🌟Positive Developments and Long‑Term Potential for the Iraqi Dinar
While there is no official announcement that the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) will suddenly jump to parity with the U.S. dollar, there are real economic developments that could support a stronger currency over time if they continue to progress. These are not “get rich quick” headlines, but real reasons for cautious optimism about the Iraqi economy and its monetary future:
📌 1. Iraq’s Economy Shows Signs of Stability Recent economic forecasts suggest that Iraq’s GDP is expected to grow moderately in the coming years, indicating a recovering economy. A stronger economy can help support a more stable currency environment in the long run.
📌 2. Strong Foreign Exchange Reserves Iraq’s foreign currency reserves — including revenues from oil exports — remain relatively strong. Having solid reserves allows the Central Bank of Iraq to support the dinar in times of market stress, which contributes to currency stability and confidence.
📌 3. Potential for Gradual Appreciation (Under the Right Conditions) Expert analyses outline scenarios where the dinar could strengthen modestly over time if Iraq successfully implements structural reforms, diversifies its economy, and reaches agreements with international partners like the IMF. This kind of gradual strengthening is more realistic than a dramatic overnight jump.
📌 4. Oil Revenue Growth Can Support the Economy Because Iraq’s economy depends heavily on oil, higher production levels and stable global oil prices can lead to increased revenue. Increased government income can help manage the economy more effectively — a positive factor for the dinar’s long-term prospects.
📌 5. Long‑Term Outlook Is Being Monitored by Professionals While “revaluation” rumors circulate online, reputable market forecasts focus on managed stability: the Central Bank using reserves and policy to keep the exchange rate stable, and possible modest strengthening if macroeconomic reforms deepen. This kind of improvement won’t make headlines overnight, but it reflects real economic levers that can gradually influence the dinar’s performance.
🌟 Stability matters more than sudden moves. A stable currency over time builds confidence. 🌟 Iraq’s reserves and oil revenues provide economic support. 🌟 Reforms and international cooperation could foster gradual strengthening. 🌟 Positive long-term trends are more meaningful than rumors of instant revaluation.
⚠️ Important: These developments are real economic factors, not speculative schemes. There is no official announcement that IQD will immediately reach 1:1 with USD — but there are conditions that could support long-term strengthening if Iraq continues to progress economically.
Between bonds and gold: An economic roadmap to protect Iraq’s funds from the shocks of regional conflict
Economic expert Mohammed Al-Hassani said on Tuesday that Iraq needs to reconsider the management of its foreign reserves, especially between US bonds and gold, in light of global economic fluctuations.
Al-Hassani told Shafaq News Agency that “US bonds remain an important liquidity tool and generate a steady return, but they are highly dependent on the decisions of the Federal Reserve and interest rates, which exposes the country’s holdings to the risk of devaluation if interest rates are raised.”
He added that “gold is a safe haven in times of crisis and inflation, and it preserves purchasing power, but it does not generate an annual return like bonds and does not solve the problem of daily liquidity for government spending or paying salaries.”
Al-Hassani pointed out that “the best strategy for Iraq lies in balancing the two, that is, keeping part of the reserves in US bonds to obtain liquidity and returns, and allocating part in gold to protect the reserves from economic or political risks.”
He stressed that this “step could help Iraq reduce its dependence on the dollar and protect its economy from any sudden fluctuations in global markets, while maintaining sufficient financial flexibility to support national projects and government spending.”
The war that broke out on February 28, 2026, between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other, caused an almost complete paralysis of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, the passage through which about 4.5% of total annual global trade passes, leading to a decline in navigation to very low levels.
As a result of the disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Iraqi oil production has declined sharply from 4.3 million barrels per day to 1.3 million barrels per day.
This decline has led to Iraqi exports falling to less than 800,000 barrels per day, and a loss of $128 million per day after oil production stopped, according to the “Eco Iraq” observatory. (LINK)

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday called on Iraqi authorities to curb armed groups and prevent attacks on diplomatic missions, which have repeatedly come under attack since the war between Iran, the United States, and Israel began on February 28.
In remarks on the sidelines of the European Union leaders' meeting in Brussels, Macron noted that recent contacts with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani reaffirm Paris’ support for Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
France, he stressed, is clearly requesting Iraq to address armed groups targeting French nationals and facilities, warning that such actions do not serve Iraq’s interests and risk undermining its security.
Last week, a two-drone strike targeted a joint base used by Kurdish Peshmerga forces and French troops in the Kurdish capital, wounding six French soldiers. No group claimed responsibility.

Iraq’s economic crisis is not just a question of oil dependence —it is a test of whether the political system built around that dependence can reform itself. As population growth accelerates, fiscal pressures deepen, and regional tensions threaten the stability of global energy flows, the country’s rentier model is colliding with demographic reality.
For decades, oil exports have funded salaries, subsidies, and state-led development, embedding a system where economic stability depends less on productivity than on revenue distribution. That model is now under strain. With oil generating income but limited employment, and a labor force expanding rapidly, analysts warn that Iraq faces an economic imbalance and a structural contradiction: a system designed to distribute wealth cannot sustainably absorb a growing workforce without fundamentally reshaping its relationship with the private sector.
Youth Surge Meets Rigid Economy
Iraq’s demographic trajectory is intensifying pressure on an already strained system. A 2024 International Monetary Fund (IMF) report estimates that the working-age population is growing by about 3.5% annually, adding more than 780,000 job seekers each year. With roughly 38% of Iraqis classified as youth and nearly 40% under the age of 15, demand for employment is set to rise for years.
Yet the structure of the economy limits its ability to respond. Oil contributes around 60% of GDP while employing less than 1% of the workforce, according to IMF data. Revenues from crude exports account for over 90% of government income and about 95% of exports, leaving public finances highly exposed to global price shifts.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that roughly 40% of Iraqis work in the public sector, either directly or indirectly dependent on government wages. This model has long functioned as a stabilizer, but it now risks becoming a constraint. With public wage bills approaching a quarter of GDP, fiscal space for investment is narrowing, while unemployment remains elevated at around 15% overall and nearly 30% among youth.
MP Ghaith Al-Kalabi from the Al-Asas Alliance linked these pressures directly to Iraq’s oil-dependent structure. “The foundation of the crisis Iraq is experiencing is the rentier economy based on oil prices… the country could collapse economically if everything is linked only to oil prices,” he told Shafaq News.
But the persistence of this model reflects more than economic inertia. Expanding public employment has historically served as a political tool to manage social pressures and maintain stability, making any shift toward a private-sector-led model not only economically necessary but politically sensitive.
Economists increasingly frame Iraq’s fiscal vulnerability as a structural outcome of this system. Economic expert Ahmed Abed Rabu described reliance on oil revenues to fund salaries and subsidies as inherently unstable. “The budget, salaries, subsidies and even service projects are all tied to the price of a barrel of oil,” he explained, noting that any sharp decline can rapidly turn surplus into deficit.
Such volatility leaves policymakers with limited options —borrowing or delaying payments— both of which reinforce long-term fragility. Yet reducing public spending, particularly wages, carries political risks in a system where state employment underpins social stability.
This dynamic exposes a core dilemma: while economic logic favors reducing the public payroll and redirecting spending toward productive investment, political incentives often favor maintaining or even expanding state employment. Past oil windfalls, as Al-Kalabi noted, were rarely converted into sustainable investments, reflecting short-term priorities over structural reform.
“Iraq cannot continue employing everyone in the public sector,” Abed Rabu said, pointing to rapid population growth. Still, transitioning away from that model requires more than economic planning —it demands political willingness to alter entrenched patterns of distribution and influence.

Reform Plans Under Scrutiny
Facing mounting pressure, the government has introduced a phased strategy to expand private-sector participation. Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Planning, said the plan aims to move from preparation to empowerment and eventually leadership by 2030, supported by a council chaired by the prime minister.
The strategy targets raising private-sector investment to 35% of total investment —estimated at 84 trillion dinars ($64 billion)— with a longer-term goal of reaching 50%. The sector currently contributes about 37% to GDP.
While these targets signal ambition, previous reform initiatives have struggled against persistent barriers, including regulatory complexity, weak financial systems, and competition from state-linked entities. Without addressing these structural constraints, Al-Kalabi warned that new strategies risk replicating past outcomes rather than transforming them.
Abed Rabu also highlighted sectors with growth potential —agriculture, manufacturing, petrochemicals, logistics, and the digital economy— but stressed that unlocking them requires more than policy frameworks. “These sectors need a stable business environment, effective financing, legal protection, and serious efforts to combat corruption and bureaucracy,” he said.

Infrastructure, Opportunity —And Limits
Economic expert Safwan Qusay argued that expanding the private sector offers a dual benefit: reducing pressure on public finances while generating employment and tax revenue. He linked reform efforts to broader infrastructure development, including projects such as the Grand Faw Port and transport networks, which could anchor industrial growth beyond oil.
“Iraq aims to increase prosperity… by creating jobs in the formal private sector and opening investment fields in tourism, industry, and agriculture,” Qusay told Shafaq News.
Yet infrastructure alone may not be sufficient. Even as large-scale projects advance, smaller enterprises —globally responsible for 60–70% of employment, according to the World Bank—remain constrained in Iraq by limited access to finance, regulatory hurdles, and uneven competition.
Qusay also pointed to the potential of redirecting spending. Shifting resources from unemployment support to productive investment, he suggested, could reduce reliance on annual assistance by around 14 trillion dinars ($10.7 billion). However, such reallocation would again require politically difficult trade-offs.
Breaking The Rentier Cycle
Despite growing consensus on the need for reform, state dominance, fragmented regulations, and bureaucratic inefficiencies continue to raise costs for private businesses. State-linked entities often retain advantages in contracts, credit, and licensing, crowding out independent firms.
Abed Rabu argued that meaningful transformation requires a deeper shift in the state’s role. Beyond diversification, Iraq must redefine the relationship between government, economy, and society. The rentier system has historically provided stability through income distribution, but demographic pressures are eroding its sustainability.
“A productive private sector offers the most viable path,” he said, warning that success depends on dismantling incentives that favor state dominance.
A Narrowing Window
Iraq now faces a set of diverging paths. Gradual reform —if accompanied by institutional change— could enable a controlled transition toward a more diversified economy. Partial reform may prolong the current model, sustaining stability but deepening long-term vulnerability. Failure to act, however, risks repeated fiscal shocks, rising unemployment, and mounting social pressure as demographic trends accelerate.
The challenge, analysts suggest, is to identify solutions and implement them within a system that has historically resisted change. “Without aligning political incentives with economic reform, Iraq’s rentier model may persist longer than its economic foundations can sustain.”
