1-4-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Iraq is transitioning to going international. The movements they’re making right now are not sensitive to the rate changing …but very soon the rate change sensitive matters will be implemented requiring the rate to change…The rate is probably not going to change until after the government has been formed…They’re given 90 days which would theoretically per the constitution give them until around March 14th. Will it take that long?

1-4-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram For the longest we have been talking about banking reform in Iraq. Most of us believed, I know I did, that all it took was just updating to high-tech components to the Iraqi banking system. Turns out not only was I incorrect in that belief but many other people were as well. The bottom line is Islamic banking is very very different than western banking…Those differences have subtly swept under the rug. The western news has not talked about it…Why is Iraqi banking system taking so long to integrate with the global banking infrastructure? Even US bankers did not offer up this information as a news item…They enjoy keeping us in the dark. [Stay tuned over the next couple of days as Sandy unpacks the differences between Western and Islamic banking and how this impacts the Iraqi dinar exchange rate.]

1-4-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Going international is a 2-step process within Iraq. There’s the basic set of international standards which you’re witnessing right now. They’re rolling them out, implementing them right now. They’re not sensitive to the rate being changed. Then there’s a completely additional set that have to wait for the rate change…Banking reform would be one because it involves foreign currency…
1-4-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Does [Venezuela’s situation] affect our monetary reform with the Iraqi dinar? Not directly but I’m not going to say that it’s not tangible. It is. Why? What do we seek for the monetary reform? …Security and stability. We got it in Iraq. But we also need it globally, especially those that are dealing with oil…In my strong opinion the people of Iraq…Iran… Venezuela… Columbia…Cuba and many other countries are praying for the United States of America to come and help them…The countries around the world have been given hope…It seems to me that Iran which is the problem for security and stability in Iraq is going to see the same thing…
1-4-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “The Iraqi Government allocates “high” capital for the Rafidain bank in its new form” This is a big one. It has been reformed. We were told just before the RV we would see a reformation of Iraqi banks.
1-4-2026 Intel Guru Bruce Don’t hold…your currencies…thinking, Well, maybe if it’s at this it’ll be worth more in a week. We weren’t sure if that was going to be the case. What we’re hearing today is no The likelihood is rates will drop. After the initial week or two of exchanges, rates will begin to drop, and eventually they will get to be on par with our new dollar. dinar guru
