…most still expect things to kick off Tuesday or Wednesday of this week on the currency side. Bonds should see a very interesting 48 hours if what they were being told is accurate. Things seem to be coming to a head this week…Many things are pointing to currency breaking loose this week.
We don’t know the timing. I don’t know if this is the week…but many contacts believe it could be the week… A number of…[Bond] contacts are still telling me they expect big things today and tomorrow…and this should impact our timing on currency.
Article:
“The coordination framework will meet early next week to decide Maliki’s candidacy for Prime Minister”
Maliki is not a shoe-in at this point. He may not make it through this meeting. If he doesn’t…we will see it go to Sudani.

Eventually, these high rates that we’ll get on Dong and dinar…will settle down and be on par, meaning… on par with the USN dollar, the new dollar.

“Catastrophic collapse of the Iranian currency: The Iranian rial is now worth 0 US dollars”

“The war between the dinar and speculators: details of government measures to contain the parallel dollar”
Quote:
“A multi-front battle is underway to maintain the stability of the national currency and prevent the exchange rate in the parallel markets from plummeting …administrative c********n that caused the leakage of hard currency through …Baghdad International Airport…The aim…is to curb irrational speculation that artificially inflates demand for the dollar. The government believes that narrowing the gap between the official rate (1320) and the parallel market rate necessarily requires cutting off the sources of political dollars and smuggled dollars…Iraqi government Determined to end the ‘dual exchange rate’ this year”

What did we need in order for the new exchange rate to come out? What did we need for purchasing power to be given to the Iraqi citizens through lifting the three zeros of the exchange rate? Security and stability. From what? From Iran and the Iranian influence inside of the government and banks of Iraq…
Question:
“If Iraq keeps delaying, could the Dong go first?”
Yes, but the Iraqi dinar will go first.
Community Comment:
“A tax man said there is no tax on currency exchanges.”
You’re right on currency exchanges but this is a capital gain when you do a foreign exchange. If you go on a trip and come back, no that’s different.

There’s 4 steps in their government formation. Parliament is one. Presidents are two. Prime Minister is three and the prime minister forming his cabinet would be the 4th step towards final completion …Sudani’s got this…The next major thing I’m looking for…is to know when they’re going to…complete the president. That’s going to give me a better idea as to how soon they might finish forming the government allowing them to revalue. In other words, is there a possibility we have a change for January or will it go into February…They have until January 29th to complete the president. I don’t think it’ll take that long. They could have the president done this week…They’re not far out on that.
You’re seeing all the critical indicators showing you that they’re about to revalue the currency. It’s not a secret. Look how they ended ’25 and stepped into ’26. The US pulled all its combat troops out by the end of ’25. The UN exited all their facilities…Both the UN and US declared Iraq a sovereign state…That’s almost like the sanctions coming off… Iraq stepping into ’26 are able to go international. And they’re showing you they’re going international…They’re so close to going international it’s not a secret but the rate has to change first.
Remember Trump said back in January of 2020 the US is not going to exit until they pay us. Well, we have a gazillion dinar, but technically they haven’t paid us until that dinar has a value applied to it. That’s when we’re paid, when they’ve revalued and the currency that we have has value…and they’ve reinstated.

Iraq’s electronic payment systems have been steadily reducing the amount of physical cash circulating on the street of the last 5+ years. The data shows clear measurable progress…Pre-2020 baseline cash was dominant, 99% transactions with high reliance on physical dinar notes…Move forward…2023 CBI reported cash circulation dropped 20% to 30% from 2018…By late 2025, cash dependency fell to 65% of payments from 95% in 2020...The reduction in cash is ever going until they go cash-less… Current year 2026, cash on the street continues to decline as digital dinar pilots expand and private sector adoption grows…Lower cash reliance strengthens the CBI’s ability to manage the peg and prepare for potential managed REER adjustments…Electronic systems are successfully pulling cash off the street and the pace is accelerating…
What they’re getting ready to do is they’re getting ready to spring a digital dinar on us…They’re hammering all this [progress] home. They keep talking about the same things over and over again because of the education process…

Iran is experiencing one of the largest protest movements in years…The protests began in late December 2025 due to economic hardship, inflation and public anger over government priorities…Human rights groups say hundreds have been k****d and thousands arrested during the crackdown…Iranian authorities have imposed a nearly nationwide internet blackout, cutting off phone and web access…Iran and Iraq have very deep political, economic and security ties. Instability in Iran reverberates in Iraq…Iran backed militants are active in Iraq…If Iran becomes unstable, these groups could shift focus, change alliances or increase activity to protect Iranian interest. This could destabilize Iraq’s fragile security landscape.
Iraq will need to do something about the billions of IQD’s floating around the world. That is what I worry about on a daily basis. I’m deeply concerned with how will Iraq gain control over its physical currency or banknotes. In the meantime, Iraq released good news…Iraq has quietly crossed a historical economic threshold, recording more than $100 billion in investments over the last three years…

Article:
“Iraq has achieved more than US$102 billion in investments over the past three years, reflecting rising confidence among domestic and foreign investors, according to a 2025 review issued by the National Investment Commission (NIC)”
Investment and confidence in Iraq abounds in an environment utilizing a severely devalued Dinar. The RV has nothing to do with Iraq’s ability to grow, attract investors, or build out infrastructure… The flimsy e*******l system is a major impediment to Iraq achieving economic diversity and stability. Neither are a reality at the moment but they are getting there.

O***a wanted Maliki out back in 2014…Perhaps Maliki didn’t align well with O***a and the D********e cronies…Can we assume that Trump therefore may like the idea of Maliki? Are enemies of an enemy a friend? I have said amongst our circles many times, “What if Maliki actually was a good guy and the media was told to make him look bad?“ Look at how the media maligns those that they don’t want in power, (i.e. Trump)
