Dinar Observer Daily

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru   al-Zaidi was nominated on April 27 by the Coordination Framework. He is the Prime Minister-designate, not the confirmed Prime Minister. The cabinet vote is May 27, and he needs 167 votes from the 329-seat parliament…Until 167 votes land, he runs no executive office.

COMPETENCE, AND WASHINGTON STRONGLY SUPPORTS HIM“

Stephen – Dinar Guru  It’s been a pretty exciting week.  We are waiting for the formation of the government…It could be done any day, but…the new prime minister nominee has 30 days to get that completed... He’s been meeting with the CBI governor.  He’s been meeting with the Finance Minister.  It seems like he’s very aggressive with going after a lot of the monetary policy in Iraq.  As dinar investors and holders that’s what we want to see.  All good things.  Things are moving and working in our favor.

Fnu Lnu – Dinar Guru  Technically, the IQD is already on FOREX so the proper question is: Is the IQD broadly tradable yet, not is the IQD on FOREX? …There was a time when it was completely absent but that was quite a while back. With crypto legislation in the final stages of approval (Clarity Act) it will be imperative for Iraq/CBI to get their banks crypto-compliant so all banks will be able to access the CBI and FOREX via a bridge currency such as XRP. My Singapore connections tell me…Iraq’s banks…haven’t completed this important step. This will be essential because using a bridge currency will make it very simple to go to any bank on any day and take care of your exchange with settlement happening in seconds.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Al-Zaidi’s success depends on how he balances…competing interests and sets clear priorities. The US support is real but conditional, as Washington is watching closely for progress on stability, economic reforms, and limiting militia influence. I see this as…a test of whether al-Zaidi can turn political deals into an actual functioning government. US support is helpful for stability right now, but it comes with expectations. Al-Zaidi has a tough balancing act ahead of him. The political side remains messy, but the foundational economic and infrastructure work keeps moving on.

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  If the Trump administration establishes a timeline to help Iraq adjust its economy or its currency, it will happen in the next two years.  Trump leaves office on the 1st of 2029.  Iraq must get control over three things: 1. Corruption, which it is now doing.  2.  Disarmament of Iran-backed militants.  3.  Control over its currency, which the CBI is actively doing. 

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “Baghdad receives a new shipment of ‘cash dollars’… and an expert predicts an improvement in the value of the dinar”  Quote: “Iraqi economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi confirmed on Saturday that a new shipment of cash dollars had arrived in Baghdad, as part of what he described as American support related to the next phase and the formation of the government…He added that the arrival of this dollar liquidity would contribute to improving the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar during the coming week.“

Dinar Investor – Jeff  The United States is the last final only remaining country that still has sanctions on the country of Iraq.  Notice how Iraq’s new prime minister nominee is a “Trump Jr.”.   He’s a businessman.  That’s because the US is having tremendous involvement in helping them form their government to achieve and remove political corruption and achieve political stability.  They get a “Trump Jr.” in there, unbiased, non-politician businessman.

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: “FOLLOWING THE ARRIVAL OF A NEW SHIPMENT OF DOLLARS, AN ECONOMIC EXPERT PREDICTS AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE VALUE OF THE DINAR“

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  Article:  “THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC AFFIRMS TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE CENTRAL BANK THE NECESSITY OF STRENGTHENING THE IRAQI DINAR”  Quote:  “President Nizar Amidi emphasized to the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq…the necessity of strengthening the Iraqi dinar and continuing reforms.”

Dinar Investor – Jeff  Question: “You don’t think it’s going to float?” It’s going float but it’s called a managed float, which is really plus or minus 10% per day.  It’s not going to be an aggressive float.  It’ll be a very narrow window float…  

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  The new delegate has been told from the United State that they are supportive.  They’ve come  right out and said numerous times now.  Even the President of the United States gives full support for this man.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Green light… The doors of the White House are opening again for Iraq with a new opportunity contingent on distancing itself from Iran’s orbit”  Quote: “Following the appointment of Ali al-Zaidi as the new Iraqi prime minister, Baghdad has entered a new political phase, amid clear indications that the US administration views al-Zaidi as an opportunity to reshape its relationship with Iraq according to stricter conditions related to security, the economy, and regional influence.“

Jeff – Dinar Guru   The budget can’t get approved till the new currency value exists.  It’s a law.  All aspects of a law have to exist for them to approve it, which means the currency value has to exist because the budget is calculated off the currency value. So, that has to exist before it can get sent to parliament for approval.  That’s the reason they told us about a month ago that the budget would get approved after the government is formed because when the government is formed they they get a change of rate, then proceed with a budget approval.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “Iraq PM Nominee Ali al-Zaidi Draws Comparisons to Trump-Style Economic Policies”  Quote: “Some Iraqi political factions say Ali Faleh Kazem al-Zaidi’s economic approach appears aligned with market-oriented and business-focused policies, drawing comparisons to those associated with U.S. President Donald Trump.”

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   Even with the current political mess and regional tensions, Iraq’s reforms continue to move forward regardless. The push to expand electronic payments is gaining real momentum. This is vital work being done in the background,  as it helps reduce dollarization, brings more of the informal economy into the formal system, and opens up new “virgin” Iraqi markets for small businesses and the unbanked population.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   The ending to this election saga may be finally here. There is a new nominee outside of al-Maliki or al- Sudani. Will he survive the vote in parliament? It appears he has the confidence of the US government, so this is a good start… will he serve the people and support the necessary reforms and grow the economy and work with US Washington over these next four years to make moves towards the reinstatement of the dinar? (Stability part for the RV)…Will he support  Washington’s desire to remove the PMF and other associated terrorist organizations from Iraq (Security part needed for the RV).

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article “The US State Department told Al-Watan News: We congratulate Ali al-Zaidi on his  appointment to form the Iraqi government, and Washington is ready to support a government committed to the monopoly of arms and the  rule of law” Quote “The State Department added that the United States is prepared to support the Iraqi government and work with it  as a partner in achieving stability, provided it adheres to these sovereign principles.”  

Militia Man – Dnar Guru  Iraq’s monetary and economic reforms have been progressing and advancing to the degree that Iraq seems to be completely ready for what we’re waiting for…It gets more reined as each day goes by…It’s all about real  effective exchange rate (REER) readiness.  I think that’s what we’re seeing.

Jeff – Dinar Guru  Most of the economic articles are put in futuristic wording/verbiage.  That’s because all of the economic steps coming forward, about to be introduced, are waiting for the rate to change.

Stephen – Dinar Guru  Timelines for the Iraqi dinar – This month is not going to be our month.  April is almost over.   For those of you who were hoping or April, sorry.  I think between now and fall could be a realistic timeline…Iraq is very good at pushing things down the road…I still think everything is positive.  We are seeing pressure build upon Iraq like never before  and that’s a good thing.  We have an American president who is fully involved in this process and that’s a good thing…We have a  lot of momentum working in our favor.

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  Two paths from here: ⑴  al-Zaidi shields his old bank to keep the parallel route open. The peg holds, Treasury escalates the next bank. ⑵  al-Zaidi cuts Al-Janoob to clear his name with Washington. The parallel breaks, the rate moves first.  Which one?

Clare – Dinar Guru  “Fox News: The Development Road puts Iraq at the heart of global trade routes and limits Iranian influence”  Quote:  “This project could contribute to reducing Iranian influence within Iraq, by redirecting the economic compass towards more independent international trade routes.  They pointed out that the ‘development path’ could constitute a strategic shift in the nature of the Iraqi economy, by moving it from a rentier state model dependent on oil to a logistical state that depends on regional and international transport and trade.“

Fnu Lnu – Dinar Guru  This notion that there are secret “BONDS” which have an arbitrary maturity date is just more DINAR MYTHOLOGY.   A bond has a fixed amount, a fixed percentage return, and a fixed date of maturity…There are NO arbitrary maturity dates. There is NO “BOND SIDE” to the Dinar investment.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Al-Zaidi is a businessman, this new prime minister candidate.  He’s academic with experience, but he carries baggage.  It’s from his past role at the Al-Janoob Islamic Bank which faced restrictions.  That background will draw extra scrutiny from gatekeepers in the US.  It is not the cleanest or the most reform oriented outcome that many hope for..

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Nothing is happening in Iraq till this government is done.  That’s why they even came out a couple weeks ago saying Iraq’s 2026 budget will not get approved until the government is formed…We don’t have to wait for the prime minister to form his entire cabinet.  He just needs to form the majority of his cabinet…and then it can go to a final parliamentary vote.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  ”The US Embassy in Baghdad congratulates al-Zaidi on his appointment to form the government”  Quote: “The United States Mission in Iraq extends its best wishes to Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi in his efforts to form a government capable of fulfilling the aspirations of all Iraqis for a brighter and more peaceful future….and building a prosperous future that brings tangible benefits to both Americans and Iraqis.”

Stephen – Dinar Guruf  Al-Zaidi…is not the official prime minister yet.  He is the nominee.  He does have 30 days to form a new government.  If he cannot form the new government within the next 30 days then they’re going to pick someone else.  So don’t think it’s completely done…There are some rumors he funneled money through his bank to the IRGC.  That hasn’t been proven yet…He’s not personally sanctioned, the institution is…They weren’t alleged over the money laundering until 2024, he left in 2019…Does the USA want this guy in there or not? ...There’s really no clear evidence to say he’s 100% Iranian-backed…

Ariel – Dinar Guru   Foreign investors buy local bonds → they need local currency to settle→central bank prints or releases more local units → supply/demand imbalance pushes the currency stronger in the short-to-medium term.  This is textbook revaluation pressure, not fantasy. Vietnam is running this playbook right now. They are flooding international markets with bonds,  strong in capital, and watching the Dong strengthen as money floods in. This is not random. It’s coordinated… Iraq is under the exact same mechanics…When Iraq sells sovereign or reconstruction bonds internationally (already happening quietly through backchannels), foreign capital pours in, forces dinar demand, and compresses any remaining resistance to a strong, tradable rate..

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article  “Diplomatic official: Two phases of US sanctions begin with halting dollar transactions and could extend to freezing Iraqi funds” Quote:  “Iraqi oil revenues have been deposited into an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 2003. He indicated that these funds had not been sent to Iraq for approximately four months…before the White House officially suspended their transfer three weeks ago…The second phase involves freezing all Iraqi funds… Iraq has two accounts… one at the Federal Reserve Bank and the other at JPMorgan Chase, with warnings that Washington may freeze these assets in both banks.“
