Samson – Dinar Guru  Article:  “TALABANI: OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON OIL AND TRANSFORM FROM AN IMPORTER TO AN EXPORTER“

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  The HCL…splits oil revenue between Baghdad and Erbil. That split has been the missing piece for years. Lock the split, and Iraq’s books become predictable. Predictable books unlock the global lenders. Global lenders are what reprices the dinar. Clean US rails on one end. Iraqi revenue sharing on the other. THAT is the system the rate moves  through… Pass the HCL. Let the liquidity flow.

Thom – Dinar Guru  Question: “B of A  doesn’t buy dinar. Do we need find a bank that does and establish a relationship with them before the RV?”  Thom:  At the moment, no one is. And you don’t want them to. Not at this current REER. However, I have done plenty of business with B of A and they will exchange anything on FOREX. So when it goes live on FOREX again, they will.

Militia Man – Dinar Guru  Iraq is better insulated than the headlines suggest…The situation around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz remains tense.  Absolutely.  But Iraq has clear advantages right now because of the diversification, because of the resilience they’ve built…Higher oil prices…are providing a short-term revenue buffer…but the whole time they’re making money…Alternative routes and domestic gas, electricity efforts help offset any temporary disruptions…They’re building resilience constantly.

Clare – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Iraq, which leads the world in the number of banks, is the weakest in terms of economic influence” Quote: “Despite having more than 70 banks, Iraq’s banking sector remains among the weakest in the region in terms of economic impact, financing capacity, and level of trust…as a large part of these banks does not work as a financier of projects or a supporter of productive activity, as much as they are linked to limited activities that revolve around the state, liquidity and foreign currency…If the country embarks on genuine reform encompassing governance, oversight, digital transformation, building trust, and linking banks to the productive economy, Iraq possesses the market size and domestic demand to build one of the strongest financial sectors in the region.“

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  The Sin Dialogue Forum opens with one speaker…al-Alaq told the room cash imports of US dollars into Iraq have been cut from 14 billion to 4 billion. He said roughly 95 percent of dollar sales now move through the electronic platform, not through the cash currency-auction window that existed a year ago. He called the current financial situation less severe than 2014. He confirmed dollar transfers are covered daily without interruption, despite an oil-export halt that should be tightening every reserve in the country…The quiet work is not slow work. It is hidden work, by design.

Dinar Investor – Jeff   The government formation is much farther along than we should have expected… Article:  “60% of the ministerial lineup for the new government has been completed”  …Very good to see they’re farther than you and I were privy to know.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru  If al-Zaydi [Iraqi Prime Minister-designate] takes the appropriate steps toward dismantling the PMF, and any terrorist groups operating in Iraq, then parliament passes the Oil and Gas Law (which they already told us is a priority in this new parliament) we could be into some smooth sailing towards the reinstatement process to move ahead.

Tishwash – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Following the arrival of a new shipment of dollars, an economic expert predicts an improvement in the value of the dinar.”  Quote:  “The arrival of this dollar liquidity will contribute to improving the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar next week.”

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article: “WITH A RECORD INCREASE, IRAQ BECOMES THE FOURTH LARGEST OIL SUPPLIER TO AMERICA,
SURPASSING SAUDI ARABIA AND COLOMBIA“

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru  Saturday at the Sin Dialogue Forum in Baghdad. The governor of Iraq’s central bank, Ali al-Alaq, told a room of decision-makers one phrase. “We are working quietly.” …Here is what the room got told next. Cash dollar imports cut from 14 billion to 4 billion in 12 months. 95 percent of dollar sales now move through the electronic platform. Foreign transfers covered daily…79 commercial banks queued behind it for digital banking licenses. Note, this is not a status update. I would more appropriately classify as a plumbing diagram…The wholesale rail is built. The retail rail is loading. Treasury can audit, sanction, and switch the platform off bank by bank. Meaning a clean IQD runs through pristine rails on both shores. That is the difference between theater and architecture. Seat the chair. Pass the budget. Move the rate. 23 days.

Clare – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Was al-Zaidi’s selection an American deal to advance Washington’s interests in Iraq?”  Quote:  “The selection of Ali al-Zaidi for prime minister came about through an American deal previously prepared in coordination with leaders of some political blocs and parties to manage American interests in Iraq according to the Trump administration’s plan, after its objection to the nominations of Nouri al-Maliki and Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.”

Sandy Ingram – Dinar Guru   Start preparing now for the uptick in exotic currency, the IQD and the VND and talk of the BRICS currency over the next two years.  Start preparing for that now. Watch the small steps each currency is making to better understand what could happen in 2028 if the Trump administration doesn’t intervene.

Jeff – Dinar Guru   Things are looking very good.  Most likely during next week to announce the lineup of the ministers and have it ready for a vote as well within two weeks.  If they can get that done, that means they’re positioned to possibly revalue the currency in the second half of May.  We’ve got to watch this movement very closely.

Samson – Dinar Guru  Article:  “IRAN WELCOMES AL-ZAIDI’S APPOINTMENT AS PRIME MINISTER : WE SUPPORT IRAQ’S POLITICAL STABILITY“

Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru   May 27 Iraq votes on the cabinet that decides if the rate moves. The Minister of Finance controls Iraq’s budget and where oil revenue goes. Iran-aligned blocs holding that chair means the books stay under Tehran’s thumb and the rate stays put…al-Zaidi needs 167 votes. The Finance Minister is the prize. Whoever walks out with that seat decides the rate.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “WHY DOES IRAQ FAIL TO ACHIEVE SELF-SUFFICIENCY DESPITE ITS RESOURCES?”  Quote:  “Iraq continues to rely heavily on imports to secure its needs for basic and consumer goods…despite the availability of natural and human resources.”  We can clearly see opportunities are wide spread in Iraq for investors to come and work with them to develop these resources. But will they come under a climate of instability with Iranian influences abound in the government?  But president Trump has a plan to turn this around but he first needs SECURITY and STABIITY.

Jeff – Dinar Guru  Question:  “Are they still working on ‘deleting the zeros’?”  Deleting the zeros does not mean anything regarding the exchange rate.  What it means is they have currency notes with three zeros, like a 25,000 note.  It means to replace a 25,000 currency note with a 25 note.  In other words a redenomination...But I have a fair amount of articles that state the two currencies will coexist together at the same value…Let’s say the dollar value against the dinar is $3.00 for easy math…Two currencies coexist simply means a 25,000 not would be wroth $75,000 after the rate change and a 25 note would be worth $75…IMO they’ll phase out the large three zero notes and give everybody 90 days to get them turned in and exchange.

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.

Samson – Dinar Guru   Article:  “A US RESEARCH CENTER SAYS AL-ZAIDI’S SUCCESS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD IS PROOF OF HIS
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.
