Samson – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE IRAQI MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TAKES OVER THE INTEGRATED UNITED NATIONS COMPLEX IN BAGHDAD“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Question:  “What are the top 5 pressing reasons for the dinar to revalue right now?”  1.  Budget period timing.  Everything revolving around that.  2.  Tax reforms.  3.  The timing of banking reforms.  4. Increasing trade and new trade system.  5.  There is a tremendous digital transformation occurring right now, transport markets and investor protection.  Attracting foreign investors.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  The Ministry of Trade announced on January 4, 2026 advanced preparations for Iraq’s World Trade Organization membership.  This includes legislative updates and bilateral negotiations with the 4th working party meeting expected soon.  They don’t tell you why.  Why didn’t they tell you, why they didn’t do it the first quarter of 2025? …Probably has an exchange rate orientation to it…

Clare – Dinar Guru   Article:  “An advisor to the Sudanese government told Rudaw: Devaluing the dinar is the worst way to address the budget deficit”   Quote:  “Saleh, stated that the Central Bank of Iraq strongly rejects resorting to devaluing the dinar against the dollar to cover the budget deficit, stressing that “the official price of the dollar will remain as it is at 1320 dinars…“

Samson – Dinar Guru   Article:  “IRAQ SURPASSES SAUDI ARABIA AND RANKS SECOND AMONG THE LARGEST OIL EXPORTERS TO AMERICA” 

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Article:  “The dollar ‘earthquake’ this Iraqi markets at the start of 2026…expectations of breaking the 146,000 barrier”  The value of the parallel dollar has gone up.  Why?  Because trade is increasing.  Because the Iraq dinar is not a tradable currency, the dollar is currently their trade currency until they go international, making the dinar tradable.  It’s crossing that 146,000 threshold against $100.  That’s creating a level of urgency for the central bank to need to revalue most likely after the government is formed.

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   Islamic banking and Western world banking…is really really different…Western banking systems are built on interest, debt, and guaranteed returns.  While Iraq’s banking structure is largely based on Islamic finance which prohibits interest and instead relies on risk sharing, asset backed transactions and real economic activity...The IMF, BIS and global correspondent banks assume interest based lending, predictable loan structures and standardized repayment models.  Islamic banking does not naturally fit into these assumptions…Because of this mismatch the Central Bank of Iraq cannot simply adopt Western banking rules without risking serious instability…Instead the CBI must carefully redesign its banking framework to operate within international systems while preserving Islamic banking principles…This is why banking reform in Iraq is proceeding more slowly than usual.

WEAPONS TO REMAIN OUTSIDE THE CONTROL OF THE STA

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  I don’t care if you think Maliki…Al-Abadi or Sudani is going to be the guy, they told you that’s secondary to the economic situation.  We’ll see who it is but it’s obvious to everyone that Al-Sudani and what he’s done has been directly related to taking care of the citizens…

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “Reuters: Venezuelan oil exports are completely paralyzed”  Quote: “Venezuelan oil exports are completely paralyzed as oil tankers refuse to sail amid political turmoil.“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Some of you say, ‘We’ve heard this will be 1 to 1.‘  Technically, yeah, it’s going to be 1 to 1.  But you got to look at this from two different angles…Hear me carefully on this.  It’ll be 1 to 1 only within the country of Iraq, not outside.  Here’s why…Whatever you can buy at the grocery store for a 25,000 dinar note…you’ll be able to buy the same exact items with a 25 dinar note after.  So yeah, in the country of Iraq it’ll be 1 to 1…What about outside Iraq?  There’s the dinar against foreign currency value…Let’s use a $3.00 as example.  You would have a 25,000 note that would be worth $75,000.  A 25 note is worth $0.75 cents.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru    We learned that a few of the militia factions residing in Iraq refused to lay down their arms when mandates came from the U.S. to do so…These Iranian influences must first be squashed and neutralized…So, Iraq appears to be heading toward a difficult test: an economy beholden to the dollar and a legislative body openly defying American demands. Do you think the U.S. is going to allow the dinar to be reinstated under these conditions? …I believe the trip in early January 2026 by Mark Savaya will solidify the end to the militias in Iraq as we know them today.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   The Central Bank has waited 22 years to reinstate the currency value.  Why?  Because political corruption is the #1 item that has delayed this...That’s what they’ve been waiting on this entire time, political corruption…They told us these election are what take Iraq and it’s government into the next stage, meaning international…

Samson – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT COALITION DECLARES ITS RIGHT TO HEAD THE GOVERNMENT :  AL-SUDANI IS OUR ONLY CANDIDATE FOR A SECOND TERM“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Iraq is transitioning to going international.  The movements they’re making right now are not sensitive to the rate changing …but very soon the rate change sensitive matters will be implemented requiring the rate to change…The rate is probably not going to change until after the government has been formed…They’re given 90 days which would theoretically per the constitution give them until around March 14th.  Will it take that long?

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  For the longest we have been talking about banking reform in Iraq.  Most of us believed, I know I did, that all it took was just updating to high-tech components to the Iraqi banking system.  Turns out not only was I incorrect in that belief but many other people were as well.  The bottom line is Islamic banking is very very different than western banking...Those differences have subtly swept under the rug.  The western news has not talked about it…Why is Iraqi banking system taking so long to integrate with the global banking infrastructure?  Even US bankers did not offer up this information as a news item…They enjoy keeping us in the dark. [Stay tuned over the next couple of days as Sandy unpacks the differences between Western and Islamic banking and how this impacts the Iraqi dinar exchange rate.]

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: ” ‘Your time is up.‘ After its 2026 inauguration with a declaration of all-out war: How will Savaya turn the tables on everyone and carry out its threat?”  Quote:  “On the first day of 2026, US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, chose to begin the year with a ‘historic promise’: a year to end militias, uncontrolled weapons, corruption, and foreign interference,”

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article:  “GOVERNMENT ADVISOR : FUEL AND FOOD SUBSIDIES REPRESENT 13% OF GDP, THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Going international is a 2-step process within Iraq.  There’s the basic set of international standards which you’re witnessing right now.  They’re rolling them out, implementing them right now.  They’re not sensitive to the rate being changed.  Then there’s a completely additional set that have to wait for the rate change…Banking reform would be one because it involves foreign currency…

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Let’s say you have a 25 note and the 25,000 note.  They’ll coexist at the same value.  That means value against a foreign currency, being the dollar…It doesn’t mean the dinar notes have the same value.  It means the dinar notes  are working off of the same value.  So if the value is $3.00 and you have a 25 note – 25 x $3 = $75.  A 25,000 is worth $75,000.   That’s what that means…

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article “The Central Bank of Syria explains the pricing and payment mechanisms for the new Syrian pound” quote “The Governor of the Central Bank of Syria…stressed the importance of implementing the currency replacement process accurately and with discipline, noting that the new official currency unit is the new Syrian pound, is equal to 100 pounds of the old currency“

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: “IRAQ OPENS ITS DOORS TO THE WORLD“

Jeff – Dinar Guru  Iraq is extremely close to getting back on the world stage because they’re now being declared as an international sovereign state by the UN.

Clare – Dinar Guru    Article:   “Trump threatens military intervention in Iran to protect protesters”  Quote:  “Trump said in a post on Truth Social: ‘If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, as they have done before, the United States of America will come to their aid.’ “

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: “RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT : WE ARE THE LARGEST BLOC WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK AND ARE COMMITTED TO RENEWING THE SUDANESE MANDATE“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Be careful.  There’s a lot of misleading stuff out there.  For example, not trying to bash, just helping you…I received a text message this morning…saying, ‘Hey, Sudani put information out that the current dinar value of 1310 would expire on January 1st.’  I’m like, that’s kind of interesting because the government or Sudani does not control the  currency value or the monetary system.  That’s controlled only by the central bank so Sudani can’t even say that.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  Folks this is finally all coming together for Iraq; however, my contact warned me that there is still the new prime minister to be announced and government formed…the new speaker of parliament was sworn in and now he has to swear in the new members of parliament…Will they make it to the target of early January for an RV?…when Iraq really, really wants things to move along it does. I also firmly believe that they will need to pass the Oil and Gas law in the new parliament…I do not believe this will stop the reinstatement but would help to have it done. 

Jeff – Dinar Guru    Zimbabwe or some of these other ones, have insanely high inflation.  They are not going to be increasing the value of their currency.  They can’t.  It’s general economics. Iraq’s inflation is extremely low.  The Central bank keeps bragging about that…We keep seeing that because the inflation is the key principle that allows them [to increase the rate].
