The narrator expresses optimism about Iraq's economic future based on these developments. He expects further progress on key laws and investment projects in the near future.
The narrator shares information from sources in Iraq indicating that the new Iraqi Prime Minister is taking care of displaced citizens by providing a 4 million dinar grant. Prime Minister Sudani wants to make sure registered displaced families receive it.
There is talk of appointing a new parliament speaker to put forward budget amendments. Things are fluid but progressing towards revaluing the dinar, with the budget reveal expected soon.
A bank contact suggests the new exchange rate will be 1 dinar to $1.32, increased from the current 1,320 dinars per dollar, to give more purchasing power. Calculations from a recent contract suggest a potential rate starting at 1,306.
The narrator says this confirms there will be no lopping of the currency and the rate change is coming off the official exchange rate. Everyone seems to be doing similar calculations and arriving at a potential revaluation to around 1,300 dinars per $1 USD.
The narrator is excited about the prospect of the dinar revaluing soon based on the budget reveal timing and all the confirming indicators. There is a lot of positive momentum building in Iraq and from various Intel sources.

Key points:
The narrator, a 24-year-old merchant cash advance broker, shares three mistakes he recently made while trying to secure business funding for clients:
1. A business owner with strong finances wasn't approved because he didn't have online banking. Online banking access is required for the private investors to verify and fund the loan.
2. Another business owner didn't realize online banking access would be required. When asked to provide login access, he declined due to privacy concerns, losing out on funding.
3. The narrator missed an opportunity with a legitimate New York business owner because the inquiry seemed questionable at first. It turned out to be a real, financeable deal but the narrator's skepticism caused him to miss it.
To avoid these mistakes, the narrator recommends:
- Making online banking requirements clear upfront before signing contracts.
- Treating every funding opportunity as legitimate and following up quickly, rather than dismissing questionable inquiries.
