Comment: Some rumors floating around say Dong @ $5.35/5.40? Hope its true.
MarkZ: I have a short bank story. Somewhere between $5.35 and $5.40 take home for people who have been allowed to deposit …but cannot yet move it out of that bank. It comes with serious restrictions…but it seems something is going on. I am trying to get to the root of this and confirm... Can you imagine taking home $5.35 and $5.40 on exchanging dong. And this is after fees and the spread. So I will be tracking that story and hope to have verification by Monday [1-5-26]. That one got me excited.

We learned that a few of the militia factions residing in Iraq refused to lay down their arms when mandates came from the U.S. to do so…These Iranian influences must first be squashed and neutralized…So, Iraq appears to be heading toward a difficult test: an economy beholden to the dollar and a legislative body openly defying American demands. Do you think the U.S. is going to allow the dinar to be reinstated under these conditions? …I believe the trip in early January 2026 by Mark Savaya will solidify the end to the militias in Iraq as we know them today.

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
OMAR: Many Iraqis feel reforms are too slow and patience is wearing thin especially among the youth and the unemployed population.
FRANK: They know purchasing power is coming and been promised them. They know who says to them it’s coming all the time. And they know the one that pulls the trigger doesn’t open his d**n mouth except to say, ‘I got no plans in doing anything.‘
OMAR: Television showing foreign contractors, some of them Americans, being attacked at hotels by protesters. Citizens are very upset. They voted on November 11th for Sudani to be the prime minister and he’s still not named. And the citizens are upset at the reforms and the lies. This is going sideways fast…
FRANK: …When the smoke clears…everything will be fine.
Question:
“Do you know if the older dinar will be exchangeable, [the ones] before 2003?”
No. If the currency you have has the face of S****m, it’s a collector’s item. If it does not have the face of S****m, the Swiss note…then you are probably going to be okay…
Everything is ready. I don’t know of anything that needs to be done. If I did I’d tell you…Nothing makes sense without the exchange rate…Everything needs a new exchange rate. It’s amazing how so much preparation has been set up for something that refuses to come out. It refuses to come out because of the Iranian influence…

Some of you say, ‘We’ve heard this will be 1 to 1.‘ Technically, yeah, it’s going to be 1 to 1. But you got to look at this from two different angles…Hear me carefully on this. It’ll be 1 to 1 only within the country of Iraq, not outside. Here’s why…Whatever you can buy at the grocery store for a 25,000 dinar note…you’ll be able to buy the same exact items with a 25 dinar note after. So yeah, in the country of Iraq it’ll be 1 to 1…What about outside Iraq? There’s the dinar against foreign currency value…Let’s use a $3.00 as example. You would have a 25,000 note that would be worth $75,000. A 25 note is worth $0.75 cents.

“The dollar ‘earthquake’ this Iraqi markets at the start of 2026…expectations of breaking the 146,000 barrier”
The value of the parallel dollar has gone up. Why? Because trade is increasing. Because the Iraq dinar is not a tradable currency, the dollar is currently their trade currency until they go international, making the dinar tradable. It’s crossing that 146,000 threshold against $100. That’s creating a level of urgency for the central bank to need to revalue most likely after the government is formed.
Question:
“What are the top 5 pressing reasons for the dinar to revalue right now?“
1. Budget period timing. Everything revolving around that.
2. Tax reforms.
3. The timing of banking reforms.
4. Increasing trade and new trade system.
5. There is a tremendous digital transformation occurring right now, transport markets and investor protection. Attracting foreign investors.

“Saleh, stated that the Central Bank of Iraq strongly rejects resorting to devaluing the dinar against the dollar to cover the budget deficit, stressing that “the official price of the dollar will remain as it is at 1320 dinars…”

I don’t care if you think Maliki…Al-Abadi or Sudani is going to be the guy, they told you that’s secondary to the economic situation. We’ll see who it is but it’s obvious to everyone that Al-Sudani and what he’s done has been directly related to taking care of the citizens…
The Ministry of Trade announced on January 4, 2026 advanced preparations for Iraq’s World Trade Organization membership. This includes legislative updates and bilateral negotiations with the 4th working party meeting expected soon. They don’t tell you why. Why didn’t they tell you, why they didn’t do it the first quarter of 2025? …Probably has an exchange rate orientation to it…

Islamic banking and Western world banking…is really really different…Western banking systems are built on interest, debt, and guaranteed returns. While Iraq’s banking structure is largely based on Islamic finance which prohibits interest and instead relies on risk sharing, asset backed transactions and real economic activity…The IMF, BIS and global correspondent banks assume interest based lending, predictable loan structures and standardized repayment models. Islamic banking does not naturally fit into these assumptions…Because of this mismatch the Central Bank of Iraq cannot simply adopt Western banking rules without risking serious instability…Instead the CBI must carefully redesign its banking framework to operate within international systems while preserving Islamic banking principles…This is why banking reform in Iraq is proceeding more slowly than usual.

All that is waiting for the new exchange rate has already been agreed upon by the right people. The monetary reform is done. It is a done deal. Ain’t no stopping it now.
