Iraq High-Level RV Trigger Map: Current Status & Next Steps
Iraq High-Level RV Trigger Map: Milestones & Status
Here’s an up-to-date snapshot of Iraq’s progress—no hype, just verified milestones that indicate readiness for the next phase in monetary reform and potential currency adjustment.
🔐 Political Rehabilitation (Dec 2nd) – STATUS: COMPLETE
Key achievements:
✅ Chapter VII officially ended
✅ UN supervision removed
✅ Sovereignty fully restored
Iraq has successfully cleared one of the most critical political prerequisites, marking the official restoration of full sovereignty.
🏦 Banking & Financial Compliance (Dec 2nd) – STATUS: COMPLETE
Key achievements:
✅ Banks audited and restructured
✅ AML (Anti-Money Laundering) systems installed
✅ Multi-currency permissions reinstated
✅ BIS metrics synced
✅ Digital dinar pilot underway
Iraq’s financial infrastructure is now fully compliant with international banking standards, setting the stage for future FX market entry.
🌍 International Economic Reentry (Aug–Sept) – STATUS: COMPLETE
Key achievements:
✅ Oil exports restored
✅ Sovereign funds routed via U.S. financial channels
✅ International trade treaties reinstated
✅ Diplomatic normalization in progress
These milestones signal Iraq’s return to the global economic system with secure and functional trade and banking relationships.
⚙️ Domestic Monetary Controls – STATUS: ACTIVE
Key steps underway:
✅ Capital flight suppression (Dec 1 reform)
✅ Customs clearance enforcement
✅ FX leakage tightening
Iraq continues strengthening internal financial stability, controlling potential risks before opening the currency fully.
📜 IMF Formality Gate – STATUS: PENDING
Key items:
⬜ Acceptance into Article VIII status (full exchange convertibility)
⬜ Permission for FX liberalization
Next major step: IMF procedural clearance. Once complete, Iraq can begin FX market operations in earnest.
🚀 Currency Adjustment Phase – STATUS: FUTURE EVENT
Planned next moves include:
⬜ Managed float activation
⬜ Appreciation aligned to reserve backing
⬜ FX market reentry
Governor’s statement (Dec 1):
“Reducing the dinar value would harm public confidence & stability.”
✅ They are protecting the currency from devaluation
✅ They are NOT announcing appreciation yet
✅ Price stability comes first
This approach mirrors the IMF playbook: stabilize → reform → digitize → normalize banking → open FX flows → adjust currency.
💬 Clearing the “Revaluation Denial” Confusion
Officials have repeatedly denied exchange rate changes, but this is standard policy behavior:
Public denial prevents speculative attacks
Prevents currency hoarding
Controls inflation
Example: Kuwait followed the exact same practice—no pre-announcement until after implementation.
📌 Key Takeaway: Track Milestones, Not Dates
The UN ending its mandate on Dec 2nd marked one of the final political prerequisites. With this step completed, Iraq is now officially qualified to start the monetary transition phase.
Focus on milestones and phases, rather than predicting exact dates—this is the safest approach for tracking Iraq’s RV process.
