The United States has already helped major countries revalue their currency.  There is no doubt in my mind they can do the same thing for Iraq.

 [Continuation of Guru Sandy’s Country Revaluation post 9-25-2025 below]   Let’s look at Germany…Their currency was basically worthless after World War II.  In 1948 allies introduced the Deutsche mark.  Overnight it gave Germany a […]

A revaluation can happen but it requires strong economic fundamentals and political stability.  It also requires international friends because it was the international community that put Kuwait’s currency back on […]

[Here’s the first of Guru Sandy’s country revaluation series]   Iraq is not the first currency in the world where people have dreamed of it revaluing overnight…We know revalues are very silent […]

We know they overprinted the new currency you are holding right now.  If you’re holding the currency with Saddam’s face on it, it still may be worth a little but […]

In 2025, the IMF noted Iraq continues to utilize the transactional Article XIV status instead of formally accepting Article VIII obligations.  It also indicated Iraq does not maintain current account restrictions […]

There’s no IMF approved stamp to list the Iraqi dinar [on Forex].  The IMF’s role is really about surveillance and advice, not flipping currencies on and off the Forex market.  That […]

When people talk about exotic currencies one name always comes up first, the Iraqi dinar.  It captures attention because Iraq is sitting on some of the largest oil reserves in the […]

The IMF doesn’t flip a switch to its a currency.  It watches, advises and grades the policies. Iraq has been fixing pieces of this puzzle but honestly there are still boxes […]

Article:   “Iraq signs $1-B investment deals with World Bank’s IFC“.   If Iraq does good and eliminates corruption, stays on target and completes the projects within the budget that is allowed, the IMF […]

The Iraqi dinar or IQD will only show up broadly on major retail Forex platforms when Iraq’s banking system looks normal to the rest of the world.  That means transparent exchange rate, […]

The fact that you have invested in the Iraqi dinar, an exotic currency, places you in a unique position globally… You must remember you now belong to a unique club where […]

How [do] we as IQD and VND investors fit into the global picture?  Exotic currencies are currencies that are thinly traded in financial markets…It means the big banks…do not invest or […]

Iraq’s prime minister has all but said the Iraqi dinar is undervalued.  He said…Iraq has enough oil reserves for a hundred years.  So [we] are going to go along with less […]

Iraq’s joining the Forex market for regular trading is one of the best solutions for Iraqi dinar investors to be able to cash in our Iraqi dinar banknotes and trade, receiving […]

Sudani is telling us Iraq holds 150 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, enough to provide for more than a century.  He believes this wealth isn’t fairly reflected in the […]

Here’s what still needs to happen before the IQD can be represented on the forex market like other currencies. 1.  Keep the official and street rates aligned and liquid so pricing is […]

There’s not a single button you can press to list the Iraqi dinar on Forex.  It’s really about proving through policies and underlying financial plumbing that the system is clean, the rate […]

 The more Iraq moves on to traceable electronic rails, the easier it is for global partners to say yes to the Iraq dinar…

In the second quarter of 2025 the CBI reduced the amount of currency in circulation to 98.4 trillion dinars…a 3.8% decrease.  This deliberate contraction of money supply played a significant role in […]

Important news from the Central Bank of Iraq.  They are decreasing the circulation of the IQD…Why are they doing this and why it’s so important? …This make the banknotes we are holding more […]

Iraq’s currency isn’t just about math, it’s about stability.  In a calm neighborhood the dinar has a better chance to grow.  In a tense one, it struggled.

Some of us have been waiting over 15 years for the IQD to revalue.  Some of us have faith and other of us have hope.  We put that faith and hope […]

“Breaking News: Under Dire Threat of US Sanctions, Iraq Backs Down – Withdraws Controversial Militia Bill“  Which would have included the PM being integrated into the Iraqi policy.  Iraq just pulled back.  […]

A revaluation needs a strong, stable economy with broad international trade and investment.  If Iraq looks like it’s locking itself into Iran’s orbit that could slow or even stall the momentum needed […]

If Iraq continues to grow closer to Iran, foreign investors from outside the Middle East, especially in Europe, Asia and the United States could start to pull back.  Many countries have sanctions […]

I am completely stressed out over this issue.  International feeds are reporting the White House or the Pentagon has given Iraq 3 weeks to disarm the PMF (Iran backed Popular Mobilization […]

 Syria is revaluing its currency and dropping two zeros.  This talk has been around for a long time for Iraq but Syria is actually doing it.  There’s one slight problem.  Russia […]

There are news reports all over the internet, in the international feed, except from Washington DC, that US troops will be leaving Iraq in September.  However, the Pentagon doesn’t know anything about […]
