No turning back on the ASYCUDA... The government calls on traders to accept the new reality

 No turning back on the ASYCUDA... The government calls on traders to accept the new reality

 The Iraqi government called on Sunday (February 15, 2026) for those objecting to the implementation of the ASYCUDA system and customs tariffs to accept the new reality and comply with the law. Speaking on behalf of the government, spokesperson Bassem Al-Awadi explained that this system, which is implemented in more than 100 countries, will be applied in Iraq under international and UN supervision. He added that part of the ASYCUDA implementation is linked to Iraq's international obligations in the areas of combating money laundering, currency and goods smuggling, and international trade. He further stated that after 2003, Iraq relied on a process he termed "arbitrary" in managing customs and taxes, and that the time has come to change this process.

Al-Awadi stated in an interview with the official channel, which was followed by 964 Network , that “during the past few days with the beginnings of the implementation of the ASYCUDA system, there was some delay in the ports and many goods were delayed. According to the government’s estimates, some of them were delayed normally and others were delayed abnormally. When the government implemented the ASYCUDA system, this does not mean that there is a problem between it and the traders, but this step is an organizational process.”

Al-Awadi added, “In order to facilitate the movement of goods and make things easier for the private sector and Iraqi traders, the Iraqi government decided to zero out the government’s percentage of goods in warehouses - these warehouses are a joint facility between the ports and maritime transport, and also in cooperation with the private sector - so the government’s fees were zeroed out, and also 50% of the fees of the investing partner were zeroed out.”

Al-Awadi pointed out that “in light of the recent atmosphere that we all experienced, and the many rumors that try to make the government and the Iraqi state in general seem like something poised to harm the private sector or harm the people, and this is something that does not exist,” indicating that “the private sector and the merchant class are witnesses to the level of interaction that the government has undertaken, and in the end, only the truth will prevail.”

Al-Awadi pointed out that “trade from 2003 until today, especially with regard to taxes and customs, was more like arbitrariness. In simple terms, things were done in the form of a small container with 3 million and a large container with 4 million, regardless of what was inside the container. This was an old method that was imposed by the reality of the change after 2003, and it continued due to the repercussions and recent events.”

Al-Awadi stressed that “the ASYCUDA system is a United Nations system and was not brought by the Iraqi government. It is implemented in 102 countries around the world and is linked to the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCTAD). Part of the implementation of ASYCUDA is linked to Iraq’s international obligations in the areas of combating money laundering, smuggling of currency and goods, and international trade.”

The government spokesman stressed that “this system is not targeting a specific class, and the rumors that speak of a lack of liquidity in the Iraqi state and that is why it went towards this system are untrue. All of this is incorrect, because the process of trade, accounting and customs since 2003 was an arbitrary emergency process, and in the end, now this year or next year or after 3 years, everyone knows that these temporary matters must end and we must move towards the right things.”

Al-Awadi explained that “this new system (ASYCUDA) has been implemented, and we do not have (Quranic texts nor angels). It is an electronic automation system, operated by Iraqi teams under international and UN supervision.” He pointed out that “over time and after implementation, if there is any kind of injustice that may befall an economic class, group, or a specific type of goods, there are unions and federations of the Iraqi private sector and spokespeople for them, and the door of the Prime Minister and the Iraqi government is open to them, and it is possible to address any injustice that may affect merchants or other classes.”  link

ARIEL: 🚨 Iraqi Dinar Revaluation Strategy: What PM Al-Sudani, the Central Bank & Regional Tensions Reveal in 2026

 The conversation around the Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV) continues to intensify — especially following remarks made during an Atlantic Council broadcast in April 2024.

Now resurfacing in 2026 investment discussions, those statements from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudaniare being re-examined by dinar investors worldwide.

Let’s separate fact from interpretation — and analyze what truly matters.

---

🎙️ The Key Statement from PM Al-Sudani

During a live event hosted by the Atlantic Council (April 19, 2024), the Prime Minister was asked directly:

Is the Iraqi government thinking of revaluing the dinar due to market conditions?

His response emphasized:

• Currency policy is dictated by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).

• The government abides by the Central Bank’s decisions.

• Iraq is in its “best status” economically.

• Banking reforms are underway.

• Reforms are expected to “raise the level of the value of the Iraqi dinar.”

🔎 What Is the Main Takeaway?

The most important sentence:

“This is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar.”

However — this must be understood carefully.

He did not announce:

• An RV date

• A rate target

• An immediate adjustment

He referenced banking reforms, which typically strengthen a currency gradually over time through:

• Improved reserves

• Stronger banking compliance

• Reduced dollar leakage

• Monetary discipline

---

🏦 Who Controls the Rate Change?

The answer is clear:

👉 The Central Bank of Iraq.

Under Iraqi law, the CBI independently controls:

• Exchange rate policy

• Foreign reserves

• Monetary instruments

• Currency redenomination plans

No Prime Minister “pulls the trigger” on a rate change. The Central Bank executes policy based on economic fundamentals.

---

🪙 Iraq’s Gold Reserves & Monetary Strength

Iraq’s gold holdings have increased significantly in recent years, strengthening reserve backing.

Gold accumulation typically signals:

• Hedging against dollar volatility

• Long-term monetary stabilization

• Reserve diversification

However, gold reserves alone do not automatically equal a $3+ exchange rate. Exchange rates reflect broader macroeconomic realities.

---

💻 The Digital Dinar & Blockchain Discussion

There has been growing discussion about Iraq exploring:

• Digital payment systems

• Electronic banking reforms

• Potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) frameworks

Many countries are modernizing financial systems — this is global, not unique to Iraq.

A digital dinar would likely:

• Improve transparency

• Reduce corruption

• Limit black-market currency trading

• Strengthen monetary oversight

But again — digitization ≠ automatic RV.

---

🌍 The Iran Factor: Does Regional Stability Matter?

Yes — regional stability always affects economic confidence.

The relationship between Iran and Iraq impacts:

• Energy exports

• Border trade

• Militia security risks

• Investor confidence

However, claims that regime change in Tehran is a required “trigger” for an RV remain speculative.

Economic reforms typically depend more on:

• Internal fiscal policy

• Oil revenues

  Inflation control

• Reserve stability

• International banking compliance

---

📊 The “Delete the Zeros” Project

The redenomination plan — often referred to as “deleting three zeros” — has been discussed by Iraqi officials for years.

This process would:

• Simplify accounting

• Reduce large denomination notes

• Modernize cash handling

• Potentially strengthen public confidence

But it is a structural currency reform — not necessarily a windfall overnight rate jump.

---

📌 Featured Snippet: Who Controls the Iraqi Dinar Rate?

The exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is controlled exclusively by the Central Bank of Iraq. While the Prime Minister supports economic reform, only the Central Bank has authority to adjust the official rate.

---

❓ Q&A for Iraqi Dinar Investors

Q1: Did Al-Sudani confirm a revaluation?

No. He confirmed banking reforms that could strengthen the currency over time — not an immediate RV event.

---

Q2: Is a gold-backed dinar confirmed?

Iraq holds gold reserves, but there is no official confirmation of a full gold-pegged currency.

---

Q3: Does Iran have to “fall” for the dinar to revalue?

There is no official evidence that regime change in Iran is a required trigger for Iraqi currency reform.

---

Q4: What actually supports a stronger dinar?

• Strong oil exports

• Controlled inflation

• Growing foreign reserves

• Stable security environment

• Transparent banking reforms

---

🧠 Important Reality Check for Investors

It’s easy to connect global events into a single “reset” narrative. But currency markets operate on:

• Macroeconomic fundamentals

• International trade balances

• Reserve strength

• Monetary policy credibility

Large overnight resets tied to secret IMF blueprints or fictional analogies (like The Blacklist’s Fulcrum) remain speculative interpretations — not confirmed policy.

---

📈 What Is Actually Moving Forward?

✔ Banking sector modernization
✔ Electronic transaction enforcement
✔ Reserve strengthening
✔ Anti-corruption measures
✔ Exchange rate management reforms

These are real, documented efforts.

Whether they culminate in a sudden revaluation or gradual appreciation remains unknown.

To Iraqi Dinar Investors: You Need To Read This

Blast From The Past

Atlantic Council | Front Page-Iraq’s Prime Minister on building a stronger relationship with the United States

Live Broadcast April 19 2024 at 2:30 PM ET

Question: Is the Iraqi government thinking of revaluing the value of Dinar due to the current circumstances in the market?

Or do you see it to stay the same?

Prime Minister Al Sudani’s Response:

This policy is actually dictated by the Central Bank. The government abides by the decision of the Central Bank. Iraq is in the best status we could be in. We have actually had an assessment which has given much trust to higher global parties. So we started reforms when it comes to the banking sector. We have spoken about this before, but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar. There is a consistent policy the Central Bank is using when it comes to investments and how they invest the money for our own reserves here in Iraq.

Did You See The Main Sentence?

“We have spoken about this before, but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar.” End Quote

What did you learn here?

Who is in charge of the rate change?

Who will ultimately pull the trigger?

What is currently happening with the USD?

What is currently happening with silver?

What is currently happening with the digital currency in Iraq?

What is currently happening with RLUSD?

What is currently happening with Iran?

All of these things are bringing you the revaluation in their respective fields.

Ariel : Iran is Important for the Currency Revaluation

Iran Is Important For The Currency Revaluation: Removing Them Is The Trigger Point

Iraq’s Gold-Backed Digital Dinar and the Currency Revaluation

Iran’s grip prevents Iraq’s economic sovereignty. A revalued Iraqi Dinar, pegged to gold reserves (Iraq’s holdings surged to 145 tons by October 2025, Central Bank of Iraq, Baghdad), requires regional calm. Without it, hyperinflation and black-market chaos persist.

Investment strategy consultation

The Plan: A digital dinar system, integrated with blockchain for transparency, backed by oil revenues and gold. This isn’t public knowledge – it’s buried in classified IMF consultations (IMF Country Report No. 25/183, June 11, 2025) pushing for redenomination (deleting three zeros) to streamline transactions and attract foreign investment.

Why Iran Must Fall:

Iranian proxies siphon billions from Iraq’s oil (fifth-largest reserves globally, Basra fields) via smuggling networks, raking in $1 billion annually (Reuters, December 3, 2024). This funds terror, not reconstruction.

Regime change in Tehran clears the path: no more proxy attacks on pipelines, stable exchange rates (current IQD at 1,310 to USD, targeted reset to pre-1991 levels around 3 IQD per USD).

The “new financial system” – a gold-standard digital network – hinges on this, enabling seamless trade across a pacified Middle East.

Think about this. Deepstate blueprints, akin to the Fulcrum in Blacklist Season 2 – a device holding all secrets – outline this as part of a broader reset.

Iraq’s Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq (Baghdad) confirmed in October 2025 the “zero removal” project advances, but off-record memos tie it to U.S.-backed stabilization post-Iran conflict.

Without peace, no dinar RV; with it, trillions in locked value unleash.
