Al-Maliki Pledges Global Partnerships Under Iraqi Sovereignty

 Al-Maliki Pledges Global Partnerships Under Iraqi Sovereignty

 Shafaq News- Baghdad   State of Law Coalition leader Nouri Al-Maliki affirmed on Sunday Iraq’s openness to solid international partnerships with the United States and Europe, noting that “Baghdad’s hand is extended” for regional and global cooperation.

 In a post on X, Al-Maliki framed this stance as a national duty, stressing the importance of strengthening Iraq’s political process and investing in the country’s infrastructure, education, energy, and public services. He also insisted that Iraq’s identity is “purely Iraqi,” noting that decisions are made in the best interest of its people. 

X    Nouri Al-Maliki        @nourialmalikiiq

Our national responsibility towards our people and our homeland #Iraq compels us to strive and dedicate our expertise to correcting and strengthening the course of the political process. 

We believe in a democratic, civil Iraq that is open to solid international partnerships such as the United States and Europe, where economic relations with them will bring about a revolution in expanding and deepening infrastructure, education, service development, and energy. 

We affirm that our identity is purely Iraqi, based on the will of our Iraqi people, and that our decision stems first and foremost from the interest of our people. 

And our hand is extended for regional and international cooperation and integration for the benefit of the peoples of the countries of the region and the world. 

The remarks come amid a split within the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), Iraq’s largest parliamentary bloc, over whether Al-Maliki should remain its candidate for the country’s next premier. 

Earlier today, several sources informed Shafaq News that Al-Maliki insisted any decision to withdraw his nomination for prime minister must be made by a majority vote within the CF, framing voluntary withdrawal as “yielding to US pressure.” According to the sources, some figures within the CF are using intermediaries to encourage a withdrawal without public attribution, while others are mobilizing support to secure enough backing for a majority vote at a meeting expected within hours, ahead of a US-linked deadline. 

Nouri Al-Maliki’s new doctrine for power: Pragmatism over defiance? 

The United States has openly opposed Al-Maliki’s potential return to office. A US State Department spokesperson indicated to Shafaq News that President Donald Trump’s position remains unchanged, cautioning that selecting Al-Maliki would prompt Washington to reassess its relationship with Iraq. The spokesperson cited concerns about the influence of Iran-backed armed factions in Iraqi politics and the need to strengthen economic partnerships aligned with US objectives. 

Al-Maliki, who led the government for eight years between 2006 and 2014, has reaffirmed his commitment to his candidacy, noting that any reversal must come through a formal decision by the CF.

SOMO: All Correspondence With U.S. Confirms The Soundness Of Our Procedures, No Threat Of Sanctions

 SOMO: All Correspondence With U.S. Confirms The Soundness Of Our Procedures, No Threat Of Sanctions

Baghdad-INA    The State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) on Sunday denied receiving any official notification or threat of U.S. sanctions, affirming that its oversight mechanisms for crude oil and petroleum product exports are robust and coordinated with international authorities.

Ali Nizar al-Shatri, Director General of SOMO, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that “we have not received any official communication regarding U.S. sanctions. We rely exclusively on formal documents and official correspondence, and do not rely on statements circulating informally.”

He added that “all understandings and discussions, including those with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, confirm the soundness of the mechanisms, documentation, and procedures employed by SOMO.”

The company enforces strict control mechanisms over all tankers entering Iraqi territorial waters, issuing daily reports detailing the nature of vessels and their destinations, in coordination with security authorities overseeing the territory. “These measures provide full reassurance regarding the institution’s integrity and the safeguarding of the national budget’s lifeline,” al-Shatri said.

He also explained that “Iraq has now become a major exporter of petroleum products,” noting that revenues from these exports have begun to rival crude oil earnings, underscoring the company’s commitment to preserving this vital economic sector.   https://ina.iq/en/economy/45663-somo-all-correspondence-with-us-confirms-the-soundness-of-our-procedures-no-threat-of-sanctions.html

MarkZ Update: HCL Law, Kurdish Revenue Sharing & Iraqi Dinar Revaluation Outlook

 Introduction

MarkZ provides a detailed explanation of Iraq’s HCL law and its connection to the Kurdish region, highlighting how this law historically signals the revaluation (RV) of the Iraqi dinar. Recent reports suggest potential exchange rates at the end of the month, though MarkZ believes the actual rate will be much higher.

This post breaks down HCL law, Kurdish revenue sharing, rumored exchange rates, and what this could mean for the Dinar community.


What Is HCL Law in Iraq?

  • HCL Law refers to revenue sharing between Iraq and the Kurdish region.

  • Iraq functions as two countries in one, with the Kurdish region having a semi-autonomous economy.

  • According to MarkZ, for the last 20 years, the passage of HCL law has been closely tied to immediate RV movement—within hours or days of approval.

Featured snippet:

“HCL law governs revenue sharing with the Kurdish region. Its passage historically signals imminent revaluation of the Iraqi dinar.”


Rumored Exchange Rates

  • Reports via PDK sources suggest a possible exchange of $59,300 USD per million Dinars at the end of the month.

  • The scheduled possible exchange is early next week, though it remains  unconfirmed.

  • MarkZ emphasizes that the actual rate is likely higher, citing rates appearing and disappearing on bank screens.

Google Discover snippet:

Rumors indicate a potential Dinar exchange at $59,300 per million, but MarkZ expects the real rate to be higher.


Why HCL Law Is Critical for RV

  1. Revenue Sharing: Resolving Kurdish revenue disputes allows Iraq to stabilize finances and international banking relationships.

  2. Immediate Market Impact: Historically, passing HCL triggers near-immediate movement in revaluation rates.

  3. Investor Awareness: Dinar holders should monitor HCL passage closely as it may signal timing for exchanges.


MarkZ Member Q&A

Q1: What does HCL law cover?
A: Revenue sharing between Iraq and the Kurdish region, crucial for budget and economic stability.

Q2: Does HCL passage guarantee revaluation?
A: Historically, yes—within hours or days, but timing and exact rates are unpredictable.

Q3: Are rumored exchange rates accurate?
A: Reports of $59,300 USD per million Dinars are possible, but MarkZ believes the actual rate will be higher.

Q4: Why do rates appear and disappear on bank screens?
A: Banks sometimes test or post tentative rates before official RV announcements. This reflects market volatility and early speculation.


Key Takeaways

  • HCL law is a major catalyst for Iraqi dinar revaluation.

  • Revenue sharing with the Kurdish region directly impacts the financial and political landscape.

  • Rumored rates exist, but the true RV rate could be significantly higher.

  • Investors should monitor HCL law passage and subsequent market activity for key signals.


Conclusion

MarkZ’s February update underscores the importance of HCL law in predicting Iraqi dinar revaluation. While rumors and preliminary rates circulate, historical trends suggest that RV typically follows HCL passage quickly.

For those tracking the Dinar, staying informed on Kurdish revenue resolutions and banking updates is essential to anticipate potential exchanges and maximize understanding of RV timing.

MarkZ  

Question: What is HCL law in Iraq?  

MarkZ:  Its revenue sharing with the Kurdish region. Iraq is kinda 2 countries in one with the Kurdish region. We have been told for the last 20 years when we see HCL pass…within hours or days we would see the revaluation of the dinar.   

 [via PDK]   there are reports that someone is going to exchange for $59,300US per million Dong at the end of the month. This is the figure that the bank gave them. Their possible exchange is scheduled for the first of next week…so we will find out if this is true or not. 

 I still think the rate will be way higher than that.  There have been rates populating and disappearing on bank screens.
