Bond Updates & RV Expectations
A recent bond update indicates that processing is still ongoing, with expectations remaining that completion could happen at any time, although delays of a few days are still possible. Importantly, there is no negative news—only confirmation that systems are actively moving forward.
This aligns with long-standing expectations that bond completions and currency value changes
Iraq’s Banking Reforms: The Core of the White Paper Strategy
Monetary Policy Indicators Signal Completion
Statements from Iraqi leadership confirm that:
Banking and monetary reforms spanning 2023–2025 are effectively completed
The reforms are specifically designed to lift the purchasing power of the dinar
Remaining banking adjustments are expected to conclude
within this month
This supports the narrative that Iraq is no longer “planning reforms”—they are executing the final stages.
Digital Transformation: Ports, Customs & Currency Control
Iraq is rapidly modernizing its infrastructure:
Digital customs systems to track goods and improve tax collection
Sonar and networking technologies at ports
Full tracking of boats, trucks, planes, and trains
Reduction of black-market dollar leakage
These measures are essential for currency stability and international trust, both prerequisites for any meaningful RV.
Is Iraq Implementing a QFS-Style System?
Many observers note similarities between Iraq’s reforms and what’s often referred to as QFS-style financial architecture, including:
Real-time tracking of funds
Transparent customs processing
Digitized banking oversight
Reduced corruption through automation
Whether labeled QFS or not, the outcome is the same: a controlled, transparent financial ecosystem.
HCL Law, Sovereignty & Political Signals
The discussion surrounding the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) remains critical. Many believe:
The HCL must be implemented with an accurate rate in place
Parliamentary action before year-end strongly suggests immediate economic intent
Statements from Prime Minister Sudani reinforce urgency—not delays until 2026
Additionally, Iraq is actively:
Reducing Iranian influence
Strengthening ties with Gulf nations
Preparing to export electricity in the future
All signs point toward economic independence and stability.
RV Timing: January 2025 or Earlier?
While January 2nd is often mentioned as a logical starting point for monetary changes, no one can confirm exact timing.
However:
New fiscal years historically align with currency adjustments
Banking reforms are reportedly completing now
Political and infrastructure readiness is accelerating
Many hoped for a “Christmas RV,” but logic suggests the start of a new year remains a strong window.

As one member joked:
