MNT GOAT: ⏳ RV Reality Check – It’s Not About Article 12, It’s About Economics 💼, PART. 1

 MNT GOAT

STATUS OF THE RV 

📉 RV Status Update – Reality Check, August 2025

🔹 No RV yet as August begins — and for good reason. The delays aren't mysterious or hidden; they're tied to real-world events and economics, not guru hype.

🔹 The idea that "budget tables" (Article 12) are holding up the RV is false. These tables are used to allocate funds to projects, not to trigger a revaluation. Many of those projects are delayed to 2026 due to falling oil prices and lack of funding.

🔹 Iraq’s major revenues are still in 

USD (petrodollars), not dinar. Revaluation is not needed to fund the budget  — they’re still using the dollar for that.

🔹 For an RV to happen, Iraq must de-dollarize and unpeg from the USD — and they haven’t done that yet. Stability and control of the currency must come first.

🔹 The real focus is on fighting inflation, attracting foreign investment, and creating a strong financial structure — not just slapping on a higher rate.

🔹 Bottom line: No shortcuts. The RV must be economically justified and sustainable, not driven by speculation or internet noise.

MNT GOAT: 💰 Dinar Comeback? Market Rate Nears Official Value at 1,320!

 "IRAQI DINAR NEARS OFFICIAL RATE AS MARKET STABILIZES."

 "Iraq's national currency, the dinar, is showing strong signs of recovery, with the market rate steadily approaching the official exchange rate of 1,320 IQD to the US dollar.

 After a turbulent period of volatility and speculation, this shift signals something deeper than a temporary market correction - it's the product of deliberate government action, changing trade behaviors, and a structural shift in how Iraqis interact with money.

"

The gap between the official and street rate is closing. And that gap,

which for months symbolized inefficiency and mistrust, is now rapidly shrinking.

The Iranian parliament approves removing four zeros from the currency

 The Iranian parliament approves removing four zeros from the currency.

MP Fathallah Tavasoli, a member of the Iranian parliament's economic committee, announced the committee's approval of a bill to remove four zeros from the national currency.

Tosoli explained that this project, submitted by the government, was approved after addressing the comments and in agreement with the governor of the Central Bank, the Ministry of Economy, and the relevant committee. 

The Economic Committee stated that this step aims to facilitate transactions, and that the project's details are currently being amended to comply with other laws.

In May, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Mohammad Reza Farzin, stated that removing four zeros from the national currency "represents a priority in the country's monetary reform plan for the current year 2025."

Removing zeros from a currency is a financial procedure in which the circulating currency is replaced by a new one with a reduced nominal value, with specific zeros removed from its denominations (for example, when six zeros are removed, every million units of the old currency become equivalent to one unit of the modified currency). 

This measure is usually taken to enhance financial credibility, restore monetary confidence, regulate exchange markets, and combat inflation.  link
