MNT GOAT: Iraq Updates: Hoshyar Zebari on Elections, Oil & Gas Law, and Dinar RV Progress

Iraq’s Former Deputy Prime Minister Speaks on Elections

Hoshyar Zebari, Iraq’s former Deputy Prime Minister, shared insights on the nation’s post-election future. Investors are closely monitoring these developments, as the outcomes may affect the Dinar RV and Iraq’s financial reforms.

Featured Snippet:

“Hoshyar Zebari highlights the importance of stable governance and reforms to ensure Iraq’s reintegration into global markets.”

Progress on the Oil and Gas Law (HCL)

For the first time in 20 years, the Oil and Gas Law is advancing:

  • Cabinet approval and parliamentary passage are underway.

  • Kurdish representatives are largely onboard, supporting smooth implementation.

  • Expected to be one of the first bills taken up by the new parliament in 2026.

Featured Snippet:

“The Oil and Gas Law is moving forward, with strong assurances it will pass parliament and support Iraq’s economic development.”

Parallel vs Official CBI Dollar Rate

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has addressed concerns over the parallel market:

Featured Snippet:

“CBI reforms ensure the parallel market poses no threat, paving the way for a stable Dinar reinstatement.”

Collection of Currency Outside the Banking System

A major challenge has been the 90 trillion IQD held by the public outside banks:

  • The CBI is implementing electronic payment systems and point-of-sale measures to reduce hoarding.

  • Both old and new denominations will circulate for at least a year after zero removal.

  • This ensures liquidity and a smoother transition during the Dinar RV.

Featured Snippet:

“Electronic banking initiatives are reducing cash hoarding, with CBI ensuring proper circulation of new and old banknotes.”

Election and Political Dynamics

  • Iranian influence remains a concern, with some militias and elected officials connected to Iran.

  • U.S. Special Envoy Mark Savaya and coordination with the US Ambassador are critical to ensure reforms proceed smoothly.

  • al-Sudani is likely to continue as Prime Minister for a second term, though objections may arise from opposition factions.

  • Political stability must align with financial reforms to allow successful Dinar reinstatement (RV).

Featured Snippet:

“Political stability and continued reforms are essential for the timely reinstatement of the Iraqi Dinar and reintegration into Forex markets.”

Key Takeaways

  • Hoshyar Zebari emphasizes stability and reform post-elections.

  • Oil and Gas Law (HCL) is on track for parliamentary approval in 2026.

  • CBI reforms address currency hoarding, parallel markets, and banking modernization.

  • Dinar RV remains targeted for early 2026, with flexibility depending on political and fiscal readiness.

  • Citizens and investors should monitor progress closely for strategic opportunities.

IRAQ’S FORMER DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER HOSHYAR ZEBARI SPEAKS ON THE COUNTRY’S FUTURE AFTER ELECTIONS

Watch this video interview and see if you can figure out as to how this may turn out for us investors.

(Mnt Goat: This is still the sour grape and Iraq awaits President Trump’s special envoy Mark Savaya to arrive. Let’s see what happens from his meetings.)

_______________________________________

  • Passing and Implementing the Oil and Gas Law (or HCL): Please seethearticle below for an update on this new law:

 “AN ENDLESS CRISIS: WHY HASN’T THE OIL AND GAS LAW BEEN RELEASED FROM THE DRAWERS FOR 20 YEARS?” from today.

Seems they want to get the new law from the cabinet to parliament to try to pass it finally. I think everyone is finally onboard with this including mostly Kurdistan. They are actually now following the provisions within the law and so I don’t think it is going to be hard to pass. So it will probably be one of the first bills taken up in the new parliament in 2026.

“THE OIL AND GAS LAW: KURDISH PRIORITIES IN THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT FORMATION NEGOTIATIONS” from 11/20 Newsletter

 (Mnt Goat: I do not believe this is any longer going to be an issue and there are strong assurances that the Oil and Gas Law will finally go to parliament and be voted on and pass.)

___________________________________

  • Parallel vs Official CBI rate of the dollar:  Well,,,well,,, we have certainly heard lots about the parallel market and so according to the CBI this is no longer of any real concern. They told us they expect spikes in the dollar from time to time and so we have had them. However, they are controlled spikes since they occur mostly under speculation or when the CBI decides to make changes that effect the dollars in some way. For instance, of the recent spike when the CBI proposed the ‘advance customs declaration’ issued by the ASYCUDA system. The speculators in the dollar (black market) tried to kill the CBI program with claiming they needed a devaluation in the dinar. It was all just hyped up and we read multiple articles on it. Surely a devaluation would have made the market much worst but in their favor. See articles titled:

“THE ADVANCE CUSTOMS DECLARATION COMES INTO EFFECT” from the 12/4 Newsletter

“THE CENTRAL BANK WARNS THOSE SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE”  from the 12/2 Newsletter

“PRESSURE ON THE CENTRAL BANK TO CHANGE THE EXCHANGE RATE CONSTITUTES INTERFERENCE WITH ITS INDEPENDENCE” from the 12/2 Newletter

“THE CENTRAL BANK SETTLES THE DEBATE: THERE IS NO INTENTION TO AMEND THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE IRAQI DINAR” from 11/25 Newsletter

(Mnt Goat: I do not believe this is any longer going to be an issue. The CBI has told us already many times this is not a major issue and they can control the parallel market. That any recent spikes they predicted form speculators and are short lived. Soon there are measures that will eliminate the parallel market all together like the advance customs declaration issued by the ASYCUDA system, including the rapid access code (QR). The CBI is working with 80 international banks already and soon most banks will be allowed to work with any international currency once the Banking Reform project is completed. This has international IQD written all over it.)

_________________________________________________

  • Collection of the 80% of currency outside the banking system: Every week there is an article on this one in some fashion or closely related. It is of major concern. amount of cash held by the public is estimated at around 90 trillion dinars, out of a total money supply of 98 trillion dinars in Iraq. 

Remember that this retrieval of currency is all related to the electronic banking and Point of Sale. These are ways to avoid more stashes in the future. Today we have yet more articles titled:

“ECONOMIC: THE SHIFT TOWARDS AN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEM PROVIDES THE STATE WITH FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY” from today.

“THE ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEM: A DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THAT THREATENS CITIZENS’ TRUST”  from today.

“THE CENTRAL BANK WANTS TO SOLVE THE CASH PROBLEM” from the 12/2 Newsletter.

“CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ: NET CURRENCY IN CIRCULATION EXCEEDS 92 TRILLION DINARS IN ONE MONTH” from 11/20 Newsletter

“FINANCIAL EXPERT: PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST BANKS AND ARE STORING THEIR MONEY AT HOME” from 11/4 Newsletter

(Mnt Goat: I do not believe this is any longer going to be an issue as value will be added to these stashes of notes, which we were just told are mostly the older lower denominations. We are told the the older notes and the newer lower denominations will coincide both in and out of Iraq for at least a year once the remove the zeros project occurs.)

Election Update:

Lastly the other swamp that must be drained is the infiltration of Iran into Iraqi politics and the move by Iran to make Iraq a puppet state. Iran wants the GOI to fund the Iranian militia…. and make it legal too. How about that for corruption? By all the news we have been reading from my blog, most should realize by now the severity of this past November elections and what it will mean to get al-Sudani back for a second term. Oh boy…. does this sound familiar with Donald Trump and his second term…. Many say in Iraq that this past election is critical for Iraqi just as the last election was so critical in the U.S. and for the future survival and prosperity of both countries. The parallels of the US politics to Iraqi politics are uncanny, almost scary how we could have lost both countries to the dark side. It is not hard to see some entity behind the scenes orchestrating these events for the betterment of mankind. Could it be God’s Hand?

New details have emerged about the talks for selecting a prime minister, and this is the American position. Former MP, Abdul Hadi Al-Saadawi, revealed new details about the coordination framework talks for selecting the next prime minister, clarifying the American position on the new government. I do not know what will happen about all these Iranians who won so many seats in the election. We are still waiting to hear how the U.S. wants to handle this issue. More than likely, the dual passports and citizenship issue will arise and may eliminate them from politics. The second runners-up, if not Iranian, may take the seat.

As far as the prime minister, I strongly feel that al-Sudani will be continue for a second term. There will be objections, appeals and petitions to stop him especially from the Coordination Framework, just as there are elements still trying to stop president Trump from running, then from being elected and now even once he took office. So, what plans will be made to remove the militia troops on the ground still has to be worked out. The CBI is waiting news from US Special Envoy Mark Savaya and the US Ambassador. Again, remember that the CBI has worked and is still working in tandem behind the scenes and  ahead of the GOI so the GOI has to catch up. There has to be a balance of politics with the financial reforms occurring.

Having read my RV Status for this period when do you think the RV will happen?

WASHINGTON CALLS ON BAGHDAD TO DISMANTLE “IRANIAN MILITIAS” AND AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT TO WORKING WITH IRAQ

 WASHINGTON CALLS ON BAGHDAD TO DISMANTLE “IRANIAN MILITIAS” AND AFFIRMS ITS COMMITMENT TO WORKING WITH IRAQ

US Deputy Secretary of State Michael Regas called on Iraq on Wednesday to dismantle “Iranian militias” that are causing instability in the region and harming Iraqis, stressing in a speech during the opening of the new US consulate building in Erbil that his country is committed to working closely with Iraqi partners on common interests.

Statements by US Deputy Secretary of State Michael Regas during the opening of the new US consulate building in Erbil:

The United States is committed to working closely with Iraqi partners on their shared interests in ensuring Iraq’s sovereignty, combating terrorism, and also bringing about stability and strengthening the economic relationship.

Of course, the Iraqi Kurdistan region is stable and secure, and the opening of the consulate is an extension of the relationship between the region and the United States over time, and a fruitful dialogue about proactive steps to reduce any conflicts.

We encourage Iraqis and Kurds to dismantle the Iranian militias that destabilize the region and harm Iraqis. That’s why, last week when the gas field was attacked, President Trump prioritized trade despite the conflict. That’s why we support American companies in Iraq and see the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as a dynamic entry point for American businesses into the Iraqi market.

MNT GOAT: Iraq Election & CBI Reforms 2025 | Sudani Victory & Dinar RV Updates

Sudani Coalition Achieves Major Victory in Iraqi Elections

On November 18th, the newsletter reported: “AFP: Sudani Coalition Achieves Major Victory in Iraqi Elections.”Much like in other democracies, Iraqis are navigating political systems influenced by global and local ideologies. While the public voted for change, political parties may still push agendas that conflict with citizen interests, creating tension between popular will and governmental action.

Featured Snippet:

“The Sudani coalition’s victory shows the will of the Iraqi people, but political maneuvering continues to affect reforms, including the Central Bank of Iraq’s plans for currency reinstatement.”

Faith, Action, and Civic Responsibility

While external pressures and political obstacles exist, citizens can take meaningful steps:

  • Pray and reflect, seeking guidance for personal and national action.

  • Participate in civic processes, including voting and contacting representatives.

  • Promote unity, drawing inspiration from prophecies emphasizing collective action.

Fear often prevents action, but informed and united communities can significantly influence political and economic outcomes.

The Role of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI)

The CBI operates independently, but in coordination with the Government of Iraq (GOI), to drive financial reforms. Despite political slowdowns, the CBI continues its initiatives, including:

  • Banking reforms, especially targeting private banks and major government-owned banks.

  • Currency reforms, including the historic zero removal project targeting early January 2026.

  • Preparation for the Dinar’s reinstatement on Forex, aligned with Iraq’s fiscal year and budget cycles.

Featured Snippet:

“CBI reforms continue regardless of political delays, ensuring Iraq is ready for currency reinstatement and a stronger financial system.”

The Five US Mandates for Iraq

To proceed with the Dinar RV, the US outlined five main conditions:

  1. Clean up the private banks: Banking reform is in advanced stages and expected to be completed by Q1 2026.

  2. Expulsion of PMF militias: Political and security challenges remain, especially regarding Iran-backed groups.

  3. Passing and implementing the Oil and Gas Law (HCL): Essential for energy sector reform and revenue generation.

  4. Aligning the parallel and official CBI dollar rates: Ensures consistency in currency exchange and market stability.

  5. Collection of 80% of currency outside the banking system: Critical for liquidity and effective monetary control.

Progress on these mandates is ongoing, with some mandates already showing significant advancement, particularly banking reforms.

Political Dynamics Impacting Progress

The Sudani coalition victory provides hope, but political realities may influence the pace of reforms:

  • Parliamentary procedures and elections delay budget approvals.

  • Popular demand may conflict with entrenched political interests.

  • The GOI must catch up to CBI’s ongoing reforms to satisfy international requirements.

Featured Snippet:

“While the GOI navigates political processes, the CBI continues currency and banking reforms, ensuring Iraq meets the criteria for Dinar reinstatement.”

Key Takeaways

  • Sudani coalition victory reflects public demand for change.

  • CBI reforms are progressing, despite political delays.

  • Five US mandates are central to the Dinar RV timeline.

  • Currency reinstatement remains targeted for early January 2026, but flexibility exists depending on fiscal and political readiness.

  • Citizens are encouraged to stay informed, engaged, and united to influence Iraq’s economic future.

See the article in the 11/18 Newsletter titled “AFP: SUDANI COALITION ACHIEVES MAJOR VICTORY IN IRAQI ELECTIONS”

Like in the U.S. these wicked people in Iraq are using our own democratic principles to overcome our lives and try to govern us under their own globalist ideological principles, which are in direct conflict with our values and desires. It’s the same old, same old for thousands of years. The US experiment must work. We must spread our principles of freedom and self-governance throughout the world.

However, they want to break down the very fabric of our societies and turn the world into a waste basket for their own control using shortages and crises. They want hopelessness. They want us to give up.

So, we see this too in Iraq, no different. There is only one way to overcome this. We must pray and believe that God will help us. But in doing so we must also take action and perform what God is telling each and everyone of us to do. Yes, in our own hearts we feel the presence of God and we do know what to do. We can properly vote, we can keep hounding our representatives for what we want, we can run for office and get involved, etc., etc.

FEAR is keeping most of us back from doing it. Many of us may be retired and physically are limited. But there is still much we can do. Open you heart, sit quietly and pray. The answers will come. Oh.. we may have to sacrifice. We must overcome this fear. Kim Clement told us of a prophecy where he witnessed millions of united people all shouting for unity. In the middle of the crowd was a man, his face he could not see, as of yet. A decade or more later we learn this man could be Trump. So, God tells us to unite and fight these bastards. They are VERY afraid of us when we unite against their foolishness and lies. We must not give up! Here is the Kim Clement prophecy. Do you think God was wrong?

I also want to remind everyone of my background. I worked in the US Army Military intelligence branch for many years. I was trained to think a certain way. I used to brief generals on the information that came through channels. Based on this information they made critical decisions on the battlefield. Later I earned a master degree in Economics. I am not some dummy, high school dropout. I use these abilities and skill sets to help us all try to understand the articles and connect it to what I am told from my CBI contact. I can only report on what I know and what I can deduce from the FACTS. Absolutely no one has a crystal ball. I have warned everyone already time is short and so the window for the 2026 reinstatement is getting narrower and narrower as December rolls by. I do not ever want to spread rumors or fill the blog with opinions. Opinions must be justified with something to backs them up or they are just rhetoric and nonsense. They are just an expression of frustration. So, if you have an opinion and can back it up with FACTS then it is no longer just an opinion, right? Instead, it becomes an expression of FACTS.

So, along with my CBI contact, months ago we were able to draw out the five main issues that could prevent the reinstatement process. I know everyone remembers these, as I drilled them into your heads over and over again, right? So, have we not seen these exact five issues all of them in the news mostly. Yes, the news is almost entirely about these five issues all related to them in one way or the other. Get it? I think my CBI contact and I did a pretty good job in getting a handle on this investment. But we can’t control the outcome. Yes, no crystal ball. Also remember that the CBI works independently but in tandem with the GOI. It needs the GOI but also brings in the experts to help with the financial reforms. So, even though the GOI may stumble depending on the prime minister and his work, the CBI keeps moving along in the background regardless under Ali al-Alaq. This is what has happened only the CBI has out paced the GOI while they wait for the GOI to catch up. If I can sum it up that is the problem.

You may ask then, what is it that the GOI has to catch up to keep pace with the CBI?

The answer again is these five issues I keep talking about. Here they are again:

“The five mandates by the US for Iraq:  

  • Clean up the Private Banks:   
  • Expulsion of the PMF militia in Iraq:  
  • Passing and Implementing the Oil and Gas Law or HCL:  
  • Parallel vs Official CBI rate of the dollar:  
  • Collection of the 80% of currency outside the banking system:  

😊 Please take a peek at the article titled “IRAQ’S 2025 ELECTION: A RECALIBRATION OF POWER, NOT A RUPTURE OF THE STATUS QUO”.

I added this article back again in the Articles Section of today’s Newsletter so you can easily reference it. Go figure what is occurring now as the election moves through. Are they going to get the “change” or continue the change in progress of Al-Sudani the people want to continue or is Iraq going to backwards to the same old stale status quo from the Nori al-Maliki days? We wait in anticipation to see what happens. Will it happen in time to be able for the CBI to reinstate the dinar. Time will tell. No one has a crystal ball. I will not hang up the thoughts of a January reinstatement until the time come and there is no reinstatement. I was told over and over again since September that the CBI is targeting early January 2026 with the project to delete the zero prior or to coincide. )

I also want to remind everyone that Dr Shabibi told us that the MOST opportune time (not the only time) to reinstate the dinar and have a substantial raise in the rate is the beginning of a fiscal year. Why is this? Why did he say this?

He said this because according to the budgeting process, the new annual budget is supposed to be ready and opened for spending on January 1st of each year. So, I ask has it every been ready on time?

Knowing this about the budget gives the CBI some latitude in the timing of the reinstatement. They have the entire month of January. In fact, it can go longer since parliament is not yet even in session to vote on the new budget due to the election cycle. They are going to try for a three (3) year 2026-2028 budget again. In the meantime, if they don’t get all this done for January 1st, they have a process to spend money at 1/12 of the proposed budget. This could buy them some time to get these five (5) other issues resolved. Let’s review what might happen to each of these five (5) issues. For reference I only went back to beginning of November. There were many more articles on these subject matters. You can poke through them and scan them if you wish by clicking on the links to them. Folks this is all I have. I can’t make the RV happen nor lie to you that it did happen.

I can only show you the FACTS of what might hold it up and then again what they told us they were doing to go forward. What I am not demonstrating to you today, as this is not the main topic, is the slew of articles we had on the currency reform project they told us about in mid November and how they told us the CBI was launching this historic project to reform the currency. See the article below:

“THE IRAQI DINAR WITHOUT ZEROS: THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ LAUNCHES A HISTORIC REFORM” from 11/11 Newsletter.

I then took this article to my CBI contact back then and received her confirmation the CBI was targeting early January 2026 to complete this “historic” reform. She still tells me just yesterday that the target has NOT changed from early January. So, in trying to decide whether these mandates are any longer a threat to moving along with the currency reform, let dive a bit deeper and see if the progress is ‘good enough’ to give the U.S. assurances that it will happen to their satisfaction or if it has already progressed to their satisfaction.

“The five mandates by the US for Iraq:

  • Clean up the Private Banks: The Banking Reform Plan is underway, and the CBI told us they plan to be completed by the first quarter of 2026. These reforms are about the smaller private banks but mostly about the two main government owned banks. See articles below:

“THE CENTRAL BANK REASSURES: COMPREHENSIVE REFORMS AND A SWIFT RETURN OF BANKS DEPRIVED OF DOLLARS” from 12/4/ Newsletter

“SAMIR AL-NASSIRI: THE BANKING REFORM PLAN IS BEING IMPLEMENTED SUCCESSFULLY ACCORDING TO ITS TIMETABLE” from 12/4/ Newsletter

“THE CENTRAL BANK CONFIRMS A RAPID RESPONSE FROM BANKS TO JOIN THE BANKING REFORM PLAN” from 11/4 Newsletter

(Mnt Goat: I do not believe this is any longer going to be an issue and the US, World Bank and the IMF are satisfied with this one.)

________________________________________

  • Expulsion of the PMF militia in Iraq: There are numerous, humorous articles on this subject in the recent news period. But we get the thoughts of what is going on in Iraq. There is no way the US is going to get these groups off the terrorist list. Yes, they actually want to change these dangerous terrorist groups in Iraq to non-terrorist designations to free up their frozen bank accounts. Why? Iran is falling apart and needs the money. This is why Iran took Iraq as a proxy state. They need assurances of funding to fund their economy and their terrorist activities. So, why did Iraq enter sanctions to begin with? They entered UN sanctions due to the attack on Kuwait but also to prevent the funding of terrorists organizations in Iraq. Why would the US reinstate the dinar under these conditions if they still existed? I am just asking. Do you have the answer?

Here are the articles on this subject matter. You owe it to yourself to read all three articles in the order to which I present them. They will make much more sense. I have included comments in each article to help you understand better what is going on.

THE IRAQI AND AMERICAN FOREIGN MINISTERS DISCUSS GOVERNMENT FORMATION AND REVIEW REGIONAL CHALLENGES

 THE IRAQI AND AMERICAN FOREIGN MINISTERS DISCUSS GOVERNMENT FORMATION AND REVIEW REGIONAL CHALLENGES

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein discussed with US Deputy Secretary of State Michael Regas on Tuesday joint cooperation in various political, economic and security fields and the regional and international challenges facing the region. While stressing the need to expedite the formation of the federal government, Hussein called for a review of travel warnings to Iraq.

This came during Fuad Hussein’s reception of the US Deputy Secretary of State in Baghdad, where the meeting discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations between Iraq and the United States, and to follow up on frameworks for joint cooperation in various political, economic and security fields.

According to a statement issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs and received by Shafaq News Agency, the meeting included a review of “regional and international challenges facing the region, including efforts to achieve stability, the need to support dialogue, with a focus on the situation in Syria and Iran, and the importance of working to reduce tension and build understanding to enhance security and stability in the region.”

Hussein emphasized the importance of de-escalating regional tensions, stressing Iraq’s role in supporting stability efforts. He also reviewed the political developments following the elections.

He stressed “the need to expedite the formation of the federal government in accordance with constitutional timelines, while taking into account the balance between political forces to ensure the regularity of the democratic process and the activation of parliament and government, in a way that contributes to the efficient and effective implementation of government programs.”

Hussein also praised the positive atmosphere that prevailed during the elections and the high voter turnout, stressing the importance of continued political stability in the country.

He pointed to the imminent opening of the US consulate in Erbil, and what it represents in terms of strengthening diplomatic cooperation between the two countries, while stressing the need to reopen the US consulate in Basra Governorate.

Hussein stressed the importance of “continued coordination between Iraq and the United States, and continued cooperation in the areas of economy, infrastructure and investment, in order to promote development and support the return of American companies to invest in Iraq.”

He also called for a review of travel warnings to Iraq, given the security stability the country is experiencing, and for facilitating investment opportunities.

For his part, Michael Regas expressed the United States’ appreciation for the progress Iraq has made in promoting stability and security, stressing his country’s support for efforts in this area.

He pointed to the importance of continued regional and international coordination to address economic, political and security challenges, stressing the importance of working within a positive bilateral relationship with the Iraqi government.

MNT GOAT: Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV: What to Expect in December 2025 and Beyond

Status of the Iraqi Dinar RV

As we approach the end of 2025, many investors are asking: “Has the Iraqi Dinar RV begun?” The short answer: not yet. Despite earlier promises of a potential RV around this time, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has not executed the zero removal.

It’s important to remember: the RV does not have to happen on January 1st. There are options throughout the month, including early or late January releases. Patience is key.

Current Signals from the CBI

Recent information from contacts at the CBI indicates:

  • January 2026 is still considered a target for the reinstatement of the Dinar on Forex.

  • All reforms and economic projects undertaken by Iraq—like the Development Road Project, oil sector expansion, and Customs/Tariff improvements—are steps toward re-entering global markets.

  • Reports of delays or discouraging news are often influenced by external propaganda, notably from interests wishing to keep Iraq economically dependent on Iran.

Featured Snippet:

“The CBI continues to work toward the RV, with January 2026 still a target. Reforms and infrastructure projects support Iraq’s plan to re-enter global markets.

”

Why the Delay?

Delays are tied to several factors:

  1. Security concerns, particularly regarding Iran.

  2. U.S. approval and other international regulatory requirements.

  3. Execution of economic reforms to stabilize Iraq’s financial system.

  4. Political considerations within Iraq, including parliamentary decisions and leadership appointments.

  5. Global market readiness for the Dinar’s return to Forex.

Even though the RV hasn’t occurred yet, experts emphasize that it is still considered a mandatory step for Iraq’s long-term financial goals.

Political Context

Iraq’s political landscape continues to influence the RV timeline:

  • Iraq was under Chapter VII UN sanctions until December 2022.

  • The election of a pro-business, nationalist leader has increased public confidence.

  • Some political parties and “old guard” members continue to propagate delays, despite popular support for reform.

Featured Snippet:

“Political dynamics and international approvals contribute to the RV timing, but the CBI is committed to moving forward when conditions are ready.”

Q&A: Iraqi Dinar RV

Q1: Has the zero removal begun?
A1: No, the zero removal has not yet started, but the CBI continues to target early 2026 for execution.

Q2: Why isn’t it happening immediately?
A2: Factors include security issues, international approvals, economic reforms, and political dynamics.

Q3: Could it still happen in January 2026?
A3: Yes, January remains a target, though the release could happen early or late in the month.

Q4: Why is the RV important?
A4: Reinstating the Dinar on Forex is a critical step for Iraq’s economic growth, global market integration, and long-term financial stability.

Key Takeaways

  • The RV is still on the horizon, with January 2026 as the current target.

  • Economic reforms support Iraq’s plan to re-enter global markets.

  • Political and security factors affect the exact timing, but the plan is mandatory for future financial goals.

  • Patience and vigilance are essential for investors tracking the RV.

STATUS OF THE RV

________________________________________

If I were you, I would keep the champagne in the frig. The show is not over until the fat lady at the circus sings….. lol.. lol.. ðŸ˜Š It is early December and the CBI may still go ahead with removing the zeros in time for a January release. Oh… but remember it does not have to happen exactly on January 1st as there are thirty-one days in the month. They could also change the plan and remove the zeros in early January and release in late January. There are options.

________________________________________

I wish I could tell everyone that the removing the of the zero has begun but it hasn’t. Here we sit, almost mid-December already and still waiting for the execution of what they told us months ago would occur at about now. Will we have to wait until mid 2026 or longer for the reinstatement? 

I need everyone to listen carefully to the introduction AUDIO when you clicked on the blog today. It plays automatically. Yes, it’s a longer than usual commentary but it is on purpose. Even if this RV does not occur as we hoped in January our hopes and dreams are not all for nothing. Folks they are telling us now this is right around the bend and the dinar is going back to FOREX. It is not an option but a mandatory step for the future financial goals of Iraq. 

Tell me…. why in hell would the CBI along with a huge effort from the GOI go through all these reforms and economic projects i.e. The Development Road Project, expansion of oil, Customs and Tariffs. etc., etc. if they were not serious to re-enter the global markets? 

Come’ on folks why the gloomy faces when I tell you we might have to wait until 2026? Remember I am not hanging the possibility of early January 2026 until my CBI contact tells me to move on. We are still in the ballpark folks. There is lots of discouraging articles, mostly falsified information by the Iranian influence who want to keep the same old status quo of enriching Iran over Iraq. 

So, we are not yet out of the proverbial ‘dog haus’ yet with this RV. All the messages we are getting from the CBI now tell us that January 2026 is still a target for the reinstatement. I have some doubts just as you do, but they are still insistent. I try not to let this news prejudice me too much as I like to see all of it backed up with more evidence. Yes, there is evidence too but there are also issues that must be worked out for the U.S. to allow it to progress. There are security concerns with Iran, but we all already know this, don’t we? You can refresh yourself on the list of the five issues in the September 16th Newsletter. So, what is the current news? Once again it evolves around these five (5) main issues. Surprise! Surprise!

We must remember that up until December 2022, Iraq was still under Chapter VII UN sanctions for repayment of War Reparations. Somehow Iraq managed to finally vote in a guy who is a true patriot of Iraq, a business man, like Trump, who saw the economic potential and knew how to “make Iraq great again” and “Iraq first”. Sound familiar?

The citizens luv him and voted for him in the last election by overwhelming majority (sound familiar again?) , but the political parties don’t seem to care what the people want. Was all the voting for nothing? If I was Al-Sadar I would have my people on the streets rioting to bring about the change necessary to open their ears to listen to the people. Al-Sudani had won the largest parliamentary bloc with nearly 50 seats or more. It should be a no brainer who should be the next prime minister. But they push out propaganda resurrect the old dinosaurs for prime ministers that failed Iraq as new candidates, really?
