MNT GOAT: Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV: What to Expect in December 2025 and Beyond

Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV

As we approach the end of 2025, many investors are asking: “Has the Iraqi Dinar RV begun?” The short answer: not yet. Despite earlier promises of a potential RV around this time, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has not executed the zero removal.

It’s important to remember: the RV does not have to happen on January 1st. There are options throughout the month, including early or late January releases. Patience is key.


Current Signals from the CBI

Recent information from contacts at the CBI indicates:

  • January 2026 is still considered a target for the reinstatement of the Dinar on Forex.

  • All reforms and economic projects undertaken by Iraq—like the Development Road Project, oil sector expansion, and Customs/Tariff improvements—are steps toward re-entering global markets.

  • Reports of delays or discouraging news are often influenced by external propaganda, notably from interests wishing to keep Iraq economically dependent on Iran.

Featured Snippet:

“The CBI continues to work toward the RV, with January 2026 still a target. Reforms and infrastructure projects support Iraq’s plan to re-enter global markets.


Why the Delay?

Delays are tied to several factors:

  1. Security concerns, particularly regarding Iran.

  2. U.S. approval and other international regulatory requirements.

  3. Execution of economic reforms to stabilize Iraq’s financial system.

  4. Political considerations within Iraq, including parliamentary decisions and leadership appointments.

  5. Global market readiness for the Dinar’s return to Forex.

Even though the RV hasn’t occurred yet, experts emphasize that it is still considered a mandatory step for Iraq’s long-term financial goals.


Political Context

Iraq’s political landscape continues to influence the RV timeline:

  • Iraq was under Chapter VII UN sanctions until December 2022.

  • The election of a pro-business, nationalist leader has increased public confidence.

  • Some political parties and “old guard” members continue to propagate delays, despite popular support for reform.

Featured Snippet:

“Political dynamics and international approvals contribute to the RV timing, but the CBI is committed to moving forward when conditions are ready.”

STATUS OF THE RV

________________________________________

If I were you, I would keep the champagne in the frig. The show is not over until the fat lady at the circus sings….. lol.. lol.. ðŸ˜Š It is early December and the CBI may still go ahead with removing the zeros in time for a January release. Oh… but remember it does not have to happen exactly on January 1st as there are thirty-one days in the month. They could also change the plan and remove the zeros in early January and release in late January. There are options.

________________________________________

I wish I could tell everyone that the removing the of the zero has begun but it hasn’t. Here we sit, almost mid-December already and still waiting for the execution of what they told us months ago would occur at about now. Will we have to wait until mid 2026 or longer for the reinstatement? 

I need everyone to listen carefully to the introduction AUDIO when you clicked on the blog today. It plays automatically. Yes, it’s a longer than usual commentary but it is on purpose. Even if this RV does not occur as we hoped in January our hopes and dreams are not all for nothing. Folks they are telling us now this is right around the bend and the dinar is going back to FOREX. It is not an option but a mandatory step for the future financial goals of Iraq. 

Tell me…. why in hell would the CBI along with a huge effort from the GOI go through all these reforms and economic projects i.e. The Development Road Project, expansion of oil, Customs and Tariffs. etc., etc. if they were not serious to re-enter the global markets? 

Come’ on folks why the gloomy faces when I tell you we might have to wait until 2026? Remember I am not hanging the possibility of early January 2026 until my CBI contact tells me to move on. We are still in the ballpark folks. There is lots of discouraging articles, mostly falsified information by the Iranian influence who want to keep the same old status quo of enriching Iran over Iraq. 

So, we are not yet out of the proverbial ‘dog haus’ yet with this RV. All the messages we are getting from the CBI now tell us that January 2026 is still a target for the reinstatement. I have some doubts just as you do, but they are still insistent. I try not to let this news prejudice me too much as I like to see all of it backed up with more evidence. Yes, there is evidence too but there are also issues that must be worked out for the U.S. to allow it to progress. There are security concerns with Iran, but we all already know this, don’t we? You can refresh yourself on the list of the five issues in the September 16th Newsletter. So, what is the current news? Once again it evolves around these five (5) main issues. Surprise! Surprise!

We must remember that up until December 2022, Iraq was still under Chapter VII UN sanctions for repayment of War Reparations. Somehow Iraq managed to finally vote in a guy who is a true patriot of Iraq, a business man, like Trump, who saw the economic potential and knew how to “make Iraq great again” and “Iraq first”. Sound familiar?

The citizens luv him and voted for him in the last election by overwhelming majority (sound familiar again?) , but the political parties don’t seem to care what the people want. Was all the voting for nothing? If I was Al-Sadar I would have my people on the streets rioting to bring about the change necessary to open their ears to listen to the people. Al-Sudani had won the largest parliamentary bloc with nearly 50 seats or more. It should be a no brainer who should be the next prime minister. But they push out propaganda resurrect the old dinosaurs for prime ministers that failed Iraq as new candidates, really?
