TERRANCE: Former Banking Regulator: Iraq Is Laying the Groundwork for a Potential Iraqi Dinar Revaluation

 Terrence 

 [Central Bank/International Bank Regulator] 

 I got into the Iraqi dinar only in 2024...What I saw prior to getting into the dinar was the case for why I think the Iraqi dinar is really on the precipice of being able to revalue very soon. 

 QUESTION:  "What made you say okay this is something ...that has potential

 Rafidain bank...I regulated them around  2017/2018.  What I found was a bank that was dilapidated... It was almost like going back to prehistoric times...a general ledger system which was literally a notebook where debits and credits were entered...I had firsthand knowledge of...what dilapidated bank the central bank was in as well.

  Fast forward to now, there's been all kinds of great, incredible reforms that have been taking  place in Iraq, particularly the banking system. Back in 2024 someone approached me about what would the central bank need to do in order to become compliant.  

 I assembled this knowledge for him.  He was trying to bid for a due diligence contract to identify the gaps that were in the CBI's governance framework which will be used to bring the banking system into compliance...

He told me the United States Treasury had given the Central Bank of Iraq a mandate to get your house in order...From what I understood, this was real...Once I started looking at what they were trying to build out and then also looking at the natural resources in the country...

If you look at the valuation of the minerals that are in the ground, then the asset value, the price of the Iraqi dinar just doesn't make any sense at all.  It's drastically undervalued.

  But with the banking  system being reformed, first you lay the pipes, you learn the rail, then you turn on the water.  What I saw happening is all that groundwork, the rails and piping were being put in place.  Once that's there it's just a decision when to turn on the spigot. That's what I saw happening...which I think makes the use case for revaluation hopefully in the near future.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ“ˆ Why the U.S.–Iraq Joint Statement Is Positive for the Iraqi Dinar's Long-Term Outlook

 ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Joint Statement: Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi and Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack

Key takeaways:


✅ Stronger U.S.–Iraq partnership
✅ Support for Iraq's sovereignty and security
✅ Efforts to bring all weapons under state control
✅ Focus on investment, economic development, and regional stability
✅ Upcoming White House meeting between President Trump and PM Al-Zaidi

๐Ÿ“ˆ In my view, this is a positive development for the possibility of a gradual future appreciation of the Iraqi dinar. Greater security, stronger state control, increased foreign investment, and closer international cooperation help create the kind of economic and institutional conditions that could support long-term currency strength and financial reform.

๐ŸŒŸ Stability first. Growth follows.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ’ป ASYCUDA: Another Important Step Toward Strengthening Iraq’s Economy & The Future of the IQD ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“ˆ

A high-level delegation from the Iraqi federal government is expected to visit the Kurdistan Region in the coming days to finalize and sign an agreement to implement the ASYCUDA customs automation system, following progress in negotiations between Erbil and Baghdad on customs integration and trade procedures.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ’ป ASYCUDA: Another Important Step Toward Strengthening Iraq’s Economy & The Future of the IQD ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“ˆ

For those of us following the Iraqi dinar (IQD) and Iraq’s economic transformation, every structural improvement matters. The implementation of the ASYCUDA customs automation system represents another step toward creating a more organized, transparent, and efficient economic environment. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ

A modern customs system is not just about technology — it is about improving the way Iraq manages trade, controls revenues, reduces inefficiencies, and strengthens financial systems.

In my opinion, reforms like ASYCUDA are part of the foundation Iraq needs to continue building a stronger economy. A country’s currency is supported by many factors: economic stability, strong institutions, proper management of resources, investor confidence, and a system capable of supporting growth.

As Iraq continues improving its infrastructure, trade processes, and financial organization, these steps can contribute to the long-term goal of strengthening the country’s economic position and supporting the gradual improvement of the value and confidence in its currency. ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“Š

The journey is built through steps — agreements, reforms, modernization, and stability. Every piece added brings Iraq closer to a more developed and efficient economic future. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ›ข️ Iraq Continues Making Economic Progress: Another Piece of the Puzzle Moves Forward ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“ˆ

 Erbil and Baghdad have reached a final agreement to resume oil exports from the Kurdistan Region under a two-phase plan that will gradually increase production to 400,000 barrels per day, alongside coordinated security arrangements to protect operating companies.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ›ข️ Iraq Continues Making Economic Progress: Another Piece of the Puzzle Moves Forward ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“ˆ

Although the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) has not yet been fully approved as a final federal law, we are seeing important progress through energy coordination and agreements between Baghdad and Erbil.

In my opinion, these developments are significant because oil remains the backbone of Iraq’s economy. Better organization of exports, stronger oil revenues, and improved cooperation between regions could help increase investor confidence and support Iraq’s economic growth. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ

These steps can be viewed as part of a larger process: building a stronger economy, improving fiscal stability, and creating the foundation needed for future financial reforms.

For those of us following the Iraqi dinar (IQD), the focus is on how each economic improvement adds another piece to the bigger picture. A stronger currency requires a stronger economic foundation, stability, and international confidence. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’ต

The HCL remains an important pending issue, but the progress in energy cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil shows that Iraq continues moving forward in key areas. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿšข A New Chapter Could Be Opening for Iraq’s Economy… The Pieces Continue to Move! ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ“ˆ

The developments surrounding regional stability and the reopening of key trade routes are creating a wave of optimism among those watching Iraq’s economic future closely.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical gateway for global energy markets, and any improvement in security and commercial movement could bring new confidence to the region. For Iraq, a country with enormous oil resources and economic potential, stability is one of the key foundations needed for growth and financial reform.

Many believe these changes could support the bigger picture: stronger investment, increased economic activity, improved international confidence, and continued progress toward Iraq’s financial transformation.

For those following the Iraqi dinar journey, the hope remains that each step toward security, stability, and economic strengthening brings Iraq closer to the next phase of its monetary future. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ’Ž

The foundation must be built first… and every major change starts with preparation. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ Could Iraq be moving closer to a new economic era?
