MarkZ Update: Iraq Parliament Crisis, Sudani’s Path to PM & Why the Silence on Bonds Could Be Significant

MarkZ Update: Iraq Parliament Crisis, Sudani’s Path to PM & Why the Silence on Bonds Could Be Significant

The latest commentary from MarkZ highlights rising political pressure inside Iraq — and an unusual global silence surrounding bonds and currency activity.

With constitutional deadlines reportedly passed and Parliament facing threats of dissolution, events may be reaching a decisive stage.

At the same time, bond updates remain quiet.

Is this coincidence — or convergence?

Let’s break it down.

🏛️ Iraq Headline: Parliament at Risk of Dissolution

A recent headline circulating in Iraq reads:

“State of Law threatens to dissolve parliament over stalled Presidential vote.”

According to MarkZ:

“Yup. The move is now to consolidate and force because they have passed constitutional deadlines.”

This suggests political factions may be preparing to force a resolution after delays in confirming the President.

Why the Presidential Vote Matters

In Iraq’s constitutional structure:

  1. Parliament confirms the President.

  2. The President formally nominates the Prime Minister.

  3. The Prime Minister forms the government.

Without step one, the rest cannot legally proceed.

Delays beyond constitutional timelines increase pressure on political blocs to act — sometimes aggressively.

🔹 Could This Fast-Track Sudani?

MarkZ adds:

“They may force the issue and force the Kurdistan region and this will pretty much sign Sudani up for Prime Minister… imo… Things are moving.”

If Parliament is pushed to consolidate votes quickly:

  • Political compromise could accelerate

  • Kurdistan factions may face pressure to align

  • Sudani’s confirmation could be secured

  • Government formation could finalize rapidly

Political stability is widely viewed as a key ingredient for:

  • Budget implementation

  • Oil revenue distribution

  • Economic reform

  • Currency policy adjustments

The faster leadership solidifies, the sooner economic mechanisms can activate.

💵 Still No Solid Bond News

MarkZ also addressed bond updates:

“Still no solid bond news.”

And then emphasized:

“When I tell you it’s quiet – it’s quiet.”

In speculative currency circles, bond movements are often watched as potential indicators of liquidity events.

Right now?

Silence.

🔍 Why “Quiet” May Matter

MarkZ reminds viewers:

“We were told long ago that when we got close to currency and bonds… we would see quiet and the world look like it was coming unglued… That’s what we are seeing. I hope that means we are there.”

This perspective suggests two concurrent patterns:

1️⃣ Public instability and global tension
2️⃣ Behind-the-scenes financial coordination

Historically, major financial shifts often occur during periods of:

  • Political distraction

  • Market uncertainty

  • Global volatility

  • Reduced public signaling

Silence can mean:

  • Nothing is happening

  • Or everything is being finalized

Interpretation depends on perspective.

🌍 “The World Looks Like It’s Coming Unglued”

MarkZ references broader global instability as a possible indicator.

Common global factors investors are watching:

  • Geopolitical tensions

  • Energy market volatility

  • Inflation pressures

  • Currency realignments

  • Central bank policy shifts

Periods of uncertainty sometimes precede structural financial transitions.

However, no official confirmation links current instability to a specific currency event.

Why Is Iraq’s Parliament at Risk of Dissolution?

Iraq’s Parliament faces potential dissolution due to delays in confirming the President, which has exceeded constitutional deadlines. Without a confirmed President, the Prime Minister cannot be formally appointed.

What Did MarkZ Say About Bonds?

MarkZ stated there is currently no solid bond news and described the situation as extremely quiet. He suggested that silence may occur before major financial movements.

Could Sudani Become Prime Minister Soon?

If political factions consolidate and force a resolution, Sudani could be confirmed quickly as Prime Minister, allowing government formation to proceed.

📊 Political Pressure + Financial Silence = A Turning Point?

Two forces appear to be converging:

1️⃣ Internal Iraqi Political Pressure

  • Constitutional deadlines passed

  • Parliament dissolution threats

  • Consolidation moves underway

2️⃣ External Financial Quiet

  • No confirmed bond movement

  • Minimal currency chatter

  • Lack of public indicators

Speculative observers interpret this combination as potential pre-event calm.

But it remains speculative.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Has Parliament been officially dissolved?

No official confirmation at this time. It remains a political threat.

Q2: Is Sudani guaranteed to become Prime Minister?

No. MarkZ offered this as his opinion based on consolidation dynamics.

Q3: Are bonds moving?

According to MarkZ, there is currently no solid bond news.

Q4: Does global instability confirm a currency event?

No. While some interpret instability as a precursor, no official financial authority has confirmed such a link.

Q5: Why is quiet significant?

In speculative investment communities, quiet periods are sometimes viewed as preparation phases before announcements.

📈 Final Analysis

Here’s what we objectively know:

✔ Iraq faces political pressure over constitutional deadlines
✔ Parliament dissolution has been mentioned
✔ Sudani may benefit from forced consolidation
✔ Bond markets remain publicly quiet
✔ No confirmed currency event has been announced

MarkZ’s perspective:

“Things are moving.”

But movement does not equal confirmation.

Political stabilization inside Iraq would remove a major barrier to broader economic reform. Whether that connects directly to bonds or currency shifts remains unverified.

For now, observers are watching two indicators closely:

  • Government formation

  • Bond activity

And both remain at critical stages.

[via PDK]   Comment:  Iraq headline: ”State of Law threatens to dissolve parliament over stalled Presidential vote” 

 MarkZ:  Yup. The move is now to consolidate and force because they have passed constitutional deadlines. They may force the issue and force the Kurdistan region and this will pretty much sign Sudani up for Prime Minister…imo…Things are moving.

still no solid bond news.

AL-ABADI SUGGESTS TO AL-MALIKI THAT HE WITHDRAW AFTER BEING TASKED WITH FORMING A GOVERNMENT, SO AS NOT TO GIVE THE AMERICANS CREDIT

 AL-ABADI SUGGESTS TO AL-MALIKI THAT HE WITHDRAW AFTER BEING TASKED WITH FORMING A GOVERNMENT, SO AS NOT TO GIVE THE AMERICANS CREDIT.

The Victory Coalition, led by Haider al-Abadi, suggested on Sunday to Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, that he proceed with his candidacy for the position of Prime Minister, and withdraw after being assigned by the President of the Republic, in order to preserve sovereignty and not have his withdrawal considered a response to the American side, since the withdrawal will come after the assignment.

Ibrahim al-Sultani, a member of the Victory Coalition, stated in an interview with Al-Ahd TV, that “when the American position (Trump’s tweet) was issued, I am sure that Mr. Maliki, with his exceptional political mind, has an idea of ​​what will happen if he insists on proceeding with the nomination process.”

He added, “As a citizen, I say that in order to preserve sovereignty, we should proceed with Mr. Maliki by assigning him after he is named President of the Republic, and then Mr. Maliki should influence himself to withdraw, or the coordination framework should begin to reconsider so that matters come out within the framework of preserving sovereignty and also preserving the coordination framework.”

Mnt Goat Update: Iraq’s Political Deadlock, Dollar-to-Dinar Shift & Signs of a Possible Reinstatement?

 Iraq stands at a critical crossroads — politically and economically.

According to Mnt Goat, Iraq is still facing a political deadlock following the November 2025 election cycle. At the same time, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has made a bold monetary move that could significantly impact the dinar’s future.

Two powerful developments are unfolding simultaneously:

  1. Constitutional deadlines tied to government formation

  2. The CBI’s decision to shift contractor payments from U.S. dollars to Iraqi dinars

Let’s examine what this could mean.

🏛️ Iraq’s Political Deadlock: Constitutional Deadlines at Stake

Mnt Goat reports that:

Why This Matters

Iraq cannot fully stabilize economically without:

  • A seated president

  • A confirmed prime minister

  • A fully formed government

Political stability is a prerequisite for:

  • International confidence

  • Foreign investment

  • Monetary reform implementation

  • Currency policy transitions

If Parliament meets deadlines this week, it could remove a major obstacle to broader financial reform.

💱 “From Dollar to Dinar” – A Major CBI Policy Shift

Article:
“From Dollar to Dinar… Exchange Rate Policy Confuses Oil Companies and Threatens Their Employees!”

The Central Bank of Iraq has directed that payments to contractors working with oil companies be converted from U.S. dollars to Iraqi dinars at the official rate.

When Mnt Goat learned of this, she reacted strongly:

“WOW! WOW! and WOW! The CBI finally did it!”

Why such excitement?

Because this represents a structural shift away from dollar dependence.

🛢️ Why Ending Dollar Payments Is So Significant

For years, U.S. dollars have circulated heavily within Iraq’s economy. This created:

  • A parallel (black) market

  • Exchange rate distortion

  • Speculation pressure

  • Leakage of hard currency

Dollars entering the local market often:

  • Flowed into the black market

  • Increased demand outside official channels

  • Weakened the CBI’s control over the exchange rate

The Core Question

How can the CBI control the official dinar rate if dollars continuously leak into parallel markets?

The answer:
Close the loopholes.

This new directive is designed to do exactly that.

🔐 ASYCUDA + Dollar-to-Dinar Shift = Two Major Reform Moves

Mnt Goat highlights two key reforms working together:

1️⃣ Full Implementation of the ASYCUDA System

ASYCUDA modernizes customs processing and trade transparency.

This helps:

  • Track imports accurately

  • Reduce corruption

  • Prevent illegal currency flows

  • Align Iraq with global trade standards

2️⃣ Paying Contractors in Dinars

By requiring dinar payments:

  • Dollar leakage decreases

  • Black market pressure reduces

  • Demand for dinars increases

  • Official rate authority strengthens

Together, these are structural reforms — not cosmetic ones.

⚠️ Economic Concerns from Oil Contractors

However, not everyone is celebrating.

Economic expert Nabil al-Marsoumi stated:

“More than 200 Iraqi companies contracted with oil licensing companies, employing over 50,000 Iraqi workers, are threatened with significant financial losses and layoffs due to the Central Bank’s directive to disburse their payments in dinars at the official rate—even though their contracts and expenses are denominated in dollars.”

This reveals a serious tension:

  • Contracts are priced in dollars.

  • Expenses are dollar-based.

  • Payments are now being made in dinars at the official rate.

If the official rate does not reflect real market value, companies face losses.

🤔 Could This Signal a Dinar Reinstatement?

Mnt Goat raises an important possibility:

If the dinar were to become internationally recognized at a stronger rate, the contractor problem could disappear.

Why?

Because:

  • A stronger, internationally tradable dinar would offset conversion discrepancies.

  • Companies would not face exchange losses.

  • The currency would stabilize across domestic and international markets.

This leads to speculation:

Is the CBI making this move now because it anticipates a broader currency reform?

🔍 Featured Snippet Section (Optimized for Google Discover)

Why Is Iraq Moving From Dollar to Dinar Payments?

The Central Bank of Iraq is requiring contractors to receive payments in dinars instead of U.S. dollars to reduce black market currency activity and strengthen control over the official exchange rate.

What Is the Parallel Market in Iraq?

The parallel market refers to unofficial currency trading channels where dollars circulate outside central bank control, influencing exchange rates and creating instability.

Could This Lead to a Dinar Reinstatement?

Some analysts suggest that reducing dollar dependency and increasing dinar usage could be foundational steps toward currency reform or international reinstatement.

📊 Key Economic Implications

✔ Increased demand for Iraqi dinars
✔ Reduced dollar leakage
✔ Stronger central bank exchange control
✔ Pressure on contractors under current rate
✔ Structural reform alignment

The shift is systemic — not temporary.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Why were dollars a problem?

Dollars often entered the black market, weakening the CBI’s control over the official exchange rate.

Q2: What is ASYCUDA?

A global customs automation system designed to modernize trade and increase transparency.

Q3: Are oil companies at risk?

Yes. Companies with dollar-denominated contracts could face losses under current conversion rules.

Q4: Does this confirm a reinstatement?

No official confirmation exists. However, the policy shift aligns with structural reform principles.

Q5: Why now?

The timing coincides with political formation deadlines and broader economic restructuring.

🏛️ Political Stability + Monetary Reform = The Bigger Picture

Iraq’s situation involves two moving parts:

  1. Government formation under constitutional deadlines

  2. Monetary restructuring to eliminate dollar dependency

If the presidency and prime minister are confirmed this week, Iraq could:

  • Unlock stalled legislation

  • Accelerate economic reforms

  • Strengthen investor confidence

  • Advance currency normalization

📈 Final Analysis

The CBI’s move from dollar to dinar payments may represent:

  • A decisive strike against the parallel market

  • An assertion of monetary sovereignty

  • Preparation for broader currency reform

Whether this leads to reinstatement remains unconfirmed.

But one thing is clear:

Iraq is tightening control of its national currency — and that is a foundational step in any serious monetary transition.

 Iraq still faces a deadlock from the Nov 2025 election cycle. It is said that Kurdistan has presented their candidate for president to Parliament for confirmation this week. Also it is said that the confirmation of the prime minister candidate will also be presented this week following the seating of the new president. It is all scheduled for this week. Constitutional deadlines are at stake.

Article:  “FROM DOLLAR TO DINAR… EXCHANGE RATE POLICY CONFUSES OIL COMPANIES AND THREATENS THEIR EMPLOYEES!” 

 In this news we learn that The Central Bank of Iraq’s decision to convert payments to contractors working with oil companies from US dollars to Iraqi dinars....When I learned of this news I said WOW! WOW! and WOW!. The CBI finally did it! ...

The CBI is essentially creating the change over from the dollar to the dinar in payments now even to outside companies. Remember the national currency of Iraq is the dinar not dollars and the dollars have been the problem all along as these dollars get into the parallel market and shift the market to influence the price of the dinar...

How can the CBI ever get control of the official rate of the dinar unless they end these holes to which the dollar was passing through to the black market. So, along with the full implementation of the ASYCUDA system we see two major moves to sew up the parallel market. 

  Economic expert Nabil al-Marsoumi stated in a tweet that “more than 200 Iraqi companies contracted with oil licensing companies, employing over 50,000 Iraqi workers, are threatened with significant financial losses and layoffs due to the Central Bank’s directive to disburse their payments in dinars at the official rate—even though their contracts  and expenses are denominated in dollars.”

  Can this also mean that a reinstatement of the dinar is coming soon? Could this be the motive too for the CBI making this move now…if the dinar does go international this problem with the contractors will just go away.

AL-MALIKI MANEUVERS: “AN HONORABLE RETIREMENT” AND RESTORING THE GOLDEN AGE OF “DA’WA”. THROWING THE BALL INTO THE “FRAMEWORK’S” COURT… AND WASHINGTON BRANDISHES THE OIL FILE

 AL-MALIKI MANEUVERS: “AN HONORABLE RETIREMENT” AND RESTORING THE GOLDEN AGE OF “DA’WA”. THROWING THE BALL INTO THE “FRAMEWORK’S” COURT… AND WASHINGTON BRANDISHES THE OIL FILE.

Nouri al-Maliki, the candidate for the next prime minister, has thrown the ball into the court of the “Coordination Framework” regarding the decision to replace him, just hours before a meeting described as crucial to resolving the crisis surrounding the selection of the new prime minister.It appears that Maliki has shifted his candidacy back to the Shiite alliance, at a time when data from the “Framework” indicates that two-thirds of its constituent groups, according to the majority definition within the alliance, still support the leader of the State of Law Coalition. This makes “withdrawal” the easiest way to end his candidacy.

Until recently, Maliki was clinging to the position, which he acquired as a result of what was described as a “sudden development”—one that he said personally surprised him—related to the stance of his political rival, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the outgoing prime minister.At the time of writing, the forces within the “Coordination Framework” were preparing to hold a meeting Wednesday evening, which sources told Al-Mada was expected to be “decisive,” either to proceed with Maliki as a candidate or to move towards removing and replacing him.However, informed political sources believe that Maliki will attempt during this meeting to obtain renewed confirmation that he is the “sole candidate,” given the difficulty of his supporters within the coalition backing down.

Simultaneously, Maliki’s nomination is facing increasing external and internal pressure. Washington is strongly pushing for his replacement, threatening to cut aid to Iraq, while the factions of Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Hikma Movement, and Qais al-Khazali, leader of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, reject Maliki’s appointment as prime minister.In his first media appearance after being nominated, Maliki affirmed that he is “committed to this nomination until the end,” stating that “only the Coordination Framework will decide whether I continue or not, and it will decide on the alternative.”

It is worth noting that the Coordination Framework voted for Maliki for the first time since its establishment nearly five years ago, with a majority, amidst divisions within the coalition, and there have been no indications so far of a change in this majority’s position.Within Shia circles, there is a prevailing opinion that Sudani’s withdrawal from the race in favor of Maliki was a “political entrapment,” given that the State of Law leader is rejected by several internal and external parties.According to former MP Mishaan al-Jubouri, “Sudani withdrew after hearing from Savia, Trump’s envoy to Baghdad, who is the subject of much controversy, that Maliki would not succeed.”Conversely, Maliki, according to political sources, is relying on the position of former US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who informed him that he was “acceptable in Washington.”

FRANK26 Bank Stories 2026: Wells Fargo, Bank of America & Iraqi Dinar Exchange Readiness

In the latest update, FRANK26 highlights what he calls “Golden Nuggets” — firsthand bank stories suggesting financial institutions may be preparing for significant foreign currency transactions.

These stories focus on interactions with:

  • Wells Fargo (Atlanta, Georgia)

  • Bank of America

  • Merrill Lynch Wealth Management (Oklahoma)

The key theme?

Banks appear informed, prepared, and professionally responsive when discussions involve foreign currency — specifically the Iraqi dinar.

Let’s break down the details.

🏦 What Are “Bank Stories” and Why Do They Matter?

According to FRANK26, “bank stories” are real-world interactions between investors and banking professionals that may indicate internal awareness of potential high-value transactions.

He describes these moments as “Golden Nuggets” because:

  • Bank personnel are no longer dismissive

  • Accounts are being reviewed and prepared

  • Wealth managers are engaging quickly

  • Conversations are professional and informed

Rather than skepticism, investors are reporting readiness.

📍 Story 1: Wells Fargo – Atlanta, Georgia

A family member physically visited a Wells Fargo branch in Atlanta to confirm her account was properly structured to receive funds related to a speculative foreign currency exchange.

Key Points:

Strategic Takeaway:

Opening accounts at institutions that handle foreign currency exchange services may streamline future transactions.

Preparation appears to be proactive rather than reactive.

📍 Story 2: Bank of America & Merrill Lynch – Oklahoma

The second story involves “Mr. C,” who had a multi-stage interaction with Bank of America and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.

Timeline of Events

DateEvent
May 2024Mr. C informs his Bank of America banker of an expected inheritance (1–2 years). Introduced to Merrill Lynch wealth manager.
February 10, 2026Mr. C revisits the bank; discusses exchange fees; banker references foreign currencies including Iraqi dinar.
February 10, 2026Wealth manager contacts Mr. C within one hour, congratulates him, and offers assistance when ready.

What Makes This Story Significant?

1️⃣ Banker Awareness

The banker accessed detailed notes from the previous 2024 meeting — demonstrating active KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation.

The banker:

  • Asked about exchange fees

  • Referenced foreign currencies

  • Specifically acknowledged the Iraqi dinar

  • Maintained professionalism without skepticism

2️⃣ Rapid Wealth Management Engagement

Within one hour of the bank visit:

  • Merrill Lynch wealth manager called Mr. C

  • Offered congratulations

  • Instructed him to contact when ready to exchange funds

  • Demonstrated preparedness without requesting disclosure of amounts

This suggests internal coordination between retail banking and wealth management divisions.

🧠 Understanding KYC (Know Your Customer)

KYC is a regulatory banking process requiring institutions to:

  • Maintain detailed client records

  • Track financial intentions

  • Document asset discussions

  • Monitor compliance

This explains why the banker could quickly reference previous conversations from 2024.

Banks are legally required to understand:

  • Customer background

  • Investment interests

  • Anticipated financial events

This is not speculation — it is standard banking procedure.

💱 Are Banks Preparing for Foreign Currency Exchanges?

Both stories suggest:

  • Account readiness confirmations

  • Knowledge of exchange fee structures

  • Active wealth management positioning

  • Respectful acknowledgment of foreign currency holdings

Importantly:

No exchange rate was discussed.
No timeline was promised.
No amounts were disclosed.

The emphasis was strictly on readiness.

Are Banks Preparing for Iraqi Dinar Exchanges?

Recent firsthand bank stories shared by FRANK26 indicate that major institutions like Wells Fargo and Bank of America are professionally prepared to handle foreign currency exchanges. Bankers and wealth managers appear informed and responsive when discussing speculative foreign currency holdings.

What Is a Bank Story?

A bank story refers to a personal account of an investor interacting with a banker or wealth manager regarding currency exchange readiness. These stories are viewed as indicators of institutional awareness and preparation.

Why Is KYC Important in Currency Exchanges?

KYC (Know Your Customer) ensures banks maintain detailed documentation of client assets and financial intentions. This allows institutions to respond quickly and compliantly when large transactions occur.

❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Did the bankers confirm a revaluation date?

No. No dates or exchange rates were provided.

Q2: Were large amounts disclosed?

No. Clients did not reveal currency holdings amounts.

Q3: Why involve wealth managers?

Large currency exchanges often require structured financial planning, asset protection, and tax strategies.

Q4: Is opening a bank account necessary?

Having an established account at a bank that handles foreign currency exchange may reduce delays if large transactions occur.

Q5: Does this guarantee a currency event?

No. These stories indicate preparedness, not confirmation of a specific financial event.
