Baghdad - Nassar Al-Hajj
The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Thursday that Iraq's crude oil exports are exempt from US customs duties. He also noted that the US president's message regarding the imposition
of a 30 percent customs duty on Iraq is optimistic and serves to develop and encourage trade and investment opportunities between the two friendly countries.
Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The US president's message regarding the imposition of a 30 percent customs duty on Iraq is optimistic and serves to develop and encourage opportunities for trade and investment relations between the two friendly countries."
He added, "Apart from Iraq's crude oil exports, which do not exceed 200,000 barrels per day and are worth approximately $4.5 billion annually (and are already exempt from President Trump's tariff list), there are no other actual Iraqi exports to the United States that merit the 30 percent tariff imposed on them, as the US president indicated in his letter to the Iraqi government."
He continued: "On the contrary, there are Iraqi civilian imports, some of which are strategic and important, from the United States to Iraq, but these imports do not exceed $1.5 billion annually. These imports include spare parts, precision instruments, engineering and electrical equipment, civil aircraft, digital equipment, high-level logistics services, some exported agricultural goods, and currently cars to Iraq. These imports are popular and accepted in the Iraqi market due to their durability and technological advancement."
Saleh pointed out that "the White House's message to the Iraqi government is a signal to open broader horizons for trade, economic, and investment cooperation through the window of encouraging the import of American goods. This requires a sustainable and stable process in developing quality imports from a friendly country that aligns with our country's interests in sustainable development, particularly in the fields of renewable energy, information technology, and high-
quality consumer goods."
He pointed out that "this contributes to making the trade balance between the two countries balanced, in line with the diversification of the national economy's activities with proportionate payments, without neglecting the fact that Iraq invests nearly half of its investment portfolio of foreign reserves in US government bonds, and represents one of the strongest indicators of the strength of the effectiveness and indicators of the financial account of the balance of payments, its stability and its encouraging positive growth between the two countries, and the role of the United States in managing financial cooperation for these important resources that contribute to the future stability of the interests of the two friendly parties."

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
FIREFLY:The televisions are now talking about Iraq has more than a thousand tons of gold...
FRANK: I have said this before! Remember when every time they would tell us they had 50 tons of gold, 100 tons tons...170 tons of gold and what was it I keep telling you guys
Hey, they're not telling you the truth and they will never tell you the true amount of gold they have to back up your currency. It's almost immeasurable.Today they tell you they have over 1,000 tons of gold to back up their new currency. Guess what? Even that's not true...1,000 is still nowhere near what you guys have.

FRANK26: "1310 IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE BANKING REFORM!!!"......F26
Al-Nusairi: The Central Bank is leading the banking sector toward comprehensive reform, economic stimulation, and sustainable development.
7/10/2025
Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi affirmed that the Central Bank continues to lead the Iraqi banking sector in accordance with its third strategy and its comprehensive banking reform project for the next two years, based on a continuous daily work system in cooperation with international consulting and auditing companies currently operating with the aim of achieving banking reform and moving banks to a stage of contributing to stimulating the economy, revitalizing the economic cycle, achieving economic growth, and transforming banks into a lever for sustainable development.
Al-Nusairi explained in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that in order to motivate banks and develop banking operations so they can fulfill their duties stipulated in the Banking Law and the applicable instructions and executive regulations issued by the Central Bank, and serve the national economy and customers, it is necessary to carefully implement the reform measures outlined for them, as well as to re-review, evaluate, and classify banks.
Al-Nusairi pointed out that there are international standard criteria for classifying central banks that are agreed upon in most countries, such as controlling inflation, economic growth, monetary stability, independence, and the extent to which economic goals are achieved. Since central banks are subject to classification and since they are the ones that monitor and supervise banks, the classification of Iraqi banks must be based on international standard criteria approved in most countries, the basis of which is compliance with international banking standards, enhancing financial inclusion, encouraging competition, preventing monopoly in the banking market, providing opportunities for shareholders and investors to obtain profitable and sustainable returns, accelerating digital transformation, and a rapid transition to a solid national economy.
He explained that the reform, evaluation, and classification of the banking sector should be based on criteria of capital, assets, liquidity, profitability, and risk management. Additional programs should be adopted that are consistent with the Iraqi reality, such as approving the banks' operating results and final accounts for the last five years, focusing on analyzing assets, revenues, expenses, capital adequacy, indicators of capital investment, cash credit granted and its sectoral distribution, the return on capital ratio, return on assets, liquidity ratio, and the extent of banks' compliance with applicable banking instructions, particularly activating the national strategy for bank lending to finance small and medium-sized enterprises and applying environmental, social, and corporate governance standards.

[Iraqi bank friend Aki update]
Iraq has been working on the ISO for about two/three weeks now. They're telling us it is about to be implemented...on the 14th...Aki was told to go back [to his bank in Dearborn Michigan]. He was waiting for the new exchange rate.
They told him don't move...We believe Aki is now working on the ISO that is about to be released. Aki is the man in Michigan. It's his bank. He will test this ISO platform...
ISO deals with many things like federal wires to speed up the transactions of International exchanges, any type of wiring. This is now moving much faster in a safer protected way. It is scheduled to be implemented on July 14.

The letter emphasized that these tariffs are necessary to "correct years of Iraqi tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers," considering the trade deficit to be "a major threat to our economy and, indeed, to our national security."
The letter hinted at the possibility of adjusting these tariffs, upwards or downwards, based on the relationship between the two countries, and if Iraq decides to "open its previously closed trade markets to the United States, and eliminate its tariffs and non-tariff policies and trade barriers."
