Dinar Observer Daily

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Now let’s get on with some of the really good news that Iraq is telling us that should be our expectation for this next phase that Iraq keeps talking about.  Next phase?  This means the future phase under this next prime minister...if they can pull off from what they are talking about doing, to what they actually do, we will see what we want too – the reinstatement…I am told by my CBI contact we need to watch these developments with Iran carefully as they are key for Iraq to move ahead into this next phase. Completion of this next phase is going to drive what we want. 

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Question:  “Do you believe there is such a thing as ‘contract rate’?’ “  I’m not into anything ‘contract rate’.  I don’t care about contract rate.  To me that’s nothing.

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru    A revaluation directly raises the purchasing power of every Iraqi household that holds dinars or earns wages in dinars. Imports become cheaper. International medical care and education become accessible. Remittance corridors invert.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  What we’re seeing is not the same as it was 15 years ago.   It’s not even close.   It’s very exciting to see everything tying in…

Stephen – Dinar Guru  I would highly speculate that when this does happen, we’re probably going to have about 3 months, 90 days.  You don’t have to be running to your bank the same day or even the next day and making irrational decisions and rush the process only to come home and I’m like here’s how you could save X amount of money on the spread fees or X amount of money doing this.  You’re like, crap, I already exchanged and that cost me tens of thousands of dollars…

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  The Development Road Project… which is the transportation corridor that will carry cargo and people from the Grand Port of Fa in southern Iraq near Basra to the Turkish border…will reduce unemployment, improve finances and will provide a consistent $4+ billion in annual revenue.  It will automatically boost Iraq’s GDP.  Will this change the IQD exchange rate?  Will there be a currency adjustment?  Probably…This new corridor will…connect the Gulf states, Turkey and Europe.  This is major.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Does Iraq have to have a fully completed formed cabinet to change the rate?  Possibly.  It could be perceived as a level of stability in this.  

Clare – Dinar Guru  Question: “Do we need every minister voted on and given confidence to see a rate change?” NO, WE DON’T. – THIS IS THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT THE OTHERS WILL BE ADDED LATER.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  We’re watching history unfold…Over the last 24 hours Iraq has shown remarkable web of coordinated progress… There are a lot of things taking place…It isn’t just about Iraq but yet it is about Iraq…Al-Zaidi is not waiting around. He’s been executing with a purpose… The convergences we’ve followed for years are no longer separate  threads …We’re in one of the most exciting and important windows I think we’ve ever seen.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   You have to admit since the new administration came in, the temperature and pressure on the rate change itself and getting the rate change done has tremendously escalated and increased.  That’s not coincidental because they told you that it will be the new administration that enters Iraq into the next phase, next stage.

Ross – Dinar Guru   Iraqi Dinar Revaluation was NEVER Possible Until the Strait of Hormuz Was Dealt With!  Imagine holding the Dinar for 23 years thinking it could revalue any day. What if it actually did? You’d have cashed out years ago, retired on a beach with a margarita… but what if the Strait closed after your exchange?  Iraq’s oil exports via Hormuz collapsed 89% in April alone — slashing 90% of government revenue. You do the math. What oil revenue would be backing that newly revalued Dinar? Exactly.  Nothing. And that’s precisely why you’ve waited this long. Nothing could have sustained the new value. Iraq’s diversification away from oil revenues will not be solved anytime soon. The fact that the Strait of Hormuz is closed right now should have you feeling electric about your investment — resolving this is literally the #1 prerequisite to a revaluation.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Banks have nothing to do with your taxes.  They just exchange foreign currency.  It’s all they do.

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  The volume of emails I have been getting on trust structures, foundation mechanics, banking corridors, and country-specific deployment has gone up sharply over the last month. People holding IQD, VND, ZIM, VES who are starting to think seriously about what happens when the basket pays out – and what the home-side tax position looks like…The questions are getting more specific, the stakes are getting more personal, and the timing pressure is real now that we are closer to the event than we have ever been.

Jeff – Dinar Guru    The budget is dependent on the rate changing.  Why?  Because the budget is calculated off the currency value.  The budget is a law.  In order to approve a law, all aspects of it have to exist, such as the currency value that it was calculated off of…In order for the government to get the budget approved, the rate has to exist…

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   The UK, Germany, and Switzerland are all making financial commitments with and to Iraq…This is great.

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  CBI Governor Ali al-Alaq told the Sin Dialogue Forum in May 2026 that cash imports of US dollars into Iraq have been cut from $14 billion to $4 billion, with roughly 95% of dollar sales now moving through the electronic platform rather than the cash currency-auction window that existed a year earlier. 

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Article:  “At the start of the week…a new update on dollar exchange rates in Iraq”  They don’t tell you what the update is.  They don’t tell you what’s changing or happening and what the new update’s going to be.  At the start of next week, there’s some kind of brand new update on dollar exchange rate.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “PARLIAMENT IS MOVING TO AVOID A “PARALYSIS” SCENARIO AND AIMS TO FINALIZE THE OIL, GAS, AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAWS”; “POLITICAL CONSENSUS PAVES THE WAY FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE OIL AND GAS LAW.” Quote:  “The Iraqi Parliament is preparing to introduce the draft oil and gas law in the coming period, amid indications of a political consensus among most blocs to pass it.”  …the Oil and Gas Law is not yet passed but it certainly looks like a slam dunk very soon…Nice!

Jeff – Dinar Guru   They will never be able to go international or get the US sanctions lifted off them if they keep the value of the currency below a penny.  In order for them to get sanctions lifted and removed, the value of the dinar has to increase above a penny.  

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed that the independence of the Central Bank is “legally achieved but not fully realized in practice,” in a direct reference to the gap between constitutional texts and the financial pressures facing monetary policy in the country“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru To me the CBI has completed the first evaluation phase of its comprehensive banking reform strategy.  It now moving into the second phase with international partners like Oliver Wyman to bring banks up to global standards for full integration.  I can’t reiterate this enough, this didn’t just start yesterday.  They’ve been working on this for a long time…They won’t come out and talk openly about a dinar revaluation…If you think that you’re getting misguided…

Jeff – Dinar Guru   You can’t just analyze it as a rate change.  You have to look at it at the scale of the rate change.  This is going to be around 3000% to 4000% [increase].  They’re going to want all world markets closed at the time when they change the rate.  That’s exactly how they did Kuwait’s… Sunday morning.  Why?  Because all world markets were closed.  So they didn’t have a ripple effect…

Stephen – Dinar Guru  Even though I personally feel that there is a 100% chance the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue in  the near future…there are still moments of doubt.  Some days I’m like man, am I waiting on something that is never going to  happen?  …Am I going to be here in 2030 or 2035 or 2040 still hoping and wishing and praying this is going to happen?  I think that’s normal.  If you’re in this investment you have to give yourself some grace and say it’s okay to have those thoughts from  time to time...There’s always a bit of doubt…always fear…especially when you’re in a long-term investment like this…

Jeff – Dinar Guru  Question “What is stopping this from being a lop?”  The only reason there would be a lop is if Iraq had horrible inflation.  They don’t.  Iraq’s inflation is around 2% to 3%.  

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  I know there’s a lot of talk about Alaq being demoted or taken out of the central bank.  Not one person has sent me any information that supports that to be credible.  To me it’s probably agenda driven and slanted.  Be very careful on how you read things.

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: “IMF: IRAQ RANKS FIFTH AS THE LARGEST ERA OF ECONOMY IN 2026″

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   We were very very wrong to compare the Iraqi dinar to Kuwaiti dinar…This is one of the biggest misunderstanding in the IQD community.  The Iraqi dinar situation is completely different from what happened to Kuwait…When Iraq invited Kuwait in 1990, Kuwait already had a strong currency that was traded internationally…The Kuwaiti dinar already had real value…Kuwait’s currency value dropped because the country itself was under military occupation.  But once Kuwait was liberated, its government and banking systems returned.  The currency simply went back to its previous internationally recognized value.  That is why Kuwait’s situation situation is often called a reinstatement rather than a brand-new revaluation.   [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   The Iraqi dinar is different and this is where we made the mistake…The modern Iraqi dinar that we hold today was created after the 2003 war.  Iraq printed an entirely new currency system after Saddam Hussein was removed. Since then the IQD has operated mostly as a controlled domestic currency, only inside of Iraq…The IQD has never been freely traded on the Forex market…The Kuwaiti dinar was already functioning in that international arena system before Iraq attacked them...The world only knows the IQD value to be that of what the CBI has placed on it…The Kuwaiti dinar is one of the major currencies in the world.  The IQD is an exotic currency that is not freely traded on the Forex market …The Kuwaiti dinar and the IQD, that’s apples to oranges.  [Post 2 of 2]

Jeff – Dinar Guru   The whole reason the central bank has not allowed Iraq to revalue is simply because of the political corruption.  The political corruption has been the delay of the rate change this entire time.  The #1 delay.  That’s the reason…That’s why the banking reforms are coming forward after the rate changes...They have 150+ laws. The HCL is one of the 150.  The new 2026 budget is one of the 150 laws.  All of these 150+ laws are coming forward after the rate changes…

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Sources: US Federal Reserve adds 5 Iraqi banks to dollar restrictions” Quote: “Experts believe that expanding restrictions on banks may directly affect the parallel market and exchange rates, especially with the high local demand for the dollar and the Iraqi market’s heavy reliance on foreign transfers and imports.”
