OMAR: Alaq is saying, 'I've not said anything about changing the rate, that's all just on social media, it's in the media of Iraq, we still need stability and we're not going to risk the changing of the rate' says Alaq.
FRANK: If Alaq continues to insist there's no rate changing, then you can take this to the bank, he will be gone very soon. Mark my words.
OMAR: Alaq has made it clear...They will work with the government but he runs the CBI.
FRANK: He is delusional...The board of directors are the ones that run the CBI and they answer to the IMF...WB. They even work with the US. This man is definitely gone. Remember I told you that.
The budget is postponed… The continuation of salaries in the region depends on temporary mechanisms and monthly agreements
The budget has not yet been finalized, but the mechanism for disbursing salaries to employees of the Kurdistan Region continues according to the current arrangements, which depend on sending monthly data that includes lists of salaries and revenues.
Jamal Kojar, a member of the parliamentary finance committee, announced that the federal government has until next July to send the draft budget law to parliament, stressing that “until the budget law is approved, the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees will continue to be disbursed according to the current mechanism.”
Kujer said: “The Iraqi government can send the draft budget law to parliament as late as June and July without any legal problem arising, even though it should have been sent in October of last year under the Financial Management Law.”
According to the MP, the government could send a draft similar to the “Food Security Law” to Parliament to provide financial liquidity for the implementation of projects, as salaries and necessary expenses are currently secured according to the (1/12) principle of the Financial Management Law.
Regarding the financial entitlements of the Kurdistan Region, Kojer reassured that the process of sending salaries would not stop, adding: “The process of disbursing salaries to employees and recipients in the Kurdistan Region will continue with the same current mechanism until the budget law is approved.”
Currently, the Kurdistan Regional Government is required to send payroll lists, trial balances, and non-oil revenues monthly to Baghdad in order to receive salaries.
In order to receive salaries from Baghdad, the Kurdistan Regional Government currently has to send monthly payroll lists, trial balances, and non-oil revenues.
At the same time, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil must confirm to the Ministry of Finance in an official letter that oil exports through the Kurdistan Region have stopped, and then the salary funds will be disbursed.

Are exotic currencies like the Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong expected to rise?
Experts suggest gradual progress rather than sudden changes, with long-term potential tied to economic reforms, global shifts, and increasing interest in alternative currency systems.
⚠️ It feels slow.
It looks messy. And the noise never stops.
But here’s what most people don’t understand:
👉 Progress in global currencies rarely looks clean — but it can still be real.
Right now, behind the headlines and speculation… something deeper is unfolding.
📊 THE REALITY: SLOW DOESN’T MEAN STOPPED
According to market observers like Militia Man:
Yes, things are still noisy
Yes, progress feels slow
But reforms are actively moving forward
👉 Iraq’s economic framework is still being built — step by step.
And that matters more than hype.
🏛️ POLITICAL NOISE VS ECONOMIC MOMENTUM
Every country faces internal challenges.
Iraq is no different.
Key insight:
Political negotiations create delays and uncertainty
Economic reforms create long-term direction
👉 The mistake? Confusing one for the other.
Despite political friction:
Financial restructuring continues
Institutional alignment progresses
Economic planning moves forward
📈 WHY THIS MOMENT MATTERS
Even if it doesn’t look dramatic…
👉 Momentum is building under the surface.
And historically:
Major financial shifts are preceded by slow, structured groundwork
Not sudden announcements.
🌍 RISING ATTENTION: IQD, VND & GLOBAL CURRENCY SHIFTS
According to analyst Sandy Ingram:
👉 Interest in “exotic currencies” is expected to increase over the next two years.
This includes:
Iraqi Dinar (IQD)
Vietnamese Dong (VND)
Discussions around alternative global currency systems
🔮 THE 2028 OUTLOOK (BIG PICTURE)
The projection isn’t about next week.
It’s about positioning.
👉 The idea: Watch how these currencies evolve gradually to understand potential outcomes by 2028.
Important factors:
Global economic shifts
Trade realignments
Policy changes from major powers
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING
This is where many people go wrong:
❌ Expecting immediate results ❌ Misreading long-term signals as short-term events ❌ Overreacting to speculation
👉 Reality: These are multi-year developments, not overnight changes.
🧠 SMART STRATEGY
Instead of chasing hype, focus on:
1. Tracking Incremental Progress
Small changes often signal bigger transitions
2. Understanding Global Context
Currencies don’t move in isolation
3. Watching Policy, Not Rumors
Real change always shows up in policy first
⏳ WHY PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING
Currency evolution requires:
Stability
Confidence
Structural readiness
👉 Without those, any rapid move would fail.
That’s why: Slow progress is often the safest progress.
💡 KEY TAKEAWAY
👉 What looks like delay… may actually be preparation.
And what feels like noise… may be the system adjusting.
📌 Q&A SECTION
❓ Are the Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong expected to increase in value?

Some analysts point to this timeframe for evaluating the long-term impact of current economic trends.

Preparation and education are key — not reaction to short-term speculation.
🚀 FINAL THOUGHT
The biggest edge right now isn’t speed.
👉 It’s understanding.
Because while others chase headlines…
Smart observers are watching the foundation being built.
Is it messy? Is it still noisy? Of course it is. It's also seemingly slow...
Iraq's practical reforms and their economic work is still pushing forward with real momentum. Are they going to hammer out the political side of things? Absolutely. Every country goes through these types of things...

Start preparing now for the uptick in exotic currency, the IQD and the VND and talk of the BRICS currency over the next two years.
