SIX MEASURES TO PROTECT GOLD AND REGULATE ITS MARKET: MAZHAR SALEH EXPLAINS IRAQ’S VISION FOR NATIONAL WEALTH.
The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, outlined six key measures on Monday to regulate the gold market, noting that the Gold City project is a strategic initiative to protect one of the nation’s greatest assets.
Saleh said in a press statement: “The global rise in gold prices has not led to a decline in demand for it in the local market, but rather has contributed to changing its function from an ‘ornamental commodity’ to a ‘savings tool and protection of value,’ stressing the ‘need to adopt a unified national mark and the obligation of modern technical examination to protect household savings.’”
He added that “this functional transformation of the yellow metal makes quality control and government oversight an urgent economic and social necessity, as it protects families’ wealth and enhances confidence in the market,” indicating that “quick and low-cost procedures, such as the unified national marking and rapid technical inspection, represent sufficient means to restore discipline and reduce manipulation.”
Saleh pointed out that “gold remains a symbol of family security and savings for generations in the Iraqi social memory, and with rising prices, it has become part of the tools of unofficial monetary policy, as it is a store of value parallel to the dinar,” noting that “regulating the market is not a formal procedure, but rather a basic condition for building confidence and protecting national wealth.”
Saleh called for “a comprehensive reform of the gold market system, through the adoption of a unified and mandatory Iraqi mark that includes (carat, testing authority, and year of mark), while criminalizing the trading of unmarked gold,” stressing “the importance of strengthening oversight through field testing using modern technologies such as (XRF),
which reveals the truth about gold immediately without causing any damage to the pieces.”
The financial advisor added that “the next stage requires regulating gold smelting and import operations through workshop licensing and tightening border inspection, as well as establishing a national register for gold traders and adopting unified official invoices to reduce undocumented trading,” noting that “empowering the consumer through awareness campaigns and effective reporting mechanisms represents a fundamental pillar in this system.”
Saleh concluded his remarks by saying: “The institutional completion of the ‘City of Gold’ project has become an urgent necessity, as it represents the official incubator for protecting this great national wealth and providing the highest standards of legal and professional protection for it.”
🌍 Introduction: A Critical Week for Iraq’s Financial Future
According to a boots-on-the-ground report from Frank26 and Firefly, Iraq is entering a decisive phase that could reshape its political and monetary landscape.
Televised announcements inside Iraq are now pointing to an imminent parliamentary session, international certification steps, and direct signals from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) regarding readiness for international financial integration.
These are not rumors — these are sequence-driven developments.
🏛️ Parliament to Vote on the President: Why This Matters
🔥 Firefly Reports from Inside Iraq:
“Just got the news on the televisions that next week, either Monday or Tuesday, Parliament will meet to vote on the president.”
This vote represents the final presidential selection, with the Kurdish bloc submitting the third and final name for approval.
Why is this critical?
It completes the constitutional political framework
Unlocks stalled legislative processes
Allows budget activation
Triggers international certification steps
Without a seated president, nothing moves forward.
🌐 IMF, World Bank & U.S. Treasury Certification: The Next Gate
Frank26 Explains the Sequence:
“Then the next thing is certification from the IMF, World Bank, US Treasury and then the opening of the budget.”
This is a textbook international financial process:
Political stability confirmed
International oversight bodies certify compliance
Budget is opened and executed
Monetary policy adjustments follow
This process aligns perfectly with IMF Article VIII compliance expectations.
💰 The HCL Law: Parliament’s #1 Priority
Once Parliament is fully seated and functional:
“The #1 law then for the parliament is your HCL…”
The Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) is crucial because:
It defines oil and gas revenue sharing
It stabilizes Kurd–Baghdad relations
It strengthens national income transparency
It supports currency credibility
Historically, no major currency reform occurs without revenue clarity.
🏦 CBI Board of Directors: Control of the New Exchange Rate
One of the most powerful statements in this report:
“The board of directors of the CBI are in control of the new exchange rate.”
Even more importantly:
“They just made an announcement that they are ready to go international. Wow.”
What “Going International” Means:
Compliance with global banking standards
Ability to settle international trade directly
Currency credibility in global markets
Potential shift in exchange rate policy
This is not speculation — it is institutional readiness

Is Iraq preparing a new exchange rate?
According to boots-on-the-ground reports, Iraq has finalized political steps, awaits IMF and World Bank certification, and the CBI has announced readiness to go international — all key prerequisites for exchange rate reform.
⚠️ Frank26 Warning: Privacy & Financial Awareness
Frank26 also issued a strong caution:
“Our government is coming after you. Your best friends are coming after you… The less people you tell you’re going to a bank, the better.”
This warning emphasizes:
Financial privacy
Personal security
Discretion during major financial events
Avoiding unnecessary exposure
In times of financial transition, silence is protection.
❓ Q&A: Key Questions Answered
🔹 Q: Is the Iraqi Dinar about to change its exchange rate?
A: The CBI has confirmed readiness, but timing depends on final political and international certifications.
🔹 Q: Why is the presidential vote so important?
A: It completes Iraq’s constitutional structure and unlocks the budget and reforms.
🔹 Q: What role do the IMF and World Bank play?
A: They certify Iraq’s compliance with global financial standards.
🔹 Q: What does “going international” mean for the dinar?
A: It suggests readiness for global trade and potential exchange rate adjustments.
📢 Final Thoughts: Watch the Sequence, Not the Noise
FIREFLY:Just got the news on the televisions that next week, either Monday or Tuesday, Parliament will meet to vote on the president...
FRANK: It's good to see the Kurds are bringing the third and final president's name now for a vote... Then the next thing is certification from the IMF, World Bank, US Treasury and then the opening of the budget. And the #1 law then for the parliament is your HCL...
The board of directors of the CBI are in control of the new exchange rate. They just made an announcement that they are ready to go international. Wow.
Our government is coming after you. Your best friends are coming after you. You told everybody about this. You don't think they're going to come back and ask you? ...The less people you tell you're going to a bank, the better.
As we step into this new year, discernment, faith, and awareness have never been more important.
Many prophetic voices are calling this a great year of breakthrough—a year when long-standing promises finally move from spoken word into visible reality.
What makes this moment unique is not just the prophecies themselves, but the fact that many are now being repeated again and again. In prophetic understanding, repetition signals imminent fulfillment.
So the question becomes: 👉 What will this new year truly bring?
🔔 Why Prophecies Are Repeating Now
We are told that when prophetic words resurface repeatedly, it means they are very close to manifestation.
Many past prophecies—spoken years ago—have not yet fully unfolded. Yet today, they are resurfacing with urgency, clarity, and alignment across multiple prophetic voices.
One of the most notable prophetic declarations came from
Looking at current geopolitical events—especially increasing pressure on Iran—it becomes easier to see how these words may be aligning with reality.
🌍 God Uses Prophets in Times of Trouble
Let us be clear:
If you don’t think the world is in trouble—THINK AGAIN.
History shows that during times of upheaval, confusion, and transition, God raises prophetic voices to bring warning, guidance, and hope.
However, discernment is critical.
⚠️ Discernment Is Essential: Not All Voices Are True
While prophetic insight can be powerful, not every voice claiming prophecy is genuine.
Sadly, within the IQD / RV intel space, we have seen:
Charlatans
False promises
Manipulation for personal gain
This is why discernment, prayer, and wisdom are required.
If you can separate the false from the true, you can connect with something extraordinary—guidance meant to prepare and strengthen you, not deceive you.
🙏 The Power of Prayer
Prayer is not passive—it is participation.
When we pray, we are:
Affirming what God is doing
Expressing gratitude
Aligning ourselves with divine timing
Prayer says: “Thank You, and please continue.”
In uncertain times, prayer anchors us in hope and clarity.
💡 Prophecy Brings Hope and Comfort
Prophetic insight offers reassurance that:
We are not forgotten
There is a higher plan in motion
Justice, accountability, and truth will prevail
I have always tried to share what I believe are legitimate prophetic voices, not to create hype, but to provide clarity and encouragement.
These words are meant to help you stay focused on the TRUTH, especially when the noise grows louder.
🕊️ A Prayer for the New Year
We pray that this year brings:
🔎 Exposure & Accountability
The exposure of corruption
Accountability for those responsible
The fulfillment of God’s promise that justice will triumph
🌐 Sovereign Nations
A truly sovereign Iraq
A strong and sovereign United States
Nations worldwide embracing freedom, liberty, and justice
💰 The Great Wealth Transfer
A historic shift of wealth
Abundance and prosperity
Not just riches, but happiness and purpose
⭐ Featured Snippet Summary
The new year is being described as a prophetic year of breakthrough, marked by exposure of corruption, global realignment, Middle East transformation, and the anticipated wealth transfer tied to sovereignty and justice.
❓ Q&A – Common Questions
Why are prophetic words repeating now?
Repetition often signals imminent fulfillment.
What did Kim Clement prophesy about Iraq?
He foresaw dramatic change in the Iraqi dinar and the Middle East.
Why is discernment important?
False prophets and misinformation can mislead and create false hope.
How does prayer help?
Prayer aligns us with divine purpose and reinforces faith and patience.
What is the “Great Wealth Transfer”?
A prophetic concept involving redistribution of wealth tied to justice, accountability, and sovereignty.
More than ever, we need to tune into the prophets during this new year! This is said to be the great year of the breakthrough in many aspects. Many of these past prophecies have yet to be fulfilled. They are now being repeated time and time again in prophetic word. What does this mean. I am told this means they are very close to fulfillment. Let’s see what the new year brings. Remember God’s prophet Kim Clement told us the Iraqi dinar and the middle east would change drastically. Can you see it now when Iran falls?
God uses his prophets in time of trouble. If you don’t think this nation and the world is in trouble – THINK AGAIN! If you can discern the fake from the good prophets, you can tie into something wonderful to guide you. But be careful there are many charlatans out there and we have witnessed these many bastards already in the IQD RV intel standpoint. Prayer also helps as it lets God know you are affirming as a human being what he is doing. You are essentially saying THANK YOU and please continue! These prophecies give us hope and comfort to know some higher power is looking after us. I have tried to bring you what I believe are some of the legitimate prophets for clarity. I hope they are giving you encouragement to stay focused on the TRUTH.
We pray-
Let it be a year of more EXPOSURE of corruption and just as important, ACCOUNTABLITY for those involved. God says JUSTICE will triumph.
Let it bring a truly sovereign Iraq, United States and all other nations who embrace freedom, liberty and justice.
Let it bring the great Wealth Transfer, with Happiness, Abundance and Prosperity.
SIX MEASURES TO PROTECT GOLD AND REGULATE ITS MARKET: MAZHAR SALEH EXPLAINS IRAQ’S VISION FOR NATIONAL WEALTH.

80% of that currency exists outside the banking system
Citizens are hoarding cash instead of depositing it in banks
This is not a healthy economic signal.
Why does the CBI keep emphasizing this issue?
Because:
Banks lack sufficient liquidity
Monetary reform cannot succeed without funds inside the banking system
The removal of the three zeros requires controlled money flow
🏦 Definition of “Currency in Circulation”
The article clarifies that currency in circulation refers to:
Banknotes issued by the state through the CBI
Paper (and theoretically metal) denominations
Currency outside the vaults of the central bank
While Iraq currently does not circulate coins, the clarification hints at future monetary modernization, especially when lower denominations return.
⚠️ Cash Hoarding: An Unhealthy Phenomenon
The CBI openly acknowledges:
High currency circulation and scarcity within banks means citizens prefer hoarding money rather than depositing it.
This behavior:
Weakens monetary control
Slows economic reform
Forces the government toward digital solutions
💻 Digital Dinar: Final Testing Stage Nearly Complete
Here is where things get very interesting.
According to a direct CBI contact, shared after a recent call to Iraq:
The final stage of digital dinar software testing is almost complete
Once ready, it enables:
Collection of the three-zero notes
Issuance of new lower denominations
Timing is linked to the election cycle
👉 This strongly suggests that digital dinar implementation and removing the zeros are interconnected events.
⏳ Removing the Zeros: January 2026 Timeline?
The CBI reportedly still plans to:
Remove the zeros before the end of January 2026
However, realism is required.
Why the Timeline May Slip Again
Several major hurdles remain:
Drafting new laws to combat Iranian-backed armed factions
Parliamentary approval of:
Oil and Gas Law
New arms legislation
Political stability:
Al-Sudani must return
A fully functional cabinet must be in place
🔴 Expecting all of this to finalize in less than two weeks is overly optimistic.
This deadline has already shifted:
September → End of December → End of January
History suggests patience is still required.
🏅 Gold Strategy: Iraq’s Vision for National Wealth
Another critical article titled:
“Six Measures to Protect Gold and Regulate Its Market: Mazhar Saleh Explains Iraq’s Vision for National Wealth”
outlines Iraq’s long-term asset strategy.
Key Gold Market Reforms
Prime Minister’s financial advisor Mazhar Muhammad Saleh highlighted:
Adoption of a mandatory Iraqi gold mark
Criminalization of unmarked gold trading
Advanced testing using XRF technology
Regulation of gold smelting and imports
Licensing workshops and tightening border controls
Creating a national registry for gold traders
The Gold City Project is central to this vision.
🟡 Is the Digital Dinar Gold-Backed?
In my personal analysis:
The digital dinar will be asset-backed
A significant portion will be backed by gold
Iraq, alongside the United States, is moving toward a gold-standard-based system
This aligns with:
Iraq’s gold accumulation strategy
Market regulation reforms
Global shifts away from fiat currency
📈 Gold & Silver: Signals of a New Financial System
From a prophetic and market perspective:
Silver reaching $100 per ounce is seen as a major benchmark
Gold reacts explosively once a gold standard is officially announced
Gold prices already show strong upward trends
These movements reflect systemic change, not speculation.

⭐ Featured Snippet Summary
Iraq’s monetary reform hinges on digital dinar readiness, election timing, and gold-backed asset strategies. While January targets remain optimistic, the structural foundation for removing the zeros is nearly complete.
❓ Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Iraq concerned about currency outside banks?
Because liquidity is required for monetary reform and removing the zeros.
Is the digital dinar ready?
Final software testing is reportedly near completion.
Are removing the zeros and digital dinar linked?
Yes, both appear tied to the election cycle.
Will the digital dinar be gold-backed?
Strong indicators suggest it will be asset-backed, largely with gold.
Is January 2026 realistic?
Highly optimistic; political and legislative hurdles remain.
An interesting article pops up, again about the stashes of currency outside the banking system. The article is titled “CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ: CURRENCY IN CIRCULATION RISES TO MORE THAN 93 TRILLION DINARS”. We must ask ourselves why the CBI keeps hounding on this issue? These trillions of dinars they say 80% of them are outside the banking system. This is critical for needed liquidity in the banks.
In the article the author points out that the issued currency is the money that the state prints and issues through its central bank for the purpose of circulation, and it includes banknotes of various paper and metal denominations circulating outside the vaults of the central bank. Of course, there are no coins of currency circulated but I think the author was just trying to be clear on what the definition is and it could be fully someday. No harm!
The bank explained that the high volume of currency in circulation and its scarcity in banks means that citizens resort to hoarding money instead of depositing it in banks, which is an unhealthy phenomenon.
I have heard from my CBI contact on a call to Iraq last Saturday that the last stage of testing is almost completed on the software for the digital dinar. So, when it is ready and the GOI has completed its tasks, we can expect to see the collection of the three zero notes and the issuance of the new lower denominations. I asked for a timing of this event and she said to follow the election cycle. So, I now believe there are two events linked to kickoff of removing the zeros and that is the digital dinar and the election cycle.
I was also told that the CBI still plans to move ahead before the end of January 2026 with removing the zeros. That gives us less than two weeks and I believe this is overly optimistic. We have seen this target move before from September then to the end of December and now the end of January. The GOI will need time to daft the new law to combat Iranian-backed factions. Also, parliament will have to pass the Oil and Gas Law as well as this new arms legislation. But first we need Al-Sudani back at the helm and a fully functional new (or old) cabinet. We may not even get this last part done before two weeks. Do you think this is all going to happen in just two weeks? I don’t!
I want to cover one last article today. It is titled – “SIX MEASURES TO PROTECT GOLD AND REGULATE ITS MARKET: MAZHAR SALEH EXPLAINS IRAQ’S VISION FOR NATIONAL WEALTH”. The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, outlined six key measures on Monday to regulate the gold market, noting that the Gold City project is a strategic initiative to protect one of the nation’s greatest assets. We all should know about this gold city project as I presented the article on it when it was first proposed.
Saleh called for “a comprehensive reform of the gold market system, through the adoption of a unified and mandatory Iraqi mark that includes (carat, testing authority, and year of mark), while criminalizing the trading of unmarked gold,” stressing “the importance of strengthening oversight through field testing using modern technologies such as (XRF), which reveals the truth about gold immediately without causing any damage to the pieces.”
The financial advisor added that “the next stage requires regulating gold smelting and import operations through workshop licensing and tightening border inspection, as well as establishing a national register for gold traders and adopting unified official invoices to reduce undocumented trading,” noting that “empowering the consumer through awareness campaigns and effective reporting mechanisms represents a fundamental pillar in this system.”
I personally believe that the new digital dinar will be asset backed and a great percentage of it will be backed by gold. Iraq along with the US will be going back to t he gold standard. In today’s prophetic words once again, God tells us of the new financial system and how it will work and be backed by gold. No longer a fiat system when the printing presses can just print unlimited dollars. When will all this happen? Of course I do not have a crystal ball, but I can say from listening to the prophecy today it is very near. For instance, the prophet Julie Green today talks about silver hitting $100 an ounce as a benchmark, then when the gold standard is announced it goes crazy. Gold spot already closed at $91 last week. Yes, if fluctuates up and down but we are looking at trends. It eventually settles higher and higher at these spikes take it again and again. Please check out my post-RV Investment Section in the blog. I clarifies what is happening with silver.
