His comments referred to future financing plans using investment returns and temporary bank liquidity, notmissing funds.

📑 Finance Ministry: No Withdrawals — Only a Temporary Freeze

No funds were withdrawn.
The account was temporarily frozen, consistent with Social Protection Law No. 11 (2014).

Oversight agencies reaffirm ongoing transparency and protections for citizens’ money.

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]

FIREFLY:Sudani made an announcement saying Iraq is introducing a new mechanism for their currency starting on December 1, 2025.

This involves some strategic shifts in the Iraqi dinar and he mentioned the Vietnamese dong is doing something similar...It's all about currency revaluation aligning with global economic players like the BRICS nations and boosting gold reserves and reducing reliance on the US dollar. Your president Trump is affecting every country, every currency.

FRANK: Well gooood morning Iraq! Good for you, Sudani. You grew a set, didn't you... OMAR: Sudani stopped short of declaring a formal revaluation date but he emphasized the groundwork is fully in place for a "historic making financial transformation."

FIREFLY:We have a speaker on television and he's saying the CBI is independent from the government and the CBI doesn't have to wait for any new government or any laws. CBI is not political so CBI can change the rate any time they desire.

FRANK: Why would you have to say that? Well, they want the citizens to know

who's going to pull the trigger, not to pay attention to the rumors...Everyone knows that but I guess it's a good time to bring that out because Sudani...is trying to put out all those lies and rumors. He's using the media to help him.

IMF EXPLAINS IRAQ’S EXCHANGE RATE ARRANGEMENT

16th July 2025 in Iraq Banking & Finance News, Politics

By John Lee.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a brief explainer on Iraq’s exchange rate arrangement. As part of a follow-up to last week’s report on the state of the Iraqi economy, the IMF clarified as follows:

“Exchange Rate Arrangement

“Iraq’s de jure and de facto exchange rate arrangements are classified as a conventional peg arrangement. The Central Bank Law gives the Board of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) the authority to formulate exchange rate policy.

“Effective February 8, 2023, the official exchange rate was set at ID 1,320 according to the closing prices of the daily bulletin of gold & main currencies published on the CBI website (www.cbi.iq).

“There has been a change to Iraq’s exchange system since the last Article IV Consultation. Iraq continues to avail itself of the transitional arrangements under Article XIV, Section 2 but no longer maintains any restrictions under this provision. Iraq does not maintain any current account exchange restrictions or MCPs [Managed Currency Pegs]. Starting January 2025, all international transactions have been routed through commercial banks via their correspondent banking relationships (CBRs).

“The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) replenishes these balances weekly based on foreign exchange demand and conducts audits to ensure that the allocated funds are used in compliance with AML/CFT regulations. Private banks are also encouraged to broaden their CBR networks, particularly with non-U.S. financial institutions.”
