AN ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY REVEALS THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ’S CONDITIONS FOR BANKS TO TRADE IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN THE DOLLAR
AN ECONOMIC OBSERVATORY REVEALS THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ’S CONDITIONS FOR BANKS TO TRADE IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN THE DOLLAR
(Mnt Goat: Here it is in this article. Another step in the breakaway from sanctioned times, this time trade, just as I told you was coming and had to come. Am I a mind reader or what? Lolo..lol..lol.. 
)
An economic observatory announced the new conditions set by the Central Bank of Iraq for banks wishing to trade foreign currencies other than the dollar, such as the European “Euro” and the Chinese “Yuan,” noting that among these conditions is that “the bank’s capital must be 300 billion Iraqi dinars.”
The Eco Iraq Observatory explained in a press statement on Saturday, January 10, 2026, that “the Central Bank circulated a document entitled (Guidelines and Models for Assessing Minimum Requirements) for banks prohibited from dealing in dollars and wishing to work in other foreign currencies such as the European Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the UAE Dirham, and others, indicating that “this document is part of the banking sector reform program implemented by the Central Bank.”
The observatory noted that “the document included conditions, most notably that the bank’s capital be 300 billion dinars with a plan to reach 400 billion dinars by the end of 2028,” as well as “the bank having sufficient and regular liquidity to cover its obligations and the obligations of customers, in accordance with international banking regulations (LCR and NSFR).”
“The document emphasized the disclosure of the bank’s ownership, i.e., providing a complete and approved list of shareholders, with full disclosure of related parties,” according to the statement.
The Economic Affairs Observatory “Eco Iraq” had previously revealed that 35 out of 72 banks operating in Iraq were subject to US sanctions, either due to sanctions by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), i.e., the bank being placed on an international blacklist and its financial transactions being paralyzed or its dollar transactions being stopped, or as a “temporary regulatory measure” and not a penalty, to force the bank to comply with transparency.
🚨 MARKZ & BRUCE Update: Iraq Completes Financial Reform – Dinar & Dong on the Brink
This latest MarkZ update may be one of the most significant to date. Between official confirmation from Iraq, rising expectations for the Vietnamese dong, global instability in Iran and Venezuela, and a late-week timing window, the signals are aligning rapidly.
As MarkZ himself said — this could be a “drop the mic” moment.
Let’s break it all down.

Consult a professional before making any financial decisions.
🇻🇳 Vietnamese Dong Update: Higher Than Expected?
A key question was raised:
Q: Do you still think the dong will come in at $2.35?
MarkZ’s Response:
“I still think it will come in around $2.25… but I am being told I am wrong and it will be way higher.”
Why This Matters:
Confirms confidence remains strong
Suggests revaluation models may be outdated
Reinforces theories of a basket or synchronized currency event
If accurate, this would represent a historic appreciation of the Vietnamese dong.
🌍 Global Reset Pressure: Iran & Venezuela
MarkZ expressed concern over recent global events:
🇮🇷 Iranian currency crashed in the early hours this week
🇻🇪 Venezuela continues to destabilize
These events support the Global Reset narrative
However, they may have temporarily slowed timing
“I think Iraq may have already gone if not for what is happening right now in Iran.”
Despite this:
“I am still hearing things are well underway and we are on the precipice for our blessing.”
🚨 THE BIG ONE: Iraq Confirms Financial Reform Is COMPLETE
This is the statement that changes everything.
“Prime Minister: The Government has completed the path of Financial and Economic Reform.”
According to MarkZ:
Sudani confirmed this on Monday
When Sudani first took office, he stated:
Once financial reform is complete, the dinar will return to its former glory
🔍 Takeaway:
Reform is DONE
The condition for currency restoration has been met
What remains is implementation and announcement
“Very positive stuff in Iraq.”
This is not speculation — this is official language.
💱 What Does “Completed Financial Reform” Mean?
From a monetary perspective, this implies:
Banking reforms finalized
Compliance with international standards
Currency sovereignty restored
Exchange-rate mechanism prepared
Readiness for global reintegration
Historically, no RV occurs before reform is complete.
Iraq just told the world — it is.
⏰ Timing Window: Bruce (WiserNow) Insight
Bruce added an important timing perspective:
“We’ve heard information pointing toward later in the week — anywhere from Thursday through Sunday.”
Why this is important:
Aligns with prior holiday / weekend patterns
Matches banking and settlement cycles
Supports recent chatter of imminent movement
While not guaranteed, the window is clearly defined.
🧠 Strategic Summary
When you combine:
Completed financial reform (official)
Rising dong expectations
Global reset pressure
Quiet but ongoing processes
A defined timing window
➡️ You get maximum convergence.
❓ Q&A – Featured Snippets Ready
❓ Has Iraq completed its financial reform?
Yes. Prime Minister Sudani officially confirmed the completion of financial and economic reform.
❓ What does this mean for the Iraqi dinar?
Sudani previously stated the dinar would return to its former glory once reform was complete.
❓ What is MarkZ’s current outlook on the Vietnamese dong?
MarkZ believes it could exceed earlier estimates and come in significantly higher.
❓ Did global events slow down the RV?
Possibly. Iran and Venezuela may have caused delays, but not stopped the process.
❓ When could movement occur?
Bruce suggests a possible window from Thursday through Sunday.
🔮 Final Thoughts
This update is different.
This is no longer about rumors, politics, or speculation — this is about completed conditions.
When a Prime Minister confirms reform is finished, the next chapter is execution.
We are closer than ever.

Question: Do you still think the dong will come in at $2.35? MarkZ: I still think it will come in around $2.25…but am being told I am wrong and it will be way higher.
The Iranian currency crashed this week…yesterday in the wee hours. I am a bit concerned and think Iraq may have already gone if not for what is happening right now in Iran. Everything happening in Venezuela and Iran looks good for the global reset …but may have slowed things down a bit. But I am still hearing things are well underway and we are on the precipice for our blessing.
Here is the big one…I could just drop the mic and walk away…”Prime Minister: The Government has completed the path of Financial and Economic Reform” Sudani confirmed this on Monday. The take away - Sudani says they completed it. When he first took office he said when they completed it - they would return the dinar to its former glory. Very positive stuff in Iraq.

We've heard information that was pointing toward...later in the week, which would be anywhere from Thursday all the way to Sunday.
