π¦π° “Iraq Pulls Cash, Adds Gold — RV Strategy or Survival Move?”
π Fnu Lnu Analysis | August 2025 Breakdown
π CBI Cuts Physical Currency — Why It Matters
π° According to the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI):
“In Q2 2025, issued currency amounted to 98.4 trillion dinars ($75.1B) — a 3.8% drop from Q2 2024’s 102.3 trillion dinars.”
π‘ This tactic is not random. It’s a known economic play:
Reduce cash in circulation
Lower inflation
Increase currency control
πΊπΈ Even the U.S. does this to tighten liquidity.
⚠️ But there’s a consequence:
Fewer dinars + fewer goods = liquidity crunch for everyday Iraqis.
π The big question:
“Where did that 3.8% of missing cash go?”
Possible answer? Keep reading…
πͺ CBI Quietly Boosting Gold Reserves
π° Another major report from CBI:
Iraq has seen a "significant increase" in gold reserves.
But no records show external gold purchases.
π Why?
Because Iraq already owned the gold — likely Saddam-era reserves that were hidden, protected, and now slowly reinserted.
π‘ Instead of buying, Iraq is repatriating what was always theirs — quietly strengthening reserves without triggering markets.
ππ± What’s the Strategy Here?
Fnu Lnu suggests:
Iraq is resourceful but still short on hard liquid assets (like USD)
They are buying time by tightening currency and stacking gold
Not quite ready for a revaluation — but they’re getting there
π Pulling cash from the public + injecting gold into reserves = Iraq trying to stabilize before pulling the RV trigger.
π Key Takeaways:
Iraq is shrinking its physical currency supply strategically
Gold reserves are being rebuilt from domestic caches, not purchases
CBI is walking a fine line to control inflation and prepare for a monetary shift
Revaluation requires liquidity, and gold is their chosen foundation
