Iraqi retirees are angry about the delay in their pensions and are demanding that banking officials be held accountable
Iraqi retirees are angry about the delay in their pensions and are demanding that banking officials be held accountable.
On Tuesday, a number of retirees called on members of parliament to host those responsible for the delay in salary payments, particularly the directors of government banks, specifically Al-Rafidain and Al-Rasheed banks.
The retirees told Shafaq News Agency that the lack of financial liquidity, along with weak banking development, the failure to introduce modern technologies and keep pace with technology, have greatly contributed to the exacerbation of the crises, in addition to the absence of strategic plans and poor performance in banking work.
He pointed out that modernizing banking systems and adopting modern electronic means would increase revenues, strengthen the state treasury, and improve the level of services provided to citizens.
The retirees also called on the relevant authorities to take urgent measures to address the crisis and ensure the regular disbursement of salaries, given its direct impact on the living conditions of a large segment of citizens.
The Ministry of Finance had previously called on government banks to work on Friday and Saturday in order to boost funding and expedite salary payments, but this step did not achieve tangible results due to the continued shortage of liquidity and financial balance. link
FRANK26, FIREFLY & OMAR: 💱 Dinar Shortage Signals Currency Shift as Maliki Scandal Explodes in Iraqi Media
🇮🇶 Boots on the Ground: Severe Dinar Shortage Confirmed
According to Firefly, reporting directly from inside Iraq:
“There is a severe shortage of dinars…”
At first glance, this may sound alarming — but Frank26 immediately reframes the narrative.
💡 Frank26: This Is NOT a Crisis — It’s the Plan
Frank26 explains that the dinar shortage is intentional and strategic, not accidental.
“Of course there is a storage of 3 zero notes. That’s been the whole purpose of the monetary reform for many years now.”
What’s Really Happening:
Large 3-zero notes are being pulled from circulation
Currency supply is being tightened
Iraq is preparing for a value increase
Lower denomination notes must replace the old structure
This is a textbook monetary transition, not a failure.
📉 Why a Dinar Shortage Forces a Value Increase
Frank26 breaks it down clearly:
“This is when you need to raise the value of your currency so you can introduce the lower notes.”
Why This Matters:
You cannot introduce small bills at a low exchange rate
Purchasing power must increase first
Liquidity comes from value, not volume
“It’s not a crisis… it’s a continuation process of the monetary reform.”
In short: this is great news.
💵 Liquidity Is Coming — But in a New Form
Frank26 emphasizes that Iraq is not running out of money — it is changing the structure of money.
Old notes → stored
New lower notes → introduced
Value → adjusted upward
Liquidity → restored properly
This sequence aligns perfectly with global monetary reform standards.
📺 Maliki Wikileaks Explode Across Iraqi Media
Adding fuel to the moment, Omar reports a major media shift inside Iraq:
“Apparently whatever was signed with the CBI and the media busted all of this Maliki Wikileaks information loose…”
What Changed?
Restrictions appear lifted
Corruption allegations are now openly discussed
Iraqi television is covering Maliki in detail
The public is fully aware
“The details about Maliki’s alleged corruption are definitely out there on Iraq’s television.”
⚠️ Why the Timing of the Maliki Scandal Matters
The sudden media exposure is not random.
Key Implications:
Political cleanup is accelerating
Public opinion is being prepared
Problem figures are being discredited
Monetary reform requires trusted leadership
This aligns with earlier reports of Maliki being removed from influence.
🧩 Currency Reform + Political Exposure = Sequence
Taken together, these developments form a clear sequence:
Pull 3-zero notes
Tighten dinar supply
Prepare lower denominations
Increase currency value
Expose and remove corrupt actors
Restore confidence
Nothing here is accidental.

ANOTHER BLOW TO THE CONSTITUTION: THE FAILURE TO ELECT A PRESIDENT BRINGS BACK THE SCENARIO OF COLDLY DISREGARDING CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
ANOTHER BLOW TO THE CONSTITUTION: THE FAILURE TO ELECT A PRESIDENT BRINGS BACK THE SCENARIO OF COLDLY DISREGARDING CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
The constitutional process in Iraq has suffered another setback with the postponement of the presidential election session, despite the country nearing the end of the constitutional deadline.
This comes at a time when Parliament was expected to resolve this sovereign issue, amidst escalating political disputes, particularly within the Kurdish political bloc, and conflicting interpretations regarding adherence to constitutional timelines.
In a move that has raised widespread questions, the parliamentary session designated for electing the president did not convene, even though the constitutional deadline is in its final stages. This has revived fears of a repeat of past instances where deadlines were exceeded.
The Parliament’s media office announced the postponement of the presidential election session in a brief statement, without specifying a new date. Some members of Parliament stated that the postponement was due to the lack of necessary political consensus to hold the session, which has opened the door to various interpretations regarding the future of the process and the possibility of circumventing constitutional deadlines.
A Kurdish request for postponement:
According to official documents, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) submitted a request to postpone the session due to ongoing disagreements within the Kurdish political bloc regarding the presidential candidate. The lack of a final consensus that would allow for a decisive election session prompted the postponement to avoid the session’s failure or its holding without results.
The core of the crisis lies in the continued division between the two main Kurdish parties. The KDP has put forward its candidate, Fuad Hussein, while the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) insists on its candidate, Nizar Amidi. Political mediation efforts have thus far failed to unify positions or agree on a compromise candidate, leaving the presidency hostage to the Kurdish-Kurdish dispute and its repercussions on the power balance in Baghdad.
Political analyst Ali Nasser, familiar with the issue of exceeding deadlines, stated that “adherence to constitutional deadlines has not been consistent in past sessions, as we have witnessed, on more than one occasion, exceeding these deadlines, sometimes by several months.”
Nasser added to Iraq Observer that “what distinguishes the current phase from its predecessors is the clear emphasis by the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, on the necessity of adhering to important constitutional deadlines, even though the Iraqi constitution does not explicitly stipulate penalties for exceeding these deadlines.”
Nasser explained that “divisions within the Kurdish political bloc have directly impacted the selection of the president, given the lack of a unified candidate from the two main parties,” noting that “these divisions coincided with the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership, which has added a new layer of complexity to the political landscape.”
He added that “the agreements were supposed to be decided first within the Kurdish house, before moving on to discussing them with the Coordination Framework as the representative of the largest bloc, but the recent meetings, whether between the Coordination Framework and the Democratic Party, or with the Patriotic Union, did not result in setting clear deadlines or agreeing on final names.”
In this context, constitutional experts explain that Article (72/First/B) of the Constitution set the deadline for electing the President of the Republic at thirty days from the date of the first meeting of the new House of Representatives. Since the House held its first session on December 29, 2025, the last day of the constitutional deadline is January 29, 2026.
(Mnt Goat: This date is Thursday, today! 
)
They emphasize that the calculation of the period begins from the date of the meeting, not from the date of the vote, and that any interpretation to the contrary leads to an unjustified extension of a deadline explicitly stipulated in the constitution, noting that the procedural deadlines for nomination, objection and judicial resolution are part of this deadline and not added to it.
With open scenarios and the country entering the final days of the constitutional deadline, fears are growing that the continuation of political disputes will lead to a new postponement, which may open the door to another jump over deadlines, not only in the election of the President of the Republic, but also with regard to the appointment of the next Prime Minister, in a scene that indicates the weakness of political consensus, and the difficulty of managing constitutional entitlements within their specified timeframes.
FRANK26 & CLARE: 🚨 New Iraq Exchange Rate Incoming? Frank26 Links Political Cleanup to Major CBI Reform
🇮🇶 A New Exchange Rate Is Being Admitted — Even by Iranian Politicians
According to Frank26, a stunning development is unfolding behind the scenes:
“Iranian politicians in Iraq are admitting you are about to receive a new exchange rate with the new formation of your government.”
This admission is critical. It signals that the currency reform is no longer speculation, but an acknowledged outcome — pending final political seating.
What Must Happen First:
✅ Seat the President
✅ Confirm the Prime Minister
❌ Remove hostile foreign influence
Once these steps are complete, Frank26 says the next phase begins immediately.
⚠️ Coordinating Framework Tries to Claim Credit
Frank26 warns that the Coordinating Framework party is attempting to take credit for the coming changes.
“They are trying to take credit for something that does not belong to them because they know it’s coming.”
Why?
Because they cannot stop it.
Frank26 describes this moment as:
“Capitulation on steroids.”
In other words, resistance has failed — and the shift is inevitable.
🇺🇸 U.S. Moves to Remove Maliki and Alaq
One of the most powerful claims in this update is the role of the United States.
“The United States of America right now are in the process of removing Maliki and Alaq because they are loyal to Iran.”
Why This Matters for Monetary Reform:
Iranian loyalty is considered too dangerous for currency reform
Banking sovereignty must be restored
Trust with global financial institutions is non-negotiable
Frank26 is blunt:
“There is no chance for Alaq and Maliki.”
However, he adds:
“There’s a chance for Sudani.”
This clearly defines who is in — and who is out.
📣 A Massive Public Awareness Campaign Is Coming
Once leadership is finalized and obstacles removed, Frank26 says the next step will be unavoidable:
“A massive campaign that will start to talk to the citizens about all the things we have talked to you about for a long time.”
This signals:
Currency education
Economic reform messaging
Public preparation for change
Historically, this type of campaign only happens when implementation is imminent.
🏦 Clare Confirms: CBI Enters a New Global Financial Era
Supporting Frank26’s claims, Clare highlights a major institutional breakthrough from the Central Bank of Iraq.
📄 Article:
“The Central Bank of Iraq is the first institution in the Iraqi state to implement program and performance budgeting”
This is not a cosmetic change — it is a global-standard reform.
📊 CBI Approves Its 2026 Budget Using Global Methodology
According to the official quote:
“The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq approved the Bank's budget for 2026, adopting the program and performance budgeting methodology…”
Why This Is Huge:
This budgeting system is used by modern, transparent economies
It focuses on efficiency, accountability, and outcomes
It aligns Iraq with international financial governance
🌍 CBI Leads Iraq Into Modern Financial Management
Even more important:
“The Central Bank of Iraq announces its readiness to provide technical support and training to Iraqi state institutions…”
This means:
The CBI is now the leader, not a follower
Iraq is transitioning from traditional to modern budgeting
Financial governance standards are being elevated nationwide
This is exactly what organizations like the IMF, World Bank, and BIS require.

🔹 Is Iraq getting a new exchange rate?
According to Frank26, Iraqi and Iranian political sources acknowledge a new exchange rate is coming once the President and Prime Minister are seated.

Frank26 states they are loyal to Iran, posing a risk to Iraq’s monetary reform and global banking compliance.
🔹 Why is the CBI’s 2026 budget important?

❓ Q&A Section
Q: Is the exchange rate tied to government formation?
Yes. Leadership seating is the final political requirement.
Q: Can the Coordinating Framework stop this?
No. Frank26 says they are already conceding.
Q: Does CBI reform support currency change?
Absolutely. Modern budgeting signals readiness for monetary transition.
Q: Will citizens be informed?
Yes. A national awareness campaign is expected.
🧠 Final Breakdown
Frank26 and Clare together paint a clear picture:
❌ Maliki and Alaq are being removed
✅ Sudani still has a path
💱 A new exchange rate is openly acknowledged
🏦 The CBI is already operating at global standards
📣 Public education is next
This is not theory — it is sequence.
And sequence matters.

Iranian politicians in [Iraq] are admitting you are about to receive a new exchange rate with the new formation of your government as soon as you get that president and the prime minister in place. Indeed, this is jumping the gun and [the Coordinating Framework party] are trying to take credit for something that does not belong to them because they know it's coming. They cannot stop it...That is capitulation on steroids...
The United States of America right now...are in the process of removing Maliki and Alaq because they are loyal to Iran and that's too dangerous for the monetary reform. They shouldn't have been playing all these games. The evidence we have against them is bad. There's a chance for Sudani but there is no chance for Alaq and Maliki.
The next step will be a massive campaign that will start to talk to the citizens about all the things [we] have talked to you about for a long time..
