Clare: The Central Bank of Iraq comments on the possibility of changing the dollar exchange rate.
9/28/2025
Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq denied on Sunday any plans to change the dinar’s exchange rate against the dollar.
During a dialogue session at the Iraq Investment Forum, attended by a Shafaq News Agency correspondent, Al-Alaq said, “There is no talk or discussion within the Central Bank or the government about adjusting the official exchange rate for the dollar.”
He added, “Everything that is being circulated is untrue.”
The dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar has fluctuated significantly in recent years. After the previous government, headed by Mustafa al-Kadhimi, changed it from 121,000 dinars per $100 to 140,000 dinars, the current government, headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, changed it again to 132,000 dinars per $100.
During previous changes, its price in the local market remained significantly higher than the official rate, reaching 170,000 dinars per 100 dinars, before recently stabilizing at a slight margin. LINK

Nader From The Mid East It’s impossible Iraq stay at 1310. I’m telling you it’s impossible. You look at many countries, like Guatemala, they’re not that way and they have nothing besides bananas.

Silver Nearing All-Time Highs – Expect Fireworks | Tavi Costa
Liberty and Finance: 9-27-2025
Tavi Costa from Crescat Capital shares his outlook on silver as the long-anticipated cup-and-handle formation finally plays out, with prices surging toward $50.
He emphasizes that silver’s strength stems from its role as a monetary metal tied to gold’s cycle, not just industrial demand, making mining companies deeply undervalued and highly leveraged to rising prices.
Costa points to the U.S. twin deficit crisis, a weakening dollar, and financial repression as key catalysts driving both precious metals and emerging market opportunities.
He highlights the appeal of emerging markets, where resource-driven economies and suppressed valuations could deliver returns similar to the explosive gains of the early 2000s.
Overall, he argues we are still only in the early-to-mid stages of a powerful secular bull market in commodities and hard assets.
