2-23-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man There’s a lot of misconceptions out there. Not a lot but some. One of the things is that the Central Bank of Iraq is absolute in this regard. Under Iraq Central Bank Law #56 o 2004 Article 2 the CBI has bull operational independence in monetary policy…Decisions on exchange rate regime, digital dinar roll out, reserves management, parallel market controls or a future managed REER adjustment are not subject to political, religious or seasonal calendars, including Ramadan.
2-23-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] I…still have great hope for February…there are sure alot of rumors running around. The rumors are running crazy and obscene… They are up, down and conflicting. It is difficult to figure out what is real and what is not. We are getting different stories from different groups. To me there is an extreme level of disinformation going on. It is only Monday morning and getting this much information and rumors is highly unusual. Stay calm…getting this many rumors at once makes vetting difficult…so stay calm. Its odd that so many groups were told QFS releases tomorrow…and other groups were told when the QFS is live – that’s when they get to go…and QFS is expected to go tomorrow…guess we will see…just stay calm.

2-23-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy Remember most of the politicians in Iraq are Iranian-backed puppets. Iran and these Iraqi politicians go hand in hand. I think the best path for Iraq is Al-Sudani. But we’ll see what happens… Kurdistan’s government hasn’t been established. Baghdad’s government hasn’t been established. It’s going to take a little time. The furthest thing from their mind is dealing with the exchange rate…Nobody knows what’s going to happen for sure…
2-23-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Historically Iraq [dinar] has always been above Kuwait [dinar] value…Today the value of the Kuwaiti dinar against the US dollar is $3.26…Historically Iraq was always a higher currency value than Kuwait…Undo what was done to lower the value of Iraq’s currency…OFAC sanctions, take the sanctions off, the currency value reinstates back to $3.22, put some inflation on that over 22 years, probably somewhere in the the high $3 range, just shy of $4.
2-23-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Question: What is HCL law in Iraq? MarkZ: Its revenue sharing with the Kurdish region. Iraq is kinda 2 countries in one with the Kurdish region. We have been told for the last 20 years when we see HCL pass…within hours or days we would see the revaluation of the dinar.
2-23-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Hang on to your seats because the next couple weeks are going to be explosive, but right now we are in waiting mode until these Iranian issues are resolved…The Iraqi speaker of parliament has put all sessions on hold…until these issues are settled…my CBI contact… assures me that unless the Iranian influence in Iraq is addressed, along with tensions from Tehran, there will not be a reinstatement. The US will not sign off and will hold it up…Many of us may look at what is happening in Iraq as gloom and doom with this Iranian issues…Let’s keep looking at the glass as half full and not empty….things in Iraq are known to change suddenly and pivot…
