"REMOVING ZEROS TO WITHDRAW LOOTED FUNDS AND ADDRESS SALARY
ISSUES... EXPERTS WARN AGAINST A "MAKEOVER".
Economic and financial experts are discussing proposals to solve the liquidity crisis and salary delays plaguing Iraq, most notably changing the currency and removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar, or introducing additional denominations that correspond to the noticeable expansion in the size of
the circulating money supply. He continues: "The biggest challenge in such measures is managing the transitional phase, especially with regard to psychological expectations in the market and the possibility of some traders and speculators exploiting the transition period to raise prices under various pretexts, which may lead to inflationary pressures and dissipate the expected administrative benefits of the process of removing zeros.
He stressed that the success of any step in this direction requires the existence of solid monetary and economic stability before its implementation, and not considering it as a means to achieve that stability"

๐ฎ๐ถ๐ต STABILITY FIRST: IRAQ’S DELETE ZEROS DEBATE
๐ฐ WHAT THE NEWS IS SAYING:
Economic and financial experts in Iraq are discussing proposals to address the country’s liquidity crisis, salary payment delays, and the noticeable expansion of the money supply.
Among the proposals being discussed are changing the currency structure, removing zeros from the Iraqi dinar, or introducing additional denominations that better correspond to the amount of currency currently circulating. ๐ต๐
However, experts are warning that the biggest challenge would not necessarily be the reform itself, but managing the transition period.
⚠️ During the transition, psychological expectations in the market could become a major factor. Traders, merchants, or speculators could potentially use the currency change as an excuse to increase prices, creating additional inflationary pressure.
If that happens, some of the expected administrative benefits of removing zeros could be weakened or even lost.
The experts therefore emphasize that any reform of this magnitude would require strong monetary and economic stability BEFORE implementation.
๐ THE ANALYSIS:
This is the part I believe is extremely important.
Removing zeros does not automatically create economic stability. It is a structural monetary measure that can simplify denominations and the handling of money, but it cannot, by itself, fix inflation, liquidity problems, government finances, weak institutions, or other underlying economic issues.
A successful implementation would require Iraq to have a solid foundation:
๐ฆ Stronger banking and financial infrastructure
๐ง Better liquidity management
๐ Greater control over inflation and prices
๐ฐ Improved government revenue collection
๐ A stronger and more diversified economy
๐ค Greater confidence in Iraq’s financial system
The transition would also need to be carefully managed so that businesses, banks, consumers, contracts, accounting systems, and prices all adjust properly.
And this is exactly why the experts' warning matters: the reform should not be used as the mechanism to create stability. Stability should exist first so the reform can work successfully.
๐ฎ๐ถ MY OPINION:
As I have always said—and as these recent reports continue to reinforce—STABILITY MUST COME FIRST!
Whether Iraq ultimately moves forward with DELETE ZEROS, introduces new denominations, or eventually makes a significant change to the dinar’s exchange rate, the economic foundation has to be prepared beforehand.
For those of us watching the possibility of an RV, this distinction is extremely important. ๐๐ต
The fact that experts are openly discussing currency restructuring is certainly worth watching, but this report does NOT confirm an RV or announce a new exchange rate.
What it does show is that Iraq continues to confront the monetary issues that would have to be addressed before any major currency transformation could function effectively inside the country.
The goal should be simple: build the stability first, then execute the reform correctly—without allowing inflation, speculation, or rising costs to undermine it. ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ช๐ฅ
The foundation comes first. The transformation comes after. ๐ต๐๐ฎ๐ถ
