THE EXCHANGE RATE IN IRAQ IS THE FIRST VICTIM OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “ASYCUDA” CUSTOMS AUDIT SYSTEM

 With the start of the implementation of the European audit system “ASYCUDA” in Iraq, the exchange rate of the dollar rose within the parallel market, which economists considered a normal matter in the first stage of implementation. Since the beginning of December, Iraqi markets have witnessed a gradual rise in the exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel market, reaching 1430 dinars after a period of stability in which the dollar reached less than 1390 dinars.

This continuous increase coincides with the entry into full implementation of the European audit system “SKODA” at customs ports, a system that relies on digital tracking and linking customs data with banks, which reduces reduced invoices and non-conforming documents.

Skoda advanced connectivity system

Skoda represents a digital inspection system developed in Europe, a transition from a customs model based on the traditional document to a system that links customs data with banks and ports. Once the system is operational, it is no longer possible to pass goods based on low-value invoices or non-conforming documents. The system fixes the true price of goods according to international databases, matches certificates of origin with transfer movements, and prevents any transaction in which financing transparency is not available.

Economic experts believe that this transitional phase, although a step towards greater transparency and discipline, naturally generates temporary pressures on the market and raises the actual demand for the dollar, especially with the increasing talk about the possibility of tightening banking compliance rules related to foreign transfers.

Dollar exchange rate rise

Financial and banking expert Mahmoud Dagher said that the rise in the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market came after the announcement of the implementation of the ASYCUDA customs system starting from December 1st.

He explained that the current application includes only four goods, namely gold and jewelry, mobile phones, cars and refrigeration equipment, and that the mechanism will be extended to include all goods at the beginning of 2026.

Dagher added that the government may face challenges in implementing the system within the border crossings in northern Iraq, as they do not rely on Skoda, which will hinder the ability of traders there to conduct financial transfers officially, making the market watchful for any reactions that may come during the next stage.

He added that this system created a “temporary duplication” of fees between the old and new systems, which led to additional pressure on the market and short-term effects on the exchange rate.

On the other hand, economic researcher Ali Awad believes that the recent rise in the dollar exchange rate is a natural result of the transitional phase the country is going through with the full implementation of the European customs audit system “Skoda”.

He explained that the market is undergoing a comprehensive restructuring of import costs, which usually leads to a temporary increase in demand for the dollar before prices stabilize at new levels that demonstrate the ability of institutions to manage the transition and secure official channels that comply with the requirements of the new system.

Awad added that there are serious concerns being raised today about possible attempts to sabotage the program.

He pointed out that previous experiences have shown the ability of some influential parties to disrupt customs reform efforts and to thwart similar systems by circumventing procedures or hindering their implementation.

COFFEE WITH MARKZ: Iraqi Dinar RV Update: Quiet Moves, Global Tensions, and Why 2026 Could Be an Epic Year

Iraqi Dinar Revaluation Update: What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes?

As we enter 2026, the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) community continues to watch closely for signs of a long-anticipated Revaluation (RV). While many hoped for a dramatic January 1st announcement, seasoned observers like MarkZremind us that the most important financial shifts often happen quietly, without fanfare.

This latest recap captures key insights, member questions, global developments, and theories that may explain why things appear calm on the surface—but active underneath.

---

A Calm Start to 2026… or the Calm Before the Storm?

Community members expressed mixed emotions as the new year began:

• Hope for an RV on January 1st

• Frustration over Iraq’s continued 1310 exchange rate

• Curiosity about whether Iraq will go international quietly

According to MarkZ, there is no cause for alarm.

“It’s all good and lots of things are happening. It’s going to be an epic year.”

Rather than a public announcement, MarkZ believes Iraq may flip the switch quietly, with confirmation appearing days later in the markets.

---

Why a Quiet RV Makes Sense

One of the most important insights from MarkZ:

“They are going to try to keep this as quiet as they can.”

Why would Iraq do this?

• To avoid speculation and market chaos

• To protect liquidity

• To align with global financial restructuring

• To minimize political pressure

Those “plugged in”—banks, institutions, and currency holders—may notice first, while the public sees confirmation later.

---

Global Focus on Iran: A Possible Delay or Strategic Alignment?

Another major theme is Iran’s instability, which may be influencing timing.

Key developments mentioned:

• Protests escalating in Iran

• Reports of government violence

• Protesters chanting for the Prince and waving the lion and sun flag

• Statements like “Trump threatens intervention in Iran to protect protestors”

MarkZ Theory:

Iraq (and possibly Venezuela) may be waiting briefly to align currency actions with regional or global shifts involving Iran.

This could explain why we are not already at the banks—yet.

---

Iraqi Dinar Strengthening at Year End

Despite the silence, positive indicators continue to emerge:

“Iraqi dinar strengthens at year end amid reduced market activity and holiday calm.”

This suggests:

• Improved confidence

• Reduced volatility

• Controlled monetary positioning

All signs many believe are necessary before an RV or rate adjustment.

---

The Bond Silence: Bad News or Very Good News?

One of the most surprising points discussed was the complete silence on bonds.

MarkZ noted:

“No bond updates… which is really odd.”

Community interpretation:

• Silence could be positive

• Final stages often go quiet

• Non-disclosure before execution is common

Still, MarkZ emphasized that confirmation would bring greater confidence.

---

Bank Signals & Currency Availability

Several members reported notable bank activity:

• PNC and Chase no longer selling Vietnamese Dong

• Credit unions beginning to handle foreign currencies

• Increased access to IQD purchases

These developments may indicate:

• Internal policy changes

• Preparation for re-pricing

• Reduced retail exposure ahead of shifts

---

QFS & Global Currency Reset Rumors

Additional rumors discussed:

• QFS (Quantum Financial System) implementation progressing

• Multiple countries allegedly releasing new currencies on January 1st

• Coordinated international timing rather than isolated action

While unconfirmed, many see these as supporting signals, not guarantees.

---

Q&A – Community’s Most Asked Questions

Is Iraq still using the 1310 rate?

Yes, officially—but strengthening indicators suggest change may be pending.

Will the RV be announced publicly?

Likely after the fact, not before.

Could Iran delay Iraq’s RV?

Possibly, but only briefly and strategically.

Is bond silence good or bad?

Historically, silence can mean finalization.

Are banks preparing behind the scenes?

Many signs point to yes.

Featured Snippet: Key Takeaway

The Iraqi Dinar RV may not arrive with fireworks—but with quiet precision. Strengthening indicators, global alignment, and institutional preparation suggest the process is closer than ever, even if confirmation comes later.

Final Thoughts: Why Patience Still Matters

While expectations ran high for January 1st, experienced voices remind us that real financial resets don’t follow calendars—they follow conditions.

If 2025 was the setup, 2026 may be the execution.

As MarkZ said:

“It’s going to be an epic year.”
