The conversation around the Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV) continues to intensify — especially following remarks made during an Atlantic Council broadcast in April 2024.
Now resurfacing in 2026 investment discussions, those statements from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudaniare being re-examined by dinar investors worldwide.
Let’s separate fact from interpretation — and analyze what truly matters.
🎙️ The Key Statement from PM Al-Sudani
During a live event hosted by the Atlantic Council (April 19, 2024), the Prime Minister was asked directly:
Is the Iraqi government thinking of revaluing the dinar due to market conditions?
His response emphasized:
Currency policy is dictated by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).
The government abides by the Central Bank’s decisions.
Iraq is in its “best status” economically.
Banking reforms are underway.
Reforms are expected to “raise the level of the value of the Iraqi dinar.”
🔎 What Is the Main Takeaway?
The most important sentence:
“This is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar.”
However — this must be understood carefully.
He did not announce:
An RV date
A rate target
An immediate adjustment
He referenced banking reforms, which typically strengthen a currency gradually over time through:
Improved reserves
Stronger banking compliance
Reduced dollar leakage
Monetary discipline
🏦 Who Controls the Rate Change?
The answer is clear:
👉 The Central Bank of Iraq.
Under Iraqi law, the CBI independently controls:
Exchange rate policy
Foreign reserves
Monetary instruments
Currency redenomination plans
No Prime Minister “pulls the trigger” on a rate change. The Central Bank executes policy based on economic fundamentals.
🪙 Iraq’s Gold Reserves & Monetary Strength
Iraq’s gold holdings have increased significantly in recent years, strengthening reserve backing.
Gold accumulation typically signals:
Hedging against dollar volatility
Long-term monetary stabilization
Reserve diversification
However, gold reserves alone do not automatically equal a $3+ exchange rate. Exchange rates reflect broader macroeconomic realities.
💻 The Digital Dinar & Blockchain Discussion
There has been growing discussion about Iraq exploring:
Digital payment systems
Electronic banking reforms
Potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) frameworks
Many countries are modernizing financial systems — this is global, not unique to Iraq.
A digital dinar would likely:
Improve transparency
Reduce corruption
Limit black-market currency trading
Strengthen monetary oversight
But again — digitization ≠ automatic RV.
🌍 The Iran Factor: Does Regional Stability Matter?
Yes — regional stability always affects economic confidence.
The relationship between Iran and Iraq impacts:
Energy exports
Border trade
Militia security risks
Investor confidence
However, claims that regime change in Tehran is a required “trigger” for an RV remain speculative.
Economic reforms typically depend more on:
Internal fiscal policy
Oil revenues
Inflation control
Reserve stability
International banking compliance
📊 The “Delete the Zeros” Project
The redenomination plan — often referred to as “deleting three zeros” — has been discussed by Iraqi officials for years.
This process would:
Simplify accounting
Reduce large denomination notes
Modernize cash handling
Potentially strengthen public confidence
But it is a structural currency reform — not necessarily a windfall overnight rate jump.
📌 Featured Snippet: Who Controls the Iraqi Dinar Rate?
The exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is controlled exclusively by the Central Bank of Iraq. While the Prime Minister supports economic reform, only the Central Bank has authority to adjust the official rate.
❓ Q&A for Iraqi Dinar Investors
Q1: Did Al-Sudani confirm a revaluation?
No. He confirmed banking reforms that could strengthen the currency over time — not an immediate RV event.
Q2: Is a gold-backed dinar confirmed?
Iraq holds gold reserves, but there is no official confirmation of a full gold-pegged currency.
Q3: Does Iran have to “fall” for the dinar to revalue?
There is no official evidence that regime change in Iran is a required trigger for Iraqi currency reform.
Q4: What actually supports a stronger dinar?
Strong oil exports
Controlled inflation
Growing foreign reserves
Stable security environment
Transparent banking reforms
🧠 Important Reality Check for Investors
It’s easy to connect global events into a single “reset” narrative. But currency markets operate on:
Macroeconomic fundamentals
International trade balances
Reserve strength
Monetary policy credibility
Large overnight resets tied to secret IMF blueprints or fictional analogies (like The Blacklist’s Fulcrum) remain speculative interpretations — not confirmed policy.
📈 What Is Actually Moving Forward?
✔ Banking sector modernization
✔ Electronic transaction enforcement
✔ Reserve strengthening
✔ Anti-corruption measures
✔ Exchange rate management reforms
These are real, documented efforts.
Whether they culminate in a sudden revaluation or gradual appreciation remains unknown.

Atlantic Council | Front Page-Iraq’s Prime Minister on building a stronger relationship with the United States
Live Broadcast April 19 2024 at 2:30 PM ET
Question: Is the Iraqi government thinking of revaluing the value of Dinar due to the current circumstances in the market?
Or do you see it to stay the same?
Prime Minister Al Sudani’s Response:
This policy is actually dictated by the Central Bank. The government abides by the decision of the Central Bank. Iraq is in the best status we could be in. We have actually had an assessment which has given much trust to higher global parties. So we started reforms when it comes to the banking sector. We have spoken about this before,
but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar. There is a consistent policy the Central Bank is using when it comes to investments and how they invest the money for our own reserves here in Iraq.
Did You See The Main Sentence?
“We have spoken about this before, but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar.” End Quote
What did you learn here?
Who is in charge of the rate change?
Who will ultimately pull the trigger?
What is currently happening with the USD?
What is currently happening with silver?
What is currently happening with the digital currency in Iraq?
What is currently happening with RLUSD?
What is currently happening with Iran?
All of these things are bringing you the revaluation in their respective fields.

Ariel : Iran is Important for the Currency Revaluation

Iran Is Important For The Currency Revaluation: Removing Them Is The Trigger Point
Iraq’s Gold-Backed Digital Dinar and the Currency Revaluation
Iran’s grip prevents Iraq’s economic sovereignty. A revalued Iraqi Dinar, pegged to gold reserves (Iraq’s holdings surged to 145 tons by October 2025, Central Bank of Iraq, Baghdad), requires regional calm. Without it, hyperinflation and black-market chaos persist.
The Plan: A digital dinar system, integrated with blockchain for transparency, backed by oil revenues and gold. This isn’t public knowledge – it’s buried in classified IMF consultations (IMF Country Report No. 25/183, June 11, 2025) pushing for redenomination (deleting three zeros) to streamline transactions and attract foreign investment.
Why Iran Must Fall:
Iranian proxies siphon billions from Iraq’s oil (fifth-largest reserves globally, Basra fields) via smuggling networks, raking in $1 billion annually (Reuters, December 3, 2024). This funds terror, not reconstruction.
Regime change in Tehran clears the path: no more proxy attacks on pipelines, stable exchange rates (current IQD at 1,310 to USD, targeted reset to pre-1991 levels around 3 IQD per USD).
The “new financial system” – a gold-standard digital network – hinges on this, enabling seamless trade across a pacified Middle East.
Think about this. Deepstate blueprints, akin to the Fulcrum in Blacklist Season 2 – a device holding all secrets – outline this as part of a broader reset.
Iraq’s Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq (Baghdad) confirmed in October 2025 the “zero removal” project advances, but off-record memos tie it to U.S.-backed stabilization post-Iran conflict.
Without peace, no dinar RV; with it, trillions in locked value unleash.
