STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 3
Good News – Let’s look at some of the other very recent articles in the news from Iraq:
😊“AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING A STATE OF RECOVERY, GROWTH, PROGRESS, AND PROSPERITY.” :
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process.
He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects. Did he say establishing “security and stability” ? Oh boy I have heard these terms many times already. Do you believe it yet?
😊“AL-MANDLAWI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING STABILITY AND HAS AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INVESTMENTS.” :
First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen al-Mandalawi affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends. He also stated that Iraq invites reputable companies to invest in Iraq and benefit from its internal stability and attractive environment.
The consulting firms EY and Oliver Wyman reviewed plans to reform and upgrade the public and private banking sectors in line with international standards and facilitate the integration of Iraqi banks into the international financial network.
😊“GEOPOLITICAL FLUCTUATIONS AND OIL MARKETS: HOW CAN IRAQ PROTECT ITS ECONOMY FROM SHOCKS?” :
The Iraqi economy: financial hedging and relative stability
Despite global challenges, Salih affirmed that Iraq’s financial situation is stable, with the first quarter of 2025 drawing to a close without any financial disruptions. The country’s fiscal policy is also operating with high discipline, ensuring the provision of salaries, pensions, and social welfare, in addition to the continued implementation of service projects according to the government’s program.
Finally, is Iraq heading towards financial stability?
While the world experiences severe volatility in oil markets, Iraq’s fiscal policy appears to be moving steadily toward hedging and stability, while ensuring the sustainability of public revenues. As the three-year budget continues, the question remains: Will Iraq remain immune to the coming economic storms, or will geopolitical challenges impose a new reality on global oil markets?
Now that we had all this good news, let’s look at the other side. The side that still has to be dealt with. The negative side of Iraq. We can’t deny reality and these issues still linger with Iran and corruption. Remember Iraq is in the middle east, still a very volatile area of the world. Iraq has been a “bad boy” in the past and we all witnessed the corruption and money laundering over these past two decades. The fact is this is why they still sit today without a normalized currency. They can’t escape this reality and even though they are making strides in the right direction, a very conscious effort to rehabilitate themselves, there are still lingering consequences to face from the past. The news from Iraq has told us many times in the past that the U.S. is using economic warfare to mold Iraq to their bidding. Do you believe the RV is going to happen while this attitude towards Iraq prevails? When will this U.S. attitude change?
If you read the full articles below you can see that we can also interpret this news as good news for Iraq too since the U.S. is finally taking serous interest in Iraq with good intentions to help it. But Iraq does not know what is best for itself, at least this is the “conquers” attitude still towards Iraq. I am talking mostly about the Iraq sovereignty. When will they truly regain their full sovereignty again?
Let’s now look at the other side of the equation in the recent news from Iraq:
☹“ AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.” :
Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.
☹“MP: AMERICA HAS NO OTHER MEANS OF PRESSURING IRAQ THAN ECONOMIC MEANS.” :
Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals. Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”
