Frank26: "TO PROTECT MONETARY & FINANCIAL STABILITY"........F26

Central Bank of Iraq: Reserves cover 12 months of imports

The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Sunday that its reserves cover 12 months of imports, while indicating that it possesses "financial buffers".

In a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, the bank said, “Within the framework of its constitutional and legal responsibilities to protect monetary and financial stability and maintain the strength and integrity of the banking system in Iraq, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq held an extraordinary session to follow up on current economic and financial developments, review the most prominent macroeconomic indicators, and assess future expectations in light of local and international developments and the challenges or opportunities they may present to the national economy.”

He added that "during the meeting, the council conducted a comprehensive assessment of the monetary and financial market conditions, including an analysis of liquidity levels in the banking system, developments in the money supply, as well as a review of the central bank's foreign currency needs."

He explained: “The Council also reviewed financial stability indicators and the performance of the banking sector, in addition to monitoring foreign trade and payment flows, while assessing potential risks associated with regional and international economic variables and their potential repercussions on the Iraqi economy.”

He added, “The Council also discussed a number of potential economic and financial scenarios for the next stage, focusing on how to enhance the flexibility of monetary policy and the sustainability of financial stability, and ensure the banking system’s ability to respond efficiently to the requirements of economic activity.”

He continued: In this context, it is necessary to clarify that the Central Bank’s reserves cover about 12 months of imports, and the Council affirms that the bank has full readiness and effective tools to deal with various developments, especially with its comfortable reserve balance, and that it is prepared to take action.

He pointed out that “appropriate measures at the right time to ensure the stability of monetary and financial markets and enhance confidence in the banking sector.

Based on this comprehensive assessment, the Council concluded the following: The strength of foreign reserves and financial buffers: The Central Bank of Iraq enjoys a strong level of financial buffers and comfortable foreign reserves at safe levels, which provides an important margin of flexibility in managing monetary policy and confronting any potential economic shocks or fluctuations, and contributes to enhancing monetary stability and maintaining the strength of the financial system in the country.”

He added: “Securing salaries and basic expenses: The Council discussed a number of alternatives to ensure the securing of salaries and basic expenses during the coming months, in a way that guarantees the regular implementation of the state’s financial obligations, and contributes to supporting the economic and living stability of citizens, as well as enhancing confidence in the state’s financial and monetary policies, and the continuation of economic activity in a normal manner.”

He pointed to “strengthening the liquidity of the banking system: The Council affirms the importance of the Central Bank continuing to support the liquidity of banks in order to ensure the stability of daily banking operations and the smooth flow of financial services provided to the public. This aims to enable banks to meet the needs of citizens and the private sector efficiently and regularly. The Central Bank seeks to enhance the role of the banking sector in supporting economic activity and financing various productive and service sectors.”

He concluded by saying, “Ensuring the smooth flow of external transfers: The Council stressed the importance of the continued smooth flow of external financial transfers to cover import operations and other international payments, thereby ensuring the stability of foreign trade and the availability of goods and services in the local market. This comes within the framework of supporting the private sector’s ability to meet market needs and maintain stable supply levels in local markets.” LINK

FIREFLY: Iraq Security Crisis: Drone Attacks, Regional Tensions, and What It Could Mean for the Dinar

Iraq Security Crisis: Drone Attacks, Regional Tensions, and What It Could Mean for the Dinar

Security concerns in Iraq have once again taken center stage as reports emerge of drone attacks and increasing regional instability. These developments are creating uncertainty on the ground while investors continue watching for signs related to the long-anticipated Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV).

Recent on-the-ground reports describe a tense environment with disruptions affecting businesses, foreign workers, and daily life across parts of the country.

Boots on the Ground: Reports From Inside Iraq

According to local reports shared by individuals inside Iraq, the security situation has become increasingly stressful.

One report described collateral damage affecting areas where American and foreign workers operate, including:

Hotels hosting international staff
Business districts
Oil refinery facilities

Many residents are responding cautiously.

Some reports indicate that

families are beginning to stockpile food and basic supplies in preparation for a potentially prolonged period of instability.

While these reports reflect the concerns of individuals on the ground, the overall situation can vary greatly from region to region.

Drone Activity and Rising Security Concerns

Additional reports describe drone activity targeting various regions, including:

Kurdistan in northern Iraq
Southern areas near Baghdad

Drone warfare has increasingly become a tool used by militias and regional actors throughout the Middle East. These systems can be inexpensive, difficult to detect, and capable of disrupting infrastructure.

The presence of drones near economic centers naturally raises concerns about:

Oil infrastructure
International investment
Transportation corridors
Worker safety

Security instability can affect investor confidence and financial markets, especially in developing economies.

Distinguishing Physical Security From Financial Stability

Despite the tensions, some analysts emphasize the importance of separating physical security events from financial system stability.

While drone attacks or regional tensions affect security conditions, Iraq’s banking reforms and monetary policy are driven primarily by economic factors such as:

Foreign reserves
Oil revenue
Monetary policy of the Central Bank of Iraq
International banking integration

Iraq has spent years modernizing its financial system to align with global banking standards, which many economists consider a key step toward long-term currency stability.

Iraq’s Banking Sector Reform

The Central Bank of Iraq has implemented several reforms in recent years, including:

Modernized electronic payment systems
Anti-money laundering compliance
Improved currency auction transparency
Strengthening foreign reserve management

These reforms are designed to stabilize the national currency and strengthen Iraq’s financial credibility on the international stage.

For currency watchers, these changes are often viewed as part of the foundation necessary for any potential exchange rate adjustment.

How Geopolitical Tensions Can Impact Currency Markets

Regional conflicts and geopolitical tensions can influence currencies in multiple ways:

Short-Term Effects

Market volatility
Capital flight
Investor caution

Long-Term Effects

Energy market shifts
New economic alliances
Infrastructure rebuilding and investment

Iraq’s economy remains deeply tied to oil exports and regional stability, making geopolitical developments especially important.

Investor Perspective: Patience and Uncertainty

For those following the Iraqi dinar speculation for years, the current environment highlights a recurring reality: global events can influence financial timelines.

Periods of instability often delay economic transitions because governments prioritize:

National security
Infrastructure protection
Economic continuity

At the same time, rebuilding and modernization efforts can sometimes accelerate economic reforms once stability improves.

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]

FIREFLY: We have collateral damage here in our country from where they were trying to strike American foreign workers in our hotels and in our businesses and also in our refineries. You got a lot of people there. It's very hectic. We've been told it's going to go on for a long time. Everybody is stockpiling food. That's the situation here.

FRANK: the war is a serious situation...I disagree when they tell you this campaign is going to last a very long time. Oh, hell no. But the time it's going to take will be a nightmare for you Iraqis...Trump knows exactly what he's doing...

OMAR: It's bad over here. Iran is shooting drones all over. The were doing it in Kurdistan now they're hitting in the southern parts of Baghdad. We are under security instability.

FRANK: Yes but that's different. Physical security we will take care of it. What I was talking about [security and stability] of your banks. I'm sorry about the drones. The drones are being reversed engineered. Hopefully in about 3 or 5 days those drones will no longer be a problem.
