Iraqi Planning Ministry Explores "Dollar Journey" in Iraqi Economy
The Ministry of Planning has hosted a consultative session on the "Journey of the Dollar in the Iraqi Economy: Between Monetary Policy and the Market."
Organised by the Department of Economic and Financial Policies, the session brought together department heads and staff to analyse the sources, flows, and impact of foreign currency-primarily the US dollar-on Iraq's economy.
Fatima Mohsen Mohammed, Head of the Macroeconomics Division in the Economic Policy and Modelling Department, explained that oil exports account for approximately 95% of Iraq's foreign currency inflows and more than 90% of state revenues. Other sources include:
- Remittances from Iraqis abroad (2-3%)
- Non-oil exports, such as dates, sulfur, phosphates, and basic agricultural and industrial goods (1%)
- Foreign investments and international aid, including loans, grants, and support from institutions like the IMF and World Bank (variable)
- Religious tourism, which contributes 1-2%
- Airlines, transport, and services sectors, which currently have minimal dollar inflow impact
The discussion also examined the stages and mechanisms by which dollars enter Iraq and the interaction between monetary policy and market dynamics in influencing those flows.

MARKZ: "Iraq Goes Gold-Backed? Major Signs Point to Imminent Dinar Revaluation!"
MARKZ
π₯ Iraq was very active over the weekend with promising economic moves:
✅ The Bank of Baghdad is now the first sovereign bank in Iraq – signaling true international status.
✅ Iraq pushes forward on its 3-year monetary reform plan — Sudani aims to restore Dinar value and purchasing power.
✅ Iraq is moving to replace the dollar with gold, indicating a shift toward asset-backed currency
.
✅ Dollar shipments to Iraq have reportedly stopped – adding speculation of an imminent Dinar revaluation.
π¬ Bond holders expect key activity on July 28th. Many sources anticipate action overnight into Tuesday.
πΊπΈ In the U.S., Trump’s team hints at tariff rebates for taxpayers — possibly even “helicopter money” as economic relief.
π£️ Community sentiment: High hopes for Aug. 1st and beyond — but cautious optimism as people await concrete results.
π Ongoing discussion on the parallel market rate in Iraq and whether parity is the final trigger for the RV.
Billions In Fines... Has The Central Bank Launched A Bank Purge?
Billions In Fines... Has The Central Bank Launched A Bank Purge?
July 27, 2025 Last updated: July 27, 2025 Al-Mustaqilla/- In a move that has raised many questions within banking circles, the Central Bank of Iraq has begun implementing financial sanctions on a number of private banks and exchange companies.
This is part of a campaign aimed at correcting the course of the banking sector, which is facing increasing criticism regarding poor compliance and exchange rate manipulation.
According to a schedule published yesterday afternoon, the value of fines imposed on banks and exchange companies amounted to more than 24 billion Iraqi dinars uring the second quarter of this year.
This figure reflects the extent of accumulated violations in the local banking market,which observers believe pose a direct threat to the stability of the currency and the policies of the Central Bank. An informed source revealed to Al-Mustaqilla that these sanctions come within the context of a broader movement that began to take shape following a recent meeting in Istanbul between a delegation from the Central Bank of Iraq and a US Federal Reserve official.
The move comes after the "Istanbul meeting.”
The meeting, according to leaks, witnessed a heated discussion about Iraq's commitment to international standards for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, with threats of new sanctions that could affect the Iraqi banking sector unless urgent reform measures are taken.
Will Iraq witness the withdrawal of bank holidays soon?
Economic sources indicate that the recent sanctions may be a preliminary step toward revoking the
licenses of some banks and exchange companies that have failed to comply with regulations and instructions, particularly those involved in dollar smuggling or manipulation of exchange rates on the parallel market.
Observers expect the coming days to witness a broad audit campaign led by the Central Bank, in coordination with regulatory and security agencies, to control banking performance and address the chaos that has contributed to market turmoil and undermined public confidence.
Message to banks: comply or exit the market
The Central Bank's latest move could be a clear message to financial institutions: "Commitment first," as the Iraqi government seeks to assert state sovereignty over the financial sector and distance itself from political pressures and vested interests that have hindered sector reform for years. Experts believe that the success of these measures depends on serious implementation, and not just financial fines, but also holding those responsible for violations acountable and withdrawing banking privileges from the parties involved. https://mustaqila.com/ΨΊΨ±Ψ§Ω

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

Member: Good Monday Morning…….a new week full of new possibilities!!
Member: Well it’s the 28th, what say you RV Gods?
Member: Normally Monday are slow news days, Not today, supposedly good news coming our way !
MZ: We are hoping for a wild ride this week. Busy in Iraq over the weekend.
Member:! I can’t wait for the day you have life changing news for us!
Member: Lots of chatter for today and tomorrow and even this week.
MZ: Bond information was the same as Saturday. All the expectations point to things happening overnight tonight. Most of my contacts should check in by tomorrow evening. They are looking at something key happening on the 28th (today) so they could get their dollars.
Member: Mark Do we have to have a list of the Serial #s of our currencies to take to the redemption center?
MZ: I have been told repeatedly- NO
Member: Per coinbase: Coinbase is set to undergo a scheduled upgrade at approximately 7:00 AM PT on Saturday, August 2, 2025. We expect this upgrade to take up to three hours, however this estimated time..
Member: I wonder about August 1st …a day that is going to bring us what Trump was talking about & is calling August 1st a sacred day?
Member: I wish I had more faith. Struggle some days. We are losing people every day. We were so sure this would happen months ago. Praying Aug 1st is our day.
Member: Aug. 1st is tariff day……and DJT said the US people may get a rebate check back from the success of tarrifs.
MZ: “Trump proposes rebates for US taxpayers from tariff revenues” So there is a hope for helicopter money to help with our bills. I do not know if this is just political posturing or if its real. Years ago I had contacts who were convinced that there would be some type of helicopter money just before we go. It was a very connected person, but after all this time do not know if that is still valid. I hope it does come to something because so many people are hurting and need it.
Member: Helicopter money would be an excellent cover for RV
Member: IMO- Unless the gold standard gets announced, there’s no way to give people money back when the debt is $36T.
Member: Howard Lutnick…..Trumps financial advisor said this weekend that they are at about 700 billion income from tarrifs now and when they hit $750 B they could cut income taxes for most of us!!! “ “Howard Lutnick said, anywhere approaching $750B, we have the line of site to cut income tax to ZERO for anyone making $150k or less.”
MZ: In Iraq: “ The road to development will change the map of the economy and make Iraq a hub for global trade” It should make more than their oil and petrochemicals market. Huge developments in Iraq.
MZ: “ Bank of Baghdad achieves historic milestone as first bank in Iraq” First sovereign bank…and it can do everything. INTERNATIONAL. This may be the beginning of the value change.
MZ: Along with that: “ Monetary Policy: Monetary stability and Digital Transformation methodology 2023-2025” Remember- they had a 3 year plan for monetary reforms. Sudani told us there was a plan to lift the purchasing power of the dinar and restore it to its former glory. They are showing us the game plan. We are down to the last steps.
MZ: “ Iraq is replacing the dollar with gold. Yellow shield in the face of economic storms” In other words Iraq is going asset backed. When they talk about replacing the dollar….they are talking about replacing fiat money.
Member: And US Halts Dollar Shipments to Iraq... whats that gonna do?? Means Dinar is set for Major Revaluation!" IMO
MZ: I totally agree
Member: Mark, could you maybe shed some light on the parallel market in Iraq ? Will this thing ( RV) only go when the parallel rate reaches parity ?
Member: Nadar said soon….. very soon
Member: Our buddy Frank had some information on inflation things should pop off in a 3 week time frame if not sooner
Member: We were looking for a crash at one point. Guess that is not a thing anymore?
Member: I feel the news has been so good. We have to be getting close!
Member: Mark seems Salty today~he’s tired of waiting too yall!
Member: We are all salty…….Come on RV.
Member: Thanks Mark and mods……hope everyone has a great day!!!
