MNT GOAT: Iraq’s Path to Monetary Sovereignty: RV Status Update – Part 3

 I have said it many times that this reinstatement of the dinar is nothing but political. Can you see it now in the comments made by Tammy Bruce? If it wasn’t the Dr Shabibi coup would have never happened. The newer lower denominations would be in circulation and we would have already been to the bank. 

We can try to ignore the political side but if we truly want the TRUTH we must connect the pieces and see it. Trump’s policy towards Iraq is one of hope but he is also going to first use Iraq as a platform for peace in the middle east. We have to sit and watch it all play out. 

So today we have a good idea of what the U.S. policy is towards Iraq. When the U.S. really steps up to the plate economically in Iraq you will see wonderous things happen. But first things first as the U.S. does not want it investment squandered by war and instability. This means dealing with Iran and these terrorists organizations first.

Trump wants ACTION not WORDS 

Take a peak at the article titled “TRUMP’S TAX HITS IRAQ’S ECONOMY HARD… 3 URGENTLY NEEDED COURSES OF ACTION”. If you haven’t heard already earlier this week, US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of tariffs on six countries,   30% on Algeria, 25% on Brunei, 30% on Iraq, 30% on Libya, 25% on Moldova, and 25% on the Philippines. We must dive deep as to why Trump is doing this move. He wants to negotiate with these countries and so this is a platform to get their attention to do so. Why have they not already contacted the U.S. on this tariff issue, as they knew darn well it was coming?

In the articles titled:  “INTERNATIONAL WARNING TO IRAQ.. AN EXPERT DISCUSSES THE IMF REPORT: YOU ARE TO BLAME, TOO.” and “IMF EXECUTIVE BOARD CONCLUDES 2025 ARTICLE IV CONSULTATION WITH IRAQ”. We read the pros and cons in the IMF executive summary for Iraq 2025 consultation. Interesting to note it seems the IMF has mixed emotions about the Iraqi economy.

  • Iraq has managed to uphold domestic stability despite regional turmoil and global uncertainty. At the same time, the non-oil economy slowed down in 2024 following a very strong growth in 2023.  (All VERY positive comments about STABILITY)
  • The important part is that Inflation has remained subdued amid weaker demand. Financing constraints and lower oil revenues are expected to constrain fiscal spending, taking an additional toll on economic activity. (This is why the budget tables for 2025 have not yet been released. The GOI does not want to complete the projects allocated for 2025 due to a drop in oil revenues.)
  • Against a baseline of low oil prices, fiscal deficits and external accounts are projected to deteriorate further over the medium term unless significant reforms are undertaken to increase non-oil revenues, control the public wage bill, and boost non-oil growth potential through an ambitious structural reform agenda. (We have read all about these other sources of revenues. Iraq just needs some time to implement them fully. Many of these revenue sources will out weight the revenues from the oil.)

The expert’s criticism of the IMF itself stems from the fact that the IMF itself is unaware of the Iraqi political and social context, which makes implementing the “ready-made recipes” it offers extremely difficult. Its proposals clash with the spread of the deep state’s influence and its obstruction of tax reform aimed at increasing non-oil revenues, for example. (So please don’t tell me we are not supposed to study the political side or that politics has nothing to do with getting the reinstatement done! 😊 All you other intel gurus can safely stay away from politics and give out your stupid nonsense every day- any day RV dates to your listeners, but I stick to reality and common sense, sorry! )

We must continue our prayers. How much do we want the RV? We must consider the Iraqi people to in our prayers as the RV means much more to them than to us. They need their normalcy back to prior to 1991. We must stay focused on the prize. It is coming.
