My perspective on the dinar and economic reform, based on what Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi wrote about them
My perspective on the dinar and economic reform, based on what Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi wrote about them.
With all due respect to you, my dear professor Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi, and with all due appreciation for your knowledge and expertise, from which I have always benefited, I hope you will allow me to present the following points to you, in response and commentary on what you wrote about economic reform a few days ago, as follows:
1- The “White Paper” was never a reform paper, and it never will be. In it, the wrong measures and government corruption were imposed on the people, as they were exposed to inflation due to the reduction in the exchange rate of the dinar, and stagnation prevailed in the markets due to the contradictions in the economic measures, not to mention the exploitation of the economic crises by those in power and their entourages to make profits and accelerate the wheel of smuggling.
2- I agree with you, my dear professor, that the economic crises in developing countries are caused by errors in macroeconomic policies, and I also agree with you on the necessity of cooperating with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. However, I do not agree with you, nor with the pillars of the Iraqi government that approved the “White Paper” prepared by the World Bank, with nominal Iraqi participation, regarding many of the items and measures contained in the ill-fated White Paper.
I do not agree with placing the plans to address the Iraqi economic crises under the authority of the World Bank or others. Rather, I call for the solutions to be purely Iraqi, in cooperation with international financial institutions, as Iraq is full of good economic personnel, both inside and outside the government.
3- In my view, seeking to reduce the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is an economic crime that should only be resorted to in extreme emergency situations, when other means are exhausted. Iraq has multiple available means to address its economic crises, such as borrowing, rationalizing the budget, reforming food rations and social welfare, regulating salaries, limiting appointments, and eliminating underemployment, among others. These measures will be painful, as you mentioned, but they are certainly better than the effects of stagflation, which will burden the rich before the poor.
4- Floating the Iraqi dinar, in the current state of the Iraqi economy, contradicts the most basic rules of economics, not to mention its contradiction with reason and logic. Economically, floating occurs in a balanced free market where there is a real opportunity to achieve a fair exchange rate. This is impossible to achieve in the current Iraqi economy, as the only party that possesses dollars and hard currencies is the Central Bank of Iraq. As for the Iraqi market, it obtains hard currencies from the Central Bank, because Iraq is an importing country and not an exporting one, and most traders do not possess hard currency because they do not export, but rather they depend on the Central Bank to provide foreign currency liquidity. Consequently, there is no balanced market in which hard currency is available to everyone, and it is a market governed by what the Central Bank provides of hard currency, so competition becomes impossible, and achieving a fair exchange rate becomes impossible.
5- Promoting the idea of floating the dinar and reducing its exchange rate in the markets and among the general public is extremely dangerous. It is a preemptive move for possible future measures that may not happen, and if they do happen, they may not be soon. Occupying the markets with this type of idea presented as a solution is harmful and not beneficial. Therefore, I recommend staying away from it and leaving the idea of floating the dinar and reducing its exchange rate to the next government.
6- The economic reform process will be harsh and costly for the poor and those with limited and middle incomes, as you mentioned. The government must strive to alleviate the burden of this harshness and cost by improving economic, security, and social performance, and by formulating a national reform paper, with the participation of the concerned parties, the government, society, and markets, and with the assistance of local, international, and UN financial institutions.
6- Economic reform measures will not be effective unless they are accompanied by good intentions from those who take them. Corruption and mismanagement have brought Iraq to this state, and its continuation means the inevitable failure of reform measures. I think the time has come for the marginalized class of the national elite and entrepreneurs in the markets to take their place in the constructive and effective contribution to managing the course of the economy in Iraq, whether those in power accept it or not. link
MILITIAMAN: CBI Confirms the Three Zeros Project Is Active: Iraq’s Digital Dinar Era Has Begun
CBI Confirms the Three Zeros Project Is Active: Iraq’s Digital Dinar Era Has Begun
According to CBI Governor Alaq, December 2025 marked a defining confirmation for Iraq’s monetary future:
👉 The Three Zeros Project is active.
👉 It is directly tied to the Digital Dinar.
👉 Implementation is already underway.
These are not interpretations.
These are his words, not opinions.
This moment signals that Iraq is no longer planning — it is executing.
From Paper Currency to a Tokenized Digital IQD
One of the most important revelations is the timeline:
Paper notes are scheduled to be phased out by 2026
Replaced with a programmable, tokenized Iraqi dinar
Backed by oil, gold, and national assets
This isn’t just digitization.
💡 This is a complete monetary system transformation.
The Big Picture: Why This Is So Complex — and So Powerful
Militia Man described it perfectly:
“This is the big picture. It’s been very complex.”
And that complexity explains why this process has taken years.
Iraq didn’t just change its currency — it rebuilt its entire financial foundation.
At this stage, Iraq appears to have gone beyond the point of no return.
“I think Iraq has gone beyond the edge… in free fall, getting ready to splash.”
Comparing the Past vs. the Present Exchange Rate Era
When Iraq previously traded around $3.22 / $2.80, the country did not include:
Massive untapped natural resources
Trillions in asset valuation
New diversified revenue streams
What’s Different Now? Everything.
$16 Trillion in Assets Now Supporting the IQD
This time, Iraq’s real effective exchange rate is supported by:
$16 trillion worth of natural resources
Including 350 billion pounds of silica
Strategic minerals critical for global technology and industry
🔑 This income directly supports currency valuation.
That’s not theory — that’s how real effective exchange rates are calculated.
Oil Exports: A Direct Support Mechanism for the Dinar
On December 11th, Iraq exported:
🛢️ 7.9 million barrels of oil to the United States
Sourced from the West Qurna field
Demonstrating reliable and scalable supply
Representing massive incoming capital
“That’s a lot of oil. That’s a lot of money.”
And all of that money strengthens the Iraqi dinar.
Foreign Exchange Reserves: Over $100 Billion and Growing
Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves exceed $100 billion.
That level of reserves means:
Strong currency defense capability
Stability during transition
Confidence for international markets
This is why the momentum appears unstoppable.
Featured Snippet: Key Insight
The Central Bank of Iraq has confirmed the Three Zeros Project is active and tied to the digital dinar, with paper notes set to be phased out by 2026, supported by oil exports, gold, and trillions in national assets.
Q&A: Key Investor Questions
Q: Is the Three Zeros Project officially active?
A: Yes. CBI Governor Alaq confirmed it is active and in implementation.
Q: Is this connected to the digital dinar?
A: Yes. The project is directly tied to Iraq’s digital currency rollout.
Q: Will paper IQD disappear?
A: Paper notes are expected to be phased out by 2026.
Q: What backs the new Iraqi dinar?
A: Oil, gold, foreign reserves, and massive natural resource assets.
Q: Can Iraq stop this process now?
A: Momentum suggests it is too late to stop.
Why the Momentum Will Not Stop
Massive oil revenue
Record foreign reserves
Tokenized monetary infrastructure
UN and international alignment
Confirmations from the CBI itself
All signs point in one direction.
“I think the momentum we’re seeing is just not going to stop.”
Final Thoughts
This is not a single event.
This is a systemic transformation.
Iraq is positioning itself for:
Global trade
Digital finance
Asset-backed currency strength
And the splash may be much bigger than most expect.

The CBI governor Alaq confirmed in December 2025 the three zero project is active, tied to the digital dinar, now in full implementation. Those are words that he said. I didn't just say it. That's what he's talking about. Paper notes to be phased out by 2026 making way for programmable tokenized IQD backed oil and gold...This is the big picture. It's been very complex...I think Iraq has gone beyond the edge...in free fall getting ready to splash, making a big one.
Fitch affirms Iraq's credit rating at (B-) and praises "internal stability"
Fitch affirms Iraq's credit rating at (B-) and praises "internal stability"
The Iraqi Ministry of Finance announced on Monday that the international credit rating agency Fitch has affirmed Iraq’s sovereign rating at (B-) with a “stable” outlook.
The ministry said in a statement, received by Shafaq News Agency, that this step reflects international confidence in the ability of the Iraqi economy to maintain its financial and credit stability despite the current global and regional challenges.
The ministry explained in its statement that the Fitch report highlighted positively the strength of internal stability in Iraq, noting that the internal situation has remained resilient and stable during the past months, which reflects the success of government policies in keeping the Iraqi arena neutral from regional conflicts and escalating tensions in the region.
The Iraqi Ministry of Finance added that the agency also noted the significant improvement in the security situation, which has strengthened the country’s ability to absorb successive geopolitical shocks, pointing out that oil revenues still constitute a major support for the Iraqi economy, providing a financial base that contributes to the sustainability of service provision and the running of state affairs.
The Ministry of Finance affirmed that maintaining the rating with a stable outlook provides an incentive to move forward with the implementation of the structural reforms adopted by the government, which aim to maximize non-oil revenues, improve the efficiency of public spending, and address the challenges associated with approving future budgets, thereby reducing financial uncertainty and enhancing the path of economic development.
The ministry renewed its commitment to working according to strategies aimed at diversifying sources of income and strengthening the pillars of the national economy, taking advantage of the state of security and political stability to enhance the confidence of international financial institutions in the future of the Iraqi economy.
A credit rating is an indicator of a country's ability to meet its financial obligations and repay its debts. Fitch Ratings' affirmation of Iraq's rating at (B-) means that the country is still able to repay, but it faces potential financial and economic risks, which keeps borrowing costs relatively high and makes investor confidence cautious, without registering a substantial improvement or decline in the financial situation, according to specialists.
Fitch Ratings is one of the world’s largest credit rating agencies, along with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. It is based in the United States and specializes in assessing the creditworthiness of countries and companies. Its ratings are based on economic, financial and political indicators and are used globally by governments, investors and financial institutions to estimate investment and borrowing risks. link
JEFF: Iraq Chapter VII Sanctions Lifted: Why the UN Exit Ceremony Could Signal a Historic Currency Revaluation
Iraq Chapter VII Sanctions Lifted: Why the UN Exit Ceremony Could Signal a Historic Currency Revaluation
Today marked one of the most critical milestones in the history of the Iraqi dinar investment. The news coming directly from the United Nations confirms what many investors and analysts have been waiting decades to hear:
👉 Iraq is no longer under Chapter VII sanctions.
This development removes one of the last and most significant international barriers preventing Iraq from fully reclaiming its financial sovereignty — including the ability to revalue its national currency.
Let’s break down why this moment matters, what the UN ceremony truly signals, and why timing is everything.
Chapter VII Sanctions: Officially Lifted
For years, Chapter VII sanctions represented a financial stranglehold on Iraq. These sanctions restricted Iraq’s ability to:
Fully control its monetary policy
Access international banking systems freely
Reintegrate into the global financial market
Revalue or adjust its national currency without oversight
📢 That chapter is now closed.
All financial-related Chapter VII restrictions have been lifted, officially clearing the path for Iraq to act as a sovereign nation once again.
Iraq is now eligible — legally and internationally — to revalue its currency.
This is not speculation. This is structural reality.
UNAMI Mission Ending: A Historic Transition
Key Article Highlight
“The United Nations will be exiting Iraq, ending their UNAMI mission at the end of 2025.”
The UN’s official role in Iraq concludes on December 31, 2025
This ends 22 years of direct UN involvement
Iraq transitions fully to independent governance and financial autonomy
But here’s where the story gets truly interesting…
The Congratulatory Ceremony: Why Now?
This weekend, a high-profile congratulatory ceremony took place:
Prime Minister Sudani publicly thanked the UN for 22 years of support
Antonio Guterres, head of the United Nations, officially congratulated Iraq on achieving stability
Critical Question
If the UN mission doesn’t officially end until December 31, 2025…
Why hold the congratulatory ceremony now?
My Analysis: Timing Is Not Accidental
In my opinion, this ceremony had to happen before a major financial transition.
This type of diplomatic acknowledgment is not symbolic fluff — it is procedural.
Why This Matters
Iraq cannot re-enter the international financial stage without global recognition of stability
A currency revaluation requires international confidence
The UN must formally acknowledge Iraq’s progress before rate changes occur
💡 This ceremony clears the diplomatic runway.
Iraq Is Ready for the World Stage
With Chapter VII sanctions lifted and the UN stepping back:
Iraq is recognized as stable
Iraq is recognized as sovereign
Iraq is recognized as financially capable
Nothing is “in the way” anymore.
The barriers that once prevented a currency adjustment no longer exist.
Featured Snippet: Key Takeaway
Iraq is no longer under Chapter VII sanctions, the UN has officially recognized its stability, and the UNAMI mission is ending — all critical prerequisites for Iraq’s return to the global financial system and potential currency revaluation.
Q&A: Investor Questions Answered
Q: Is Iraq still under Chapter VII sanctions?
A: No. All financial-related Chapter VII sanctions have been lifted.
Q: Does the UN still control Iraq financially?
A: No. Iraq is now fully sovereign in monetary and financial matters.
Q: Why did the UN hold a ceremony before the mission ends?
A: The ceremony likely needed to occur before major financial changes and global reintegration.
Q: Does this guarantee a dinar revaluation?
A: No guarantees — but this removes one of the last legal and international obstacles.
Why This Moment Is Different
This is not hype.
This is not rumor.
This is infrastructure, law, and diplomacy aligning.
When the UN congratulates a nation on stability — before officially exiting — history tells us something is coming next.
Final Thoughts
Watch the timing.
Watch the international banking signals.
Watch Iraq’s next moves on the global stage.
This chapter is closed — and a new one is opening.

Today was a very critical day within this investment because very critical news from...the United Nations that put Chapter VII sanctions on Iraq. They no longer have Chapter 7 sanction. Those have all been lifted regarding the financial aspect of Iraq that would prevent them from being able to revalue the currency. Iraq is now sovereign, eligible to revalue the currency. That's not in the way anymore. Those have all been lifted...
Article: 'The United Nations will be exiting Iraq, ending their UNAMI missions at the end of 2025' The UN's work within Iraq official ends on December 31, 2025. But there's another piece to this puzzle.
They needed to have that 'congratulatory ceremony' which they did today. Sudani came forward thanking the United Nations for their 22 years of efforts and service helping restore and turn the country of Iraq around and achieve stability. In return, Antonio, the head honcho of the UN, congratulated Iraq on achieving stability.
I want you to think about something. With the UN's missions ending at the very end of this year, December 31, 2025, why did they have and hold this congratulatory meeting/ ceremony this weekend?
My opinion...this ceremony needed to happen before the rate is going to change and before Iraq gets back on the international world stage.
