I try to bring you the progress of the monetary reforms, mostly following the plan to get back to FOREX...
This is a huge effort for Iraq as it is right in the middle of a very volatile area of the world right now...
Unfortunately, Iraq is a centuries old, major trading partner with Iran.
So, I hope now you can see the uphill challenge facing Iraq when the U.S. wants to sanction Iran.
It is hard to do. This RV plan we watch is the Dr Shabibi’s plan from 2011. I am told the plan is still in effect and moving ahead...This to me was “WOW!” news.

Saturday, June 14, 2025, | Economic Number of reads: 280 Baghdad / NINA / Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed the government's support for anyone who offers a national industry with high technology and distinguished specifications.

He pointed to the government's support for the industrial sector in general, and for businessmen and industrialists in the private sector,
and anyone who offers an achievement similar to this factory.
The Prime Minister stressed the support and provision of facilities for anyone who offers industry with high technology and distinguished specifications, pointing out the government's keenness to provide land for large industrial projects, which would open the door to important Iraqi industries that support the economy.

Iraq is currently navigating a pivotal moment in its economic and monetary development.
The Iraqi dinar has not yet revalued and remains restricted, pending parliamentary approval of critical budget tables.
This approval is essential for enabling the dinar to enter global foreign exchange markets freely.
Meanwhile, Iraq is preparing to host a major investment forum showcasing 150 pre-approved projects across 12 sectors, including agriculture, oil, gas, and manufacturing—signaling a strategic move toward economic diversification.
The country is also advancing in its accession process to the World Trade Organization (WTO), a significant step toward reducing sanctions and opening its markets.
In parallel, Iraq is undertaking large-scale infrastructure projects, including the development of key ports and efforts to increase national revenue, reflecting optimism about future economic expansion.
International dynamics also play a role.
Pressure from the United States and the United Nations to stabilize Iraq’s oil output highlights the country’s geopolitical importance.
Additionally, legislative developments in the U.S.—such as a proposal to audit gold reserves—may signal broader shifts in global financial strategies.
However, uncertainty remains.
Political instability, speculation about martial law, and unrest continue to present risks.
While Iraq’s efforts to reform its economy and integrate globally show progress, sustained success will depend on domestic political coherence, external cooperation, and the timely execution of its economic agenda.
