Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization: The United Nations confirms tangible progress

Joining the World Trade Organization is witnessing clear progress, according to the United Nations International Trade Centre, with the completion of key technical and regulatory stages at both the local and international levels.

The International Trade Centre, a United Nations agency, confirmed that Iraq has made clear progress in its steps towards joining the organization.

Eric Bochot, the director of the International Trade Centre’s programs in Iraq, affiliated with the United Nations, said : “The process of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization is still ongoing, and has seen progress in several important stages at both the national and international levels.”

Bushot added that this progress includes the establishment and reactivation of the Iraq Working Group at the World Trade Organization, the revival of national coordination mechanisms, technical reviews of trade-related legislation, communication with member states of the organization, as well as preparatory work related to market access and regulatory harmonization.

The UN official stressed that what has been accomplished so far reflects a continued commitment to aligning the Iraqi trade system with multilateral rules, although additional steps are still required.

For his part, economist Nabil Al-Tamimi said that the government and the Ministry of Trade are working hard to join the World Trade Organization.

Al-Tamimi added that “joining requires several procedures, including legislative and legal amendments, in order for Iraq to meet the conditions for joining this organization, noting that the legislative process in Iraq may be slow for several reasons.”

Al-Tamimi explained that these steps were accompanied by procedural obligations that are part of the conditions for joining the organization. link

JEFF: 🇮🇶 Iraq’s Dollar “Earthquake” at the Start of 2026

🇮🇶 Iraq’s Dollar “Earthquake” at the Start of 2026

Why Rising Dollar Pressure Is Forcing a Dinar Decision

Commentary based on Jeff’s analysis

🌍 A Powerful Headline Out of Iraq

An Iraqi article recently captured attention with this title:

“The Dollar ‘Earthquake’ This Iraqi Markets at the Start of 2026… Expectations of Breaking the 146,000 Barrier.”

This headline reflects a real and growing pressure inside Iraq’s financial system — one that cannot be ignored much longer.

💵 The Parallel Dollar Is Rising — But Why?

Jeff explains the reason is not random:

Trade inside Iraq is increasing
Imports are rising
Iraq’s dinar is not yet a tradable international currency

Because of this, the U.S. dollar remains Iraq’s trade currency until the dinar goes international.

As trade increases, demand for dollars increases — pushing the parallel market higher.

📈 The 146,000 Threshold Matters

The dollar approaching — and threatening to break — 146,000 IQD per $100 is significant.

Why?

Because it creates:

Inflationary pressure
Public concern
A credibility issue for monetary policy

Jeff believes this forces urgency on the Central Bank of Iraq, especially once the new government is fully formed.

🏦 Why This Pushes Toward Revaluation

According to Jeff:

Iraq cannot continue expanding trade using a non-tradable currency
The dollar cannot remain the long-term solution
Monetary normalization becomes unavoidable

The rising dollar is not the problem — it’s the signal.

🔍 Clearing Up the “1 to 1” Confusion

Many people say:

“We’ve heard the dinar will go 1 to 1.”

Jeff agrees — technically, yes — but with an important distinction.

You must look at this from two different angles.

🇮🇶 Inside Iraq: 1 to 1 Purchasing Power

Within Iraq:

Whatever you can buy today with a 25,000 dinar note
You will be able to buy the same items with a 25 dinar note after reform

This is purchasing power parity, not international exchange value.

So yes — inside Iraq, it is effectively 1 to 1.

🌐 Outside Iraq: International Exchange Value

Outside Iraq is a different calculation.

Jeff explains it like this:

If the international rate were $3.00 per dinar (example)
A 25,000 dinar note would equal $75,000
A 25 dinar note would equal $0.75

This highlights the redenomination + revaluation structure — not a contradiction, but a design.

🧠 Why This Structure Makes Sense

This dual approach allows Iraq to:

Protect internal pricing
Avoid domestic inflation shocks
Transition smoothly to international markets
Normalize trade settlement

It’s not about instant wealth — it’s about economic functionality.

⭐ Featured Snippet

Jeff explains that Iraq’s rising parallel dollar rate is driven by increased trade and a non-tradable dinar, forcing the Central Bank toward currency reform once the new government is formed.

❓ Q&A: Jeff’s Dinar Breakdown

Q: Why is the dollar rising in Iraq?

A: Because trade is increasing and the dinar is not yet internationally tradable.

Q: What happens if the dollar breaks 146,000?

A: It increases pressure on the CBI to adjust monetary policy.

Q: Is the dinar really going 1 to 1?

A: Yes — internally for purchasing power, not externally.

Q: Why is the international value different?

A: Because exchange rates and domestic purchasing power are separate systems.

🧭 Final Thoughts

The “dollar earthquake” is not a failure of Iraq’s economy — it is a signal of growth without the right monetary tools.

As trade expands, the system must evolve.

Jeff’s analysis reinforces one core truth:

Iraq cannot finish its economic transition without making the dinar tradable.

Pressure is building — and pressure creates decisions.

Article: "The dollar 'earthquake' this Iraqi markets at the start of 2026...expectations of breaking the 146,000 barrier"

The value of the parallel dollar has gone up.

Why? Because trade is increasing. Because the Iraq dinar is not a tradable currency, the dollar is currently their trade currency until they go international, making the dinar tradable. It's crossing that 146,000 threshold against $100. That's creating a level of urgency for the central bank to need to revalue most likely after the government is formed.

Some of you say, 'We've heard this will be 1 to 1.' Technically, yeah, it's going to be 1 to 1. But you got to look at this from two different angles...Hear me carefully on this. It'll be 1 to 1 only within the country of Iraq, not outside.

Here's why...Whatever you can buy at the grocery store for a 25,000 dinar note...you'll be able to buy the same exact items with a 25 dinar note after. So yeah, in the country of Iraq it'll be 1 to 1...

What about outside Iraq?

There's the dinar against foreign currency value...Let's use a $3.00 as example. You would have a 25,000 note that would be worth $75,000. A 25 note is worth $0.75 cents.

🌍 MarkZ Update: The Quiet Switch That Changes Everything

🔍 A Question That Matters

A powerful question was raised recently:

With Iraq, it seems they are moving — but with no fanfare. Do you think they will just switch very quietly and we see it days later?

MarkZ’s answer was direct — and revealing.

🤫 “Exactly What I Believe Will Happen”

According to MarkZ, this is precisely how it is expected to unfold:

No fireworks
No global announcement
No media countdown

To the rest of the world, the change may appear after the fact — quietly noticed days later through banking systems and rate screens.

But to those who are plugged in, it will look very different.

🏦 Why Quiet Benefits the System

MarkZ explains that banks:

Want liquidity
Prefer controlled inflows
Avoid public panic or speculation

This is why banks would quietly begin calling in holders — not broadcasting rates, but managing exchanges behind the scenes.

Silence equals stability.

💱 Dong Rumors Ignite Excitement

A comment circulating in recent discussions raised eyebrows:

“Some rumors say the Dong at $5.35–$5.40. Hope it’s true.”

MarkZ did not dismiss this outright — instead, he shared a short but intriguing bank story.

🏛️ The Bank Story: Restricted but Real?

According to MarkZ:

Deposits have allegedly occurred
Take-home rates between $5.35 and $5.40
These figures are after fees and spreads
Funds are restricted — not yet movable
Serious limitations apply

This suggests early-stage positioning, not public exchange availability.

🔎 Why Restrictions Matter

Restricted funds often indicate:

Pilot programs
Liquidity testing
Compliance checks
Internal bank positioning

In other words, something may be underway, even if not finalized.

MarkZ emphasized he is actively tracking this and seeking confirmation.

⏳ Timeline: Eyes on Monday

MarkZ stated he hopes to verify this information by:

📅 Monday, January 5, 2026

Whether confirmed or denied, the existence of such stories points to movement beneath the surface.

🧠 Why This Fits the Bigger Pattern

Historically, major currency transitions:

Begin quietly
Are tested internally
Restrict early access
Expand only after systems are ready

Public awareness usually comes last, not first.

⭐ Featured Snippet (Google Discover Ready)

According to MarkZ, Iraq’s currency shift is expected to happen quietly, with banks managing liquidity behind the scenes before the public notices any change.

❓ Q&A: MarkZ Currency Insights

Q: Will Iraq announce a major rate change publicly?

A: MarkZ believes it will happen quietly, with confirmation appearing days later.

Q: Why would banks keep it quiet?

A: To manage liquidity, avoid panic, and control exchange flow.

Q: Are Dong rates at $5.35–$5.40 confirmed?

A: No confirmation yet — but bank-related stories suggest early-stage activity.

Q: Why are funds restricted in these stories?

A: Restrictions often signal testing phases or compliance requirements.

🧭 Final Thoughts

Quiet does not mean inactive.

In fact, the quieter it gets, the closer systems usually are to execution.

MarkZ’s comments reinforce a long-held belief in this space:

The biggest changes rarely arrive with headlines — they arrive with bank appointments.

Stay observant. Stay grounded. Watch actions, not noise.

Question: with Iraq it seems they r moving but no fan fair… do u think they will just switch very quietly and we see it days later?

MarkZ: That is exactly what I believe it will appear like to the rest of the world. They are going to try to keep this as quiet as they can. It will appear differently to us…we are more plugged in and banks will want us to come in so they have liquidity.

Comment: Some rumors floating around say Dong @ $5.35/5.40? Hope it's true.

MarkZ: I have a short bank story. Somewhere between $5.35 and $5.40 take home for people who have been allowed to deposit …but cannot yet move it out of that bank. It comes with serious restrictions…

but it seems something is going on. I am trying to get to the root of this and confirm... Can you imagine taking home $5.35 and $5.40 on exchanging dong. And this is after fees and the spread. So I will be tracking that story and hope to have verification by Monday [1-5-26]. That one got me excited.
