IRAQ: SAYS
🔥🇮🇶 IRAQ JUST DROPPED TWO BOMBS — AND NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION 🇮🇶🔥
1. Iraq CONFIRMS Oil Hedging — Welcome to the Big Leagues
Prime Minister Salih's advisor just revealed that Iraq has hedged its oil revenues, protecting its entire economy from price declines.
This isn't just intelligence. It's what sovereign, globally integrated economies do.
Iraq just joined that club.
Protect against market declines and profit during volatility.
Iraq just did it, domestically, with oil as an asset. It's its main export.
Translation: They're ready to enter the big game.

2. The budget tables (2025) are FINISHED — Sent to Al-Sudani's Cabinet for approval
Planning Minister Tamim confirmed that the tables are already in the hands of the Council of Ministers.
This is the exact process:
• Cabinet vote
• Parliamentary review and vote
• Budget published
This means the exchange rate is likely set or about to be set.
And guess what? No new projects were added.
Why? Because this is a budget for activation, not for experimentation.
They are ready to execute. Not for guessing.
—
3. Salaries paid early — Internal stability assured
Salaries, including those of retirees, were paid before Eid al-Fitr.
This is strategic. It sends a message:
"We are stable, we have liquidity, and we are ready."
They want the population to be calm before a drastic change.
—
Extra: The budget is 200 billion Iraqi dinars with a deficit of 64 billion.
Sounds huge, right? But here's the catch:
At a new rate, that budget is drastically reduced in dollar terms.
This is the setup phase.
The budget was designed with a different exchange rate in mind.
Everything is aligning.
—
Final conclusion:
Iraq has just:
• Hedged oil as a global player
• Finalized the budget tables
• Guaranteed internal stability
• Sent all signals discreetly: no hype, just precision
Watched the Council of Ministers closely.
That's the next step before the floodgates open.
Regards
Hernán
