Key Insights

• 📊 Investment Confidence: Militia Man’s assertion of unprecedented evidence of economic improvement indicates a growing confidence among investors and stakeholders. This sentiment can lead to increased investment flows into Iraq, fostering economic growth. However, the reliance on external validation from central bank economists suggests that consistent communication and transparency will be vital to maintaining this confidence.

• ⚖️ Budget Approval Dynamics: Jeff’s analogy about the single tire highlights the interdependence of currency reform and budget approvals. The necessity for a currency rate change before budget discussions can proceed indicates systemic issues within Iraq’s economic framework. This also emphasizes the importance of legislative efficiency and the need for synchronized efforts between the government and central bank to facilitate economic recovery.

• 🚀 Emerging Market Trends: Mark Z’s observations regarding the pairing of IQD with cryptocurrencies reflect a significant shift in market dynamics. As cryptocurrencies gain traction globally, the inclusion of Iraqi currency in digital platforms may enhance its visibility and acceptance. This trend could attract tech-savvy investors and promote a more diversified economic landscape.

• 🏗️ Infrastructure Development as a Catalyst: Sandy Ingram’s enumeration of six major projects underscores the strategic approach Iraq is taking to stimulate its economy. These projects not only aim to improve infrastructure but also to create jobs and enhance the standard of living for Iraqi citizens. In particular, the railway and highway network could facilitate trade and commerce, potentially positioning Iraq as a logistics hub in the Middle East.

• 🤝 Strengthened International Relations: The meeting between Iraq’s Prime Minister and the British King highlights the importance of bilateral cooperation. Such partnerships can lead to increased foreign investment, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing, which are crucial for Iraq’s long-term growth. Leveraging international relationships will be essential for Iraq as it navigates its path toward economic stability.

• 🌐 Push for Digital Currency: Walking Stick’s comment on the digitization of the currency signifies a forward-thinking approach to monetary reform. Transitioning to digital currency can enhance transaction efficiency, reduce corruption, and improve financial inclusion. As Iraq moves past traditional cash systems, it can adopt best practices from other nations that have successfully implemented digital currencies.

• 📈 Global Economic Influence: Iraq’s election as chair of the G77 reflects its growing diplomatic stature and potential to influence international economic discussions. This role could enable Iraq to advocate for the interests of developing nations and leverage collective bargaining power in global forums. The recognition from the international community may also bolster Iraq’s efforts in achieving economic reform and attracting foreign aid.

Mawazine News – Economy

The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Wednesday that Iraq’s economic path is progressing properly towards development for the coming years, noting that economic growth in 2024 is a motivation for the expansion of economic activities in the country.


Saleh said in a statement to the official agency that “there is a principle in the economy called the economic accelerator, which means that the growth in non-oil GDP, which reached 6% in 2024, will reflect positively on the strength of national investment in 2025.”


He added that “the Iraqi economy will witness a high investment renaissance in 2025 thanks to the economic accelerator in the investment field, in addition to the high positive growth effects of national income in 2024.”


Saleh pointed out that “business companies and investors are affected by the results of the basic idea behind the economic accelerator, which indicates that any increase in demand for goods and services as a result of national income growth in 2024 can lead to increased investment in capital such as machinery, equipment and labor in 2025.”


He added that “companies and business activities need to expand their productive capacity to meet the growing demand for goods and services, which will lead to a positive accumulation in the productive capacities of the national economy in 2025,” he stressed that this can be positively expected, especially if it is accompanied by a good agricultural season and a wet year in the coming months.


In conclusion, the Prime Minister’s Advisor pointed out that “Iraq’s economic path is moving in the right development direction for the coming years, thanks to the continuous cooperation between the private and public sectors.”

TIDBIT FROM WALKINGSTICK, 16 JAN

 Walkingstick 

  The monetary reform education is extremely fast. 

 They are now all the way to the point where they are past the basket and talking to the Iraqi citizens about the future of digitization in their country...

Digitization of their currency mainly will help at the onset because you cannot introduce too much currency at the start...

Not a cashless society at the onset but given time Iraq will be.  That is the goal.

Mixed opinions and a warning against "rumors".. Is Iraq suffering a financial crisis?, 15 jan

 Information/Report..

Iraq is facing financial and economic challenges caused by the decline in oil prices in recent months, while the Ministry of Finance confirms that it has no shortage of liquidity and that it is securing salaries for the current year despite the delay in their payment in the last month of 2024.

Parliament recently hosted Finance Minister Taif Sami to discuss a number of economic issues. After the meeting, Finance Committee Chairman Atwan Al-Atwani said that there were no concerns regarding salaries even if oil prices fell to $50 per barrel.

Former and current MPs believe that the financial crisis exists and has prompted the state to take measures to ease financial obligations towards employees by halting transfers and assignments between ministries, as they require adding new financial allocations.

In this regard, former MP Mohammed Al-Shabaki confirms that Iraq is suffering from a financial crisis, the repercussions of which have been reflected in a series of government decisions.

Al-Shabaki said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, "Iraq's financial situation does not bode well, because all revenues come from the sale of oil and one commodity, and this country will certainly suffer an economic crisis if oil and energy prices fall," indicating that "the financial budget for the year 2025 will be financed by a full deficit according to revenues amounting to 137 trillion dinars and spending of about 159 trillion."

He added, "Diversifying imports is necessary to overcome the current crisis, and there must also be a political decision to streamline some spending units and eliminate financial waste and the like," indicating that "the crisis appeared clearly when the Ministry of Finance announced that there would be no appointments this year and the cancellation of sending a proposal to amend the employee salary scale law to Parliament due to the financial obligations resulting from it, in addition to stopping the transfer and appointment processes because they require adding financial allocations to some ministries."

For its part, the State of Law Coalition warned, on Wednesday, of attempts to create a financial crisis in Iraq through rumors about the salaries of employees and retirees, stressing that the current situation is good and salaries are secured for the current year.

Coalition member Imran Karkoush explained in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, "The issue of the financial crisis is not at the level that is being talked about. Compensation, allowances, and delayed entitlements have been paid to employees of some ministries and retirees, and the state is in a good position." He indicated that "what is being rumored are attempts to create a new crisis in Iraq, and at this moment there is no such problem, and the situation requires more reassurances from the state and government to the Iraqi public opinion and not to allow a crisis to occur there."

He believes that "the situation in the region is moving towards a kind of stability, especially with the approaching cessation of the Zionist aggression on Gaza and reaching an agreement to end the war. Iraq also has good understandings with countries, in addition to the stability of oil prices," stressing that "there are no major concerns and the Ministry of Finance confirms that salaries are secured for the current year 2025."

Parliament is scheduled to vote on the 2025 general budget next Sunday after extensive discussions and debate during the past period, while representatives and experts confirm that the budget deficit will be greater than its predecessors and warned of a widening gap between imports and government spending.
