🏦 CBI Confirms Completion of Monetary Reform (2023–2025)
The article titled “Monetary Policy Indicators confirm Central Bank first in 2025” carries significant weight.
According to MarkZ:
The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) confirms it has full access to:
Banking reform
Monetary reform
These reforms cover:
2023
2024
2025
The reform program is solely designed to lift the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar
“They are telling us that they have completed this massive reform…”
Even more importantly, the CBI states that remaining banking reforms will be finished during the rest of this month.
📈 Purchasing Power: Signals from Sudani
A question was raised regarding Prime Minister Sudani mentioning purchasing power within the 4th quarter.
MarkZ responded:
He had not seen that specific quote
However, Sudani has made similar statements before
Those statements pointed to Q4 improvements
If delayed, Q1 of next year would still be acceptable, as momentum remains strong
“They are pushing hard… There is a lot going on in Iraq.”
This reinforces the idea that timing may shift, but direction has not changed.
🌏 Will the Vietnamese Dong Move with the Dinar?
A recurring question remains:
Will the dong still go at the same time as the dinar?
MarkZ answered clearly:
“Most people believe it will. I still believe that.”
While unconfirmed officially, this belief remains widespread within currency reform discussions.
🚛 The New “Mechanism” Implemented on December 1
One of the most important updates involves the new mechanism introduced on December 1st.
🔍 What Is This New Mechanism?
According to MarkZ:
A new customs collection system
Routed directly through Iraqi banks
Designed to:
Control how money moves across borders
Improve transparency
Reduce leakage and corruption
Originally planned for full implementation by Dec 31 / Jan 1, Iraq has begun rolling out components throughout the month.
This aligns with the article:
“Advance customs declaration comes into effect”
🧠 Why This System Matters for Currency Reform
MarkZ shared a critical observation:
“IMO they have to have the new system done with a new value to be fully implemented.”
Why?
Customs values depend on accurate exchange rates
Cross-border settlements require credible currency valuation
Banking integration demands international compliance
In short, the system cannot function properly under an outdated value.
👀 “Watch Things… It’s Happening Before Our Eyes”
MarkZ emphasized that these changes are not theoretical:
Systems are live
Infrastructure is operational
Policies are executing in real time
This is the difference between planning and implementation.
❓ Q&A – Featured Snippets
Has Iraq completed its monetary reform?
According to CBI indicators, reforms covering 2023–2025 are complete, with final banking steps finishing this month.
What is the new customs mechanism?
A banking-based customs collection and advance declaration system controlling cross-border money flow.
Why is this important for the dinar?
Customs, banking, and FX systems require an accurate and credible exchange rate to function correctly.
Is purchasing power expected soon?
Iraqi leadership has pointed to Q4 or early Q1 improvements.
📌 Featured Insight
Iraq confirms completion of monetary and banking reforms through 2025 while rolling out a new customs and cross-border payment system, signaling readiness for increased dinar purchasing power.
🧭 Final Thoughts
The conversation has shifted from “Are reforms coming?” to “They are executing them now.”
When banking systems, customs mechanisms, and monetary policy align, change becomes unavoidable.
As MarkZ said:
Watch things. It’s happening before our eyes.

MarkZ
[via PDK] Article: “Monetary Policy Indicators confirm Central Bank first in 2025” This means they have all the access to banking and monetary reform for the years of 2023 to 2025. They are telling us that they have completed…in 23 and 24 and 2025…that they have completed this massive reform that is soley designed to lift the purchasing power of the dinar. They are telling us they will finish the banking reforms during the rest of this month.
[via PDK] Question: So will the dong still go at the same time as the dinar?
MarkZ: Most people believe it will. I still believe that.
Question: Whats your take on Sudani saying to the people of Iraq “Purchasing power within 4th quarter?”
MarkZ: I had not seen that comment…but he has made similar comments before, that this would happen in the 4th quarter of this year. I won’t be upset if it goes in the 1st quarter of next year because they are pushing hard…. There is a lot going on in Iraq.
Question: Anyone know what that new "mechanism" was that was implemented on dec 1?
MarkZ: It was a new customs collection system to run through Iraqi banks…they were postponing it until Dec 31/Jan 1 to complete the implementation…this was to change how money moves across borders. BUT... “Advance customs declaration comes into effect” They will be implementing pieces of it throughout the month. They want it to be fully up and running by Dec 31. IMO they have to have the new system done with a new value to be fully implemented. Watch things…its happening before our eyes.
