Al-Haims: E-Governance Enhances The Transparency Of Institutional Work
Al-Haims: E-Governance Enhances The Transparency Of Institutional Work
June 10, 2025 Baghdad - Saad Mohammed Al-Kaabi The Chairman of the Communications and Media Commission, Nofal Abu Raghif, discussed the activation of an agreement described as a legal and professional umbrella to preserve the confidentiality of technical and commercial data related to coordination and exchange operations between institutions.
A statement received by Al-Zaman yesterday stated that “the meeting reviewed the executive steps of the national roaming project and the activation of the NDI disclosure agreement, within the framework of the Authority’s efforts to establish the rules of fair competition and develop the communications infrastructure,
in addition to discussing the interim regulatory framework for the implementation of national roaming, in a way that ensures the expansion of the scope of geographical coverage and enable citizens to access communications service, by adopting a fair and transparent mechanism that guarantees the rights of all and prevents any exclusionary or monopolistic practices.”
Digital Inclusion
Abu Raghif pointed out that "this service is one of the most important tools for digital inclusion, which stimulates the market environment towards innovation and integration, praising the spirit of cooperation between the two sides while achieving digital and professional openness to move to an advanced stage in the telecommunications sector."
The Authority renewed "its full commitment to follow up on the implementation of national roaming mechanisms according to a clear timetable, to ensure regulatory compliance and achieve the reform goals in the telecommunications sector." Abu Raghif and the American company SpaceX Starlink, hosted by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani,
discussed facilitating the company's work in Iraq.
Yesterday's statement said, "The Iraqi side welcomed the company's work to support network, information and communications technology," noting that "Iraq includes many promising investment opportunities in light of the rapid urban and service growth and expansion it is witnessing."
Al-Sudani instructed the concerned authorities to study ways to facilitate the company's work and expedite the necessary measures, stressing the importance of cooperation with the Iraqi private sector, within the vision of digital transformation.
The company's delegation expressed its "readiness to operate in Iraq, provide services, and cooperate in the Iraqi market," stressing that "Starlink services contribute to digital transformation and its applications for public and private sector institutions, developing communications, and strengthening the economic sector within the framework of bilateral cooperation between the two countries."
Abu Raghif and Vodafone International discussed the phases of operating the national mobile phone company. The meeting emphasized the importance of the project receiving direct government support, aligning with the priorities of the national program in the areas of digital transformation, and expanding the base of strategic partnerships with international companies with solid experience.
The two sides discussed the general outlines of the proposed timeline, including the pilot phase and commercial launch, as well as discussing the mechanisms for sharing infrastructure, especially with regard to towers and data centers, as they are the basic pillars for a sustainable and secure launch,
in addition to ways to benefit from Vodafone Group’s expertise in supporting emerging markets, and comparing similar experiences in countries experiencing similar circumstances, as well as transferring experiences and institutional knowledge in a way that consolidates the professional path of operation and maintains the balance between service and investment.
Launch Guide
According to the statement, in a related development, the Chairman of the Iraqi Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Humais, indicated that the launch of a guide to environmental, social, and corporate governance standards for companies is likely to continue efforts to enhance transparency in the operations of companies across all economic sectors, including telecommunications, industry, and tourism.
Al-Haims said on the sidelines of the launch ceremony of the guide, followed by (Al-Zaman) yesterday, that “the activation of the guide for environmental and governance standards was done in cooperation with the International Finance Corporation, and with financial support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands,”
noting that “the guide has a great impact on the application of transparency in companies in the Iraqi Stock Exchange, and this is an extension of the work of the Central Bank, within the framework of its launch of the governance guide for financial institutions listed in the market,” according to his expression.
He explained that it will be more comprehensive for all sectors, whether communications, industry, tourism or hotels, and will be reflected in increasing the quality of economic activities and financial transactions, by enabling investors to obtain complete information with a great deal of transparency, to support their investment decision, according to what he mentioned.
Al-Haims added that the application will be fully launched next year. LINK

An Expert Reveals The Reasons For The Dollar's Decline In Iraq.
Time: 2025/06/10 18:06:13 Reading: 735 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert, Duraid Al Anzi, confirmed that the decline in exchange rates in the country is primarily due to the lack of foreign currency transactions in trade with neighboring countries, in addition to the collapse of these countries' currencies against the US dollar.
Al-Anzi explained to Al-Furat News Agency, "This situation negatively impacts desire and increases demand for the dollar, which prompts governments in neighboring countries to reduce imports to Iraq."
He pointed out that "the local market is witnessing an abundance of many local products, which reduces the need for black market traders to demand dollars." LINK
TIDBIT FROM MNT GOAT
Mnt Goat
So, again more...talk...about some $2 rate in the country of Iraq and rolling out the newer lower denominations.
I can guarantee you that...There is NOT $2 rate in Iraq. They are still using the official CBI rate of 1320.
This is also bullshit about lower denominations being out in Kurdistan or elsewhere...
Trust me, when the CBI does bring out the newer lower denominations, articles will proceed it in the news. ..
My CBI contact has told me months ago that the news articles are already designed and ready to go, given the proper timing. It is not yet! It will not be and cannot be some secret information only told to a few.
...I have a contact that works directly on this project to delete the zeros in the CBI and I would know if any new rate comes out.
STATUS OF THE RV . PART . 4 BY MNT GOAT
STATUS OF THE RV . PART . 4
😊Didn’t all the past and present directors of the CBI tell us so many times they needed STABILITY and SECURITY to conduct the switch out of the currency to the newer lower denominations?
In an article today titled “IRAQ TO BECOME “A MASSIVE SUCCESS STORY” they told us that “Iraq is experiencing unprecedented stability and security, creating significant opportunities for international businesses, according to Abir Burhan, Company Director of Al-Burhan Group (ABG), speaking at the Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC) Spring Conference in London.
Burhan outlined. “We’ve been through the worst of it, and we finally see that Iraq is becoming really stable and secure,” he told delegates.
Okay so now I would consider statement like this would more this currency reform ahead. So where is it? Remember that for the last six months all we have heard Iraq bragging about how rich they are. Of course this is all to attract more investors. It is exponential. They want to grow their economy.
So, then with my CBI contact, I wanted to move on to our dinars outside Iraq.
I asked how are they going to retrieve our dinars?
She replied let’s not get the horse before the cart. First things first. She said the CBI needs to get through this first initiative and this is why the CBI is moving ahead now with the mandatory all-electronic payment deposits ONLY.
She said there is almost no way this new initiative can’t work and be successful.
The CBI controls the salaries payments .
But we all know Iraq and they always find ways around it. I asked how long would this take? She told me it begins early July.
To gauge success, they must get through multiple months of payroll, then see remains in the banks and what new currency is deposited. Oh… that makes sense to me.
This may force many to even take their stashes of cash and use the cash in the marketplace, if they neglected to get a card. Either way the banks are going to get the cash, she said.
Many of the 25% of the citizens still didn’t trust the cards or they forgot to get their cards. They will remember when they have no money….lol..lol.. she laughed. They are going to force the citizens to depend upon the banks, like it or not.
Remember that they will also still have ATMs, which we were told were pivotal for the Project to Delete the Zeros and now I also can see why this is the case.
I hope all my readers also see it now too. It is all coming together and making total sense. The CBI said cash will still exist, but very limited.
Another point to make is the CBI is being VERY CLEAR on their stance that the Iraqi dinar (IQD) is not going to be a crypto currency. You can read the article for yourselves titled “CRYPTOCURRENCY ECONOMICS FOR IRAQ”. In the article it talks about cryptocurrency as a modern economic phenomenon. Cryptocurrency is unique in that it is outside the control of central banks, as it is not included in the “currency issued” by those banks, nor is it even outside the control of governments, consequently, monetary policy will face challenges in its ability to control inflation rates.
The statement by Counselor Prof. Dr. Mazhar Mohammed Saleh regarding the Central Bank of Iraq’s intention to issue a digital currency has sparked considerable public confusion. The concept has been interpreted as referring to the currency as being similar to the aforementioned cryptocurrencies. This is incorrect and not intended. Rather, it is an alternative to the established paper currency, and as such, it will be subject to the same controls as paper currency.
STATUS OF THE RV , PART 3. BY MNT GOAT
STATUS OF THE RV , PART 3.
- So, again more crazy talk by these same intel gurus about some $2 rate in the country of Iraq and rolling out the newer lower denominations. I can guarantee you that $2 rate exchanges are NOT taking place across the pond (in country of Iraq or outside it). There is $2 rate in Iraq. They are still using the official CBI rate of 1320. This is all bullshit about lower denominations being out in Kurdistan or elsewhere. I have a contact that works directly on this project to delete the zeros in the CBI and I would know if any new rate comes out.
- Next we find yet more crazy, stupid statements like and I quote “that Iraq has revalued its currency (privately) and we wait the full public release”. These are also ridiculous statements made by idiots. They cannot back up even a word of what the hell they say. There are no facts, only stupid rumors. Trust me, when the CBI does bring out the newer lower denominations, articles will proceed it in the news. It won’t be a secret. Read my lips – THERE IS NO PRIVATE REVALUATION!!!! The rate is the official CBI rate. You can’t have an RV’s rate and then expect to still sell currency at another rate from the CBI. It simple is currency manipulation. Get it? This is exactly what the entire two and a half years has been all about – multiple rates. So, just how stupid of a statement can this be? Real stupid!
My CBI contact has told me months ago that the news articles are already designed and ready to go, given the proper timing.
It is not yet! It will not be and cannot be some secret information only told to a few.
These intel gurus, like TNT Tony, Bruce, MarkZ and other have to make you believe they have “secret” sources to get your attention. Do you see the dinar scam?
I am here to tell you they are liars and bullshitters. I know firmly how the entire process is going to work and they can’t skip any steps. They will not roll out a new RV’d rate to anyone until either they do it inside Iraq which will then be followed by a reinstatement.
The RV will happen suddenly, first an “official” CBI revaluation over the 1320 .
Then another revaluation to just over a dollar.
Then a time period to collect the 3 zero notes, as the dinar will be worth more than the dollar.
I was told the rate must be just over a dollar to incentive the citizens to bring in their hordes of stashed cash.
Remember they have nearly 90% of the issued currency stashed. The banks need this for liquidity to lend out for the economic development projects.
The CBI has tried many different approaches to get these stashes of cash into the banks. Remember the articles about the “cash center”? Reluctantly, it has not worked fully to expectations by the CBI.
So, today we learn about the beginning of yet another tactic to bring in all this liquidity into the banks.
My CBI contact told me this and I quote- “if the citizens won’t bring the cash into the banks, we will do it for them”.
After reading three main articles today I know what she meant. Here are the titles of the articles. Everyone should go the Articles Section, find them and read them carefully. I will then review my last conversation on Saturday with my CBI contact. But please read them first so you understand what I am going to talk about next:
😊”CASH PAYMENT BAN IN GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS”
😊”STARTING FROM THIS DATE, THERE WILL BE NO CASH PAYMENTS IN IRAQI GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS. ”
😊”THE ERA OF THE DIGITAL REPUBLIC HAS BEGUN. IRAQ IS CASHLESS, AND THE CENTRAL BANK IMPOSES ITS AUTHORITY AS THE “RULER OF THE COUNTRY.”
To be clear these articles are telling us that all government payments will now be electronically deposited in the banks for the receiver of the funds.
No more cash windows at the banks to receive salaries in cash. No, I am NOT now talking about the currency auctions, that is something totally different. Let’s concentrate.
I can imagine also they will strictly limit the ATM machines too on withdrawal amounts of cash per month to eliminate future hoading. Remember we are now exclusively talking dinars not dollars, but there are hoards of dollars too that need to surface and will.
This might excite the parallel market again but I was told this will be temporary until they are mostly flushed out.
Iraq has been de-dollarized it would be hard to even use the dollars in most places. I firmly believe they have also broken the parallel market and essentially it no longer exists. These are two huge steps towards the Project to Delete the Zeros.
Remember also they gave almost a decade for the citizens to open bank accounts and get their debit card issued. They just announced that nearly 75% of the country’s citizens now have the debit cards and accounts.
So, now they chose a target date to go ahead with the next step, the all digital, something they told us months ago was coming. They are ready to do it now.
Now let’s discuss more of what Iraq is telling us and the impact. They are telling us they must get these hoards of cash inside the banks.
Remember there was just a recent article telling us that nearly 90% of the cash dinars are still outside the banking system. I imagine they have a pretty good idea how many dinars in-country vs out-of-country that they need to retrieve.
So, this step is FIRST to concentrate on the in-country dinars. Next they are going to come after the out-of-country dinars. This is their plan, so I am told.
I asked my CBI contact- does this also include our dinars, held outside Iraq with investors?
I would think it does, but I wanted to check.
I was told YES, but in a much different sense than in-country.
To explain my contact then said that if they don’t’ retrieve these dinars in-country first, before the revaluation, they will have a crash of the currency, since there will be too much in the money supply and hyper-inflation will occur.
It would be really bad! So, remember the plan, she told me.
They would first retrieve these hoards then, by revaluing the dinar in-country, then bring out the lower denominations.
Since the US Treasury has not yet signed off to conduct the project the delete the zeros, they are moving ahead with what they can do to retrieve these dinars now.
They are hoping that if successful the US Treasury will then sign off and more this part of the currency reform forward. Remember this is always an uphill battle for Iraq to get where they want to go.
Once the banks have collected most of these dinars, the CBI would then revalue the dinar in-country and then MONITOR FOR INFLATION.
They would need permission first from the US Treasury and this has been the part of the issues related to Iran all along (a subject for another day).
Oh…now I know why they keep telling me about this step of monitoring for inflation. I get it now…. Just kidding I got if before but I wanted to explain it so all of my readers get it. Got it?
STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 2 BY MNT GOAT
STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 2
What new rate?
The CBI official rate has not changed.
The rate on ISX fluctuates a bit but that is the only rate change I see. Oh could it the new price of oil that has changed, get it. Oh … yes that’s it!
😊 This is not a new dinar rate. It is just the price of oil they will use to determine if they can complete a project or not. It’s called revenue streams! Some projects may have to be cut or scaled down to match the revenues.
Today they even tell us in article titled “140 TRILLION DINARS ENTER THE IRAQI TREASURY IN ONE YEAR, 91% OF WHICH COMES FROM OIL.“
that oil is still 91% of the revenue streams for Iraq. So, if oil drops, so must their budget. The finance committee just told us that they are now finishing up and getting ready to roll out the budget tables.
Here is the article titled “TO SPUR INVESTMENT, PARLIAMENTARY DEMANDS TO EXPEDITE THE RELEASE OF THE 2025 BUDGET SCHEDULES.” Please go read it. I wish they did. These contracts are changing because the price of oil changed and the 2025 tables were revised.
Oh …. You might say they are just “misinterpreting the news from Iraq”.
Yes, they are and that is the problem, get it? No more excuses! Whoever is feeding this bad information to these idiot intel gurus has a warped sense of humor.
Here is reality: The old tables for 2023 and 2024 were based on $70 a barrel and now they had to reduce the 2025 budget down to $60 as barrel.
This is why it's taking so long to roll out these tables. Of course, contracts are going to change. Yes, they are waiting for the new budget tables to roll out. It’s like trying to stop a moving train.
The economy keeps moving ahead, yet oil prices drop. How does Iraq accommodate this change without racking up a huge deficit. This what they are trying to do. Get it?
The decrease in oil prices simply means there would be less money for projects, All their contracts and projects are based on it. Get it? So going forward there is a change but the change is less not even more. Again the new rate will never be in the budget. Get it? They are talking about allocations of money from the budget not the rate of the dinar.
However, for some reason these thick-headed idiots want to make everything about an RV.
They are constantly over speculating.
They make a mountain of intel over a mole hill of information. This stupidity must stop. Oh ….
But they have such good sources? Really? Their little group of followers are constantly kept on the edge hoping for the new rate and to go to the bank. They are too dumb to realize they are being scammed. Every week, every weekend the same old bullshit.
They are even paying this guy $100 now to hold a place on his site so when the RV does happen, they can pay $1,000 to be onboard and get financial advice on how to invest their money. They will also be told of new opportunities with a new set of currencies to watch. Is this TNT Tony a licensed financial advisor?
STATUS OF THE RV, PART. 1 BY MNT GOAT
STATUS OF THE RV, PART. 1
Before I get to the juicy news for today, I first find it important to explain just how ridiculous and stupid much of these statements that are now being made by many of these intel gurus like TNT Tony, Bruce, MarkZ, Melonie Hines and many others.
Remember that this is why I started my Newsletter in the first place, to clarify this crap. Somebody has to bring some common sense and TRUTH to this investment intel.
No, no lower denominations are out anywhere in Iraq, I can guarantee it! No, the RV has not yet happened. No, it is not yet trading on “backroom” Forex.
WARNING
I am going to be harsh today and may make statements that may offend some readers. But somebody has to bring CLARITY and TRUTH to this IQD RV saga. I always say, if the shoe fits, wear it. I know there are many TNT and Bruce followers reading my blog. All I can ask is to stop all association with these scammers.
So, I believe that many of these intel gurus have their heads screwed on backwards. Where in hell did most of these idiots come from? No, it’s not about speculation but rather giving their listeners the truth as it is reported from Iraq. You do want to get the TRUTH?
Oh..you don’t care about the TRUTH? You just want to make a buck off this RV saga anyway you can?
Anyone can speculate. A first grader in elementary school can do a better job that most of these idiot gurus. We don’t need these intel gurus to do it.
What good are they…really! Over speculating is lying. We should all have had just about enough of this crap already. It is not necessary to guess. If you know the CBI plan to RV and follow the news from Iraq you should know that the RV could not and would not RV every weekend. “You’ll be at the banks on Monday”, really? Who’s telling them this fake intel? The writing is on the wall and all we need to do is sit back and wait. There’s no rushing it. Can anyone of these stupid intel gurus even point out a couple main issues facing Iraq today? I bet they can’t.
I want to show everyone today just how wrong and stupid some of these statements are now being made but these intel gurus:
- Here is one by TNT and I quote “Tony and Ray confirmed, the rate is live in Iraq. All their contracts and projects are based on it so will not be a long at all.” How many times over the last 20 years have we heard this crap, yet we still sit here with no RV. So, what is wrong with this statement?
- Another one is statements made by this NINJA Warriors site on You Tube. Oh boy this is one really bad! Here is their nonsense and I quote “Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani has made a groundbreaking live announcement, confirming major developments regarding the long-awaited Iraqi Dinar Revaluation (RV).
- This marks a historic turning point for the global currency landscape and could impact millions of investors worldwide” Sudani made no such announcement.If he did then way don’t they show the proof. Why is because they can’t.
- There is no proof, get it? It did not happen. Get it? Folks all I can add to these kinds of statements are all lies. I am not trying to discourage anyone from this investment but these kinds of premature statements are just lies. I can not describe them any clearer.
HIDDEN FINGERS ARE TAMPERING WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL… EFFORTS TO ABORT AL-SUDANI’S SECOND TERM BEFORE IT MATURES
HIDDEN FINGERS ARE TAMPERING WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL… EFFORTS TO ABORT AL-SUDANI’S SECOND TERM BEFORE IT MATURES –
Political researcher Nabil Al-Azzawi revealed on Wednesday (June 4, 2025) that there are political parties working behind the scenes to stir up tensions and disputes between Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and the Kurdish forces in Kurdistan, in an attempt to block the renewal of his term for a second term.
Al-Azzawi told Baghdad Today, “There are political parties that do not want the elections scheduled for November 11 to take place, and they are seeking by all means to place artificial obstacles in the way of the government.” He pointed out that “these parties are working to undermine the growing trust between al-Sudani and the Kurdish forces, as they believe that an understanding between the two parties strengthens al-Sudani’s chances of remaining in office for a second term.”
He added, “Since assuming office, the Prime Minister has placed the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil at the top of his priorities. His first move was toward the Kurdistan Region, where he launched the ‘Sustainable Solutions’ initiative as an alternative to the policy of recurring crises. This has worried some forces that do not see a solution to these issues in their best interest.”
Al-Azzawi explained that “Al-Sudani is making clear strides toward removing the outstanding issues,” noting that “an expanded technical meeting is expected to be held in Baghdad, with the attendance of an official delegation from the region, to discuss a number of outstanding issues, including the push for the enactment of an oil and gas law, which would end many crises and open the door to radical solutions regarding the disputed areas and Article 140 of the constitution.”
The political researcher emphasized that “leaving these issues unresolved threatens the political stability Iraq currently enjoys, especially in light of the complex regional circumstances,” asserting that “inciting conflicts at this time only serves narrow agendas, while citizens today need services and development, not escalation and conflict.”
Al-Azzawi pointed out that “there are multiple internal parties, some of them from within the Coordination Framework, seeking to obstruct al-Sudani’s rapprochement with the Kurds, due to their awareness that the support of Kurdish and Sunni forces puts him in a strong position to secure a second term, something these parties do not desire, as they are working to shuffle the political cards to preserve their own interests.”
Observers believe that since assuming the premiership in October 2022, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has sought to adopt a comprehensive de-escalation policy and prioritize dialogue to resolve outstanding issues, particularly between the federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government.
His first official visit was to Erbil, a clear indication of his desire to open a new page with the region.
During his tenure, Al-Sudani focused on thorny issues such as the oil and gas law, disputed territories, and the implementation of Article 140 of the constitution. These issues have been a source of tension between the two sides for years.
As the local elections approach and talk escalates about the possibility of renewing al-Sudani’s term for a second term, a counter-political movement has begun to emerge, seeking to undermine this process by re-escalating tensions with the region and raising contentious issues as part of the power struggle between political forces within and outside the Coordination Framework.

Securities: We are working to enhance the attractiveness of the Iraqi market through governance and expanding the corporate base
The Securities Commission announced on Monday that it is working to enhance the attractiveness of the Iraqi market through governance and expanding the corporate base. It also indicated a move to list new companies to encourage profitable investments.
"The commission has begun taking practical steps to develop the Iraqi Stock Exchange from within by enhancing investment attraction factors," board member Wadah Al-Taha told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), noting that "issuing the corporate governance guide for companies represents a fundamental step in this path."
He added, "In the next phase, the Authority seeks to list new companies through initial public offerings, which will help encourage local investors to invest in profitable companies that distribute periodic dividends, which will boost investor confidence and drive market revitalization."
He added, "Achieving these steps will send a strong message to foreign investors that the market is undergoing change and is transitioning towards a more transparent, sustainable, and effective risk-management environment." He noted that "current data indicates a significant improvement in indicators, which will enhance investment attractiveness and increase opportunities for attracting foreign investment. "
Al-Taha emphasized that "the Iraqi market has become part of an international platform that includes nine other global markets. This means that the market is now under the scrutiny and monitoring of global markets, which requires preparation to face challenges and accelerate development steps." He pointed out that "the Commission's work is not limited to one file, but rather is carried out in parallel across several files, including developing a governance guide, intensifying training programs, and increasing the number of good, profitable, high-quality companies listed on the market, in order to achieve diversity that reduces risks and increases potential returns."
He continued, "The number of listed companies currently stands at 103, but the focus is on only 20 to 25 companies," explaining that "the Authority is working to diversify the market to provide investors with broader and more stable options." link
Baghdad to KRG: No Delegation Welcome Without Revenue Transfer
Baghdad has sent a clear message to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), stating that no delegation from the region will be welcomed in the capital until the handover of oil and non-oil revenues is completed.
According to reports by Iraqi media on Sunday, the federal government will not engage in any negotiations regarding the payment of May salaries to employees, pensioners, and those on social welfare in the Kurdistan Region. This marks a continuation of a hardline stance by the federal authorities in Baghdad over revenue disputes.
The decision comes in response to the KRG’s alleged failure to comply with a ruling by the Federal Court. The court had previously mandated that all oil and non-oil revenues generated in the Kurdistan Region must be handed over to the federal treasury, a requirement the KRG has so far not fulfilled.
Officials in Baghdad say the current position will not change unless the Kurdistan Region meets its financial obligations. The dispute continues to impact public sector salary disbursements in the region, exacerbating existing economic tensions. link
TIDBIT FROM KAPERONI

Article: "The era of the digital republic has begun. Iraq is cashless, and the Central Bank imposes its authority as the 'ruler of the country.' "
Article: "Al-Atwani: Iraq's integration into the international financial system is no longer an option, but rather a necessity to enhance confidence in the national economy."

Article: "Ali Al-Alaq: We are working on creating a digital currency for the Central Bank to gradually replace paper currency" Question: "Assuming this happens, will we need to turn in our currency and allow it to be converted to digital?
If so, where will it be held ?"
No, the physical paper will always remain outside the country. That was part of their agreement to sell it to build their own reserves.
We talked about this several years ago. Saleh stated the physical dinar currency would go into central banks around the world.
The digital transformation in Iraq is only for them. The reduction of physical dinar could take several years in Iraq.
Keep in mind that notes that we hold such as 25,000 notes will always be their printed value. The exchange rate to US dollars should gradually increase based on Iraq's economic growth (economic renaissance) and success over time and the development of their banking system.
