10-21-2025 Intel Guru Frank26 12-2c IMO is the key that opens the door for the new exchange rate. Then what it does, it looks at the laws that are being passed with it…There are many laws…
10-21-2025 Newshound Guru Jeff Remember the ’25 budget is fully amended ready for approval. They don’t have anything left to tell you about it. IMO they’ll most likely give us very short notice…In relation to the rate change, could be the day of or…one to three days out….It’s going to be very short announcement lead time from the physical timing of the rate change.
10-21-2025 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu [Response to Guru Frank26’s 10-19-2025 What is 12-2c post below] MOF report “12-2c in the current Iraqi budget refers to a specific clause…of the Three-Year Budget Law No. 13 of 2023. This clause addresses the reimbursement by Baghdad to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) for the production and transportation costs of oil produced in
the Kurdistan Region…” First of all, this subsection has nothing to do with the exchange rate. Secondly, they aren’t likely to pass this any time soon considering the proximity of the upcoming election. They haven’t even selected a consulting agency to put a fine point on the amount of reimbursement per barrel of oil. $16 per barrel is the current payment.
10-21-2025 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Trump sends his envoy and prepares his list. Washington is paving the way for sanctions against Iraq’s elites before the elections” Quote: “Washington is moving in a dual direction regarding Iraq as the November 11 elections approach, with threats of potential sanctions on the one hand and the appointment of a new special envoy on the other. This signals that the Iraq issue has returned to the forefront of American attention as a testing ground for the balance of deterrence with the Iranian axis, rather than as an arena for direct confrontation”
10-21-2025 Newshound Guru Militia Man Article: “Al-Sudani says the volume of Arab and foreign investments that had entered Iraq exceeded $102 billion.” We’re talking about a lot of money moving in. Why? Because they have security, stability and sustainability…They’re consistently hammering it home. That’s the education for the citizens. All those reassurances, that’s the part you really should be focused in on. Yeah, we’re tired. We’re waiting for this to happen. I get all that…But I see progress. I see the changes. This isn’t something that’s taken place in the past…
10-21-2025 Intel Guru Frank26 If Sudani does not release the new exchange rate, especially before the elections, he might as well kiss the prime minister position goodbye. Because not only will the citizens not vote for him, but Trump will not allow him to be prime minister. Trump will put sanctions back on Iraq, destroy the whole monetary reform.
10-21-2025 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Question: What do you guess will be the dinar rate Mark? MarkZ: I think the absolute worst will be a dollar. Realistically I expect it to be around $4 to $6…and the dong I still think in the low $2 range. But no one will know for sure until we are at the banks.
10-21-2025 Intel Guru Wolverine [via Judy Byington] …I like to tell you that I’m overwhelmed with emotions that soon this will be all over…I’m not here to give you hopium and play with your emotions… Please believe me that this definitely coming.
10-21-2025 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat “IRAQ PLANS TO DOUBLE OIL EXPORTS THROUGH REOPENED KIRKUK-CEYHAN PIPELINE” Iraq aims to more than double crude oil exports through the reopened Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline by next year, according to state oil marketer SOMO… All I can add is WOW! WOW! WOW!
10-21-2025 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] I don’t know of anything now that’s holding us up… This is what we heard from Iraq. All they need now is the go ahead from the United States and that go ahead, should be a call or some communication from President and or Scott Bessent…when those guys decide to let this go. That’s when we get notified…
