Introduction: Following the Logic, Not the Hype
In his latest commentary, Jeff walks viewers through what he calls the “common sense road”—connecting Iraq’s stated goals of going international with the practical requirements needed to make that transition possible.
His conclusion is direct and data-driven:
If Iraq is truly going international, the Iraqi dinar must become a convertible, tradable currency—and that requires a rate change.
Going International: What It Actually Requires
Jeff stresses that “going international” is not just a headline—it is a technical and legal process that demands specific financial conditions.
1. International Trade Requires a Convertible Currency
For Iraq to conduct world trade at 100% capacity, it must have:
A tradable currency
A recognized exchange rate
Compatibility with international settlement systems
A restricted or artificially maintained rate cannot support global trade.
2. Banking Reforms Cannot Be Completed Without a Rate Change
Jeff highlights that:
Iraq’s banking reforms are not optional
They are designed to integrate Iraq into the global financial system
“In order for them to implement the banking reforms 100%, they need the rate to change.”
Without a realistic exchange rate:
Correspondent banking fails
International clearing becomes impossible
Investor confidence remains limited
3. Parliament’s 150+ Laws Are Rate-Dependent
Jeff reminds viewers that Iraq has over 150 laws pending or partially implemented.
Many of these laws are tied to:
Trade
Customs
Banking
Investment
International agreements
“World Trade—they need that convertible currency.”
Without a functional exchange rate, these laws cannot be fully activated.
The Timing Argument: “They’re Going International Next Month”
Jeff emphasizes that the timeline is tightening.
Iraq has repeatedly stated intentions to expand global trade
Infrastructure, banking platforms, and customs systems are being aligned
International partnerships are already forming
From Jeff’s perspective, the logic is unavoidable:
International status without a convertible currency does not work.
Syria as a Regional Signal: January 2026 Matters
Jeff points to an important regional development that supports the timing.
Article: “Syria to Launch New Currency from January 2026”
Key details:
Launch date: January 1, 2026
Action: Removal of two zeros (redenomination)
Purpose: Ease transactions and stabilize the economy
“Notice how as sanctions are getting lifted, those are what allowed Syria to do this step in January.”
Why Syria Matters to Iraq
Jeff argues this is not coincidence.
Sanctions lifted → currency reform enabled
Regional synchronization → coordinated economic reset
January 2026 → a strategic monetary window
Iraq and Syria operate within the same regional and geopolitical environment, making parallel reforms highly relevant.
Common Sense Economics: Jeff’s Core Message
Jeff is not predicting dates—he is outlining requirements.
International trade → needs a tradable currency
Banking reform → needs a realistic rate
Legislative progress → needs currency functionality
“I’m just taking you down common sense road.”
From this viewpoint, the rate change is not speculation—it is a prerequisite.
Featured Snippets
Why must Iraq change the dinar rate to go international?
A country cannot conduct full international trade or banking reforms without a convertible, tradable currency recognized by global markets.
What does Syria’s January 2026 currency launch signal?
It shows how lifting sanctions enables monetary reform and suggests a broader regional reset aligned with early 2026.
How are Iraq’s laws connected to the exchange rate?
Over 150 Iraqi laws related to trade, banking, and investment depend on a functional exchange rate to be fully implemented.
Q&A Section
Q: Is Iraq officially international already?
A: Iraq is in transition, but full international status requires currency convertibility.
Q: Can banking reforms finish without a rate change?
A: According to Jeff, no—banking reforms require a tradable currency.
Q: Why is January 2026 important?
A: Regional currency reforms, including Syria’s, align with that timeframe.
Key Takeaway from Jeff
Jeff’s analysis is rooted in logic, not emotion:
You cannot trade globally without a tradable currency
You cannot finish banking reforms without a rate change
You cannot activate international laws without exchange rate functionality
If Iraq is truly moving international, the dinar must follow.

I'm just taking you down common sense road. They're going international next month...
Article: "Syria to launch new currency from January 2026 in bid to revive economy" Consider the timing when things are happening and why.
Article quote: "Syria will launch and redenominated currency January 1, 2026, removing 2 zeros to ease transactions and stabilize the economy following the lifting of US sanctions..." Notice how as sanctions are getting lifted, those are what allowed Syria to do this step in January.
