The Numbers Are Reassuring... But Are The Reserves Sufficient To Protect The Dinar?…
The Numbers Are Reassuring... But Are The Reserves Sufficient To Protect The Dinar?… The Shocking Truth: The Danger Lies Not In The Market, But In The State Itself
Baghdad Today – Baghdad While the parallel market is testing the limits of monetary policy, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih , offered explicit reassurance: the official exchange rate will remain at 1,320 dinars, and the recent fluctuations are merely "short-term noise." But behind this apparent calm lies a larger question concerning the state's ability to bolster its resources without jeopardizing monetary stability.
Early Access FAQs
Economist Ahmed Abdel Rabbo interprets Saleh’s statements as part of a broader strategy; in his view, price stability is not merely a financial option but a political signal that the incoming government will not approach adjusting the exchange rate in its first year, in recognition of the magnitude of the inflationary impact that any step in this direction could have.
Abdel Rabbo tells Baghdad Today that the real challenge lies not in the exchange rate but in the revenue structure itself. He explains that Iraq loses billions of dollars annually through weak customs procedures, a paper-based tax system, and massive import flows that keep the demand for dollars high.
In his view, increasing revenue requires less of a change in the exchange rate and more of a complete customs reform, a shift to electronic tax collection, and linking tax databases to foreign trade, banks, and border crossings.
What Abdel Rabbo points out aligns with part of Mazhar Saleh's vision: strong foreign reserves provide cover for the official exchange rate, and inflation, which has fallen to 2.5%, reflects the success of monetary policy in stabilizing prices. However, without addressing the loopholes in tax collection, evasion, and invoice manipulation, the parallel market will remain capable of generating speculative waves whenever a rumor or incomplete information emerges.
Abdel Rabbo also believes that part of the pressure on the dollar is a result of an economic structure that relies on consumer imports, which makes supporting agriculture, food industries, building materials and medicines not only a development option, but also an indirect monetary policy that reduces the need for the dollar and improves the balance of payments.
In light of this scenario, the equation for stability seems clear: protecting the dinar is not achieved by changing the price, but by reforming the economy from the bottom up.
What Saleh said about the stability of the reserves provides the necessary cover, but what Abd Rabbo is proposing represents the long road that cannot be avoided if the state wants a stable exchange rate that is not shaken by "temporary noise".

MNT GOAT: All Signs Point to Early 2026 for Iraqi Dinar Normalization and Return to FOREX
Introduction: Why Early 2026 Is Becoming the Focus
According to Mnt Goat, the growing body of economic, infrastructure, and revenue-based evidence strongly suggests that early 2026 is the most realistic window for Iraq to normalize the Iraqi dinar and reinstate it on the global FOREX market.
Rather than relying on speculation or isolated news, this analysis focuses on hard fundamentals—projects already implemented, revenues already being generated, and national systems that are finally coming together after years of rebuilding.
The Big Picture: Everything Is Connected
Mnt Goat emphasizes a critical truth often overlooked:
Iraq’s monetary reform is not a single event—it is the result of interconnected systems working together over time.
Economic normalization depends on:
Infrastructure
Revenue sustainability
Trade mechanisms
Customs enforcement
Political and central bank coordination
Only when these systems mature together can the dinar safely return to international markets.
Major Revenue-Driving Projects Now in Motion
1. The Development Road Project
This massive trade corridor is designed to:
Connect Asia to Europe through Iraq
Generate long-term transit, logistics, and trade revenues
Position Iraq as a regional commercial hub
This project is no longer theoretical—it is actively being implemented .
2. The Port of Faw
The Grand Faw Port is one of Iraq’s most strategic assets.
Enables large-scale shipping access
Supports trade diversification beyond oil
Creates sustainable port and customs revenues
Once fully operational, it will significantly increase non-oil income for the federal government.
3. Reopening of the Ceyhan (Cyan) Oil Pipeline
The reopening of the Iraq–Turkey oil pipeline is a potential game-changer.
Nearly doubles oil export capacity
Brings immediate, measurable revenue growth
Strengthens Iraq’s fiscal position
Oil revenues remain foundational to Iraq’s economy, and this pipeline restores a major artery.
4. Customs and Tariff Revenues
Often underestimated, customs enforcement is now becoming effective.
Tariff collection is improving
Border control is strengthening
Smuggling losses are being reduced
These revenues directly support budget stability and currency strength.
Why Timing Matters: A Slow but Necessary Process
Mnt Goat makes it clear:
“This is not an overnight transformation.”
Most of these projects:
Began within the last four years
Require time to reach full revenue capacity
Are currently in implementation or early production phases
This slow maturation is not a weakness—it is the foundation needed to support a normalized currency.
Natural Resources: The Next Revenue Wave
Beyond infrastructure and oil, Iraq possesses vast natural resources that are now being prepared for global markets.
Exploration and development underway
Marketing phases approaching
Expected to generate massive future revenues
Mnt Goat notes these resources are “very soon” to be monetized, further strengthening Iraq’s economic position.
The Role of the Gatekeepers: CBI and Iraqi Authorities
Ultimately, the decision to reinstate the dinar belongs to:
The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI)
Iraq’s financial and political “gatekeepers”
Mnt Goat stresses that these authorities are:
Fully aware of the progress
Monitoring revenue stability
Coordinating timing carefully
“They are now all concurring the time is ripe.”
Featured Snippets
When will the Iraqi dinar return to FOREX?
Mnt Goat believes growing economic evidence points to early 2026 as the most realistic timeframe for the Iraqi dinar to normalize and return to FOREX trading.
What supports Iraqi dinar normalization?
Key drivers include the Development Road Project, the Port of Faw, increased oil exports, customs tariffs, and expanding natural resource revenues.
Why has Iraq delayed currency normalization?
Major national projects require time to reach full revenue capacity, ensuring the dinar is supported by sustainable income streams.
Q&A Section
Q: Is Iraq already generating revenue from these projects?
A: Yes. Some projects are already producing real revenues, with much larger potential ahead.
Q: Why not reinstate the dinar sooner?
A: Premature reinstatement without full revenue backing could destabilize the currency.
Q: Who decides when the dinar returns to FOREX?
A: The Central Bank of Iraq and Iraq’s financial leadership make the final decision.
Key Takeaway from Mnt Goat
The message is clear and grounded in fundamentals:
Iraq is no longer planning—it is executing
Revenues are growing, not theoretical
Systems are aligning
Timing is becoming clearer
Early 2026 is not hype—it is the result of measured economic progress.

There is much more evidence than not that everything is pointing to early 2026 for them to normalize the dinar and place it back on FOREX to trade. ...the Development Road Project, the port of Faw or the reopening of the Cyan oil pipeline that can almost double the oil revenues. Oh…did I mention the Customs and Tariff revenues?
Some of these projects and more at the implementation phases and some are generating real revenues already with potential for more, massive amounts...Most of these projects are recent within the last four years and take time to come to full capacity for revenue generation for the federal government... It is a slow process
So, you see it all works together and are interconnected, and I have not even begun to mention the natural resources available that is also in the making to be marketed soon, very soon! I will leave it to the “gatekeepers” of Iraq and the CBI to decide when to reinstate the dinar based on all these new developments. They are now all concurring the time is ripe now.
