Iraq Dinar Revaluation Update: Quiet Banks, Political Pressure
In the latest commentary from MarkZ (Wednesday update), several key developments are drawing attention inside the dinar community:
The bond side remains “dead quiet.”
Wealth management contacts in banking have gone unusually silent.
February or early March is still viewed as a potential target window.
Iraqi political dynamics are intensifying, particularly around Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani and former PM Nouri al-Maliki.
Let’s break it down.
🏦 Banking Sector Goes Silent — What Could It Mean?
According to MarkZ, contacts in wealth management have suddenly stopped discussing timing or expectations. When asked about updates, they reportedly “go dead silent.”
This type of silence often fuels speculation. In financial environments, communication lockdowns can sometimes occur when:
Internal briefings are underway
Compliance restrictions are tightened
Sensitive policy changes are being discussed
Institutions are awaiting formal authorization
However, silence does not confirm a revaluation. It may simply reflect internal confidentiality or normal operational discretion.
Still, many observers believe that when financial professionals stop talking — something may be brewing behind the scenes.
💵 Bond Market Update: Still No Movement
On the bond side, the report indicates “dead quiet.”
Historically, bond activity has been viewed by some dinar analysts as a potential precursor to liquidity events. Yet, at this time:
No confirmed bond payouts
No verified liquidity release
No official announcements from recognized financial authorities
Until documentation or institutional confirmation appears, bond movement remains speculative.
📅 Is February Still the Target for RV?
❓ Question: Is February still the goal to release the RV?
MarkZ states he still believes February or early March remains the likely window and that he “feels very good about it.”
It’s important to understand:
No official RV date has been announced
The Central Bank of Iraq has not confirmed a rate change
Currency adjustments are sovereign decisions based on macroeconomic conditions
That said, timing speculation continues to center around:
Political stabilization
International alignment
Trade normalization
U.S. policy positioning
🏛 Political Pressure Intensifies in Iraq
A major development involves recent political discussions following reported diplomatic engagement after a visit to Baghdad by Tom Barrack.
An article titled:
“After Tom Barrack’s visit to Baghdad - did Al Sudani get the green light for a second term?”
has sparked debate inside Iraqi political circles.
🇮🇶 Who Is at the Center of This?
🔹 Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani
Current Prime Minister of Iraq.
🔹 Nouri al-Maliki
Former Prime Minister and controversial political figure.
Reports suggest:
The United States is actively influencing direction
Saudi Arabia has signaled opposition to Maliki’s political return
There is regional pressure favoring continuity under Al-Sudani
If Maliki’s political influence diminishes, it could mark a major shift in Iraq’s internal power structure.
🌍 Why Political Stability Matters for the RV
Currency reforms often require:
Political continuity
Regional cooperation
U.S. diplomatic alignment
Reduced factional conflict
If Al-Sudani consolidates leadership and gains international backing, it could create a more stable platform for financial reforms.
However, political developments alone do not automatically trigger a revaluation. Monetary policy decisions remain under the authority of the Central Bank of Iraq.
🔎 Featured Snippets
Is February the confirmed month for the Iraqi dinar revaluation?
No official confirmation has been made. February or early March is speculative commentary and has not been verified by the Central Bank of Iraq.
Why are banking contacts going silent?
Silence from wealth management professionals may indicate internal confidentiality, compliance restrictions, or ongoing briefings — but it does not confirm an RV.
What role does Iraqi politics play in currency reform?
Political stability can support financial reform efforts, but rate changes are ultimately controlled by Iraq’s central banking authority.
📊 Key Takeaways
Banking insiders reportedly quiet
Bond market inactive
February–March window still speculative
U.S. and Saudi political pressure visible
Iraqi leadership dynamics shifting
There is significant political movement happening in Iraq. Whether that movement aligns with a currency shift remains to be officially seen.
❓ Q&A Section
Q: Has the Central Bank of Iraq announced a rate change?
No. There has been no official announcement of a revaluation.
Q: Does banking silence confirm something is happening?
Not necessarily. Financial professionals often operate under confidentiality.
Q: Could political change accelerate an RV?
Political stability can create favorable conditions, but it does not guarantee a rate adjustment.
Q: Is Maliki leaving politics?
Reports suggest growing pressure against his return, but no formal conclusion has been confirmed.

MarkZ
(From Wednesday) On the bond side its dead quiet. On the banking side…my contacts in Wealth Management have gone very quiet. When you ask them anything on timing or what they have been told they go dead silent. Maybe they are getting que’d up and possibly getting some details. But nobody wants to lose their chance at the trough. This is just a guess.
Question: Is February still the goal to release the RV? MarkZ: I still think February or early March is still the goal. I still feel very good about it.
Article: “After Tom Barack’s visit to Baghdad - did Al Sudani get the green light for a second term?” The US is definitely pushing. Even Suadi Arabia is pushing and sent a message against Maliki’s return and is pushing for a return of Al-Sudani. There is a lot happening...in Iraqi politics. We may see the end of Maliki’s political career this week…at least for now.
