Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   I wish I could tell everyone that the removing the of the zero has begun but it hasn’t. Here we sit, almost mid-December already and still waiting for the execution of what they told us months ago would occur at about now. Will we have to wait until mid 2026 or longer for the reinstatement? Iraq…could never be at a more critical time in its modern-day history, than right now.  [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   The results to their last November election will either make or break Iraq. I believe that Iraq will make the correct choice and chose prosperity and growth over the terrorist organizations residing in Iraq. To me it makes common sense they would but we all know this is often not applied in politics…If for now Iraq does chose prosperity, puts al-Sudani in for a second term, then continues what he started since January 2023, Iraq will move along as al-Sudani and Saleh have told us…   [Post 2 of 2]

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  You may be asking, how is Iraq doing this?  Their oil money, baby.  The oil money, because of the sanctions policies, goes into a bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank and then Iraq can get access to this money at any time.  Because of the flow of the large sums of income from oil, Iraq has been able to amass over a hundred billion dollars in foreign reserves.​

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   IMF Article VIII status:  The IMF’s Article IV consultation published in July of 2025 confirms Iraq no longer maintains any exchange restrictions on current account transactions and no longer has multiple currency practices.  That means Iraq has already met the legal requirements for Article VIII.  That’s big.  The only remaining practical step is the public announcement that the dinar is fully convertible for current account transactions and the opening of a dinar trading pairs on international Forex.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  I wish I could tell everyone that the removing the of the zero has begun but it hasn’t. Here we sit, almost mid-December already and still waiting for the execution of what they told us months ago would occur at about now. Will we have to wait until mid 2026 or longer for the reinstatement?  Tell me…why in hell would the CBI along with a huge effort from the GOI go through all these reforms and economic projects i.e. The Development Road Project, expansion of oil, Customs and Tariffs. etc., etc. if they were not serious to re-enter the global markets?   [Post 1 of 2]

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   There is lots of discouraging articles, mostly falsified information by the Iranian influence who want to keep the same old status quo of enriching Iran over Iraq…Folks they are telling us now this is right around the bend and the dinar is going back to FOREX. It is not an option but a mandatory step for the future financial goals of Iraq. All the messages we are getting from the CBI now tell us that January 2026 is still a target for the reinstatement.   [Post 2 of 2]

Clare – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Trade: Plans to increase Iraq’s representation abroad” Quote: “...with assurances from the World Trade Organization that the country’s accession to it is imminent in light of the clear improvement in national economic indicators…“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   We’ve been studying Iraq’s financial and monetary reforms.  What we’re seeing in the last 3+ years under Prime Minister Sudani, Financial advisor Sammy, Central Bank Governor Alaq is simply the fastest and most coherent execution phase I think we’ve ever seen…You can also include the MCOE, Ministerial Council of Economics.  They’ve been working with the BIS, Bank of International Settlements, IMF, World Bank, WTO, WCO. Everybody’s been working in the background.

Samson – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE CENTRAL BANK IS RESTRUCTURING ITS BRANCHES IN BASRA AND MOSUL … AND AN EXPERT DESCRIBES THE MOVE AS ‘STRANGE’ “

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru  Iraq placed two known terrorist organizations on a list to block their finances.  Within hours, not days, not weeks, not even a month but within hours they remove Hezbollah based out of Lebanon and the Houthies Movement which is from Yemen from the list [Saying adding them was an error].  This is not good.  These actions…has news articles in different countries asking the question in headlines, who the hell is in charge in Iraq?

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “Before the UNAMI mission closes… the United Nations praises a ‘new chapter’ for an Iraq that ‘owns its own destiny’ “   Quote:  “The head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), which will leave the country at the end of December after a mission that lasted more than 20 years…Today is a great day for the international  community, as it witnesses the honorable and dignified closure of a United Nations mission…Iraq emerged victorious,”  congratulating the country on holding parliamentary elections in November that were ‘among the freest, most organized and credible ever in Iraq.‘ “

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   For anyone that’s been watching …even just a few years, note that, that quiet, methodical way this is being executed is exactly what we always thought it would.  They can’t tell us everything.  We’re now in that final process as far as I can see.  How long that process is still going to be is to be determined…

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  When I tell you there’s a difference between “nominal value” I’m just talking about the way the bank notes look.  It’s what the government says that piece of paper is worth.  That’s what the nominal value is.  There’s a difference between the nominal value and the exchange rate.  Don’t confuse the two.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   Investors are going to see the emerging market aspect of Iraq is a no-brainer especially with the largest financial institutions…energy companies in the world there.  I think markets see growth and when they see growth they get FOMO, fear of missing out.  Timing of this could very well be in Iraq’s best interest because it’s going to have a very big…positive impact especially if they get this done by the end of the year.  It’s probably going to make the market really happy.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “Saleh: Economic diplomacy opens up prospects for diversifying the Iraqi economy and strengthens its position in global markets”  Quote:  “The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Tuesday that economic diplomacy has opened up broad horizons for diversifying the Iraqi economy…These are steps that will enhance Iraq’s international position, reduce the fragility of its rentier structure, and build a diversified economy that is more capable of facing economic fluctuations in the world.“

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   So, the U.S. ambassador is now in Iraq and the U.S. president’s envoy Savoy is due to arrive soon. What will they talk about? …it is going to be about the demands of the U.S. for security concerns with the Iranian backed militias still stationed in Iraq. The message is still the same – get them the hell out of Iraq!  Article:  “WASHINGTON CALLS ON BAGHDAD TO DISMANTLE “IRANIAN MILITIAS” AND AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT TO WORKING WITH IRAQ“  …the Iranian militias are a problem and must be dealt with.  However do they need to do all this ‘dismantling’ prior to the reinstatement or just have a solid, agreed upon plan in place? All we can do is pray that this is the case of having a plan in place, committed to and then let the RV go.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru   They’re not speaking a lot louder in what they’re doing and that’s understandable.  They’re not going to tell us exactly what they’re doing but they’re being a little more vocal about it...

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Samir Al-Nassiri: The banking reform plan is being implemented successfully according to its timetable.“

Pimpy – Dinar Guru   [Iraq] can do whatever the hell they want.  Trying to make claims that they can’t keep moving forward with this low of an exchange rate is a lie.  They’ve been doing it for 20 years…Trying to tell people they can’t be on the World Trade Organization with this type of exchange rate is false.  Looks at Vietnam, they’re a member of the World Trade  Organization and their exchange rate is way worse than Iraqi dinar.  So don’t say because of this, they can’t keep their exchanges rate that low because they can.  Now I’m not saying they will.  What I’m saying is the reasons you hear out there…is just bullshit and lies.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Hold your position guys.  We’re in a very good potion.  Where you should focus your attention on, what they’re withholding from you, their biggest secrets. That right now is the ’25 budget data.  When are those schedule going to Parliament?  That’s where you should put and direct your focus, right there.  The reason why they’re withholding it is because it’s the lynchpin to the timing of the rate change and it’s close to happening.  They will bring that data forward with very short notice.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article: “U.S. Congress Links Iraq Security Cooperation Funds to Restrictions on Iran-Aligned Militias” Quote: “the U.S. Congress has introduced rigorous new conditions on military assistance to Iraq, directly linking funding to the suppression of Iran-aligned militias. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026, designated S. 2296, contains provisions that would freeze half of the funds allocated for the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-I) until the Iraqi government demonstrates credible steps toward disarming rogue factions and asserting the exclusive authority of the state.“

Militia Man – Dinar Guru    We can see Iraq is executing… because…they have $112/$116 billion in reserves.  They have 171 tons of gold.  They’re telling you all those things that supports the value of their currency.  They have the new ASYCUDA system…60% of the corruption has been alleviated.  That’s all about money…going back into their treasury.  All of that support the real effective exchange rate.  It’s that ‘Quiet tell’ just like the Bank of International Settlements and Alaq going to the Bank of England getting the nod for that, then the application for it…They’re not blatantly saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to come out at X and we’re going to do something’, but they’re tying it in…

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE US EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD: WE ARE COORDINATING WITH KURDISTAN AGAINST “MALICIOUS” ENTITIES TARGETING IRAQ’S STABILITY”   This does not exclude the revaluation we are looking for coming soon, and in fact it supports it, since the dinar is not losing value. There are just a few more hurdles Iraq must get over. Yes, there are structural issues that need to be addressed not financial or debt issues within Iraq and the CBI has made this very clear on many recent occasions.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  They’re going to have to have inter-connectivity.  We know about the ISO2022…the Swift MX…Those are big things.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   My…call to Iraq: My contact… told me that the CBI has been told by the Finance Committee to hold off on removing the zeros until the issues with the U.S. around the Iranian saga are agreed to and at least how this will be handled.

Pimpy – Dinar Guru  Down to 90%?  That’s really good for Iraq.  I remember when 96% of their budget relied on oil and when it got down to 94% I was shocked.  But now they’re down to 94% I was shocked.  But now they’re saying 90%, they’re going in the right direction.  That’s good.

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   Great news, Iraq has reached a major milestone in its national development strategy.  Prime Minister Sudani officially opened the first 63km segment of the development road project...a corridor designed to transform the country into a central hub for global trade… This connection is far more than a simple road.  It is the first operational  piece of a strategic trade route that aims to compete with regional shipping giants and connect the Gulf to Turkey, Europe and beyond.  By launching the segment the government has demonstrated tangible progress on a project that experts believe could reshape Iraq’s economic future…making Iraq a competitive logistics corridor…Iraq is actively building the foundations for a diversified modern economy that is less dependent on oil…
