48 hours to decide on the presidential candidate
48 hours to decide on the presidential candidate
The Coordination Framework gave the two main Kurdish parties (the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union) a period of (48) hours to resolve their dispute over the position of President of the Republic, according to the official spokesman for the Victory Coalition, Aqeel Al-Rudaini.
Al-Rudaini said in a special statement to Al-Sabah: The Coordination Framework delegation played an important role in bringing the views of the two Kurdish parties closer regarding the issue of electing the President of the Republic.
He added that "the meetings held by the delegation produced positive indicators from the Kurdish side towards not maintaining the political deadlock, and moving forward to complete the constitutional entitlements within their legal frameworks."
Al-Rudaini explained that "the coordination framework gave the Kurdish parties a two-day deadline to end this deadlock and reach an agreement on the selection of the president of the republic in preparation for completing the rest of the constitutional requirements."
The Coordination Framework delegation returned to Baghdad yesterday evening after a series of important meetings with the leaders of the two Kurdish parties, in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah respectively.
The delegation included the head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the Secretary-General of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, the head of the Foundation Coalition, Mohsen al-Mandalawi, in addition to the Secretary-General of the Coordination Framework, Abbas Radhi.
Informed sources told Al-Sabah that the meetings yielded positive results, with an agreement reached on establishing a framework for consensus between the two parties regarding the mechanism for selecting the president. This framework aims to prevent any escalation in the political process and ensure adherence to deadlines.
Constitutional.
The delegation began its talks in Erbil with the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, who stressed the need to define a clear mechanism for electing the President of the Republic, in order to ensure the stability of the political scene and avoid any disruption to national entitlements.
In Sulaymaniyah, the delegation met with the President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani. During the meeting, they reviewed national and regional developments and stressed the importance of unifying national positions and resolving the issue of the presidency in a way that contributes to the formation of a government that reflects the aspirations of all Iraqis and strengthens the path of reform, reconstruction, and development. link
MNT GOAT: ⚠️ Stability Before Reinstatement: Mnt Goat Warns Iraq Is Not There Yet
🇮🇶 Dispelling the Rumors: CBI Does NOT Act Alone
According to Mnt Goat, one of the most dangerous misconceptions in the dinar community is the belief that the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) can simply reinstate the currency whenever it wants — regardless of politics.
“They forget or don’t know that the CBI and the GOI work hand-in-hand. This independence only goes so far.”
Key Reality Check:
The CBI is not isolated from the Government of Iraq (GOI)
Monetary decisions are tied to political authority
Independence exists — but within limits
Ignoring this relationship leads to false expectations.
🧱 Dr. Shabibi’s Golden Rule: Stability and Security First
Mnt Goat reminds investors of a foundational principle repeatedly emphasized by Dr. Sinan al-Shabibi, former CBI Governor.
“STABILITY and SECURITY must occur first prior to any reinstatement.”
These are not buzzwords — they are non-negotiable prerequisites.
What This Means:
A fully seated, functional government
Freedom from foreign intervention
No internal armed conflict
Clear national sovereignty
Without these conditions, Iraq cannot responsibly move to FOREX.
❓ Is Iraq Truly Ready for FOREX?
Mnt Goat poses a blunt and necessary question:
“Do you really think it is now and ready to move to FOREX?”
Given:
Ongoing election drama
Parliamentary boycotts
External pressure
Security concerns
The answer, according to Mnt Goat, is not yet.
🗳️ Election Drama Still Matters — A Lot
Despite claims that elections and corruption no longer matter, Mnt Goat strongly disagrees.
Elections determine legitimacy
Legitimacy determines confidence
Confidence determines currency acceptance
Without a stable political outcome, reinstatement would be reckless, not reform.
🇺🇸 Washington’s Heavy Influence on Iraq’s Leadership
Mnt Goat highlights how deeply involved Washington has been in Iraq’s political process, particularly regarding the Coordination Framework’s choice for Prime Minister.
“So far in this election saga we received lots of input from Washington…”
This confirms that Iraq’s political decisions are still internationally sensitive.
🚫 Maliki’s Chances: “Non-Existent”
Mnt Goat delivers one of the strongest conclusions yet regarding Nouri al-Maliki.
“Finally, we have input from President Trump himself… and so I firmly believe Nori al-Maliki chances of prime minister are non-existent.”
Why This Matters:
Maliki is seen as destabilizing
His return would undermine trust
Global partners would resist monetary reform under his leadership
His removal from contention is a necessary step, but not the final one.
🧩 CBI Reinstatement Is the Final Step — Not the First
Mnt Goat’s core message is about sequence:
Stable government
National security
Reduced foreign interference
Political legitimacy
THEN — monetary reinstatement
Skipping steps risks failure.
🔍 Featured Snippets
🔹 Does the CBI work independently of Iraq’s government?
According to Mnt Goat, the CBI works closely with the Government of Iraq, and its independence has limits.
🔹 What must happen before Iraq reinstates its currency?
Iraq must achieve political stability and national security before any reinstatement can occur.
🔹 Does Mnt Goat think Maliki can return as PM?
No. Mnt Goat believes Maliki’s chances are now nonexistent due to U.S. opposition.
❓ Q&A Section
Q: Can the CBI reinstate without a stable government?
No. Political stability is mandatory.
Q: Are elections still relevant?
Yes. They determine legitimacy and confidence.
Q: Is Iraq secure enough right now?
Not yet, according to Mnt Goat.
Q: Is Maliki officially out?
Mnt Goat believes his return is effectively blocked.
🧠 Final Perspective
Mnt Goat offers a sobering but grounded reminder:
Hope must be balanced with reality
Monetary reform is not isolated
Stability and security are the gatekeepers
Yes, progress is happening — but Iraq is not finished yet.
Patience now prevents disappointment later.

Again, I have to dispel rumors... that the CBI works independently and that they will reinstate when they are ready regardless of the elections and corruption...They forget or don’t know that the CBI and the GOI work hand-in-hand. This independence only goes so far.
Iraqi retirees are angry about the delay in their pensions and are demanding that banking officials be held accountable
Iraqi retirees are angry about the delay in their pensions and are demanding that banking officials be held accountable.
On Tuesday, a number of retirees called on members of parliament to host those responsible for the delay in salary payments, particularly the directors of government banks, specifically Al-Rafidain and Al-Rasheed banks.
The retirees told Shafaq News Agency that the lack of financial liquidity, along with weak banking development, the failure to introduce modern technologies and keep pace with technology, have greatly contributed to the exacerbation of the crises, in addition to the absence of strategic plans and poor performance in banking work.
He pointed out that modernizing banking systems and adopting modern electronic means would increase revenues, strengthen the state treasury, and improve the level of services provided to citizens.
The retirees also called on the relevant authorities to take urgent measures to address the crisis and ensure the regular disbursement of salaries, given its direct impact on the living conditions of a large segment of citizens.
The Ministry of Finance had previously called on government banks to work on Friday and Saturday in order to boost funding and expedite salary payments, but this step did not achieve tangible results due to the continued shortage of liquidity and financial balance. link
FRANK26, FIREFLY & OMAR: 💱 Dinar Shortage Signals Currency Shift as Maliki Scandal Explodes in Iraqi Media
🇮🇶 Boots on the Ground: Severe Dinar Shortage Confirmed
According to Firefly, reporting directly from inside Iraq:
“There is a severe shortage of dinars…”
At first glance, this may sound alarming — but Frank26 immediately reframes the narrative.
💡 Frank26: This Is NOT a Crisis — It’s the Plan
Frank26 explains that the dinar shortage is intentional and strategic, not accidental.
“Of course there is a storage of 3 zero notes. That’s been the whole purpose of the monetary reform for many years now.”
What’s Really Happening:
Large 3-zero notes are being pulled from circulation
Currency supply is being tightened
Iraq is preparing for a value increase
Lower denomination notes must replace the old structure
This is a textbook monetary transition, not a failure.
📉 Why a Dinar Shortage Forces a Value Increase
Frank26 breaks it down clearly:
“This is when you need to raise the value of your currency so you can introduce the lower notes.”
Why This Matters:
You cannot introduce small bills at a low exchange rate
Purchasing power must increase first
Liquidity comes from value, not volume
“It’s not a crisis… it’s a continuation process of the monetary reform.”
In short: this is great news.
💵 Liquidity Is Coming — But in a New Form
Frank26 emphasizes that Iraq is not running out of money — it is changing the structure of money.
Old notes → stored
New lower notes → introduced
Value → adjusted upward
Liquidity → restored properly
This sequence aligns perfectly with global monetary reform standards.
📺 Maliki Wikileaks Explode Across Iraqi Media
Adding fuel to the moment, Omar reports a major media shift inside Iraq:
“Apparently whatever was signed with the CBI and the media busted all of this Maliki Wikileaks information loose…”
What Changed?
Restrictions appear lifted
Corruption allegations are now openly discussed
Iraqi television is covering Maliki in detail
The public is fully aware
“The details about Maliki’s alleged corruption are definitely out there on Iraq’s television.”
⚠️ Why the Timing of the Maliki Scandal Matters
The sudden media exposure is not random.
Key Implications:
Political cleanup is accelerating
Public opinion is being prepared
Problem figures are being discredited
Monetary reform requires trusted leadership
This aligns with earlier reports of Maliki being removed from influence.
🧩 Currency Reform + Political Exposure = Sequence
Taken together, these developments form a clear sequence:
Pull 3-zero notes
Tighten dinar supply
Prepare lower denominations
Increase currency value
Expose and remove corrupt actors
Restore confidence
Nothing here is accidental.
