As the week closes, Iraq remains in political deadlock, with the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki as the next prime minister fueling controversy.
MNT GOAT warns that Maliki is increasingly seen as toxic by members of the Coordination Framework — and this deadlock has direct implications for the Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV).
Let’s explore the current situation, what it means for the currency, and the broader geopolitical context.
Why Maliki’s Nomination Is Controversial
Maliki has a history of breaking agreements with the US and favoring factions influenced by Iran.
He lacks a coherent vision for Iraq, focusing instead on ambition, power, and control.
Critics warn his return could undermine reform and stall economic progress.
MNT GOAT frames this as part of a broader moral and divine justice narrative, suggesting Maliki’s nomination may backfire politically, exposing corruption and betrayal within the Coordination Framework.
The US Factor: Trump’s Influence on Iraq
Recent commentary suggests that any chance of an Iraqi dinar RV may be tied to the Trump administration’s strategy:
Trump seeks to “Make Iraq Great Again”, aligning Iraq’s government with US economic and foreign policy.
A government led by Maliki cannot be trusted to honor US agreements and may favor Iranian interests.
Trump’s influence could be a stabilizing factor if a compliant, reform-minded government is installed.
Without alignment, monetary reform, including dinar RV, is unlikely.
The Dollar Shortage & Controversial Exchange Rate Plans
A recent article titled “MP: GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT TO RAISE THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE TO 180,000 DINARS” highlighted claims that:
The government sees a dollar shortage as the primary financial problem.
Proposed solution: raise the dollar exchange rate to 160–180 dinars per USD.
Officials hope this would provide liquidity to pay salaries and balance finances.
MNT GOAT warns this approach is contrary to CBI policy:
CBI has kept the dinar stable, avoiding extreme devaluation.
Such a move would favor dollar exchangers and potentially funnel currency to Iran via black markets.
Previous crises (pandemic, oil price drops) did not result in such a massive devaluation.
Is This Really About Economic Policy?
MNT GOAT argues that these suggestions are political maneuvering disguised as financial reform:
Knee-jerk reactions to debt and liquidity issues
Misplaced blame on currency value rather than structural solutions
Potential exploitation of dollar flows for factional interests
This mirrors the US Democratic approach to overspending without addressing core problems, according to MNT GOAT.
CBI’s Role vs. Government Plans
The Central Bank of Iraq has consistently:
Maintained monetary stability
Protected currency reserves
Controlled liquidity and dollar flows
Encouraged long-term financial reform
Any government attempt to dictate exchange rates directly would undermine the CBI and risk destabilizing Iraq’s monetary system.

STATUS OF THE RV
As the end of the week nears, we see that Iraq is still at a deadlock to select their next prime minister. This deadlock only continues because of the suggested nomination of Nori al-Maliki for that position. As each day passes and these discussions continue, more and more members of the block are jumping ship and deciding that this guy Maliki is toxic. It is becoming more and more apparent it is time to ditch this guy.
Is this God’s Hand at work? Remember what he told us he would do to the actor playing the role of Joe Biden and how NOTHING he could do would work out? He destroyed his entire presidency and will go down in history as one of the worst. Remember that God has told us through his prophets that he will expose the corrupt and the wicked. Justice will prevail. So, is this really Nori al-Malki’s fate too? Is this nomination really going to backfire on the Coordination Framework and just be used by God to expose Maliki for what he really is – a “dirtbag” ?
We see in articles, even very recent articles, that the US, under president Trump is not going to backdown, compromise or negotiate and thus allow any outside nation, most importantly Iran, to influence Iraqi politics. Why is this? Let me explain.
First let me say we have read many articles already on the Trump dream to “Make Iraq Great Again”. This mantra says it all. If any man can bring Iraq to its full potential President Trump can. As investors, if we have any chance of seeing the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar and thus revaluation, if will be under the Trump administration.
Secondly, common sense tells us that if president Trump is going to work with Iraq to mold it into the financial and economic powerhouse, he must have a government in place that he can work with and will not betray his foreign policy. With Nori al-Maliki, he has proven himself a liar and time and time again he has not lived up to agreements and promises made to the US. Instead, he has chosen to work with dark elements behind the scenes of US foreign policy and Iranian influence.
Third, also Maliki does not have a promising future vision for Iraq. After all the publicity given so far about his nomination, we still have not heard any promises of ‘his’ vision from his mouth as to what he will do for Iraq. Yes, absolutely no vision! As we all know he has not vision only ambition. He already had eight years to prove himself and sadly he failed.
Why would anyone want to chance wasting yet another four years on him? His vision is a self-centered vision of self-indulgence, greed, power and control and what it means to him and only him. We know he still has aspirations to turn Iraq back to a dictatorship with him as the supreme leader. Dard people like Maliki just don’t ever change. So, in the article below we see this dark element manifested in what they say the news government will do to remedy the debt crisis. The CBI says ‘what crisis’?
In the recent article titled “MP: GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT TO RAISE THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE TO 180,000 DINARS” we read that the members tasks with forming the next government find that the problems facing Iraq is stemming from a shortage of dollars. But you see….of course they are going to say this since they are the same Iranian backers who must find way to funnel dollars to Iran.
Thus the higher rate they can get for the dollars they would have succeeded. I quote from the article – “the solution available to the government is to raise the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, which would allow for achieving financial balance and providing the necessary liquidity to pay salaries,“. In their minds they consider that “the real price of the dollar”, according to the financial assessment, should currently range between 160 and 170 dinars .”
Here’s the real scary part – “He pointed out that “an agreement was reached between important leaders in the country to keep the exchange rate within a range of 160, 170, and perhaps 180 dinars per dollar .”
So, what the hell is going on here? Does this new government think they are going to solely dictate monetary policy for Iraq? Is this not the job of the CBI?
If you have been listening to the news for the last year you could clearly see that these Iranians in Iraq want to destroy all that has been done so far to bring about the economic revival for Iraq. There has been many articles about devaluing the dinar to solve all their financial issues. Really? This is like the democrats in the US that spend, spend and throw more money at problems rather than real solutions. They have no solutions. They are not leaders only corrupt politicians. Later, like what would also happen in Iraq, they rack up enormous debt with nothing to show for it. Then more and more of our national treasures go to the banking cartel to pay for the massive debt.
These politicians in Iraq are just examples of this backwards thinking about how economic policy works and this one about the devaluation is so bizarre. They institute knee-jerk reactions to situations.
Do they really even know what is the cause? Such a high rate (a massive devaluation up to 180 dinars per dollar). They didn’t even devalue the dinar this much during the pandemic and the oil crisis (145 dinars per dollar). This suggested devaluation is contrary to the work of the CBI in the recent years. It would favor the dollar and the money exchangers selling dollars, something the CBI needs to break. It would also cause massive dollar flows to Iran through the illegal black market. Oh…. but maybe this is what this devaluation is really all about to the dollars out of the CBI to Iran.
