Is This the Prelude to a New Exchange Rate?
Commentary based on Militia Man
🏛️ WTO Preparations Announced
On January 4, 2026, Iraq’s Ministry of Trade revealed advanced preparations for World Trade Organization (WTO) membership.
Key steps include:
Legislative updates
Bilateral negotiations
Scheduling of the 4th working party meeting
Interestingly, the Ministry did not explain why these steps were delayed or why they weren’t completed in the first quarter of 2025.
Militia Man suggests the reason is clear:
“Probably has an exchange rate orientation to it.”
💱 Exchange Rate Implications
According to Militia Man, these WTO steps are more than procedural. They reflect Iraq’s preparation to:
Align trade frameworks with international standards
Reduce barriers to foreign investment
Integrate the redeemed or redenominated dinar into global markets
This supports the growing narrative that economic reform and currency normalization are driving policy behind the scenes.
🧑💼 Leadership is Secondary
Militia Man emphasizes that, regardless of political figures — Maliki, Al-Abadi, or Al-Sudani — the focus is on economic stability:
“They told you that’s secondary to the economic situation.”
Al-Sudani’s policies, in particular, are credited with:
Directly supporting citizen welfare
Promoting financial transparency
Maintaining political and economic stability
💰 Iraq’s Economic Strengths
Iraq is sitting on tremendous resources, which makes global market integration feasible:
Natural resources estimated at $16 trillion
Low inflation
Large foreign reserves and gold holdings
Significant non-oil revenue streams
Militia Man notes that these factors reduce risk for international partners like the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which recently approved a $100 million facility.
🌐 Iraq Headed for Global Markets
The WTO steps and financial preparation signal Iraq is positioning itself globally:
Opening trade for international investors
Creating confidence in currency and fiscal reforms
Paving the way for an internationally tradable dinar
Militia Man’s conclusion is clear:
“They’re headed into the global markets. It’s obvious. It’s clear as day.”

Militia Man
The Ministry of Trade announced on January 4, 2026 advanced preparations for Iraq's World Trade Organization membership.
This includes legislative updates and bilateral negotiations with the 4th working party meeting expected soon. They don't tell you why.
Why didn't they tell you, why they didn't do it the first quarter of 2025?
...Probably has an exchange rate orientation to it..
I don't care if you think Maliki...Al-Abadi or Sudani is going to be the guy, they told you that's secondary to the economic situation. We'll see who it is but it's obvious to everyone that Al-Sudani and what he's done has been directly related to taking care of the citizens...
Iraq has lots of natural resources, somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 trillion. You have to take that into consideration.
Low inflation, plenty of foreign reserves, plenty of gold...and a huge amount of non-oil revenue streams, ties to global financial integration, political stability reduces risks for International partners such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development $100 million dollar facility...They're headed into the global markets. It's obvious. It's clear as day...
