🚨🇮🇶 ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY: SILENCE OVER IRAQ’S “CURRENCY CHANGE” IS FUELING MARKET CONFUSION 💵📉
📢 The Economic Observatory of Iraq is calling for immediate clarification regarding recent statements about a possible change to Iraq’s national currency.
⚠️ The organization criticized what it described as conflicting government messaging, particularly because sensitive monetary decisions are reportedly being discussed through entities that are not the competent monetary authorities.
🏦 WHERE IS THE CBI?
The Observatory pointed to the continued silence of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the Ministry of Finance.
📌 According to the statement, decisions involving the national currency should be communicated through:
🏦 The Central Bank of Iraq
💰 The Ministry of Finance
📢 Official government announcements
Instead, scattered statements are creating uncertainty and leaving room for rumors, speculation and market disruption.
💰 The Ministry of Finance
📢 Official government announcements
💵 WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
The Economic Observatory warned that uncertainty surrounding the currency could:
⚠️ Increase market anxiety
💱 Encourage greater demand for foreign currencies
🥇 Increase demand for gold
📉 Put additional pressure on the Iraqi dinar
🏦 Reduce public confidence in the national currency
The organization emphasized that unclear communication could ultimately affect economic security and citizens' savings.
💱 Encourage greater demand for foreign currencies
🥇 Increase demand for gold
📉 Put additional pressure on the Iraqi dinar
🏦 Reduce public confidence in the national currency
📢 WHAT DOES THE OBSERVATORY WANT?
The Economic Observatory is calling on the CBI and Ministry of Finance to issue an official statement explaining:
🔹 Whether a currency change has actually been approved
🔹 The reasons behind the proposed change
🔹 How implementation would work
🔹 The expected timetable
🔹 How citizens' savings would be protected
🔹 What measures would be taken to maintain market stability
👀 The key takeaway: Until Iraq's competent monetary authorities provide an official explanation, the recent statements about changing the currency remain surrounded by uncertainty.
🇮🇶 For the market, official confirmation from the CBI and Ministry of Finance could be far more important than statements from other government entities.

ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY: GOVERNMENT SILENCE REGARDING “CURRENCY CHANGE” IS CONFUSING THE IRAQI DINAR MARKET
On Sunday, the Economic Observatory of Iraq criticized the confusion in the government’s discourse, which is represented in announcing sensitive economic and monetary decisions, such as changing the currency, through unqualified entities, amid the silence of the Central Bank of Iraq and the Ministry of Financ e.
The observatory stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that “managing a file as large as the national currency through scattered statements, instead of clear official conferences and statements issued by the competent monetary and financial authorities, reflects a weakness in government coordination,” explaining that “such confusion opens the door to rumors, speculation, market disruption, and harm to citizens and the country.”
The observatory warned that “this ambiguity affects the economic security of citizens and may affect their confidence in the national currency and increase the demand for foreign currencies and gold, thus exacerbating the state of anxiety in the market.”
Eco Iraq held the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance “responsible for clarifying the truth about the decision and any confusion in the Iraqi market resulting from their silence,” demanding that the competent authorities “issue an official statement explaining the reasons for changing the currency, the implementation mechanisms, the timetable, and guarantees to protect citizens’ savings and market stability.”
