government. They keep making back room deals and putting things off. They are ignoring their own constitution and legal experts are starting to call them to the mat. It should force them to get things done. 

2-12-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man    The CBI's 'hush' is intentional.  Sensitive reforms advance quietly until the system is ready and the public gatekeepers are prepared.  When they talk about sensitivity, if they're talking about an exchange rate or a real effective exchange rate, that's sensitive information and they're not going to tell you when, how much and what day...The quiet continues to protect them....  This is controlled communication.  

2-12-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu  Article Quote: "Iraq's Central Bank Governor Ali al-Alaq said there are no plans to change the dinar's exchange rate, stressing that the bank's foreign reserves remain strong and that recent market speculation is misplaced..."  There you have it folks...right from the CBI governor. If you prefer, you may choose to believe he is trying to trick you, pre-RV,  but chances are, he is not.  Iraqi bureaucrats don't seem to have a sense of humor about much. 

2-12-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  This morning we all wake up and we wonder what the hell is Iraq doing?  I'm here to say to you, Iraq is doing what they always do when things are not right for Iraq.  They stall.  They shut down.  They do not move forward.  It has been three months since the election and there is still no government.

2-12-2026   Intel Guru Frank26  The theme I see with bank stories is, they know.  The theme is no longer, it's a scam.  The theme is, we want to help you when this happens.  That's what I see. I call these bank stories, 'golden nuggets'.  Every now and then you can find a golden nugget.  

2-12-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   Comment:  Iraq headline: ”State of Law threatens to dissolve parliament over stalled Presidential vote”  MarkZ:  Yup. The move is now to consolidate and force because they have passed constitutional deadlines. They may force the issue and force the Kurdistan region and this will pretty much sign Sudani up for Prime Minister…imo…Things are moving.

2-12-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat  Iraq still faces a deadlock from the Nov 2025 election cycle. It is said that Kurdistan has presented their candidate for president to Parliament for confirmation this week. Also it is said that the confirmation of the prime minister candidate will also be presented this week following the seating of the new president. It is all scheduled for this week. Constitutional deadlines are at stake.

2-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff  What makes the most sense right now is for them to change the rate the second half of February giving them 30 days of March to finish everything [that needs to be done] after the rate has changed so they could have the budget ready to implement...April 1st like they traditionally do.

2-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick  The thing that Trump wants, we want to get paid back.  It looks like we're going to get paid back as soon as this clicks.  We are pouring into Iraq in every way, shape or form.  We are going to invest heavily in Iraq.  Trump wants Iraq's minerals and oils.  He wants payback.  But none of this will for us until legally it is in country, Aki will tell us. 

2-11-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  [Our] advice is to hold on to your Iraqi dinars.  Do not speak of them.  Do not argue with people about the clarity or the value of the Iraqi dinar.  As long as 43 million people and an entire government is using the currency that we hold in our hands, we have have a chance...  

2-11-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  still no solid bond news. When I tell you it’s quiet - It’s quiet. We were told long ago that when we got close to currency and bonds…we would see quiet and the world look like it was coming unglued…. That’s what we are seeing.  I hope that means we are there. 

2-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   [Response to Guru Jeff's 1-9-2026 post below]  Each week there are no less than a dozen announcements of new start-ups, foreign investments, foreign contracts on infrastructure, and foreign accommodations for the tourist trade. Ports have been developed by the Chinese. Germans are investing in energy and electricity distribution and the list could go on all day. The ability to trade with foreign countries IS NOT inhibited by a currency that isn't on a foreign trading platform. There are a dozen countries that actually trade on FOREX yet maintain devalued currencies, most notable Vietnam who currently has a ratio of 25,840 Dong to 1 USD. Yet, somehow they are a manufacturing, assembly, and trading powerhouse....The RV is not imminent because there is no pressing need. 

2-11-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   Article:  "Trade Bank of Iraq: Plan to increase the number of branches to 70"  Quote:  "The bank is currently working on opening branches outside Iraq, including in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and the United States. The opening of branches in England and Brazil is pending approval..."  'Private banks', that's where I'm going to be able to go in and exchange my Iraqi dinar, along with American banks.  It's very brilliant for Iraq to release 70 new trade banks all around the world.  It turns out it's [these banks'] responsibility to bring back the three zeros.  No other bank.

2-11-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man   Article quote:  "The ASYCUDA system is not merely a technical application; it is a necessary transitional phase from a rentier economy [Oil based only] to an institutionalized economy, and from customs chaos to a comprehensive regulatory framework"  That is the piece that should make everyone smile! ...This is a very telling article. It shows that Iraq is going from a rentier economy to a market economy [non-oil revenue]. That simple. That will include Iraq's established REER [Real Effective Exchange Rate].  I am looking forward to their new era to arrive!

2-11-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   The news...is suggestive the formation of the new government is going to take [Iraq] into the international world, get them onto the next stage, next phase.  That's why this government formation is the most important elections they've ever had going back to 2003.  
 
2-11-2026   Newshound/Intel  Guru Mnt Goat   Economic expert Nabil al-Marsoumi stated in a tweet that “more than 200 Iraqi companies contracted with oil licensing companies, employing over 50,000 Iraqi workers, are threatened with significant financial losses and layoffs due to the Central Bank’s directive to disburse their payments in dinars at the official rate—even though their contracts 
and expenses are denominated in dollars
.”  Can this also mean that a reinstatement of the dinar is coming soon? Could this be the motive too for the CBI making this move now…if the dinar does go international this problem with the contractors will just go away.   [Post 2 of 2]

2-11-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  “FROM DOLLAR TO DINAR… EXCHANGE RATE POLICY CONFUSES OIL COMPANIES AND THREATENS THEIR EMPLOYEES!”  In this news we learn that The Central Bank of Iraq’s decision to convert payments to contractors working with oil companies from US dollars to Iraqi dinars....When I learned of this news I said WOW! WOW! and WOW!. The CBI finally did it! ...The CBI is essentially creating the change over from the dollar to the dinar in payments now even to outside companies. Remember the national currency of Iraq is the dinar not dollars and the dollars have been the problem all along as these dollars get into the parallel market and shift the market to influence the price of the dinar...How can the CBI ever get control of the official rate of the dinar unless they end these holes to which the dollar was passing through to the black market. So, along with the full implementation of the ASYCUDA system we see two major moves to sew up the parallel market.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

2-11-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]  Article:   “Central Bank Governor: The exchange rate is fixed and will not change. And we continue to pump dollars” There has been pressure to decrease the exchange rate and not increase it. And to do away with auctions as they are now doing it. They [CBI and banks] have been using US dollars to buy dinar off the streets and use it [the US dollar] for international trade. This is a great way for them to decrease the dinar in circulation. It is allowing them to clean up their currency. Why would they clean up their currency? To increase the rate.

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru  Jeff  Why is the news nonsense?  Why isn't it credible?  ...The more silent and the more misleading Iraq gets, the closer you are to the rate change.  That's just the reality of this.  It's a classified event.  They're not going to give you any clues or tell you when the rate is going to change.  It's going to be a massive secret.  By giving you tremendous misleading information and nonsense and hiding critical things from you that could help you know when the rate is going to change...Kuwait Syndrome.  They're not going to give you any clues at all.  They're going to mislead and confuse. 

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  I've always told you this situation was much much deeper than just getting the Iraqi dinar to float, adjust or revalue.  That word "revalue" is out the window.  I still use it because it is a catchall...but when I say revalue, I'm really meaning adjustment of the currency or floating the currency.  This is really a deep deep rabbit hole...

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru Samson  Article:  "JAPANESE AMBASSADOR: THE CURRENT SECURITY SITUATION IN IRAQ IS THE MOST STABLE IT HAS BEEN IN 20 YEARS"

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru Militia Man  Execution is happening.  They're not doing it with a big hoorah or fanfare...quiet momentum.  There's no hype...Work advances steadily without speculation.  They're going to not tell you exactly how it is and pump it like this is the greatest thing in the world, but they do tell you what they're doing.  They try to keep it calm, cool and collected.

2-10-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   President Trump conference paraphrase "Countries abuse the American dollar.  That's not good for American citizens.  Countries use the American dollar instead of their own currency to buy, sell and trade with.  That's not good for the American dollar or for the American citizens..." He points out you got these Asian counties, China...Japan, they don't play fair.  Same thing with Iraq.  They don't play fair.  They keep a low rate for their currency and they devastate everybody, themselves too.  Makes no sense... Trump wants counties to play fair with their currency against ours and basically stop using ours...Iraq, you're not playing fair.

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru Clare  Article Quote:  "Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that Iraq wants to strengthen its partnership with US oil companies ExxonMobil and Chevron in an effort to 'win over' US President Donald Trump in order to shield the country from tensions between Washington and Tehran, and the possibility of a future conflict in the region...The report quoted...Iraqi officials as saying that they were 'fed up with the slow pace of development by Russian and Chinese companies...' "

2-10-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff   Article:  "Acknowledging the financial crisis...MP: Changing the dollar exchange rate is within the purview of the next government"  They're saying the next government is the one that's going to have the powers to control changing of the dollar exchange rate...What did I tell you?  We're waiting on the completion of the next government to change the rate.  Bam.  Right here, confirmed in print...They're the ones that introduce the rate change within the country of Iraq...I love it when my work is confirmed.

2-10-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat   Article:  "THE END OF THE “LONG STRUGGLE”… MALIKI IS CLOSE TO ANNOUNCING HIS WITHDRAWAL..." ...Picking the new president was not the crisis it was a coverup while they sorted out this Nori al-Maliki nominee mess...Now that he has conceded his nomination...the new president is announced to us. Thus they can now move ahead with the election process again.

2-10-2026   Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ  [via PDK]  Article: “Iraq Parliament hold session for minutes and adjouns it until further notice”  They tabled their session over the weekend…then came back on Monday which was shut down.
2-9-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:   "AFTER A 10-YEAR HIATUS, IRAQ RESUMES OIL EXPORTS TO AN AFRICAN COUNTRY"

2-9-2026   Newshound Guru Jeff 
They announced in this article "An economist says budget reform has been stalled since 2009"   Why?  They're waiting for the rate to change.  Part of the banking reforms have to do with foreign currency - handling and dealings...If the dinar is not tradable, which right now their tradable currency is the US dollar, they're not able to trade, interact and work with foreign currencies due to sanctions waiting for the rate to change, going international, having a tradable currency.

2-9-2026   Newshound Guru Clare   Article:  "Astronomical calculations determine the first days of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr "  Quote:  "Astronomical estimates showed on Sunday (February 8, 2026) that the month of Ramadan for the year 2026 will begin astronomically on Thursday, February 19, after the month of Sha’ban completes 30 days and ends on Wednesday, February 18, with the first day of Eid al-Fitr being Saturday, March 21, if the fasting is confirmed to be 30 days."

2-9-2026   Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu   Article:  "The General Directorate for Industrial Development at the Ministry of Industry and Minerals granted 1,867 licences under establishment for new industrial projects during 2025...licences covered a wide range of sectors, including food, chemical, metal, construction, textile and engineering industries..."  Iraq is demonstrating that they do NOT need a revaluation in order to move forward with infrastructure and industry starts. They do not need to be on FOREX to do business on the International stage.

2-9-2026   Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram  This is what I'm learning in North Africa about the Iraqi dinar...The Iraqi dinar is an official currency only for Iraq and the Kurdistan region....Few other countries will accept the IQD...Iran does not officially accept the IQD either.  The IQD is not accepted in Afghanistan, Somalia, and obviously not here in Egypt...Until the Central Bank of Iraq releases the currency to float or to be connected to the forex markets, banks will not touch it.  But wait, who else had this same scenario, the same problem?  Zimbabwe.  There has been measurable progress with the Zig, Zimbabwe's new currency has is backed by gold.  It's not a total complete evolvement yet, but it's working... Zimbabwe has shown us Iraq's currency is not totally out the door.  There can be changes that can be made to turn it all around and in a short period of time.

2-9-2026   Newshound Guru Samson   Article:  "IRAQ IS THE THIRD LARGEST OIL EXPORTER TO AMERICA, WITH 325,000 BARRELS PER DAY - A 292% JUMP IN ONE WEEK"

2-9-2026   Intel Guru Frank26   What is it we need in order to bring forth a new exchange rate?  Well a lot of things but the #1 thing, security and stability from Iran.  Who represents Iran in Iraq?  Maliki and his Framework.  What's Trump doing?  He's causing countries to play fair with the American dollar by raising the value of their currency...What else is he doing...in Iran?  He's pretty much neutering them...Trump is talking to them.

2-9-2026  Newshound Guru Jeff   Article:  "The Sudanese MP resigns from parliament and a replacement is preparing"  This sounds bad.  It sounds like Sudani is withdrawing from the government.  It's actually really good news ... Let's get into what it means... You cannot be both a MP and a Prime Minister at the same time...You can't have dual power and authority.  He can't be an MP and a prime minister.  He has to give up one.  What he's giving up is his parliamentary seat and he's taking the position of the prime minister premiership.  That's really good news...I've been saying this whole time Sudani's got this and Maliki is out...That's the direction it's heading into...This is very good news, not bad news.

2-9-2026   Intel Guru MarkZ   [via PDK]   [I was sent] a bank story…cannot share some parts but in a nutshell…they had a conversation at a bank and talked about rates. And this bank was very willing to set up an exchange apt. in about 30 days. And they would have access to funds right away. This fits with other bank conversations I have heard. We are following banks closely right now. Banks are seeing more fluctuations in numbers…more changes in value…and almost all of them are saying its just a couple more weeks.
