Dinar Observer Daily

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   Alaq told you, told me, told everybody deletion of the zeros is still going, digital dinar is not under study, it’s under implementation…Iraq isn’t just catching up.  It’s integrating into the global financial system on its own term, with a lot of help.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Iraq discovers huge reserves of silica sand with a purity of up to 98%”   Quote:   “The Eco Iraq Observatory announced on Saturday the quantities of silica sand discovered in the governorates of Anbar and Najaf, describing it as ‘white gold’…There are quantities estimated at about 330 million tons of sand suitable for glassmaking, and about 577.5 million tons for colored glassmaking, bringing the total to about 907.5 million tons of silica sand explored with a purity of nearly 95%, noting that the price of one ton of silica sand ranges between 100 and 150 dollars…“

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  There are articles in the news almost every single week about Iraq making the decision to change your exchange rate... Article:   “Pressure on the Central Bank to change the exchange rate in interference with its independence“

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   It is early December and the CBI may still go ahead with removing the zeros in time for a January release. Oh… but remember it does not have to happen exactly on January 1st as there are thirty-one days in the month. They could also change the plan and remove the zeros in early January and release in late January. There are options…

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Iraq is further along than the headlines suggest because that’s what’s taking place in that quiet hush that I talk about.  They’re further along and that’s really powerful…Because those quiet signals…are turning louder because they’re done with the quiet.  They’re over that.  Now they need to start talking about it and they are.  It confirms just how ready Iraq is to get into the international environment. 

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   I wish I could tell everyone to go to the bank and exchange your dinar today, but this is simply not going to be the case…All the messages we are getting from the CBI now tell us that January 2026 is still a target for the reinstatement…Yes, there is evidence too but there are also issues that must be worked out for the U.S. to allow it to  progress.

Clare – Dinar Guru   Article:  “The Central Bank of Iraq is developing a plan to increase the country’s gold reserves”  Quote: “Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi stated…the issue of changing the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar, which has been widely discussed recently, must be discussed from a “scientific economic” perspective and “away from populist proposals,“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Drop the 3 zeros, apply the real effective exchange rate and that’s where the AAD [Arab Accounting Dinar – The official unit of account for the Arab Monetary Fund] comes in and they do a managed float…They’ll be able to defend the currency because they have gold, they have oil, they have all the non-oil revenue streams.  They have all this worked out.

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  There is deep concern that the oil prices have dropped after news of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.  Article: “Oil Prices Sink as Ukraine Agreees to Peace Deal”  This is Iraq’s worst nightmare because the budget and Iraq’s economic well-being is tied to the oil revenue.  When prices drop, that’s serious.  Oil prices dropped to… between $59 and $61 a barrel.  Iraq needs oil to be about $80 + per barrel to be financially secure. Article quote:  “The IMF…the budget break-even oil price has jumped to $84 per barrel.” …$60 is real serious…That peace deal…would provide more oil in the market…a market that is already oversupplied.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Savaya receives orders from Trump before heading to Iraq ” Quote: “Mark Savaya, the US president’s envoy to Iraq, stated on Friday that he received his assignment orders from the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces, Donald Trump. Savaya wrote in a post on the X platform that he received those orders regarding Iraq during the meeting he had with the US President on the occasion of Thanksgiving. Trump’s envoy to Iraq did not elaborate on the details of those orders.”

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  There’s a thing called the FATF, the Financial Action Task Force grade list.  Review could take Iraq completely off this watch list is scheduled for the first part of 2026, but it is not a prerequisite for a revaluation…It’s all coming together on schedule.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE CENTRAL BANK SETTLES THE DEBATE: THERE IS NO INTENTION TO AMEND THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE IRAQI DINAR”  This means no intention to devalue the dinar, get it? 

Samson – Dinar Guru   Article: “CENTRAL BANK : GOLD RESERVES EXCEED 160 TONS : PLAN TO DIVERSIFY CURRENCIES AND
ENHANCE MONETARY STABILITY“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Famous statement from earlier this week on Monday from the central bank, ‘There’s no plan to change the exchange rate at present‘.  Governor Alaq and Dr Saleh both used almost exactly those words.  Notice the two little words, ‘at present.’  The statement was 100% true this last Monday.  But come this next Monday morning we will no longer be in the present.  A quick history lesson…Dr Abadi, the legendary former governor …used the exact same phrase, ‘no plan at present’, in late 2011, right before the central bank made a small but important adjustment in early 2012.  Central Banks often speak this way when the last pieces are falling into place…That present that existed on Monday last week is not the same present it’s going to be on this Monday.

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  I own 5 million Iraqi dinar.  You think I want them to take the zeros off and then change the exchange rate?  No.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   The rate needs to change before they can implement all these brand new banking reform steps and measures they’re talking about now… 

Clare – Dinar Guru   Article: “The controversy surrounding changing the exchange rate in Iraq: 3 factors hindering the implementation of the move”   Quote:   “1. No need for cash:…according to monetary policy indicators (the size of foreign reserves, inflation rates, and monetary cover), there is no urgent need to adjust the exchange rate at present, indicating that the Central Bank, as the competent sectoral authority, does not see any justification for this step.  Al-Ubaidi pointed out that the crisis Iraq is suffering from is primarily a financial crisis resulting from inflated public spending and a shortage of non-oil revenues, and not a “monetary” crisis…   [Post 1 of 2]

Clare – Dinar Guru   2. Theoretically, Iraq has the ability to change the price, but ability does not mean correctness…Investors and the private sector need stability in the vision, and the constant threat of changing the price shakes this confidence… 3. The economist predicts the exchange rate will remain unchanged, for a fundamental reason…A change in the price should (if it happens) be part of a comprehensive reform package and not a standalone measure. And without agreement between fiscal and monetary policies on a clear rescue plan, there is no justification for any adjustment at present or in the near future.”   [Post 2 of 2]

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Lower denomination bank notes, the ones they’ll drop the three zeros from, are designed, contracted and ready…

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “AN ECONOMIST SAYS US SANCTIONS ARE ON THEIR WAY OUT AND IRAQI BANKS ARE  ENTERING A PHASE OF OPENNESS”   Quote:  “Economic expert Manar al-Obeidi affirmed that Iraq is moving towards greater banking openness, which will facilitate the flow of funds and create a more attractive environment for investors. He noted that the government has successfully addressed most of the financial issues with the United States”  and what is this new phase of openness? It does not get any more open than to get on FOREX, does it?

Militia Man – Dinar Guru There’s a new season with Iraq.  We’re seeing remarkable progress in what’s taking place of late…Parallel market dips are really important. They’re really not public about it, as these guys move forward with their reforms and they pinch the parallel market, that spread from 1450 is diminished down to what I believe is somewhere around 1310 to 1315.  That indicator is a big thing because it means the illegal market is dumping currency so they can get rid of it because they don’t want to get caught holding the bag. 

Nader – Dinar Guru  You not even know it when it’s going to happen.  It can happen now as [you read this].  Nobody knows...I wish it can happen now, it’s tomorrow, it’s next week.  I wish.  But we don’t have the power.  Nobody has the power of that.  So don’t blame me for not telling you it’s going to happen tomorrow or next month or next week or now.  I wish I have that power to tell you but nobody has the power not even I don’t think Sudani has the power to know.  Alaq when he’s ready is going to see his boss and tell him aright we’re ready let’s do it now.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “After the Kormor attack, Savaya told the Iraqi government: Let it be clear, there is no place for armed groups” Quote:  “Mark Savaya, President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, stressed on Thursday the importance of eliminating ‘armed groups’ from Iraq, indicating that America supports a strong Kurdistan within a unified and stable Iraq. Savaya said in a post on the X website…’armed groups operating illegally and moving with hostile foreign agendas carried out an attack yesterday on the Kormor gas field.’ The Iraqi government must identify those responsible for this attack and bring them to justice. Let it be clear that there is no place for such armed groups in a fully sovereign Iraq.“

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru   Looks like the new CBI building is almost done.

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   I’m going to explain why the IQD revalue may finally happen and when and the process of what’s going on.  Never have I ever made any predictions before and I’m still not making a prediction.  What I’m telling you is based upon the facts and the news that have been confirmed and verified, things are pointing to a set chain of events… The potential is the Iraqi dinar will rise in value on its own as time goes forward…The development road project will force Iraq to modernize its banking system.  That’s already happening. This gives the central bank of Iraq the environment to raise the value of the dinar because if they don’t raise the value, they’re going to leave millions and millions and millions  of dollars on the table.
