 The European Union: We support Iraq's efforts to diversify its economy.

The European Union affirmed its support for Iraq's efforts to diversify its economy and enhance the role of the private sector in development.

The European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Clemens Simetner, said that the EU program includes cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq and relevant government agencies in the fight against money laundering, indicating that work is underway to design a joint project with the Central Bank and prepare for its implementation phases, with other parties involved in this endeavor.

 🌟 The Ultimate DinarRevaluation Brief: 5 High-Impact Posts You Must Read! 🌍💸

If you want to understand where the IQD conversation is truly heading, these five standout posts from the DinarRevaluation blog paint a powerful picture of economic pressure, insider intel, Forex rumors, political timing, and Iraq’s accelerating financial reform. Together, they create a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged and eager for updates.

One of the most influential pieces is “Currency Insider: The Unsustainable Exchange Rate of the Iraqi Dinar” 💱⚠️, which argues that Iraq’s current 1,310 IQD per USD rate may no longer be viable, considering budget pressures, digital-banking expansion, and geopolitical tension. 👉 Read here: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2025/03/currency-insiderthe-unsustainable.html

Adding fuel to speculation, the post  “FX-VU Strategic Release Memo – $4.8101 IQD Anchor” 🔒📈 suggests there may already be institutional infrastructure prepared for a rate near $4.81, implying a suppressed—not absent—value waiting for political timing. 👉 Read here: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2025/05/fx-vu-strategic-release-memo-48101-iqd_01004759776.html

Momentum continues with “IQD Countdown: Is Iraq on the Verge of Revaluation?” ⏳🇮🇶

, which frames current developments as a possible “countdown” toward a revaluation, citing the pending Oil & Gas Law, massive reserves, and even blockchain adoption as key indicators of major change. 👉 Read here: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2025/06/iqd-countdown-is-iraq-on-verge-of.html

Another eye-catching post, “An Analyst Claims the Iraqi Dinar Is Trading on FOREX Above $1.00” 💹👀, pushes speculation even further, asserting that the IQD may already be trading off-market above $1 and could soar to $4.81under a managed float. This post is perfect for driving debate and curiosity. 👉 Read here: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2025/06/an-analyst-claims-that-iraqi-dinar-iqd.html

Rounding out the narrative is “AJ: Iraq’s Banking Reforms Update” 🏦🚀, showcasing real structural progress—massive digital-payment growth, international consulting firms reorganizing Iraq’s banks, and a nationwide push toward electronic financial systems. This is the kind of institutional development that gives all the speculation a foundation. 👉 Read here: https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2025/06/aj-aj-iraqs-banking-reforms-update.html

💵 Dollar Jumps in Baghdad Amid Lockdown & Ministry Clarifies Funds Controversy 🔍🇮🇶

 💵 Dollar Jumps in Baghdad Amid Lockdown & Ministry Clarifies Funds Controversy 🔍🇮🇶

🔹 Key Highlights

📈 Dollar Exchange Rate Rises in Baghdad
As Sunday evening markets closed, the USD climbed sharply against the Iraqi dinar:

  • 141,900 IQD per $100 on Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya exchanges, up from 141,200 IQD earlier in the day.

  • Exchange shops sold at 143,000 IQD and bought at 141,000 IQD per $100.
    Market watchers link the spike to lockdown-related economic pressure and reduced liquidity.

🏦 Social Welfare Fund Controversy Sparks Clarification
Statements by Labor Minister Ahmed Al-Asadi about withdrawing 

2.5 trillion dinars caused confusion — but the Ministry quickly clarified:

  • His comments referred to future financing plans using investment returns and temporary bank liquidity, notmissing funds.

  • The Ministry stressed that all beneficiary rights are fully protected, documented, and backed by official correspondence from Al-Rafidain Bank.

📑 Finance Ministry: No Withdrawals — Only a Temporary Freeze
The Ministry of Finance confirmed:

  • No funds were withdrawn.

  • The account was temporarily frozen, consistent with Social Protection Law No. 11 (2014).

  • Some recovered smart-card amounts are still unchanged in the account.

  • The Ministry of Labor had not properly reconciled balances with the bank.

🔍 Audit Findings & Oversight
The Federal Financial Control Bureau reported:

  • Accounts were fully audited.

  • Some uses occurred outside the account’s intended purpose, but not by the Ministry of Labor.

  • All transferred and recovered amounts remain in place, with a request for deeper revenue analysis.

  • All rights are preserved according to official records.

🏛️ Rafidain Bank’s Official Numbers

  • Social Protection Network Account: 2.495 trillion IQD

  • Social Protection Authority Fund: 390 billion IQD
    The bank confirmed all balances are fully available, with no shortages, withdrawals, or investment requests.

🗣️ Public Reaction
Tweets and local analysts say the minister’s remarks triggered media confusion, noting:

  • It was likely a misunderstanding of “temporary liquidity”, not lost funds.

  • Others believe it highlights the need for stronger financial and investment reforms within the Social Welfare Fund.
    Oversight agencies reaffirm ongoing transparency and protections for citizens’ money.

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

FIREFLY:Sudani made an announcement saying Iraq is introducing a  new mechanism for their currency starting on December 1, 2025. 

 This involves some strategic shifts in the Iraqi dinar and he mentioned the Vietnamese dong is doing something similar...It's all about currency revaluation aligning with global economic players like the BRICS nations and boosting gold reserves and reducing reliance on the US dollar.  Your president Trump is affecting every country, every currency.  

FRANK:  Well gooood morning Iraq!  Good for you, Sudani.  You grew a set, didn't you...   OMAR:  Sudani stopped short of declaring a formal revaluation date but he emphasized  the groundwork is fully in place for a "historic making financial transformation."

FIREFLY:We have a speaker on television and he's saying the CBI is independent from the government and the CBI doesn't have to wait for any new government or any laws.  CBI is not political so CBI can change the rate any time they desire. 

FRANK:  Why would you have to say that?  Well, they want the citizens to know 

who's going to pull the trigger, not to pay attention to the rumors...Everyone knows that but I guess it's a good time to bring that out because Sudani...is trying to put out all those lies and rumors.  He's using the media to help him.
