Further supplies are planned each month, with a government official estimating annual cash delivery of $8 billion to $10 billion.”

8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen If Iraq ever moved to a stronger exchange rate, which all the signs are pointing to, the average Iraqi citizens would likely benefit through greater purchasing power, lower cost of imported goods, more stable currency. That doesn’t mean all citizens in Iraq becomes millionaires overnight. Foreign investors by contrast would experience a large capital gain because they acquired the currency before the appreciation of that currency. That’s what it comes down to.
8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy Article: “Will the Federal Government Remove Three Zeros from the Iraqi dinar?” Let’s all keep our fingers crossed, is that they don’t remove the zeros…a currency redenomination… I remember going over this billions of times with you guys. Even through they’re going to change the look of the Iraqi dinar, they’re not going to change the value that it brings. So instead of 25,000 note times the currency exchange rate, 0.00076 equals $19. Once they remove the three zeros it becomes a 25 dinar note. 25 times the exchange rate, 0.76 still equals $19…That’s not what you were hoping to get. That’s why I’m saying you better hope they keep the zeros on.
8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Most news is about unpaid salaries and what they’re going to do to work towards resolving that. But I want you to realize brokers are also coming out telling us they can’t get currency hardly anymore. They’re struggling. It’s a lot harder. It’s going to take them a lot longer. This is all suggestive the rate change is extremely close and might be happening this month of August. We have to see the cabinet completed and the government formed first.

Clear, enforced resolution of the Kurdistan oil and revenue-sharing mechanism so the federal budget is no longer constantly bleeding. 8. Full completion of the cabinet under al-Zaidi and a functioning government that can actually pass and implement the above (vote coming 8/15-20). None of these items equals an automatic higher dinar rate. Collectively they shrink the fiscal hemorrhage, raise the quality of revenue, reduce leakage, and make the revalued currency defensible. All of this is achievable and Baghdad has no choice but to act swiftly. Lightning-speed fire under Iraq’s a*s progress is and will continue to unfold… [Post 2 of 2]
8-8-2026 Newshound Guru Ross Iraq does not revalue the Dinar to escape crises of this severity BUT sink-or-swim is the only thing that historically forces Baghdad to move on structural files that have been stalled for years. The solution that will provide a boomerang towards the revaluation of IQD. 1. Real expenditure rationalization and non-oil revenue expansion. 2. Acceleration of the long-delayed Oil & Gas Law/Hydrocarbon Law framework… 3. Banking-sector cleanup, better customs collection (ASYCUDA push), and tighter control over regional revenue transfers…4. Possible formal borrowing authority that comes with conditions or oversight… 5. Serious corruption cleanup and recovery of public/stolen funds…It strengthens reserves, reduces the need for printing or emergency borrowing, and signals that the system is finally being cleaned.
